Hi guys, i hope you can help me out here.
a Friend of mine is a taxi driver and had a guest who forgot his money and paid with his Moto G 2015 8GB.
As a friend of good deals, my friend now wants his father to use this Smartphone since it offers enough for his needs.
I already set it up from the scratch, but google now wants me to login with the first account data from the previous owner, which im afraid-, we wont be able to obtain any more.
Id install Cyanogenmod without Gapps to ignore the Google Questioning, but i need to check the "Oem bootloader unlock" option, which i cant, cause i cant setup the smartphone any more.
I hope anyone of you can help me? The Phone it not stolen, so as far as it is possible, please help me!

Goto stock recovery and using vol.down+power key u will be in fast boot mode using vol down chose recovery mode and press power key to enter into stock recovery. If u see a dead android just press power key first and holding it press vol. Up then just scroll down to factory data reset and now every g account will remove. Now set it up
A factory reset will probably not help. Moto G implements the new Factory Reset Protection feature which Google did introduce with Android 5.1. This check for the password of the last Google account registered on the device will survive a factory reset.
To my knowledge there is a way to circumvent the Factory Reset Protection on some Samsung devices due to a faulty implementation by Samsung (this was in the news a few days ago).
But this will probably not help with the Moto G.
Just reflash the stock firmware and you will be good I hope
You can't do anything with stock firmware, you can't unlock bootloader. The new system protection is exactly for that purpose. If your reflash the firmware via fastboot, at first boot prompts you to login with any google account used before in the phone.
The only way to revert the locked status is login with google asociated account and wipe from the settings menu once the phone has been unlocked.
i tried the stock firmware reflash as well.
you so are telling me there is no way to get a working firmware on this phone without going actualy in the developer options and activate bootloader thingie?
i mean google did a good job on that part. Still sucks though, but thanks for the answer

Yes, you have no option. To unlock bootloader you need to turn on the oem unlock permission in settings and actually you can't enter in that setting.

When you reflash the stock firmware via fastboot it clear all data & cache. When boots with clean system it prompts again to activate the phone.
For one side is nice to see that this works... Too bad for you... I guess you already googled it right?

If they had a pin set you'll need that pin.
Did you try all zeros or 123456?
Sadly nothing else can be done without it.

Power of the phone. Now press power button and volume down simultaneously. It will boot to erecovery then select the first option.
You're missing a data_hw_XX.zip package for your region. Not a big deal. It happened to me when I didn't understand how to flash software to our phone and once when updating through FirmwareFinder. Give us more details regarding your phone (which region is it) and how this happened and we'll help you.

you have many options:
factory reset again (which may not solve tthe issue)
or
unlock bootloader> install twrp> install any 3rd party keyboards zip (search in the xda, you might get any)
or
try to connect your phone to pc and check if adb is working, if yes, follow the procedure:
1. download any 3rd party keyboard app and rename it as keyboard.apk and place it inside sdktools folder
2.open command window and type the following command
Code:
adb install keyboard.apk
now reboot your phone and try , you might have your keyboard
(ask me if you have any doubt regarding this procedure)
or
you can even do a complete firmware flash of update.app through dload method (easiestt of all the above methods, but you will lose all the data inside your internal storage)
I solved, i reinstalled b131 firmware and keyboard appears, i bypassed google verification and i make the updates, now it s working good, thx all.
Can you help me to unlock bootloader without appear me FRP Lock and the Enable OEM Unlock to appear grey again?

I'm hoping someone will advise me. My Honor 8 FRD-L04 is soft bricked. I did or tried to do a factory reset, had originally TWRP, the bootloader is in Relocked status, not unlocked like I want it, I did the dload process with the only thing that would load which was the Rollback from Huawei, now I can't input information on the setup screens because all I get is the stupid Google Voice. PLEASE HELP ME.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.
Hello ppl,
I unlocked the bootloader and I can flash any custom ROM without problem...But when I'm installing the official MIUI comes back the lock screen ( this device is assosiated with mi account).
So, everytime I have to connect to WiFi and enter my password to unlock it!
Why is that? How can i free my device from this cloud lock? Is it enough to remove my device from the assosiated devices list from my cloud? ( I think no, cause my device has the lock already and waits...)
Do I have to use mi account unlock tool?
I don't need cloud xiaomi cloud at all .
I used it only to unlock my bootloader.
Thanks...

I'm not certain what is happening there. Have you got TWRP custom recovery installed? I have had a multitude of issues with MIUI activation and accounts. As I created a MIUI account from the phone and it was a different account number to when I sign in via the website, so they didn't match up when I went to sign into Mi Unlock. It said I had to wait 6 months to use the mobile number with a different account. So had to get another SIM just to unlock the phone.
Unless the phone hasn't been fully wiped. You might need a factory reset or format data.
Thanks... Phone works perfect on crdroid.. I have offcourse the Chinese twrp..
I can flash every ROM without problem...
Only when I'm installing Miui I have the lock screen asking for activation and password..
I know my pass and I can go on...
But I want to disable it..
I don't want cloud lock on my device..
I'm also curious how it stays cloud locked after factory reset/ wiping everything... Lock stays probably in another partition....
It's normal behaviour, I get the same prompt when I install MIUI.
yes is normal.. But very irritating.... If i dont have wifi i cannot unlock my phone!!!!
So no way to de-associate my device ?
Last time for me that I'm buying xiaomi....
Good hardware , but they want to control and spy..
Not nice..
Next time One plus...

To disable it install official miui, sign into your mi account, then go to settings and sign out, and reset the phone. It will not ask for an account afterwards

It's nothing to do with spying, you didn't remove your account properly
HHello, I wanted to consult something before getting into a problem. I have the moto g100 with the challenge channel, since the Android 12 ota did not come out for this channel, I decided to install the Android 12 retail ota, Everything worked correctly, but now I want to install my original firmware which is RETAR and block the bootloader, so my question is the following, can I flash my original firmware and lock the bootloader?.
Yes if you flash ORGINAL ROM (Android Version) for your device you can LOCK bootloader for your device.
Lock the bootloader at your own risk, this forum has a thread full of people who have bricked their device after relocking.
Phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back...
I wanted to help someone whose phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back, phone hangs on a red warning. And in the process of experimenting myself got confused and got into the same situation. Unlocking the bootloader...
forum.xda-developers.com
The stock roms found on lolinet won't boot after relocking and you'll loose the ability to flash anything else. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Also, you can't downgrade the bootloader. What this means is that if you flash older Android 11 stock image it may result in bootloop.
I have a G8 doha that was hard bricked a few years ago.. It did not show up in device manger at all, no matter how i tried. Not even the Qualcomm mode. This did happen after locking bootloader or change slot A/B. (Don't remember, sorry). The phone was totally dead, so it was just "archieved for later use".. Then one month ago i found a description on how to wake it up to qualcomm mode by shorting two points on pcb. I tried, and it did work. Phone showed up in device manager, and i flashed blankflash. After that i flashed stock rom. Phone is now working again. I had to do several tries to get it up running. The description on how to do it was not accurate, but i found a sequence to start it. Unfortunately i don't remember exactly. It is something with pushing/holding a button when connecting USB or shorting points on pcb.. Youtube link show how to do it..

Yes I relock my bootloader on the Moto g100 the North American version. Right after I did it I tried to set up my phone and it wanted my last four digit Google pin code and if you didn't do it fast enough it kept rebooting so for a half hour I tried everything under the sun Google kept asking me I want to try another way. But I have two step verification on my Google account so it couldn't send me the code over my telephone number so after a couple tries using the recover my account option underneath which asked you like personal information like your name and everything it finally gave me three options of three different Google emails I have. I got my unlock code and unlock the bootloader without using a PC or a computer. I used bugjaeger. The premium app is well worth the $10 it works super easy and super efficient

I have a moto g stylus XT2211DL and my friend somehow got it locked on the second setup screen. Cannot sign in to wifi or anything, it's not even FRP locked. I am able to bypass the screen using MTP and then maps to get to settings, but some settings are still locked like developer options, and you can't install apps. My question is, does anybody know which system app the device lock would be in so I can either disable or force quit so I can finish the setup and unlock all the features again?
here is the screen
How about factory reset it through stock recovery and try again?

You have to set up the device using enterprise enrolment and that would bypass the locked screen limitation. I have the same phone and I experienced the same issue. That's the only way I got around it.
On the welcome screen, I guess where you select Language, tap on any empty space 6 times and your setup will be switched to enterprise enrollment or some type of enterprise management setup...
I just searched on google images for sample Android MDM QR Codes (images), then I scanned one with the phone and followed through with the setup.
That's how I got mine fully setup...
Of course, I intend to find a way to bootloader unlock it, unofficially, and flash out Tracfone firmware so I'm not worried... Just haven't been able to bootloader unlock unofficially yet... I'm still on here searching for a way.
