galaxy S5 Verizon LOCKED!!!!

[anonimoyque]

Guys im about to freak out, I just got a phone en ebay that is locked, i knew that it was locked but I was not expecting this type of lock that I needed the original samsung account to unlock it, even after factory reset!!!

I have tried different options with odin but not of them worked, I also saw some videos in youtube to bypass this screen but they do not work know because if I press the button of "forgot your ID or password" it says that I need to go to account.samsung.com.

I cannot access to the phone to see what version of android is this...

Please there has to be a way!!!

many thanks

There is no downgrading from ok3

So you tried getting the stock OK3 firmware (didn't know this existed, we have OG5) and flashing with ODIN in Download mode?

As ldevereaux said, as of OE1 Verizon has made the phone non-rootable (and thus no custom recoveries) and non-downgradable, so you will need to keep working on the current version your phone has on it.

Guys, I was able to open chrome in the phone so I can access nearly anything on the phone but is still locked, I go to uncheck the reactivation lock but when I do that it activates again by it self... how can I do this permanently! i can install any app, go anywhere on the phone, but it still locked!!! If i shut it down i wont be able to access again.

Sounds like you'll need to contact the seller to get the password.

do you guys think he could put it into download mode and flash the stock stuff so he could atleast get the passcode off of the phone?

the seller doesn't have the password either

That sounds fishy to me. They have to use the Samsung software to remotely lock the bootloader, which requires them accessing their Kies account that they created. Hate to say it, but I think you bought a stolen phone.

well yeah it seems it is stolen, i got it in ebay and the seller said he got it locked from another person..... I wasn't expecting this kind of lock.. never had a samsung before...nothing I can do... i will keep trying I already spent my money on this...

 

[Veid71]

try flashing the original stock firmware and everything from odin and it should be just like a factory reset and itll get the passcode off

 

[anonimoyque]

Already did that.. was the same... keeps requesting the stupid passcode
