Galaxy S5 SM-G900V Samsung Account Lock: No WIFI to Choose at the Wizard WIFI Screen

I bought this phone which was freezing up. I thought that a firmware upgrade would do the trick. However, there was a Samsung Account of the phone and I was not aware of. The phone goes to the first set up screen, asks me to connect to WIFI but there is not WIFI providers to choose from. I click in the refresh WIFI list and the phone asks me to turn on WIFI. However, I do not have access to the WIFI on/off switch due to Samsung account lock. After a couple minutes the phone would again freeze up. Sometimes it restarts or it would simply stay in a black screen. I have to remove the battery and start the process all over. I have tried re-flashing via ODIN . I update the phone via Verizon Software Assistance to the latest firmware Marshmallow G900VVRU2DPF4. But I downgraded to G900VVRU2BOE1 Lollipop 5.0 firmware now. I also tried removing the account by flashing the modem.bin file but I get stock in the same spot. Guys, please help!

Will Marshmallow lock the bootloader on my T-Mobile S5?

Sorry if these are dumb questions... I have searched unsuccessfully for answers here and I am new to the forums and to Android... not sure where to ask this...

I just bought a new (unsold stock) T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) phone and activated it on the T-Mobile network. The phone came with G900TUVU1ANE6 (4.4.2) from the factory. After only a few hours of operation T-Mobile has pushed an unnamed update to the phone which I assume is G900TUVU1GPE1 (6.0.1) Marshmallow. I have postponed installation of the update but don't know how long I can postpone it or if I can prevent its installation.

Will installing Marshmallow cause my S5's bootloader to become locked? I ask because I found this on Wikipedia (link not allowed) "As of Marshmallow, the Android Compatibility Definition Document contains new security mandates for devices, dictating that those that are capable of accessing encrypted data without affecting performance must enable Secure boot and device encryption by default".

Or is my G900T's bootloader already locked? I ask because I found this at root my galaxy dot net (link not allowed) "If your device’s bootloader is locked then you will get the update via OTA. [...] If your device is rooted or bootloader is unlocked then you have to manually Flash / Install Official Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Firmware On T-Mobile Galaxy S5 using Odin Flash tool".

The second question worries me more. I bought a T-Mobile S5 because so many sources claim the G900T bootloaders are unlocked. Now I'm unsure. Is there an easy way to determine if my bootloader is locked or unlocked? (I have Heimdall available on a Linux laptop but no windows machine).

I hope to install CM10 or CM13 on my S5. Thanks in advance for any definite information or guidance anyone can provide.

Help with Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock

How do i repair this custom binary blocked FRP lock?

It started when i tried to install the lucky patcher app, i accidentally turned off my OEM debugging(i think) after i rooted my phone. I think it would not be necessary for me to turn it on since i have already rooted my phone. Then after i installed the lucky patcher it say that something about booting the device then the Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock showed up and got stuck in prompt message for samsung s6 edge+

i tried to use the root again my phone but end up stuck agian, which apparently did nothing and might trip the system of my phone. I search tons of solutions on the internet, but mostly is to flash my ROM in odin. I have downloaded the files for the firmware which is 1.8gb, and ofcourse followed the procedure to plug my device and use AP(my firmware that i just downloaded)

and this always shows up:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> G9287CDXS2BPE1_G9287COLB2BPB4_G9287CDXU2BPB4_HOME. tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)


now i dont know what to do, it always fails to flash my device.. im so freaked out :crying::crying:

anyone please help :(

Unable to Disable Reactivation Lock but can Login

I have a SM-G900V currently running stock PB1 unrooted and a locked bootloader. My s5 also has Cid with 15 so I am able to unlock. My end goal is to have mm rooted and unlocked bootloader with custom recovery. ;)

Now the issue,

The Reactivation Locked is enabled/checked in security settings with my account which I am able to log into both from a PC and while doing a full reset using ODIN or from stock recovery. During reset it makes me login to setup my phone and I do and move forward with setting up my phone. If I go into Settings/Security and turn off reactivation it asks me to login so I do. It says I'm logged in but the check is still there. It actually disappears then reappears right away.

I have done a dozen full on wipes/resets of both the internal and external SD card using odin but nothing seems to let me disable reactivation so that I can get to MM rooted and unlocked bootloader.

Anyone got any pointers? :)

Zooper + lock screen

Hi guys~

There is a way to use Zooper on my galaxy s7 edge lock screen? It would be a cool feature.
Think about, a nice and clean wallpaper adding only Zooper widget with fingerprint unlock functionality and the two icons in the bottom. Priceless

Thank you, Sorry for my poor english :)

P9 Lite booting lock

Hi all, i'm new to Android Phones, so i started a few days with this phone. But now i think i've done a big mistake, i tried to erase everything from the phone, in a hope to "restore" to the factory state. Instead, i think i've deleted everything from the phone, and now, it only says "Your device is booting now..." and it doesn't boot. It's unlocked and rooted, i've deleted it from the TWRP menu.

So, is there anything that i can do, to restore it back? The model i think it's the VNS-L31, i'm downloading a firmware from the L21, can it be replaced or something like that? Thankx in advance.

I have a T-mobile Avant that I would like to use my Metro PCS sim card with. The device unlock app does not work, refers me to Tmobile Customer Care. & they do not care, I have not been able to get any help from them. I am not arguing with them anymore. I am rooted, can install any custom roms if needed. Please tell me that I can bypass this somehow before I go crazy. Thank you in advance for any help

Recommendation for a device that can lock on LTE.

Greetings
I have a need- locking device on LTE only.
The need is for testing in my workplace.
I would like to buy a device that I set it to this option easily, without installing ROM, etc.

can you give me a recommendation for a specific device, Specific Model and a Specific Android version?

I came across a number of online forums and posts-
were not conclusive regarding the specific device/ Model/ Android version:

No GPS lock.

I'm running a stock marshmallow com with unlocked BL and root.

My device cannot find my gps location when using navigation. Maps will find my location though it's not always accurate especially when I'm moving.

I've included screenshots of anything I thought relevant but unless it's an antenna issue I'm completely lost. Anyone know anything about this?

Lock TWRP

Hello, I have TWRP on my phone and security is a concern to me, so I'd like to know how to lock the recovery. I know there are some articles online, but I dont trust other sites as much as XDA :) Please point me in the right direction.

Lock mode bug!

I have tested the following problem on several Samsung galaxy phones including J7, J5, A7 2016 edition all running marshmallow 6.0.1. In all of them the following problem persists:
While watching video with screen lock turned on, touching the back button doesn't do anything which is fine as it is not supposed to respond while in locked mode. But the other two buttons which are home button and the right side button for open apps will respond even on screen lock mode. pressing them in locked mode will unlock the locked mode in mx player. touching the recent apps button will open recent apps even in locked mode and pressing the home button in locked mode goes to home. it is in an annoying bug as in locked mode no key should respond. Does anyone else have the same problem? i tested in lollipop and it is fine there. the problem only exists in marshmallow - at least on the above model phones. Any solutions guys, or anyone working on bug fix.? Please respond.
