I'm new to this, and I just wonder if I can unlock a phone and make it usable again if the original owner doesn't know his gmail password? I would be happy to try the root option, but is that the only option at this point?

Hint: Google FRP bypass + your model.
In any case, if owner forgot his password it should be fairly easy to retrieve
You can, it depends on the model but almost all model enter in recovery by shutting down the phone and then press volume down and power button, if it's samsung then home button too. After you enter the recovery just factory reset

Ok thanks for your help.
Also, do you know if the textnow phones are able to be used under another carrier like AT&T? Does this require a root?

root doesn't unlock anything but access to all of the files in the phone, the system files, similar to the windows folder in microsoft windows. it's not some kind of magic, you still need to know the password of the phone if you want to use it.

My wife has the Tmo LG V10 secured with google but she forgot the password to her account. So I decided to factory reset the phone by hitting the button combination and entering recovery. After the phone booted up it still asking for the google account password. And there's no way I can unlock the phone. Is there anyway to do this? By unlocking bootloader and installing a fresh rom? I thought on rooting it but I have to enable developer mode and I can't access it. Any ideas??

If you are unable to just reset the password and wait the 72 hours try this. http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f779/lg-v10-factory-reset-protection-frp-2064805/ this work around wworked for me a couple days ago. Or if it doesn't I guess you ccould always pay mrcertkings extortion of 20 dollars to use the tot file to fix. I'm sure he's already pmed you offering to do it for 20 dollars like he did me.
Hi!, I have a RAZR D3 (XT919). It ships with Android 4.1.2, but I upgraded it to 4.4.2. A few days ago, I dropped it, and the screen shattered, the screen itself it's not broken, I mean, it displays what it needs to, but half of the screen lost the "touch" capabilities, meaning that I can't input my unlock pattern. I've tried everything in order to be able to unlock it (do not ask why I need it to be unlocked, I just NEED it unlocked), I tried through ADB, but, USB debugging is not enabeld (it actually IS enabled, but I can't confirm the debugging access to my pc because it does not show up the window that asks for confirmation, and, even if it did, I would not be able to tap it not because of the broken screen, because I think the touch part that is still working is in range, but because it would not let me tap it in the unlock screen), I tried through flashing a zip file (actually, lot's of them) that in theory disabled the pattern... yet, no luck (I'm aware that I may needed to input a random pattern, it didn't worked), I tried a file manager made for recovery mode, didn't worked either. So, in short terms, I tried tons of things to unlock the damn phone (factory reset is not an option) and nothing works. I just don't know what to do, I will be buying a new one, of course, but I need it unlocked right now. Oh, I also tried with a USB-OTG cable with either the pc keyboard and mouse, the device simply does not support it. So... yeah, I'm pretty much screwed. Don't be afraid to post any complicated solution, just keep in mind, to make it as clear as possible, thanks for caring and I hope somebody would be able to help me!

Nevermind guys, thanks for trying to help, but I already bought a new phone (LG F60). It's not that I wasn't gonna buy a new one anyway, but, I wanted to check some stuff on some apps that were on the functional part of the screen, anyway, you said you have some tricks for LG devices, if you know anything to get some tweaking or just for knowledge for any problem that I may encounter in the future, let me know (I don't want to root it yet because I will lose guarantee). With that said, thanks agakn for trying, I hope this is not the only time I'll get to this forum. See ya!
Hi people!
I know, I'm completely newbie in this.
But I'm getting in trouble and confused about it.
The question is simple:
What's means FRP lock / unlocked and Phone lock / unlocked?
And what's the difference between them?
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.
So if you unlock FRP you will lose that protection but this is required too unlock your bootloader (that's what you called phone locked/unlocked).
Phone locked (bootloader locked) means that you cannot make any changes too the partitions of your phone for example the recovery. So you are required to unlock your phone to install custom recoveries and ROMs like TWRP or RR etc.
Hope I could help you clear some things up.
If you're planning to sell your Android phone, make sure to remove your Google account from it first or else the next owner wouldn't be able to use it.

actory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models.Mar 29, 2016

Hi everybody,
My question is going to sound stupid, but now that I've got the unlock code for the bootloader, how do I unlock the FRP?
It is to this part that I am lost.
Sorry but I'm not very young anymore and not healthy. I had a big car accident and am much more on my phone and my computer

Hi,
OK so I activate the OEM to unlock the FRP.
And for unlocking the Bootloader I can use Huawei Multi Tools?
Should I delete my Google Account or Huawei before doing these manipulations?
I do not have fingerprint or pattern lock.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello everyone,
My S6 Edge is FRP locked because of a hard reset via the standard recovery.
Now is my question, how can I get rid of the FRP lock?
I've already tries multiple things, like:
- Flash a custom recovery (Can't because of RL lock (Reactivation Lock))
- Install factory binary to try a new method (Can't because there's no binary for my binary security level: RP SWREV: B:6 K:2 S:2)
- Install a stock rom with USB debugging enabled (Doesn't work, because for some reason ADB commands do not work...)
Hope you can help me!

But no, I don't have access to ky device. Only the configuration screem which you get when your phone comes new out of the box or after a factory reset.
Within the configuration screen I can't go any further than login of the Samsung account. Because it won't let me login

So you know your credentials but the phone refuses to accept it? If so, open Google on your PC and type in Samsung - Find my mobile. Log into your account, choose your S6 and select Unlock Reactivation lock. Make sure that the phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
If you forgot your Samsung credentials click reset password on the login screen (on your PC) and repeat the steps above.
Hope it helps

I just checked your claims and I don't see an option to disable FRP on my S6 edge using Google's method. It can erase and lock the device but it doesn't have the power to disable FRP. On the other hand Samsung's find my phone site has the FRP disable button. I wish to point out again that the phone explicitly asked for the Samsung account. If it wanted Google's info it would have asked. I could be wrong but I'm just saying what I'm seeing.

Yeah I know it's asking for Samsung account. But FRP lock is down to google. Remove Google account = FRP lock disabled. FRP lock and reactivation lock are different. If he can't get passed Samsung account the very easiest way is to just reset Samsung account credentials.

Aha, okay then, sorry for the misuse of words. But still in a nutshell FRP and Reactivation lock are the same thing. Both still block the circumvention of the stock ROM if it's enabled. I think that the author of this topic meant to say Reactivation lock tbh

I've done that already a long time ago. But simply resetting my Samsung account password isn't going to cut it.
My phone has been reset via the standard Samsung recovery menu. After that the phone boots up like it's totally new.
So you have to go through the configuration menu for the phone.
At the part where I have to fill in my Samsung account credentials it fails to advance because of Samsung's FRP lock which I still haven't been able to bypass.

But if you are entering the correct details then it should pass the reactivation lock. So long as you use the same Samsung account you had logged in before you reset. So if you reset the credentials for that account you should be able to log in and pass the lock after.

I have the same phone that I just bought and (sheepishly) just found out has wi-fi calling disabled by AT&T. That was a main reason for getting it, but unfortunately I went by the Sonim website's info and not AT&T's regarding that feature. Verizon's version has it enabled, but it's also much scarcer on the secondary market. The XP5800 doesn't seem to be a popular phone for tinkering judging by the lack of info on doing so.
Does anyone know if wi-fi calling could hypothetically be activated by rooting and then toggling some values, or is it more likely that the involved code was omitted entirely? I saw something to the former about tethering.

Each Android can get rooted by means of SuperSU ZIP. Only requirement is to have successfully USB debugging option enabled in Android->Settings->Developer options. You install this ZIP via phone's stock recovery.
To access developer mode, google "developer mode sonim xp5s". Open article: kb.eschat.com "Open Developer Options Tab on Sonim XP5, XP5s or XP3...". The device will then open the Developer Options tab. Ensure the take bug report option is enabled, and that USB debugging is also enabled. You may also add a menu button to the Power tab for future access to this feature.
Be sure you use a clean SuperSU ZIP to avoid malware. Suggest getting one from the xda forum.
