Hi guys, so today it was planned to receive a samsung s7
instead that i received a broken xiaomi a1
i don´t know if this was an error by the courier, because sometimes, they change the package with new shipping label, or some guy inside the company stolen me
so this xiaomi a1 is broken, touch is not working but the screen is ok, and it came with a pattern lock
i connect my mouse to the phone with otg adaptor and manage to make a factory reset
now when configuring new intro, it ask for previous gmail acount
guys it´s possible with some bypass or other tool, to discover the previus email registered of this phone?
with email maybe i can contact the person and see if this was a error or if someone stole me
ps. this story is 100% true
thank you guys
Never tried it, but you might have luck with one of these methods..

Why on earth are you messing with it, why don't you just contact the seller and get it sorted, the longer you leave it the more unlikely they are to believe the wrong item was delivered.
I would have been straight onto them with photos demanding an explanation.

I bought a samsung s7 in a mobile forum
seller have a very good feedback and i believe he sent me the correct item
however i received a xiaomi a1, in a box that was not closed, in a simple courier envelope ( this envelopes are only avaible for the courier), this means that maybe original package was open and in the courier made a new label with adress courier
so there are 2 hypotheses, the courier messed up, or someone in the courier make this
Physically boot fastboot and go from there to erase and install any stock firmware on phone,
but, more important, go after the seller to ship you the samung s7 you really wanted,
and, perhaps, ship back the mi a1 you kindly fixed.

i can easily bypass the google acount with youtube tutorials, but that isn´t my objective
i just want to try to find who is this google acount linked with this phone
to be honest i think the seller didn´t trick me, he have a good feedback, also this courier works this way:
i payed the post in a trasportation website and choose this courier to pick up in seller house
i send him the label to attach to the package, he told me that he put the phone box inside another package, sealed very well and then with glue tape he attach the priting label i sent him
because this courier requires this
so the courier pick up the package, and i received and courier envelope with a simple xiaomi a1 phone box with a broken phone inside
i already make a complain at the courier, but i will not expect so much because couriers suc***
This is all sounds very dodgy like people asking for ways to bypass bios passwords on stolen laptops and computers. Best thing for the OP is to contact the seller to sort it out.

I recently bought a phone off of ebay so i could swap out my bad board with its good board. Everything went fine but apparently he had a password on his phone. Is there any way to get around this so I can unlock the phone for use with my service?
First things first, contact the seller and ask. I don't want you to take offence, but when people ask for phone passwords on forums, it seems a bit 'dodgy'.
I have contacted the seller and he said he bought it at a flea market or something so no go there. the auction is here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120148658908&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002 so you can see I didnt steal it or anything I just needed a new main board and im SOL until i find a way to get around the password screen
Wow, must have been nice to win that for $.16. I usually agree with delude on the bypassing the password thing and won't usually tell anyone how to do it.
Instead of putting it on here how to do it I sent you a PM with the instructions.
I bought a fire from an acquaintance I run into from time to time at work and I'm having an issue. Apparently neither one of us were aware that it had to be deregistered before I could register it to me. The tech I spoke with at amazon informed me of this. This is a problem for me because I don't have a way to contact him, I usually just see him around. I'm wondering if there is a way for me to sign in to the amazon market within the app as opposed to it redirecting me to the kindle registering page? I rooted and installed google market and am really enjoying the fire but would like to access some of the apps that I have already purchased from amazon. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can deregister the Fire by going to Settings -> My Account -> Deregister. (No account information is needed) Then you can enter your own Amazon account. That way you can access the Amazon App Store and other Amazon content.

I'm assuming that because it was wiped before I got it that it's not giving me that option. It only gives me the option to register and if I try it give me a "contact customer support " message. The tech I spoke with said it needed to be dergistered but he wasn't allowed to contact previous owner about it.
The process of resetting the device to factory default does a deregister as part of the process. When done, the device is ready to go like right out the box.
Sounds like some other issue.

I don't know, I reset it twice trying to get it to work before calling customer support and the guy telling me that it had to be deregistered.
It is probably stolen.
There's a system app called "amazon device client platform", I'm wondering if freezing it would "seperate" the amazon apps from the device, essentially making the apps behave as if they were on a phone.

I really hope it's not.
The person who registered the kindle has to log into their Amazon account and deregister the device. If the fire was wiped, then that will be the only way.

By the time I run into him again CM7 or some other custom rom will probably be out and therefor I won't need it de registered any more.
I think that com.amazon.dcp.apk is the way to seperate amazon apps from the device making them behave as they would on a phone(ie.able to sign in within the app). I'm considering freezing that app and seeing what happens, I am however concerned that I might do some harm.
Perhaps?
If someone uploaded a clean version of com.amazon.dcp.apk and you deleted the one on the device would that work? Or is the registration kept on the Amazon servers? I don't really know, just curious if this would work.

I think that com.amazon.dcp.apk would either have to be frozen/removed or it would have to be altered in a way to not recognize the appstore. You see, when i go to the appstore and try to sign in i get kicked out to device registering, and I am trying to get it to let me sign in within the app like you would do on your phone. The appstore apk on the fire and the apk on my phone seem to be identical so it should be possible. I am in no way sure of anything, just making a slightly educated guess.

If you follow the guide on here on unbircking (i know your device isnt bricked) your device it will get it to the "out of the box" state in which you will be prompted to register your device under your own information. It will wipe user data which is what his information is under. You will need to reroot and everything afterward but it may fix your issue

Unfortunately I've had it at "out of the box state" for a while and I still can't get to accept my registration. I've been doing some google-ing and it seems I'm not the only person to have this problem, it's happening to people who ordered their fires directly from amazon,only problem is I can't return mine.
Just a guess... there is a registration number associated with the device which is not touchable normally.
When I first got mine, actually ordered for my wife, it auto-registered it to me even though I entered nothing. I had to deresgister the device and then use her account to register it to.
It was very weird to have it do that on it's own. This was an out of box unit that had never been used, yet it was already allocated to my account (like it was a gift).
I'm guessing that every unit has a unique code in it for that purpose.
Unless you can change that code where ever it is, I think you will be stuck.
Seems not worth the money to mess around with a used unit when you can get a brand new one for $199 or less (I got one for $123.99)

Seriously.... Incredible Deal? You bought an unknown unit from a friend of a friend that you can't get a hold of, that Amazon says is already registered and might possibly be stolen. It is like buying a cell phone with a blacklisted ESN number.

Yes. An Incredible Deal. If the unit was blacklisted i'm pretty sure the 2 techs i spoke to at amazon wouldn't have spent hours trying to help me register it. Besides as it sits right now it's an exteremly capable $100 tablet, even if i never get the amazon stuff figured out.
No... that is an incredible deal
I think this is a better "Incredible Deal"... Brand new sealed in the box with full warranty and return privileges. Only $24 (~$30 with tax) more than you paid for your used machine.

Hello guys, yesterday my S7 edge was stolen and I was able to track the device till one location, but couldn't find the device or the robber once I got there. I had the SM-G935F international variant (Exynos) - stock and first question I would like to ask is: Is it possible to turn off the device from the lock screen without the pincode/fingerprint? Because I think it was not possible when I had it.
I'm just asking because once I have reached the location the google maps timeline, stopped recording the movement of my device.. and have stopped since there..
Around 3 hours later my girlfriend (I put her contact as security), received a message on her device saying the SIM card had been changed. I had the device with 4G (wifi I'm not sure) and the lock screen was secured. I tried using Samsung find my mobile and was even more useless than google maps timeline, because It couldn't locate the device even when google maps could.
I went to the police and they say that, they could locate (but It's going to take a while) the sim card that was put on that IMEI.
Do you guys know another way that could help me know some information sooner? At least something I could help the police with..
Hope you can help me in some way.
I'm in Czech Republic btw.
Best Regards,
Neto
damn man, I'm so sorry for u, f*cking crappy ppl...
the easiest way to track ur phone is to detect via SIM/IMEI, for that u have to know that new code that was inserted (not easy for us, but police should have), all other services (google, samsung,whatever) works just when de phone is on and have a network connection/GPS active (that cannot be turned off with the phone locked), sad is, the phone can be turned off w/o problem at any moment. Last updates with google apps, doesn't let u use your phone even giving a factory reset because u need to put the last google credentials used in that phone (but I don't know if u have to activate that in some settings, in my older phone it was on by default)....
sad is no much to do here, hope police in your country is more competent that mine's
I also advise going the police route.
File an official complaint and ask for a file number so you know it's official and the investigation will be active.
Keep us posted on how things go.
I've already talked with the police, gonna know if they can find them by the EMEI..
Wish tracking devices were made much more simple..
Brother's stolen phone (iD*ot 6S) was found by czech police within two days (in Prg), so finger's crossed for you! If you are from Prague I could ask him which office he went to.
Not sure there is anything you can do at this point, but I will recommend an app that I use called Where's My Droid. You can get the paid version (I would highly recommend paying the small one time fee for this) and it does quite a lot. You can track it online from a computer, and even through text messages. You can use text message commands to take pictures from the front and rear cameras, get GPS location, lock the sim and prevent others from being used, and even change your pin through text. You set up the keywords needed so that others cannot send out a generic code to lock you out of your own device. I would highly recommend that app for your next phone. It may not prevent a theft, but at least you could get a picture of the criminal and provide that to the police as well.
Good luck on finding your phone, and I feel for you.

Yeah, it's unfortunate, especially for a new phone that's not cheap.
One workaround I did when I broke my phone screen out of anger right after I upgraded was open a new line on my account so I only had to pay the upgrade price for the phone again. Not sure if you have that option for your carrier or even country for that matter. But hopefully the police can help you out greatly.
I'm sorry about what happened, my s7 edge was stolen too like 2 weeks ago, I feel you bro. ****ing thieves
Hello. A have bought a phone from Ebay, and cant sign in to google account due to security reasons (thanks google)
Contacted the seller, to provide me his acc/pass, but its useless. I am getting the same error. Can some1 help me solve this problem please?
Sounds like you purchased a stolen device.
This is FRP, Factory Reset Protection, and it's new on Lollipop/Marshmallow (can't remember exactly)... If a device associated with a Google account is factory reset, you MUST have the Google account credentials that were on the device prior to the reset to use the device again, a simple yet effective theft deterrent but can be a problem for consumers uneducated to it in the secondary market.
It is a very similar to approach to how Apple has done it for years and Windows Mobile has adopted a similar concept with Windows 10 Mobile.
On a few devices there are work arounds, but I am not aware of a working one on the Moto X.
BTW, if the seller changed his password or security method (like turned off 2-step authentication) recently, the phone is locked out even with the correct credentials for 24-72 hours depending on security patch applied to the device.
Oh, and a super simple way to avoid this... Delete all Google accounts on the device prior to a factory reset and wait a couple minutes (ensure you have an active Internet connection) then perform the reset.
i supose thats is becose the seller turned on the 2 step autentification.
idk, should i wait those 72 hours? or mby contact motorolla support?

Up to you, but Moto/Lenovo won't help at all since you are not the original owner with a matching serial number receipt. No one will or can help you except the person who know the Google account and password that was on the device when it was reset.
The whole point of FRP is it isn't capable of being bypassed, even by the manufacturer, otherwise what's the point of it? If you could definitively prove ownership to Moto they might help, but you can't since you were not the original purchaser of the device and you really don't know what happened to it before you got it.
Unfortunately, unless the seller can be of assistance or is willing to take it back, you're pretty much out of luck. You could file a PayPal claim against the seller if they won't take it back and the device was not as it was presented in the listing though.
the seller provided his acc/pass for the device, i have even the original purchase receipt (amazon.it)
btw. i have contacted motorola support, and they said to wait 72 hours, then to try to log in again

Then things are different in your country than mine... Moto won't even talk to someone in FRP who isn't the original owner. Good luck, hope it works out.
Just because the device has prior credentials on it, doesn't mean it's stolen. In fact I would the majority of the time it isn't, but all the "experts" on these forums offer that as their only advice, because really they don't have any idea how to bypass. Thanks "experts"

And as always, sign out of you google account before any reflashing of any kind of new or resetting default factory resetting the OS. Recovering the OS through TWRP does not require sign out of the google account.
Hi everyone, I hope this is not ilegal or something... Well the thing is I got scammed on eBay buying and unlocked lg v20 us996, I already opened a dispute in PayPal but in the meantime I'm trying to fix this...
I've read some "solutions" but it's not at all explained so I've tried EVERYTHING and nothing works. My bootloader is locked and I don't have enabled OEM unlock nor USB debugging . So my question is, is there any way to activate these two other than in the phone itself ? (I can't do it the normal way since the RAC message blocks absolutely everything on the phone)
Could someone that has done this before walk me through this? I would extremely appreciate it!!!
Thanks in advance people.

Are you able to disable the RAC APP system side, and then reboot to see if they were lazy and didn't disable the usb debugging as well.

I dont know if this trick works on LG but on Samsung when I had a S6 I posted a fix for this somewhere on XDA where you put the RAC fix on a external thimb drive and plug it into your usb port on your phone after factory resetting it and it will popup the file manager and aftwr you install the RAC apk which is just a shortcut to settings you tick OEM unlock in Dev Mode and then root the phone. Again I don't know if it works still but worth a try.

This is weird, I literally just went through this same exact situation. I contacted RAC using the number provided on the lock screen, I explained the situation and they asked for my IMEI, they looked it up and they confirmed it wasn't supposed to be sold to me, they then instructed me to bring it into my local RAC location where they would buy the phone back from me, after I did this I contacted ebay and explained everything that I had done, they said as long as I was able to provide proof that this incident happened and the phone was "stolen" (sold to me without authorization from the RAC it was being leased from) that they would fully refund me.
I went back and contacted the RAC that the phone belonged to and asked them to fax over (to my local RAC) information proving the phone was being leased from them and was not supposed to be sold to me, they were happy to do this for me. I provided the documentation as well as pictures of it next to the phone to ebay and got a full refund (on top of the buyback from RAC for the phone) I then bought a NEW unlocked v20 from Brandsmart USA for 399$ it was about what I paid on ebay (I actually came out ahead because I got a full refund from ebay + a 150$ buyback from RAC)
if you have any questions feel free to PM me, I'll gladly help in any way that I can, people who do this are scum
