Hi I posted this in the wrong section earlier (sorry!):
Hi all,
I'm new at posting here so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I usually come here for answers to my G1 questions but have never needed to post before (yes, I'm a lurker).
Basically, after drunkenly failing to pattern unlock my phone, I pressed 'forgot pattern' and was brought to the Gmail sign in/unlock screen.
The problem is that it keeps saying my username or password are invalid but they're not!
I checked by logging into gmail on my PC and nothing has changed.
I tried 'username', '[email protected]' and [email protected]' to no avail.
I have a UK model and have rooted it using Jesusfreke's RC8 then the update to RC9 using Moussam's root app.
I don't really want to have to wipe my phone but will do so if necessary; I was just hoping someone could tell me why its not accepting my details!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan
EDIT: I have since tried changing my gmail password and associating other email addressed with my account but using these details makes no difference.
P.S. Edit: I'm wondering; if I hard reset, given that I don't have the JF build on my SD card anymore, what will happen?
Have you verified that you do infact have your APN account activated ? So that you have the dataplan active...
I'm sorry, you will have to treat me like an idiot and spell things out for me.
I don't know what an APN is. My data plan is unlimited, I've never had any problems with the phone (except that after rooting every app seems to force close if used for more than 3 mins), all I did was get the pattern lock wrong. I can still recieve texts (but not read them) and can still get calls.
I can connect the phone to my (win 200) PC and boot up into fastboot or recovery but haven't got a clue where to go from there....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485988
Just google for adbwin.zip instead of downloading the entire sdk in step 1.
I looked at that thread and further down found a link to another thread from someone who had the exact same problem as me.
He tried everything (including Haykuro's pattern defeat) but nothing worked.
I guess I'll just wibe and reflash! Pain in the arse but I've been on this all day trying to find a way around it and I probably could have reflashed and reinstalled everything twice by now!
Sorry if I caught you a tad bit late....
Did you try signing in without the @gmail.com? I've never logged into my phone with that. I just simply use my user name without anything afterward

It doesn't matter anyway; all three should work.

I've been locked out of my phone this way and had a very hard time getting back in.
The solution, for me, was to use [email protected] and obviously your correct password. Neither the username or [email protected] would work for me.
This worked for me, so again, check that you've typed the correct username with @googlemail.com and make sure you type your password carefully.
Hey guys, sorry to bother you, but i seriously need some help here. i have a droid incredible (love this phone to death!), but i use it as a primary phone, which means flashing roms and playing with my phone interrupts my "text my special friend" time, so i decided to buy a used g1 from ebay! great idea hu? ...not really!
</bg info>
well, i received my g1 today, and i was so excited. i checked and made sure everything was fine, so i turned it on, when i saw that there was no sim :/. luckily, i had an extra sim that my dad used when he had an old nextel phone, so i decided why not try and popping it in... but that didnt work because the phone was not unlocked >:/, so i pressed the dismiss button, then the real problem came in... the phone was completely wiped! so that meant i had to "touch the android to begin", well i did and i thought i was fine until the gmail screen came up and i have no way to sign on to gmail! i cannot access my home screen on the phone! i tried calling tmobile and htc for an unlock code to see if that helped, but no, nothing. i dont know what to do, if there is anything you guys can help me with, please reply! i really want to use this phone! thanks for reading this, and sorry for wasting your time! ...oh, and please, no flaming!
Connect to wifi

is there any way i can get my phone rooted without having to access the homescreen? any update.zips that help me bypass the "touch the android" screen?
bump?

Your going to want to downgrade the phone back to 1.0 if it isn't already, and then follow this guide to connect to the Google servers via WiFi.
edit: I'm a new user, and not allowed to post links. So go to Google and type "G1 login to Google via wifi", it will be the first link you'll see. Make sure to first downgrade to 1.0, or else it won't work.

How do I downgrade to 1.0?! Lol, I'm not really sure how to find out if I am on 1.0 or not :/
It's basically downgrading back to RC29 (US G1) or RC7 (UK G1). Just search and download the DREAMIMG.nbh file and put it on the root of your SD card. Then go to bootloader mode (camera+power), and flash it. Restart phone and you'll be on Android 1.0.
Here is the link if you have a US G1: http://www.multiupload.com/9593XFAEYL

Has anyone been able to unlock their TF701 with the Asus Unlock Tool? I get the dreaded unknown error message that plaqued previous Transformers: unknown error occurred , which may be a network error please try later.
On previous Transformers I know it had to do with serial number issues. I checked the serial in settings and it matched the serial on my box. I literally just charged my tablet, and then immediately tried to unlock so I know it's not an app issue or anything like that. I don't even have Google synced. I just turned on Wifi and tried to unlock. I noticed that I was running an older firmware so I decided to manually upgrade that (auto upgrade didn't work even after clearing those two apps, can't remember their names) and the same error occurs. Tried rebooting of course and still nothing.
I'm guessing the unlock tool just isn't working right now? Sucks since I'm going to end up restoring all my stuff and then having to format during a future unlocking.
OP here with an update. I contacted Asus Support and they suggested a factory reset. Didn't think it would work but tried it anyways and of course it didn't. Any ideas out there...anyone successful with unlocking their 701?

Thanks for the reply but this isn't about root. This is about unlocking the device.
I'm ready to unlock too. Haven't tried yet, as after reading your experiences in guessing Asus needs to update. But if I can do anything to help, please let me know.

i unlocked the ww 45, then manually upgraded to ww 47, because no matter if locked, automatic update didn't work.
what i noticed is, the unlocking made an extra 2 or so reboots and seemed to hang somewhere in between for a couple of minutes.
however it worked.
also nothing prevented me from reinstalling the update again, even already running ww 47.
another thing i noticed is, a wd my passport drive shows up as a memory card, but updating from there is not possible.
in my case it only accepted it from the 'internal' microsd (i used a 64GB sandisk)

I am not 100% sure about this but if you don't have your google info entered then the unlock utility cant flag your device in google play to prevent you from downloading DRM content. So unless it succeeds in that connection it won't unlock.
I suppose if you really wanted DRMed content you could get another google play account and unlock..... then maybe not. Personally I dont care about DRMed stuff, I refuse to use software which automatically assumes I'm going to pirate, and cripples my device in the process.

Hmm...that's a pretty good theory! I did end up syncing my Google account late last night after I did a factory reset and it still doesn't work. I just double checked that my account is indeed active and synced and it is. I tried the unlock tool again just in case and same error message. I don't understand why something straight out the box won't unlock with their own tool.
I'm going to wait, I guess, for a recovery before I flip out about this. I seem to remember having to wait for the tool after I finally got my tf201. After owning that device, I really want to make sure I am confident of the hardware. So far, though, it seems great.

It finally works. Tried just now and worked the first time. Must have been an issue with the Asus servers.
Hey guys I recently purchased a used SM-T580 Galaxy Tab off of Amazon and the device came with and FRP lock that I can't seem to figure out how to bypass. I've been on YouTube for the last few days just trying nummerous different methods like the SideSync, OTG, Odin, and Realtek method just to name a few, however none of them are compatible with this tablet. It's very frustrating because I need this tablet working in order to take notes in my college classes. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks.

The tab is compatible with odin, i would recommend flashing twrp, and installing a frp bypass zip, they exist but i don't know where one is, either that or find someone willing to send you a activated twrp backup, you can get to download via home + power + volume down and recovery via home + power + vol up(releasing vol up after samsung shown on the screen)

Also you can try flashing a firmware update in odin from SamMobile
flashing would not help to remove frp there are some other things into that

Thats why a recommended installing a frp bypass zip through twrp first, much more likely to work.
well i m not sure this tab is supported or not bu i cna try to reset frp remortly. if u wish

I was having the same problem, but i figured it out last night. Without OTG cable, Odin, SideSync, Realtek, or a PC. I'd been messing with it for 3 days, so Im not 100% sure of what everything said and i'm definitely not going to relock it to try an duplicate it, but if you've been all over youtube then you've seen methods that require a wifi connection, (I found it easiest to use my phone's wifi hotspot) you disconnect your hotspot or unplug your router immediately when it says checking for software update, which appears after clicking accept on the privacy policy. (Again it's easier to just turn off the hotspot than to unplug your router" When done correctly it souls say "couldn't sign in" and then the next screen will either ask you to set up time and date or it asks you to add a name to the tablet (can't remember which is first) then asks to set up a screen lock passcode or pattern (set up either one), after doing all this 100 times I noticed it asked me if i wanted to set up a IMAP/POP3 account to use within the Gmail app (which I'd been skipping) but for some reason it didn't give me this option every time. You have to be connected to the internet for the next part so if you haven't already go ahead and turn your hotspot back on or router and add any email address other than a Gmail (I used my yahoo account) then follow through with the setup into it takes you back to the very first screen you see when you turned on the tablet. Now just turn the tablet screen off and back on (just the screen, do not power down the tablet) put in your lockscreen password and now In the top right corner there should be a little yellow icon which lets you switch users (if you see this, you've got it beat) now create a new user signing into your Gmail and Samsung accounts (if you don't have one, create a new account) once you're done with that it will take you to the home screen, pull down the notification bar and go into settings (notice since you're on an added user you can't factory reset the device) find "Users", and then switch back to the owner profile, it then tells you that you still need to set up the tablet to continue. Once i clicked okay it now let me pull down the notification bar to access settings, but this time you're on the owners account so you can factory reset it, go to "Back up and Reset" and then go ahead and factory reset it again. If done correctly the FRP will no longer be on the tablet. I know this probably sounds extremely complex so if you have any questions feel free to message me and Ill give you my email and phone number and ill help walk you through it
You are a life saver!

Hi,
I've been a lurker on this forum for over 3 years.. I never got round to signing up.
I've just created account, with the purpose of telling you how grateful I am, I have been looking for a solution all night.
Nothing, literally NOTHING! worked, but your solution worked with no issues, I even had my old apps restored.
I spent HOURS reading through countless posts, watching youtube videos.. trying everything..
I must admit, your post was a little complicated, I ended up giving up 2 or 3 times to try other things, but eventually went back to it, read everything super carefully, and it worked perfectly!
Thank you so much!!!
Mike.

Wow, it's pretty awesome to see someone else was able to use my crazy instructions and come out successful. I spent almost two days doing the same thing. I can't even count how many forums I read, videos i watched or methods I tried. I was driving myself crazy (and everyone around me) i was beginning to think it was impossible on this device. I have been using xda for many years and I'm thankful for all the knowledge I've gained from this forum so when I was able to beat it i felt I was obligated to pay it forward.
I wish I had the time to create a video explaining how to do it, I'm sure it would make a lot more sense that way.
Anyway I'm so glad I was able to help

Can you tell me which firmware you have and how many times it took you to get to that imap/pop screen. I'm not getting any questions about email, it takes me right back to start the process all over again after i put in password.

T580XAR1APG1 and if it's not working try resetting it again through recovery mode and start from scratch. I played with it for what seemed like an eternity before I even paid any attention to the prompt to set up IMAP/POP so I'm not certain how many times.. You might be skipping a step or you may not be getting the timing right when you disconnect the Wi-Fi connection. Try it a few more times and if you can't get any further message me and I'll see if I can walk you through it
Thank you i got in but still have to become the owner

I screwed up my Samsung Tab E the other day, saw your workaround yesterday, and after a few tries I am in my tablet again this morning. I don't use it for much as I have other computers, but I do use it for a few things and having it rendered useless was a pretty big pill to swallow. I still need to make the new account the primary user, or get back in to the original account, but I'm going to leave that for right now. I'm just happy as HECK that i bypassed that gmail thing and got in. Wish I'd found your post right off the bat, but mostly just happy I found it at ALL. Many thanks!!!!!!!

I was having the same problem, but i figured it out last night. Without OTG cable, Odin, SideSync, Realtek, or a PC. I'd been messing with it for 3 days, so Im not 100% sure of what everything said and i'm definitely not going to relock it to try an duplicate it, but if you've been all over youtube then you've seen methods that require a wifi connection, (I found it easiest to use my phone's wifi hotspot) you disconnect your hotspot or unplug your router immediately when it says checking for software update, which appears after clicking accept on the privacy policy. (Again it's easier to just turn off the hotspot than to unplug your router" When done correctly it souls say "couldn't sign in" and then the next screen will either ask you to set up time and date or it asks you to add a name to the tablet (can't remember which is first) then asks to set up a screen lock passcode or pattern (set up either one), after doing all this 100 times I noticed it asked me if i wanted to set up a IMAP/POP3 account to use within the Gmail app (which I'd been skipping) but for some reason it didn't give me this option every time. You have to be connected to the internet for the next part so if you haven't already go ahead and turn your hotspot back on or router and add any email address other than a Gmail (I used my yahoo account) then follow through with the setup into it takes you back to the very first screen you see when you turned on the tablet. Now just turn the tablet screen off and back on (just the screen, do not power down the tablet) put in your lockscreen password and now In the top right corner there should be a little yellow icon which lets you switch users (if you see this, you've got it beat) now create a new user signing into your Gmail and Samsung accounts (if you don't have one, create a new account) once you're done with that it will take you to the home screen, pull down the notification bar and go into settings (notice since you're on an added user you can't factory reset the device) find "Users", and then switch back to the owner profile, it then tells you that you still need to set up the tablet to continue. Once i clicked okay it now let me pull down the notification bar to access settings, but this time you're on the owners account so you can factory reset it, go to "Back up and Reset" and then go ahead and factory reset it again. If done correctly the FRP will no longer be on the tablet. I know this probably sounds extremely complex so if you have any questions feel free to message me and Ill give you my email and phone number and ill help walk you through it

T580XAR1APG1 and if it's not working try resetting it again through recovery mode and start from scratch. I played with it for what seemed like an eternity before I even paid any attention to the prompt to set up IMAP/POP so I'm not certain how many times.. You might be skipping a step or you may not be getting the timing right when you disconnect the Wi-Fi connection. Try it a few more times and if you can't get any further message me and I'll see if I can walk you through it

The PG1 can be downgraded to T580UEU1APF5, then it will work. However, I have to create second user in order to switch to owner account.
A message will pop up which says " To use this tablet, you first have to sign in to an owner's google account in use on this tablet when it was last reset."
Reboot the tablet, it will go straight to owner's account. Remove any Google account before doing the Factory Reset, you're done.
I successfully bypassed FRP on 3 tablets by downgrade from PG1 ( released July 2016 ) to PF5 ( released June 2016 ) . The PL4 ( released Dec 2016) , QC2 ( released Mar 2017 ) will lock the downgrade attempt. This downgrade will work on the SM-T580 with firmware build PG1 or older.
Look at the last 3 characters of your build, the alphabetical order will tell the year and month
PG1
P= 16 or 2016
G= 7 or July
PG1= version 1, released on July 2016.
The PG1 can update to PL4 and use the method that can download Google Account Manager . This app allows to sign in with your own Google Account.
Be aware, each method will work with certain build and model, you should know more than one method to bypass FRP.

I've downgraded to PF5, done a factory reset and wiped cache. Followed the instructions and unplugged the router just as it finished "checking for updates". This gets me to the point where is says "there is a problem with the Google servers. Try again later." But when I click next, it just loops back to the "agreement" screen. What am I doing wrong?
edit: Or, can you point me to a post with the PL4 Google Account Manager method?

When downgraded to PF5, it should work but you have to use Personal Hotspot to quickly disconnect at the step checking Software Update.
Use your router is too slow for quick disconnect. Try again by using your phone connection, I also have done over hundreds for FRP Bypass by this method.
You only need Personal Hotspot to create first user with PIN, the rest no need internet connection to add second user. When finish the profile of second user, reboot.
Your tablet should boot to the welcome screen with PIN, unlock it then you're ready to do the Factory Reset. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.
If it's not working, upgrade the firmware to PL4. I have done bypass FRP over hundreds of T580 or P580 by this method, guaranteed working.

This method is not working with Android 7, so don't try. The current Android 7, build QF1 can downgrade to Android 6, build PL4 with ease.

Well i have found a way to baypas all of that, sory for not writing corectly but im learning englisch!
So my method works on latest update and latest android version for sm-t580 that is Nougat 7.0
When you are blocked by google mesage that says that you need last used google mail before reset, go back to scren where you chose wifi network, and click create new, then when keyboard shows up, click on setings sign at botom.
Now you have a samsung keyboard writen i left uper corner, click on that so that you get one step back and now you should see 3 options, the second one should be Google Voice typing, click on that( you should be conected to internet before you get here), now on new menu click on YOUR FEED and activate it, it should show blue screen with some writing, and at bootom you have two options, SIGN IN and NO THANKS.
Select no thanks and it will take you on new scrren with search engine, from there type Samsung Knox apk, it will take you to internet and from there on try to find any latest version and download and install it, set up knox, create account, from knox setings on phone set knox as main usser, than make backup from phone, now login on my.samsungknox DOT com with same login as you created and used on knox on phone, now from website aces your device, and fully reset it, VOILA, after it reboots it will take you trought setup proces like new device but now your FRP google protection is removed.
I have spent 2 days figuring out how to aces and bypas this bu.sit on my device, like its my tablet , i have forgot my mail, so what now i need to depend on google to say whats mine what not, i share my method with you guys so i hope that i can help someone, if i helped im glad, you can clik thx or like what so ewer on this site and thats all.
BYE :highfive:
PS
One small hint, you can first install some custom louncher so it will be faster to doo all this..
