[Q] Device protection question.

If I flash a factory image on my Nexus 6, will the device ask me for my google account, or does that only occur with a factory reset.

If you wipe the data then yes. I assumed since it's gonna be a whole ddffrent OS. Then yed

Click the top link in my signature for info. Especially if you are thinking of re-locking the bootloader.
You should remove your Google account and any security pin/password/pattern lock before hand. Then do a factory reset from settings before you begin. Safety first.

Giffgaff said they'd need the device protection taken off
"Don't forget to remove your PIN or lock code, and any other kind of protection so the phone fixers can turn on your phone and confirm the issue."
However it can be turned on and the PIN encryption is gone, I just don't know whether they will need my google account to get further into the phone seeing as it's a factory image flash. I can't lock the bootloader because i can't see anything on the screen and I cannot force it off without it auto rebooting.

If the screen isnt working, they can see the issue long before getting to boot up. To turn off device protection, you must remove the google account before a factory reset. You obviously cant do this without seeing what you're doing. And you wouldnt want them to have access to your google account. All you can do is flash factory and send it as is. Device protection isnt going to prevent them fixing a broken display issue.

On a PC or any other device with a browser you can access your Google account. Than change the password.
That is the first thing I should do ....

Just remember, you have to wait 72 hours before performing a factory reset after changing your password.

Yes. Two things to do, when sending the device for repair the display.
If possible flash a factory image.
Change the Google password.

Why change your Google password? They cannot get into your Google account if you factory flash or reset.

Because many people has gmail and other passwords in browser's memory and other data.

By flashing the factory image, in its entirety, all of your account information would need to be entered before you could use the device again anyway. After the repair process, when the device is powered on, they would only see the start up screen, as if it were a new device.

True.
OP wanted to avoid access to his device by others. In general it is good practice to change password from time to time.
It is a point of view. Do not rely only on the security of a system.

I agree. That's why in my first response, I said that very thing. However with a broken screen, he could not do this from his device. So it was recommend that he do it via the web. But with the new features of security, you must wait 72 hours after changing your password before factory resetting. I think it's a time issue and the OP wants to get their phone off to be repaired.

If your device has been wiped and you reset your password, you cant sign in for 72 hours after the password reset.

you got a point.. will check other threads and see if they are also having such feature.. (ie s6, s6edge, note and post it here.. so that all will be aware.

If you have a working backup of a Lollipop rom:
-restore it
-boot
-enable "OEM unlocking" in 'Developer options'
-wipe
-flash M
> no 'device protection' anymore.

I dont know what exactly you mean by this but probably not (voice comunicate?), not. I already tried Android device manager (via google, pc), but when I change PW it just say something like "changed PW is not needed" :/. I read about ADB (cant, no root), and many technics for android 5 and 4.. but on Android 6.. IDK :/

pls MOD lock this xd I factory reset the phone..
exp gained : never drink from 18:00 to 5:00 :/

Question Help on Factory reset.

I wanted help resetting the device. My brother forgot his lock screen password and to reset to factory settings he needs the password. I tried to recover by google find my device but as the device was turned off, it does not connect to the internet. is there any way to reset it? i tried support but they said i could send the device to their tech support in china, but it would be too expensive.

The easy way; get your "brother" to remember the password.
Or bypass the FRP lock... Google it.

if the problem was the google account I could, but I can't even reset the device because it asks for the password. when I click on the "forgot password" icon it tells me that if I forget the password it cannot be recovered and in order to use the device again I would have to take it to their technical assistance to restore the factory settings. i could reset it by google find my device but when i log into google account it can't connect to the device because it was off. and to start it it asks for the password.

You already have lost the data on the phone as the password is tied to the encryption.
