I need to disable the "Reactivation Lock" to flash TWRP recovery from Odin (failing because of R/L) but everytime I try to turn it off and enter my samsung password it will turn back on. I tried removing samsung account or deleting it altogether but no luck :(

please help. now I can't receive OTA because of Ping pong root and I can't flash because of R/L

EDIT: FIXED: the ONLY way to fix this is to flash the exact same firmware (and CSC) as the current firmware via Odin. I'll never use R/L ever!

I've tried this with same CSC but I still can't deactivate R-L. I must be doing something wrong but don't know what. Guess I'll keep researching and try later!

So I have a similar problem I can not untick reactivation lock as it turns itself back on. I have tried your method with ODIN, but it did not work. *#1234# gives me the following results:
AP: G920FXXU1AOE3
CP G920FXXU1AOE3
CSC: G920FPHN1AODQ

I have therefore downloaded the file from this link: https://mega.co.nz/#!hxRjCALJ!FsQL0Q-oH3wlWfN8IU_0SH1zbqekn1jSoSL1phO7c64 and flashed this file with ODIN. By setting it as AP and then flashing it. While it successfully flashed my device is not even factory resetted; it is exactly the same and I am still unable to disable reactivation lock. Someone please help! I deeply regret even enabling the Reactivation Lock ...

My device came with RL turned on it out of the box. Before I rooted it, I followed the instructions that said turn RL off before starting the root process.

Did it work? And what did you you do?
did anyone figure this out? I personally cannot figure out how to turn off RL. I go to lock settings but i don't see find my device in there.
