I have a OnePlus 6T that is FRP locked and was wondering if someone can help me unlock it? I have tried the talkback way but I only have wifi on the phone so the maps don't load for me to get to google chrome.
I also have tried flashing but my computer doesn't seem to want to install the qualcomm driver. When I plug in the phone it doesn't install the driver either, I am running Windows 10 64 bit on a Microsoft Surface Pro.
If anyone can help me it would be appreciated. Also, I am located in San Diego and if someone wants to charge me to do it for me I am willing to go that route.
Not trying to come off as rude, but people on these forums are probably not likely to help you in any way. If your device if FRP Locked, you must have the account information that corresponds to the phone. As this question is usually asked with stolen phones because you do not know the account info, unlocking FRP is illegal. Ask the phone's previous owner for their info, or if purchased online ask for a return/refund.

I understand your point but there are many threads discussing FRP unlocking for other devices on this forum.
Yeah, no one is going to help you here. Sorry dude. If the phone is legit then you should be able to ask whoever's account is locked.
Otherwise, a new account on XDA asking for help FRP unlocking a phone.. Prolly wont get what you are looking for.
Actually, someone PM'd a solution and I unlocked the phone. Instead of getting to Google chrome through maps I accessed it through YouTube. Then installed the FRP bypass apk.

Good to know you were able to unlock your stolen phone.
FRP bypass is not legitimate and is always suspect.
Either you stole a phone or bought a stolen phone.
Might want to keep the bragging to a minimum.

I didn't steal anything. I'm a Uber driver and someone left there phone in the car. I found it underneath the car seat and I didn't get anyone asking about it. I don't go around stealing phones. That's how people get hurt.

Sorry, but it is a stolen phone and unfortunately someone here helped you steal a phone.
You may not have taken it from the hand of someone, but you didn't buy it and you didn't turn it into the police.
Finders does not equal keepers.

Turn it in to the police? For them to do what? How old are you? Seems like you are more intent on being right then doing the right thing IMO

It was an example.
But you can claim indignation if you like but I'm not the one with the phone that doesn't belong to me.
I do know that if you leave the phone plugged in the person is more likely than not to call and locate.
If you pop the SIM and put it in another phone you can get the number and leave the owner a VM.
So with a moderate amount of effort you can usually find the owner.
Been there, done that.
Found, stolen. Whatever. It's not yours.
Now I'm done.

I found it underneath the car seat with the battery dead. I charged it and turned it on and didn't receive any calls for 2 weeks. I'm not playing babysitter. If you don't claim your phone through Uber or call me, which you can easily do, then that goes in the lost and found for 2 weeks until I sell it.
Just because you want to sit on your high horse in a hypothetical situation doesn't mean anything. If you were in the possession of the phone you would do the same or worse. At least I waited for someone to claim it. I'm not responsible for someone's absent mindedness.

Kay so i have a problem with my Nexus 6P
Let me tell you the story
Since the update from 6.0.1
I had battery problems like the most of the people..
So i decided to make a backup on my google account and reset it. I was dumb, and lazy and i just entered some random things in registering email etc like [email protected]om
Then it wasnt fixed. But i wanted to go back to my old account, so i resetted it again.
This time he askes me this: his device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.
I dont know the account anymore, so i'm probably ****ed. I tried my setup account i've used when i configured it. I did make a call to google, but due connection problems i couldnt understand what he was saying lol..
He sayed that this can be fixed in 72h ( dafuq so long without my phone i'll die )But there is also a chance it wouldnt. So he said if that doesnt solve it i need to go back to the shop where i buyed it. I have proof of purchase etc. I just dont want to leave my phone for 4weeks alone lol.. Im pretty addicted to this..
I'll just use my OnePlus One tho..
Anyone that had this in the past? I need some serious help.. I've ****ed it up probably..

I am not sure if I am understanding what happened exactly....
Why exactly did you set your phone up with a google account that you don't know the password to? Why would the account you are logged into the phone with change any issues with the phone?
I apologize in advance, but, I am always a little weary of someone just asking for help unlocking a phone.
I would be willing to help, but I need a little more insight and exact details on how you got into this predicament.
Again, no offense meant, this just looks funny to me.

Your post makes no sense. There are no battery problems with this phone, and there is no way to sign into a Google account unless you have the password for it. Do not tinker with your phone unless you know what you're doing.

who registers a bogus account to their phone?
I know XDA'ers do a lot of dumb things sometimes, but even this makes absolutely no sense. I smell dried cod.
Hey guys, I'm (somewhat) new!
I'm going to buy a Nexus 9P used today from a guy I don't know. The phone is supposedly in as new condition and the first thing I plan to do with it is a reset, then logging using my regular account.
Will I risk ending up in the same situation as the OP? What is the security process for Android account? Why would it lock me out if the phone has not been flagged as stolen? I've never bought an Android phone used before, especially with Marshmallow encrypting the FS I'm starting to worry!
Thanks to whoever can tell me if I risk running into problems and how to avoid them!
have him turn it on in front of you and make sure the phone boots up into android
play with it a bit.. look for cracks, etc. if youre forking over that kind of cash, you do a fairly thorough inspection.
Yeah thanks, I'll inspect it closely. Thing is, I'll not be able to put in my SIM immediately, (upgrading from a One M7, I have a micro SIM when the 6P requires a nano) so I'll be without Internet connection when I make the purchase decision. Is there a risk from the software security point of view?

shouldnt be... just ask him to leave his SIM in until you test the phone.
If he starts acting squeemish, or makes excuses for simple requests, I wouldnt touch the phone
Thanks everyone for the replies tho.
I dont understand why i did it.. But i needed to go, and i wanted to use my phone. So i maked a fast new account. Is there any chance that it will be unlocked tomorrow (72H will ben passed on friday) I dont know im truly new with this kind of security.
I had expierence with rooting, unlocking bootloader. But i dont want to risk this on my 6P since i can say byebye to warranty then. And this still is under warranty (i think so). I just dont want to wait 4weeks since it needs to be sended to Huawei and not to Google. It will take ages till i have my phone back.. Atleast if i'm lucky i can use my phone tomorrow. Anyone knows if i can use it tomorrow again?
This was a stupid move. ideed.. I'm feeling me bad due this lol
Everything seems to be working fine. I had the guy use his data connection to check out of his Google account and let me check in with mine. After that I did a factory reset and now I'm updating and installing apps.
Thanks for the help and sorry I have derailed the thread. I'm the (so far) happy owner of a Nexus 6P. Heading to the rooting guides next

ok, I tried. If you don't know your google password and can't recover it using "forgot my password" then its not your phone, if you were actually experienced in rooting and flashing then you would have solved this problem already. Sorry but a moderator needs to shut this thread down please.
If some how I have mistaken this I am sorry but you contradict yourself and make claims that are obviously not true based on the sentences that follow the statements your making. If it really is your phone then take your proof of purchase and walk in to any cellphone repair store.

No worries, this thread needed derailed! I recommend Heisenberg's guide (found on xda) and the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT) by WugFresh (I believe also has a thread in development now) for the driver check process, it will make sure you have no conflicting drivers installed. Have fun!

Wtf is this for a forum even.. You can think it can be stolen, but i can get every proof on the table its mine. It looks not very truthfull. But all i ask is for a little bit of help. I've worked hard for this phone, since i do only a vacation job. You can think what you want, if you believe me or not. But i need help. And yeah, i know that it will probably fixed with flashing a new rom because this isnt caused by a hardware unit. I just dont wanna risk my warranty and not this time, becaus if i **** it up i can say byebye to this great phone.
Anyways thanks you'd tried to help.. But it makes no sense that you think this is stolen. As i said, i'll do that. But i dont want to lose my phone 4 weeks. Maybe in your country you have some nerd asses that fixes phones. But me and my friends have bad experience with them. They ****ed up some of my friends phones, and just said it wasnt her fault. Closed, they couldnt do anything with their phones. I tought you guys could tell me more about that 3-day limit. But you actually dont know what you are saying. You are just joking yourself this one is stolen. And so what? If its stolen would that forces you to not help people? I can show you everything this one is not stolen.
Anyways somebody that can help me, and answer my question?

Again, password recovery through google. How many times should I type it? There is also a username recovery option. You seriously gonna sit here and tell me that you can't answer any of the details about your account via any of the recovery options!?!?
No, I am not sorry. Why would you care about your warranty if you can't survive 72 hours without your phone!?!?
Nothing your saying makes sense at all. I am done responding to you, think what you want but after 10.5 in the private sector as a PMC (private military contractor), you are full of it.
I hope that no one on this forum helps this guy get into someone else's account, if they have android pay then this guy gets their credit card info, this could really screw someone over.
Google has in place proven and effective ways to get your username and password back if its really your account.

But that doesnt give you the right to say it is stolen. If i worked even harder for it then you will ever do in your life. Grow up kid, you're just here to make some fun, i'm looking for some guys that are here to help people. If you cant help people then just leave.

First off nobody said its stolen secondly I have never seen google ask for the last account used when setting up a phone. It asks for the Google you intend to use for the phone. Honestly from what it sounds like since you didn't properly setup the google account you most likely will have to make a new one or call google and set on the phone with them until they can locate and figure the password but if you cannot provide sufficient information about the account they will not help you. Hopefully this will help and just so you know we cannot see or use any link you put up due to limitations per xda rules

I have, when I borked my friends phone I used Wugs toolkit to just reflash everything and then it asks what the ladt account was. Basically a security check from google for people who like to steal phones and just fastboot them. Makes complete sense and I love it. Makes for funny moments when people forget passwords.
But none of this adds up. HOW on gods green earth have you "unlocked phones" before but mysteriously don't have a previous google account. Hmm...
Nope, none of this adds up at all...this is all wrong.

Thanks for replying. And trying to help me. If the 3-day limit is passed and nothing happened, i'll just go back to the store. Will Huawei help me as long as i have a proof of purchase (wich i have)? I'll just go then by the store where i buyed it. I hope that will work. Thats my only hope.. Anyways happy new years eve for you guys Thanks for helping me, shows they are some guys with real hearts out of here lol.

Well yes, obviously. Because if it is/was stolen why would anyone want to help you use stolen property when next time it cound be their phone that is stolen?
Also, what do you expect the shop to do for you? I dont really see why you dont just set it up with a new google account rather than keep trying to get into one you obviously wont use.
For starters, I've got the Tmobile version (not sure if that makes a difference, but I figured I should say it)...
I'm sure I tried everything I could except the method that involves the OTG cable. Trying to root it or apply twrp recovery only fails each and every time through odin.
I tried Smartswitch. I tried Kies... Kies actually took a really long time and I thought it was going to work, but it didn't.
I even tried to do some wifi/server things with another phone by using thethering (is what I believe it was)...still no luck.
The phone belonged to a sister of mine, but she couldn't remember the password she used to log in. She passed the phone on to my dad. He was never able to get in and now I've got it.
I thought rooting it would fix the problem, but that's because I knew about the chokehold security on it... the FRP business.
Can someone please help me? My sister says she's working on it (which probably means she isn't or it's on the back burner). I would really like to use the camera on the S5.
Is there another direction I can go in to get into this phone? It's driving me a little nuts at this point.
good luck getting around it without paying an unlocking company. if its actually your sisters phone, you might want to poke the bear, otherwise youre gonna be spending $?? to get it unlocked. I say ?? after the $ because of the variability of the price from site to site. I know that idoneapps.com does it for $35, and i trust their work completely, but ive also seen people talking about other sites advertising that theyll do it for less from companies out of zimbabwe. take the location of the company for what its worth. Anyways, poke the bear aka, your sister (no insult intended, just a euphemism)
Thanks -- offense taken. I hope she's able to recover the password. I was almost certain I'd get a reply like this. It's annoying, but here I go-a-pokin. Thanks.

Come to find out that my sister had dropped the phone and couldn't turn it back on. She sent it to our dad... and he wiped the phone without thinking to turn off the security. He didn't know though... he came from an S4 and I don't think they had it on there. I've got a note 3 (my first real smartphone) so I had no clue this would happen.
He keeps telling me it's google and not Samsung. Apparently a year or so ago when he asked her for the password, she said she emailed google and they were going to send her the password in two weeks... I asked why two weeks and he couldn't give me an answer.
This truly is the pits. I'm literally still waiting for a call from either of them at this point.
Hi, I'm going to get straight to the point...
Basically I found an iphone X. I've done everything you can think of to try and reunite the owner with the handset. It's been impossible. The phone I think is blacklisted and icloud locked. My last resort was to factory reset which is obviously how I found it was icloud locked. All I know is their first name, imei number, serial number and the sim phone number which is on EE network before you ask. It's less than 6 months old and I am really ticked off that I have a £ 1000 paper weight on my coffee table which is essentially useless. Good only knows why the owner hasn't used find my iphone to mark it as lost and send a message to the handset saying "hey I lost my really expensive phone, what a dumbass! But you can call me on xxxxxxxxxx or email me at xxxxxxxxxx.co.uk and might be able to find a few coins in the sofa to buy you a beer and say thanks"!
So now what?!? Sell for spare parts or to someone in another country - f**k knows! It's such a waste.
So anyone have any bright ideas,anything, I'm all ears? Failing all else, make me an offer...
Can you even legally sell it? If it is legal to buy I am interested because a downgrade in firmware unlocks the passcode option and lets me unlock the iCloud stuff.

It's probably not. I wasn't aware you could do a downgrade to take advantage of some of the bugs/exploits in earlier versions of iOS in order to get passed the pin code and icloud lock.
Be a good fellow and tell me how to go about it...
Thanks

Let google be your friend for your stuff, I currently checked and it seems they are not signing any early version anymore so if it updated already you are out of luck and you should contact Apple directly and say you lost your account.

In that case I think I'm out of luck.
Just a quick question:
why is your repl to use goggle? In other words you're not going to help me out personally. What's with that...this site is all about helping people, giving them direction... because sharing is caring. You on the other hand have decided that because there is nothing in it for you then you can't be bothered to share your knowledge/skills/wisdom. If everyone was like that, humanity would be stuck in the dark ages!
Just a thought: you might actually find that helping another person is reward enough simply by the fact that their understanding and overcoming whatever it is, was only possible because of your help. The smile on their face, the knowledge they have gained and the satisfaction of overcoming the problem is yours to enjoy as well!
Spent another day searching/googling lost phones/property in my general location and still no luck. The owner must have given up on the idea of ever recovering the handset. I guess I'm stuck with a ridiculously expensive paper weight. Although a friend reckons there is a big market for handsets to be used for spare parts, especially Apple. It can be worth hundreds, even when saying that it is a lost phone and icloud locked.
It's such a F'ing waste. Anyway thanks for your comments.

I consider it a stolen phone as it is not yours so I would inform both apple and the police with the imei and hand it back to its owner.

Police weren't interested. They said the have hundreds of phones collecting dust and going nowhere!.They suggested I try to obtain the owners details from the handset and use my initiative to reunite man and machine....
Oy. Xda labs claimed this was a new thread. Sorry for the necro.

Hello recently I received S8 SM-G950F.
It is updated to latest 9.0 One UI
Is there a way I can bypass or remove the FRP?
OEM locked, USB debugging is off also.
I'd be glad if someone could help me
Cheers

Generally speaking to turn off FRP delete/remove all accounts from your phone if you can still get into system. IE: Google/Samsung accounts.

No I can't access it.
I'm stuck on setup screen..
I've found a solution (maybe) I have to flash combination firmware U4

Should work but due to XDA rules not supposed to really support frp bypassing although there are plenty of how to's but maybe this thread might provide some insight.

My case is the same. I've got the phone from close relative and he also doesn't know Google password.
It's a waste to throw this phone away really.
Thank you for replying me, have a nice day/night
Just google it my bro. Its not hard.

LOL. Had the link said that Zeus came down from the heavens and gifted it upon Kenzyyy, while jumping on 1 leg and singing the hokey pokey.... Kenzyyy would have had the same exact case.
I don't know why everyone doesn't just say that they stole it/bought a stolen phone/were given the stolen phone from a friend that realized it was useless after they took it. It's amazing how 100% of the people on XDA asking for this, have this exact same scenario. Now, onto googling on how to crack 7 FRP locked phones for a friend
(He was gifted them, as he works in a cell phone repair shop & they give a discount on a brand new phone to those people...literally the same one anyone else could have negotiated to w/o an FRP phone)
Kidding...Kidding...But it was just to illustrate how preposterous these unoriginal fake stories always are. At least be a little creative, like you would be when scamming the MSL code from a Sprint rep. By claiming that you're a developer and need it to test your apps functionality.
[He was only gifted 6 phones, and they all had cracked glass and damaged OLED's. And those people actually paid $5-$10 more than the non-FRP phone trade in people that negotiated well. Had they not offered the trade-in, the people wouldn't have realized it was just a normal discount]

I used to buy devices from police auctions 99% of which where frp locked. But by law I owned the devices. I had official paper work. So in these cases frp bypass was legit. But. Every ones brother cousin dad mom everytime forgot their password and I've heard the stories so many times now almost identical in each case. Its uncanny. ????

Exactly. There are legit cases when people have them in their possession. But, when someone answers "My case is the same. I've got the phone from close relative...." It doesn't exactly exude confidence. It simply shows that the person literally didn't even try. I mean, who immediately says that their case is exactly the same, to the very first story they're told.
This ruins it for the rest of the people that legitimately have them. As the mods don't want many of these questions answered. Not only that, there are threads where it's posted in detail, yet the OP decided that they're too lazy to search on their own. Not exactly surprising from someone that states "My case is the same. I've got the phone from..."
If for nothing else, these are usually good for a laugh.

It's not so absurd actually.
My neighbor gave me her s8 before moving back home. In fact she replaced it simply because of a tiny scratch... Some people? Anyhow. It never occurred to me until that night ****ing with it trying to reach her... She has yet to respond...I ended up trying to reset it and found this... Which I've never encountered before. I was a software engineer back in the day (University of Michigan Mathematics Dept.GO Blue!) and upon seeing this I figure piece of cake. Well I'm now impressed and indeed relish a challenge. For I really don't need the phone. But I'm considering a reflash approach.
I understand the purpose of such rules but it does stink when your real agenda is intellectual.
Ok, so my sister drives Uber and 3 months ago a passenger left their galaxy s10+ in her car. Yes, she tried to reach out to them, and now that its been over 90 days and noone has claimed it, she decided that she wants to gift it. Well... She went on youtube and looked up how to factory reset. Now when it powers on, it says "unauthorized attempt to reset..." So shes asked me to try to access it. Now, i haven't used a samsung phone since before Knox was integrated. I dont know how the security works or how i can bypass the google account verification. I dont even know if its possible to access and use the phone now. Im basically a noob here. Can anyone help me out?

Which model is it? If its the US model (G975U or G975U1) i dont think theres a way. If its the international model (G975F) i believe someone has accomplished bypassing protection. Dont know the exact method though.
Sent from my SM-G975U1 using XDA Labs
I can only assume that it is a US model
It sounds wildly unlikely that anyone would leave behind a $1000 phone and ignore someone's attempt to reach out and return it. And unless XDA changed its rules posting any methods to get around the lock on a phone gets you banned. Samsung customer service could likely have found the owner of the phone if there had been any sincere desire to return it to the proper owner.

Your sister is uber driver. Do you think the passenger don't have your sister's car info? I smell something fishy about your story
I appreciate the concerns as to the legalities of my question. Yall are saying the same kinds of things i did. In the end, i told her "its impossible, sorry." And I've washed my hands of it.
