Verizon Note Edge - Reactivation Lock Problems (Legit Samsung Account)
Ughh, so I got my Note Edge, Had it unlocked and rooted running ver 6.0.1 (was originally 5.0.1) For some reason it would not allow me to turn off the activation lock even though it was legitimately in my account, I logged into account.samsung.com and verified it. Did a master reset on phone with no help. Next thing I did was delete the samsung account and recreate it. (Probably a huge mistake). When I try to use my account to unlock the phone I keep getting 'processing failed' I have tried every flash and bypass that I've been able to find with no luck at all. I've been dinking with this for over a week now.
Contacted Samsung yesterday and basically got a runaround response from them.
I still have the email stating the device was registered to me with this IMEI but it didn't help any. I have the original simm card and have done everything with simm installed. at first the OTG cable was working but wouldn't still wouldn't let me turn the lock off. Now it won't even pop up file manager when I conect the OTG cable.
I don't care how I get this lock off of here but can someone point me in the right direction for something that is currently working either through samsung or any other alternative means. Am so frustrated at the moment.
Same issue here. Help!!
Man, i cant beleive this isnt possible? I still have the phone sitting here because i have stuff on it i need. Anyone? Any solutions at all? It's not the google lock but the samsung lock.
What helped me with my note edge I found on technocaretricks website it is Samsung account bypass/reset solution for all models. Also watching a quick utube video or 2. (Sorry cudn't post links)
Hope it helps

By setting a lock pattern/pin, you protect your personal information. But it seems if the phone is lost, you've made it impossible for the person who found it, to find you.
I have here a lost Android phone. Now I'm trying to find out who the owner is, however I can't get it unlocked.
My questions is, is there any way to bypass this lock screen without resetting the whole phone?
The official recovery method is to log in to the phones Google account, which I obviously can't do. I'm aware of methods such as booting into recovery, wiping/reflashing etc. but that would wipe out any means of finding the owner.
There's no SD card on this particular model to pop out and look for clues on.
If there's no way around the lock without wiping, then I guess I have to keep the phone .
Take it into one of the retail stores for the carrier and they can return it to the owner. There is a MEID label on most phones (my DX has one under the battery) which identifies the device and can be traced back to the owner by the carrier.
which model is this u are talking about and its a bad bad thing
tell me the model number ... or else check it always pops up the email u can always send email to the owner ...
try posting ur screen by making a screen shot from android sdk method
Nexus S.
Phone has no branding on it, but the sim inside is from 3 mobile. So I assume the phone is from there as well. If it's not, can they still track it.

yes i think they might can track if its kept on... they track it bt nearest phone tower location
they can't trace exact gps location i think bt tracks the local area... u might can get into trouble if u don't reply it to the owner ...
the best option i consider is rush to the nearest 3 mobile outlet if there any in ur area ... don't show them phone jst say u found a sim with this this number (numbers are on top of sim ) and also certain goods of the owner and u want to contact him personally as the artifacts are quite costly
this is the best option
and if there is no number over sim then took the sim itself to the store
good thing to know u wanna return back thanku from my side
i think this is the link for u

I can't use the SDK, since debugging mode isn't turned on.
But a screenshot isn't really going to help anyway, since all you can see is the pattern lock screen.
I'm not sure what you mean. How do I make their email popup?
i meant that when i forgot my lock pattern once .. i clicked on forgot pattern.. then i send a link to my email id automatcly with few clicks... and at last it poped up a menu saying
"email has been sent to - (My email id) "
can you not connect the phone by usb and access its memory with correct driver?! and if you enter the pattern many times wrong like 17 times i think it will ask you to log into the google Account, maybe there u see the account login and can just send an email from your comp to that address/name.
edit: i just notice kshitij_bhatt said about the same thing

I am wondering if all Note 2s allow for using gmail account to unlock phone when you are unable to remember pattern lock. I, Myself, do not have a problem, however, I have seen people mention they can unlock the phone if too many unsuccessful attempts are made at trying to unlock the phone. I do have a gmail account which is linked to the phone. I have tried 100 times to get it to give me the option to use the gmail account without any avail. I am a ATT user, was wondering if this might have something to do with it. The phone is not rooted. Any ideas? Also, it doesn't give me a countdown timer saying try again.
Thanks
You say that you don't have a problem, but then say you do. Regardless, looks like you'll have to do a factory reset.

What I am saying is I am not locked out of the phone. I was just testing out that feature, but it never appears.
Hello, friend of mine bought a s6 edge a few weeks back. Worked good until he went to reset it. Note it's doing the this phone had abnormal reset please insert old Samsung account. The guy isn't responding of course. Well I can bypass it and get the phone working but it won't allow him to log onto Any Samsung app now. When we click add account for Samsung it just clicks it and goes back to add account.
Anyone have this issue? Or can you help?
Hey all. I originally posted this in the Mate 9 forum inadvertently but meant to post it here.
My wife and I both have the Mate 10 Pro. She lost hers at work several days ago. I located it using the Find My Device app. I also locked it so nothing in it was compromised just in case she didn't find it. She ends up finding the phone and can't unlock it. She brings it home for me to take a look at and I notice that I can't even input the whole password before it shows up as invalid. Apparently the input limit is 16 characters and the password I used when locking it remotely was 17 characters. I offered to factory reset it for her but she said no because she has a bunch of pictures on there she doesn't want to lose. Basically, her cloud photo storage is full and the last month and a half of pictures haven't been backed up. Is there anything I can do to at least retrieve her photos?
Has it ever been connected to a PC and ADB permission granted? If so connect to same pc and pull the content you want to back up. Otherwise it might be a question for Google. Also factory reset may not work in it's locked state due to recent Android anti theft measures.

Thanks for the reply. The only time it's ever been connected to a PC was using HiSuite to back up the phone before a factory reset a few months ago. I just feel bad and was hoping to fix it. I did post up a question on the Google help forum and haven't received a response. I guess I'll just give it several more days and if I can't figure out a resolution, I'll just factory reset the phone and see if I can at least get her phone back to her. I don't think she cares for the battery life of my old HTC 10... Thanks again.
If the password is too long then make her request a password change bro it's common sense.
I appreciate the input. I will try again when I get home but I'm almost positive you can only set the password one time through the "Find My Device" app. Once it's set, there is no changing it.

I think It uses the same password as the google account that locked it. also try to log in on another phone or computer and try to see if you can unlock it, also the limit is 100Characters for google password So I don't think that's the problem.

So, just for the sake of clarity, I'll explain in more detail. My wife never uses a screen lock or password on her phone. When I "secured" the device using the Find My Device app, I put in a password to lock it. That password is 17 characters long. When the phone boots up, it asks for a password. The problem is, the phone will not allow me to input more than 16 characters. I tried truncating the password and that doesn't work either. I've tried her google password and it's a no-go. I've tried connecting it using the HiSuite software but the software doesn't see the phone. I've asked on the google help forums and haven't received any response.
Currently, my wife is using an old phone and I'm trying to find a workaround. Using the Find My Device app right now and it doesn't see the phone, so there is no option to relock with a different password (don't think that is possible anyway).
I have tried to do the same thing on my phone now and it is asking for the unlock PIN, the same PIN what I use after restarting the phone.
So, I can not believe that your phone does not accept that PIN/password because the password can be up to 32 characters long.

yea something seems fishy here OP must have stole it or found the phone and the real owner have it locked it, so there's "supposedly" his wife is the owner of the phone she is the one who locked it first so I don't see the problem with her unlocking it because to lock it it must be done from a computer or a different phone.

Thanks for the accusation. You sound like a fun person to be around. I, me, myself, locked the phone through "Find My Device". I only did that because she did not have any type of screen lock/password/PIN on the phone. Once the phone was rebooted, "Find My Device" couldn't even locate the phone again. As far as the other comments about password length, all I can say is I locked the phone with a password (using my computer) that was 17 characters long and when typing said password into the phone, as soon as I hit the 16th character, the phone said invalid password. Apparently I'm not the only person that's had this issue...

To everyone else, I appreciate the help. I just ended up wiping it. My "wife" isn't too mad at me. Just lost a bunch of pictures of our kiddo.
Hi,
First of all I am really sorry for the questions and the beginner kind of questions. I really need your help. Your help is appreciated.
Please do not calm me down (is reassure the right english word?)! I just want to hear facts and answers regarding the truth/reality..
I have got a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus (SM-G965F, Duos), bought in Germany. My Android Version was Android 8 or higher, but I can only guess this part. Maybe it was older than Android 8?
It fell into water (only the bottom part) a year ago and about a month ago i gave it to a repairshop (I know that this was very late).
I did not give my lock screen code to the shop workers. I did not give them any code.
The Bitdefender App (full) was installed on the phone.
As I remembered that there was sensitive data on the phone I took my phone back the next day. Bitdefender has mentioned that there was failed access attempt to my phone. Bitdefender App took one or more photos (I can only see one) of a worker trying to unlock my phone.
I used Bitdefender, so I think the Secure Boot was disabled (I think). Is this important for my question?
The old data (before giving to the shop) was on my phone, no deletion of any file, as far as I can remember my own files.
Questions:
Could the workers of the phone service shop get any kind of access, e.g. by cracking my phone, bypassing or just trying. I mean, they are professionals or semi-professionals. My phone code consisted of four digits I think. There was no SIM-card inside the phone.
When I took my phone back the date was set to january 1st. Why that? How can that be? The Bitdefender App said that the photo was taken on 2018-01-01, 15:41 o'clock. Maybe Bitdefender takes it from the android system. Or from WiFi of the shop? Is that possible for them to connect to their WiFi without the lockscreen code? Can it be, that they unlocked the phone, and messed up the timestamp?
Is access (if possible) only via USB cable possible or wirelessly, too?
After a bit of investigation I found out that there is software to rescue data both from iOS and Android systems (For example: Dr. Fone). Maybe access it possible with software like that?
The warranty void of my phone is: 0x0. So I think that software like CWM or TWRK was not installed on my phone, am I right? And I also think that my phone was not rooted, am I right? But I have read that you can flash the full ROM, to set it back, from 0x1 to 0x0 (https://c.mi.com/thread-1898682-1-0.html)
I have read this, but I do not know if it works on my phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437946
Could they have gained access to any password, including Google and Samsung accounts?
I have researched and found out that there are several options: USB debug mode, Warranty Void, FRP Lock, OEM Lock, KG State. Do they use one of these to gain access?
After taking back my phone from the shop I did a hard reset on that phone. After the reinstallation the phone did NOT ask me for a PIN/password or google account . So, was the FRP Lock OFF?
I think I had both the Google Account and the Samsung Account logged in on this phone. So was FRP=ON ? What about other options/states, e.g. the OEM Lock?
But I changed the password from within my PC (Browser), not from within this phone. Maybe the phone had an internet connection (so that an error was shown internal on my phone, due to the password change), maybe not. Could the FRP Lock have changed to FRP Lock=OFF (due to this password change?).
What about other options/states, e.g. the OEM Lock?
A bit offtopic, but related to my problem: The shop said that they tested my phone after repairing. Microphone etc. How could they have done that without my lockscreen code? What else apart from microphone could the have tested?
Hi again,
I know that this is a long post nd much to read. I need your help. I have researched and asked, but no definite answer.
Please help me out, guys.
Your help is appreciated!

Did you ever enable USB debug on dev option on your phone?

Hi,
as far as I know you have to enable the Developer Options first, in order to enable the USB Debug mode, right? If it is like that, no. I even never got into the Developer menu I think - as far as I can remember. Because I didn't know about this option.
edit: And the standard option is (e.g. when bought a new phone or after a hard reset etc):
USB Debug mode disabled, correct?
