Galaxy s6 6.0.1 samsung acount reactivation

So i bought a used s6 sm920f internation version with android 6.0.1 and a samsung acount lock. The guy on ebay said he bought it and the guy he bought it from won't help hom, so he sells it now.
Because it was cheap and I often flashed some phones I thought it would be easy to bypass. But I haven't found a way even after houndret tutorials, so I wanted to flash a stock firmware through odin, but when I started the download and failed with the message: " fail device: 3 binary: 2" and I don't know what to do now. It was a 5.1.1 rom and I checked the drivers and it was recognized as Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device and as com4 or com3 in odin.
I can enter the recovery and download mode.
How can i get th device working normal now. I don't care if I have to install a custom rom and not a stock rom, just anything that works!
Thanks in advise!

Sorry. Did it show reactivation lockn in download mode?.
Edit: Again sorry. As the title say it is.
You need to find the last firmware the phone on. That's an issue because you'll never know without booting into android. Have tried smart switch?.

Use smartswitch emergency recovery , samsung have put in place some issues with the Bootloader, moreso if you're on a newer bootloader then you cannot install a firmware which has a lower bootloader

When you downloaded your firmware for odin, was it the very newest update? Or an old one, I've noticed some older firmwares fail to flash due to being on a newer bootloader

Hey, nope. Didn't manage to get passed it. Nothing so far. Really looking for some help on that issue but no luck so far. If I come up with a solution, I will post it here.

Dang that sucks, idk what I'm going to do to unbrick it.

Hey, so I have the bootloader problem too and I think we have to wait for the nougat update for the type of phone you have. I have a galaxy s6 tmobile so I think I have to get nougat and flash that when it comes out for tmobile. You have to do the same I think but for now Im gonna send it to samsung and act dumb. Hopefully maybe they fix it and send it back. Do you think they will accept my phone though? It was rooted and had nemesis rom. for nougat port from s7 edge. Also current binary is: Samsung Official. System Status is: Custom. They can see knox is tripped since the counter is void: 1.

Hey, it depends if you have warranty on the phone or not. If you have warranty, it will not cover your expenses because it's void after unlocking bootloader and rooting. If you don't have warranty and you are paying them anyways, they should have no trouble accepting it. Who would deny taking money. I hope they can fix it for you and I'm sorry we couldn't figure out how to. What you said about Nougat is true. I have checked that information as well. There is no Nougat for TMobile yet. We just have to wait. Again, in the mean time if I fix it, I will post my solution here.

Help! Inverted X axis + sw rev. fail

Hello guys I need some help I have looked all over and don't know what else to do.
For me the problem started when I tried to install a new custom rom, I was running lollipop and went for the marshmallow version of the rom. As the developer indicated I updated the bootloader / Modem to 6.0.1 and TWRP to the latest version. The install went perfect except that when I finished installing my screen was inverted over the X axis. ( I think I installed the edge version on my flat SM-G920I phone) By the way for some reason my phone was showing model number SM-G925F from the time I rooted it a while ago. That is what threw me off.
Any ways I have tried *#2663# with no luck and also Samsung Info app to use the secret codes and the *#2663# is no there so that doesn't work I think that code doesn't work on 6.0.1 , My next option was to downgrade to 5.1.1 and I get SW REV check fail.
So I need some help to either get my screen back to normal on 6.0.1 or to downgrade to 5.1.1
THanks for the help!

Download a firmware and flash it with odin

Try downloading Shortcut Master (lite) from the play store. It may give you access to the 2663 code. Otherwise, as above.

What firmware? I have tried it with 4 different firmwares and no luck
The problem is that I cannot downgrade to 5.1.1 even with the original software

Hey,
I also wanted to unroot my phone. I have all the same reasons.
I had upgraded to Oreo before rooting. After root, I had flashed the PartCyborg Rom which was Nougat. My current software version is G955USQU1AQK1.
Also, when I start my phone into downloading mode i noticed a change - RPMB fuse blown which was something different before rooting (Tried attaching an image, but doesnt allow me since I do not have 10 posts)
When I try Odin, it does absolutely nothing. Can someone please help me with the correct firmware file

How do i revert my Samsung S8+ firmware to the correct version?

A while back i had tried installing the android pie update for my samsung s8+ in canada and of course it did not work. As always samsung takes 100000 years to put out an update and its still not here. Anyways i havent received any updates since and my software version is probably not right. I was wondering if it will automatically update when android pie comes out or if it wont update at all. Also the device security isnt working so thats a bad thing thats why i want to try and revert it. Thanks, sorry for the unclarity if any.

And the software for which version did you flash exactly? I assume you have a G955W variant? If so then it should be as easy as downloading the latest firmware from fw.updato.com or search Google for Samfirm and use it to download the latest firmware for your phone. Flash via Odin and it should be back to normal.
