Cant boot my phone...Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock

Hi I have a big problem because since I tried to reboot to install an add-blocker, I can't go into recovery and I can't start my gt-n9005 anymore because following error message comes:
Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock.
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL
And when I want to flash something with odin in download mode following error message appears:
SECURE CHECK FAIL: Recovery
Please help me I don't know what to do. Thank's in advanced...
Could please someone help me?
Can you boot your phone? If you, can, you can go to settings and uncheck the reactivation lock..after that, you should be able to enter recovery normally.
Regards!

Sorry, I misread the statement..my bad!
To the OP: what happens when you try to boot? I am asking because I just recovered my device from a similar condition...

Try flash back your country firmware with correct CSC.
Try this it might help if that is the thing you did before - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46389503&postcount=2 scroll down to section mention
HELP! I flashed N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1 and now I am stuck in download mode! What do I do?!
You are mostly going to trip the KNOX Warranty at this point.
Flash this AP N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1_BTU_RECOVER.tar.md5 (2.05 GB) and this CSC N9005OXABMJ3_CSC.tar.md5 (38.0 MB)

Factory reset won't help, as Reactivation is blocking you if you had use different country CSC and you did it before you un-tick the Reactivation Lock.
I can't boot my phone and i can't boot recovery...i always get the message "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Secure fail: Kernel" with a yellow alert triangle underneath, even if I normally try to boot my phone. And when I than press the power button the phone turns off again.
I tried to flash cwm with odin but that also failed.
So before i go downloading another firmware (i live in a dormatory and only have 10gb internet a month) do you really think that would work?

I had this exact problem recently and I booted by going into download mode and then pressing volume up to reboot. Somehow or other that would boot. Powering off and back on would always get that error that you are getting.
Thank you very much RP that let me boot and uncheck the lock. I had just installed Goo and put twrp on my device.

So i went back stock rom with Odin.

I had posted the solution here on a different thread but let me make it easier for you:
Solution.
1. download KIES 3 (for note 3)
2. Click tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization
3. Put phone into download mode (press Volume down+Home Button+Power Button and then volume up)
4. Connect your phone (it is OK if it is not recognized by KIES, just keep it connected)
5. Now do as it says by typing in your Phone model number (check the battery compartment).
6. Type in the S/N.
7. Let it do its business and download the firmware.
8. Once firmware is downloaded, It will start communicating with the phone.
9. You can see a blue progress line on the screen under the android guy.
10. Let it finish and restart.
DONE! you are back to stock..
NOTE: This doesnt make your KNOX warranty 0x0 if it is already 0x1.
Click Thanks if it helped!!
Calm down guys
What I did was enter into download mode like rp1790 suggested and maybe he did a typing error. When in download mode press down to restart the phone. It bypassed the custom binary block error and booted as normal.

This doesn't work if you install a firmware with the new bootloaders... You CAN'T flash an older bootloader over the new one. It just sends you into a bootloop....
And thats before you include the re-activation lock error...

I have also just encountered the same error as the OP, however the above method doesn't work for me, kies 3 gives me an unknown error (i.e. it doesn't say what error) and just fails.
Same deal as me, was using X-Note and installed the add blocker, rebooted, BAM.
Any help is going to be greatly appreciated!
:crying:
yop
i've the same problem and a full wipe fix it
Just got it fixed
I recently had this problem.
I've read from this thread to boot into download mode and just cancel. It will boot normally after that. I'll never reactivate it again.

[Q] Galaxy S4 i9505 Bricked - No Recovery Mode - Stuck in Bootloop

Guys,
I was using the Cyanogenmod 11 for about 2 weeks and I always got the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and the phone always booted up fine 90% of the times. Today I got the message saying that there was a new version of the firmware and I clicked ok for the phone to restart and begin the update process.
After that, I was stuck in the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message no matter what I did.
I entered the recovery mode and wiped the cache partition to see if that solved the problem. After this, I'm not able to access the recovery mode anymore and the phone is stuck on the samsung logo.
So I put it in download mode, opened Odin (It recognized the phone just fine) and flashed the original firmware in order to unbrick the phone. Got a PASS on Odin and I was still stuck on bootloop with no recovery mode.
Tried flash it again with the pit file (thought it would fix the partition) and the problem stills perssists.
I tried to run the Cyanogenmod installer and it doesn't recognize the phone anymore, saying the model is not compatible. Odin still recognizes the phone as always when I put it in download mode.
Any ideas?
Have I lost the phone ?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best Regards

Hi,
When you run the stock firmware through odin , you must wipe the cache an data before and after the flash.
Did you do that?

Hi,
Are you sure you are trying to access it correctly?
Try holding the power button + volume up.
When the blue writing comes up , let go of all the buttons , and tap volume down.
If that still does not work , install the stock firmware again , and see if you can then get back to recovery mode.

Already did that, still no sucess. It enters the download mode normally but when I try to enter the recovery mode the blue text appears and then the screen goes black and the phone tries to boot and gets stuck on the samsung logo. (And yes I already tried holding the buttons until something else appears on the screen and nothing happens. )
And yes I'm trying to acess it correctly.
Thansks!

Hi,
Then , you should try flashing a non-knox firmware .
Unfortunately ,I do not know AT&T firmwares.
Perhaps someone HERE can help.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Turn your device off.Take out any existed SIM or memory card.Wait for 10 seconds. Put the battery back. Press and hold the Volume Up key + Home key, Then press the Power key. Keep pressing the keys until Samsung logo appears,Then release The Power Key only. When you get Factory reset / System Recovery menu on screen, Release all keys.Use the Volume Down key to select Wipe Data / Factory Reset option. Use the Power key to confirm the operation. You need to use the Volume Down key again to select "Yes -- delete all user data" Use the Power key to confirm. After performing the hard reset, Select Reboot System Now option, And confirm it using the Power key. Now the phone will reboots, Wait for it to be fully on and then you can start using it.

If anybody is trying to install 4.4.4 in Galaxy SIII NEO DUOS PAK then i think you should try UAE Firmware. i read it on sammobile that it would work for PAK phones. i am downlading it rightnow. i'll let you know if it worked.
Infact Qazil it was you there if i am not wrong.. did it worked for you ?
Plus if anyone have any idea why we are unable to flash any KitKat custom or official ROM, then please share the solution.

Black Screen of Death after flashing TWRP

So i flashed TWRP with Odin on my Galaxy S5 (first time I flashed anything on it). Rebooted and then everything was normal, transferred the lineage nightly and gapps and then tried to reboot into recovery... then nothing! It vibrates, i get fb messages, it works but no screen, not even a samsung boot screen at the very beginning .
I've tried all the trick on the many pages of google about BSOD but it always falls back to: Send to your carrier. Welp, I'm in Canada and this phone is European... so no sending it back anytime soon.
Could I flash through Odin something to make it work? Is there another way to make it function? I'm gonna keep looking but if anyone can help me out... Thanks!
Follow these steps:
1 - go to offical TWRP site
2 - find your correct Galaxy S5 model (there are a lot of models, simply check number: SM-G900F is different than SM-G900FD)
3 - download latest version in img.tar format (twrp-3.2.1-0-klte.img.tar)
4 - turn off phone
5 - put phone in "download mode" (power + home + vol-)
6 - connect phone to PC (be sure you have latest drivers)
7 - start Odin with Admin privileges (right click -> Run as Administrator)
8 - click on AP or PDA and select img.tar file you downloaded
9 - in "Option" tab select ONLY "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time"
10 - be sure that in ID:COM tab you have a value
11 - click on "Start" and wait
If you done it correctly, phone auto restart itself. Turn it off and turn on in "recovery mode" (power + home + vol+), wipe all and install first the ROM you want, and then Gapps. Remember that you need a su add-on to gain root access in certain ROMs.
EDIT: if not working, try to flash stock ROM for your model.
This happened to me, too. I tried flashing TWRP a million times with Odin and it would boot into stock recovery. Then I found another version of TWRP for my tablet(or so it said) and when I flashed it and it rebooted, the screen was gone. Same thing: I can hear it at the Android setup screen, there's just no screen. I've got a Galaxy Tab A [T290].
Any ideas would be great.
