Dear All,
I am new to android phone. I have SFR(ZTE) Staraddict. It is unlocked and I want to remove google account already entered in it as it is not mine. I search the internet and only find that the factory reset can only do that. Since it is unlocked I am not sure whether I can factory reset it as it will result in locking the phone (As far as I know). If there is another option or something I can do. Kindly help
Thank You

Thank you. But how can I carrear unlock it again. I don't have any device to unlock staraddict. Can any software be used for unlocking it or I need hardware of some sort.
Regards.
If it is carrier unlocked it will still be that way after a factory reset.

Hi, I have a problem because recently I changed my password and I do not remember at what I'm talking about the pattern to unlock the phone. On google account can not log in I do not know why despite the fact that given the correct information because I checked on another phone. It could be someone help me or tell me how to do a reset. The phone is not rotated, is of the original soft from a plus. Thanks in advance

Here refer to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955
You need to flash an FTF. An FTF is a firmware file, so you can select which ever one that suits your needs from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
It will revert everything back to how you had it, but you'll lose your apps.
Hi, i'm new in the forum and i want to ask for advice.

I lock bootloader on Verizon Google Pixel when my device have TWRP and i have brick! Device Loading up to logo Google on 1 sec and reboot. Fastboot work, but i don't unlock bootloader. In recovery is don't enter. Please help me!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/how-to/psa-read-relocking-bootloader-t3494614 ....very important advice. With my limited knowledge NEVER relock unless you have signed OEM images correctly reloaded into device before locking.

Put the phone in fastboot mode, then run `fastboot flashing unlock` from a PC. If it says unlocking not allowed, you're out of luck, it's a brick now. Never lock your phone without being 100% stock on both slots

No idea. I've never relocked unless I am completely stock and take at least one ota first to make sure, along with full factory resets before and after updating.
There are others here that claim they where able to unlock again and save their phones though so maybe it's possible.

Thank you

No, flashing stock firmware won't re-lock your bootloader currently, but since Huawei stopped providing the unlock codes there is a chance that they could include a relocking mechanism in future updates.
Alright, thank you very much for reply.
Well, they should add relock mechanicsm if they go for secure devices.
Yep I'm in the same boat. Wanted to return the phone, just not happy with it, but looks like I'm stuck with it unless someone on swappa wants it.
We should spam Huawei Supports center with this problem.
haha I saved mine to Google Photos, IMGUR and photobucket.. lmao
New to all of this. I used to jailbreak, unlock iPhones but am unfamiliar with this side of things. I was able to remove the passcode and Google account off the Pixel 6a which was on A13 and updated to the most recent patch (Let me know if you need instructions as that was not easy for me to find). But now I found that it is locked to AT&T which I do not have. Is it possible?
You may have bought a locked model by accident

I'd be interested to learn how you did this. I'm assuming a factory reset via recovery isn't enough?
If you have bought a carrier locked device, you may need to contact them to see if it can be unlocked

Not sure what's allowed on the forum so dm me and I'll send you the link I used. Factory reset is not enough.

Zounds very fishy in that case. Buying new is always safer. I got mine from bestbuy
I bought it for 4 days. And is not installed.
