I did a Factory Reset twice when my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 asked me to Confirm Password which is strange to me. I never created a password with it before. Please help.
Do you have CWM installed? Then you can do the factory reset from there and I'm pretty sure it won't ask you for a password.
If you bought the phone, ask for help to Samsung.
Password exist to protect the phone and it's owner.
Developer community are ask too often for help by people with bad intention, sorry if it's legit.
The password that I had to put in was my lock screen's password. Try creating a lock screen password and using that for the password for factory reset.
In normal case it shud not be happen after factory reset.
But if Phone locked with remote control / any antitheft application installed in secure way this cud be happen.
I dont feel comfortable to advise further before legitimation of Owner.(OP have posted 2 times on XDA n both for same Q)
Just DO one Thing, Change your SIM card
Try
5444 or 0000 or 1234

Without losing info? ... I think you could use adb pull command from stock recovery to pull the files you need from your phone to your pc, and then wipe data to remove the pass lock.

ok than, what stock recovery do you recommend me with adb enabled?
I need the phonebook from the phone and the messages.
I don't know the firmware from the phone but I think it's 2.3.6
Oooo damn, contacts? I dunno where the contacts are stored in the phone really, but I'll try to find out and get back to you.

Wait a sec... are you rooted?
Let me be a little more clear: thee phone I received it with locked pattern unlock (is asking for google account to unlock it) and I need the dat from the phone like is contacts messages etc; the phone I think it's with 2.3.6 android version and surelly is not root-ed.
The phone connects to the pc only in MTP mode.

So the phone isn't rooted...
If you just received the phone, how come you got your contacts in there in the first place... Anyway, you can try to use the adb command
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db ./
with the ./ in the end
Send me a PM in our language with your problem. Maybe I understand better what are you talking about.
In the phone is not my phonebook; I just need to save the informations from that phone wich has a blocked pattern and ask for google account to unlock it.

Hi to everyone. I have a Samsung Tab S2 SM-T810 with Android 5.1.1 / Kernel 3.10.9 that has retail mode on, it was a demo in a store. Is there anyway to remove this from the device? I already try doing a factory reset with stock firmware and odin and it stills the same. I think it has some kind of software installed on the ROM memory that prevents it to fully restore and wipe the retail mode app. Thanks in advance.
Please do a search this has been covered plenty of times already. There is no need to repeat over.

It's simple, make sure OEM unlock is enabled in developer settings, Install twrp, factory reset with twrp, boot to download then flash stock Firmware.
Done.

I wouldn't be asking for help if it were that easy. I tried doing that too. All the option in the developer settings tab are gray. I can't change them. The retail app is blocking it.
Any other idea ?

Just go ahead and install twrp and continue with the previous instructions. If you get the FRP block, just flash the stock Firmware.
Also if you carry on with the attitude you're on your own.

Excuse me, I didn't mean to offend. I'll try to install twrp right now.
As I expected while I was trying to install twrp it always return an error on Odin so I gave up, then after a couple of hours the table ran out of battery and since it was the first time it went off without the retail app monitoring. I decide to boot it into download mode. and that's it.
After that the twrp finally got installed and I erased everything on the tab. after that that it got stuck on the samsung logo. And I could install the stock firmware with no problem.
All thanks to you.
Ok so ive got the Sm-810 and i was experiencing the same issue of it not letting odin flash to stock OR install twrp etc. etc. and i was going to give up and i **** you not i was trying to get into the recovery to see if i could jostle some solution loose and it fixed itself !! It was booted into download mode and i unplugged the cable and pressed and held power+vol down and as soon as the screen went black i did the same thing again and then i mustve messed up cuz it booted into the os but i repeated the process from there and no kidding after 2 or 3 cycles of power+vol down i got a blue screen with an android on it and it flashed and showed a dead android with the caution! sign and the next screen showed the regular android with the word "erasing" underneath and vio'la no more retail mode. After this Odin worked and let me autoroot and so on an so forth. sorry for my long post i just though i should share
I think the major issue is that OEM is disabled and there is no way to turn it on. So most of the solutions are a no go... So any other suggestions on make this work?

Hi huntejes,
I've a SM-T650NU unit and have the same issue you faced on the Odin step (of course I'm using the specific TWRP file for my unit) just want to know what error showed up. In my case it returned: FAIL! (Auth).
Will let the battery fully drain and after that repeat the TWRP flash. Do you remember (step by step) what you did after the battery drained? I mean charged to 30% then put on download mode? Any feedback will be appreciated.

My husband and I also ran into the problem of having our Samsung Tablet E nook 2017 model stuck on Retail Mode.. we tried EVERYTHING we could possibly think of after the 5444 password didn't work. We rooted, we downloaded "easy uninstalled" apps, did the hard reset with the 3 button deal.. nothing! Then we finally came across a few passwords we were willing to give a try.. so when you go to the retail mode bar and it prompts you for a password to uninstall try blue. The word BLUE but in lowercase.. and it worked! We were then given tons of options and finally got that crap off our paid for device. I'm 100% sure that any device purchased from Best Buy and stuck in retail mode will use the password blue. A few other passwords we came across that might be worth a shot if blue doesn't work are: galaxy and unlimited. (Each by themselves as one password) Well good luck, we know how frustrating this has been!!

Dude, I have a SM-t560nu and I feel your pain. For months I was trying to find a solution and had to deal with obnoxious fools who couldn't get it thru there heads that this was NOT the usual Samsung Retail Mode but a special piece of software that puts the tablet into a rolling cycle of 2-10 minutes, shuts off all developer options, locks frp and basically makes anything you do null and void. I tried every password Imaginable including "BLUE," "5444" and the oft repeated "M729Q16K8546" all to no avail.
Here's the deal: this IS unique software and you'll find it at retailsamsung.com. (I can't post the actual url because of the new user rules, which is kind of funny because I've been a member for about 10 years but I don't think I've ever posted anything.)
Go there, search your device and download 2 items: One will be your installation package (for instance "Samsung_Retailmode_Global_Common _141006.apk") and the other will be called "RetailMedia.main." Download both to na sd card, put the sd card in your device, move the programs from the sd card to the download area ON the device. Now start your device, got to the download area and tap on the first program, the apk. Enter 5444 as your password, follow the instructions. the second password will be "M729Q16K8546." This will remove the Retailmode software and most likely trigger a Samsung lock. Go to Sammobile, download the original firmware and congrats, your new tablet is finally working right.
I was wary of downloading software from such a plain site, especially one I've never heard of but I figured after 6 months of no luck and my new tablet just sitting in a drawer, unusable, what did I have to lose? Well, it works, i'ts awesome and it's like new.
Hope this helps.
Mfb5159, You Are Awesome! A friend entrusted me to remove the Retail Mode from her Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7. I tried Everything. The passwords that can be found everywhere online, circumventing the FVP (of course that was useless), downloaded & installed the firmware with Odin in download mode... nothing. Then I ran across this forum. Tried two versions of retail mode from RetailSamsung.com and the second one worked. I had to open the retail app I installed, enter the generic passwords (5444 & the M729Q16K8546), then it gave me the option to factory reset the device. I chose yes & it worked! No sign of Retail Mode on the tablet. It's like a brand new tablet!! The .apk file that worked for me was SamsungRetailMode_GlobalCommon_141006
Thank you So Much for your help.
I hope I'm not posting on a dead thread. I saw a good deal on a T813 in retail mode (will provide link if needed, it's on a very popular and legal south american online store). The thing is, as explained by the vendor, someone attempted to remove the retail app and now is stuck on a countdown in the lock screen. After some time it reboots itself. I've been reading a lot about the topic and the main problem seems to be the OEM unlock off. Now apparently I won't be able to access any feature of the device at all. I thought maybe I could reinstall the retail mode and get back the app or just boldly odin flash twrp and a stock rom risking myself to an FRP lock.
However I thought better ask advice first, so what do you think? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Well, I bought it and first day has been no success. I can access guest user, could log in to my ggl account and downloaded some apps. OEM, third party apps and developers are out of reach and cannot access main account. No sign of retail app.
Flashed new stock rom, FRP asks for a password, tryed 5444 Mz$%"#$%& blue galaxy unlimited with no luck. Attempts to flash twrp via odin fail due qst (?) error. I guess because is OEM locked. Flashed some older rom and still a countdown that doesn't let me in in main account.
So far, this is my progress with it. Any advice to flash twrp, remove frp lock and/or remove retail mode? Thanks in advance

Did the same, although I had to use the older ap_SamsungRetailMode_Global_Tab_A_L_v1.0.4_15031100_M15031100_P0.apk with my SM-T550 (Galaxy Tab A (2016) 9.7") - I also had to stop the existing RetailMode Service from running by opening applications, swipe across to Running Applications, and tap on the Retail Mode executables to disable the "Sta" service. Annoyingly if you accidentally get the password wrong then it'll reset itself and delete the newer APK and you have to start the whole process over again
Could anyone at least point me in the right direction please? I can't access the main user of the tablet because there's a lock on the screen saying "Try again in 1440 minutes" which is a day. It self reboots every 5 minutes and each time the 1440 minutes thing resets. I booted in safe mode, now it doesn't reset and countdown is set for the next 4 hours.
Please, any light on the matter will be great. I have 4 days to return and I wouldn't like to do it cause it was extremely cheap unless, but I don't want to end with an expensive brick either.
Huntejes,
I had the same experience as you with my SM T810. The particular version of the Samsung Retail app (com.samsung.sta.retailagent.lite 6.9.20161101) installed on my unit didn't have a 'configuration settings' option; instead an option called 'Store Settings' prompted a password entry - but admin passwords 5444, blue, galaxy, unlimited all failed.
So then I went the Odin/flash stock firmware route. Unfortunately, despite two rounds of that, the Retail Mode application and restrictions remained. However, what did arise from this seemingly pointless process was the ability to enable installation of third party apps under Settings - all other admin access and functions (i.e. factory reset, program uninstallation, etc.) remained under the restricted control of Retail Mode. I went through that process about a year ago, assuming I had failed - the restrictions remained, and I was out of ideas/options.
Two days ago, I decided to revisit the problem, having to reeducate/remember what I had done previously along the way. Eventually, I came up with a novel workaround that hadn't occurred to me before - side-loading an apk file containing a different version of the Retail Mode software. Ironically, this worked. After installing and running the alternative Retail Mode app, using admin password 'blue' I was able to uninstall the original (i.e. problem) Retail Mode app, enable factory restore, and execute a complete wipe, which was successful.
I know this thread has been silent for a while, but it was one of only two threads that I thought took the larger conversation beyond the first basic step and I thought that contributing to it would be a small way to express my thanks.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
I have a galaxy tab and sm-t561, which presents the problem of retail mode that you can not remove in any way even with odin, I wanted to ask, how do I install a version of retail mode via apk? I downloaded the new version of retail mode but how do I install it?

i just follow your instructions and awesome mine is unlock now and downloading the update to android 7.0 thanks bro
Hello All
I made a huge error. I purchased the SM-N960F/DS specifically so I could root it. The root process went great, it was rather easy. However, I came to realize that my SIM card was no longer being recognized. I had full use of the phone prior to rooting. So, I figured that the root was the issue. To make a long story short I kicked on the OEM lock again and restarted the phone. And now all it says is Custom binary block by OEM lock. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Flash stock firmware and then wait 7 days for OEM unlock toggle to appear again. That should get you back to normal. If the sim wasn't working then maybe your apn needs to be adjusted.
