Ooooh... That's tough. The only place I've heard of any kind of fix is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/relock-bootloader-time-updating-to-5-1-t3053497
But, I don't think your situation applies... You're probably SOL.

There's no fix. You can try fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata. If that doesn't work, there's no fix.

I wouldn't yet. Someone may eventually find a fix. But yes, you're going to need a new phone in the meantime.

Just a random thought; so what is covered by warranty? Say an internal connection was to get detached and the phone just won't power up, I think that would probably be something they may honor and replace the phone. I would not go back to the same place you tried to have it fixed, I would contact Motorola direct.
Again just a thought without thinking through all the scenarios nor with any thought of the morality of it.

He probably locked the bootloader and had oem-unlock disabled in developer options, and now he can`t flash anything and the phone has no OS.

"Hello Ms. Motorola, yes my mother called earlier today, she thought my N6 was in some sort of loop or something, man you know how moms can be. It just won't turn on, I have no idea why, I just know it was working great 1 minute and now, nothing. OK, where do I send it? Thanks"
The crap part would be if someone finds a fix after the phone is damaged. But, before you do anything, make the call.
I see many many threads regarding how to get free tethering, so I don't feel this is too out of place. Again, everyone has to work out for themselves whats right for them.

I'm thinking abt getting a n6. Can u elaborate a little more? Wouldn't "unlocked disabled" mean locked, so that phrase would mean the same as a locked bootloader which he did?

Since 5.1, you need "enable OEM unlock" set in settings to unlock the bootloader. If it is not set, you cannot unlock the bootloader. It only stays set until you boot up.
So some people update then immediately lock the bootloader. Then their phone won't boot so they cannot set "enable OEM unlock" so they're screwed.

You have to enable oem-unlock after every boot, it will not stick after a reboot.

No. The "enable OEM unlock" setting allows you to boot to the bootloader, connect to a pc and use the "fastboot oem unlock" command to unlock the bootloader.

I think we're confusing the issue. It doesn't need to stay ticked. All it stops you doing is unlocking the bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, its unlocked.
The only reason you'll need to tick it is if you relocked the bootloader and then wanted to unlock it again. But this is dangerous because if your ROM breaks and you're locked, you cannot then unlock.

With OTA should be fine.. If something goes wrong during ota thats covered by warranty, but i was impatient to wait for it, so i did for my self over USB thats not covered by warranty like when u **** up something with root permissions.. This method is not the original updating method. but its a bit confusing because this was an official google suggested method (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) Terms of use, i accepted hurray!

"Send it in for repair mate, off course its fixable in a servicecenter but not by us consumers."
I did it and they cant repair it.. No way to access to that software part

[Q] Thoughts on unlocking bootloader on locked nexus 6

I bought a nexus 6 and it is locked with the anti theft thing...cant get ahold of the seller and it doesnt show his info on the nexus at all. anyways does anyone have any thoughts on bypassing it ? I did try to sign into mine and it does sign and checks for update and then immediately signs out. Maybe a modified DNS server ? I also did try to reset it ..no lucky, also tried to flash android 5.0 but says boot loader needs to be unlocked. Is there a way to unlock boot loader without doing it in settings ? I did also try to fastboot oem unlock but says to do it in settings. I was thinking maybe modifying the stock image and go into the build prompt and change the value of the start up wizard to remove it but then the bootloader thing gets in the way. Someone help

Need to be unlocked. Can't unlock if can't get to settings. That the whole theory of the security. Need that password. If you even reset without deleting your account and change your password can't get back in for 3 days with your own account..

you can log in with a new account after 72 hours, after changing your account. that's the only way. if you can't remember your google account, I'd write it down somewhere if I were you

thanx to replay tell me plz can we downgrade 60 to 5.1.1 using adb?

72 hours I think is a time limit related to changed password.
If you forgot your password, you probably can't change it. I you can't, you have no options that i know of without using that special android N mentioned in the video.

hi brothere hi all frinds
thanx to replay so sorry to late i was at my home:angel:
no its locked so we cant unlock boot loadewr at this moment becausr its frp on ????
can we downgrad to 5.1 without unlock and with adb ????????????:silly:

According to Google, FRP is also in Android 5.x. The fact the OP is getting a FRP prompt means OEM Unlock is not enabled. Further, the OP just yesterday resurrected this device by installing the Android N Preview, and likely flashed the standard image afterward. This would mean his bootloader is locked.
There are no alternatives here that I can see. The OP needs to remember his password on this device or his computer in order to get back in. Downgrading is not possible with a locked bootloader.

any idea about 60 google account

One thing that may work is resetting the password to the account on the PC. Once you get back in you should be able to remove the device from the account using the Device Manager. There is no way to get in to the phone without knowing the password, so the PC is your best hope, if you can't remember the password.
Ideally, you want the password you used, which is the easiest way to fix this.

hahahaha no thing impossible

I don't believe anyone has found a way to bypass FRP since the March update was applied. Since you likely got the image off Google's page where the images are offered, you installed the April version, which will have that hardening of FRP. You're right in that it's not impossible, but it is very very improbable. If you can't bypass, can't remember the account password or even the account email, then I guess you're looking for a new device.

How to Flash TWRP on Samsung S10 without unlocking the bootloader?

I need to flash TWRP on a Samsung Galaxy S10 phone without unlocking the bootloader.
Is there any method to do this? I couldn`t find anything helpful on google.
The reasen why i need to do this is because i my aunt forgot her pin and also her google account connectet to the phone, so i can`t use the phone to unlock the bootloader.
I need to flash the device first with TWRP and install a costum ROM (that`s the best way i know).
If anybody has another idea how to get into the phone he is welcome to share it.
Cheers,
Thomas

you cant

Is there any possibiliti to reset the samsung s10 without pin and google account?

If the device doesn't actually belong to your aunt (as stated in the other thread), but has been found somewhere, the correct course of action is to hand it in to the police. Thread closed.

Question I have a note 10 pro With a Mi account lock

I got this phone as a gift from my relative but its MI account locked(xiaomi frp) so I cant use it and my relatives just don't have access to their old account and phone number so I have no way of accessing the mi page and unlocking from there so anyone have a way to bypass this FRP or remove it? Please any help would be appreciated cuz I really need a phone and this would be very useful

MI account locked, or Google account locked? You can delete the Google account from the phone. You can wipe the ROM via Fastboot and reinstall it using a stock image source, then get a fresh shot at logging into MIUI, but not sure it is required. You have to type in the account details, it isn't automatic. I did it to unlock it but now I see it no longer is logged in. My suspicion is because of system updates, etc.

Google frp is simple to remove, As for Mi Account, seems to be happening a lot on here, surely the previous owner wouldve removed his details and accounts and reset the phone before passing on or selling. NOT saying yours is, but this usually very common with found or stolen phones, hence the need for security. If its Mi account locked your probably going to have to get in touch with Xiaomi and maybe pay for a service center to do it, but they absolutley will want proof of purchase or gift to ensure it is what it is and indeed not a stolen phone.

Places like CEX in the UK now wont buy 2nd hand phones unless thats been dealt with or icloud locked Iphones, but you are right, if someone is passing on a phone they really need to make sure all associated ownership is removed, Xiaomi compared to others seems to be an issue getting it resolved.

I assume you can't get into Recovery either? Any Xiaomi-created desktop tool will want you to log in. If it allows that, you could use different Xiaomi credentials. I know there is an ADB/Fastboot Xiaomi desktop tool but no experience if it will get you through a locked Fastboot.

Oh. Try wiping data, i.e. phone reset. If that doesn't help, it might be one of the system apps holding the Xiaomi acct. Since you can use ADB, that gives you a full ROM install capability. External SD will help for that. I do not have the ADB syntax handy. I have done this myself, but Googling will help. Recovery might allow you to connect to ADB via your PC, as well. You can isolate which Xiaomi app handles account verification and you could first try updating or removing it or wiping its data via ADB. The "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools.jar" shows all the ADB features it does manually, for which you can use ADB manually. Be prepared to update your desktop java/jre if you get an error launching the .jar with a double-click. You can also reveal the complete ADB syntax. The syntax includes "adb shell" plus other required syntax commands in an Admin command prompt. Google is your friend. Good luck.

uh no u cant install anything like twrp from the sideload(its not a full access adb)

Google should have some suggestions if someone else has an idea. I can't picture just sideload without full adb capability. Use an admin command prompt on your PC. Perhaps some info on how/why it became locked this way, even if the original owner can't or won't help, via Googling I mean. If some security feature in the phone was trippped, it might be intentional to keep you from using it, but I find it really hard to believe non-nubes can't just crack it.

The protection is there for a good reason, for both the owner and Xiaomi.
You can access EDL but you still need Xiaomi authorized service account to do anything in there. There's nothing you could do except go to Xiaomi service center along with complete materials of ownership that the real owner really cannot unlock it.
Some illegal box might be able to reset it via EDL, but beware their method is never guarantee worked and it might totally brick the phone.

If you have access to Cousin, all you need is his email. Then hopefully you can reset password and unlock it.
