Hi guys,
So I got a brand new Nexus 6p. But the thing is that it asks me for a Pin-code. I tried several sim cards and i can safely assume that it seems to be some kind of security code. It's store bought so i'm a bit perplexed as to whats going on.
many thanks in advance and sorry if this was asked already
Was the box sealed? It shouldn't demand a pin code straight out the box. Return it.
The box was sealed but it was a demo device so i think the store locked the phone.
when i boot into the bootloader it shows me that the device is locked. is there any way to remove the security code?
the device is not rooted but i would surely do so if that helps.
How would you root it if you can't check OEM unlocking in developer settings to unlock bootloader?
What about resetting to factory settings from the boot loader

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has seen or may know a fix for this. I got the Nexus 7 toolkit (great tool guys thanks :good: ), I then unlocked the boot loader but now I can't do anything else. After unlocking the boot loader it set my device to defaults and the Developer option is missing from settings so I cannot enable USB debugging. Any ideas? Thanks
I would have put this in the toolkit thread but I don't have access to do that. Thanks.

Here is a tutorial to unlock the bootloader on our Moto X Play: http://www.gammerson.com/2015/08/steps-how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-moto-x-play.html
The warranty is not there after this, is there any way to lock it again without Motorola being able to see that it was unlocked?

The unlocked bootloader warning message can easily be removed too: http://www.droidviews.com/remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-on-moto-x-and-moto-x-2014/ I tested it and it work on our Moto X Play.
Oops.....completely forgot that this will wipe the phone (as all devices do when unlocking the bootloader).

If I just remove the message, won't the technical assistance be aware that I unlocked the bootloader?

They already know since you requested the bootloader unlock code. From the terms and conditions:
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL UNLOCKED DEVICES EXCEPT FOR DEVELOPER EDITION DEVICES. BY OBTAINING THE UNLOCK CODE FOR THIS DEVICE, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE DEVICE'S BOOTLOADER IS SUBSEQUENTLY UNLOCKED OR ITS SOFTWARE OR OPERATING SYSTEM IS MODIFIED, USER AGREES TO WAIVE AND VOID ALL WARRANTIES

Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
Anyone please help me.
I tried to install the official OTA and something went wrong. The device got stuck into bootloops. I entered into bootloader and decided to unlock it. As adviced by the xda thread i followed the instructions, but after getting the Unique key via Email, when i enter "fastboot unlock OEM UNLOCKKEY", it gives an error saying Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
I cannot boot my phone.
Please help me.

There is a thread I created for the first timers.
You have to check the option "allow oem unlock" in developer options.
Please check the whole forum for details before doing anything like this.

If you leave it unlocked after rooting then it can make your phone more susceptible to localised threats like someone stealing your phone and re-purposing it or stealing your data from it directly.
But for many the reward outweighs the risks and there are ways to mitigate.
Trying to unlock Moto X Play on Linux by using "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", but it just says waiting for device. I ran "adb devices" and also enable "Allow unlocking device" in the Developer menu. Am I missing something?
Hello!
I just got a Nexus 6P from a friend of mine who unfortunately is no longer with us. However, I can't unlock it. Nobody knows the password (nobody ever will), so I tried to wipe the data through the recovery. It didn't work at all. The downloaded apps might have been deleted, but the Google account is still active and also the password.
The USB debugging is turned off and I can't activate it while it's locked, so I don't know what to do now. I've been searching for days and I wonder if there is a way to activate the USB debugging from the outside.
Thank you for reading this.
Maybe gry to flash stock again?
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Here is download link and instruction
With or without USB Debugging, it still won't work for you.
The device will need the password of the previous owner to login after a factory reset.
It's called FRP Lock.
The phone is only good for parts part it out..

I bought a Nexus 6P and after I factory reseted it requests for account. I don't have any more contact with the man who sold me because he has no smartphone for now.
It has the January security patch.
Is there any somehow I can bypass FRP in January Patch?
I saw at YouTube that is able to bypass it with October patch, but couldn't find anything for January.
Thanks.

Hello,
The exploit has been patched. No new FRP bypass available.
Question... The guy sold you his N6P with his account on the phone that you have FRP after factory reset? Cool story...
I wonder who sell a phone with his account left on the phone..?
Good luck...

He sold me and we did a factory reset. The battery was low so I arrived home to boot up and configure the device while charging, but got stuck in this.
Also, I found a way to bypass it and use the device without Google Account. If I unlock bootloader, complete wipe and install a custom ROM, would the account still be required?

Hey,
Normally, if you enable OEM unlock, unlock bootloader, you may be able to skip setup and add your account.
I usually wipe my phone with OEM unlock enabled and no SETUP/account required. With OEM unlock disabled, setup/account required, even with the bootloader unlocked...
Hmm, so you were able to enable OEM unlock? How did you do, since you can't skip setup, or? And if you skipped setup, you should be able to delete the previous account from settings without issue. I'm confused...
Cheers...

My friend found a way to skip all the initial configuration.
I can go in any setup, install apps via aptoide, etc.
If I enable OEM Unlock and install a Custom ROM will I be able to fully use my new device?

Hey,
Did it involve the use of ADB by the way?
Also, if you got in settings, you can go in account and add yours, no?
Anyway... To my knowledge, when I let OEM unlock disabled and wipe, reflash, I have to add my account after the install. If OEM unlock is left enabled, I can skip setup.
Only way to figure it out is trying by yourself... :good:
Hopefully it will work.
Cheers...

This is how it works anyway. If you enable OEM unlock, the phone ask if you're really sure you want to enable it, and it will disable security feature = FRP...
Good luck...

So I sold this phone on swappa fully functional and the buyer managed to get some kind of lock code on the device and returned it. Anyway how do I fix this since I can't even get to settings or anything without this code? It's not a FRP, it boots to the lockscreen but when you unlock instead of going home it goes to this screen where it asks for a code. What do I do?
Does it show how many digits it's asking for? Is it sprint variant or open market?

I kind of do think it is asking for a netowork unlock code most likely. However, I don't really know how to bypass it because I can't get to the settings to enable USB debugging or anything.
I would suggest trying the Back to Stock zips on it because it wipes everything and see if that works. You can also try and load TWRP and use it to delete the lock screen password files and then flash the boot image so it boots normally and then you should be able to swipe to dismiss the lock screen. Hope this helps you out

I believe in fastboot mode you don't need usb debugging. In fastboot is where the network unlocking happens.
