Hello my friends
Im totally disappointed. I just got my S5 Neo from my father. I used factory reset from recovery because phone was very very slow. Everything was ok, but... Phone boots and asks for google account that my father used on the phone, but he don't remember the details of this account (mail name). And im totally in trouble, depressed, i don't know what to do with this phone. Any solutions to bypass this FRP lock?
If you reset. It wouldn't ask. It's it rooted? More info please. Also, I feel I must point out. Your most likely not "depressed", rather disappointed.

Well then. Call the cops, there isn't any other way you're getting your phone back.
Hop onto your computer and look up "plan b" on the browser Android market. Follow the instructions there and best of luck!

If you can't get it back make sure your network locks the phone so its no longer usable for the person who stole it.
And to anyone reading this thread you should download security tracking apps such as seekdroid, androidlost, lookout and the likes. It can be wiped through recovery but to someone who does not know what they are doing there are more chances of recovering your lost / stolen device.

Android lost can be installed post losing your phone. Provided the purp hasn't already wiped it and deleted your google account
Hadnt u got an antivir? they have a feature for stolen phones
Immediately call your network provider and give them the IMEI number of the phone. They will lock it out and it cannot be used unless you recover it and then they will unlock it.
hope you had it insured as well..get on to the cops and report it. sorry for your loss but please i hope you had it insured
You can try to log on to android market and download " Wheres my droid" to the stolen phone and then just send a text message to your stolen phone from another phone. Just write " GPS My Droid" and send it to your phone. Good luck!
hello.
somebody also stole my phone and my account registered is only a google account. i tried to login to samsungdive.com to track it. it displayed a map yesterday but now it suddenly hanged and no response. i think he/she resetted the phone.
now i have a question.
is it possible for the thief to change the imei number? because i am thinking to report it to samsung to block it (if they will help).
any suggestions guys?
Phone provider will do it if they want, not Samsung.

Avast Mobile Security is a free app which has an 'anti-theft' function. I doubt it will prevent theft, but it certainly has some useful looking features once your device has been stolen (remote tracking, sirens, lockouts, remote wipes etc). It can also survive a hard reset if you're rooted and install it in the root.
Too late if your phone has already been stolen unfortunately, but worth investigating for those who are sitting up and taking notice.
I suggest if you wrote the IMEI, to give it a samsung center and let them do everything possible to recover it .. keep us updated on the news ..
Hey Guys/Gals!
I (stupidly) jumped into rooting too quickly. It's a great option for really getting the true potential out of your android IMO, but I (having no knowledge of the possible issues of rooting) really messed me up here.
I have a Samsung Mega SGH - I527 and I have no clue what version of android it was originally running.
Basically, one day I was on base with my cell phone in my pocket, and this was about a week after i rooted with a program I believe was called "kingo". I went to pull it out of my pocket, and the screen was not responding to touch. I wasn't doing anything unusual and there aren't any signs of damage of any physical kind. I freaked out on the spot, and realized it must have been the root.
I rebooted the phone, and touch came back. I rejoiced, then freaked out as about 15 - 30 seconds later, the touch went bad again.
It then stayed not working until I rebooted again, and again, and again, until I managed to get to the Factory Reset settings in that little tiny window of time.(a small note while on this subject: not every reboot got me that little bit of time to use the touch, and the amount of time i had to use the touch screen was never consistent from what i could tell.)
From here on out, just troubleshooting steps already tried:
- factory reset on phone in phones UI (did not fix)
- factory reset on phone with bootloader menu (did not fix)
- using Odin 3.07 to put supposed stock firmwareback on the device (did not fix)
- took apart phone to make sure digitizer/lcd cable was seated properly on the motherboard (did not fix)
Any Ideas? just trying to do something that makes this thing NOT a $500 shiny paperweight :'(
feel free to email me @ [email protected] if you have any further questions or info that could help out here!
PS: sorry if this is a repost, I didn't find anything related to this specific topic in forum
I would say your problem is with the hardware and not software. Now what the problem is and how to fix it, I haven't a clue. I would suggest that you contact Samsung.

The only thing is, the phone is /really/ new.. i never abused it, and I'm thinking that its a software issue. I know its possible i broke/failed the hardware, but i really think its the case that the root i did messed it up. Do you know if there are any other more power ful ways to restore the chipset back to originality than using odin to load it back?
Have you unrooted?

Yes. Is there a better rooting program than Kingo that I could possibly try?

If you have unrooted and its within a year, get a warranty replacement.

Roger, But they can ultimately tell bc even though I unrooted, the device still says "Custom" when you first boot it up. Is that a Problem? Should I just push Factory firmware back to the device with Odin before I contact them?

I had rooted and unrooted several times thinking maybe root was the cause. Unrooted, saved everything on Kies, hardcore factory reset and sent that bad boy back when I got my new. Not a word from them.
My Mega never touched Odin

hardcore factory reset, you say?
Maybe you're just referring to opening the boot loader and clearing the cache and doing a FR, but just to make sure... What exactly did you do?

Ha ha...I think if I could open the bootloader, I would be a GOD. Back up everything to Kies, then go into the 3e rcovery......factory reset
Sorry for delay. Working 2 jobs keeps me working a lot

Hey guys, I recently came into a Samsung galaxy s2 from work. The prolblem is the guy who gave it to me, gave it to me because he went to restore it and locked it up at a Google confirmation screen on setup and he doesn't remember the employees email used to set it up. He basically threw it on my desk and said if you can get it back running it's yours so I figured why not.
It's a Verizon model of some sort but without getting it up I've got no idea on the specifics. I downloaded odin but it's been a while using anything other than for Google branded devices and I'm not sure what files or Roms to download for this thing to even attempt rooting/cfw'ing without possibly bricking it out.
Any help would be appreciated, it's actually a nice little beater tablet to have.
Thanks in advance
I've already attempted googling for about a week+ with no luck

If you're asking how to bypass Factory Reset Protection, that is against the rules here. We can't discuss this topic here on this forum, sorry.

Sorry honestly did not know, I'll just try and do some research more online and see if I can figure out what images from Odin or what I'll have to dump on the thing it's legitimately from my job this is not a stolen device or anything of that nature.
Thanks anyway guys
Hello, so my intelligent mom didn't used Zenfone (her ex boyfriend's phone) for few months now and few days ago she turned phone on and ofcourse she forgot pattern to unlock and also was signed in with the ex boyfriend's email and as I am good son I tried to help her with hard reset but now phone stuck in some lock safe mode or something like that and I can't finish activation cause it's asking me either pattern or email and she don't know any of that -.-', so I came here to ask if someone can help with this so she can use that phone or there is no hope without one of two things?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Christian
This sounds like FRP (Factory Reset Protection). anti-theft protection.
I think there are 2 options:
Contact ex friend, he must log in and deleted his Account from the Phone.
Or
Go to service center, but you need the invoice to prove that its your Phone.
After that your mom can Login/create a new Account.
