So I've run into the same annoying problem that so many others have run into with the Samsung Reactivation lock. I searched high and low, tried many methods but none worked since they've all been patched...until the method I found last night. Now I've finally managed to get into the phone and even into the settings, but now everytime I try to uncheck the Reactivation lock it automatically comes back on. Does anyone know of a way around this or what to do next? I'm on Verizon S5 LP firmware version BOE1 (I think).

By the way, if anyone wants to know a way to get in the phone using the method I found, let me know....before Samsung patches that too. I actually haven't seen this method yet and I've seen many.

Thanks in advance!

Could you please post instructions? I cannot get past the login screen of mine and I have been giving the run around at Samsung for over 2 hours and eventually a supervisor just flat out told me that there's nothing they can do. I will PM a photo of the imei # and phone if you request, the phone is not stolen and I own it and cannot get back in.

Well not sure what your exact setup is (I.e. carrier, phone, Android version) but I can point u to the instructions that worked for me. It's kind of a combination of the first 2 posts. Here's the link:

Good luck!
