So my friends phone is stuck at the account verification screen after a factory reset. The owner isn't tech savvy so he asked someone to setup a google playstore account for him. So when there was problem with the phone and the screen blacked out I factory reset the phone. Everything came back but he doesn't know the google account that was used so now it's stuck during setup. Note the japanese keyboard trick doesn't work on this model cause it's not the same one in the tutorials there's no keyboard settings to view the privacy policy but I was able to get to the dialpad by viewing the motorola privacy policy at the user agreement screen and following the same instruction. My issue is that the test mode code *#*#4636#*#* doesn't bring up the test menu so I can't get to the settings to enable ADB debugging. Is there an alternative dialing sequence for this model? The other thing I wanted to try was to flash a different stock rom on this and maybe the dial sequence would work there. Other people had success doing that on other phones. So is it possible to flash a stock rom from say a xt1527 to the xt1528. My idea is even if the rom is buggy once I can get through the account verification to remove the google account I can re-flash the stock rom for the xt1528 back.
Can't flash a different ROM. The XT1528 has a locked bootloader.

thanks, I was hoping that since the hardware was the same it would accept a stock rom from another carrier without the need to unlock the bootloader.

Someone has managed to remove the account to this device? how?
I have tried many methods circulating online, but nothing works. At least I could open :
Maps
Youtube
Verizon Messages
Bluetooth (only pairing devices)
Chrome
Camera + gallery & dialer (via lockscreen)

Same here. I got a FRP locked xt1528 given to me. After wrestling with all known methods I could find, I finally reached the realization that I couldn't pull it off. I parted the device out on eBay. I'll give credit where credit is due. That's the most rock-solid FRP I've ever encountered. I bypassed a new Galaxy s7 in only a few days. That was child's play in comparison to the xt1528.

sounds like i got further along than you guys.
I was able to able to get into the settings on an frp locked xt1528. But I was still unable to bypass frp. Tapping on build did not enable debug. factory reset was greyed out. I was able to enable unknown sources and use chrome to download apks then launched the downloads gui to access the download folder then i tried to install the apks from the download folder but the install button was disabled so all i could do was cancel the install. Its locked up real tight.
I tried disabling setup but that didn't help.
update:
I was able to to get around the disabled next/install button and launched gsf.login to try the browser sign in but it doesn't sign in to google and keeps giving me the error : "there was a problem communicating with google servers ...". then I tried to take over with test dpc but it did not give the option to take ownership of the device but it has option for work profile. I added a work profile and i tried to add a work email and there was no message that the device was reset but the gmail account was not added because of the google servers error. I am hoping to add a tutorial once i succeed. Also factory reset needs root to be launched.
update 2
I managed to unblock the factory data reset in the menu but the phone was still frp locked after resetting through the menu.
Any suggestions?
update 3
I fully bypassed the frp and added a google account. I'll post a tutorial when I can.

I got a Moto E off eBay with a google account tied to it and I can't get the bootloader unlocked b/c I can't access the settings screen.....so its currently FRP locked. Is there a way to downgrade the firmware back to 5.0.2? I think that may help b/c when i try to unlock the Bootloader on 5.1, it tells me to enable OEM unlocking but I can't get to that screen....I don't think 5.0.2 has that option so it should just let me unlock bootloader...

Could try flashing the applicable firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/stocks-firmwares-moto-e-t3113235) via RSD Lite. Since it's officially signed by Motorola you don't need to unlock the bootloader.
However, the OEM Unlocking toggle you're talking about (in Settings > Developer Options) is in fact present in 5.0.2, at least in the XT1527/XT1528 5.0.2 firmwares.
so i guess i have a paperweight then....GRRR....
RSD Lite don't even see my phone
Sorry to bump an old thread but the problem is that the *#*#4636#*#* code does nothing from the dialer. Could we possibly downgrade to an older version with an older dialer???

Yes you can open any app with google now. Just type settings in the search bar and click the link(you dont have to be connected to internet). go to security and factory reset. FRP will be removed after reboot.

Trying to switch to guest user just puts you back into primary user, can't access developer options and factory reset button greyed out (XT1506). Hopefully someone else may have joy with one of these methods as I see they do work on others models/firmware.

Launched with 5.0.2. Think there are some firmware images in the firmware topic in the General forum. Should be able to downgrade, but I haven't tried it.
I don't think downgrading would work. I updated my XT1521 to Marshmallow, and then tried to roll back to 5.1.1, and the flashing failed every time I tried.

Hm, maybe. Just in case, look out for any "FAILED" messages while flashing the old firmware - if any, retry that command, or flash back to the newer firmware.
Anyone go through device protection crap? I got a xt1528 from a ebay store that has tons of phones and clean esn. I got it on friday last week and still cant get in. Isnt it just a 72 hr hold or what? Also on the verizon model the message app makes it harder for the workaround and network dialer it dont work esp when youre trying to use this phone as gsm. Not sure how long to wait for the hold though. Do i still need the previous password or email that was synced before i got this phone? I hope not or else this is a brick. Ive factory reset Friday and changed password hoping that would work. Nothing so far

"Device protection"? If it prompts you for a password on bootup even if you factory reset, then it sounds like it was locked remotely by the Android Device Manager service (original owner might have lost it or something, and remotely locked it). If that's the case, return it.
"Message app makes it harder for the workaround"? What workaround? The Verizon model has both the Hangouts message app and Verizon's Message+ app. You can choose which one you want to use.
"network dialer it dont work esp when youre trying to use this phone as gsm"? The dialer works for GSM, you just have to turn on the GSM radio. Follow the instructions in one of these topics:

Have you tried installing the Motorola PC drivers and enabling ADB in Developer Options?
As for the Japanese language input, I see it on my XT1528. It's at the very bottom of the list, right before it loops back around to Bahasa Indonesia. (日本語 Nihongo)
I can't get past setup wizard is what I'm saying. And there is no Japanese input the Google one on the keyboard that everyone refers to to get to the 10 key and privacy policy. I know the ultimate goal is to get into dev options. I've been reading. I only have winime for Japanese input for keyboard. The rest is Korean and so forth. Seems to be a newer phone maybe. Today is the 3rd day maybe by 1pm est it will work. I got the phone Fri at 1 PM and reset and changed password. How can I get adb recognized if I don't have USB debugging enabled or unknown sources for the matter. I can't look inside. Stuck at setup wizard or Google protection sign in. Hangouts don't work in shared screen

Sounds like the issue I mentioned earlier. If you can't make it past initial setup due to it asking for a Google account password, then the phone you bought has been locked by the original owner via the Android Device Manager service. The phone you bought might be lost/stolen or the seller is trying to rip you off. Unless the owner left ADB turned on, there's no way around it. Return it and get a new one.

Install Moto Device Drivers (download from Motorola).
Boot device into fastboot mode (power off, hold Vol Down, power on).
Connect phone to your computer via USB.
Open command line, go to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
fastboot.exe devices
If it shows your device, you should be able to downgrade, but I have no clue if this will get around the ADM block.
Follow the stock firmware flash instructions in the General forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3044936
If not list or has a weird listing, you won't be able to flash anything. Return it.
Also, flashing modem does absolutely nothing in regards to getting around an ADM block.
Does anyone here have an extra or unlocked for that matter that they can sell. I have 20.00 i can send to someone honest. I use at&t so either xt1528 or unlocked and as long as not on that crazy 72 hour hold sign in crap. That is why im having this problem in the first place. Thanks PM me. Now at 4 days still cant get into my phone. Am i the only one that doesnt have google japanese input? If i had it i know how to bypass. This must be a newer phone all i have is the winime japanese keyboard and that doesnt do anything for me. Im looking for the a with the squirly line to long press i dont have that. I know the method to get to usb debugging etc and factory reset is the goal. But this thing is a brick in my opinion
Be very careful when buying this phone used I'm going on 10 days still have the Google verification on error device was last reset and synced with another account. Xt1528 does not have the bypass or Japanese input keyboard with the (a) to bypass. I've seen all the videos on this model it don't work. Maybe an earlier kernel or build of 5.0 when it first came out but not 5.1. This is just for xt1528 Android 5.1 you been warned. I have a paperweight now

I"m in the same situation where I can't bypass the account verification on the xt1528 but in my case it isn't secondhand. The owner isn't tech savvy so they asked someone to setup a google playstore account for them. So when there was problem with the phone and the screen blacked out I factory reset the phone. Everything came back but they don't know the google account that was used so now it's stuck during setup. The japanese keyboard trick doesn't work on this model cause it's not the same one in the tutorials but I was able to get to the dialpad by viewing the motorola privacy policy and following the same instruction. My issue is I can't enable the test mode to activate ADB debugging. *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work.

I bought a lg optimus zone 3 off ebay.. the seller forgot to delete the google account so when i try to set up the phone it wants the info for the account that was on it before... the seller changed his password then gave me the info to get in the phone but everytime i put the info in it reset back to needing the email and password again.. heres what it says:
This device was reset.. To continue , sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device..
is there anyway to just bypass this or some how delete the google account from the phone ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/lgvs425pp-optimus-zone-3-stock-t3515462
Instructions there will definitely work.
May be easier option but this will 100% work because I've done it several times and each time it makes the phone "factory fresh"
I have an LGVS425PP Optimus Zone 3 on which I cannot get past the factory reset protection. It is not stolen. It does not present "Accessories" on the welcome screen after factory reset. I have tried to go into Talkback settings, "Terms of use" to open a Chrome browser and "share" as a backdoor to create a google id. Share does nothing when clicked. I also tried to right click in Chrome to get the "assist" option to go into settings, but it does not give the "assist" option. Finally, I tried the advice in this thread... using the LGUP software to "UPGRADE" to PP8.zdk. The firmware flash worked, but contrary to the assertion in this thread, the firmware upgrade did not get rid of the factory reset protection. I tried "refurbish" but the software gives an error that this firmware is not compatible with the refurbish function. So, is there any way I can circumvent the FRP on this phone? I'm out of ideas. BTW, I haven't tried the Tunglick tool because the screenshots did not show this phone in the menu of phones it can work on.
Hi there!
I found an LG G6 with cracked screen in the trash. There was no SIM-Card and no SD-Card in there, but it still seems to work. It has encrypted userdata so I couldn't boot it to see if there's any contact info displayed.
I found I could factory reset the phone by getting into the stock recovery and switching to yes two times.
Now it boots but it will not allow me to enter the phone without giving it an internet connection and logging in with a previously used google account. Since I found this phone and was not able to find out who the previous owner was I of course do not have a google account that was used on the phone previously.
I also booted into fastboot but can't do anything because the bootloader is locked, and it of course was not left by the previous owner with the developer option to allow for unlocking set.
Is there some way to get this phone operational again so it can be used for something more than spare parts (minus the main-board)?
Thank you!
Why dont you flash kdz file? From lg-firware. Com . Oh wait if you cant see imei if you cant get inside phone...
Ah, that's an idea, I will try that. Thank you for the tip. Unsure if a stock ROM flash will reset that google account lock, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

Does it work?
Sadly, no. I tried a few of the LG Tools.
"LG Mobile Support Tool" could connect and told me there is an update available and I should use "LG Bridge" to install that.
"LG Bridge" won't connect because it tells me it requires an MTP connection and I need to allow acccess to "telefon data" if Android 6 or later is installed (which quite certainly is).
Since the phone doesn't let me in (only shows me the first setup wizard which I can't pass without the google account of the previous owner) I can't enable file sharing or accept any requested permissions.
UPDATE: Ah, now I found an "correct update problems" button in "LG Bridge", with this he started downloading 3.28GB worth of firmware, let's see whether he will manage to flash that after downloading it and if so if that does remove the google account lock.
UPDATE2: So I've researched a bit more and found that what my problem is (phone locked to previous google account) is called "FRP Lock" = Factory Reset Protection.
There are a few guides that show how you can use the accesibility feature talkback to get to youtube which allows you to open chrome which allows you to open the phone app. This allowed me to get my IMEI using the *#06# code.
But so far I could not find a phone app code that opens a service menu on this LG G6 H870 which would be required to follow the FRP guides further.
UPDATE3: haha yes the "correct update problems" procedure from "LG Bridge" updated to a newer firmware while leaving my wifi config I've entered during the UPDATE2 step but removing the "FRP Lock".

Sadly, no. I tried a few of the LG Tools.
"LG Mobile Support Tool" could connect and told me there is an update available and I should use "LG Bridge" to install that.

yes, it can be used now, thank you for your help!
The "correct update problems" button in "LG Bridge" did the trick.
The stuff I've described in the "UPDATE2" block was just what I was trying while waiting for the huge download to finish, but it didn't lead to anything. Though it did allow me to get the IMEI by giving me access to youtube, chrome & the phone app.

Ahh ok! Not many ppl response here. I am new too here but couldnt get any answers i am looking for but. Good that it works for you.
yes, it seems XDA's best days lie behind it sadly. They seem to make it deliberately hard to actually reach the device specific forums instead of their curated blog stuff nowadays.

Has anyone had difficulty bypassing from due to being unable to update YouTube? That's the issue I've been having
Hello everyone and thank you for reading my post! I had an Android which I kept in a different state after I moved. After I received it by mail (after 2.5 years) I did a factory reset because I did not remember the passcode. But now to open the Android it requests the Google login for the Google account I had on that phone. In the 2.5 years I didn't have that phone, I also began to use a different Google account and I don't remember the old one. IS there a way I can get past this? Maybe with some software or hackery?
Humbly,
Tom

Hello cmfCyangenModteam and thank you for your answer! I have a relatively new Google account. The problem is that the phone requests my old Google account because that's the one that I had when I used the phone. I tried inputting my newer one and the phone rejects it and doesn't unlock. I don't remember the old Google Account. How can I unlock it?

Have you tried doing a complete Factory Reset? If not, you can do that and then add this new Google Account.

I remembered it!
Factory reset many times until function "Create Google Account" appears.
Remove SIM from the phone.
Use Wi-Fi while setup is on process

@humbleTom
That's FRP (factory reset protection). Background: Let's pretend that your mobile device got stolen. The first thing a thief will do is to reset the phone, because without knowing the correct display pattern the device is pretty useless (and it's very hard to sold in that state ). Since the settings menu is also unreachable with a locked display the thief is forced to reset the phone via recovery mode. This mode must be always accessible by pressing the right key combo in case you are in serious trouble with an unbootable device. Doing it that way, the following setup of the device requires a login to the last active Google account to verify the owner.
This verification step is also required if you do a factory reset in your settings menu. But here the verification is done before you delete everything by entering your display pattern. This will disable FRP for the following reset because you have then verified that this device is yours.
@WoKoschekk thank you for your answer. Is there any software I can use? I once forgot the password to my windows computer and found software online that was able to unlock the computer. Do you know of anything like that for Androids?

We are talking of a security feature that protects the device. It's not allowed to give any help to bypass FRP in a public forum.
what phone model/android version we're talking about? samfw supports some devices.
