Can you flash userdata.img in fastboot or data factory reset in recovery and try again?

So your buying a stolen/lost nexus 6. Awesome.
Best thing is download a tool kit, and just flash the stock firmware. You'll be set then.

Chances are, no. You will not be able to do anything with it, without the Google account password it's asking for. This is a new security feature of 5.1. It could be that the seller forgot to remove their account information or that the device has been lost or stolen. Contact the seller.

I think seller was try restore etc. And now reselling on ebay, so is no chance to use a phone anymore ?

If the device is on 5.1, no, not without access to that password.

I think is 5.1 but is the eBay auction number 171768427083

Was sold a retail mode Huawei P9 and I want to swap to stock ROM [UK]

Back story:
I bought a Huawei P9 from cash converters online, everything worked fine except the battery wouldn't go past 72%. I spoke to Huawei via their live chat who sent me a baggy to send it off to "Sbe" under warranty. Sbe then sent me a letter saying it's not in warranty because it's in Carphone Warehouse retail demo mode. I had to pay Sbe £15 in order to get my phone back and hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. I went to Carphone Warehouse and gave them all the phone's information and they said it isn't blacklisted, but that they couldn't "fix" it for me either.
I love the phone, I really do...and I don't want to send it off again for a refund, I've been reading up on it and there's been stuff about bootloaders and rooting, I have no idea what any of this stuff is...but the Dload flashing method seems like something I could manage without much hassle.
Actual question:
The phone is an EVA-L09, I just want to know which ROM I should use, I've downloaded "P9 EVA-L09 B136" based on a similar post but it's a year old and so might not be right.
I'm sorry that I'm a noob about this stuff and things might be wrong, but I need help and this seems like the place to get it.
Thank you, Thorpy
P.S If someone does reply with a link to the correct rom to use, would I need to format the micro SD?

When you get the phone back, look in Settings -> About Phone and see what build number you have there. This will give you a clue as to which ROM you should flash.
Also, try enabling Developer Options and looking for Demo mode - could be something as simple as toggling this on/off?
Peace...

Well the phone finally arrived back after so long , It's apparently a special "ex-display" firmware or something like that.
Build number: EVA-L09C652B118

Here?
Peace.

That was the one I had downloaded originally, but it was nice to have the validation that it was the right one, worked perfect!
Cheers Chris, It feels like the end of an era with all the **** this phone put me through, thank you!

I have the same problem. Someone can tell me exactly what to do.

Doesn't note 8 start up directly with setup in first boot

I recently brought a note 8 seal packed but when I started the phone it started directly without setup and was showing home screen.
I have concerns that it is used by someone or not.
Can anyone confirm if they had the same Issue.
I am from uae brought note 8 64 gb dual sim.

I got the 256Gb dual SIM and that started up straight to the home screen too! I think it's how Nougat works?

I don't know how to check, but I've had 3 Note 8s and they've all started up with the setup procedure. None have gone straight to the home screen.

It's definitely been opened before, and they went through setup and then re-sealed the phone.
Common practice here in Pakistan, probably happens in the UAE as well.
Where did you buy the phone from?

Have to put a local sim card in to unlock region lock.
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Most likely opened by the reseller to insert region SIM and make a 5 minute call to unlock the phone. If you by from Clove in UK, they give you the option to allow them to perform this procedure.
Most likely, the reseller just skipped the Google/Samsung customization just to make the call. Who did you buy it from?

I brought from a local store person in uae..

But I have brought so many phone no one had this thing so is there any where to find our if this used by someone or reseller has just used it..

Does it matter? Just factory reset the phone. Boot into download mode to see what the System shows as. If everything shows as Official, you should be good to go.

Did it have the front and back clear plastic film on the phone?

I got mine from Clove UK. They opened it, made a 5min call to lift the region lock, but they also reset the phone before shipping. Mine booted to the setup. In fact I couldn't 3ven tell they used the phone, not a single smudge on it anywhere. Only indication was the seal was broken & they even did than cleanly.
Was your seal broken? That's not something you can easily fake not being previously broken.

If the phone has root, you can use the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check for the Usage History (Headset Connect Counter, Charger Connect Counter, S-Pen Detach Counter).
Anyway you cal also use this app to check for the device's refurbishment (left-side menu > "Refurbishment Check").

Yes it is.
Glad that you find it useful.

Just because on your initial boot up it goes to the home screen, doesn't mean that it was pre-owned or used. Here in Japan I went to the store (phone carrier) and got a new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 last week , and they asked what language I wanted, and my girlfriend said English. Due to my slow Japanese , I didn't realize that they were going to quickly set it up there. So, while they were putting in the SIM, which is standard practice at the store, they quickly set it to English.
Nothing else was done though, so as soon as I got home, I was able to update all of the apps etc.
(I'm still using the original protective plastic, until I get to one of my workplaces where it's pretty much dust free, before I put my own screen protector on.)
Like someone said here, you can do a factory reset if you really want to go through the setup yourself.
I really love this phone. First new device for me in 5 years! If I'm honest, I can't wait to get a flip case for it. Then it will feel more gripable in the hand. I'm just using the included plastic case for now. I've yet to see a Samsung case yet, but I've only been to 3 stores so far. :good:

I don't have that issue.

SM-n9600 owners what does the back of your phone say?

I purchased this phone as new. The warranty sticker was still in place. However the back of the phone does not contain any serial or IMEI number. Does this mean the phone is a refurb?

In the case of that port pcb it's right on the part itself. I learned that the hard way.
If the numbers don't match, it's a different part!
