I have a N960F/DS i bought it in Singapore and it's been fine so far. However, yesterday i wanted to root my phone and try some custom rom. When i click the oem unlock option, it asked me to factory reset the phone. But i cannot click on the "Delete All" button. It's grey out. So i went to the Recovery mode and select wipe data/factory reset it says MDM does not allowed factory reset and the phone reboot..
That is basically what happen.
Here's some extra info. When i first bought the phone, i used it for a few days and it starts to lag a little so I factory reset it before, and everything works fine after that. I did flash some update via odin and firmware from samfirm. So i thought maybe i flashed wrong firmware. I tried to flash the original firmware, bl, csc etc but it doesn't solve my problem either... Any help???
I searched it online and I saw some solution to this : Apprently you had to flash some mdm fix, but it's for S9. I wonder if I could use it for the Note 9

So I upgraded to Lollipop not too long ago and did a factory reset, and ever since then everything "Samsung Account" related does not work. Trying to add a Samsung account does absolutely nothing. It's like the button just doesn't work! Because of this, I wanted to reset my device again. However, upon clicking the Reset button, a little Samsung Account screen pops up for a split second and disappears, rendering the factory reset button useless. Furthermore, I'd use Kies to factory reset, but when my Note is plugged into the computer (using the cable it came with), it likes to randomly disconnect and reconnect to the computer, so I can't factory reset that way. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to what I can do that doesn't involve voiding my warranty? Thanks!

Your issue with not being able to do a factory reset may have a lot to do with the
"Reactivationg lock" option, you need to uncheck it before doing a factory data reset..
With the re-activation lock is checked I doubt you can do a factory data reset.
Once the phone has been reset, do the following:
Go to http://Sammobile.com and download the official stock N910T 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware for your phone.
Then use ODIN to flash the firmware, flashing the firmware will not void your warranty and your phone will
be in the exact same condition as when you purchased it.
Before you odin flash the firmware be sure to go into your phone's settings>security and make sure that the
"Reactivation lock" is not checked.
Also be sure you do a factory reset by going into settings>Backup and reset and do a "factory data reset"
before you ODIN flash the official firmware.
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply! However, I can't perform a factory reset by going to Settings>Backup and Reset, because the "factory data reset" button does absolutely nothing when I press it (besides launch something that says "Samsung Account" for literally a split second).

Have you UN-CHECKED the Reactivation lock before trying to do a factory data reset?
You need to do that first then reboot.. The reactivation lock is in settings>Security
Then do a factory data reset.
Good luck!

I just used the recovery to eventually reset because even with the reactivation lock unchecked it wasn't working. All is good now, thanks!

Just factory reset in recovery (twrp/phills'cwm) is not the same
same thing as doing the factory data reset in the phone itself.

How so? I thought it was the same, especially since I don't have a custom recovery. Everything seems to be working fine now too.
Hello.
I rooted my samsung sm-g800f phone using odin, first time i forgot to put the phone in the loader menu and the phone got broken.
I got the message: firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
I found a firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-g800f-samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-4-4-2-t2861093
I installed it, and the phone is working again, but i get the message "has stopped working" On gmail, clock, and other apps.
I thought when i installed this firmware my stuff would be gone, but i got the same background, apps and so on.
The country for this firmware is wrong that might cause this issue, i didn't backup my original firmware.
Do a wipe cache/data and factory reset from the recovery . Save your data first because everything is going to be erased .

I already fixed it, but thank you for reply
Hello, i have been researching for this issue that i have for over a month now, and yet i haven't found any solution or even a clue on how to fix it, and im sure lots of people are having the same issue that im having, let me explain what exactly happened to my phone and what i exactly tried
i was running on 5.0.1 G920TUVU1AOCG, and at that time "Ping Pong Root" was not yet available, so the only way to root the phone was to flash the "g920t_of6_aou_kernel_v1.tar" witch i did and installed SU using "g925t_of6_aou_twrp_recovery_v13.tar" and the phone worked perfect after that, and after the 5.1.1 lollipop came out, i decided to upgrade to that, so i flashed stock 5.1.1 odin firmware and flash the custom kernel "g920t_of6_aou_kernel_v1.tar" to get it out the bootloop since it was flashed previously on it, it worked and booted up and all seemed to be fine, i also wanted to perform a factory reset, and here is where the PROBLEM started, i forgot to turn on OEM Unlocking in Dev options, so after the factory reset, the phone got stuck on the bootloop "Samsung galaxy s6; powered by android" and the only way to make it bypass this bootloop is by flashing the "g920t_of6_aou_kernel_v1.tar" again, but i cant flash that because i forgot to turn on the OEM Unlocking in the dev options, and every time i try for flash any custom recovery or custom kernel and will give me "Custom Binary (BOOT) blocked by FRP Lock", so now im stuck on the bootloop, i cant access the phone to turn on the OEM Unlocking, Phone is basically STUCK.
I have tried flashing all stock firmwares that are, i have tried flashing all available kernels, i have tried Factory resetting the phone and wiping the catch, i have tried every guide on XDA and nothing ever worked for me.
i apologize for the long explanation, but i just dont want people to think that i am repeating the same question over and over since a similar question was asked by other members on XDA previously.
Thank you very much for taking the time and reading my question.
Do you still have recovery mode?
EDIT: In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/custom-binary-blocked-frp-lock-t3152054 every person that had the problem fixed it by flashing the stock firmware. make sure you're flashing the stock firmware that's the exact same as the firmware when your phone worked. So if you were on OI1 for example, you have to flash OI1 firmware or it wouldn't work. Try a couple times too, I've heard ODIN can be wonky sometimes.
Thank you for the reply, i actually did try all stock firmwares, it was on 5.1.1 OF8 before it bricked, and i tried that one too, no luck, flashing gives me successful, but phone is still stuck on the boot loop, i hope i can find a solution for this issue.

Try to factory reset in recovery and flash the tar trough ODIN again. If that doesn't work, try to restore it with SmartSwitch. A lot of people have success restoring their phone that way. If that doesn't work then I don't know.
I have a phone that I am trying to get working for my wife because we ran over her own S5 (long story)
Phone worked perfectly so I was like, cool, factory reset and put her SIM in. No problem right? WRONG!
Factory reset the phone and now it only gets to the ATT logo, then nothing else.
I have booted in recovery mode and cleared cache and reset the device. Still stuck on ATT logo.
I think I might have a corrupted ROM on my phone so I went searching for a firmware for this phone, which does not seem to exist anywhere on the internet.
Model is Sm-g870a
No damage to phone, like I said everything worked before factory reset. I tried one ROM that i found but it is not the correct version (footer is wrong and signature verification failed errors)
All I need is the STOCK ROM for this. Not rooted and no mods to any of the files.
hello i wanted to install a stock rom on my note 10 lite live demo unit (ldu), once the flash ended via odin is displayed (pass) but when i restart the phone i get stuck on the samsung logo, i have already tried to reset and clear the cache it does not change anything, I flash the region of my region (XEF) in January and March but nothing works. Help me please

I'm note sure if any of this will work, but this is what I would try:
Redownload the correct stock ROM, making sure it matches the specific hardware (Samsung Exynos vs Qualcomm). Additionally, check the checksum to make sure the download wasn't corrupted.
Flash everything again using Odin, making sure to include all partitions (BL, AP, CRC, etc.) in their correct slots.
If that doesn't work, clear data and reboot.
If that doesn't work, retry with only the AP (somehow does things differently with the partition table).
If that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas. Maybe some of the more advanced features of Odin could help, but I'm not sure how those work, and you can really mess up your device with them.
Note that the first boot after a full wipe will take significantly longer than normal, as a lot of preparations need to be done. If it passed the bootloader to the second Samsung logo, give it around 10-15 minutes to be sure it's not just taking long.
