So this has been this way for a couple months now.
I have the At&t variant of the Axon M.
It's completely stock. Though from what I researched 99% of them are. There's only a possible preliminary twrp and I couldn't even find that when I got the device.
This happened after I put a lock password from Google security. When I got home and tried typing in that password it did not work. So I changed it from Google settings and that didn't work. So I rebooted it and.....to start Android, enter your password was there to greet me.
Nothing from any of the Google lockscreen passwords I used, my Google password, translating the lock pattern to numbers, default_password, cache wipe, etc works.
And on top of it a week or two ago there was a suspicious sign in on my Google account so I changed the password and it logged all devices off. It in fact doesn't even show any previous device that were linked in the list now.
Most threads show this as something flashing files or update issues with certain phones. There was no update or change recently except the Google security lock.
Can I adb, flash, or do anything to regain access without wiping it completely?? Any help is appreciated.

I've tried two clean installs of milaq's 10.2 nightly (the latest two)... with the correct gapp version (and tried others), but I get a no connection error when trying to access the Play store and syncing isn't working. I seemingly successfully added my google account with 2-step verification and everything.
I'm connected to wifi and can surf the web just fine. Just before this I was on some CM9 nightly and everything worked fine. This is frustrating and time-wasting. Any ideas?
I just did another clean install using the recommended install package (10.1) from the easy install guide. Same exact issue. Dunno what the heck is going on.
UGH, I figured it out. So stupid, so lame. The touchpad thought I'd entered the right password for my google account, I thought I'd entered the right password for my google account, in fact I HAD entered the right password.
But it didn't work for whatever reason (and didn't tell me the password wasn't working). I had to create an application-specific password in google account settings and input THAT password. Now it works. And I wasted too many hours.
I had exactly the same issue yesterday. It was the right password (I re-installed Android TWICE). Seems that the authentication DOES require a 'one off' password to be added to your google account security, which worked fine for me. Two factor auth has worked fine for me before. Maybe someone needs to make a note of this on the relevant ROM pages. This was CM10.2 20140303 I installed to (and I asked this question on pafe 83 I think).

noob can't use play store
Hi all, I am having the same problem. Could you please explain in noob terms how u resolved this issue? What is one off??? And how do you set an application specific password in google settings?
If your logged into google.com visit: https://www.google.com/settings/security
You then have the options for "App Passwords".
Give it a name (I just used touchpad), doesn't matter. Click generate, and it'll make you a password you will only see once.
Use that password to login to the touchpad. I had to remove my account in settings, and re add it, using this password instead of my usual.
Pain in the bum two factor not working anymore, but at least it works.
Was not sure were to post this, but thought I may ask if anyone has ever ran into getting a Google account disabled. I have several Gmail accounts only really use just 1 but the rest are for different devices over the years, or sites I do not want to give out my personal email etc.
But I thought I'd give my old LG G Pro some new life by flashing Blisspop CM rom. I decided since this device may be used as a remote for my TV box, throwing around, dash cam, etc I'd just have it its own Google account which I created on the phone. Downloaded some apps, and about 2 hours later pick up the phone and it says I need to sign back up, which did NOT work. So I tried on the computer which stated the account was disabled.
Anyone know what may cause this? Running Blisspop and creating the account with it? since its not stock android? something I may not know about? (downloaded Gapps from a reputable source)
I rely on some Google services heavily on my main account I do not want that comprised by the accounts getting linked.
Very secure password was used. But just found it strange.
Thanks!
Hi,
Working on trying to get multi user working on my Google Home in Oz. Had anyone got it working yet outside of the US?

I was trying to get this to work in Aus as well. In the end I could only get it working when using the ios Google Home app. Then the "Multi user" notification popped up consistently. Just make sure you set the language and region to English US.
I can't get it to work in Sweden either. US version of Home, all languages and regions set to US but I do not get the multi user functionality on any Android or ios device... Maybe they use ip number to verify location before they enables it? All other functionality works fine.
any update on this?
No success so far.. I installed a VPN on my Dd-wrt router with a US based IP number and confirmed with IP location site that the external IP is located in US for all devices on my wifi . Then I created a new Google user on my phone (without sim card) and GPS turned off. Unlinked Google home from previous user and did initial setup of GH with the the new user. The multi user funtionality came up! Success? No.. After training it with my voice it just keeps loading and never finalize the process... Grrr. Hope someone else have better luck!
have you performed factory reset on your GH before seting up the vpn connection?
i am trying to do the same WA but had no time to setup vpn on router.
also with the new features presented during google i/o yesterday i would love to have them sooner than later
I did the factory reset on the GH after the VPN were in place. I will do a new attempt this weekend with an iPhone instead. Will report after.
No luck.. With an iPhone, USA VPN on the router and factory reset on the GH the multi user setup show up directly after initial setup. I can successfully go trough all steps including training it for my voice but afterwards it just ask me do it the same setup once again... It seems like it does not register the data correctly. I will move on. Hope someone else have better luck!
Success
Finally, I did it!
I did a lot of stuff and I'm not really sure what did the trick, but I now have multiple accounts working on my device.
First of all, I have a VPN on my access point with an American ip address.
I also did these all:
Spoofed my phone and the other phone (second account) GPS locations to one single address in the US.
Set my home address on the assistant settings to that spoofed address.
Set my time zone to that zone
Removed both phones' sim cards (and put back in at some point? I'm not sure)
Factory reset the gh, and on new setup set the address to that spoofed address (all addresses the same)
At this point, it's not a matter of Google home anymore. In your phone's Google assistant settings you shall see a new section "shared devices" right under personal info section. Use that shared devices page to add a new shared device (your gh), train your voice and done.
On the second phone, go to shared devices and add a new device. (I never got the blue multi user notification during the process)
Once finished, you can set everything to normal again. Once you did the setup it won't log you out.
Good luck

Great job!
I performed factory reset on my phone and after installing google home app i noticed that the shared device option showed up. After setting up gh for my user i tried to do the same on my wife's phone but no luck, shared device and other options are missing. I then declared her account on my phone but every time i switch to her account a lot of options are missing for the app like home control, shared devices etc.
Hi guys! Google is rolling out the multiuser support in the UK... without any hope I tried with mine (I live in France) and it works here too!!... go ahead and do it quickly, just in case it is just an error from their side.
yesterday i managed to setup multi-user on my wife's phone but not with google home app as it didn't showed the shared devices option but with google assistant.
steps i performed were:
- setup multi-user on my phone using google home app. i had to go into settings -> shared devices -> add GH -> setup multi-user
- on my wife's phone google home app didn't showed shared device so I started the google assistant app -> settings -> shared devices -> add GH -> setup multi-user
i didn't used any VPN or gps spoofing, the only thing is that the language needs to be set to English US or Canada
Google Home COUNTRY ID
I cannot change country ID anyway ... Any new idea how to get full features from Google Home out of the US?
Google Home Country ID
Thx you very much
My solution
You have to deny all devices to access to location for Google Home app (1.)! All your devices must be set to English US, no other one English work (2.). You will not see to blue "multi user available" but on the other devices with other account you will see blue bar with "link account". This helped me. I suppose to restart all devices after setup mentioned above.

Thanks for the tip!
I would like to add that this may only work if you uninstall the Home app on all the devices you want to pair to your Google Home speakers before you do what Petrmenzel is writing.
Here is what i did. I assume the secondary device is another person thus another voice than yourself, and not just two different of your own accounts as google cant know the difference between two accounts with the same voice profile.
Uninstall Google Home App on all devices
Change language on all devices to English (United States)
Reboot devices (not sure if this is necessary, but I did it to ensure the language was completely changed)
Reinstall Google Home App on all devices
When you open the Home App, deny the app access to location
If you did not unpair the Home speaker on your primary device it should still be paired, otherwise, pair it again.
On the secondary device(s), you should now be able to see "Link account" as a blue bar in the device list on your home speaker, click on it.
Now it should ask you to train the voice model and all that standard setup stuff, once done you should have two devices paired to the Google home device, and you can once again allow the Home app to access device location and both accounts should stay linked.
To test that this works, simply try asking your google home "Hey Google, what is my name" and afterward having the user of the secondary device ask the same question. If it correctly states your names it should be fully working.
Note that this was tested in Denmark with a US version of Google Home, a UK Version of the Google Pixel phone as primary, and a Danish version of a Samsung Galaxy A8 as secondary

Im in South Africa. I actually had an online chat with a google representative that ended up phoning me to help me out. This is what I ended up doing:
On my phone in the Google Home app I added my wife's gmail account. I then went to Account > Settings > Voice match.... Voice Match was previously unavailable for her. Did the voice training module. Then voila, she can access her account on all our Google Home devices (5 of them). I then removed her account off my phone. Simple as that.
Device: Xiaomi Mi A2 Android One
ROM: Stock Google Android 9 Pie
I recently had to do a hard factory reset on my Android One Xiaomi Mi A2 phone. After reset a particular notification keeps insistently reappearing - it is from two different apks that are part of the stock ROM/OS - Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) and Android setup (with a gear icon). Both the apks have the same name but different icons and listed separately. They can be found by clicking on Settings>Apps & notifications>See all apps>Show system. I am currently on Android 9 Pie.
The notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) gives two options - connect to WiFi or Use Mobile Data. On choosing either option it takes me to a white screen that has a gear symbol/icon on top and right below it it says PREPARING FOR SETUP... and below that it says YOU CAN FINISH SETTING UP YOUR Mi A2 SOON... At the bottom of this screen it has a rectangular Start button but that remains greyed out. I waited two days on this but it remained same. I did hard reset numerous times and re-setup phone but issue would not go away.
So then I did a reset from Recovery/Hard Reset again. Then I did the following in the order I mention - Set-up the phone as new / Chose Do not back up data or apps from previous save - Unchecked all apps that I had earlier that Google was trying to reinstall automatically after reset as per backed up info of my device on Google servers. Once phone was on homescreen I went to PlayStore and updated Google Play Services first thing. Then I installed all available updates. Then manually reinstalled all apps I earlier had on my phone one by one. After all this, notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) reappeared and same issue - whether I choose Use Mobile Data or connect to wifi it would just take me to PREPARING FOR SETUP screen and stays there with Start button greyed out and notification bar indicators showing no data being transmitted up or down.
So then I went into settings, force stopped it (Android Setup with a circular arrow timer icon) and deleted cache and data for this apk. Left it overnight. In the morning I see that there is the same notification but this time from the Android Setup (with a gear icon) and the only option is connect to wifi. Upon connecting to wifi it takes me to the same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen with start button greyed out and does nothing. So this time I went into settings and forced stopped this (Android Setup with a gear icon) system apk and deleted its cache. Delete data option is greyed out, although it shows some data is stored. This makes notification go away but once I reboot phone it reappears.
I have done research online and many others have faced this exact same issue, exact same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen. But many different handsets, many different roms. Most common solution offered online was to delete cache and data for Google play Services and PlayStore. That was of no help in my case. Mine is a completely stock Android One 9 Pie rom, strictly no mods whatsoever. I doubt this has anything to do with the phone manufacturer, because they would not mess with those system apks I have mentioned earlier. It seems connected to Play Services apk and backed up phone settings/information on Google servers. Might have something to do with RESTORE DATA AND SETTINGS WHEN APP IS REINSTALLED setting option in the Android OS. I attempted to delete backed-up device settings, passwords and app info backed up on Google's servers, and then did a reset again and set up as new, but problem is still there.
Any help/info/etc. you can provide about this would be much appreciated ...

Why do you want to use a beta Pie ? Just restore Oreo

No its not Beta Pie. Its a full public release, updated through OTA.
I have seen this problem mentioned in Nexus, Pixel and Oneplus6 Forums as well (among others) so not sure if it is specific to Pie ...
SOLVED
After all the steps mentioned in original post, heres what I did - Went into my Google account and removed phone from devices listed under my account. Reset phone. Set up - as new (chose do not restore backed up setttings/apps/data)(did this setup with wifi). Towards end of setup Google still tries to reinstall some apps that were installed before, so tapped on REVIEW APPS and unchecked all checked apps. Three apps were still listed with no option to unselect. Continued. Got to home screen. Problem notification appeared. This time tapped on USE MOBILE DATA option on the notification. It did not go to problematic PREPARING FOR SETUP screen but went to another screen that said installing 3 apps (the 3 apps that could not be unchecked as I mentioned earlier), and after a few minutes of seeming to be stuck, just completed on its own!
PROBLEM SOLVED. Mentioning everything done in detail in the hopes that it will help someone else. Cheers!!:good:

Realise this thread is a little old, but I had the same problem and did not want to reset the phone again. I am using LineageOS 16.0
Most of the solutions appear to be little more than try again.
I found the following work:
When the option comes up, go back ("<") key from the screen that shows a grey "Start" button. This should give the WiFi options. Click the WiFi which is connected, and then click Advanced. Change Metered from Automatic to Unmetered. Click finish / ok as necessary and it should then work.
I can only assume that Android is detecting the connection is metered therefore refusing to do the final setup. Hope that this helps someone!
Don't forget to set the connection back to automatic / metered if applicable!
What i did and helped is that i deleted the Google account, restarted the phone and the Update went through.
what worked for me - i had to install gapps first and then just factory reset in twrp - a20 205w - running lineageos16

Hey guys, I’m a new android user here.
If been trying to bypass this frp lock on this HUAWEI P9, because my uncle forgot the password for it. I’ve tried multiple methods, like using talkback, to open google, but I’ve come about a plethora of issues.
-I’m unable to open privacy policy of YouTube, so can’t open chrome(it doesn’t do anything)
-Google Chrome doesn’t open, so I can’t download go launcher or apex launcher.
-hyperlinks don’t open, so can’t open chrome.
-tried to email myself “quick shortcut maker” when I used the share option in a YouTube video. I’m unable to download the quick shortcut maker for no reason(stays at 0% then exits)
-google play doesn’t open and instead goes to input “verify your google account” page.
-I did reach settings by google voice in google maps, but apps and accounts tab don’t open, and system tab isn’t there.
So now I’m think maybe I can’t rollback or reinstall android to remove the lock. Does it work like that?
I have Android nougat, and EMUI 5.0.3
Build is EVA-L09C432B504.
Android update security level is July 1, 2018
I have no clue about “oem” or “bootloader” being unlocked. Can someone explain it to me and if possible, downgrade this phone to remove the lock? I have an sd card. Also, the phone isn’t recognized on my laptop. I had HiSuite installed, but still didn’t recognize it. What am I doing wrong here?
Someone please help and explain it to me, this is why I use iPhones instead lol.
You could reset the Google password from PC and/or another phone if the account was linked to a phone number or another mail.
Otherwise FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is too firm to be tricked by rolling back pr so.
There were couple of users who claimed that they bought (P9) phones over Internet where sellers (?!) did not remove accounts before shipping, and the only way to get rid of the previous Google accounts and the corresponding protection was to use paid service (it worked) by DC Phoenix/Unlocker:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial
Ministry of Solutions might be cheaper but they usually require (for unbricking and so) TeamViewer remote connection to your PC (DC gives you the PC tools and you have to work on your own):
https://ministryofsolutions.com/paid-services/amp
If you are really a freak you could open back+cover, and use Testpoint connections for low-level reflashing the phone. I know only of one guide but for Mate 9:
