I Got a tmobile note 4 from craiglist, Now the phone is asking me for Samsung Account Activation? is there any way i can bypass this? please, any help will be so much appreciate it.
thanks
When do you see this? Are you able to wipe it in recovery?
I would contact the person that sold it to you, they basically locked it where if it resets, you need their samsung information to unlock the device. Don't think reformatting will do anything, but you can try to reformat via Kies

I did a factory wipe recovery with the buttons pressing combination, however it still ask for the samsung account, and I can't contact the selle.
Thanks
If you can't contact the seller & they sold you a locked phone, maybe try filling a police report. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that considered fraud?
If it's just the reactivation lock though, there's a way around that.

Have you rooted the device. You should be able to wipe the Internal storage. I'd try flashing a CM based ROM.
The device should be usable still. The use probably had reactivation lock turned on that's why the Samsung account has it locked down. Also the phone itself may be stolen. You may want to check the imei if you can view it to see if it had been blacklisted.

my dude, relax, i'm not sure this would work but i see no reason why not since it completely reflashes the phone's firmware
I'm mobile at the moment and maybe someone else can link you
But you need Odin and the full tar files of the latest firmware (Cog2?) and a windows machine.
Once you have those we can walk you through the process.

You will get the KNOX bootloader if you flash this.
YOU CANNOT UNDO THIS, ITS PERMANENT. FLASHING ANYTHING UNOFFICIAL AFTER FLASHING THIS TAR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY​
Just the NG2 FULL stock tar.
Do NOT rename the tar file. Even though it may be convenient to do so, Odin may fail the md5 check for no reason.
(L720VPUFNG2_L720SPTFNG2_L720VPUFNG2_HOME.tar.md5)
This is NOT ROOTED. Its the original TAR file for people who need an Emergency Recovery for their phones, and dont want to wait hours for it to download from slow file hosts.
Mediafire
Instructions:
1. Download and Extract tar above and download Odin
2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)
3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)
4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot
5. Start flashing
6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while
7. Profit

You will need to re-root the phone after installing this file! Then you will be able to install a custom recovery..
Thanks for putting this on a speedy host. I just downloaded it tonight in under half an hour at my daughter's house, and she doesn't have a particularly fast internet connection.
A quick question - does this file leave your programs intact? Sometimes I like a total wipe (except for my SD card), and start fresh.
Thanks again

Now I have another problem. I am no longer with sprint and my phone is unlocked from sprint. I have been using the GOLDENEYE rom on Walmart Family Mobile and all was warning well except for sometimes not connecting calls so I thought i go back to stock with this rom. Problem now is I can make calls with the Walmart sim card, put in the APN settings but i am unable to remove the Hands Free Activation nagging.. Is there anyway to make it go away?

Have you tried to pull down the notification bar with two fingers > long press on Hands Free icon to see if something is turned on to make it show up on notification bar? If turned on, shut it off. Hopefully it is that simple. If not that simple, I have no clue how to make it stop. Maybe someone else does.
I haven't heard of anyone having that problem.
Yeah, I tried everything, it's part of the rom I think, nothing worked to make it go away..
I just went back to goldeneye rom, all working perfect again. Thanks.

Nope. it doesn't wipe data unless stated by the OP that it does. It only restores any apps deleted, or reverses any mods made. Example if you are running Aosp and Odin back to stock. You will get bootloop. After Odin always go to stock recovery and do a factory reset to have a clean install.

Wifi didn't work for me on this rom, coming from a custom mf9 rom. So I odin mf9 bootloader package, and then flashed stock mf9 odexed rooted rom, then odin the mf9 kernel. And did NG2 upgrade through Kies. Now Wi-Fi finally works for me but it's impossible to root. But at least now I got everything working, when I get off of work I can flash the OP version of NG2 cuz at least I could root that 1.
I flashed 5.1.1 using via odin 3.10 (no errors etc.) now my phone stuck at Powered by Android screen. I tried to reflash the firmware many times but still the same thing.
Before flashing 5.1.1 my phone was running Looper firmware. I did modify the build.prop (ro.securitystorage = false). Does this cause the issue?
When i get into recovery mode i see this yellow text
"dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first..."
Please help me to revive this phone. Thank you

If you get stuck in a boot loop go into recovery and do a factory reset!
Follow these instructions :
1. press: power/home/vol up keys at the same time.
2. Use vol up/down to get to factory reset
2. press pwr button to select
3. maneuver to erase user data, select using pwr button
4. maneuver to erase cache partition,select using pwr button.
4. Reboot
I did all those steps many times and reflashed the rom like 10 times.. Still the same thing

restore your efs back up (original one) then reflash the rom via odin. If you don't have your original back up then you're out of luck

I found that you can use kingroot to root the factory test firmware for the SM-S903VL
This is the only root method I know and I belive it is the first for the SM-S903VL
The factory firmware has drawbacks, no text calling or downloads or play store.
If anyone can find a way to make this better and actually be able to use the play store phone and texting let us know.

I used Flashify to flash a custom recovery image, TWRP. It worked but the device wouldn't boot into the recovery image or even back into the operating system anymore. It went straight to a page telling me to take my phone to Verizon store so Verizon could fix my phone. I tripped something.
I just opened Odin and reflashed 4.4.2 and kept messing around, that fixed my phone.

I'm sorry i do answer that late. I have so many notifications everyday that i missed some sometimes.. Did you try different ODIN , firmware, try re-download and try again.
Here are more ODIN versions. https://thedroidguru.com/download-latest-odin-odin3-all-versions-full-collection/ Try to reinstall Samsung USB drivers from here : http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/galaxy-s8-plus-at-t#downloads
Hi,
Thank you for posting the firmware. Downloading as I write this post.
I have the S7 Edge SM-G935A for AT&T. Ever since I did the Nougat update, it seems that my phone has slowed down considerably since then. It boots slow. I'm getting a lot of lag and stutter upon booting up my phone and it just doesn't perform the same as it has when I got it a year ago. A family member of mine has the same phone but doesn't have the issues I'm having. I have a SD card in my phone and they don't but there's no difference in performance if I take the SD card out or not. I've done multiple factory resets and setting it back up as new with no data. But the same issue happens. Even in safe mode it seems to have same issues.
Compared my phone to a friend's Note 5 and the Note 5 beat my phone in terms of performance. It starts up faster and just feels more quicker then mine.
Since this is 100% AT&T stock firmware, this won't void the Knox warranty at all since I am not rooting?
Also, my phone right now is on the August 1st security patch. After flashing this, I will then be able to update my phone back to the latest security patch?

Thank you for your answer to my questions. I always get worried of doing something wrong when trying to flash the firmware.
Is it required that I use all the files with Odin to flash the firmware? Or can I just use the AP file since I've never rooted before? Also, I've read online about having to enable OEM unlock and USB Debugging when flashing. Do I need those enabled or can Ieave them off since I'm not trying to root?
Thank you!

I dont know if im the best person to offer a possible solution, but i do have a thought. I remember back on the Nexus 6, it didnt come with any carrier bloat, BUT, if when you powered it on the first time, if your SIM was in the phone, it automatically installed all the carrier bloat. Obviously, that was a different phone and manufacturer, but it might be worth a shot?

I took the sim out before I even turned the phone on. I bought it in full thru Verizon but since the phone I unlocked i'm using it with cricket. I just wanna get rid of all the Verizon stuff. The loading screen that comes on when u turn ur phone on and off and all the other bloatware.

Did you use home csc or CSC. CSC will wipe to factory, home will preserve the data.

I used CSC since it said it would wipe it. After my phone reset and I got the green pass in Odin, everything was still there the only difference was a US Celluar app but everything Verizon was still there.

And you had the BL ap CP and the CSC (Not home_CSC) all there? I just did it on my phone and it was reset to completely factory no issues.

Yep!!! Everything was put in correctly. I even got the green pass in Odin. The bloatware is just still there. That's what I wanna get rid of. After the reset I even had to go thru setting up the phone again but everything Verizon was still there. I'm using cricket so that sim card is in the phone. Is it because my phone is Sm-N960U and not SM-N960U1?

Did you by chance try it without the sim card installed? I took the other person's advice and took the sim card out. I setup the phone and then put the sim card back in.

And you used the same files posted to this thread and the odin that was posted as well? Otherwise I don't know why it didn't flash it correctly.

Obviously it DID NOT flash the FW properly. You would not have any bloatware if it did. Try it again.
