After searching all over the net for a guide and reading a ton of forums I decided to write this guide.
First Off:
I AM NOT RESPONISBLE FOR YOUR MISTAKES, BAD FILES or ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT ARRISE FROM THIS GUIDE!!!
1. Read this before doing anything!
2. If you can see the 3 Color bars on the screen and USB in the bottom left then you can reflash the device. This is the boot loader screen for the SDA. To get to this (while the phone is off) you have to hold down the camera button, then hold down the power button until the screen goes white. Then let go of the buttons. It does not matter if the USB is plugged in yet or not.
3. I have only seen Radio updates load on aftermarket firmware. Meaning not HTC or T-Mobile firmware. You should load the radio update last. If you try to load it on a factory firmware your phone will not boot as it is not a certified app, or at least thats what i belive the problem to be. I havent heard of any one making it work.
4. Copy down all the settings from your proxy, connections and mms settings. To get to the MMS go to the messages, MMS, then MENU, then OPTIONS, ACCOUNT OPTIONS, MMS. Copy those and then hit MENU and MMSC Settings also.
Step One: Get the files...
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com U: xda or xdaupload P: xda
ActiveSync 4.2
RegEditSTG.cab or regedit.exe
SPV-Services
Newest Firmware as of 8/29/06 - Dopod_586W_Romcode_AKU2_Update.exe
Newest Radio as of 8/29/06 - Tornado_Radio_4[1].1.13.19_02.37.01
Connect SDA to PC
------------------
1. First Install ActiveSync and then reboot the PC.
2. Now backup all of your files and contacts from the SDA.
Backup Key Files
----------------
3. Inside ActiveSync there is an 'Explore' button. Press this and goto the \Windows Folder.
4. Copy all the files that start with Short_XXX and Long_XXX to your desktop. These assign diffrent tasks to the buttons on the SDA. They are read only so you must uncheck the read only box on the file to edit them. To edit these you have to open notepad.exe and drag over the file. Later we will copy these back.
App Unlock Phone
----------------
5. Copy over the regedit.exe or the RegEditSTG.cab and run them from the SDA.
6. Go to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies and press the Values key.
7. Now edit the '00001001' and set it's Value Data to 1. (Default is 2 on mine)
8. Now edit the '00001005' and set it's Value Data to 40. (Default is 16 on mine)
9. Copy over the Cert.cab file from the SPV-Services folder to the SDA and run it from the File Manager. Say yes and it should say successfull. If not you will have to research the problem as the phone must be App Unlocked to finish this guide.
Unlock Phone and set SuperCID
-----------------------------
10. In the SPV-Services folder, run the SPVServices.exe. It should say ALL OK in big letters and RAPI Init was successfull. If not please reasearch the problem as the phone must be unlocked and have SuperCID '11111111' Set to work.
11. Click the SIMLock Tool on the left. Type in AGREE and hit Login.
12. If the button says UnLock then press it. Otherwise don't.
13. Now click the CID Tool button on the left.
14. You should now have a button that says 'Set CID = 11111111'. Press this button.
15. Close the app.
Load The Firmware
-----------------
16. Now close any open apps but this screen and run the 'Dopod_586W_Romcode_AKU2_Update.exe' or whaterver firmware you are using.
17. Check all the boxes and say update if you are sure you want to update.
18. If you use the firmware I have listed it will default to Chinese but it has English. Others may or may not so be carefull!!!
19. It can take a few minutes because it has to upload 45mb or so of data to the phone. You will see the progress bar on the screen as it is updating. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE!!
20. The phone will reboot by its self after a while. Some people have reported up to 20 minutes for it to work so BE PATIENT! If it never reboots then good luck!
21. When the phone reboots it will most likly be in some other language. It will load the OS settings and you will have to hit the left key when asked to reboot the phone agian.
Change the language:
--------------------
22. Go to |START|SETTINGS|0|2|Press the joystick to the right till you see english. Now press the left key to accept.
23. It will tell you that you have to reboot to take effect.
24. Press the back arrow 3 times (this closes apps in the SDA in case you did not know).
25. Power off then power on the phone.
26. Now go back to |START|SETTINGS|0|2| and change your local to whatever you want.
27. Now go to the Clock and change it to your time zone.
28. Power off and then power on the phone.
Radio Update
------------
29. Now close any open apps but this screen and run the 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe'.
30. Check all the boxes and say update if you are sure you want to update.
31. When the phone is back online you will be using the newest radio update for the SDA.
Restore Keys
------------
32. Now copy the key files you copied off, back to the \windows folder on the SDA.
33. Reboot and they should work. I have had problems with the # key not going to the silent profile anymore.
Unlock Agian
------------
34. Go back to the 'Unlock Phone and set SuperCID' section (step 10 - 15) and follow the same steps.
Now for your settings
---------------------
35. Add all those connection settings back into the phone.
36. These were my settings for USA T-Mobile

Above is a link to a very good guide full of registry stuff and other things. Read it, its worth it.
After Dopod update
rom: 2.0.9.0
Operator: 2.6.37.0
Radio: 413.1.04_02.09.00
After Radio update
rom:2.0.9.0
Operator: 2.6.37.0
Radio: 4.1.13.19_02.37.01

One more thing about unlock. In the registry editor Policies key, you also want to add the following:
Now add a new DWORD value '0000101b' and set it's Value Data to 1. (It probably won't exist on your device, but if it does then just edit the value)
This sets the security model to Single-Tier, which will actually app-unlock the phone without having to edit the other two values listed in the guide (although I always change those as well just to be safe)
Notifications
Some people were also asking about the message notifications. The screen is not clearing on my device so I found a couple of links that might help.

my first rom upgrade for the sda, thanks to your easy to follow faq... many thanks!
interestingly enough, I didn't have to copy the keys back to the windows folder... strangely, the media keys already work. The only thing I don't like about this rom (as opposed to the ship rom I had) is that the english font looks different.
2 problems I'm having with Dopod_586W_Romcode_AKU2_Update.exe are full english support and inability to run spcservices which render it useless. I'm getting an error code for both SIM and CID. Also the english language support isn't all there. When I go to wifi setting and wpa, all the chars aren't there. No '_' and no '$', among many others.
No English T9
As much as I love the Dopod Rom, sooo fast, the lack of english t9 makes it unusable for me...
I recently bought Window N90 tablet and I´ve been trying to figure out how to make my 3G USB modem to work with it. I finally figured it out, so I want to share this solution with others who might want to do this.
Supported 3G modems for Window N90 are (according to specs): E1916, ZTE AC2736, HUAWEI E1750, HUAWEI EC122, HUAWEI EM770W
I have Huawei E1750, so I can only confirm that this guide works for E1750.
1) Install modem drivers/software on your PC
2) Download Hyper Terminal ( just google it, you can download it on few sites ) and unpack it somewhere
3) Run Hyper Terminal - as a name of new connection enter anything you want, click OK
4) In next window named "Connect" in its last column "Connect using" select "HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem" and click OK.
5) In next window with a phone number and other parameters press Cancel
6) Now select File -> Properties -> tab Options -> click on button ASCII Options -> tick second box named "Show input characters on the screen." Click OK twice.
7) Type AT, if you get response OK, that means your modem is communicating.
8) Type AT^U2DIAG? and note the number you get as response in case you ever want to change the settings of modem back
9) Type AT^U2DIAG=0 and press enter. If you get response OK, you just set up your modem to be acting only as a modem, not a card reader/CD drive
Now you can connect your 3G modem to USB port of your tablet and use it to connect to internet.
If you ever want to change the behavior of your modem back to way it was, follow this guide from beginning, but instead of AT^U2DIAG=0 use AT^U2DIAG=xxx - where xxx is number you got from AT^U2DIAG? command.
Hope this helped someone
One more thing, you will need to disable SIM PIN request before you use your modem with your tablet. Here´s how to do it:
You have to disable the PIN on SIM card, either through Windows and some Connection suite for your modem or you can do it through Hyper Terminal:
1) lets figure out if SIM inserted in your modem is PIN locked, in Hyper Terminal type:
AT+CPIN?
- if PIN is active, you should get response "+CPIN: SIM PIN", if its not, you will get "+CPIN: READY"
2) to disable PIN lock of your SIM card, type:
AT+CPIN=1234 (where 1234 is your PIN code) - you should get "OK" in response, then type:
AT+CLCK="SC",0,"1234" (where 1234 is again your PIN code) - you should get "OK" in response
your SIM card should now have PIN code requests disabled.
Glad to help... in this monologue
Thank you! You saved my day
Glad to help just hit "thank you" button next time, so my profile wont look so useless
Hi Darkjesus,
I'm planning to buy Sony Tablet S, either the Wifi or Wifi+3g model. What I would like to know is whether the method you posted will work with it if I want to use a Data Card (EVDO) to connect to the internet on the go.
Thanks,
Ashish K.
Hi Ashishk2911,
I think you can find your answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359364 - it seems that you will need to root your tablet in order to use 3G stick as modem.
Just an addition: Its not only for Window90 tablet, but for many Android tablets
Hopefully this might help someone who comes across a similarly bizarre situation. I've gone into detail to ensure anyone who tries this has all the info needed, so apologies for the biblical post but this 100% worked for me on my S6.
Ok, so here's the dilemma I was faced with which was a total nightmare. My phone (although otherwise fully functional) was slowing down a tad and becoming quite laggy so I decided to factory reset it (as I've done a hundred times before to several phones over the years). All the usual pre-requisites were carried out (back-ups taken, usb debugging on, reactivation lock cleared, etc.) I proceeded to factory reset the device, all went as expected without any issues. Once completed and at the 1st setup page, I selected language and proceeded. I set up WiFi connection and proceeded. I was then met with the next setup page, my Samsung Account. However, there was a message - "This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you." Well, I naturally proceeded to enter my Samsung ID and correct password, but that's when things got weird. After a longer than expected period to sign in, I got a brief pop-up to say "Processing failed". That was it, no other explanation, no other option, no other way around it. I was now 100% locked out of my phone which I have had (store bought from brand new) for 2yrs. I contacted Samsung support, but I think we all know that was a complete waste of time - so I began to research extensively. I came here to XDA first but couldn't find any solution, I then scoured the web and checked a tonne of YT videos. Again, nothing doing - it was all either outdated information, Samsung had patched vulnerabilities, or the methods were just time-wasting idiots posting hoax fixes which did nothing. It was worth it to a point though because I got several tips and picked up some software. Then after about 8hrs, I stumbled across another post from someone here on XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/help/reactivation-lock-bypass-samsung-account-t3625723#post73617288. Massive thanks to him/her. The basis of his/her method definitely works, but I had a few improvements, particularly concerning the dialling of emergency numbers. So, that's the background to the issue I had and how I got to here. The following is the full method of what I did and I can say that I have a 100% fully functional S6 again. I've gone into this detail as I've found that a lot of posts can be a bit vague, so hopefully this helps someone out....
1. On the 1st setup wizard page after the factory reset has completed; select your language, then connect to (WiFi preferably). You then arrive at the Samsung Account sign-in and cannot proceed any further.
2. Make sure that your phone is NOT connected to your PC at this stage and just for clarity - also make sure than your SIM card is still in your phone. (Some instructions say to remove it, don't do that if you want this to work.)
3. Leave your phone alone for the moment.
4. Ensure that 'Samsung Drivers' for your phone are installed on your PC. (If they already are - great. If not, install them so that when you eventually connect your phone to your PC later, you can see it.
5. Next, download the terminal program here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4OYgE4A8WCzckpyTDVuODc4TWs/view It's called Realterm and is only about 12MB. (There are other newer versions of this available, but this one worked for my purposes.) Extract the program and install (running it as Admin) and ensure that all 4 boxes are 'ticked' as you install (i.e. usually 'source' & 'DLPortIO' boxes are un-ticked, so put a tick in both and then complete the install. As the install completes, un-tick both boxes 'Register' and 'Show ReadMe'. Done. You should now have 'Realterm' icon on your desktop.
6. Back to your phone now. With it still stuck at the Samsung Account sign-in window (or any preceding window), connect the phone to your PC. If an 'installing drivers' pop-up appears on your PC, wait for the Samsung driver to finish installing. If on the other hand, you phone connects to your PC straight away, then proceed straight to 'Manage'. (i.e. Right-click on 'My Computer', select 'Manage' and select 'Device Manager' from the left list. Then in the main window select 'Modems', then right-click on 'Samsung Mobile USB Modem' and select 'Properties'. Hit the 'Modem' tab at the top and simply note the Port. It should be Com & a number, for example 'Com3'. Once noted, you can now close all 'Manage' windows.
7. Open 'Realterm' from your desktop icon by right-clicking and running as admin. (a) On the 'Display' tab, ensure the 'Half Duplex' box has a tick inside it. Don't mess with any other settings here. (b) Then hit on the 'Port' and ensure that the port number you noted from #6 above is selected. If it's not, select it using the dropdown option and once selected, apply it by hitting the 'Change' button with the green check-mark to the right. (c) Once completed, then hit on the 'Send' tab. Open the extracted folder where you installed the terminal program from (#5 above) and open the 'code.txt' file. Copy/paste the first line of text to the very first blank box (i.e. directly under the tabs 'Display', 'Port', 'Capture' etc.) Then hit the 'Send ASCII' button. You should see the pasted text in the black terminal window above, followed by 'ok'. Now remove the pasted text and copy/paste the second line from the 'code.txt' file to the exact same location. Again, hit the 'Send ASCII' button. **Now, quickly look at your phone screen as it should be attempting to make a call to a dead '900' number. You need to be quick, but cancel the call by hitting the red phone symbol and 'quickly' hit on the 'Message' button as if you were going to send a text.
8. You should now arrive at a screen where you can send a text message to the dead number 900. In the text field, type 'www.google.com' and send the text. The text goes nowhere, but now you've created a hyperlink to Google that you can follow (as long as you have WiFi on). Follow it by clicking on the link and you arrive at Google home screen.
9. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8.
10. Download it and install it.
11. After installing, you might get a pop-up window to say that PDP Engine needs to be installed in order for Package Disabler Pro to work. If so, install that too.
12. I also found that searching for and installing ES File Explorer was hugely beneficial, because (a) you have extremely limited functionality on your phone (i.e. you can download the programs, but can't just pull-down from the top of your screen to select them as you may be used to doing. As in, they install, but may not be easily selectable so you have to navigate to their location to run them and (b) now that you have partial access again via Google, you need to be careful not to lose your window of opportunity.
13. So, once you've downloaded & installed #9, #11 (if needed) & #12, open Package Disabler Pro.
14. Search for "Samsung account".
15. Once found, click on it, 'Clear Data' and then 'Disable' it.
16. Go back to Google now and search for QuickShortMaker.
17. Install it and open it. (You may need to use ES File Explorer to be able to navigate to it and open it.)
18. Within 'QuickShortMaker' > 'Incremental search' > 'Activities'; search for "Setup Wizard". It should be near the bottom. There are lots of setup wizards once you find it so pay close attention to specifics here.
19. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity". (It's near the bottom of that particular screen but again, you need to pay attention to the small print and ensure you select the right one.)
20. Once you find it, select 'Create'.
21. Done! You can now restart your phone and after you select your language, then connect to WiFi, you will bypass Samsung Account and gain full access to your phone.
After this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (i.e. Settings > Accounts). There won't be, but you won't be able to add one at this point either....
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and re-enable the "Samsung Account" option.
2. Go to Storage (Settings > Storage) and clear all cache.
3. Go to Find my Mobile (Settings > Lock screen and security > Find my Mobile) and from there you should be prompted to insert your Samsung Account details to successfully add your Samsung account.
4. Once completed, you can either choose to do a Factory data reset (from within 'Settings' > 'Backup and reset'. NOT from recovery. Or you can simply restart your phone if you don't need a factory reset and you should be good to go.
5. Done, now you should have your Samsung account registered to your phone and can sync with your account.
This is what worked for me anyway and gave me full access back to my S6 running stock 6.0.1.
I've tried to be as detailed as I could with this post to ensure all necessary steps are there to follow. It may seem daunting to some before you try it, but I assure you it's relatively straightfoward and I had no problems. I hope someone finds it helpful and it recovers your S6 too if you get stuck in a similar situation to me. All the best.
Well done!
It worked well for me! Thank you!
I had such high hopes for this to work on my Samsung S4, but it doesn't I've got to step 7, did everything as you noted, and when i'm copying text and pressing "Send ASCII" button, it appears in the black field above, but isn't followed by "ok". I put in the second part of the text, still no "ok" and there is no call going through the phone.... I'm not able to proceed any further than this step. Why could that happen? Please help!
Linking to here would be better than writing a long wall of text, just saying. Also for S6 to S7 edge you can downgrade from nougat back to marshmallow 7.0 to 6.0 if needed for FRP bypass / Google Account lock.

Decided I should add to the thread after break activation lock on my G900A (S5 AT&T) that had Android 6.0.1. Around Step 8 is where I got stock and used another thread to get the rest of the way in the phone...albeit a VERY long way around.
Instead of sending a text in Step 8, you can click the paperclip and long press google maps. There's some steps to get to the privacy policy / terms of use (I don't have all the things you had to click). From here, most people long press a word or phrase and use web search or assistant. I got stuck again with some security error.
However, the GOOGLE logo at the top of the page is clickable into Google app and voila I can search for Package Disabler. There is a waffle (3x3 dots) at the top and you can click PLAY STORE but it's the desktop version...dam! However, and it gets worse, you can download but not install any packages from app browser b/c it needs permission for storage. This is where it got hilarious. I found a package disabler download page that advertised to install their proprietary app....clicking that advertisement popped me into Play Store app....hurray!
I was able to search for chrome and open it (you can't download or install any apps from Play store)...then continue on with the with steps. I had difficulty getting package disabler installed with PDP but just kept retrying and it eventually worked. BAM....I'm past the setup login and on the home screen. However, still unable to get reactivation lock turned off nor able to factory reset. The option was not greyed out but putting in my samsung credentials was successful (I could even see my phone in Samsung Find my Phone) but reactivation lock still turned on. dam again! At this point i'm thinking to sell the phone with reactivation lock and try to make $20 on it.
After some interesting research, it appeared that Lollipop and Kitkat were not so secure when it came to Reactivation Lock. One thread suggested to delete your samsung account, downgrade to Lollipop first (then KitKat if unsuccessful), then re-create your samsung account with exact email and password, then boot the phone. This is what ultimately did the trick! I used ODIN and backed down to Android 5.1.1. I signed in and the first setup screen after signin asked to turn on reactivation lock. Unchecked and it's gone! I verified in the bootloader that indeed the lock is gone! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
It works on other samsung phones as well. I fixed a mega 2 using this method. Thanks a bunch
I can't see any texting option after cancelling 900 dead dial on Samsung S6

I found a much simpler work around. After you long press google maps, simply open the sidebar menu and press Google earth. It will pop you into the play store app on the Google earth app page. Just search for package disable pro and pdp engine and voila! The only catch is the app itself is $3.45 and I don't think the free version is available anymore. I bought it just to use for this and was going to get it refunded once I'm done. But that avoids the hassle of finding the link that will take you to the store app since I searched endlessly for that promised link to no avail, lol
Sent from my perry using XDA Labs
Also, I ended up having to download an app named blackmart in order to get the PDP app. Even after purchasing through play store. So if anyone needs the apks I can try uploading to a hosting site to save the hassle
what do you mean exactly when you say "android drivers" on your pc?
An opportunity to access phone settings and home screen

After a longer than expected period to sign in, I got a brief pop-up to say "Processing failed". That was it, no other explanation, no other option, no other way around it. I was now 100% locked out of my phone which I have had (store bought from brand new) for 2yrs. I contacted Samsung support, but I think we all know that was a complete waste of time - so I began to research extensively. I came here to XDA first but couldn't find any solution, I then scoured the web and checked a tonne of YT videos. Again, nothing doing - it was all either outdated information, Samsung had patched vulnerabilities, or the methods were just time-wasting idiots posting hoax fixes which did nothing. It was worth it to a point though because I got several tips and picked up some software. Then after about 8hrs, I stumbled across another post from someone here on XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/help/reactivation-lock-bypass-samsung-account-t3625723#post73617288. Massive thanks to him/her. The basis of his/her method definitely works, but I had a few improvements, particularly concerning the dialling of emergency numbers. So, that's the background to the issue I had and how I got to here. The following is the full method of what I did and I can say that I have a 100% fully functional S6 again. I've gone into this detail as I've found that a lot of posts can be a bit vague, so hopefully this helps someone out....
1. On the 1st setup wizard page after the factory reset has completed; select your language, then connect to (WiFi preferably). You then arrive at the Samsung Account sign-in and cannot proceed any further.
2. Make sure that your phone is NOT connected to your PC at this stage and just for clarity - also make sure than your SIM card is still in your phone. (Some instructions say to remove it, don't do that if you want this to work.)
3. Leave your phone alone for the moment.
4. Ensure that 'Samsung Drivers' for your phone are installed on your PC. (If they already are - great. If not, install them so that when you eventually connect your phone to your PC later, you can see it.
5. Next, download the terminal program here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4OYgE4A8WCzckpyTDVuODc4TWs/view It's called Realterm and is only about 12MB. (There are other newer versions of this available, but this one worked for my purposes.) Extract the program and install (running it as Admin) and ensure that all 4 boxes are 'ticked' as you install (i.e. usually 'source' & 'DLPortIO' boxes are un-ticked, so put a tick in both and then complete the install. As the install completes, un-tick both boxes 'Register' and 'Show ReadMe'. Done. You should now have 'Realterm' icon on your desktop.
6. Back to your phone now. With it still stuck at the Samsung Account sign-in window (or any preceding window), connect the phone to your PC. If an 'installing drivers' pop-up appears on your PC, wait for the Samsung driver to finish installing. If on the other hand, you phone connects to your PC straight away, then proceed straight to 'Manage'. (i.e. Right-click on 'My Computer', select 'Manage' and select 'Device Manager' from the left list. Then in the main window select 'Modems', then right-click on 'Samsung Mobile USB Modem' and select 'Properties'. Hit the 'Modem' tab at the top and simply note the Port. It should be Com & a number, for example 'Com3'. Once noted, you can now close all 'Manage' windows.
7. Open 'Realterm' from your desktop icon by right-clicking and running as admin. (a) On the 'Display' tab, ensure the 'Half Duplex' box has a tick inside it. Don't mess with any other settings here. (b) Then hit on the 'Port' and ensure that the port number you noted from #6 above is selected. If it's not, select it using the dropdown option and once selected, apply it by hitting the 'Change' button with the green check-mark to the right. (c) Once completed, then hit on the 'Send' tab. Open the extracted folder where you installed the terminal program from (#5 above) and open the 'code.txt' file. Copy/paste the first line of text to the very first blank box (i.e. directly under the tabs 'Display', 'Port', 'Capture' etc.) Then hit the 'Send ASCII' button. You should see the pasted text in the black terminal window above, followed by 'ok'. Now remove the pasted text and copy/paste the second line from the 'code.txt' file to the exact same location. Again, hit the 'Send ASCII' button. **Now, quickly look at your phone screen as it should be attempting to make a call to a dead '900' number. You need to be quick, but cancel the call by hitting the red phone symbol and 'quickly' hit on the 'Message' button as if you were going to send a text.
8. You should now arrive at a screen where you can send a text message to the dead number 900. In the text field, type 'www.google.com' and send the text. The text goes nowhere, but now you've created a hyperlink to Google that you can follow (as long as you have WiFi on). Follow it by clicking on the link and you arrive at Google home screen.
9. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8.
10. Download it and install it.
11. After installing, you might get a pop-up window to say that PDP Engine needs to be installed in order for Package Disabler Pro to work. If so, install that too.
12. I also found that searching for and installing ES File Explorer was hugely beneficial, because (a) you have extremely limited functionality on your phone (i.e. you can download the programs, but can't just pull-down from the top of your screen to select them as you may be used to doing. As in, they install, but may not be easily selectable so you have to navigate to their location to run them and (b) now that you have partial access again via Google, you need to be careful not to lose your window of opportunity.
13. So, once you've downloaded & installed #9, #11 (if needed) & #12, open Package Disabler Pro.
14. Search for "Samsung account".
15. Once found, click on it, 'Clear Data' and then 'Disable' it.
16. Go back to Google now and search for QuickShortMaker.
17. Install it and open it. (You may need to use ES File Explorer to be able to navigate to it and open it.)
18. Within 'QuickShortMaker' > 'Incremental search' > 'Activities'; search for "Setup Wizard". It should be near the bottom. There are lots of setup wizards once you find it so pay close attention to specifics here.
19. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity". (It's near the bottom of that particular screen but again, you need to pay attention to the small print and ensure you select the right one.)
20. Once you find it, select 'Create'.
21. Done! You can now restart your phone and after you select your language, then connect to WiFi, you will bypass Samsung Account and gain full access to your phone.
After this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (i.e. Settings > Accounts). There won't be, but you won't be able to add one at this point either....
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and re-enable the "Samsung Account" option.
2. Go to Storage (Settings > Storage) and clear all cache.
3. Go to Find my Mobile (Settings > Lock screen and security > Find my Mobile) and from there you should be prompted to insert your Samsung Account details to successfully add your Samsung account.
4. Once completed, you can either choose to do a Factory data reset (from within 'Settings' > 'Backup and reset'. NOT from recovery. Or you can simply restart your phone if you don't need a factory reset and you should be good to go.
5. Done, now you should have your Samsung account registered to your phone and can sync with your account.
This is what worked for me anyway and gave me full access back to my S6 running stock 6.0.1.
I've tried to be as detailed as I could with this post to ensure all necessary steps are there to follow. It may seem daunting to some before you try it, but I assure you it's relatively straightfoward and I had no problems. I hope someone finds it helpful and it recovers your S6 too if you get stuck in a similar situation to me. All the best.

Hello. I know the thread is old but this may help. None of the Samsungs I've used did happen to work with Realterm yet (not saying it does not work). So here is an alternative that can drive you straight into the device setting. There choose "Easy Mode" an boom on the home screen. From home screen tap "easy settings/easy mode an activate normal mode. I tried this method on my Note 4 (SM-N910T) and It worked.
Steps :
1- Download and flash the firmware with Odin or whatever capable box/tool (but ou may skip this step if "lock screen like slide to unlock" is activated in the locked phone). To know this option is on just press power to turn off/on the screen. If you see a lock screen instead of the "choose language" screen go to step 2. If not "DON'T FACCTORY RESET". It won't help. Flash as many times as required until you get to a lock screen. Just off/on the sreen to see.
2- From the lock screen swipe on the "Phone" icon and choose the contact app.
3- On the new call window, tap "contacts" on the upper right then open options (the 3 vertical dots) and choose settings/contacts/accounts an add a google account. This account should have a contact with email in it. For example I added my google account which had many contacts with emailss, I then ranomly chose a name with email and tried to send an email.
4- From email editing screen select the 3 dots of options and go to accounts.
5- A seurity mini window will pop up. Accept it.
6- Boom you are in the settings.
7- Search for "easy mode" and apply it. You'll land on the home screen.
8- You can have access to normal screen by going to easy setting/easy mode/normal mode .and apply.
9- Direct install package disabler and other needed apps from pc or send them to your phone memory an manual install them.
10- Follow the instructions from The..King to bypass now that you can do it.
NB: BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE HOME BUTTON TO GO BACK TO HOME SCREEN OR YOU WILL BE WELCOME BY A BLANK BLACK SCREEN. USE BACK BUTTON INSTEAD. OR USE RECENT WINDOWS BUTTON TO ACCESS BEFORE USED APPS. IF YOU WANT TO CLEAR RECENT APPS KEEP "SETTINGS" WINDOWS AS YOU CAN HAVE THE CONTROL BACK THE EASY MODE/NORMAL MODE.

Hopefully this might help someone who comes across a similarly bizarre situation. I've gone into detail to ensure anyone who tries this has all the info needed, so apologies for the biblical post but this 100% worked for me on my S6.
Ok, so here's the dilemma I was faced with which was a total nightmare. My phone (although otherwise fully functional) was slowing down a tad and becoming quite laggy so I decided to factory reset it (as I've done a hundred times before to several phones over the years). All the usual pre-requisites were carried out (back-ups taken, usb debugging on, reactivation lock cleared, etc.) I proceeded to factory reset the device, all went as expected without any issues. Once completed and at the 1st setup page, I selected language and proceeded. I set up WiFi connection and proceeded. I was then met with the next setup page, my Samsung Account. However, there was a message - "This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you." Well, I naturally proceeded to enter my Samsung ID and correct password, but that's when things got weird. After a longer than expected period to sign in, I got a brief pop-up to say "Processing failed". That was it, no other explanation, no other option, no other way around it. I was now 100% locked out of my phone which I have had (store bought from brand new) for 2yrs.

Works like balerina. I read this post many times. I have no Windows Machine thus I can not use amazing Real Term.
I found bloated 6.0.1 ROM for SM-G925F From Globe Philipines G925FXXS5DRB1_G925FOLB4DQJ1_G925FXXS5DRA2 . I understand the most important is How to open Browser . This ROM give a Golden Chance to access browser. I used other android phone to set up google account via NFC. After completing setting up google account ROM asking to add another email account. So I choose Yahoo > tap sign up > privacy policy it will pop up two option > open using Chrome or Samsung Browser. Choose Chrome.
A. Turn S6E to download mode.
B. Flash the bootloader (sboot.bin), hidden.img, system.img (i used heimdall on gentoo linux)
- heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --HIDDEN hidden.img --SYSTEM system.img
- Nougat boot will booting 6.0 properly.
C. Booting up
D. Setup google account.
E. On the page to set another email. choose Yahoo > tap Sign Up > tap Privacy Policy > this will pop up the browser > choose chrome
From here you just follow above #9 to Finish.

Is there some way to use heimdall in a Windows Machine?
Hello, I bought my Nokia 7 (6Gb ram and 64Gb memory) on Aliexpress. I was able to activate it at first. However I cannot activate it after hard reset by pressing volume+ button and power button, connected to usb cable. All screens I can see on my phone after hard reset are these:
1. Welcome (choose language and country)
2 Insert SIM card
3. Welcome to your TA-1041 (set up as new or move your data)
4. Allow Setup Wizard to access this device’s location
5. Get Connected (When I use WiFi and When I use cellular network)
6. Possible data charges (when I chose ‘Use cellular network for setup’)
7. Checking for Updates (When I use WiFi and When I use cellular network)
I cannot go over to the next step after the step 7. When I activated it first, I chose the option 'Don't use any network for setup' after the step No. 4. But now I do not see the option after reset. It is so incomprehensible to me. I keep seeing only the last screen ’Checking for Updates’. What should I do? Please help me.

i have similar problem. while there is no solution
I sarted the phone after unlock bootloader.
dear
good morning to everybody. I bought the same phone, nokia 7, from Aliexpress. I tried to activate it but i've exactely the same problem. Misin how did you do the unlock of the bootloader? where did you find the new unlocked launcher?
thankk you very much for your help
i have similar problem but I got through it by using "Don't use any network for setup" and leaving user name blank

I really do not see such an option anywhere in the initial setup. Could you elaborate more about the exact steps?
So... your phone is locked from FRP, I see. That's because the seller flashed seriously tampered OS on Nokia 7.
In that case, I strongly recommend you to unlock the bootloader and flash stock firmware by yourself.
To enter the OS: Do not insert SIM and skip the Wi-Fi. If you can't skip Wi-Fi, then your phone is locked from FRP, but I can still provide help.
You can find and repeat the guide to bypass FRP for Nokia phones on YouTube, which should be easy to repeat.

Sorry I quickly forgot the details after getting through the initial setup
From what I remember, after selecting language:
Select "Setup as new"
Do not connect to network and select "Don't use any network for setup"
It should then ask for username but just leave that blank.
passing with blank field
thanks 950505, i arrived to skip the "checking for updates" using the offline configuration but in effect the tip is to left blanck the field name.
now the phone seems to work correctly.
thanks again
some aliexpress sellers put malware on the phone, they get money for doing so, read the low star reviews.
better to flash original

Some might do malware. But what is happening with these Nokia 7 units is that. It does not have an official international firmware. The Chinese firmware only has Chinese & English language. So, they flash this unofficial firmware which receives no updates. So, the phone goes crazy checking for updates which it never finds

I too can't choose an option to skip Wi-Fi. Neither seem the bypass FRP guides to be of any help. They point to some trick in the Vision Settings involving TalkBack. Nothing of the sort is present in my Vision Settings.
Does anyone has any suggestions on how to get past setup wizard? Or for that matter to unlock the bootloader or flash the stock rom in some other way?

Okay, I've found a solution to this. It may even be easier than using the TalkBack method.
1. Start the device (into the setup wizard).
2. Take a screenshot and tap the 'share' icon.
3. Share with 'Add to Maps'.
4. Hit 'cancel' at the 'add account' pop-up.
5. Hit the back button on your phone and confirm 'yes' to discard this draft.
6. You will be in 'Google Maps'. Hit the three lines at the top left.
7. Go to 'settings' and choose 'Google location settings'.
8. Your are now in your settings menu and have many options.
(9.) I just copied an apex_launcher.apk to my sd card and opened it from 'Storage' > 'Internal shared storage' > 'Explore'
10. From there is followed this video guide: youtube dot com /watch?v=FAK21pNMZyc
Good luck!
I tried this method and run onto this problem.
1. Select "Setup as new"
2. I get a "Get connected" window and I have to connect to a network to continue setup - I don'y have "Don't use any network for setup".
