So I found my old S2 laying around and would like to use it but I was letting my Girlfriend use it then we broke up and after I hard reset it wont let me set up with out the previous email and password which was hers is there anyway of getting around this?
The easiest way be to get her to sign in then close her account.
Otherwise you need to bypass Google FRP.

I had put a pattern lock on my HTC HD2 but my phone went dead and after I put it in charge and turned it on the phone won't accept the right password like it doesn't recognize it ... so now im locked outta my phone . I know how to do a factory reset , but i dont wanna erase everything ..
I heard a whole bunch of stuffs and people everywhere be saying that they haven't heard any other way then the master reset to unlock the phone so I was wondering is there any other way I can unlock the phone without having to do a master reset cause I haven't backing up my datas on the phone yet and since it's locked now it doen't even allow me now to do any kind of synchronization on my pc. So since yall are the experts on that matter please help me cause I'm afraid of losing all my informations on the phone and it has been about two weeks now since I put the phone on a corner somewhere unuseful and waiting for an answer.
thanks already guys !
Unfortunately, there is no way out other than a reset. Sucks to hear I know. However, yank the SD card out first, at least you wont lose anything that's on that.
Going forward, you can use the built in Microsoft MyPhone to sync backups to your live account. Or any other number of backup software that's out there. You can also set your phone and video to save to the SD card.
Sorry man, it's the most frustrating thing about this phone.
Yea that is so frustrating ... but is there any way that I can back up my datas before i perform that master reset cause I have never back them up before and everything is saved on the phone even my contacts cause as the phone locked right now it seems impossible to me to do anything at all. Anytime I'm trying to synchronize the datas on my pc it won't let me and said "your phone is locked authenticate your phone first". So is there any way out ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately that's one of the bugs, that the lock screen will no longer function correctly, you won't be able to get in, ever, sorry
i think i know why it happens, at least for me...
seems whenever i install certain cabs, then uninstall them, this happens. most recently has been a swype cab i found off here, was the latest version for t-mobile hd2s. it installed fine and worked fine, but when i removed it, it caused the issue. i reformatted and only installed that cab, setup a pin, rebooted, worked, uninstalled the swype cab, rebooted, broke-wouldn't take the pin.
so maybe it has something to do with using non stock roms and using different kinds of cabs or something...
Just happened to me last week due to a forced server exchange policy.

same happended to me...and still looking to fix it
i already did the reset they told not to put a password on my phone
so im lookin if they find a fix so i can use password
Hello, everyone. I hope this question isn't too ignorant but I had to make sure and this seemed like the best place to ask. I recently bought a lot of phones from a police auction with the intention of reselling them. One of them is a lumia 550 that was password locked. After I factory reset it, its asking for the previous owners microsoft account. Would restoring or changing the firmware bypass this or is it basically a brick at this point?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I guess you need to see the old owner in prison for him to unlock your phone! I hope you have enough free time to meet him!
I was able to fix my phone that had the problem by hard resetting and changing the country during setup and finally hard resetting again. The next time it came up the phone allowed me to complete set up without requiring the reset protection key. This may not work in your case but its always worth a shot.
Just wondering, but did you ever get your phone problem taken care of?
Hello,
same issue at my end.. there is a solution?
Just picked up this tab, and can't get past the google sign in. It's asking me to sign in with a google address previously synced to the device, which of course I don't have. Tried to do a hard reset, and my fastboot screen is in chinese. HOWEVER, I think I was able to do a reset. I don't want to muck around too much with this thing, since I can still return it. But if I can flash TWRP and put a new ROM on it easily, I'm game.
I just purchased a used Lenovo Tab E10 from a pawn shop that they had factory reset.
It powers up ok but as I put in my google account info it needs the previous account info that was used before it was reset.
No matter what I do it continues to ask for previous google info to sync from google and won't let me proceed any further.
Is there a way to bypass this and register it as my own or do I need to return it and get my money back?
Thanks GB
It's a security feature in newer Android releases. To do it right you need to log out the existing user before resetting, but either they didn't know that or more likely didn't have the previous owner's credentials. Maybe Lenovo can help if you have proof of purchase, or else a complete reflash might work, but I'm not sure there.

You ever find a solution? I came across the same problem with it after I bought it from a lady, got it cheap cause of that too. Anyways, I found a way if you don't mind spending a few to go through the steps. I don't want to help if it's stolen though...
Long story short, I bought a used phone and used a fake/throwaway gmail account to access play store to download an app to test everything was working. I then factory reset it not knowing it would then be locked until I logged back into that gmail account that I now don't know the username for!
I've tried a few of the youtube tutorials, but they either don't seem to work on this phone, or they require a special cable that I don't have.
I guess my only options left are to install a custom rom, but I am a complete newbie, I actually had to google what a custom rom was, but all the guides I find for doing this also don't work on a locked phone.
I feel like I keep going down different roads that all lead to dead ends
So does anyone know what would be the easiest way for a newbie such as myself to unlock my phone? And/or what guides could I use that would work for this phone?
In case it matters, I do have the original receipt (although not in my name) where the phone was purchased (from amazon), and the phone even has another 6 months left on warrenty. But I am guessing that would require posting the phone to LG and waiting weeks. Any better ways?
Did you set up a recovery email/phone number with the Google account?
