[Q] Cancelled Nexus 4 order, but still "Limit Reached".

So, I tried to order two Nexus 4 today, but the address was all wrong. I went to Help Center and apparently I can't change the address, even if my order is still processing. Anyway, I had do cancel it. The thing is I can't order 16GB Nexus 4 anymore, even if I cancelled the last order. The "Limit Reached" message shows up and seems like there's nothing that I can do about it. Does anybody knows how to solve this?

Buy it with a different credit card? Or make a new account to buy it on
Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.5 GHz on Stock 4.2.1

Making a new account seems to be the only way to buy it right now.
Thanks anyway, IRX120.

From my own experience (trying to buy, but not canceling an order), currently it takes some days to Google for processing the orders and, maybe, the same occurs to cancel the attempt. It seems you need to wait some days to process your actions.

Just installed Pure Nexus and won't sign in now

Hey, I just installed the Pure Nexus rom which went smooth but now I cant sign into my google acount. It says device was reset. To continue sign in with a google account that was previously synced to this device. I am entering my email and password correctly but it won't let me sign in. Any help would be appretiated.
EDIT- My device was showing that I had LTE signal but I switched to Wifi and it worked. My cell signal must not have been working.

Be careful because if you change your password and then factory reset it will lock you out for 72 hours. New security feature.. Happened to me on my Nexus 6. ?

FRP....OH NO!!!!

Well...Making a long story short, a grandchild of mine played with the lockscreen on my Verizon S7 edge. And you know whats coming....a password was set, a password was forgotten, and a phone was reset. Now, Google's FRP lock is in action, and no matter what I do I can't get around it. My Google account information doesn't work on the phone now. I have searched for and tried everything to get around this, including using Odin to flash stock firmware using the method and firmware files here....<< Stock Firmware For Your Verizon S7 Edge and Quick Guide>> By Misterxtc, Recognized Contributor on 24th March 2016, 04:04 PM.
I guess I have a really nice looking paperweight, but maybe someone here has an idea? Another firmware? A backup someone is willing to share that may get me back into the phone? Anything????

Contact google

Can you change your password with Device Manafer?

Been busy with 4th stuff...but don't seem to be able to do what I need to through device manager...."yet"

This sounds a bit sketchy. FRP only requires you to sign into the phone with the original Gmail account that the phone was set up with. That's it. So do you not know your Gmail account password that you used to set up the phone? Or did you change actual Gmail password first and then try setting up the phone within 72 hours of changing your account password? Something isn't making much sense. If you can log into your Google account on your computer, then you can log into it on your phone...

This thing is there to prevent the phone being stolen and sold off to someone else. It's obviously imperative that your account details be noted in the event of this and/or OEM Unlock be selected in Developer Options.
I had this happen to me a week or so back, I was messing around with the phone trying to get ADB to authorise on my laptop, and somehow I must have disabled the OEM unlock. Next reboot, it refused point blank to boot into either Android or recovery (which was TWRP). Fortunately, I knew my Google credentials so I simply flashed stock, booted, logged into my Google account when it asked (after it made clear the phone wouldn't work if I didn't), turn OEM Unlock back on, flashed TWRP again and restored my Nandroid backup from a few days earlier. Crisis over. Obviously, without those credentials you potentially have a serious problem.
However, as suggested, contact Google. Providing you can prove you are the holder of the account (and I assume you can), then I imagine there would be ways around this. I'm also unsure why you mention the lockscreen. It has nothing to do with that. FRP lock is entirely down to the Google account on the phone when the FRP lock occurs.

This is fairly easy to bypass, sadly enough. Hit me up on Hangouts and I'll be happy to walk you through if you still need help.

My FRP method this:
Phone G935A, used Firmware G935U (not AT&T bloatware)
Insert prepaid sim 0$, and 0mb internet, but LTE network...
Personalise phone start, and wifi not turn on. Google verification fail, and NEXT button active...
Personalise finish, and turn dev.opt on, oem unlock on, and add the google account.

No, don't contact google. No don't bother with any of this bypass crap.
Contact samsung. Tell them you are the owner of the device and would like to get it unlocked. They will ask for a very detailed list of information to prove you are the owner of the device. Once they get this information from you they will send you an email and a Pre Paid label to mail it to them. Samsung will unlock it and mail it back to you.
Source: I work for a company who terminated an employee who had this protection enabled. This is what Samsung had me do.

i can do in 10 mints without contacting samsung via flexihub

Information is listed all over this forum on how to overcome this dude just research.

Hmm - Saumsung WOULD NOT reset my phone. I have a $200 Boat Anchor?
After 2 support "cases" closed with no notification to my *other* phone or my email, Samsung did send a shipping label, and I sent the phone. Upon arrival at their service center, they proposed a fee of about $70 to perform the re-initialization. I paid the fee with delight. They next advised me that they won't do the job. Perhaps it was because the phone is 8 months "out of warranty".
They did not dispute the validity of my purchase transaction. If this is their idea of "Support", I will not buy another Samsung phone again. Closing support incidents without notification to the problem reporter is garbage, and billing before refusing to do the work is worse than garbage.

stuck on google account verification post-flash

I was flashing my S8 from AT&T to unlocked firmware. As far as I can tell the flash was a success because the phone booted up OK, EXCEPT upon startup I got the screen that said there was already a Google account loaded on my device. That was fine since it was my Google account. I logged in with my Google info and then it was going to verify by sending a text to my number, which I allowed. Then when it seemed like it was ready to move on a little info popup said that there was an unknown error and that I'd have to wait 24 hours to try again.
From googling, I see that this seems to be part of the factory reset protection, but why is it locking me out when it's my phone and my Google info is the right info? I even got an email to my Gmail address that welcomed me to my new Samsung Galaxy, so it's clear that Google accepted my credentials. I just can't seem to get past this part of set-up though.
Any help is appreciated. I feel sick with a $700 non-functional phone.

go to recovery and factory reset. should solve it

I did that already and it still goes to the Google verification. I did wipe cache/factory reset just to cover all the bases. When I google this, I understand factory protection is in root so it's not affected by wiping cache. In the end, I don't necessarily need to circumvent the Google verification because it's not like it's a stolen phone. I just don't understand why I'm getting an unknown error from Google upon entering my credentials. Is that a Google error, does it means something is corrupt, etc.?

If you recently changed your google password or verification steps this will happen. I have been bitten a few times from it, its pretty damn stupid to be locked out of your own device. Here's an article on it: https://www.androidcentral.com/what-do-if-youre-locked-out-your-phone-after-resetting-it/

I haven't changed my password though. I feel so lost because usually in Googling you can find someone else who had this problem, but it seems like no one else did.
Here's the one thing that I must have done wrong as far as I can tell. Before I flashed I went into Samsung settings and deleted my Google accounts (I had 3 set up on the phone). Then I powered off the phone and flashed. The reason why I deleted them was because one of the things I read was that doing that will protect you from Google lock. Is it possible it did the opposite?? I've done flashing before with Nexus devices. This is my first Samsung. I was too afraid I'd screw it up and right now it feels like I did.

Seeing that an option on that link you posted was to call Google, maybe I'll just do that. If Google doesn't know, who does? :laugh: (fingers crossed) and thanks!

I buy and sell phones and have this happen to me at least once a week, the only way around it is to wait the 24 or 72 hours, it sucks. I just recently did an Xperia Compact and only had to go into the stock recovery to wipe caches and then it let me in but that isnt the norm!

Ok. Well then this may be a silly question, but how do you know if you wait 24 or 72 hours? Try it after a day and if it still doesn't work, try again after 3 days?

you could try to do that or contact google support or samsung and see what they can say about this.

update: no help from Google. They don't care since it's not their phone (i.e. pixel or nexus) because they said there's no support for Gmail and my Gmail works fine, it's the phone that's broken. Soooo.

If u have flashed using twrp, try flashing latest Gapps or a little older version. This used to do the trick for me back in nexus and oneplus days.

so just to close this loop, sadly nothing anyone here said really helped. I was almost ready to buy a FRP bypass solution on ebay. I tried my main Google account and it still didn't work. On a whim, I tried one of the other Google accounts I had used on the device and it worked! I'm not sure why Google would lock me out with one account, but accept another, but that's what happened.
So, I got back in on my phone just by trying every Google account. The 24 hour waiting period didn't seem to matter.

M3 won't let me sign in to my google account and access it after factory reset??

I got this Mediapad M3 2-3 years ago and loved the light weight and the speakers are sooo good!! I used it regularly for a year and then began using it less frequently. Once, I forgot my lockscreen password and had to factory reset it. This happened again some months later again, I forgot the lockscreen pattern and decided to reboot after trying and failing to remember the pattern for months, literally!!
Then, when I started it up after the reset, it gave me all the setup things like language, wifi and so on and then a "sign in with google account synced to this device" came up. Now, I had forgotten the synced email so I logged in from the one I remember but it kept saying "Unable to sign in due to password change. Please try after 24 hours.". So, I just decided to switch off the tablet and use it later on.
Many months later, I again charged it, booted it up and did the initial setup. Then had to sign in with my synced google account, now I remebered my google accounts but had forgotten their passwords. Luckily, I was able to recover the accounts and changed their passwords.
After that, I tried logging in to the google account on the device. But it said the same thing "Unable to sign in due to password change. Please try after 24 hours." So, I tried again after 24 hours, 72 hours, a week later but the same thing is happening about the password change. I am very sure the emails I am entering are the ones synced with the device. But it won't login.
Please Please help me get access to it. I am losing my mind trying to get in, it's been more than a year!!
Edit: I haven't rooted it or added custom ROM or other such software. It was running on the android it came packaged with.
