I was able to flash the Gear Fit 2 with R360XXU1APE4 using Odin in hopes of getting rid of the Activation lock. No success. Is there any way to get rid of the Activation lock or should I just cut my losses and toss it in the trash?

Hello everyone,
I though I was better with all of this, but I am not, and I need your help.
I got two Galaxy s4 form Verizon. One for me and my gf.
She was going away to Europe for vacation and I was trying to be clever guy and unlock sim lock for her. So she could use it over seas..
Well after talking with Verizon it turn out that phone is unlock and ready to got, so I put Tmobile card inside and it work but had that notification that it was non Verizon sim and it only took calls. busted...
So I try to root it...
or main plan was to make this phone to be like non Verizon phone, so it would look like is running with out all that Verizon stuff just pure android.
so I think I succeed with rooting but it was still Verizon phone. I got couple more files that I put in on my phone thru Odin.
And now
that galaxy would not start.
you power it on goes to that Samsung sine at beginning with "lock" icon that is open, with sine "custom" and it will not go any further...
I can put it to download mode, but idk what to put in to it true odin.
and when I go to recovery mode it goes to "team win recovery project v2.5.0.2", but idk what to do in there plus I tried to reset it couple of times...
so I am beat and no idea what I am doing and I am asking for help...
I been with that situation over two weeks now... and I had to go back to my s3...
she took my (second one) SG4 with her because we thought that maybe she will get it to work with non americans companies like Verizon said but she cant even text on it because she cant put any ne Access Point Names... but that's other problem... and some other time...
The one I am stuck with is main one...
Can any one help bring this phone back to live?
Either to Verizon version or if possible to Verizon stock free just pure android?
either Way I will be very grateful for help..
Thanks for your time
Okay gurus, I need some help.
I purchased a Galaxy S4 i545 for verizon used on craigslist. When I bought it, I went with the guy to the Verizon store and watched as he had it removed from his account. The people at verizon told me the phone was clean and there were no issues. Several weeks later, I took this phone to verizon and tried to replace my current phone with this one.
When they boot it without a sim card, there is no issue. As soon as they put a sim card in the phone it automatically goes into some kind of automated activation mode dialing out over and over again. There is no way to break the activation cycle other than pull the battery. The people at verizon are now telling me there's something wrong with the phone.
Thinking maybe he had it rooted or unlocked, I followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209 to put the phone back to 100% stock (including PIT), but still there is no way around this issue. (See Attached screenshot)
Anybody have any experience with this? Can you help me out?
Ultimately, I was going to switch this over to PagePlus after using on VZW for a month or so.
I just purchased a phone via ebay and it has been locked. The good news is that the Google locking seems to be pretty good. The bad news is the Google locking seems to be pretty good. I have found that some other phones have flaws that allow bypass of this lock. Anyone aware of something for the Moto e 2015?
I bought two XT1526's from Best Buy for $10 each on Black Friday for my two sons. I reset them both when I was going to activate them and one of them asks me for Google password. I have tried everything and I even believe we are using the correct password. OTG doesn't work on this phone so that method is a no go. There was another method that involves killing the wifi connection in the middle of verifying but I can not get that one to work.
If anyone does know a method for this phone I have not seen it posted anywhere.
have you tried any other method such as unlocking bootloader, flashing a custom ROM on it, etc....I just bought one off eBay for $7 and it said "Google Account Locked". This is the first time i've ever heard of a Google Account Lock on a phone...
Can confirm. There's a persistent security feature to prevent stolen phones from working after a reset. I'm not sure how to get around it.
Sorry if this in the wrong spot. My brother was killed in an auto accident and we have none of his passwords and are trying to get into his phone without hard resetting it and losing all data. I tried putting his sim in my phone but no contacts were on it to import. I really don't want to wait a month to get a death certificate and mail it off somewhere. I will pay whatever, buy software, any help appreciated. Motorola M0CD7.
Hi All,
I just discovered that RBC have added the ability to use their debit/credit cards with Samsung Pay. I excitedly added my debit & credit card and successfully activated both of them. I can open Samsung Pay from swiping up from the home screen and select either of the payment methods. My problem is so far I have tried numerous different locations over the last few days and when I present the phone to the payment terminal it simply doesn't register. No errors at all just nothing. I tried removing the phone from the Otterbox Symetry case but it didn't make a difference. I also deleted the app and re installed it. Still no joy. My wife has an S8 Plus and her Samsung Pay works with no issues whatsoever even with a really cheap folio case.
I would love to hear from anyone that is using Samsung Pay on the S9 Plus in Canada, particularly with RBC cards. Not sure if I am doing something stupid but I'd love to get it working.
Regards
Richard
This is how it works for me in the UK
Open samsung pay, tap where it says credit/debit cards, tap on the card you want to use.
Now you have two options. If you are using fingerprint unlock then use it now and the app will display your payment card on a black background and the phone starts to vibrate and you have 30 seconds to make the payment.
If you are using pin, tap on the pin button and enter your pin number then same thing will happen.

Are you using your iris or fingerprint scanner to initiate the payment process? It's not as effortless as Android pay. It has the added redundancy.

I tried again last night with no luck,
I unlocked my phone, swiped up from the bottom of the home screen, selected my RBC debit card then used my fingerprint. This initiated the 30 second countdown. I placed the phone over the terminal exactly where the NFC receiver is both horizontally & vertically. It would not recognize the payment, no errors. I eventually had to use my actual debit card
