Here's the story, I had a TMobile G1 Retail phone, I hacked it installed a new bootloader yadda yadda and put the Android Dev 1 or whatever is the latest version onto the phone, set it up with a gmail account etc, all is well.
Well the reason I did this is so I could give the phone to my wife who lives in the Dominican Republic, Well I thought to be the safe hubby and put the Visual lock on it and set a real simple pattern for her to remember.
Her friends are dense at times, and repeatedly botched the visual locked until it asked her for her credentials and locked her out of the phone.
Now the catch is she doesn't have any sort of data plan, I don't even know if a compatible service exists with Orange over there.
How can I unlock her phone without it being able to communicate with Google via a data connection, is a hard reset in order? Will that prompt her to set up a new account, or if I remember correctly do you need to even setup an account just for basic phone usage.
I'd just hate for her to lose all the apps/games I put on there with a hard reset or having to track down someone technical over there to push a new install.

No need to get the entire sdk, just send the adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll files.
By the way, if the phone doesn't have a dataplan then i'm assuming it's not logged into Google? If that's the case why not just deactivate the lock screen? The main purpose is to prevent casual access to your GMail/GCal/etc if you were to lose your phone.
Thanks for the reply, and yeah well after she told me what happened, I immediately asked myself the same question, I was busy during the visit and the little things that are important I neglected to conceive.
I should have gone through and turned off alot of settings but I just didn't think about it at the time.
Thanks again.
I got my One about a month ago (first droid phone!) and have been trying to get the unlock code from htcdev.com, but it never sends it. I've gone through the unlock steps for "all other supported models", successfully submitted the Device Identifier Token and just wait for the email it says it sent with the file attachment. It never arrives. I even set up a 2nd account using gmail and the same thing. I've tried from Firefox and Chrome. I have tried this about 15 times now and getting pretty annoyed. Is this typical? Why the hell don't they send the code like they say they did? I manage the server with the email account I initially used, so I have access to all of the raw email server logs and nothing from htc is ever in there except for when I initially created the account and I received the email to activate the account.
All I want to do is get this stupid AT&T software off my phone so I can tether and use the net the way god intended
Since this is my first android phone, I'm not an expert on the ROM scene. From what I've read I probably want to install an International ROM and I believe the only way to do that involves unlocking the bootloader. Are there any other ways to do this if HTC won't send the unlock code for my phone?
I appreciate the help. I love this phone but want to get rid of half the crap that is on it that I can't remove and I don't use a single AT&T app.
I used this method to unlock, read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582

I have an HTC One on AT&T and didn't have a problem. Not sure what's going on with HTC Dev.

+1 on using revone to unlock. The link is a couple of posts up.
Every since I took the latest viperone ota 1.31 my exchange account keeps getting locked and I have to have the pc support people at work unlock it. Anyone ever see this happen or know maybe why its happening?
This thread can be closed. Found out the issue was actually having printer files stuck in the windows spool directory locking out my AD credentials. My phone just happen to catch it all the time so was thinking it was the exchange.
Okay, starting from the beginning.
I bought a slightly used Nexus 6 in excellent shape. When it arrived, I was able to set it up once (with my account, a Google Apps for Business account using my own domain); I set it up temporarily wifi only, waiting to plug in the SIM. After setting it up, I got prompted to upgrade from 5.1.1 to Marshmallow, which I did.
I'm beginning to enjoy the phone, and I look at the Marshmallow version. MRA58K. So, I find that MR58R is out and I decide to upgrade, following the instructions to flash stock recovery. So far, so good. I begin the fastboot process, and it is writing all the files, when it reports it cannot flash the bootloader, it is locked. I missed this part of the step because I was distracted by other events going on in my house, and instead of rebooting the phone at this point to try and unlock the bootloader, I go into recovery mode and tell it to wipe the phone.
The phone wipes, and boots back up as if normal. That is, until I get to the spot where I need to sign in with my Google account. I try signing in with mine, and I can't - I'm told I need the owner account. Great. So I contact the seller, who is a decent enough guy, who trusts me enough to give me temporary access to his account, in the event that's the problem. I can't get in with his account either. Note for my account, I have not reset the password in a long time, and from what the phone seller told me, he has not with is either ( I'm aware of the 72 hour delay if you do).
The phone shows up as a device in my Google Apps for Business account, but I cannot contact it in any way from there. I've tried "fastboot oem unlock" from the SDK tools, but it fails. I can't get past the prompt asking me to log in. Any one who can offer some help here, I'd really appreciate it; if I can get in just once, I know I can fix anything else. I just don't know how.
Additional note - I did manage to remove the phone from the previous user's Android Device Manager, as I have the account credentials. This, however, has not resolved my issue.
I don't get it --I was able to register the phone with my account the first time I set it up. I'm not sure why it doesn't let me sign in with that account now. I had the phone operational for twelve hours before flashing, so I'd think the link between my Google account and it would be just fine.
I just spoke with Google Store support:
Apparently (according to them), regardless of whether you reset your Google account password or not, factory-resetting the phone means the 72-hour wait period until you can get back in begins unless you have removed your Google account from the phone (and/or with Android Device Manager) prior to the factory reset. This was contrary to my understanding of this only happening if you changed the password shortly before resetting the phone.
I guess I'll find out in about two and a half days; I'll update this thread then.
Hello,
Following a crash, I had to do a factory reset in the recovery of my note 8.
Of course, at boot, he asks me the Google account ID. Sadly, I do not have them anymore (email address deleted since). I tried my old ID: it does not work ...
Will a flash of rom stock via odin reset the frp? Or should it go before by an "adb frp tool", then flash a "combination firmware", before reflash the rom stock?
I have already tried all methods of bypass frp before 10/10/18 (sms class 0, bluetooth headset, samsung keyboard settings...)
(I am in N950FXXS5CRJ1 of 01/10/18, oreo 8.0). I'm french.
With proof of purchase, your carrier or samsung service will help you, that's it, WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE

You know when people come in here talking about needing to get the FRP security lock off and then going on to say their gmail account is magically gone or deleted it automatically makes us think the phone is stolen!! People don't just randomly delete their gmail account nor do they forget their password so easily! If it truly is your phone take it to the carrier I.E. "at&t, Verizon etc etc." Because they will be able to easily recover the phone for you quickly!!

Personally I don't buy it.
If you deleted your Google account, you would have been signed out across the board, you need to be signed in to a Google account for FRP to be enabled...
If you are a thief or a 'finders keepers' you will agree FRP is a great feature. Must suck holding this great phone and not be able to use it.

Personally I think it's stolen just by the way he worded that and saying that the gmail account was deleted isn't sitting with me right because then the phone would literally nag the crap out of him saying stuff like the play store can't work, gmail can't work and most importantly as you said FRP can't work without the email.. I'm betting it's stolen.
One time, I went to my carrier service center to activate volte calls, while I was waiting for my turn, an old lady ahead of me explained to the employee her case, that her device was locked, that she had no idea what email or anything else, as her grandson was the one that took care af all those things, she only used the phone to make calls an send sms, the employee said that it was ok, all she needed to do was to provide a proof of purchase, or the contract, and an ID, that was it, she did, and problem quickly solved, so, anybody asking for some way to bypass frp, is obviously trying to unlock an illegal obtained device, period.

That's why I don't even try to help someone who comes along claiming that they magically forgot/lost their gmail account and password information. When he said he deleted the gmail account a while back the first thing that came to my mind was well without a gmail account you can't exactly do much with the phone because everything is going to be nagging you, Google, Play Store, Gmail, Google Services, maps and many other things and FRP can't lock without the gmail account so how could you possibly get FRP locked out.. You could by lying and stealing a phone and claiming it's yours..
Yeah, absolutely right
I certainly understand the views on going to a service center. But no. Not everyone with this problem is trying to cheat with a stolen phone. I just bought a very nice Note 8 (SM-N950U1) for $200 off eBay (from an individual with a 100% record) only to find it is FRP locked and I doubt she knew. Just did a factory reset and sell. So now I have to pay $50 at a service center and with the drive, it will take me about two hours. So some of us do have a legitimate reason to want to do a FRP unlock ourselves. Hopefully, the seller will rebate me the $50 so I don't have to send it back and start my long search for this model, in this condition for what i can afford all over again. Just say'in. Well glad I have XDA forums to let me know my position. - So thanks - Jim
