Here it is:
I have a Moto X that I bought from ATT. I had the phone encrypted. I picked up another Moto X on today's sale so I am selling this one. I did a factory data reset from the recovery as I always do to sell a phone. Unfortunately it is asking for an encryption password when I boot up, but my usual password, that I didn't forget (i've used it forever), is not working. I tried a few more factory resets and cache clears to no avail.
Any ideas ?
P.S. - this phone has never been modified, rooted or messed with at all, bone stock.
Thanks

Flashing back to stock worked, and it worked without USB debugging on.

I was under the impression that device protection on lollipop for android one devices would work no different than nexus devices .it turned out to be untrue. I was using stock 5.1 lollipop (encrypted) with no changes to the bootloader or recovery. On downloading the 5.1.1 update I went to recovery amd factory reset the device and flashed it with OTA zip file 5.1.1 . I was then able to go through the setup screen on first boot without it asking me for me google credentials of the previous rom.
Thus proving even if your device is looked and encrypted it can be easily reused by flashing the rom.
that happened because you formatted data sir and do one thing re encrypt THE device and wipe data again see what happens

Thats the point.. thats exactly what a thief would do ie format the data and use the device again.Even after format it should have been locked to my google account.
You don't really get the point of the factory reset do you? The point of the factory reset is to wipe everything and set the phone to the factory conditions. That 'everything' also includes your google account. Name one device that keeps an account that it signed on to after a factory reset, I'll name a unsecure device. Even nexus devices don't do that.
Try not to lose you phone.

My dear friend let me explain the point to you. Device protection for lollipop devices acts as a deterrent for thieves. In case you loose your phone, for a thief it will be nothing more than a paper weight . If you read the first post . I forcefully cleared the phone from recovery just as a thief would do because he wouldn't know the unlock code. However on setting up the phone I should have it hit a dead end because the device should have been locked to the google account of the previous user.
Here read this article to know how it works..Hopefully then you will get the "point" http://www.greenbot.com/article/290...ow-about-device-protection-in-android-51.html
Besides device protection will not work on your phone as you have unlocked the bootloader and replaced the stock recovery which defeats the purpose
pardon my ignorance then...
apparently this feature is only working on N6 and N9.

still if a thief knows how to do a factory reset, he's also able to flash a custom rom or reflash the stock rom without having to login in to the device. Which is really easy process with most phones out there.

This is where the locked bootloader comes into play, an average user wouldn't tinker with the bootloader or stock recovery. To install a new rom one has to unlock the bootloader . Now for a thief he wouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader because the stolen phone will be already locked with the pin even the usb cable won't work. So all he can do is factory reset the device ...had device protection been working as it should have he would have hit a dead end there as well.
Don't know why google didn't enable this feature for android one devices .
Hi! I recently got a Moto G3 from a friend of mine and decided to factory reset it but shortly afterwards i dicovered that i need his gmail to be able to acess the phone again :/
I kindly asked my friend for the login info but it seems that either he gives me the wrong info or purpose or he just forgot the login credentials.
Is there any way i could bypass this without his login credentials?
You can factory resset without login. Use the method "How to factory reset the Moto G (2014): hardware buttons" from this link: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-factory-reset-the-moto-g-2014

Okay, I unlocked my boot loader and was going to flash a rom. But my phone updated a security patch, and now will only boot and give me com.android.phone has stopped I never activated the phone as I only use it as a smart device at home, I have searched many times but all I get are to do a factory reset or clear the cache of the phone, but I cannot as the message just repeats over and over allowing no access to settings. Yes it is a shared device in our home so my child must have updated the security patch.
Edit now i know its not owens it a perry even though it was called an ownes in my bootloader.
The regular E4, or the E4 Plus?
Hi, please have a motorcycle x play XT1053, I'm trying to give a hard reset because my daughter forgot the password to draw, but after the procedure it returns to the ROM that is and does not touch anything. I also tried to update the rom but without success via adb, it returns the same rom with the configurations that are, that is, I can not get back from the factory because I do not have the password nor hard reset because it returns to what is already, somebody can help me ?
