I found a galaxy s but its asking for a Gmail account so that I can unlock it
Is there a way to completely restore it without having to know the Gmail account?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
You "found" a galaxy S?
No matter how I read this, it still sounds like you f**king stole it. And no excuses for bad English either, you identified yourself as American on your account.
Yeah I found it on the bus.
I tried unlocking it because it had a password on it.
And after a certain amount of tries it completely locked up and its asking for the Gmail account that's being used on it.
And sorry for the bad English
I wasn't aware I was in English class -_-
I'm just asking for some help.
No need too start making accusations about stealing it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
If you found it then when you hand it to the police they will be able to recover the owner through IMEI etc and thereby find the correct log in .
Presuming they are willing to let you keep the phone .

Turn it into the bus company as lost and found...and this is a good lesson to users to set lock screens in case someone "finds" their phone just like this guy did and decide to run up your phone bill.

Who said I was running up their phone bill?
I did find it.
And if they have any sense they probably disconnected it already.
All of you do nothing but judge.
a lady stole my friend sgs luckily she doesn't know how to use the phone at all, its been 3 weeks and i'm still trying to find where she lives
the phone still has the gmail account linked i installed plan b and androidlost but they both needs me to send a text message to activate them and i dont have her number
plan b doesnt seams to works as everyone knows that the sgs with stock rom has a very bad gps lock
my best lock will be with androidlost as it has many features
we already notified the police but with no info at all on her we wont be able to do anything
i would hope if there is any app that would send her phone number to he linked gmail account , or any other kind of apps that may help
The only apps that I know of that will do that are Avast! and Cerberus, but both have to be installed beforehand.
Don't know how to do what you want but i hope you removed any card details from your account so they cant buy things on the app store with your details.
Your gmail account should have the ip addresses it was accessed from this may be of use to the police. This can be found at the bottom right of your inbox.

What carrier is the phone with?
Sprint has a family locator plan that can be initiated remotely. I believe they offer a free 2 week trial.
You can try pulling the call history online with the carrier to get the numbers called
and even request that the phone be traced.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)
Try to contact google, if you have a police report with the IMEI you might pull of a IP log of the people who accessed the acccount, from the you could go to the carrier company with your police report or the cops could do it and they'll be able to pull of her records by the IP.
I can't figure out why the US doesn't enfore locking the phones by IMEI, I remember my brand new iPhone was stolen last year and the cops couldn't do a thing. so I suggest you or your friend do this step by step and hope for the best.
sadly i dont live in the US so all these things are impossible , police wont do **** here , i'm still waiting for plan b to lock on gps but still no email , i'm keeping the gmail account still on the phone because it has no valuble info except for the contacts which are already backed up , and the person who stole the pone is so dump and cant even know how to install or uninstall apps
How do you know that shes that dumb?

Not for stolen phones. Bad ESN if its CDMA or lock it down by calling the carrier if GSM.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
if only some one made an app that will look for a contact name and send an sms to it and the user can save that predefined contact to google contacts which will sync to the phone
so if the app is looking for Joe123 all you have to do is create a new contact in google contact with Joe123 and input you second phone number
then wait for it to sync with the stolen phone then install that app which will send you an sms with the theif number and possibly GPS if available
and once you get that number you can install androidlost and start controlling the phone
thats just an idea and i hope some one will make it true one day
I think the one WiredPirate linked to should work..
You can still install apps via the online play store can't you? Then why can't you install avast?

I just got this phone running again it was bricked by me. When i put my sim card in it shows no service. My sim card is fine. Anyone know how to fix it? My apn settings are what they should be. Idk what to do
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
Can you elaborate what exactly happened ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I unbricked it using odin. Now when i put my sim card in it wont get signal. It was reported stolen then we got it back messed up. She called and told cell one we got it back. So shouldnt they have removed the block on it?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
I think the problem is with the sim & not with the phone. I think they haven't processed your request properly, for which they might want you to provide some additional proof to confirm your identity. You might wanna recontact them. And have you tried this sim on other phones & other sims on this phone ? If yes, what was the consequence ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
well i must admit that this thread has very informative 'title' (not o mention subject)
Yes I use it on my regular ace 5830. Works fine and everything. The stock rom I flashed was an at&t firmware. Then I flashed ace-i-sure to see if it made a difference. Nope.
Sent from my TB782B using xda premium
So let me just recap on the information you have provided so far...
1. You bricked the phone yourself
2. You then reported the phone as having been stolen
3. You managed to unbrick the phone using Odin
4. You reported to your network provider that you now have the phone back
5. Now the phone still has no network signal
Sounds like you might have an issue with the Karma chip
But seriously, under Settings / About Phone / Baseband... what does it say there?
I believe xxla2
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Yea just checked its s5830ixxla2 I flashed ace I sure to see if it might fix the problem. It doesnt
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I think you did a big mistake reporting it as stolen. I ain't able to find a hint of what could open the doors to link the exact problem in the software with any rom. But by far, it seems to me that they might have disabled the phone from connecting to a network as you reported it to be stolen or it might happen to be a hardware issue. In any case, you might wanna go to the service centre.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I'm thinking of just calling them to see if it's been blocked if so they should remove it as we have it working again. we've already bought a replacement.

hi my names nina and i am a innocent woman that bought a phone off this guy on craigslist for 100 dollars .he said it would work on T mobile and he said it was unlocked and he lied, its locked!!:crying::crying::crying: i gave it to my brother to try and bypass the samsung account screen, he spent days on you tube trying to root or do whatever you guys call it, i don know. I'm really stressed out because its supposed to be for my new job that takes this rabbit software for android .i can't use my iPhone for this app. XDA is my last resort to make use of this s6 active or I'm screwed because i don't have more money to buy another phone:crying: .its in mint condition and is water resistant and its doing nothing but sitting on the table!! Some one please save me ,my job starts in 5 days !
ps . theres no way to enable OEM unlock or usb debugging .whatever the hell that means ,my brother told me to put this on here, hope it helps.
What exactly is it telling you? Does it seem the phone was stolen? Have you checked the imei to make sure it is not blacklisted? I believe swappa.com has a free imei check to see if it's tied into another person's account. $100 seems a little too cheap for this device.

I haven't worked with it in a while. But, go onto Samsung’s website and bring up the support page.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
Select mobile and fill out the info it asks you.
After you installed the software, look for software recovery. I'm on mobile right now, I'd give you a direct link to the software otherwise.
