Bought a Moto X off of craigslist before I was aware of the 5.1 update that included FRP. Since I didn't know about it and the phone boots to the welcome screen like its ready to rock and roll I thought it was all good. Got it home (had to order a nano sim from ST) and the phone kept going back to the credentials page. Later found out its because of the FRP.
Now I don't steal, buy or sell stolen phones so the FRP is a good thing. What's got me pissed is that Google should have the phone return to a bright red screen that says Locked! not to the same welcome screen and setup a normal user sees. Even someone being legit selling a phone, if they were unaware they needed to remove accts and just did a hard reset unaware the next person that bought itwould need the credentials. Of course the seller, at&t and Moto no help. The phone is clean so far as I and At&t can tell.
The phone sat on my desk for 3mos collecting dust. Yesterday I got to playing with it and I was finally able to get past the Lockout (where it keeps going to the Just a Sec page this phone has been reset.....). If you search for settings on the phone it will allow you to get to the android settings to make changes, set developer mode etc..
At the setting I added a User and I can now use the phone, make calls,text, web, youtube etc work.. Google play causes an error msg (bacsically any app that requires a google act).
This is on an XT1097 AT&T so the bootloader is locked. But has anyone done this and would being in developer mode help me remove that defunct account so I can add mine?
If you can get into settings during setup, instead of creating a new user, have you tried initiating a factory reset from within settings?

No that won't help because to remove the account it asks for the password.

There is no way to fix it yourself. You got lucky and found a bug that partially lets you in. But there is no true solution to this other than the previous owner logging in and removing his account.

You're probably right but I'm going to keep plugging away at it. A few things I'm going to try. Been using the phone as normal.
Just a follow-up. The phone has now been factory reset and FRP removed.
Enter these commands in the adb tools cmd line:
Used scripts:
adb devices
adb shell netcfg
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
that will remove the disable flag on the factory reset button and allow another factory reset.
Props to youtube.com/watch?v=boa3uaarbuE for finishing it up.

But How to Enable ADB ?? In FRP MODE ?

So heres the deal. I bought this G1 because the price was so cheap and now I'm tracking down problem after problem. If you've read my post's you know I fixed the simcard port already to recognize simcards and not kill them, second problem reported was the phone would reset contacts every ngiht. I'm guessing this can be done through software updates/ROMS. Well I have Tmo with a full smart card data package. At first the guy selling it puts in his card and its lights up but won't activate saying it needs to talk to googles servers to create and account. He said he didn't have a data plan so I thought nothing of it. I get it home and fix it and load up my simcard and log into my gmail account with no problems, it loads up the phone and everythings great. I hard reset it and give it to my friend. He has the $10 nonsmartphone plan on his account. He puts it in and creates and new account and activates the phone no problems. It gives him full internet, youtube, etc... for about 5 hours. Then it cuts out and says he needs to upgrade his plan to use this phone. No more web or youtube. But whats weird is he could launch his browser and it would load google. He could even search google and wuold get live results. But if he clicked one it went to tmo's upgrade page. So I hard reset it again with the idea I'm gonna root it and repair it or even see if the problem is him not having a proper smartphone plan but now the phone won't connect to google servers with my sim card. I know its find because I can get online with my 3 other phones with no problem. But on the G1 now it sees the bar's and the 3G logo flash's a couple times then it times out and says it can't get a reliable signal to google servers. Anyideas what I can do to this thing? I was gonna root but you have to have the phone on and active to see hwat version you have. Any help would rock!
Thanks

good way to activate it.. to be able to root it and from there can pass the google account set up and figure out the problem..also could be internal antenna issue(just guessing) or can try do a factory reset again..

forget it: just use wifi:
really don’t you just have to:
1. go to rc29
2. on “click android” part setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1
3. on adb: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
1. Just put in whatever SIM you are using, then on the activation screen, hit Menu then click on APN. Click add APN and put your company’s internet settings in (ask your provider for these settings). Then add the data plan to your account for the day and remove it after you have activated the phone OR get a friend with a data plan to activate it for you.
The following procedure can be used if none of the above are available to you…
I. Getting Back to RC29
1. This procedure requires you to be on an old version of Android (RC29 aka Android 1.0) so you must use our unroot procedure first and get to RC29, DO NOT DO THE STEP THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO CUPCAKE, skip it and come back to here once you are on RC29.
How To Get Back to RC29
2. You also need a WiFi connection to do this procedure.
II. Setting Up ADB
1. After you are back to RC29, follow our How To Setup ADB procedure EXACTLY as it is written. Once you are able to see your phone’s serial number after typing ADB devices in the command prompt, then come back to this procedure.
IIIa. Activating the Phone Over WiFi WITHOUT a SIM.
1. Borrow someone’s SIM card then procedure to Section IIIb.
IIIb. Activating the Phone Over WiFi WITH a SIM but No Data Plan.
1. Turn on the phone, you will get a Touch Here to Begin Screen.
2. Open the phone’s keyboard and hit enter once then type the following on the phone’s keyboard:
setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1
3. Then hit enter.
4. Hit enter AGAIN and type the following on the phone’s keyboard:
telnetd
5. Then hit enter.
6. With the phone still plugged in and the command prompt still up on your computer screen from the ADB process, type the following in the command prompt on your computer with hitting an enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd c:\AndroidSDK\Tools\
adb devices
*this should bring up a serial number if your phone is connected, if not then redo the setup ADB process.
7. Now, in command prompt on your computer, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
8. On your phone should pop up the Android Settings screen, you can now choose a Wifi network to connect to then hit back and finish the activation process over Wifi. Enjoy!
I appreciate the tips, but,,,,,, screw android! I''ll just sell the phone off for parts. If I had wanted an iphone I would of bought an iphone. I'm just gonna stick with WM where you put in your sim card, then you can make calls.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I finally spoke to a knowlegable TMo support tech today and found out whats going on. Your simcard has to be told its a G1 or you will get crazy anomolies like contacts dissapearing to not being able to activate anymore. The support guy who happened to be the 1 that was knowlegable said he's seen it hundreds of times with the G1. You put your simcard in activate google and everything works fine for a couple hours or days. Then you will start getting bugs and weird issues. Then the phone won't activate no matter what simcard you put in. At that point you must call Tmo and tell them to activate you phone as A G1 and remote reset it and all will fix itself. Thanks for the help guys.
One more question. Are all android phones like this? Or just G1's? I hate not being able to plug and swap out simcards from phone to phone depending on my mood.
I had an issue with activating as well but after about 12 hours,I finally got it. Anyway..about the G1 thing you were talking about, when I activated mine, I got an e-mail from Google thanking me for activating my Nexus...humm..didn't know I had a Nexus..lol
Anyway,glad you got it sorted.

Its pretty hopeless but maybe will be able to help me.
I think I tried to unlock my phone with a fingerprint with a finger that wasn't registered. Although I think it was. And the phone just cannpt be unlocked using any of the 3 fingers I was regestered with. It immediately going to the PIN screen, which I don't think I have. It gives me the option to reset with google account, but I cannot do it because I live in China and the VPN is off. Of course I cannot turn it on because I can't go into my phone.
Tried with Android device manager, didn't have my samsung account sync.
Is there any way I could reset it in other way?
If not, If I do factory reset will it erase all the previous settings and just give me to Re-setup my phone?
Thank you all...:crying:

I understand what you mean. But If I was a shoplifter I probably would not need to recover my data or photos. Ill just directly do factory reset.
Samsung here In china is useless. Any way I did already factory reset, Now have differen't problems.
Im very pissed at Samsung that has this insane bug that can just make the phone useless, i've used it with no problems for a week or so, all of the sudden, just lock my out , and Fuking China doesn't have google to help me recover..

Why don't you have your password? You have to type it in twice whenever you set finger prints for your lockscreen
Can't you just reset your google account pw on your pc, then unlock your phone with your google account?
After I got out of a long hot bath, i tried to unlock with my thumb print numerous times unsuccessfully, had to unlock by backup pin, which I had forgotten...thought i was outta luck, but luckily I was able to unlock via my google acct.
Honestly though...i tend to agree with Ambervals6...that's what shoplifters say lol

Actually I don't remember that I had the option to set the PIN. But I always do the same one. Now using MX4 Pro, and it works great, Probably my unit had a huge bug that waited to be exploited..
About google, I've explained, If I was not in China I could have unlocked, but my astrill VPN was not running, and I didn't setup samsung account which apperantly was stupid.
I've already bought the "package disabler" from playstore and disabled all the bloat including this..
Any way, i've got very unlucky, today will bring it to samsung service center.
You can install custom recovery I forgot where it is but you can use adb in the recovery to delete fingerprint and passw files and then any password you type will unlock the phone

Unable to access Note 5
Similar issue; unable to access my Note 5 with biometrics, password or Google account (even after resetting Google password). Absolutely ridiculous! I do, on some attempts, see a message that pops up stating, "bootstrap failed" but unsure if that's related to the issue.
I need help to access my phone asap WITHOUT resetting it!!!

To install a custom recovery, the phone doesn't need to be rooted.

You can still fix your device with this issue.
Hi all
So I have an issue I hope the XDA community can help me out with. My girlfriend forgot her phone after a class, panicked, locked the phone via the 'Find my Device' service, but got it back the day after. Shouldn't be much of a problem except that we cannot unlock the phone at all.
1. We can log in and see the phone via the links below. The first link gives the option to set a new password, but since she has a pattern lock this is overwritten. All other functions via these sites seems to work.
https://myaccount.google.com/find-your-phone
https://www.google.com/android/find
2. When trying to unlock the phone it will not accept the normal pattern. She has also tested her previous pattern, but no luck. It tells her the pattern was incorrect and displays a timed delay for the next unlock attempt. She is 100% certain she's using the correct pattern as it is the same as on her work phone.
Even after 20+ attempts we do not get a prompt to reset the password or account recovery via the Gmail account associated with the phone.
3. USB Debugging is not enabled and standard recovery mode. ADB sideload works, but no luck with any of the various pattern reset packages. Normal ADB commands doesn't work (error:closed) so can't remove gesture.key (Newbie in this area)
4. Only reason we haven't done a factory reset is that she's a musician and have some demo files on the phone that were not backed up and she doesn't have any automatic sync going on... Despite I have told her to enable this many many times:-/
So we are getting a bit desperate trying to get the files off the device. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

This is wild. I got my P5 today from the google store, got it set up and was going to OEM unlock when I noticed that OEM unlocking was greyed out. I tried a recovery wipe and a forced reset and it still wasn't fixed so I hit up support chat. They didn't even offer me steps, just said "You're under warranty so lets get you a new phone." Is this typical>?

Yeah. That's happened before. Your phone is black listed. The best thing that can happen is they send you a new one. Two years ago they were able to automagically whitelist us. And we were able to unlock. It's a glitch in the Matrix

Yeah. Your the only one so far. That's great that you said something and got results. Their was alot of us and we were all freaking out.
I had this happen at first (also with the Pixel 2). Bootloader unlock was greyed out until I fully set up the phone including a Lockscreen password, etc. If I skip most of setup and try to do it right away it's greyed out. Check again after just setting up everything and installing all my apps and suddenly I can do it. I think Google does this on purpose to discourage people from doing it.
Thanks, I had read previous threads that brought up that possibility so ive already tried that too
I was setting another phone. The phone will not allow for OEM unlock funcion until I connected to the internet via a wifi connection. After that, I was able to enble oem unlock.
Hello,
TL;DR: I cannot unlock my Huawei P10 device, PIN code was not changed by me, but the device does not recognize it. Need to remove PIN or push forward without resetting.
Long version: I was driving with my device connected through Android Auto, Spotify was playing and I was tracking an order through Uber Eats that should arrive a bit after I got home.
After parking the vehicle, the music died, and so did the phone. After taking the cable out and trying to restart the device, it came back up.
However, even though it accepts the SIM card PIN, it does not accept the Screen unlock PIN (which is actually the same). After rebooting, it still does not accept the PIN and I'm not waiting for 1h before I can try a new code.
In order to insert the SIM PIN, I have to press OK, but the screen PIN does not, I just add the PIN and it unlocks.
Can anyone make heads or tails out of this situation and help me recover access to the smartphone without doing a factory reset and losing all the unsaved data?

Give your girlfriend her phone back if you feel insecure about your relationship it's better to talk to her about it, if you can't do that then it's best to just leave
Also if that is your phone and not your girlfriend's then you might be giving it a hard reset unless you have developer options open with enabled USB debugging and a computer nearby

It's not my wife's phone, it's mine Plus, if I wanted to do such a thing, I just need to use finger unlock
I do have developer options open, not sure about the USB debugging, but it might not be because I've been trying with ADB and whatever commands I could find, but so far no success....
