So I have a Galaxy Note 5 that I like but occasionally had issues with, and while meandering around my Google account, noticed Google Authenticator was listed as an installed app on the Play Store. This app have have been the trigger for conflict with other authentication software on the phone, so I checked the phone for Google Authenticator, no go. Puzzled, I installed Authenticator with the sole purpose of removing it, which I did, then removed Authenticator from Play Store list but did not "uninstall it" or turn off two-step.
I do a wipe, the phone asked for my originally synched email, password............then 6-digit token . With no way to log in to the account, I can't access the app, etc., this loop is impossible to bypass.
I submitted a recovery request for the email address but my understanding is the recovery chances are slim. Why I am posting this is because I am trying to determine the best course for the actual hardware. After two hours with Samsung/Google/Verizon on the phone, I ultimately have Samsung agreeing to remove the Device Protection Lock so I can use the phone with a different email (or sell it).
Any practical suggestions to bypass the Device Protection Lock before I pack this phone up?

Easily.. Wipe it with twrp
So i was using Pure Nexus rom 7.0 for my nexus 6. And i was using 2 step verification with sms option.
But because i was logging in a lot out of my PC and didn't receive the sms codes sometimes, i decided to try Google Authenticator app. Biggest nightmare of my life.
I disabled the sms option to try make the app the default way for using 2 step verification.
Then a Pure Nexus Nougat 7.1.1 rom came out and i wiped everything, without making a nandroid backup (yes i know, so stupid of me).
When i wanted to logged in to my account it asked for a code from Google Authenticator app which is not installed in my phone so i had no way to log in.
I had to ask from help from Google which is apparently has the worst costumer services i have ever seen. I filled the account recovery form which asks me when i created my google account(like i would ever remember) and then i ask me to provide all the details i can.
This week my 5th request to recovery for the account was rejected. Sadly, i get an auto email from google telling me that they couldn't verify i'm the rightful owner. They asked me for more details, but wont tell what details that could be. i have no idea what can i do to prove then im the owner.
What a disappointment from google that i cant even attach photos to the request and that all they do is to tell me to provide more details with an auto message, with no guidance.
Oh, and btw i posted in the google nexus forum and was told the exact same thing as the auto -reply email.
Anyone here had he's account recovered and can tell what detail to provide?
Isn't there an option to get the authentication code via SMS?

Yep. I used it more times than I want to count, in trying to resolve OK Google issues on Pure Nexus.
You can still choose to obtain SMS with verification code which will be automagically pasted in appropriate field.
Just look around your UI before lashing out.
i have one Nexus 6 with NBD91P build which is locked with google account (FRP),
i tried almost everything in order to bypass it, but nothing worked for me till now,
dirty-c0w exploit doesn't work also,

Yeah. Get ahold of the account owner. There are some tut around on how to get past it, You will need an otg flash drive to do it. I know it works as I had to do it to a few devices this weekend and it worked on all of them without fail. Completely bypassed all security.

As i mentonied i canceled the sms option because i wanted the app authenticator to be the default option
i cant access 2 step verifcation setting because i cant it asks me to relog again to the account and asking the code from the app, so im stuck.
How else can i enabled sms option again?

There should be a link that says something like "Having trouble?" below the field where you would enter the authenticator code. Tap that and you will get a list of options, one of which is to verify via text message.
Getting such a text does not change defaults.

I get a message saying "problems with your code?" When trying to add a google account to my phone. When i press it i get the Google authentication app or contact google with recovery option which i tried many times. No sms option
Here are the option i get
Just to cover one more possibility that you haven't mentioned, did you not print the 10 authentication codes that you can use for exactly your situation?
Failing that, maybe zelendel can give you some advice on the procedure he mentioned above?
Edit: on rereading the thread, maybe I'm getting confused because mirosaw2 has posted a question which seems to be related to his device, not his account, and therefore (if I'm correct) should not have been posted in this thread because it's a different question and zelendel's answer doesn't apply to the OP's problem.
Here is the link to the tut that I used. It worked across a few devices.

There are two different discussions going on. However, you are correct in that he should have the emergency codes. If he doesn't, he should be able to get them easily enough.

well it looks like you'll just have to contact google and let them help you.
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
"he should be able to get them easily enough"
But if he hasn't got access to his account, and Google are playing hardball, how can he get the codes now?
By signing in on his PC. Unless he didn't click the box near where it says "Don't ask again on this computer" on the Google sign-in screen, he won't need an authentication code to access his account. Other devices and services requiring access to Google still need to go through the authenticator.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem. I understand that the OP doesn't have access to his Google account at all, therefore he can't validate his phone, but also can't sign into Google on his PC. Maybe he can clarify that for me?

He set up the Google Authenticator on his N6 because of his frequently accessing his Google account on the PC. Apparently he disabled SMS retrieval in his account, and then wiped his device. Now when he tries to activate the account on the N6 he can't because the account requires an authentication token. Google cannot verify that he is who he says he is and thus will not give him a code.
Unless he set up his PC to automatically authenticate his account upon login, he won't be able to authenticate his account. That means he's locked out of everything and will have to make a new account. He'll also have to find a way to bypass FRP on the N6, as he'll get locked out trying to activate.
Hi I just bought a secondhand xperia 10 and I made a factory reset upon arrival in my mail box. But now I am stuck in a login loop with my google account. No matter what I do it asks for my google account (mail and password) I have done it over 20 times now with NO typo mistakes. I have tried login via phone and the Google Authenticator app, but it just go back to ask for my google account login credentials.
Has anyone tried this as well??? how do I get through???
(I can't enter the service menu as well!!) (have tried several tutorials, but with no luck!)
Hi,
I accidentally removed through web browser my Xiaomi Account without logging out from my phone.
Now when I go to Settings > Mi Account the phone asks for the password of the account that I deleted (see attached image)
If I try to login with my old Mi account information on my phone, I get a message saying that the account no longer exists and I have to create a new one. I created a brand new account but I cannot bind it to the phone.
I contacted Xiaomi service by email but I got no solution from it.
Could a phone factory reset wipe the old Mi account information and let me configure the phone again from scratch?
Please can you help me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Luigi

Sometimes you have to wait for the Xiaomi servers to be up to date.
Have you tried: forgot password?
Unfortunately old account deletion has already taken effect, I cannot do anything to recover or change old account information.

Check here https://us.i.mi.com/
Try to reset the phone.
I've already tried to login on https://us.i.mi.com/ with my old account credential but I got the message "This account has been deleted. Create a new one". I created a new account with the same phone number but actually the phone is bounded to the deleted account and it seems there is no way on the phone to bind it to the new one.
I'm really frustrated about this awful account management by Xiaomi.

On this site you must connect with the new one since you have deleted the old one.
can you login with the new one?
If ok wait to reset the phone, otherwise you will find yourself in the same situation.
I followed your suggestions and I successfully set up the new account on the phone.
Really thank you very much for your help.
Luigi
How did you get it to work?
I'm in the same bind and apparently there's a few days left before the account is removed from their server yet they won't reinstate it. I may be running against the clock here.
I did create a new account but there is no way to add the phone to it and they warned against resetting the phone as it would lock it permanently!
I was doing more research and I remembered that I did delete my phone from the MI account through the website before I deleted the account itself. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Connect to the phone with your new account which must correspond with the phone number provided.https://us.i.mi.com/
If your new account is recent wait.
On condition that there are no others.
Thanks NOSS8, Just to be clear the phone still shows the old account connected to it and every time I try to enter the password it gives a "Server Error". So the question is do I need to reset the phone to get the old account off?

logout and try with the new account
Once more thank you for your help. BTW, I love your avatar it expresses exactly how I feel dealing with Xiaomi :-D
One thing I just realized that may be totally different from the experience of others, there's a notification that the account session has expired and I need to enter the password again. Unfortunately it's trying to access the old account that has been deleted. Since I can't log back in I can't logout either, to remove the old account.
At this point it seems I can keep using it this way and hope it doesn't suddenly decide the phone is stolen and lock me out or I can just reset and whatever happens... Worst case I'll switch to an iPhone
Shame though, it's a really nice phone and I like MIUI.
did you check here?

I create a vivo account from my computer them i put it on my x90 pro plus, to use nova launcher, all was fine, i dig in on store (themes, always on screen) etc. And i had to install some apps to gain coins and them change those coins for themes, or somethin else.
Today, suddenly i try the same tactics, but it says something like this "you can'y use this child account on this feature" them i went to accoun info in the phone and i see, name, date of birth, gender is empty, try to fill up that info, and it says "sorry, this feature is "sorry this feature isn't available right now" so i went with my pc to the vivo account to change that and the menu it doesn't show those options like the phone shows.
Any ideas?

Yeah, the only fully-functional Vivo account is a Chinese one. That's also the only one that you can request accout deletion from for example. The only way to make it outside China that we've found so far is to go through V-Market app and register new account through there. The important thing is to register with phone+password (account with password). It will ask for your phone number, but will still allow you to choose your region - and you need to choose China there.
wait what? You need a Vivo account to install Nova? What else do you need this account for?

changing system launcher permanently requires account password, yeah. Or it will go back to default every time you hit Home
Unlocking Developer options will ask for password if I remember it right. Cloud features like 'Find phone" or sms/call history backup obviously need an account. I think that's about it
ok - well, as long as it's in English, should be fine to create an account if it's a one-off thing.

create a email account (it will be India region) if you just need to unlock few features and be done with it. No need to give them a phone number that way and if you don't need cloud functions you won't see any difference.
how can I create a chinese Vivo account to use nova launcher? I'm trying to connect to Vivo's chinese website but it forwards me to the european website.

I created the account from the phone itself, when it asked for a phone number, I entered my Czech number and I received the sms verification and that was it.
Btw if you use phone make sure to remove Vivo account from the phone before you change that number should you do so. Otherwise you maybe unable to remove that account and e.g. should you tben on top forget your account password that could brick your phone (not possible to hard reset without Vivo account password)...
Really bad idea therefore to create that account with disposable or virtual number/email...
