I have a Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T which doesn't boot. I tried recovery with Odin, but I get "<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)". The download log shows that the reactivation lock is on and most likely that is the reason authentication fails. Is there a way to turn the "reactivation lock" off somewhere on the hardware?

well the reactivation lock is samsung's version of google's frp (factory reset protection) so as long as you have the info for your samsung account you should be fine. just log into your samsung account anywhere and deactivate it.
