If your device has been wiped and you reset your password, you cant sign in for 72 hours after the password reset.

Nope. Wait 72 hours. Its the change of password that's done it.

you got a point.. will check other threads and see if they are also having such feature.. (ie s6, s6edge, note and post it here.. so that all will be aware.

If you have a working backup of a Lollipop rom:
-restore it
-boot
-enable "OEM unlocking" in 'Developer options'
-wipe
-flash M
> no 'device protection' anymore.

[Q] Device protection question.

If I flash a factory image on my Nexus 6, will the device ask me for my google account, or does that only occur with a factory reset.
If you wipe the data then yes. I assumed since it's gonna be a whole ddffrent OS. Then yed

Click the top link in my signature for info. Especially if you are thinking of re-locking the bootloader.
You should remove your Google account and any security pin/password/pattern lock before hand. Then do a factory reset from settings before you begin. Safety first.

Giffgaff said they'd need the device protection taken off
"Don't forget to remove your PIN or lock code, and any other kind of protection so the phone fixers can turn on your phone and confirm the issue."
However it can be turned on and the PIN encryption is gone, I just don't know whether they will need my google account to get further into the phone seeing as it's a factory image flash. I can't lock the bootloader because i can't see anything on the screen and I cannot force it off without it auto rebooting.

If the screen isnt working, they can see the issue long before getting to boot up. To turn off device protection, you must remove the google account before a factory reset. You obviously cant do this without seeing what you're doing. And you wouldnt want them to have access to your google account. All you can do is flash factory and send it as is. Device protection isnt going to prevent them fixing a broken display issue.

On a PC or any other device with a browser you can access your Google account. Than change the password.
That is the first thing I should do ....

Yes. Two things to do, when sending the device for repair the display.
If possible flash a factory image.
Change the Google password.

Why change your Google password? They cannot get into your Google account if you factory flash or reset.

Because many people has gmail and other passwords in browser's memory and other data.

By flashing the factory image, in its entirety, all of your account information would need to be entered before you could use the device again anyway. After the repair process, when the device is powered on, they would only see the start up screen, as if it were a new device.

True.
OP wanted to avoid access to his device by others. In general it is good practice to change password from time to time.
It is a point of view. Do not rely only on the security of a system.

I agree. That's why in my first response, I said that very thing. However with a broken screen, he could not do this from his device. So it was recommend that he do it via the web. But with the new features of security, you must wait 72 hours after changing your password before factory resetting. I think it's a time issue and the OP wants to get their phone off to be repaired.

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!

As @cam30era said, there is no way around this security feature. Without the password from the previous user, the device is useless. Sorry.

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).

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.

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.

I dont know what exactly you mean by this but probably not (voice comunicate?), not. I already tried Android device manager (via google, pc), but when I change PW it just say something like "changed PW is not needed" :/. I read about ADB (cant, no root), and many technics for android 5 and 4.. but on Android 6.. IDK :/
pls MOD lock this xd I factory reset the phone..

Question Cant add more accounts to this SIM Card

Hello
So, i wanted to unlock my phone's bootloader so that i can use pixel experience (i hate MIUI, atleast MIUI13) and i created an account with my phone number and added account under Mi Unlock Status, but then for some reason i deleted that account. Then i created another account with the same number and when i go to add it under Mi Unlock Status, it says "Cant add more accounts to this SIM Card. Try another" idk what that "another" thing is to try. How can i fix this problem? Can waiting for 7 days or even 30 days fix this problem? I have seen some people say they changed SIMs, but i cant do so. Also there are not many threads on this topic which would help me. I dont mind on waiting (better late than never). Please help me fix this.
Thanks )
