Reactivation Lock Bypass (Samsung Account)

Hi everybody, I don't know if this will help all you but this is what worked for me (Android 6.0.1):
1. On the setup wizard (after factory wipe), connect to internet (wifi/data)
2. Select "Emergency call"
3. Call to any valid number (112 for example)
4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works).
5. Select browser.
6. Go to google.
7. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8
8. Download it and install it.
9. Open it and search for "Samsung account".
10. Click on Clear Data and then Disable.
11. Go back to google and search for QuickShortMaker
12. Install it and open it.
13. Search for "Setup Wizard", it will expand.
14. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity"
15. Done! You can now use the phone and restart.
Ok after this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (Settings>Accounts), buuuuut, you can't add it . What I did was:
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and enabled "Samsung Account".
2. Then go to Settings>Back up and reset
3. Factory data reset
4. Asked for Samsung account and I inserted my real account.
5. Done, now I can sync with my account.
The oooooooonly issue that I can't figure out it's the way to remove the "Reactivation lock" from Settings>Lock screen and security>Find my mobile.
Well that's all hope it works for you guys.
If this doesn't work for you, you can check out unlockjunky, they will definitely be able to do it.
Good luck!!

What ever you do, absolutely do not dial for example ( 112 )
Turns out 112 will connect you to your local emergency dispatch.....
Ask me how I know...
please change your number in the above post for newbies who may be trying to learn and have no clue what these phones are capable of...

Mate, you are an absolute legend! I've been searching for 8hrs looking for a solution after hard resetting my phone and being unable to get past the Samsung Account lock afterwards (even though I had the right username & password!) About fifty useless/outdated YT videos & a few hundred websites/forums later - none of which were helpful, I finally stumbled across your post, despite it not showing up 8hrs ago when I came straight to XDA hoping to find a solution first.
I have an improved method for #2, 3 & 4 of your post and will add all relevant info soon (just need some kip now that the panic is over). I'll also expand a little on some details and include further options which worked in my particular case, but all n'all - you're an absolute legend mate and I'd be screwed & still panicking without your shared info. Huge thanks...

You have to dial an emergency number or this trick doesn't work. Its not practical for most folks but if you are worried about dialing an emergency number I'd recommend using a SIM out of a tablet that isn't phone number enabled.

Look for Aptoide apk download it to sd card and search for package disabler in this app and install it or download and copy Pachkage disabler you your sd card and run via file explorer or download and run ES File manager as I did.

when i make the call my wifi gets turned off and wont come back on till i restart the phone. i managed to open the browser but the wifi is off so i cant do anything after that except cry.
stock 5.0

Did you get it figured out I got the edge 6 plus to work fine now it was one of the tougher ones and I've done a few on some newer models what are you stuck on?

I thought the Combination Firmware would reset the FRP lock by default after being installed.

first thank you for sharing ur experience and i want to add
that i done it step by step and it works nicely but still cant remove the reactivation
and here is how iv done it after i bypassed it using ur method
i flashed a lower modem file from stock rom N910VVRU2BOG5 which is 5.0.1
at this point my imei went off
so i went for full flash by N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME. which is 5.1.1 and did full hard reset
then i just signed in with the last Samsung account i used with ur method earlier and it passed so now i can easly remove reactivation mark , unlock and root then make it Arabic .
thx again

Did you ever post up the suggested steps to replace #'s 2-4 in the original post above? I'm not seeing them anyplace. This would be a big help. Thanks.

When I call I can't swipe to the right is there another way to open browers

I successfully used this to gain access to my phone but I believe that if I power cycle it I will be locked out again. Is there any way to remove or change the samsung account now that I am in? The options are greyed out in settings.

ADB and Root.
Hey, I have been working on these for a while keep finding new things each time I try to remove Reactivation Lock. However I was wondering if I show you guys how to enable ADB with RSA Key, and Root the device. Could someone show me how to remove the Reactivation Lock using root. I used other methods on older and newer models, but these S5's are the only ones giving me issues.

After weeks of going mad trying different solutions I've found online, here's what worked 100% for me just last night:
Login to Samsung Account on other device, select Password & Security, enter password then choose Devices. LOG-OUT of your S6 Edge if listed, confirm. Next change password - doesn't matter what, can even change it back afterwards.
Flash Lollipop (I used G925VVRU4BOK7)
Wipe Data/Cache
Boot fresh Stock firmware, enter/confirm network details, at Reactivation Lock prompt, enter user & updated password. Sign-in....
Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Find My Mobile. Unselect Reactivation Lock and enter password... voila!
Works for anybody else??

Just return it, it must be stolen device.
Do you really trust seller?

Do a factory reset via computer with the Sony Companion software it will get it out of the retail demo mode

Let's see if this helps, go to settings then system select developer options if u have enabled it. Select system UI demo mode and then switch off enable demo mode. Hope this helps.

@ufo56
Flash your phone using flashtools (find the matching firmware to your region.... after you flash your phone (if the annoying demo still there)
use this code *#*#73556673#*#* and it will be permanently deactivated, and your phone can charge to 100% when it's turned on The code should be typed in phone dialer
Let me know if it worked for you! GOOD LUCK!

Help with download mode Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Dual SIM 64GB SM-N950F korean

Hello all . I have problem with note8 . bought it few days ago , owner did wipe the phone thru recovery wipe data etc after that the phone normally turned on .
so i checked it and all worked without issue . turned off the phone then the guy removed hes simcard .
when i got home i put my own sim into it (same network as the guy i bought it from ) turned on and now all i am getting on the screen is " Please enter Privacy Protection password to unlock .
the previous owner vanished but i checked the imei and its clean .
After googling i found out that its asking for the password because the original sim was removed and the only way to bypass it its to flash it with other rom / firmware .
I got stock firmware corresponding to the model but i cant access download mode on it .
tried volume down + bixby + power no luck
volume down + bixby + power , release power but still holding the vol+bix brings me to screen with options i guess chinese ...
vol up+bix + power brings me to recovery
Can anyone help me with it ?

Try "USB JIG Emulator - Samsung 300K" to get access into download mode

First your phone is a galaxy s8 sm-G950F
Which imei number did you check the one on back of phone or when you dial *#06# in dialer to check?
I would check the imei from *#06# (not the serial number).
Download Phone Info Sam app from play store. See if the imei matches and that you have a exynos soc.
And yes you'll get a download mode and that Chinese letters is most likely your download mode options. Which might mean you got a pretty good fake galaxy s8.
As I know you can't flash sm-G9500 (snapdragon soc) onto a Sm-G950F (exynos soc). So don't know where the Chinese language popped up from or where you can change the language for download mode.
Check out the galaxy s8 forums for any info.

Not sure what's going on here.first screenshot is common for China phones, which is the base for all China cloned phones.
Second screenshot belongs to a samsung s8 phone.
But your title says note 8.
Either you are confused or the phone is confused.

HI Hi am wondering if you could help with my Galaxy Note 8
I am able to install the firmware using ODIN without any errors on download mode but after ODIN is finished the phone turns off and does not boot.
I have taken the phone to a repair shop as well and they have confirmed that there is no hardware issues,
My model number is SM-950F , basically stuck on download mode

Try getting into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Or
In Odin use all 4 files AP, CP, BL, AND CSC (use the CSC file NOT the home-CSC ). (Try checking Nand erase all.)
Also you can do both if you want too.
I wonder if you need to re-partition your phone?
I would take the phone back to the service shop you took it too and tell them to get it working. I find it hard to believe they will tell you it's not a hardware fault when they can't get the phone to boot up! If they cant get it to boot they need to give you a new motherboard.
How did they check the phone without the phone booting up? Isn't that there first test to see if the phone starts up to home screen?

No luck turning the phone on recovery mode only can use download mode and i have tried the same files with the Nand erase all, the same thing .. Odin installs all the files without any errors but does not boot up after installation is finished.
The service shop said they checked components on the motherboard and there is no damage or no IC has been damaged.
What do you suggest i do next?

Google Pay not working - Phone not rooted

Hey,
I purchased a Samsung Note 8 (SM-N950F) a couple of years from Amazon.de. The phone was unlocked, since then new OS releases were really slow so I decided to download the Pie update from Sammobile and updated my phone via Odin. The phone is using official firmware and has never been rooted yet when I try to activate Google Pay I receive the following error; "Couldn't finish setup to pay in shop. This phone can't be used to pay in shops. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way."
I spoke to Samsung and told me to check a few things and they confirmed the phone is not rooted, I spoke to Google and they told me I should ask Samsung how to unlock the bootloader but Samsung said doing this would void my warranty. I'm a bit confused as to what to do, is there a stock pie rom I can use without voiding my warranty?
Thanks a lot, appreciate any help
Regards
p4rma

The only thig i can think of is that, the phone you've got has a CSC code of a region where Google Pay is not supported, or maybe you are living in a country that do not support Google Pay.
If you think I'm wrong, flash stock pie firmware.
Flashing stock offiicial binaries doesn't need your bootloader to be unlocked.

Thanks for the quick reply I will try this. Would Samsung have their own stock pie rom? Kinda wish I just waited for the pie update rather than flashing. Its annoying I can't use Netflix either as it says my device is not compatible.
I just checked and my bootloader is N950FXXU7DSJ1

Hey there,
I also faced the same issue when using GPay. I recommend trying these steps, might workout for you (it did for me):
Before doing this I recommend Backing your phone up, sometimes phone might erase user data but I didn't lose data.
1. Goto Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Build Number (Tap this thing 7 times). It should display a toast saying Developer options has been enabled.
2. Go back to Settings > Developer Options.
3. Turn on USB Debugging first, just in case.
4. See if OEM Unlock is turn on, if it is then turn it off.
5. Try turning it back on if it is turned off, you phone will reboot if you do so. Once rebooted, go back and turn it back off.
You shall be able to use Google Pay.
Note: These are the exact same steps that I did and it started to work for me.
As for changing CSC its a little complicated (by rooting its way easier but then you will lose Samsung Pay & some other Knox features). You will need to do a couple of steps and it also leads to erasing of user data.
If you don't wanna risk anything, why not try SPay. It might be supported in your country.

It has been permanently fixed for me, I never faced any issue with GPay after that method (I don't use Netflix though). Could you also see if you phone is updated to the latest version, if so also check if your phone has a fix for Stagefright.
To check if you are vulnerable to that exploit download this app it will tell you Click Here . If it fails, try OEM unlock as off and see, might fix it.
I really hope this issue doesn't come back for you.

Question S21 Ultra SM-G998B

Dear Friend,
I am having issue with S21 Ultra which i purchase just 2 months ago.
I decide to make my device root able , then i have notice that there is no OEM Lock option (Missing) in developer mode.
After searching XDA forum and Google all the setups mention there i have tried to visible OEM Unlocker option but OEM lock option never visible. Even flash stock rom again and again and wait for 168H but still its not visible.
When i go in download mode and try to flash TWRP or any custom rom it show below mention msg.
"Cause
No sign info: (Recovery)
Custom Binary (Recovery) due to remaining installment balance"
Can any one guide me what is the issue, i had purchase this product with Full payment then why it is behaving so strange.

google is best friend please add him to your friend list
reboot to download mode(connected phone to pc, reboot and hold vol+ and vol-) and read first screen options:
EDIT: sorry if you cant see these option list, there could be something different in your case.

Very srtange situation. I have exact same model.

I think you need to have a SIM card in there and to have internet access to see the OEM unlock toggle. Do both of these things apply to you?

Try disabling the automatic date and time and set the date to a day at least one week from now

I have observe a very strange thing, when ever I reboot the device and visit develope option Oem Locker appear then again revisit to developer option it disappear again. Only rebooting device option bring oem option just for few minutes.

so then, when you see unlock option reboot right to DL mode and look if you see device unlock

Latest file available is COMBINATION_FAC_FAR0_G998BXXU3AUD3
( I think this not usable on Android 12 version (U4)
Please suggest what option i have left to resolve above mention issue.

Could you try to flash latest Stock rom(Via odin) and try again?
