Anyone out there willing to help guide me through the process of getting the retail mode removed form a samsung galaxy s5? Of course Im willing to compensate you for your time if we can get it to work.
Ive got no experience with Rom's and or installing a rom and the basic passwords have not worked on getting the software removed. Any help would be appreciated.
PhoneDoctor1
Which S5 model have you got?
Make a free account on sammobile dot com (Links are not allowed here)
Type your model S5 into the firmware section and download a ROM
Grab ODIN 3.09 or later (Easy to find with a quick google)
Extract the ROM from the zip, should end up with .MD5 file
Install Samsung drivers (Easy to find with a quick google or Installing KIES3 will also install them)
Put phone into download mode (Power off, then hold Vol down & Home & power, release when the warning appears and hit volume up when asked)
Connect phone to PC USB and wait for drivers to complete installing
Load .MD5 ROM into AP or PDA section of ODIN
Make sure only 'F.Reset Time' and 'Auto Reboot' options are selected in ODIN
Hit START on ODIN and wait for it to complete
All being well, your phone should reboot into the ROM, take a while for first boot, especially if you flash a Lollipop ROM (give it 15 mins+)
Some people find it hangs on first boot, and need to boot into recovery mode and factory reset after flashing the ROM
Same results.
*Detection* Thank you so much for your prompt response and help with this. Unfortunately the steps you provided didn't work for me. I was able to Get Odin, download the correct ROM, drivers, and everything. I installed the ROM on the phone (Took 4 minutes) though ODIN and it stated that it succeeded. Phone restarted and retail mode was back on the phone.
Any other options to get it removed?

Some instructions here on how to disable retail mode
http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-disable-exit-galaxy-s5-demo-live-unit-retail-mode/
How to delete, disable and exit Demo Live Unit Retail Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S5
1. The first thing to do is to disable the retail mode of the firmware.
2. Go to the app drawer and open an app called Samsung Retail.
3. Go to Configuration Settings and enter the password 5444 to unlock it.
4. Then uncheck “Disable the factory reset” and enter the following password M729Q16K8546.
5. Turn your Samsung Galaxy S5 off and boot into Recovery.
6. Go to Wipe data & factory reset and press OK.
7. The phone will reset and all the applications will get removed.
8. Flash a stock firmware with ODIN (tutorial).
There must be something different about this retail mode. It looks different than the others shown in previous posts or youtube videos. I can't seem to disable the app and the passwords don't work. Ive seen a few youtube videos on how to remove it and the one I see doesn't look like the one thats on this galaxy s5. Any other workaround to your knowledge?

Not that I know of off hand, I`ll post back here if I find anything, it might be quicker to take it to a phone shop and ask them to disable it for you

Which version S5 have you got?
Just noticed this thread for the G900X to disable Retail Mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733083
Ive got the t-mobil version here in the states. I did see that thread before I posted mine but that wont enable me to make calls. It will most likely turn the phone into a wifi capable phone without cell service.
Sorry, I meant which model S5, mine is the G900F
I take it you bought the phone second hand? Unless someone else can help I think taking it in for repair would be the best bet if those tutorials are not working
I would like to know how you got into retail mode!
And, of course, your model. Its in the system informations.
I had a similar issue with a laptop once (purchased the display model).....
The only thing that fixed it was formatting the hard drive and re installing everything from the recovery discs......
I guess the equivalent for Android would be to flash a PIT file (I think this will reformat the memory) then the firmware (both) with odin........
If you DO go this route, be EXTREMELY careful to flash the CORRECT pit file as flashing the wrong pit will irrevocably brick your phone.........
Sent from my rooted kn0x0 stocKK SM-G900F S5
I appreciate the help and responses. From my understanding the retail mode can not be removed. It seems that Samsung specially designed these phones with software that can't just easily be flashed.

I had just about given up on a straightforward fix, and was about to resort to some major firmware manipulation that would have likely led me to all sorts of confusion. It turns out the password was "rethink" as is listed in multiple places across the web. (AT&T SM-G900A Galaxy S 5) It is applied to the Samsung Retail Mode app which has a "burger" icon in top right corner of the screen that must be selected first to lead towards password entry. This is not the "Retail Experience" app, but the other similar one. Once the Retail Mode app is uninstalled, there are intuitive steps leading to uninstalling of the "Retail Experience" one next, with no new passwords.
Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910F and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"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."
Shortly: Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated
I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?
(phone is never locked, bought from Cosmote Romania, now Telekom Romania)
Thanks.
Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated - [ SOLVED ]
Hi guys,
I've succesfully deactivated the Samsung Reactivation Lock on my Samsung Note 4 SM-N910F - Android Lollipop 5.1.1. !!!
I'll tell you in detail how I did it. After 5 hours of data mining and documenting myself, I've gathered all the necessary data to do it.
Statement: On Samsung Note 4 with Lollipop 5.1.1, the Samsung Reactivation Lock cannot be deactivated!
In order to do that you need to downgrade it to KitKat 4.4.4. (thanks to brayhanrd for coming up with this downgrade-first idea in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/reactivation-lock-root-custom-rom-t3097964#post60511431
It can be done following these simple steps:
1) Downgrade the Samsung Note 4 software version from Lollipop 5.1.1 to KitKat 4.4.4 - using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone which can be downloaded from www.sammobile.com.
(Obs: if it was purchased from Verizon then THAT's the version you need to get it. I'm telling you this to avoid a lot of downgrade failures because of mismatch files and Odin writing errors, believe me, I read a lot about it today! )
- Downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat instructions and all the necesarry files to do it (e.g. Odin) can be found here: http://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-note-4-how-to-downgrade-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat/ (thanks to Doug for documenting this )
If downgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/S9ONzxqPvaG
2) A work around to be able to turn off (deactivate) the Samsung Reactivation Lock can be found on this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U23TdbqJehA
- Long story short, the video emphasize what you need to do to get into the phone's Samsung Account, trick the already locked account and re-register yourself with a new (yet existing) Samsung account, which later on, will be seen by Samsung as the phone's default account, thus allowing yourself to register with it. What this guy's doing, basically is using the Text to Speech Samsung update to get logged in to the Samsung Galaxy Apps with this new Samsung account he created (or already had). From there, he gets back to the first phone setup steps and use this Samsung account which will be recognized by Samsung Reactivation Lock as being the default account (because he already signed-in with it into the Samsung Galaxy Apps) and voila, passed the protection.
3) Turn off the Samsung Reactivation Lock: After you tricked the Samsung Lock screen and passed over it reaching the classic, well known home screen, go to -> Settings -> Security -> and find the "Reactivation Lock" option and UNCHECK it! It will ask again for your Samsung account password, insert it and - ONLY THEN - you will have turned off the Samsung Reactivation Lock.
4) Upgrade back to Lollipop 5.1.1: same instructions here, first, upgrade only with stock image made specifically for your Note 4 version, to ba taken from www.sammobile.com or any other respectable place.
If upgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/U0BgITnrMmzi
Voila! you have a fully functional Note 4 phone again!
I hope this post will help you spare those 5 hours I used for reseaching these things!

Not possible to downgrade 5.1.1 to 4.4.4
Funny you say you downgraded from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 because everywhere I've read the consensus is the new bootloader makes this impossible.
Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/downgrading-5-1-1-t3206848/post62923032
"If you upgraded your boot loader past OB7 (OE1, OF5 or OG5) You can no longer downgrade."
I tried your intructions anyway with the proper stock rom for my SM-N910P with 5.1.1 (OG5) and no dice. Odin failed right away.
Thanks anyway!

Let me help you further because IT IS POSSIBLE. I've done it! Are you sure you read my thread correctly where I've stated that:
...using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to download a stock version of 4.4.4. specifically made for your phone version, model and mobile operator.
maybe for the sm-n910f but not the sm-n910p
I greatly appreciated your response, I spent almost the entire day yesterday working on this with no success.
Just so you know, I did in fact download the stock rom made specifically for my sm-910p, here:
http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/
I'm on N910PVPU4COG5 now which is Lolipop 5.1.1 now.
I tried downgrading to N910PVPU1ANK2 Kitkat 4.4.4 and no go.
That is definitely the stock firmware for my device.
I did a factory reset & wiped cache first, then tried flashing with odin and after a successful md5 check it failed.
Not sure but maybe because you had the international version the bootloader is different?
But again, I'm sure it didn't work at that seems to be the consensus everywhere else too. that once you go above OB7 there's no going back on the N910P.

I would suggest to not give up just yet.
Verify the following:
a) From the page you gave me http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/ - I know it sais there It cannot be done, just ignore that - did you installed the Drivers on your computer before you plugged in your phone?
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
Try Try Try Again...
Thanks for your advice. I would like to downgrade and so haven't given up just yet; you gave me hope (even a shot in the dark)!

A: Yes, I have installed the drivers on my computer and successfully flashed with odin before and my com port is detected, everything is working on that end. However, I read today someone said they could only use odin 3.10 to flash without it failing so I will try that too.
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
A: No, I'm going to try the older version of KitKat 4.4.4 next, N910PVPU1ANIE
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
A: OK, I will try this and report back.

Samsung Reactivation Bypass Alternative
Hi all,
This is my first posting and reply to a thread. Hope all is doing well.
After many many many attempts to either bypass or deactivate Knox's reactivation lock.. I was finally successful. I"m sure you can imagine how i was jumping up and down..
Any who, here's how i did it:
What you need:
1- An OTG Cable
2- A USB flash drive
3- Samsung Google bypass
First thing I did was factory reset my Verizon Note 4 from the recovery mode.
If you have another android phone available, that would be useful. Take the OTG cable plus it into the extra android phone and plug in your USB flash drive. It will either pop up or ask you to reformat the drive. You want to make sure that the USB flash drive is compatible with android devices. If you don't have an extra phone, reformat your USB flash drive using CMD (format Fat32.)
After that's completed, plug your flash drive into your laptop/desktop and drag the file you downloaded (Samsung google bypass) to your flash drive.
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM!
Power on your android phone, after it turns on, plug your OTG cable into your phone and attach your USB flash drive. Wait a few seconds so your phone can recognize the new hardware. A folder from the flash drive should pop. Now run the Samsung Google Bypass file. This will take you to the settings on the phone. Connect to your WiFi.
Click on the Security tab and check "Unknown Sources" and then click ok.
In the same tab> Click on where is says "Go to website". That will open a browser. If for any reason you don't have that option in that tab, in the settings options, click on "Accounts" and add your gmail account to the phone. Go back to the settings options and click on your Google account. We need to get this to the browser.
After clicking on your account, scroll down to where is says "Smart Lock for passwords", go ahead an open that up.
You will see "Google Account" - Click on it. That should take you to a browser.
(If for any reason with those option don't take you to a browser, search the settings section to find a way. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY)
Now we are almost done!
Download Aptoide> It will ask you all the prompts to install> after its done, click on open.
Download Knox> it will ask you to upgrade> go ahead and upgrade it> after thats done, open up the knox app and create a new account. This will now save to your phone.
You can unplug the OTG cable and restart your phone. But before doing so, make sure that account is was successfully created.
You will go back to set up wizard. Go ahead and set up your phone. You should not have any problems now.
Hope this works for you as it did for me.
Thanks for reading

Forgot to mention, when you download the Samsung Google bypass, make sure its a APK and if its in a rar file, unzip it.

sm-n910p blocked
Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910p and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 5.1.1. to 6.0.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"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."

I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?
Note 4 (N910C)
MY phone n910c is running to 6.0.1 Android Version.But i want to costomized Rom to install it.No Recovery is installed because it binary blocked by Reactivation Lock.How is it possible to Turn it off. I tried best but no problem solved.
Help me out to turn off reactivation lock.
Yo, so glad I found this thread. 4.4.4 saved my note 4
Hello guys
I need your help with an issue I'm having with my J3 2016, I had an issue with battery draining so fast so I tried a factory reset through the recovery, not knowing that it will get locked and the bad thing is that I don't know the email that was used on the phone. I tried every tutorial, even the one with the settings apk using an OTG cable, the one with sidesync too, I would guess that these were patched by Samsung and no longer work. Any possible way to get back my phone?
Thanks!
Nothing? :/
I was wondering the same exact thing.. A friend of mine dropped his Verizon varient off to me to bypass Google lock but the sidesync fix doesn't work with it. I was hoping that I could just downgrade the firmware and then bypass it but from the looks of it there is no previous firmware to downgrade it to. So I am in the same boat. If anyone has had any success bypassing it please shed some light on how you dod it.
Take the stock rom and flash the phone with ODIN
It will wipe everything including the hidden system and boot partitions and replace them
Call 911 look for a browser button. Hang up and push Samsung browser agonist at same time. Download galaxy app, then es file explorer. From there go to the apps open chrome, go to rootjunkysdl.Com, then frp then bypass apk and sparse fix. Hit back until you're back in file explorer install bypass apk. Hit the dots up top, use browser sign in. Log into Google. Back to settings remove Google and factory reset from settings.
If browser not there but text is when calling 911 text 911 google.Com and send it. It turns into link and follow from browser step

I know this is a fairly old post but would this process work for an alcatel pop 5051x ? I assume the answer is yes but thought id check
yes but you don't use ODIN, you need to use fastboot protocol

I was messing around with Package Disabler, trying to remove what I felt was bloatware, but after removing some of the default Samsung applications I realized that I am no longer able to add a Samsung Account onto my phone. In the Settings menu under "Add account" the option for a Samsung Account is no longer listed. Frustratingly, because of this I am unable to log into any Samsung apps, including the Galaxy Store, which now force closes whenever I try to download any applications. Trying to sign in to my Samsung Account through any other Samsung app such as Health does not work either. I've obviously tried to re-enable all disabled applications via Package Disabler without any success. I've tried booting into Safe Mode without any luck. Short of factory resetting my entire phone, is there anything that I can do? Thanks

I was messing around with Package Disabler, trying to remove what I felt was bloatware, but after removing some of the default Samsung applications I realized that I am no longer able to add a Samsung Account onto my phone. In the Settings menu under "Add account" the option for a Samsung Account is no longer listed. Frustratingly, because of this I am unable to log into any Samsung apps, including the Galaxy Store, which now force closes whenever I try to download any applications. Trying to sign in to my Samsung Account through any other Samsung app such as Health does not work either.

No, I've never rooted it
Have you tried rebooting the phone after you have re-enabled all apps. Just a thought.

Then do this:
-On your PC download latest firmware for your model and country via Frija or Samfirm.Then download Odin PatcheD made by 3B and Samsung USB Drivers.Install the drivers.Extract the file download by Samfirm/Frija and you will have 5 files.Open the downloaded Odin and in AP section put the file with AP in it (it is one of the 5 files).In BL slot put the file with BL in it.In CP section put the file with CP in it.In CSC section put the file with Home_CSC in it.If in the CSC section you put CSC it will wipe the data.If you put Home_CSC if will not wipe the data.Power off your phone and Hold Volume Down + Bixby and plug in an USB cable(preferably the one that came with the phone.It should enter download mode.Press volume up ( Just press do not hold).In Odin make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked in the options tab.Press start and wait. After that you should have a working phone with your data and warranty.
Hello. I also did the same thing when I tried to uninstall a lot of bloat/system apps.
What I remember is to get the "Samsung Experience Service" module back.
Good luck.

That was it! I installed it on the Play store, and all is perfect. Thank you to all of you!
