[Q] Cannot use phone and Cannot Odin.

[AceSLive12]

Hey guys!
Sorry to be a pain in the backside with this one but I tried to use autoroot to root the Galaxy Note 3 and it all started going wrong..

Basically, when I boot into download mode, I get this:

ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-N9005
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock: ON
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
Qualcomm secureboot: None
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P0
Write Protection: Enable

Now, because Reactivation lock is "ON" I cannot use odin to reflash anything..

When I boot my phone, I cannot turn the lock off as I get bombarded with "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped" and "Unfortunately, Direct pen input has stopped" and sometimes ""Process System isn't responding, DO you want to close it?".

EVEN if I manage to get past these errors etc etc, to turn off the lock, I need to input my password, which I cannot do as the keyboard is not working properly.

I CAN boot into CWM recovery, but so far, flashing other roms hasn't worked... so now I'm stuck. I'd love some help with this somehow :/



tl;dr
Cannot use Odin as reactivation lock is on.
Cannot turn reactivation lock off as samsung keyboard doesn't respond.
Can boot into recovery.



Thanks guys.

Have you got a backup in CWM, if you can get to google play install a keyboard Swiftkey is in the top 10 so you won't have to type anything

Is there any way for me to CWM install swiftkey?
When I tried to use different roms I got stuck trying to "set up the phone"
WHen I try to skip everything (so that I didnt have to use the keyboard) I got to a thing saying that the phone experienced an unexpected factory reset or something, and to log in to my samsung account to continue... Problem being, that requires the keyboard :/


Thanks for the help so far!

Thank you so much - I'll give it a try now and get back to you


--Edit--
Tried it, Still getting the "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped." message


---Edit 2---
Ok, so went to Sammobile and installed the default firmware (through Odin -no idea how that worked) for the UK O2 Note 3 (though, Im in Australia)
I can now use my phone properly and I can boot into recovery...
Thank you so much for the help there. Im going to try to re-install another rom now and see what happens, then Ill edit one more time.

Make sure you turn that lock off

Dude, SO many thanks! If I could hit the "Thanks" button more than once I would. You've helped so much, even if what you did wasn't exactly the fix, having you there for support stopped me from freaking out and for that I thank you.

For anyone else who has this issue or similar, Go to sammobile, get your stock firmware from there and install it with ODIN. It may still say that the whole Lock thing is on, but it worked for me anyway - Brilliantly.


Thank you again so very much, you don't know how relieved I am

And please take note - TURN OFF THE REACTIVATION LOCK before flashing....

I don't know what was happening before but I kept turning it off then whenever I restarted it would go on again :/
I am going to make certain I never even turn it on in the first place in the future


Now Im stuck with the stock O2 boot image - that can be changed right?

Yeah just flash a rom that will go

I'm having the exact same problem where the phone is completely unusable after booting up from a clean odin flash. It's the right stock firmware and I've done several factore resets/wipes of every partition. Nothing is fixing this problem. What reactivation lock are you guys talking about? How can you disable it before flashing if you can't even boot into the phone?
