Reactivation-lock! - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can somebody please help me????? I am stuck with a reactivation lock and none of the bypass methods work. It has 5.1.1 and I've tried downgrading it to everything below 5.1.1, is there anyone that can help me fix this

did you flash the dok2 firmware with odin? If you haven't tried that yet give it a shot. Here's a link to the files http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/mirror-stock-tw-t3260858

Did that, it's also the one I have

If you odin the dok2 firmware it should have reset everything to a factory state, you can't downgrade your bootloader as far as I know.

the reactivation lock is easy to remove from the note 4. I went to the IMEI Gurus webpage and got mines removed. or just type in reactivation lock on ebay and you will see that most people will remove it for twenty bucks ! goodluck.

How to root the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active on the NG3 update

A new update is being released for the S5 Active, since i didn't see a thread on how to root the device... Here it is...
Towel root works on the NE4 build but will not work on the new NG3 update.
So what i did was downgraded with the firmware file found on Sammobile with the NE4 build.
Then used Towel root and installed SuperSU, it said it failed to install Supersu but after a reboot all was well.
Oh this was a AT&T S5 active.
SuperSU worked fine and root was verified!
I haven't posted much before. I would like to give back to the awesome community who has done so much for me!
Hit the thanks button if i helped!
Could really use your help

Trying to use your same method
I am trying to root my phone with Towel root and it won't recognize my phone either. My phone deleted all it's text messages, for some reason, last night and I need to root my phone so I can save some of the messages. Came across your post and figured you can help me. I downloaded the may version of the sm-g870A and odin. Odin won't open. I've never done this before and could use your help. If I can downgrade my firmware, or change it, in a way where Towel root would recognize my phone that would be exactly what I need. Also tried all the Modstrings, did no good. Whatever you could say to help, can hit me up personally and help me, idk if you could do that, but it'd be awesome if you could help me.

NE4 and NG3 are official kernel images...
Downgrade consists of flashing the NE4 kernel image via Odin...then rooting the device....and then flashing the NG3 kernel via Odin which will give you a fully rooted rom that is the latest version...
Knox will NOT trip if you follow the thread instructions...
We are forced to downgrade the kernel to gain root due to the exploit being patched in the latest update...
The root method works perfectly....g
Thank you for your help

Thanks so much u guys, the root was successful

Lol. That is not what I'm asking. what I'm asking for is what firmware do I need to step backwards to kit Kat. I know if I can get it on revision 2 bootloader lollipop, I can downgrade to revision one kit Kat. I did this in the past but I forgot how. Right now I downgraded to 5.0 and I'm trying kingroot and Kingo root. It's not working
Find the latest 4.4.4 Kitkat version and try.

I did. Says fuse binary of 2. That's why I need the lp firmware with the binary of 1. So that I can downgrade to 4.4. Believe me I know what I'm doing, I just can't find the appropriate firmware. I need the boc 5 firmware. But that was an OTA I think

Stock G900a downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop

Searching via cell isn't great for me at the moment. I've found a few threads with lollipop files to use in Odin. But I haven't read anything that says it's simple to flash them and downgrade properly from Marshmallow to Lollipop. Is there a tutorial/file thread already on here that I am missing via search? Is this something I can do without rooting?
Da hell is that chipmunk woman
Sammobile doesn't have the stock 5.1 firmware.. is that an omen against downgrading?
Most of the posts ive read are indicating Marshmallow is not able to be downgraded, bootloader locked.. looks like a dead end
It's a different boot loader, will not be able to downgrade. There is no root option at this time as well.

sorry, but i disagree. i just flashed from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 using odin and firmware found here on XDA. I have no problems with phone so far.
At the time of my post months ago, this was not possible. It is very possible now, I have also done it.

following this guide for rolling back to LP, work for me downgrade from MM and getting root on LP.
Mine didn't... version DPH4, october 1, 2016 security patch, odin gave me an error something like level 4 > 3 and didn't start the reflash process. I was able to reflash the same 6.0.1 and its not the same as what was on there, so maybe the ota updates had a problem? I'm still locked out of downgrading.
Mine also from DPH4 oct 1, 2016. Having issue with lte, i cant receive call but i can make call. So im rollback to COI5 and follow the instruction from page 2. Get odin 3.11.1 to flash BL,AP,etc. Have you try with other usb cable?

i also have the at&t model, but used some info in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196
i used odin to flash full OI5 firmware, minus the bootloader file. Only use the AP, CP, and CSC files. the bootloader is the same. and really, i had already flashed the PA2 build earlier that day i remember now. would probably do that first. flashing the PA2, i used all four files, BL, AP, CP, and CSC . they both flashed the first time, if they dont then try a different cable first. usually that is my issue.
so , i flashed from 6.0.1 down to 5.1.1 pa2, then down to oi5. still have no problems other than getting root..... im focusing on bootloader now, i have unlocked them on htc's before, but havent tried any other phone yet. the work continues tonight.

And what about that error while wipe data factory reset ( unable to mount preload thing any ideas ?
And google account i didn't remove before flashing but i did factory reset before flashing 5.1.1 does that matter ?
I had n910t couple of months ago and i was flashing downgrade without remove Google account.

Oh my bad, you're trying to downgrade. Downgrade not possible for t3. Flash stock 6.0.1, problem resolved.
I am happy with marshmallow but when i was running lollipop the ( unable to mount preload error was not there )
I did flash 3 times 6.0.1 firmware but the error still came up in red letters when i do wipe data factory reset.
Any solution to fix that ?
I'm trying to downgrade my n910t3 phone as OP too. Currently I'm on N910T3UVU3EPJ2, never rooted, never flashed with custom ROM, Knox counter 0x0. Is it true that It's not possible at all to downgrade it?
If so, is it mean that you can still flash the older 6.0.1 MM stock ROM or it is not possible as well?

No, I bought it second, so I don't know which is the last gmail account synced..
Contact the previous owner then.
No answer from him since 2 weeks of emails
Probably stolen then ?
