Hi,
As there is no way anyone here can be sure you are the rightful owner, the only advice we can give would be to take it to a T-Mobile store and have them reflash the stock firmware and hopefully recover your files first.
Android device manager lock is controlled with your Google account not Samsung account.
Good luck!

Stuck at Gmail verification

Hello
I have been running official android m on my Nexus 6 with unlocked bootloader. I just used Nexusroottoolkit to flash the official android n factory image and then I locked my bootloader. Now when I boot I have to verify my gmail to use my phone. And I have no idea what gmail adress I used. I haven't changed the password on the gmail I used. What should I do?

Remember your email address. Because when you locked the bootloader - a foolish thing to do - factory reset protection kicks in. Unless you can recall which account you used you'll be locked out of the device.

Is there nothing I can do?

Find a way to bypass FRP.

When making a new Google account the system will check the username.
Do not activate a new name, but try to find an existing name. Maybe it helps to remember your forgotten Gmail account.
Some people remember things with the help of a hypnotist ?.
Don;t give up remembering.

Thanks for the replies!
I will never remember the gmail i used, it was a random mix of numbers and letters
I have got into the phone and I can install apk's but there are no methods to get rid of the FRP on android 7.0 yet. (security patch October 5)
Is it possible to sideload the stock 6.0.1 image from the stock recovery?
Or is the only option to replace the mainboard?

If you're in, turn on OEM Unlock in developer options and then unlock the bootloader. This time, leave it unlocked and keep OEM Unlock turned on!
Doing those two things will ensure FRP doesn't bite you in the ass. And next time, use an email address you can remember.

I can't enable developer settings
It doesn't happen anything when I tap the buildnumber

Try navigating to devices.android.com and see which Gmail account lists your N6.

Great idea! It would defiently help if I would find the Gmail account since I know the password for it. Where do I find devices.android.com? I didn't find it in Android/data

Reactivation Lock Bypass (Samsung Account)

Hi everybody, I don't know if this will help all you but this is what worked for me (Android 6.0.1):
1. On the setup wizard (after factory wipe), connect to internet (wifi/data)
2. Select "Emergency call"
3. Call to any valid number (112 for example)
4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works).
5. Select browser.
6. Go to google.
7. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8
8. Download it and install it.
9. Open it and search for "Samsung account".
10. Click on Clear Data and then Disable.
11. Go back to google and search for QuickShortMaker
12. Install it and open it.
13. Search for "Setup Wizard", it will expand.
14. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity"
15. Done! You can now use the phone and restart.
Ok after this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (Settings>Accounts), buuuuut, you can't add it . What I did was:
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and enabled "Samsung Account".
2. Then go to Settings>Back up and reset
3. Factory data reset
4. Asked for Samsung account and I inserted my real account.
5. Done, now I can sync with my account.
The oooooooonly issue that I can't figure out it's the way to remove the "Reactivation lock" from Settings>Lock screen and security>Find my mobile.
Well that's all hope it works for you guys.
If this doesn't work for you, you can check out unlockjunky, they will definitely be able to do it.
Good luck!!

112
What ever you do, absolutely do not dial for example ( 112 )
Turns out 112 will connect you to your local emergency dispatch.....
Ask me how I know...
please change your number in the above post for newbies who may be trying to learn and have no clue what these phones are capable of...
Thanks

Mate, you are an absolute legend! I've been searching for 8hrs looking for a solution after hard resetting my phone and being unable to get past the Samsung Account lock afterwards (even though I had the right username & password!) About fifty useless/outdated YT videos & a few hundred websites/forums later - none of which were helpful, I finally stumbled across your post, despite it not showing up 8hrs ago when I came straight to XDA hoping to find a solution first.
I have an improved method for #2, 3 & 4 of your post and will add all relevant info soon (just need some kip now that the panic is over). I'll also expand a little on some details and include further options which worked in my particular case, but all n'all - you're an absolute legend mate and I'd be screwed & still panicking without your shared info. Huge thanks...

Nice meme dude ya got me

You have to dial an emergency number or this trick doesn't work. Its not practical for most folks but if you are worried about dialing an emergency number I'd recommend using a SIM out of a tablet that isn't phone number enabled.

Look for Aptoide apk download it to sd card and search for package disabler in this app and install it or download and copy Pachkage disabler you your sd card and run via file explorer or download and run ES File manager as I did.

when i make the call my wifi gets turned off and wont come back on till i restart the phone. i managed to open the browser but the wifi is off so i cant do anything after that except cry.
stock 5.0

Did you get it figured out I got the edge 6 plus to work fine now it was one of the tougher ones and I've done a few on some newer models what are you stuck on?

I thought the Combination Firmware would reset the FRP lock by default after being installed.

first thank you for sharing ur experience and i want to add
that i done it step by step and it works nicely but still cant remove the reactivation
and here is how iv done it after i bypassed it using ur method
i flashed a lower modem file from stock rom N910VVRU2BOG5 which is 5.0.1
at this point my imei went off
so i went for full flash by N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME. which is 5.1.1 and did full hard reset
then i just signed in with the last Samsung account i used with ur method earlier and it passed so now i can easly remove reactivation mark , unlock and root then make it Arabic .
thx again

Did you ever post up the suggested steps to replace #'s 2-4 in the original post above? I'm not seeing them anyplace. This would be a big help. Thanks.

When I call I can't swipe to the right is there another way to open browers

I successfully used this to gain access to my phone but I believe that if I power cycle it I will be locked out again. Is there any way to remove or change the samsung account now that I am in? The options are greyed out in settings.

ADB and Root.
Hey, I have been working on these for a while keep finding new things each time I try to remove Reactivation Lock. However I was wondering if I show you guys how to enable ADB with RSA Key, and Root the device. Could someone show me how to remove the Reactivation Lock using root. I used other methods on older and newer models, but these S5's are the only ones giving me issues.

After weeks of going mad trying different solutions I've found online, here's what worked 100% for me just last night:
Login to Samsung Account on other device, select Password & Security, enter password then choose Devices. LOG-OUT of your S6 Edge if listed, confirm. Next change password - doesn't matter what, can even change it back afterwards.
Flash Lollipop (I used G925VVRU4BOK7)
Wipe Data/Cache
Boot fresh Stock firmware, enter/confirm network details, at Reactivation Lock prompt, enter user & updated password. Sign-in....
Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Find My Mobile. Unselect Reactivation Lock and enter password... voila!
Works for anybody else??

T817A FRP locked

***Solved***
First Of all I want to thank you all for helping me out.
So it was google that updated their Google Account Manager apk so you can't login in this way In order to make your device "thinking" that this is the last account that was synced with the device.
and I realized that I should get some older version of GoogleAccountManager In order to fake the frp lock but the current version is blocking any older installation of it. In my case GoogleAccountManager 7.0.24 blocked the installation of GoogleAccountManager 6.0.XX(think it was 23).
So I decided to go a little rough on it and Downgraded the whole device Android Version (found a stock 5.1.1 for t817A model) In order to force the GoogleAccountManager application to downgrade also.
Some people complained that the FRP blocks their try to change android version but it wasn't my problem so I don't know how to help here.
after the downgrade I was able by using QuickShourcutMaker then opening GoogleAccountManager to login my account (many tutorials around the web), restarted the phone and TADAM, works like charm
My dad bought me a used one for the New Year (as I wished) and unfortunately it is FRP lock.
SO I've searched on how to disable this lock and I found I'm able to open google chrome settings but with no success further.
I've seen people enabling USB debugging then some how disabling that lock but I think google blocked my access to developer options so I think I'm pretty stuck ..
also, I have the option to send it back to the store overseas but I would like to try saving some time and unlocking it by myself so any ideas guys?

Search for an app called QuickShirtcutMaker. Download, install and run it.
Type ACCOUNT in the search field. Look for SETTINGS(add an account) then tap Try.
Create a Google account then log into it.
If it creates the account then you should be able to use the new account to bypass the GOOGLE login.
Reboot first.

Ok, so it seems like my Google Account Manager is 7.0.24 version, and it disallows me to add a google account through QuickShortcutMaker.
Many site's are telling to Reinstall to older versions of GoogleAccountManager but when I try to install any older version that I found it says "The package appears to be corrupt".
Now im feeling stuck agein but thank for the fast answers 'till now :good:

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

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.
