How to activate S5 without Samsung account?

[Wais777]

Hi,

I've bought a 2nd hands Galaxy S5 from a customer. But I forgot to ask the google and samsung account and password.

I have tried the following solutions, but without result:

1) Hard reset, with Power button+Home+volum Up and choosing factory reset.
2) Flashed the Phone with Odin V3.09 with this firmware (G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXX1AND3_XEF)

The Phone ask me this:
This phone is blocked because it was reset in an unusual manner. Sign in to the samsung account that you have already sgined into on this phone to confirm that it belongs to you.


So guys, Please help me to solve this problem. otherwise I should use this phone only for parts.

Thank you

4- You are ready to install the new firmware files into your Samsung mobile, Click Start button to begin.
5- After you click the Start button, Odin3 program will start to install the selected firmware files into the connected device.
6- Odin3 program will restart your Samsung mobile automatically after installing the firmware.
7- Wait until your mobile is restarted.

Its a new security feature called 'Reactivation Lock'
You should get it into download mode and flash the latest version for THAT device only.
Did you try to flash the firmware again, and then after that restore factory defaults?

I've searched over the net for methods, and the methods I found - none worked. Even other users posted they had no success. As of today I came up with my own method that works and has been tested on SM-G900V and I'll be testing on other devices as well. Video will be posted tomorrow on youtube with the tag #mattastechservice
