Don't do that.
The dev can set it thru the google account ...same way if you forget the password or pattern to unlock your phone...you just put your google email and password and is unlock...that's a good suggestions ...

Unlock the bootloader and anything like that would be worthless.
If someone knows how to flash a rom then chances are they can re-flash a different, non password protected recovery. Sounds redundant unfortunately.

What they are trying to say is that it doesn't matter what kind of password protection or whatever else you put on your device. All someone who has gotten a hold of your phone has to do is unlock the bootloader, and they can flash whatever they want...
ok.. so i followed all the steps to unlocking the bootloader successfully but the problem i am having after boot up is my home button has no functionality it vibs but that is all.. it does nothing.... i can't see this being a concequence from unlocking the bl can someone please help me....
Go back into fastboot and run
"fastboot -w"

Just flashed it and stuck into an endless loop.. Im trying to get over to recovery but I get stuck on the Google logo.. Pure Pwnage?
U need to plug into computer then use boot loader to get to recovery, it kinda a bug. Just try it. Hope it works. Remember to wipe before flashing LOL

phew.. thanks!!
I was playing a game on my nexus 7, it froze then when rebooted it it just got stuck on google screen. Read a bunch of stuff, went into recovery and tried to recover, it would say erasing but never go any further, just sits there. got toolkit tried to restore factory with that, now when it boots I still just get google screen but I get the menu in corner for start/boot/recover/power off. still never boots, when I try to run recovery now it doesnt even go to erasing. Ive read everything I can find to restore it, got 2 toolkits, unfortunatly everything tells me to put it in debug mode, which is funny cause if I could boot up and go into settings to turn on bebug mode then I wouldnt be having these problems... Can someone please help, Im good with computers but dont know much of tablets. I did no messing with tablet besides downloading updates when they came out.
unlock bootloader

My guess is no, I never messed with any of my system stuff. Everything was factory except for the updates it had me do as they came out.
How long you let it sit in recovery erasing before you rebooted it? Is there an option in boot loader or recovery for a factory reset? Beings you're not rooted I doubt those one click tool kits will work for you.

It sat in erasing for 1 hour and didnt do anything. I was doing factory reset in recovery.
As long as the boot loader starts you can recover your Nexus. Check this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
If he can't unlock the bootloader then there's not a whole lot he can do. Run "fastboot getvar all" while in bootloader and tell us what it says please. If adb is seeing your phone in recovery, then run an adb shell and do "ls -l /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/" please.
Sorry I can't help further but I just got this and don't know much. I am glad others came in to give you more help.

Damn... I didn't see he can't unlock the bootloader. This is going to be difficult.

Just sayin, I think you guys need to pull the back cover and disconnect the battery for at least one hour.
I am really new at this but it helped me save mine twice. I think?
After you plug the battery back in try fast boot.

But this will void my warranty right ?
They have no way in knowing you pulled your back cover off. Just be careful so not to leave pry marks. Only way they will know is if you tell them you did it.

I just got an S4 and its going through the setup wizard and I get to the end of and says Unfortunately, Settings has stopped. When I press OK it loops back into the settings; can someone please help me? I booted into recovery and did a factory reset and its still happening; any ideas? I am currently downloading odin and the factory image to try that.
Turn around and get a new 1

had everything to do with it..dont care if he just got it or not he was in a setup wizard boot loop like many people found them selfs in after rooting and removing something they shouldnt of only fix for that is to use kies like in that thread or get the stock image and odin it like the op did to fix it
Op. Did u try to root?
Someone probably rooted and messed it up...since 8t still got to the set up screen and appears to work he probably figures hed sell it to some sucker. Unfortunately this op probably bought it...amd there really wasnt much of a way for him to know it was messed with since setup still popped up
Just my theory...always make sure a device works when buying used...go through the setup, test all the main features. ..spend a good 10 minutes atleast with the phone before you actually give the guy money...and if your buying online like on ebay...good luck
