Anyone know how to enable this ?
I already have a Samsung Link Account, and a Samsung Account (They are different because after I finished opening an account for Samsung Link, it asked me to create another Samsung Account using a different email).
But there is no way I can see the option to turn Reactivation Lock on.
Anyone know how?
I think it is a good feature to have because even though someone gets your phone, they literally cannot do anything since if the phone will ask them to log into your samsung account if that person wants to do a factory reset.
Even though they can get into recovery mode to do a factory reset there, but after it boots, it again will ask them to log into your samsung account in order to use the phone.

Hi I'm needing help bypassing the activation lock on my brothers phone he bought it off eBay and when he got it he reformatted it (activation lock was not on in settings) but when he tried to go through the set up it asked for him to log in to the Samsung account (witch there wasn't one logged in when he formated it) now he's locked out of his phone and I can't work out any way of getting around it my self I have checked the imei number and the phone hasn't been reported as stolen
He has contacted both the eBay seller and Samsung but neither have been of any help it was running android 5.1.1
Make a Samsung account and log into it when the phone prompts for it.

Hi, I have had the same issue as you. Basically if you have ever activated Samsung reactivation lock, you are screwed since the QC9 update wont let you past the google screen and if you go back to marshmallow it keeps saying activation failed. Your only option is to send it into Samsung and they will "unlock" the phone for you. I sent mine in and got it back two weeks later, unlocked.
Edit: my phone was out of warranty but they still took it in because its an issue with samsung reactivation lock, if the customer service rep gives you trouble, let him know that this is covered out of warranty.
Hope this helps!
thanks for this, I will try to send it to samsung service center in our area.

For me, the QC9 Setup Wizard screen kept bouncing me right back to the "Name Your Device" page, after "Checking for Updates..." It wouldn't let me past it. But it turns out it was just a case of logging into my Lookout account that I had forgotten all about: https://my.lookout.com/user/login and unlocking my phone using the directions here: https://personal.support.lookout.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000036533-How-do-I-unlock-my-device-
It had nothing to do with my Samsung account. Learned my lesson not to bother with Lookout, and disabled it as soon as I got to my home screen, lol.
Hope this helps someone.
Hello,
i've got a SM-N950X Demo Unit that i bought to use it as a small tablet at home. I've flashed SM-N950F without a Problem, it runs fine. I had used my Samsung account to download a font from the Galaxy store. everything was fine. So today i wanted to use bixby and it wanted me to log into my Samsung account, but everytime i try it, it says "processing failed". But i know for 100% sure the Password is correct, because i can log in on my S9 without a Problem. Also, if i Input a wrong Password it will say "wrong Password" and not "processing failed". So i tried to create another account from the phone. it worked, but i could not enter the Samsung account Settings anymore, it Always goes back after 0,5 seconds. So i changed the Password of my new account and now i am again stucked at "processing failed". I cant factory reset too, because he wont take my Samsung account, Always "processing failed".
I can still use the phone but cant use Samsung account functions. I fear of a recovery factory reset because of FRP lock? Or Samsung Lock? Are they the same?
OEM Lock and FRP Lock in Download-Mode are turned off, i am save to reflash or will i get permanently locked out because of Samsung account lock?
Phone is completely stock, no root, no knox triggered.
Thanks a lot!
If you purchased it at a store you should go there and request help. As far as I know owners of "Demo" units issues are rarely or never helped in XDA because of the probabilities of it being a stolen device ( not saying that's the case...)

Ok, i purchased it from a private Person on eBay, so i dont think i can get help from him.
thanks anyway.
Hello,
Following a crash, I had to do a factory reset in the recovery of my note 8.
Of course, at boot, he asks me the Google account ID. Sadly, I do not have them anymore (email address deleted since). I tried my old ID: it does not work ...
Will a flash of rom stock via odin reset the frp? Or should it go before by an "adb frp tool", then flash a "combination firmware", before reflash the rom stock?
I have already tried all methods of bypass frp before 10/10/18 (sms class 0, bluetooth headset, samsung keyboard settings...)
(I am in N950FXXS5CRJ1 of 01/10/18, oreo 8.0). I'm french.
With proof of purchase, your carrier or samsung service will help you, that's it, WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE

You know when people come in here talking about needing to get the FRP security lock off and then going on to say their gmail account is magically gone or deleted it automatically makes us think the phone is stolen!! People don't just randomly delete their gmail account nor do they forget their password so easily! If it truly is your phone take it to the carrier I.E. "at&t, Verizon etc etc." Because they will be able to easily recover the phone for you quickly!!

Personally I don't buy it.
If you deleted your Google account, you would have been signed out across the board, you need to be signed in to a Google account for FRP to be enabled...
If you are a thief or a 'finders keepers' you will agree FRP is a great feature. Must suck holding this great phone and not be able to use it.

Personally I think it's stolen just by the way he worded that and saying that the gmail account was deleted isn't sitting with me right because then the phone would literally nag the crap out of him saying stuff like the play store can't work, gmail can't work and most importantly as you said FRP can't work without the email.. I'm betting it's stolen.
One time, I went to my carrier service center to activate volte calls, while I was waiting for my turn, an old lady ahead of me explained to the employee her case, that her device was locked, that she had no idea what email or anything else, as her grandson was the one that took care af all those things, she only used the phone to make calls an send sms, the employee said that it was ok, all she needed to do was to provide a proof of purchase, or the contract, and an ID, that was it, she did, and problem quickly solved, so, anybody asking for some way to bypass frp, is obviously trying to unlock an illegal obtained device, period.

That's why I don't even try to help someone who comes along claiming that they magically forgot/lost their gmail account and password information. When he said he deleted the gmail account a while back the first thing that came to my mind was well without a gmail account you can't exactly do much with the phone because everything is going to be nagging you, Google, Play Store, Gmail, Google Services, maps and many other things and FRP can't lock without the gmail account so how could you possibly get FRP locked out.. You could by lying and stealing a phone and claiming it's yours..
Yeah, absolutely right
I certainly understand the views on going to a service center. But no. Not everyone with this problem is trying to cheat with a stolen phone. I just bought a very nice Note 8 (SM-N950U1) for $200 off eBay (from an individual with a 100% record) only to find it is FRP locked and I doubt she knew. Just did a factory reset and sell. So now I have to pay $50 at a service center and with the drive, it will take me about two hours. So some of us do have a legitimate reason to want to do a FRP unlock ourselves. Hopefully, the seller will rebate me the $50 so I don't have to send it back and start my long search for this model, in this condition for what i can afford all over again. Just say'in. Well glad I have XDA forums to let me know my position. - So thanks - Jim
