Back in the day I had a few Google Nexus 6 phones. I had a spare 64GB one sitting here that I had let my ex-girlfriend use at some point when she broke her Samsung S5 or S6.
She used my N6 for about 5 months and finally got a new S8. The thing has sat in a box ever since.
I pulled it out the other day and decided to pick up another SIM from my carrier so my 9-year-old could have a phone to play with. I changed the thing up and realized it still had the ROM on it from when my ex-GF used as it still had a PIN code set so I booted in TWRP and full wiped it and installed the newest Nitrogen OS Pie.
So I start the setup process, I get to the WIFI part and put in my WIFI and now I'm sitting at a screen that wants me to input a pin code OR use the email associated with the phone. I tried my email and that is NOT it. It must have locked to her email.
Unfortunately, we no longer speak so asking for her help is not an option.
I Googled FRP unlock but none of them have worked so far.
Any thoughts?
Would any older ROMS allow me to get around it and "start over"?

We have a family plan with T-mobile, and three of the four phones are the HTC One m-9. Mine is a Galaxy note 5.
My son's HTC phone received the latest OTA update three days ago. The one dated 9/27/16 with version number 3.39.531.21. It is available here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9-t-mobile/news/
I have never rooted it, it being my son's phone, but I've rooted my own phones in the past.
We plugged it in and started the update and went to bed.
In the morning on the way to school, my son showed me the initial encryption screen. It would not take his password. He and I tried several times. He has allways had the same password and has never changed it - he is required to not change it without telling us or he knows he will lose his phone.
At a loss, I booted into the stock recovery and wiped the cache, and then did a system reset.
Now the Google "Verify your account" screen is impassable. It does not remember the Google account that we have always used with this phone, and so now there is no way to actually use the phone.
I also tried reinstalling the 3.39.531.21 update using the link above. The rom updated seemingly perfectly, but I still have the same security block.
I will be calling T-mobile to see if i get anywhere, but I also thought I would ask here since I doubt they will have much to offer me. This is not a stolen or transferred phone - we bought it direct from the T Mobile website brand new and the receipt for this phone is still in my email. My son's google account is the only account that has ever been on it. Is there any way to get around the google theft verification?
I hate posting in forums, so please understand that this posting comes after many many hours of researching and attempting different fixes. Can someone please help me sort this out and get me up and running again. I will be brief and direct hopefully including all necessary info for you.
Device is N920A, AT&T
Was in the process of transferring my data on a 32GB to my wife's phone, a 64GB..
Ran the reset it came back up, used it for a few minutes, it ran update and locked me out.
THE PROBLEM
When googles wonderful FRP wants to verify the accounts, it will not accept and of the old accounts of neither my wife's or mine.
I was able to pull it up on one of my accounts Device Manager. When I lock it with new passcode and message,
It displays the message on the screen but wont unlock.
Tried again and noticed in Device Manager it said no new passcode was needed because previous lock PIN still existed.
Reset AGAIN... No longer finds phone attached to any google account.
EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM
Just got the phone back from repair shop where they swapped motherboards with my phone and my wife's phone.
Reason for this? Originally 64gb device had cracked screen Insurance would not replace with 64gb because it was discontinued. Cracked screen was $300 to replace, swapping motherboards only cost me $80. I haven't even swapped the IMEI numbers with AT&T, but phones did work upon getting home and resetting .
PLEASE let me know what I can do. Need this phone for work ASAP.
I recently got a galaxy 6 edge plus from a customer I had because his contract was over and didn't want to keep his phone because the touch screen stopped working and he wanted a smaller screen for his hands (older gentleman). He have me his 6 for helping him set up a new phone on pre paid for him and because it didn't really work. I was able to get the touch screen working with a factory reset as it seemed to be just a software issue but in doing so cane across the frp screen. Called the gentleman and he said he might remember his gmail info and could meet me sometime in a week or so. My question is if he can't remember his login when I meet up with how screwed am I? So far I've tried doing the otg method and side sync with a pc just to see if I could do it without him but no luck so I'm thinking it's running 7.0. If I try to roll back or flash android will that work? Any ideas?
Someone took the Note 9 away from my pocket.
I had logged in to my samsung account to trace it.
It was showing not in network for some days now it totally disappeared from samsung findmymobile site.
How can I find/get it back?
FRP Lock
Sorry that you might not be able to get it back, someone intentionally theft the phone. However, you can file a police report and your SIM card carrier to block the IMEI number of the phone, so that it can't be used on other networks.
But before that, make sure your data won't be in the hands of wrong person. Login to your Samsung account and lock the device, which does the FRP lock and there won't be a way thief would access your data.
On a side note, I found the advantage of galaxy watch (or gear S3) which has find my phone option. Immediately after you lost the phone you can activate find my phone in watch and the phone will start ringing loud.
What are the chances to get it back after police complaint
Can someone change IMEI of phone?
Can the phone be tracked if someone starts using it?

it only can be traced if your accounts are active i.e Samsung account and Gmail account, but please note the data connection also needs to be enabled!
Did you have a passcode or pin or iris or fingerprint enabled ? Also did you have network lock enabled ?
if you had no lock enabled and the phone has gone off the network that means the thief has factory reset your phone, and he using his owm email account that’s why you cannot track it!
So it's gone for ever!
So what about IMEI tracking? Wouldn't it be of any help?
I had heard that even after factory reset if the theif inserts a new SIM card he can be traced by IMEI number.
What are the chances?

Cops can do that, track an imei using the carrier but we as common people don't have access.
I feel like you should treat it as gone unless you are unable to use find my phone,
The cops might be able to get your phone back using the imei if you registered a complaint but it takes a while.
I remember my phone (note 3 unlocked snapdragon) got stolen in a Mumbai local train on 12/26/16 & I registered a complaint and got a new phone (Zuk z2 plus) on 1/28/17.
The number of days I lived without the phone were the days I tried my best to use find my phone or track the phone in any way but it was switched off whenever I tried to track it.
The cops got the phone and returned it to me on 12/17 [i don't remember the exact date but it was after 20th], I was using note 7 ported rom before the theft but when I received it, it had the stock note 3 rom which means they flashed it with Odin since the kernel was back to stock as well.
I used the phone as a remote for the television since it had an IR blaster and now on 11/06/19 it died the display doesn't turn on [probably hardware failure but don't care anymore ]
I switched from Zuk z2 to note 9 [128 Exynos] on June 8th & have changed the country too :silly:
My point is they may never even turn it on without flashing it & the moment they get your phone, 10 mins in & it is probably switched off and your sim is out.
Hope you find your phone :fingers-crossed: but don't count on it for too long
Hello!
I am new to this forum and also completely new to phone modding etc.
I will shortly explain what situation I am in so maybe someone can enlighten me a little so I know what to do.
A year ago I bought a phone on polish trading site called Allegro.pl, for months it worked without issues, it was a brand new phone.
A few weeks ago a message popped on screen telling me the phone is now locked due to failure in monthly payments. (Previous owner).
I tried all ways of contacting the seller but to no avail. His phone number is off, he does not answer e-mails.
I decided to just ditch the phone and use some old backup phone I had saved. The problem however is that the old phone died and right now I can't afford buying a new one.
Getting this phone into a working condition (without any lock) is my only option so here are the things I have done so far:
I have flashed the latest Android 10 Firmware but right after the initial set up is done (after recovery) the phone locks.
There is no window with the information anymore however, but I can't use any of phone's options or apps in anyway.
I have found a way to bypass that for a brief moment and managed to turn OEM lock off and Enable USB debugging.
(When phone asks for Wi-Fi network I used my old SIM card and told the phone to connect using SIM's connection and right after the initial setup is done I quickly unplugged the SIM so the phone has no connection to internet anymore and the lock didn't start right away. It took me a while to figure it out, been sitting in front of my PC up until 5 am last night.)
If I install TWRP and a custom rom will it bypass the lock on the phone and will I be able to use it normally again?
Will I have to change the firmware somehow, or what exactly will I have to do to make use of the phone again?
IMEI's appear to not be locked as of now.
Any help, information, advice on this subject will be greatly appreciated!
