Hello!
I currently have a phone that still has a 1 year warranty, and Im about to sell it.
Before doing so, I wanted to make sure that none of my files, accounts or whatever is reachable by the person buying the phone. How do I go about this, without voiding the warranty?
I heared that factory reset isnt 100% proof in this case?
Thanks!

what device are you using?
I think Hard reset is useful for you
Example samsung j7 hard reset:

Search "bypass google account" on google

You should definitely go for a factory reset and bypass the Google FRP protection.
Look through XDA for thread on how to do it.
If you hard reset it your warranty will be voided .

Is there a need to bypass FRP, if there is an option in the settings to perform the factory reset?
And Hard reset = Wipe with TWRP, for example?

Hard reset is the full reset with TWRP , this will void your warranty.
Factory reset is in your settings. If your device runs Android 8.1 , you'll find this option in System-->Reset Option ( or something like that)

Alright, and what the FRP is for ? Checked up on google, it looks like its a protection that doesnt allow someone randomly factory reset it, right?

Yes , that's a protection prevent someone to factory reset your phone , because he can do it without any password , and back in the day , that's how thiefs reset Android device to resell them .
Now you'll have to bypass it to be able to unlock it .
You can also connect to your phone after factory resetting and logout after unlocking if you aren't able to bypass this protection

Not sure how to bypass it. Cant find a legitimate video on my device. LG G6.
Is it not going to allow me to log in with a different email? Is that how it works?

FRP doesn't work like that , only your previous Google Account can unlock the device , so Google know it's you who has reset your device.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask a question about the android find my device feature.Everyone knows that icloud does not allow you to use any device after being factory resetted,until you enter the credentials of the original apple id used on the device.I know that it is possible to remove a passcode from an android device if you reset it from Recovery.I want to know if there is a way by which we can make it so that no one can access an android device until the original google account is entered.This is just in case my device is stolen.
Thanks
There is FRP (Factory Reset Protection) protection, but it is easily bypassed in some situations.
So i bought a used phone and its locked by a google account. Tried to wipe, factory reset, hard reset, multiple softwares on pc, and even contacting the seller, without success.
What do i do now?
Thanks in advance, and greetings from austria.
Did you ever get an answer to this? I know it probably won't help now but I managed to unlock the FRP by swapping SIM cards from other carriers. This was in an effort to 'Unlock' the phone which I'm still trying to do. The FRP appears to be unlocked but I can't get the phone to ask for the unlock code that I have. If you or indeed anyone else has a solution I'd be grateful to hear it.
Thanks.
I did a factory reset on an LG v20 phone. I didnt know it had the FRP protection enabled. The person who had it does not have access to the account. Is there a way to bypass this protection? The phone is not rooted. Factory reset will not fix it.
Please help.

Like the title says, my father just passed and we're locked out of his phone.
Don't want to factory reset the phone because all of his accounts are on there in apps and we're not able to figure out if we missed anything. Worried about upcoming bills and then any stocks or trades he did only in apps.
Currently the phone is requiring a pattern unlock and I've unsuccessfully been able to guess it so it kind of locked us out of doing anything. Can't even power off or reset it.
It's also saying "unlock the phone to use fingerprints." Does that mean even if we were to somehow guess the pattern would we still need the fingerprint to open the phone?
Is there a way we can bypass any of this? I looked into some programs and downloaded them but they all said they would erase the data if we removed the pattern unlock.
I have access to his Gmail via a tablet that we knew the pin code for but haven't been able to reset the password just yet. Not sure if having the google account password available will help us unlock the phone or not?
Any help or links to tutorials would greatly be appreciated.
By sheer luck I was able to guess the swipe unlock pattern so the phone is now unlocked for me. Mods can delete this thread if they want.
