Hi everyone, I'm sorry if the question I have had already been asked before, I looked the forum thoroughly, couldn't find an answer. so I apologize for the repeat post.
I have the HTC Vivid (AT&T) about week or so ago I upgraded to Android 4.0.3(ICS) and since then I could no longer find the options that allow me to install app from untrusted sources. whenever I try to install an app on my SD card it would pop up saying "Install Blocked. For security. your phone i set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market." then I will have the option to cancel or go to settings, but when I go to settings it brings me under security menu and I do not see the option to check install from untrusted source. I know I had the option before when i was on Android 2.3.4, but I lost it after I did the upgrade. FYI I did not root or flash roms. the Android 2.3.4 i was on was stock came with the phone and 4.0.3 I downloaded and installed from HTC website. is this HTC's doing? or AT&T basically just screwed me?
thanks in advance for any type of suggestions.
Under security there is a device administration at the bottom of the screen when you first open the security settings options and it had a check box labeled unknown sources

all i see under security are
Screen Lock
Sim Card Lock
Set up SIM Card lock
Passwords
Make passwords vivible
Credential Storage
Trusted credentials
Install from storage
Clear credentials(Grayed out)
so it's safe to assume basically AT&T screwed me over

There have been a handful of other users who's option for this disappeared after doing the OTA. Running the RUU fixed them I do believe

You are missing the Device Administrators section between Passwords and Credential Storage. See screen shot in earlier post. I may have this because I had set my phone for unknown sources before the upgrade. So, the setting may have carried over from the earlier settings.

Probably where I'd start - it will wipe data FYI. When you upgraded, did you upgrade OTA or did you run the RUU?

I had the same issue when I did the update this afternoon. All I had to do to fix it was to activate your phone’s USB Debugging mode by going to Settings > Applications > Development then check the box next to the USB Debugging option.
Turn off your smartphone then boot to bootloader mode by pressing the Volume Down key while holding the Power button.
Then perform a factory reset.

I had the exact same symptoms and I finally figured out that if I disabled "Advanced Protection" in Lookout app, it un hid my Phone Administration options under security and I could then put a check mark in the tick box. Are you running any "security" oriented apps that might have done the same thing to you?
In security the option you are looking for is unknown sources.

I've never used any other market to download apps, however that option has always been on my Vivid, even after the OTA upgrade to ICS. The Device administration, with the unchecked box, is right there in the security section.

Yeah, mine was similar. I had untrusted sources checked before the upgrade to ICS, now the option is gone. I can still use untrusted sources, though, so I am OK, at least for now.
I've just discovered as soon as I setup my work exchange account is when I lose the untrusted sources option. If I remove the account, it comes back. Here's the kicker - if unknown sources is checked before I setup the account, unknown sources are still allowed, even though the option is not there. If the box is not checked before setting up the account, I lose the option and the ability to install from unknown sources. Anyone else? Try..if you have an exchange account setup and have lost unknown sources, remove the account and see what happens

Brilliant! I verified this on mine by deleting my Exchange server account (hey, I'm not working there anyway...). Untrusted sources reappeared in my security settings. I then re-created the account and the untrusted sources disappeared.
It may have to do with the administrative things that are required for the Exchange account. I believe that is some sort of security setup for the server, but I suspect that is what hides the untrusted sources.
As you said, it hides it. If it was checked before, it still acts as though it was checked. If you remove the Exchange account, the option reappears and is checked. Therefore just hidden, not removed. That is good, because it means you can delete the account, check the untrusted sources, then recreate the account and everything works.
Oh, and by the way; I use Enhanced Email instead of the default Email app. In fact, I uninstalled the default Email app. Therefore, it is not the app causing the hiding, it is the security administration option that pops up after setting up the account.
Enhanced Email, by the way, handles Exchange accounts much better than the default Email, and is much easier to set things up. I got if free from Amazon on their App of the Day. Highly recommended.
Great find, thanks for that information!
I also use Enhanced Email. It is a very good alternative. I could never get settings to stick with the stock email and exchange.

No unknown sources available
Hi all,
I am new to this forum and I recently bought HTC Vivid unlocked phone from my friend. I noticed that I have the exact same problem where I am missing the unknown sources check box and unable to install any outside play store apps. I tried everything given here in this thread but nothing helped. I havent done running RUU again as I dont know what RUU is. Also I think my phone is not yet rooted. I have NQ Mobile Security app installed on my phone, & even after uninstalling this app nothing helped.
I've attached the screenshot of my phone Security Settings. I'd really appreciate if I can get help in this regard.
Thanks.

So no matter what ROM I flash I start setting up, select my language connect to WiFi and then I get This Device was reset blah blah I sign in to my Google account, the only one that has ever been used on this phone and it sends me right back with a toast pop-up that says Please Sign Into One of the Owners Accounts.
I've not changed my password or anything I just want to flash a new ROM, tried Pure and Chroma and both do this. Bout to toss it out the window.
are you using up-to-date gapps/the ones that the rom recommends? An out of date/incompatible "setup wizard" can cause this.
I've used the recommended Gapps with both ROMs
Enabling OEM unlock in Developer options stops this behavior. But, you have to get Android fully working first.
EDIT: I always forget this. Go into your account on the PC and remove the device from it using the Android Device Manager. That should eliminate your sign in problem, though it will also likely delete any backups Google made of your apps and settings.
Hello
I have been running official android m on my Nexus 6 with unlocked bootloader. I just used Nexusroottoolkit to flash the official android n factory image and then I locked my bootloader. Now when I boot I have to verify my gmail to use my phone. And I have no idea what gmail adress I used. I haven't changed the password on the gmail I used. What should I do?
Remember your email address. Because when you locked the bootloader - a foolish thing to do - factory reset protection kicks in. Unless you can recall which account you used you'll be locked out of the device.
Is there nothing I can do?

When making a new Google account the system will check the username.
Do not activate a new name, but try to find an existing name. Maybe it helps to remember your forgotten Gmail account.
Some people remember things with the help of a hypnotist ?.
Don;t give up remembering.
Thanks for the replies!
I will never remember the gmail i used, it was a random mix of numbers and letters
I have got into the phone and I can install apk's but there are no methods to get rid of the FRP on android 7.0 yet. (security patch October 5)
Is it possible to sideload the stock 6.0.1 image from the stock recovery?
Or is the only option to replace the mainboard?
If you're in, turn on OEM Unlock in developer options and then unlock the bootloader. This time, leave it unlocked and keep OEM Unlock turned on!
Doing those two things will ensure FRP doesn't bite you in the ass. And next time, use an email address you can remember.

Great idea! It would defiently help if I would find the Gmail account since I know the password for it. Where do I find devices.android.com? I didn't find it in Android/data
Hi everybody, I don't know if this will help all you but this is what worked for me (Android 6.0.1):
1. On the setup wizard (after factory wipe), connect to internet (wifi/data)
2. Select "Emergency call"
3. Call to any valid number (112 for example)
4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works).
5. Select browser.
6. Go to google.
7. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8
8. Download it and install it.
9. Open it and search for "Samsung account".
10. Click on Clear Data and then Disable.
11. Go back to google and search for QuickShortMaker
12. Install it and open it.
13. Search for "Setup Wizard", it will expand.
14. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity"
15. Done! You can now use the phone and restart.
Ok after this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (Settings>Accounts), buuuuut, you can't add it . What I did was:
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and enabled "Samsung Account".
2. Then go to Settings>Back up and reset
3. Factory data reset
4. Asked for Samsung account and I inserted my real account.
5. Done, now I can sync with my account.
The oooooooonly issue that I can't figure out it's the way to remove the "Reactivation lock" from Settings>Lock screen and security>Find my mobile.
Well that's all hope it works for you guys.
If this doesn't work for you, you can check out unlockjunky, they will definitely be able to do it.
Good luck!!

Mate, you are an absolute legend! I've been searching for 8hrs looking for a solution after hard resetting my phone and being unable to get past the Samsung Account lock afterwards (even though I had the right username & password!) About fifty useless/outdated YT videos & a few hundred websites/forums later - none of which were helpful, I finally stumbled across your post, despite it not showing up 8hrs ago when I came straight to XDA hoping to find a solution first.
I have an improved method for #2, 3 & 4 of your post and will add all relevant info soon (just need some kip now that the panic is over). I'll also expand a little on some details and include further options which worked in my particular case, but all n'all - you're an absolute legend mate and I'd be screwed & still panicking without your shared info. Huge thanks...

You have to dial an emergency number or this trick doesn't work. Its not practical for most folks but if you are worried about dialing an emergency number I'd recommend using a SIM out of a tablet that isn't phone number enabled.

Look for Aptoide apk download it to sd card and search for package disabler in this app and install it or download and copy Pachkage disabler you your sd card and run via file explorer or download and run ES File manager as I did.
when i make the call my wifi gets turned off and wont come back on till i restart the phone. i managed to open the browser but the wifi is off so i cant do anything after that except cry.
stock 5.0
Did you get it figured out I got the edge 6 plus to work fine now it was one of the tougher ones and I've done a few on some newer models what are you stuck on?
I thought the Combination Firmware would reset the FRP lock by default after being installed.
first thank you for sharing ur experience and i want to add
that i done it step by step and it works nicely but still cant remove the reactivation
and here is how iv done it after i bypassed it using ur method
i flashed a lower modem file from stock rom N910VVRU2BOG5 which is 5.0.1
at this point my imei went off
so i went for full flash by N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME. which is 5.1.1 and did full hard reset
then i just signed in with the last Samsung account i used with ur method earlier and it passed so now i can easly remove reactivation mark , unlock and root then make it Arabic .
thx again
Did you ever post up the suggested steps to replace #'s 2-4 in the original post above? I'm not seeing them anyplace. This would be a big help. Thanks.

I successfully used this to gain access to my phone but I believe that if I power cycle it I will be locked out again. Is there any way to remove or change the samsung account now that I am in? The options are greyed out in settings.
ADB and Root.
Hey, I have been working on these for a while keep finding new things each time I try to remove Reactivation Lock. However I was wondering if I show you guys how to enable ADB with RSA Key, and Root the device. Could someone show me how to remove the Reactivation Lock using root. I used other methods on older and newer models, but these S5's are the only ones giving me issues.
After weeks of going mad trying different solutions I've found online, here's what worked 100% for me just last night:
Login to Samsung Account on other device, select Password & Security, enter password then choose Devices. LOG-OUT of your S6 Edge if listed, confirm. Next change password - doesn't matter what, can even change it back afterwards.
Flash Lollipop (I used G925VVRU4BOK7)
Wipe Data/Cache
Boot fresh Stock firmware, enter/confirm network details, at Reactivation Lock prompt, enter user & updated password. Sign-in....
Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Find My Mobile. Unselect Reactivation Lock and enter password... voila!
Works for anybody else??

First Of all I want to thank you all for helping me out.
So it was google that updated their Google Account Manager apk so you can't login in this way In order to make your device "thinking" that this is the last account that was synced with the device.
and I realized that I should get some older version of GoogleAccountManager In order to fake the frp lock but the current version is blocking any older installation of it. In my case GoogleAccountManager 7.0.24 blocked the installation of GoogleAccountManager 6.0.XX(think it was 23).
So I decided to go a little rough on it and Downgraded the whole device Android Version (found a stock 5.1.1 for t817A model) In order to force the GoogleAccountManager application to downgrade also.
Some people complained that the FRP blocks their try to change android version but it wasn't my problem so I don't know how to help here.
after the downgrade I was able by using QuickShourcutMaker then opening GoogleAccountManager to login my account (many tutorials around the web), restarted the phone and TADAM, works like charm
My dad bought me a used one for the New Year (as I wished) and unfortunately it is FRP lock.
SO I've searched on how to disable this lock and I found I'm able to open google chrome settings but with no success further.
I've seen people enabling USB debugging then some how disabling that lock but I think google blocked my access to developer options so I think I'm pretty stuck ..
also, I have the option to send it back to the store overseas but I would like to try saving some time and unlocking it by myself so any ideas guys?

Search for an app called QuickShirtcutMaker. Download, install and run it.
Type ACCOUNT in the search field. Look for SETTINGS(add an account) then tap Try.
Create a Google account then log into it.
If it creates the account then you should be able to use the new account to bypass the GOOGLE login.
Reboot first.

Now im feeling stuck agein but thank for the fast answers 'till now :good:

Hey,
I purchased a Samsung Note 8 (SM-N950F) a couple of years from Amazon.de. The phone was unlocked, since then new OS releases were really slow so I decided to download the Pie update from Sammobile and updated my phone via Odin. The phone is using official firmware and has never been rooted yet when I try to activate Google Pay I receive the following error; "Couldn't finish setup to pay in shop. This phone can't be used to pay in shops. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way."
I spoke to Samsung and told me to check a few things and they confirmed the phone is not rooted, I spoke to Google and they told me I should ask Samsung how to unlock the bootloader but Samsung said doing this would void my warranty. I'm a bit confused as to what to do, is there a stock pie rom I can use without voiding my warranty?
Thanks a lot, appreciate any help
Regards
p4rma
The only thig i can think of is that, the phone you've got has a CSC code of a region where Google Pay is not supported, or maybe you are living in a country that do not support Google Pay.
If you think I'm wrong, flash stock pie firmware.
Flashing stock offiicial binaries doesn't need your bootloader to be unlocked.
Thanks for the quick reply I will try this. Would Samsung have their own stock pie rom? Kinda wish I just waited for the pie update rather than flashing. Its annoying I can't use Netflix either as it says my device is not compatible.
I just checked and my bootloader is N950FXXU7DSJ1
Hey there,
I also faced the same issue when using GPay. I recommend trying these steps, might workout for you (it did for me):
Before doing this I recommend Backing your phone up, sometimes phone might erase user data but I didn't lose data.
1. Goto Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Build Number (Tap this thing 7 times). It should display a toast saying Developer options has been enabled.
2. Go back to Settings > Developer Options.
3. Turn on USB Debugging first, just in case.
4. See if OEM Unlock is turn on, if it is then turn it off.
5. Try turning it back on if it is turned off, you phone will reboot if you do so. Once rebooted, go back and turn it back off.
You shall be able to use Google Pay.
Note: These are the exact same steps that I did and it started to work for me.
As for changing CSC its a little complicated (by rooting its way easier but then you will lose Samsung Pay & some other Knox features). You will need to do a couple of steps and it also leads to erasing of user data.
If you don't wanna risk anything, why not try SPay. It might be supported in your country.

It has been permanently fixed for me, I never faced any issue with GPay after that method (I don't use Netflix though). Could you also see if you phone is updated to the latest version, if so also check if your phone has a fix for Stagefright.
To check if you are vulnerable to that exploit download this app it will tell you Click Here . If it fails, try OEM unlock as off and see, might fix it.
I really hope this issue doesn't come back for you.
