Abnormal Factory Reset- Cannot Connect to Wifi to Login

I just had the same problem, samsung support says i will have to send it to a samsung service center to reflash the software. You have to first get a ticket created, then send them proof of purchase, then they will send you a shipping label so you can send in the phone and wait for them to fix it and return it back to you. Unless you are near a samsung walk in service center. Good luck

Need to sign into my Samsung acct on a galaxy s5 that says its locked du e to abnormal factory reset. Way do I do now?

Here's the situation folks. I encountered the same problem. I called the Samsung tech line spoke to a representative and after a half-hour of troubleshooting I was sent to the technical support representative who told me that the only way to solve the problem was to send my device to a Samsung Service Center to have the software flashed again. I told them that I own this phone and that all I did was a standard factory reset and now I can't get in. I was told by Samsung that there's nothing I can do as the user. They insisted I send it to a Samsung Service Center. It is my opinion that after years of people having this problem Samsung should have fixed it, but Samsung makes money by having users send their phone to the service center and ultimately end up buying another Samsung phone if this does not work. Samsung is making money off of our misery. I found a permanent solution: I took my phone outside, gently placed it upon the ground, picked up a rock several hundred times the size of the cell phone and crushed it. One user up in the comments said sell it on Let Go and have it some become someone else's problem but this is unethical and b*******. I wonder how long it is before the Samsung phone I have now does this to me. I'm done with Samsung I'm switching to Windows phone.

I was facing same issue,i couldnt connect to any wifi network due to abnormal reset so i entered the recovery mode with the bixby + volume up+ and the power button. I cleared the cache memory and rebooted after that i was able to coonect to my wifi and my phone is working perfectly fine now. ;-)

How can I do a factory reset on my phone and totally erase the memory of my phone my husband put some kind of something on it that prevents me from totally eraseing it? When I do a factory reset it doesn't bring it back to shelf life please help!

Get an account on let go and make it someone else's problem

please help me find the password on my galaxy five it keeps saying abnormal reset

I'm facing the same issue has anybody found a way around having to send it to samsung?

I was able to fix this by connecting to a completely open wifi hotspot (I used another phone) that had no username and password.

If you go to the sign in page for the Samsung account type in your email address then press and hold on it for a second or two let go and the copy.paste.cut options come up on the far right swipe left and the assistant option should be on the far right of them all press it press the Google logo when the Google page comes up press the first letter of what you want in the search bar ie s for settings or C for chrome i for Internet you should be able to get someware by using this for whatever your trying to accomplish.

Go to the WiFi list scroll down to add network push 5 or 6 random letter's then press and hold your finger on top of them for a second or two and let go you should see a row of boxes with copy.cut.and so forth but one should be the Google assistant press it and then when the google search bar is showing touch it and then type in the letter “S” and the symbol for settings will appear press it and scroll down to accounts and sign in with the add accounts option.
