[Q] Thoughts on unlocking bootloader on locked nexus 6 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Far as I know if it it is locked to his account there is no way without his password. If used paypal file with them to get money back.

Yea. It pretty much a paperweight as it is. Lot of people selling them and don't know they have to remove their Google account before resetting and selling.

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..

Don't think stock recovery will let you flash recovery from within itself. Would lose adb as soon as tried I would think.

N6 factory reset protection password

Hi guys, i got a Nexus 6, bought to a friend, but i did a factory reset and now is asking me for the last account used in the device, i ask to my friend and dont know (the phone its a gift from his father). Android 5.1 and there is no way to know wich account were used in the device.
Please someone can help, the bootloader is locked, cant unlock because "android debbuging" is off. Can i flash a special stock images or something?? or what can i do to pass this vrification?
thanks.
@fernando2610
You have to enter the username and password for the last person who used the device. There is no way around this. If you can't get that information, then this device is useless.
If bootloader is locked you're Sol!

No offense to you but let's hope not. It is a theft deterrent
have him ask his father. his father would know his own username and password. if his farher doesnt know, then id say that there's something fishy going on with that phone..
Thanks again. I ll ask his father, maybe he can talk with Google to solve this.

I still don't see the problem. On every PC ' father ' can login to his google account. And when he has forgotten his password there is a password recovery protocol.

Has he changed his password lately? I think you have to wait awhile correct me if I'm.wrong
if he resets his password for you because he doesnt know it you will have to wait 72 hours i believe before you can even log into that phone.

I understood from the OP that the father didn't even remember his password. So he won't be able to reset it. Catch 22.

Not sure on that. Though if you have an unlocked bootloader, the device protection is useless anyway as you can just flash it back to stock and if you're rooted / modified, locking the bootloader is quite a dangerous thing to do (if you get in a bootloop and cannot get into custom recovery, with a locked bootloader, you're screwed).

[Q] I think I hard bricked my N6

Hi there,
So I just bought a brand new N6.
Did nothing to it, did not unklock the bootloader, di not flash anything.
Just ran it a first time, set my account, donwloaded the 5.1 OTA when proposed to and then it was over.
After the OTA installation my phone displayed a dead android and "Error".
When rebooting my phone, the apps are "optimizing" undefinitely and then the phone will restart.
I tried factory reset from recovery, that did nothing, I mean, the phone will still bootloop endlessly.
My bootloader is not unlocked so I cannot flash my phone..
Is there anything I can do ?
Thank you in advance

unfortunately, that might have been your only option. as you need to boot up first, to enable unlocking of your bootloader, to reflash the factory image. and you cant boot up

id get the phone refurbished, from google or from motorola, since it wasnt anything that you did, but was the updates fault. btw, that happens, very rarely, but it does happen that updates can cause issues.

One last question, since my phone won't stop rebooting endlessly is there any way to turn it off ? Long press on power does not do anythng, it will stil restart...
Edit: I found how to turn it off through bootloader.

Sorry to come back on this thread.
So now I have noticed that when in fastboot, if I type "fastboot oem unlock" I'm getting the popup proposing to unlock bootloader.
As I never selected USB debugging nor enabled developper option when my phone was working, I doubt it would work properly.
Would I have any chance to recover my phone if choosing to unlock the bootloader ?

yes! if you can unlock the bootloader, then you can flash the factory image via fastboot while youre in your bootloader. which would fix you not booting

grab a factory image, and read directions for flashing a factory image. you want to flash each individual file inside separately, instead of using the flash-all script.

(Although it's a bit strange that I was able to unlock bootloader without usb debbugging mode enabled no ?)
This is very interesting indeed. To the OP, where did you purchase the device? I find it very peculiar that you were able to issue the OEM unlock command without using the toggle in settings.

I don't think you can downgrade your bootloader, I think the only way is to install the next developer preview bootloader and then you would be able to downgrade it to an earlier version

He has a N6 where he's locked out of the device and unable to activate it. Either he forgot the email addy and password he used to activate it, or he purchased a phone from someone else and got locked out because that someone else didn't remove their account from the device prior to selling.
In any event, his legit options are to try and remember the email and password used, or to try and get the seller to remove their account from the phone. Otherwise he'll have to try and bypass the FRP.

I tried all solutions for bypass and other sources after youtube, but as the nexus the whole time comes the first time Android the newest and latest security patch, if I remember correctly at the October 5th when it came out the official version 7.0
@bombonel: With Factory Reset Protection in play you must know the email address and password used on the phone in order to progress in the setup. Entering into the bootloader in the phone's current state and attempting to unlock the bootloader using fastboot will not work. Unless you can get into Android and toggle the Enable OEM Unlock option in the hidden Developer Options menu you will not be able to unlock the bootloader.
Your available options are as follows.
You need to know the email and password used on the device.
If the device was purchased used from another person, you need to contact that person and have them remove the device from their account.
You need to start looking at methods of bypassing Factory Reset Protection.

I talked to the person from whom I bought the phone arrived in this State, the person from whom I got did not know how long does factory reset after 5 minutes of thought got stuck and enter to recovery ans wipe data and cache wipe, having the account and all saved and knowing that the first boot takes thought and got stuck and to give it to me , started that night fix to change the password to your gmail account and deleted and sync and all of his account and the phone became useless. Because it communicates with google server over the internet, but only synchronized with the old account and no password only, and tried to contact the folks at google and with whom you can, but make no result if the wrong person irreparably.

FRP remove fail

Hi! My sister recently did a factory reset to her phone, but now it is asking for the Google account. She doesn't remember it. I tried to bypass the FRP lock with the Talkback method but it doesn't work. The phone has the latest Android updates installed so I guess they have patched that bypass thing. My bootloader is locked. Um, I have tried to downgrade the Android, also I have extracted the update.app files and tried to flash them via fastboot but it says "command not allowed". Anyone with an idea? ? Thanks!

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.

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.
