  1. Greetings;
    I’ve a Samsung Tab S2, that I bought third-hand. There was a delay (2 months), before I could put in any time to work on it. I tried the factory reset, and it went okay, until it wanted the original account information. I’ve tried the offered options, but it appears the security has been changed. I attempted both methods, and neither has allowed me to resolve the issue.
    To further limit my resources, the individual from whom I purchased the unit has now moved away, to an unknown location.
    Additionally, while I’ve been trying to resolve this, I purchased a different unit (same model), from another source. He apparently really ticked it off, before he sold it, and then went off the radar; upon power-up, it decided to jump to “ODIN MODE.” The screen says DOWNLOADING… DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET.
    Do you have any suggestions for either device?
    Your time and information are appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Kit

  2. I just finished unlocking a S7 but the way you showed didn’t work, because I couldn’t open chrome from the network usage page. I will say I am not 100% this is what unlocked it, I was playing with it a lot.
    I had the sim card out and I force stopped the setup wizard, then inserted the SIM card. It kinda gave a error, but when I restarted the phone it worked.
    I did go through the whole setup process once before during the above, so I dont know if that effected it or not.

  3. So frustrated! I have a Note 4, SM-N910T3. My file explorer doesn’t come up when I try the OTG method. The RealTerm doesn’t show a modem at all in my device manager. I’ve tried Kies, SideSync – nothing worked. The switching off the wifi DID work and I got into the lock screen with the camera, but unfortunately my camera mode didn’t have a download option. I did take a picture and went into the gallery to edit it, but it tells me, “Unable to open Gallery from the lock screen. Unlock your device, open Gallery, then allow the relevant permissions.” And, as you know, if I put my pattern in, it just goes through the motions back to asking for the previously connected Google sign-in. UGH! If I had known I would go through all of this, I would never have reset the stupid thing. I feel like it’s just a waste of a phone.
