Hey did you ever find out what this is or how to bypass it?
Any help with this problem?
If you do factory reset Android 5.1.1 and it has a Google account then you cannot get into the operating system unless you know the Google Mail account and it's password that was originally on it. Phone is now bricked. To prevent this from happening before you do a factory reset go to settings then accounts, then click on the Google account highlight it go to the three dots at top right and pick delete the account. All Google accounts must be deleted before factory reset or you will brick it if you don't know email and password.

stock phone except for root
any help is appreciated.
thank you
Settings=>account=>Remove account, then re add it
Remove account
thankyou for your reply ,
i tried that before posting here.
the phone replies with " this account is required by some apps, you can only remove it with a factory reset"
i was hoping not to have to do that. but
if your bootloader is unlocked does a factory reset cause any problems?
like the b word
thanks again
All factory reset reset does is take the ROM back to the state it was when you first flashed or our set it up.doesn't flash anything won't cause a brick

Hi
I have a Y360 and cannot remember its lock pattern anymore.
The phone gives me the option to login with my account. I am not sure what this means. I used 2 gmail accounts on the phone. On the pc I can access both of them. But if I use these accounts to unlock my phone it says wrong username/password.
I dont want to factory reset it since there a lot of pictures/videos on it which I dont want to lose.
any tips are very apreciated.
thx&br

Hi everyone, My friend has Oneplus X which he was using. During first time setup, I think he enabled device protection feature.
Due to some reason, he did factory reset on his Oneplus X, and also changed his Google account password and his recovery phone number
After factory reset when tried to configure his Google account, it gives error " Please sign in using one of the owners account for this device"
We are able to login his google account on computer,
We also tried to for wipe data/factory reset through recovery
Read on some websites that Google account is locked for 72 hours if we do factory reset and change password. Its been 5 days but still cant configure the google account on the phone
Please help as the phone has become useless

I have an s9+ ( TMobile ) and was looking if there is a way to get rid of the FRP (Google Account Verification) through a flaw of in the setup or just flashing it in Odin. Any help is appreciated.

This is not a flaw in the setup or using ODIN. This is an anti-theft measure that prevents the phone from being stolen (or used if lost) by someone. If this is what your seeing after resetting the phone or flashing it and your not the Google Account owner then your options are:
Get the person who had the phone last enter there Google Account details so you can Factory Data Reset the device. Afterwards you should be able to enter your Google Account information and then the FRP lock re-activates (which means your google account would be needed if it happens again).
Return the device (if you purchased it) because it may be lost and/or stolen.
Otherwise if you really are the person whose Google Account was used there are three options. The first two should work, the last is if the first two don't work:
After updating the phone simply sign into the google account using the account name and password. Afterwards just factory data reset the phone from within the settings menu (SETTINGS > GENERAL MANAGEMENT > RESET > FACTORY DATA RESET).
Before flashing any updates perform the factory data reset (SETTINGS > GENERAL MANAGEMENT > RESET > FACTORY DATA RESET).
Seek help from 3rd party companies. You will have to Google search this one on your own, as I will not be able to help because the phone may not be rightfully yours and/or maybe lost and/or stolen. Please note I am not saying it is yours or not, just that it might not be.. Most people won't encounter the FRP lock issue with the phone they own.
