just bought a 2nd hand g1 from a friend...
i forgot the pattern and now the g1 is asking for my google account and password and neither me nor my friend remembers it....
please plese please help me with this reguard ...what to do....
i am not a t mobile user as it is not used in our country so the phone uses another gsm sim...please tell me what to do??!!!!
First of all, don't make multiple threads about the same thing.
Secondly, if it's asking for a GMAIL account, I'm assuming you wiped the phone so now you'll need to sign up for one.
Hope you enjoy your stolen phone though (can't see your friend forgetting a pattern he/she used whenever unlocking the phone).
A guy i know has an s6 edge +. He told me that even after hard reset, it still asks him for his google password, which he does not remember because when he setup the phone, he did it with a new gmail.
So, now that he is locked out, is the only solution to flash the stock firmware through odin? If yes, where can i find stock firmware for s6+? Is it the same as s6 firmware?
Thanks!
Even after Odin flash, it will require the password. Unless you know the password, you are pretty much locked out.
Are you 100% sure about that?
Thanks for replying btw
Am... why doesn't he recover the gmail password ?
I am sure there he needed to put in the Mobile Number to approve the account or some alternate E-mail / Security Questions to recover lost password ?
Well if he tried to fool system - I am sorry to say this - but then he does not deserve an easy solution in this case.
(Thinking n my head: How the f.... do you forget your Gmail password ? If it's new, you just created it, or??)
Best,
Dpool
I agree with you. I'm just trying to help the dude a little bit. As i said in the 1st post, the guy made a new gmail and forgot everything after that. If there is no solution then there is no need for him to make the trip and bring me the phone. Problem is... I want a solid answer and i haven't got that yet. Thanks
I understand it. But people here at XDA are really cautious about answering this type of questions as we don't have certain proof that the phone actually belongs to that person. It is a rule as well. I'm not judging, just saying. I could be wrong as well. There are a lot of ways to recover your Google password including the help of recovery email address. You have to research on that by yourself and this is the clearest possible solution we can give you. Good luck!
If it is really your friend phone, on any samsung store they can help your friend
Hello!,
Just recently purchased an unlocked S7 SM-G935F phone several weeks back, and got locked of the google account. I can't get password from google because I think the password was compromised. Google refuses to provide the password or reset it. So, my question is how can I modify this phone without having the developers tab tap 7 times get back to it's original firmware? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Sorry but you didn't give enough information.
First of all, if the phone is not yours, give it back to the owner or don't try to access data without passwords: it is illegal, though impossible too.
If it's your legitimate property you can reset your google password with the methods you configured. If you find no way suggested to recover your password you will have to contact directly google customer service and hope they will try to verify your identity and give you someway access to your data, and device too.
The thing of developer option it's not correlate to your problem, maybe you want to install a custom aoftware (rom, kernel etc) but you didn't say that. And anyway there are tons of guides which you maybe already read. If your device is locked there's no way to recover it without your google password. Don't try flash strange things you will brick it.
Suspect

Nope, it's my phone. I purchased it several weeks ago as mentioned before. I have a receipt from Amazon as proof. I honestly got locked out of the phone and can't recall the exact password because I probably tossed it away. I've called google 4 times still no avail. I would like to install a custom rom if possible. Any other suggestions? Id be willing to donate a few bucs.

Then go back to the Amazon seller and ask him/her.
I'm sorry but if you write here on xda you will likely find people who know what is going on. And anyone would be suspicious if you're asking to bypass a security lock. There are 2 cases, one is that that ain't not your device, the other is that you're so dumb to lock a 700$ device with a password you don't remember saying bull****s like " the password was compromised " or, which is fantastic, " I called Google 4 times" like if they have a number to call to get Samsung assistance. I'm really happy theres no way to acces phone without correct psw, but if you want you can keep waisting your time.Mods please throw away this tief
You forgot or "lost" your Google password? This doesn't sound right.
Why not recover your Google password using their online system?
"I cant recall the password because I probably tossed it away"
Love the "probably". Can be hard to keep track of bulls***.
Make your mind up - find a lie and stick to it. Did you probably toss it away or is the password "compromised"?
Good luck trying to fool anyone in here to help you out with your "problem".
If it was legitimately yours, then you would've set up a fingerprint and not only a password, don't you think that would've been smart? That way you would've not been "locked out of phone". Emphasis on "If it was legitimately yours".
Smell test is clear...
Password was compromised, password was tossed away... sounds legit!
I've actually done what this guy has but I did it on a freshy right outta the box with me swing the first owner. However this does seem suspect I would help if I knew you were the first and only owner but seeing you're not I cant.
I'm in the same boat. My father-in-law somehow got his S7 edge locked and forgot his google password at the same time. He went to a Verizon store, but they only told him to recover via google. He shipped the phone to me to try and help him unlock it. Google password recovery is by 3 methods:
1) send a text to the phone. Of course this doesn't help because I can't unlock the phone. I hear the tone when the text comes in, but can't retrieve it
2) Sends a code to another email associated with the google account. He swears its his daughter's email address, but when we put that code in, google says it doesn't recognize her email as authorized
3) tell google what month & year the account was created. He can't remember that either
At this point, I'm willing to pay someone to fix it. I believe it has the newest Nougat firmware. I tried many suggestions from YouTube, but I can't even get to the menu where you connect to a wifi signal.
Anyone willing to help or just think I stole the phone like the previous guy?

Put the SIM into another phone and receive the SMS. Simple.

THANK YOU!. At least I made some progress. Now I find myself in an endless loop...the phone keeps saying "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device".
My father-in-law has 2 Google accounts. Having put his sim in my phone, I was able to reset passwords for both of these Google accounts, but the phone doesn't like either of them.
Any more suggestions?
Oh. Without the sim, I was finally prompted to connect to a wifi.
Is it possible that no Google account was synced with this device?

I've fixed (can now log in) two of my father-in-law's google accounts. Its just that the phone isn't recognizing either of them now. I don't know if he has a 3rd account of if it was possible to set up the phone without one. I'm on Verizon with an iPhone so I don't know anything about android or google.
Read that you have to wait 24 hours after changing Google password, so I'll try it again tonight.
the scotsman - You are my F*CKING hero! 24 hours after resetting the google password, the S7 edge recognizes it and is now unlocked. My father-in-law (& mother-in-law) thank you.

Yes. Get the old gmail and password from your "other family member" and then factory reset the phone after that.
Boom, all yours.
