Reactivation Lock Problems

Recently I stumbled upon a problem with my Note 4 where the reactivation lock prevented me from booting and would show “Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock” . The fix was posted on XDA.

1ΒΊ Open Odin (v3.09 in this case)
2ΒΊ Reboot the phone in download mode (Volume down + home + power button)
3ΒΊ Volume up to continue
4ΒΊ connect your phone to pc and certificate that is recognized by odin showing the com port
5ΒΊ certificate that the check boxes “Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time” are signed.
5ΒΊ in odin chose “AP” and select something to flash in phone like (CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5) or (philz_touch_6.41.6-klte.tar.md5) and hit “Start” button, probably it generate a error, doesn’t matter.
6ΒΊ unplug your phone from pc a remove the battery
7ΒΊ plug the battery and power on your phone
