Well don't expect any help from Apple.
Any Update on making these units usable ?
Hello. The girl bought a phone at the auction, unfortunately, the phone is locked and requires a Samsung ID and password. The guy from whom it bought do not reply to e-mails and do not answer the phone. Is there a way to bypass or delete? The phone is Samsung S6 Edge.

Sounds like the phone was reported stolen to Samsung and they locked out down.
If the phone can get to download mode, maybe Odin the update to wipe it completely. Don't know if this will work.

I did a factory reset with reactivation lock enabled on my s6. Upon set up and after I enter my Google account info, I am now also required to enter my Samsung account ID and PW. I am entering the correct info but get "processing failed" error message. I've tried everything for days now. After calling AT&T without resolution, I called Samsung and am told my only option is to mail them my phone with proof of purchase and a tech will fix it...3-4 week turn around

Have the same problem....Anybody know how to fix... I will pay you..
Hellow, I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S6 I think its Europe version because I bought it in spain.
In march 2020 I had decided to factory resset my phone because I had a lot of junk. To my surprise when the Welcome screen for a setup showed up and I was trying to set it up (I did this probably once a year) a message of "The phone was factory resseted on a anormal way please sign in to your samsung account to unlock the device". Keep in mind here in spain we were in a complete lock down. I did put my email and password it showed 2 messages and noething happned, and I know its not the wrong password because if i did type a random thing it will show "Wrong ID" so I tried contacting samsung but as we were on a lockdown it was imposible, I tried from find my phone (samsung version) and I clickcked on unlock phone (while the phone was connected to the inernet) but noething happned as a last resource I tried flashing a custom rom (I had Samsung Official Rom) but when I go to oddin mode or download mode it shows: Reactivation Lock: ON.
Is there any way to unlock it, my mothers phone is broken and she is in need of one.
I have attached some imagenes.
I hope I can find a fix, because the most anoing thins is that is supposed to be a mecanisim so if the phone gets stolen, but i have been the owner of it for 5 years
Summary Issue: Starting in March 2022, some Samsung Galaxy S20 FE devices started having connectivity issues with carriers. This specifically impacted my phone, a US Cellular-branded phone S20 FE 5G. Specifically, this was a problem for the SM-G781U model number. At some point in March, a samsung update was released that created a bug/connectivity issue affiliated with making calls or connecting to the carrier data networks.
Resolution: This issue can be resolved by flashing stock Samsung Firmware to move you to the SM-G781U1 model number. You do not need to be rooted/have your bootloader unlocked.
Skills needed: low
Note: you will need a Windows computer w. admin privileges
Steps
Download Bifrost to download the official Samsung firmware. Model: SM-G781U1 Version: XAA (this is the carrier-non-specific version)
Download the patched version of Odin
Use Odin to flash SM-G781U1 firmware to the phone. You do not need a bootloader unlock (takes around 15 minutes)
Fixed.
this is the kind of post this forum doesn't have enough of.
Thanks! My parents have been going nuts with this over the weekend. They have an unlocked T-Mo version used on AT&T. My mom took it to a store today and the idiot blamed it on the ROM and tried to sell them new phones.
I'm going to send this to my dad and have them try. I'll report back.
Thanks!
How do you get it in to download mode? I've tried the methods I've found online, but I keep ending up at the recovery screen.
NM got it.
I got it into download mode and sent the files. Log shows two files it sent, then it's just sitting there. It's been almost 15 minutes and nothing's really happening. Did I do something wrong?
Wonder if it's a Windows 11 issue.
Hi I recently purchased a refurbished phone and it won't connect to the mobile data. The first one i had do this I sent back. But now the 2nd won't either. This one says the model # is SM-G781V. Does the instructions you posted work for this model or is there something else I have to do?
Sometimes quick fix is toggle airplane mode on and off. You can reset network settings. Also look up your providers APN settings and be sure you add them in your phone and select that one.

I already tried this but sadly it doesn't fix the problem
I use my S5 for my RC hobby (Traxxas app to power my X-Maxx lights and settings) and I recently did a hard factory reset to get rid of everything else on the phone and speed it up. It reset fine and the wizard lets me setup wifi and then my google account but then it prompts me to sign into my Samsung Account but I can't. I keep getting the error "Processing Failed" (see screenshot below...).
Samsung told me the phone needs to be reflashed so they gave me a Samsung Repair Center near me (Best Buy Geek Squad) but they said they don't have the software to reflash it b/c the S5 is too old. Then Samsung told me I can mail it to them for free and they they will reflash the software but they just emailed me today saying they don't have the software to reflash it.
So now what do I do? I don't want to spend money on another phone since this worked just fine until after the factory reset. I just wanted to use this phone for the Traxxas app and nothing more. I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. Hopefully nothing too complicated but I can follow steps...
P.S. Will I still have issues getting past this Samsung Account login screen if I buy a cheap unlocked S5?

Samsung has a kind of FRP Google-ish protection, someone else signed in the Samsung account without log out correctly previous to factory resetting the device.
What model?

Not sure what you mean with, but my answer still remains, Samsung has this lock to all Samsung devices, not only those models, when the device was reset, without logging out first of the Samsung account, in a reboot, device will prompt for the Samsung ID and the password, of course, if no one has signed in, previously, this measure is not triggered.

Well, maybe, but not that only VZN and AT&T, (or probably you mean from the US branded variants)
Samsung has the Reactivation lock enabled for all devices since various Android versions ago, from what I remember, at least MM.
Also, can depend on the specific build number.

Because ATT and Verizon S5 models have that FRP thingy on by default and they are cloneware models that are not even running stock Samsung Touchwiz as it has been heavily modified to fit their network. I know this because I did a firmware downgrade with my Verizon S5 and that popped up. My Tmobile S5 when I downgraded from 6.0.1 to 5.0 that screen didn't pop up. My N910C running 5.1.1 I did a factory reset from recovery and that screen didn't pop up.

I did a factory reset of my G900T on Kitkat and that didn't pop up. No issues relogging into my Samsung account afterwards.

Which proves my point that the ATT and Verizon models are basically cloneware models since I didn't encounter the device is locked due to a abnormal factory reset . I don't know why you keep insisting that ATT and verizon models are basically stock Samsung firmware phones.

Don't say that I said something that I didn't.
I talked about the Reactivation Lock, present in all Samsung devices, at least, from what I remember, since MM, (And hilariously, you mentioned KitKat), and I'm repeating my words, as you can check.
It doesn't matter if the device is sold to any country, or region, or whatever.
After that, a carrier can put what they want over that firmware, (they have this established in the contract), but the Reactivation Lock feature will be still there.
Improving security is not an election, it's a plus, that Samsung offers. For what reason, carriers couldn't want this feature, till the point of discard it from its devices?
If you didn't know about Reactivation Lock, well, now you know, you will find an impressive amount of information, about it, on the net.

Imo it's only present on the Verizon and AT&T models like I said because Tmobile firmware is close to a G900F model firmware as you can get and I did a factory reset with my Samsung account still present on the device and that did not pop when I logged back into my Samsung account. You apparently still can't grasp the concept that the Verizon and AT&T models are basically cloneware models aka heavily modified do they don't resemble stock Samsung firmware.
