Disable developer options and try again. That worked for me.
Press and hold for a few seconds then release. Might take several tries. Took me several attempts before unlocking it on my N7.

Reactivation Lock Bypass (Samsung Account)

Hi everybody, I don't know if this will help all you but this is what worked for me (Android 6.0.1):
1. On the setup wizard (after factory wipe), connect to internet (wifi/data)
2. Select "Emergency call"
3. Call to any valid number (112 for example)
4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works).
5. Select browser.
6. Go to google.
7. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8
8. Download it and install it.
9. Open it and search for "Samsung account".
10. Click on Clear Data and then Disable.
11. Go back to google and search for QuickShortMaker
12. Install it and open it.
13. Search for "Setup Wizard", it will expand.
14. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity"
15. Done! You can now use the phone and restart.
Ok after this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (Settings>Accounts), buuuuut, you can't add it . What I did was:
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and enabled "Samsung Account".
2. Then go to Settings>Back up and reset
3. Factory data reset
4. Asked for Samsung account and I inserted my real account.
5. Done, now I can sync with my account.
The oooooooonly issue that I can't figure out it's the way to remove the "Reactivation lock" from Settings>Lock screen and security>Find my mobile.
Well that's all hope it works for you guys.
If this doesn't work for you, you can check out unlockjunky, they will definitely be able to do it.
Good luck!!

112
What ever you do, absolutely do not dial for example ( 112 )
Turns out 112 will connect you to your local emergency dispatch.....
Ask me how I know...
please change your number in the above post for newbies who may be trying to learn and have no clue what these phones are capable of...

Mate, you are an absolute legend! I've been searching for 8hrs looking for a solution after hard resetting my phone and being unable to get past the Samsung Account lock afterwards (even though I had the right username & password!) About fifty useless/outdated YT videos & a few hundred websites/forums later - none of which were helpful, I finally stumbled across your post, despite it not showing up 8hrs ago when I came straight to XDA hoping to find a solution first.
I have an improved method for #2, 3 & 4 of your post and will add all relevant info soon (just need some kip now that the panic is over). I'll also expand a little on some details and include further options which worked in my particular case, but all n'all - you're an absolute legend mate and I'd be screwed & still panicking without your shared info. Huge thanks...

You have to dial an emergency number or this trick doesn't work. Its not practical for most folks but if you are worried about dialing an emergency number I'd recommend using a SIM out of a tablet that isn't phone number enabled.

Look for Aptoide apk download it to sd card and search for package disabler in this app and install it or download and copy Pachkage disabler you your sd card and run via file explorer or download and run ES File manager as I did.
when i make the call my wifi gets turned off and wont come back on till i restart the phone. i managed to open the browser but the wifi is off so i cant do anything after that except cry.
stock 5.0
Did you get it figured out I got the edge 6 plus to work fine now it was one of the tougher ones and I've done a few on some newer models what are you stuck on?
I thought the Combination Firmware would reset the FRP lock by default after being installed.
first thank you for sharing ur experience and i want to add
that i done it step by step and it works nicely but still cant remove the reactivation
and here is how iv done it after i bypassed it using ur method
i flashed a lower modem file from stock rom N910VVRU2BOG5 which is 5.0.1
at this point my imei went off
so i went for full flash by N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME. which is 5.1.1 and did full hard reset
then i just signed in with the last Samsung account i used with ur method earlier and it passed so now i can easly remove reactivation mark , unlock and root then make it Arabic .
thx again
Did you ever post up the suggested steps to replace #'s 2-4 in the original post above? I'm not seeing them anyplace. This would be a big help. Thanks.
When I call I can't swipe to the right is there another way to open browers
I successfully used this to gain access to my phone but I believe that if I power cycle it I will be locked out again. Is there any way to remove or change the samsung account now that I am in? The options are greyed out in settings.
ADB and Root.
Hey, I have been working on these for a while keep finding new things each time I try to remove Reactivation Lock. However I was wondering if I show you guys how to enable ADB with RSA Key, and Root the device. Could someone show me how to remove the Reactivation Lock using root. I used other methods on older and newer models, but these S5's are the only ones giving me issues.
After weeks of going mad trying different solutions I've found online, here's what worked 100% for me just last night:
Login to Samsung Account on other device, select Password & Security, enter password then choose Devices. LOG-OUT of your S6 Edge if listed, confirm. Next change password - doesn't matter what, can even change it back afterwards.
Flash Lollipop (I used G925VVRU4BOK7)
Wipe Data/Cache
Boot fresh Stock firmware, enter/confirm network details, at Reactivation Lock prompt, enter user & updated password. Sign-in....
Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Find My Mobile. Unselect Reactivation Lock and enter password... voila!
Works for anybody else??

OEM Toggle is shown but can't be toggled; phone unable to go into download mode.

Hello XDA, I hope that you could help me troubleshoot my Note 8 (N950F).
So it's been 7 days and oem unlock toggle has finally appeared.. The only issue is it is greyed out and unselectable.
When I got this device I wasn't able to see developer options by pressing build number (though I got the notification that it was enabled), I was only able to access the setting by downloading an app short cut for it via the play store and on initial launch it said developer options are disabled. But then second launch it worked. Idk if this is significant but maybe the country this is meant for disabled it? Regardless of the sim card being in/out the phone, it is still greyed out. Also, I was able to factory reset the phone through the settings after downloading an OTA (I did this in hopes of developer options being enabled about a week ago.)
I tried to boot into download mode but it seems I can't boot into it (following the steps only lead to a normal reboot, and when I select that option from the stock recovery or through adb, it only boots the phone up normally. I purchased the phone off of swappa, in brand new/like new condition. Any ideas? Thank you for your help.
Edit: added screenshots.

Exactly. That's why I'm so concerned.
Have you logout your Samsung Account and Google account?sorry for my poor English.:crying:
Do you use any of the KNOX stuff? Did you do any factory reset?
Can you "clear data" on "settings" app? this would make the "developer option" menu hidden again. Then re-show it by tapping build number numerous time again. Hoping that OEM is now editable.
Hi, could you solve this problem? My Note 8 has the same problem and I have not found any solution :llorando:.
I would appreciate it if you can help me.

Factory reset is not enough. Recommended is clean install, wipe at least system, cache and dalvik, then flash previous ROM. If it still doesn't work, flash KDZ.

First of all, thank you.
With "factory reset" I mean I made the following:
Code:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. choose wipe
3. choose advanced wipe
4. select: Dalvik/ART Cache
System
Data
Internal Storage
Cache
5. swipe to wipe
6. flash previous ROM
So it doesn't work. How can I flash KDZ?
The same way like LIneageOS?

Hey there. Your flashlight is not broken. Trying adding the widget to your lock screen. Or if you want to test type this in your dialer 3845#*405# and a hidden menu will appear from where you can test the features of your device. But if you reboot your phone they reset. I hope this helps you.

Hi there.
You're right.
I've flashed the new LineagoOS nightly and the Flaslight turns on for about 1 or 2 seconds and then turn out.
This happens every time i've tested it.
The code 3845#*405# doesn't work.
I see a message saying "USSD code running". That quickly disappears and then nothings happens.
It seems that I can't add the flashlight widget to lock screen.
any suggestions how I get the flashlight work?

Hey there the code won't work in custom roms. It is only for stock roms.It opens hidden menu. Custom ROMs take the advantage of your phone while it mat offer you a faster phone.Please revert back to stock ROM. Ik stock ROMs are slow.But it is much better to stay with stock ROMs with root and custom recovery and xposed.Check flash light once you flash stock recovery.
Hope this helps ?
First of all: Thanks a lot.

What means xposed? Some kind of app?
I've flashed D40520a_00.kdz ago but Flashlight also didn't work.
It "works" since I've flashed ne nightly...
If I flashed the stock rom all Preferences would be reset, right?
So why did flashlight not worked if I installed D40520a_00.kdz?

Hey take a backup of your internal storage.Then in Lg flash tool do a csc flash.Flash correct kdz file.
Try some Google play apps for turning on flashlight
OK. I try it once again.
I usethis guide to flash KDZ. Is it OK?
What is a CSC flash?
Is it an other choose for "3GQCT"?
Hi there.
I think you mean CSE Flash?
I flashed my phone descripted in this Guide.
Type: CDMA
Phonemode: Diag
KDZ: D40520a_00.kdz
Upgrade with CSMG Client: CSE Flash
After the first setup wizzard I get a software update. Now the software version is: v20b-EUR-XX
Android-version: 5.0.2
Kernel-Version: 3.4.0+
Where in the hidden menu 3845#*405# can I found a entry to test the flashlight?
( No apps for turning on flashlight works )

With the stockrom I have no Torchlight symbol in quick settings (when you move from the top to the bottom where you can activate wlan, bluetooth etc.)
I add a torchlight widget to the homescreen. It turns on for about 2 seconds then turns off if I activate it.
The SOS-function works. Lollipop or KitKat stock. always the same result.
Is it possible to flash the complete smartphone.
It seems like there's a progamming block or some kind of settings that's wrong and that won't reseted with stockrom flash.
Download flashlight from playstore and test
it is always the same with every app.
The LED works for about 1 second than turns off.
Flickering works at all.
Try contacting lg service centre for a possible fix.Try flashing a bootstack or a custom kernel.I know they are not related to flash light but still trying is not bad at all.

Question Help! Whatsapp bug on Redmi note 10 pro

Good day. Please I need assistance.
I have an issue while using Whatsapp on Redmi note 10 pro (128GB/8GB). When ever I type a message, it doesn't get delivered. That is, the clock sign is there. No single or double check . Whenever I exist the app then open again, the message will deliver.
Every other thing is running smoothly, status are coming in, and no lag. But whenever I send a message it doesn't get delivered until I exist nd open the app again. If I type another message, it doesn't send untill I exit and open the app again. Sometimes Whatsapp will function normally and then randomly this problem kicks in.
Whatsapp version: lastest as the time of this Post.
Android version: 12
Miui: 13.0.8 (stable)
Please help me
how long you are facing this problem?
1. may be network error...
2. if you have new update in playstore try updating and try...
3. clear cache and app data (clears all your files) and try again
4. or uninstall and reinstall whatsapp and try again...

Thank you so much for your response.
I've been facing this problem ever since I bought the device on July 18th, 2022.
I'm using 4G, network is stable.
I've updated to the lastest version of Whatsapp .
I also cleared app data, but yet the problem still persist
See if it also happens with Wifi. It could be MIUI power saving enabled in settings. Make sure you have no power saving applied under whatsapp in apps.
fine.. i dont find any exact problem.... i hav few questions...
1. Hav you tried using wifi connection...? still the same?
2. what about "restrict data usage" and "baground data" status?
3. hav u try uninstalling app?
4. Try changing ur keyboard app (i know its not related to this. But , i m asking u to try once)
5. what about other Messengers (like telegram) status?
i dont this is a big issue... but
(if nothing is works , may be try flashing again- no other way...)
Flashing means - factory reset(wipe data) from recovery (if you are in stock rom with locked bootloader)
Uninstall Whatsapp, Restrart the phone reinstall whatsapp again. Might work. ...

Thank you for your assistance. Sorry for giving a feedback this late cause it took some time to follow the tips you shared.
1. I tried using WiFi. It didn't work. Other messengers like telegram and Instagram works normal in sending messages even on 4G mobile data.
2. Whatsapp isn't on restricted Data and it's allowed to use data on background.
3. I've uninstalled the app in the past before coming here for help and it didn't work. Even when I updated The app few days ago, it still didn't work.
4. I changed keyboard to swift keyboard from play store. It still didn't work.
I've also factory reset the phone in the past before coming here for assistance. It still didn't work.
I use two Whatsapp. Kindly Checkout the screenshot from main Whatsapp which gets 500 views on status. The messages doesn't get delivered. Check out the second Whatsapp which sends messages freely.
I feel like my phone is cursed.

I disabled every possible setting that could be the cause under MIUI but the problem continues. I allowed all permission and allowed background data. But no good result
I think you use a whatsapp modded right? If yes, you have to disable privacy mod in wz settings (like last seen, blue ticks etc.) and re-enable it. It's a bug with any version modded of whatsapp.

No I dont use mod Whatsapp. I use the official Whatsapp from Google play store. I searched in another community and discovered that some Redmi users also experience this but Xiaomi doesn't seem to care.

I managed to disable MIUI optimization in MIUI 13.0.12
All apps permission has been reset to default.
Now trying to observe Whatsapp to see if the problem is resolved.
The issue still persistent. Please help
....you have to enable all permissions in rightmanagement of whatsapp app. Then restart your phone.
I had this issue for a while. Resolved itself.
Thanks to everyone who provided support. I messaged Whatsapp about the issue and the asked me to update to latest version of WhatsApp. I did and everything worked out fine . But the funniest thing is that I've been updating to latest versions but it was never resolved. But when I emailed them and they responded, and I did what they asked me to do then everything went back to normal.
