Dear Master of Spica,
I bought Spica from my friend and it was original (unroot), but I couldn't remove the old account also add the new one. I've tried to cleared data and reset, but it was forced close, and the data still remain. I tried reset from recovery mode, but I could not enter the recovery mode, only blank screen, but when I released the buttons, it began to boot. Please help me to solve the problem, thank you very much
Sent from my HTC Magic
Recovery is only aviable after rooting AFAIK
Go to Settings->Privacy and try factory reset there (name in setting can be different, I use polish)
or
open Phone and input
Code:
*#*#7780#*#*
You will be asked to reset the phone. This will not delete any files from SD card.
I did a factory reset on my phone in the stock recovery and when tying to sign back in to phone pop up keeps saying to sign in with account of previous owner?????? bought the phone brnd new 2 weeks ago,ant help please
You have to sign on with the Google username and password that was on it before you reset it. You haven't changed your Google password recently, have you?
Is your bootloader unlocked?

Try a Hard Rest
1. Switch off you're phone.
2. Press and hold VOLUME UP and Power Key
3. When MI LOGO appears release them.
4. This is MI Recovery
5. Wipe & Reset
6. For option WIPE ALL DATA select YES.
7. All data is DELETED including the apps you had previosuly installed. NOW REBOOT to complete the operation.

Hello everyone, I am in need of some help, I have this old Essential Phone, I gave it to my son and he can't remember the unlock pattern, the bootloader is unlocked but usb debugging was not enabled after factory resetting it before handing it to him, booting with volume down takes me to a bootloader menu, but there's no option to factory restore, i can't wipe it using google, it says device not found...., Is there any way to unlock this even if everything gets lost?
adb is not listing any device, fastboot does show the serial number but refuses to flash anything.
Seeing as some threads get locked because of possible theft I can provide purchase receipts if needed.
Boot into recovery and just hit factory reset
maybe I will get a second hand samsung tab 6 lte lte I knowthat frp protect will be switched on if I reset it on recovery mde but I dnt know who is sellng me the tab have done reset from settings or from recovey so...if he did it from settings there is a way I can check if the frp protection is on without asking him t do a second reset from recovery mode so that I can see and be sure everything is unlocked?
you should ask seller before you buy it. usually it is enough to enable oem unlocking in developer options, but safest way is let them remove all google and samsung accounts from settings before factory reset.
