Hi guys just bought one plus 2 from ebay the seller said nearly new and hadnt used it much but when i turn it on its been reset and its asking for a gmail thats been registered to the phone what can i do can i bypass that as the seller wont give me his gmail addy and its the 1stt phone i have ever had thats done this please help
press and hold both volume- and power button. The phone will boot into recovery. Navigate to factory reset using volume keys and press power button to confirm. That should reset your phone.
just done that m8 and it says i have to log in using previous google account that was registered which is not mine this is crappy 1st phone i ever had thats done this
I'll say 70% portability is a stolen phone 30% founded
Sorry to hear you're been scammed.

Idk much but i 'd suggest you to install root and a custom recovery on it, go into recovery mode and format data and system, then flash a custom rom or the official one via fastboot

leave it under tap water for 2 mins than take the battery out and put it back in. now you should be unlocked.
If it was your kid who did that and he was smart enough to put down the same lock pattern twice, he should be smart enough to tell you which pattern he used, right?
Just do all you you can to get into download mode and do a wipe. I don't know odin but I think that can help you? If you bring to t mobile they will just put it in download and wipe.

If you try entering the incorrect pattern five times you will see a screen where there will be a place to click for people who forgot their password. It will ask you to enter your gmail user name and password. then will ask you to set a new unlock pattern and you will be fine
Get into recovery and do a factory reset/wipe depending on the recovery you use, keep trying tell you get it to boot into recovery.

Hey Guys, I have the same problem. I have an unlocked T-mobile phone here in Ontario Canada so that I can use it on the Wind mobile network.
I can't rememeber the pattern or the phone won't accept my pattern, I have lost my mind. I tried many different times.
the phone does not ask me for gmail account after 5 times but keeps on waiting 30 secs after 5 tries and then lets me try againa and again and again.
I tried to reset the phone with holding the vol down and pushing the power button, but it only goes back to the pattern screen.
I can answer the phone when I call it but that is it.
Can some one please help me.
I also downloaded kies, but it wont connect since I cannot get into the settings of the phone to let the usb connect with kies.
hope you can help..
cheers.

Hold both the vol+ and vol- and the power. You will see vibrant on the screen. Well keep on holding it will go black again. Keep holding... It will come back...let go...you should be in recovery mode. Delete user data. This will wipe your phone.

Hey seriously does this work? I have a Vibrant and two other Android phones (ie three different unlock patterns). I took the requirement to do the unlock patern off on the vibrant for the last couple of months and when I thought of allowing it I realized I have been messing with the other two phones more and forgot the unlock pattern on the vibrant.
Currently my Vibrant is in use but I will like to be able to lock the screen now that my GPS and lag problems are much better fixed, but I do not want to wipe everything first. If this works I can enable the lock pattern and try different patterns till I get to this screen....but it has to be for real before I loose all my connections and presets etc on the phone.

yeah, i've noticed that too but tbh, i wouldn't buy one of those just in case it was stolen. i'm hoping ppl will also be as wary of those devices.
This Is What Happened To Me, My Friend Kept Doing The Unlock Pattern And Made My Phone Get Locked Out, I Wasn't Worried Cause I Had My Email And Pass, Well Turns Out The Email And Pass Didn't Work...At All, It Kept Saying It Was Wrong And I Couldn't Go Into Recovery Mode Or Download Mode Because I Guess It Was A Hardware Locked Vibrant? I Have No Clue, Long Story Short This Is What You Do, Either Switch Out The Vibrant, OR Go Into ADB And Fastboot, Reboot Into Recovery

If your phone does not get into recovery or download. Best thing to do is just bring it into samsung for warranty repairs or exchange. Samsung canada covers it now free of charge. That's what I had to do, nothing worked for my first i9000m to get into recovery/download.

you are full of chit my friend. I've locked myself out of multiple android devices using the lock pattern and my gmail account unlocked them all.
If you don't know the unlock code and don't know the gmail username and password for your email account... sounds pretty darn stolen to me.
prove me wrong and I will be happy to help other wise go find a new route you thieves.

I did not steal this phone I bought it. I just calle tech support in Canada, and they told me to call tech support in the US. The US tech support told me that to do a hard reset, I have to hold down the Vol up and Vol Down button and power button for 15 sec and then let go to get to a reboot screen. I tried and it did not work. Then I asked to send the phone in for repairs and they said that it was not in warranty since I used it in canada???? Now I am **** out of luck.
cheers.
got the phone off the streets, i have it plugged in pc and stuff; any programs anything i can do to unlock it? Please ill do anything

start the phone in download mode and flash it to stock with odin. moar details plez?
Okay Do What? I have it connected through USB on my pcc to the phone.
I cannot get passed the unlock pattern part at all; Not even the google email thing will come up after 200 times! please tell me what program you were talking about
Edit: Never mind got it thanks to you Hehe i didnt go to download mode, just recovery mode.
you may not need the pc at all. first while the phone is off, hold down volume down, the hard camera button and then the power button. this will put the phone in recovery mode. form there you should be able to find an option to factory reset the device.
is this phone stolen?
edit. okay. cool. good luck with your new phone.
why are you guys helping a thief?
If the phone is stolen then the orignal owner will report it, and it will shut off and have a bad ESN right?

hello can anyone help me with the acer tab 500 lost password so tablet is useless tried all the easy stuff onlin like power button and vol u does nothing would bye the beer pluss whatever it takes in cash/postal moneyorder within reason lol to send it to you ill pay both way s/h.
Perhaps a complete data wipe? I think that will clear it, but it will erase EVERYTHING on your internal sdcard.
First, connect to your PC and copy any files from internal storage you want to save. You should be able to do this without unlocking the screen.
Second, shutdown, then hold Vol-Up & Power together until you feel the vibrate. As soon as you feel the vibrate, let go of power, but keep holding the Vol-Up and quickly flick the rotation lock back and forth a couple of times.
If your fast enough, you'll see some white text saying it's wiping data.
I can't remember if it continues to boot after this. If it doesn't just turn it off and back on. It should walk you through the initial setup wizard.
Important Note: if you're on a stock ROM and had renamed phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk, this prodcedure may (probably will) cause a bootloop. If you have CWM recovery installed, then there's no problem, just reinstall your ROM if a bootloop occurs.

Plug in a USB keyboard and boot up with volume down and power button.
When you see the booting recovery kernal in small letters in the upper left corner start tapping the home key on the keyboard.

Recently my friends SG5 was stolen, but she got it back. The person who stole it changed the password to unlock the screen. She does not know the new password and the fingerprint scanner no longer comes up as an option to unlock the screen. An option does appear though to use an alternate password to unlock the screen. She does not know the new password that the thief set. She also forgets her gmail account name. She wants to keep pictures and everything from the phone, so she does not want to do a factory data reset or erase anything. Is there any way to unlock the security on the phone so that she can access it again? Thank you.
Ask the one who stole it the new password or how he manage to change it. If you manage to recover the phone how hard can it be to ask the password at the same time?

I'm sure it does, but she is your average person who buys a phone from a cell phone carrier who doesn't tell her that her gmail account is important or anything else about it. She didn't know that she would need it. She didn't link it to her common email account because she didn't want Scroogled by Google having more information about her. Now she has her phone that she can't even use. Is there anyway to get the fingerprint scanner option to come back on? That way she could unlock it with her own fingerprint.

Not that simple. She is a substitute school teacher. A student stole her phone and later brought it back. The student doesn't remember the new password. Is there anyway to access the fingerprint scanner?

Well, its really easy to do i had the same problem but i didnt got my phone stolen if you need your photos/videos then install drivers in your windows pc and connect you phone to the pc via a usb cable and when you browse the phone you can copy every thing to your pc even its locked
After all its not an iphone xD after copying the documents take the battery out and removing it from tge pc put the battery in and dont power it on
Now you will have to use a special button combo to get into recovery mode and thats (VOL UP+HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON) you will have to press these at the same time and keep the holded until the phone goes in the recovery mode,
Now you will se diffrent options navigate to "WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET* by using volme keys and press the power button to confirm the it will ask you for confirmation do that and your phone will reboot after a while than it will take some time for the first boot and BOOM you will be presented with the welcome screen and youre ready to use it again
Dont forget to hit the thanks button,it wont bite
Sorry for bad english i was in hurry

Thank you very much for that information and getting back to me so quickly. Would you know how to copy text messages from the phone too while it's locked?
The security features of the phone a designed to keep people from accessing some one else's private information. Since almost every possible "legitimate" recovery solution seems to be non functional, I think your friend should expect to lose a good bit of the data on her device and she should just be happy to have her device back.
If it were my device, I would not hesitate to completely wipe every last trace of data from before it was stolen. Usually restoring the factory firmware is the best way to achieve this. God knows what the other person who had access to the device loaded onto it and it is probably best not to even try to find out.
hello
you must flash wich odin firmware because the fingerprint is not possible to unlock
I bought a Lemfo lem7 smartwatch yday through aliexpress. During settings I switched the screen lock option and now cant unlock the screen doing whatsoever. I have rebooted by pressing the power button to no avail. Can anyone help? How can i do a factory reset as this watch has a single button?
About the same question
I got mine ordered at Banggood 2 days ago, and tested it's feature's without SIM card so far. Last test was company email configuration using exchange account setup. All worked out fine except the required pin-code unlock to start Andoid (after reboot watch).
After a while i got annoid to use the pincode input, and liked to get rid of the exchange account so i deleted this account in my LEM7.
But next reboot, i still got this pin code input screen but without onscreen keyboard !!
So the same question as topic starter, how to restore - do a factory reset with only one physical button ?
Or using the supplied smartwatch-dock with USB connection at Windows computer.
What procedure ? Software ? How to obtain factory ROM not having any backup ?
Next i will send Banggood.com service request.
thanks for any support , Hans
Yeah. Anybody knows please respind. How to do a factory reset with one physical button?
Have anybody found the solution to rsset LENFO LEM7 physically??
Go to proboards, maybe they can help http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/thread/2252/lemfo-lem7-discussion-thread
Hello,
I guess you have to hold the power button in booting process. So long pressing power button for 10 second to reset watch and then during booting again long pressing power button. I guess then you will see new boot menu where will be HARD RESET option. This process is more or less same for all Android devices
Good luck,
Marek

And how would this fix a device what does not start Andriod before entering 4 numbers at the same device what does not shows a keyboard to enter these numbers ?
No, neither a solution.
Meanwhile i've returned my LEM7 to supplier Banggood, got my money including shipping costs refund. And have bought a THOR4 smartwatch instead. But i would not try to enable the security setting to input a pincode anymore neither at my current THOR4 device.
Another thing, experience of the passed weeks having a 'cheap' smartwatch with all it's features including 4G , most apps running on a small and round display and very tiny onscreen keyboard are hard to use. Or not even to install when required to tap at YES / NO the yes or no is not visible on the screen neither full round or squared display setting.
Using a 2 (micro) sim card of my provider, can only use one device (watch or smartphone) at the same time. Have to set one in airplane mode to use the other as a phone .
And have you ever entered a password at onscreen keyboard on 1.34" round display ? not easy done for shure i can say !
Do consider the smartwath as a nice gadget, practically spoken prefer to use smartphone or larger display sizes .
Best regards, Hans
