Hi All,
I bought a Xperia tablet z in China without knowing that devices in China do not come with any google services apps and thus I cannot login to google account and use gmail app etc.
I tried installing the Google Service Framework.apk directly and it says "no connection to server".Then I did some research online and I found that I should install Google Service Framework.apk by going into recovery mode.
However, after an hour of attempts on booting the device into recovery mode by holding on the Vol+ and Power button, there's no response.
Am I doing something wrong with booting into recovery? Should I unlock bootloader (which I have no idea what this is and how to do it)?
I also saw other posts with guides to CWM-Based Recovery, CM, unlock bootloader etc. I am new to an Android tablet and have no idea what those are. What should I do in order to get google service apps running?
Many thanks!!
Looks like there is no recovery for locked bootloader for now for XTZ. You have to unlock your bootloader (warranty loose etc) to flash Gapp package with google app in it via recovery.
Read before making your decision about what the pro and cons unlocking BL.
I don't know if there's another way for installing these apps, wait others answer maybe...
So I have this Sony Xperia Ultra XL39 Indian variant which is locked with password (Not PIN or Pattern) and I have to get access to the internal storage to pull out some images, voice recordings and SMS as it's really important to me. Trust me won't bother so much if it wasn't that important and would have done a factory reset. Is there any way to bypass this password? I am on stock and this phone has never been tampered with in terms of rooting or installing any custom recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you use the PC companion by Sony it will ask if you want to back up your files and it will place a factory IMG on the phone.
Hello,
i am Stanley from germany and i wanted to ask you here for help. I bought from a guy his used Xperia Tablet Z4 in white SGP-771 with an cracked display. So i ordererd an new display changed it and wanted to make an factory reset. The problem was, i deleted first his google account in the settings and the next moment the black death screen appeared: protected!
I had then tried to restore the firmware or to flash an older firmware to make an downgrade...everything fails. I contacted the pre owner and told him to delete this device frm his account but the says he cannot remember the password from his old account and also not for the recovery adress. It seems he is an cell phone shop trader so he changes the phones and tablets evertime.
OK guys, what should i do now? I am the rightous new owner of this tablet but cannot use it because of the google frp lock. Acutally i flashed the Android 5.1 but it seems this black pretoect screen is in the bootloader integrated and pops up everytime. Unfortunately the bootloader is not unlocked and the developer settings are not set of course because i resetted the device. Is there any hope to get this baby back with some tools and cool tips from you experienced guys?
It would help me a lot..
thanks in advance
I managed again to get in contact with the seller and achieved an unlock from the tablet. Case can be closed
Apparently I have bought Redmi 5 plus (MPEG7) which was locked with Mi Account or what. The phone works normally, but I cannot add my Xiaomi Account because it gives me some error I don´t remember now.
Tried to update the firmware manually, didn´t help. So I decided to do factory reset, and then, soon after the set up screen I connecet to wifi, my Xiaomi got locked. It says I need to sign in on account which was previously been there.
The guy who sold me this phone, aware me of this, I should not do factory reset because this will happen, but I thought If there is no Mi Account on this phone I am good to go.
Luckily I found local repair shop who helped me to revive this phone by bypassing Mi Account somehow. I can use it with my Gmail account and I still can´t add my Xiaomi Mi Account.
So here goes my question now, how much I can do about that here. Unlocking bootloader and installing custom recovery would help me here. But the thing is I can´t enter my Mi Account on my phone, so that means no unlocking bootloader for me, at least nothing officially.
So my questions goes. Is there any way to unlock bootloader without having MI Account on the phone?
And before I forgot, if I don´t unlock the bootloader, and the phone stay in the same condition, will my phone lock itself again after I update it to MIUI 11, once when the update is available?
For now it is on the latest MIUI available, 10.2 Stable, OEGMIXM
Thanks in advance

Hello!
I have a problem similar to this. And I've been looking for some answers on that. With the current state of the device, I have how to unlock the bootloader, and then install a custom recovery and rom? So far I have not found any answer that is favorable to me. Other than paying for the service.

As far I have did some further research, unfortunately for us there is no solution to this. Basically the phone is connected with the Mi Cloud servers. As there is no alternative to unlock the bootloader, other than the official way, if in any case we got to sign in our account on the phone, the phone will lock itself eventually.
The only solution is the person who owned the phone have to remove the phone from the Mi Cloud service.
I hope at least we will get MIUI 11 and the update will not lock our device again.
If you want to know more about this, I have created a thread on Mi Community forum, so you can check there, one guy tried to help me about this problem, but no success

Hello!
I am also getting help to solve the problem. But, it has been 25 days that after sending some photos of the device screens nothing happened regarding the unlock. That is, it remains blocked. I tried help from S-Unlock but showed no interest in solving the problem. I need to find another company or someone to unlock the device next to the server. Feel free to help me if you want.
Hi all,
I've been struggling for days now to find out how to unlock bootloader on RedMi Note 10 Pro.
A friend of mine has forgotten his screen lock pattern.
I've done a device reset wiping away all datas.
While reconfiguring it I keep hanged on Android FRP protection: although I am using the same google account I keep having the "something went wrong" error message.
What I wanted to do, then, is reflash MIUI Standard ROM, but can't succeed as bootloader isn't unlocked and no developer options have been turned on on device.
Can someone please point me to the solution?
Best regards,
DD
Update.
Phone is REDMI NOTE 10 PRO - M2101K6G - Maybe I posted it in the wrong section...
I've managed to update ROM to MIUI 14 using XiaoMiTool V2.
Unfortunately I didn't got rid of Android FRP.
I've got access to the google account used on the phone before resetting it (password, phone number, recovery email).
But if I use the account during phone configuration, android asks for the account previously used on the phone... which is exactly the one I used!
Actually I'm locked out of my own phone!
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
DD
