I'm was in the process of selling my galaxy s6 yesterday after upgrading to a s7 edge . I deleted my Samsung account (on pc) before taking off the Samsung deactivation lock from the phone and factory reseting it. I am now stuck at the samsung account screen where it asked for the previous account used. Because i deleted my account my information does not unlock it and is now deactivation locked. I contacted samsung and they want me to send it into them but need a proof of purchase. I cant provide that because i bought it off of swappa June 2015. Is there a working bypass to take the deactivation lock off? Its a verizon s6 rooted and running android 5.0.1 .
There are a couple of different threads on page 2 of this help and troubleshooting subforum that should help you.
THANKS! I was able to bypass the deactivation lock using the method linked . Only issue is that i cant remove the account from the phone.

Go to samsung and make your account same name and password, read that works.

Did you ever figure out how to unlock your device?

Did you ever figure out how to unlock your device? Same thing happened to me on a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. I deleted the Samsung account & then FDR'd the phone without deactivating the reactivation lock. ????

I been on the search on how to root my Galaxy s 4g from Us Cellular called the Aviator... (Brand New... Only been out for a week.)
The thing is that USCC is CDMA but their 4g network must be GSM. I don't know if this is a hybrid of CDMA and GSM together or what. (<------ Don't know if that is relevant but tossed it in.) Cant find much on the phone yet....
Anyway my question is the steps to root and flash the same as the T-Mobile sgs4g?
I have tried several different ways and all have been unsuccessful and nothing seemed to work. All that I tried were Software based rooting programs. Super One Click was the most recent and failed.
You need to check the model number under the battery and tell us what it says before we can give you proper advice.
Its the SCH-R930.....
We can't help you in this forum. This is for the SGH-T959V.

For future reference, it appears the name of the phone is Galaxy S Aviator (Samsung Stealth). Your phone is VERY new. Give it some time and you will likely find develpment for it before long.
Hi all, I bought about 3 weeks ago an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 international version that came from Germany. It came with Gingerbread and I updated to ICS and there was a ROM update too. I did this with Kies.
The problem is that when I insert my GSM chip from my carrier there's no internet access or it is very sluggish. It's not a problem with the carrier because the configuration is fine, plus the same GSM chip in a Samsung 5500 works fine with internet. Will reverting back to Gingerbread and previous ROM fix the issue or should I return the phone? Thanks for any feedback.
Have you tried to reprogram the phone with # something. I forgot the rest. I'll be right back, I'm going to look it up

If you are running verizon. go to phone and put in #228. Don't if you are with a different provider. That's the only method I can think of :\
Thanks megaghostgamer, looking forward to your suggestion
You're Welcome
Just to be sure, you are running verizon right?

I'm new at rooting and searched and searched but couldn't find any answers for some questions I have. I apologize in advance as I know you guys get a million questions most of which are the same. I have an att galaxy s4 and I used towelroot to gain root. Afterwards I tried to install a custom recovery and tried both cwm and the other one (team win something or other) and both installed fine but neither would give me an option to backup anything up. Now when I try to boot into recovery it doesn't give me any options anymore it goes straight to the android logo and says downloading but nothing happens as I let it sit for a very long time and it does nothing. Then if I try and mess with any other buttons it says trying to install a custom Os can cause damage press volume down to cancel. Which I do because there isn't any other option... what am I doing wrong? Anyone with some help would be appreciated thanks in advance

It says I'm too new to post on development threads. How do I check what operating system I have to figure out which version of safestrap I need. My phones build number ends with nc1 if that helps. When reading that post I didn't see any version with the last 3 of my phone

Dear All.
I bought my HTC one used phone from Dubai last week and got back to Jordan. The phone is locked with pin, and nothing changes with or without sim card. The phone is originally from Us with Verizon brand. I tried to use HTC chat service and they tried to help resitting the device to factory settings and even I still get the same situation. Any body can advise me what to do in order to get my device unlocked. Thank you.
Hi,
Sounds like a used phone to me, where someone has set a pin lock screen. If so, usually the phone needs to be completely wiped and stock firmware flashed to it.
But for other opinions , please ask in your device section, here....

I'm not familiar with that exact phone, but perhaps you are talking about SIM unlock pin? If so, you need to likely purchase one on a cell unlock site on the internet, since Verizon won't do it if you're not a customer.
Here is a thread on SIM unlocking,

I recently switched to T-Mobile from Verizon and would like to know if it is possible to flash T-Mobile firmware for Samsung Note 5 onto my Verizon Samsung Note 5 (SM-N920V) device.

Please help!!!!
Thank you!
