I have LG Flex 2 ATT. I slept with my phone by my side and when I woke up I saw the phone has white screen and it asks for 'backup pin' and 'Account unlock' codes. I don't know what triggered it but I am not able to use my phone and it doesn't accept any google account username and password. I don't remember setting any 'PIN' on my phone either. How do I get in?
Any help please?
The best thing if you dont mind to loose your internal data is flash the KDZ firmware on the device, if you dont know how to do it search in this forum!
If you dont want to try...the only way to solve it is send it to LG support service!

I did a hard reset but after reboot it still asks for the same Google account as before. Second, AFAIK flashing any other firmware will brick my device.

are you sure they ask for google account?! i mean, that only happens when someone have trying to acess the phone and fail the PIN code or something for 5 times and the device get locked and ask for that...but i dont know anything else to lock the phone and ask for the google account!
i see some users get the phone locked by mcafee and ask for a PIN for mcafee and not google! is really strange.

I did hard reset the same way. But google still asks me the account associated with the phone before the reset. This is how google thinks will prevent stolen devices.

This sounds like this isn't your phone. You can't remember the password or the google account associated with it? If you can't remember the google password, you can reset that.

Tbf it does sound a little fishy. I initially called bs too before looking at your post history and seeing you were active here before this thread. Personally I'd rather people err on the side of caution before giving advice on how to bypass a lock screen.

I have already mentioned before that I would produce the proof of purchase if anyone does have a solution. I even wrote the same to LG too. But LG said they can fix it only if the phone is mailed to them and have a return mailing address in USA only.
For others who are in the same situation as I was, I found a solution. Though, I had to pay for it. After trying everything found on forums for almost a month there was no other solution left. Finally got my phone working, have to admit LG has done one heck of a job securing this device.

Alright, here's the story. --
I bought this refurbished Transformer tf700t, and eventually got around to rooting it. The only issue I had with that was downgrading the build from 10.6.1.14.10 to 10.6.1.14.8.
Easy peasy, no problem.
Next, obviously to install a custom ROM, I needed to unlock the thing. It gave me a network error, which I found was because I didn't register with Asus. I go to do that, only to find that the serial number is unknown.
I've browsed for about 5 hours now, and I'm almost positive that it's impossible at this point to get the serial to register to unlock, or for that matter, unlock at all.
So this thread is more about 'Am I actually screwed' or is there another way around the network error/register issues?
ahh crap, I posted this to general instead of Troubleshooting.
My bad. :silly:

I got to the Asus support chat, and explained my situation.
He gave me the actual serial number based off the Mac address of my tablet, and thankfully, it worked with the device tracker. sort of.
It came up in the list as my device, yet it can't locate or communicate with it.
So now I'm just trying new things to see what will work.

I can't unlock mine either! I have had multiple talks with Asus to no avail, I am also unable to register on the device tracker website. Asus just keeps telling me to wait and try again later. Please help if you can.
If you have blocked the OTA files, froze them, or deleted them, it won't let you unlock, FYI. If you restore them, you can unlock if this is your problem.

If this is the case would I get that dammed network error from the unlock tool? I had to downgrade to 10.8, so maybe that messed things up. Is there a way to check and see if I've blocked them, or deleted them?

I have read and followed dozens of this stories and have never read that frozen or removed "OTA files" (????) have anything to do with it - and I seriously doubt it.
The most common reason for the unlock tool not to work is that your serial number or MAC address of the main board are not registered on their server in Taiwan. This happens most often after a RMA return, but sometimes out of the box.
You need to be persistent, keep pestering them that you insist on being able to use their device tracker service.
You could even tell them OTA updates are not working.
The regional help centers seem to loath having to contact HQ in Taiwan to get this fixed. And they are the only ones who can.

Bad News, I am afraid. I too have a refurbished Infinity with the same problems. After 3 weeks of emailing Asus support they finally told me they only allow new units to use their services (unlocking ,OTA's and device tracking). Something that they do not disclose when they are trying to sell it to you. Unless there is a change in policy at Asus we are screwed. If we had bought a secondhand unit we would be looked after better by Asus.

They are lying to you. Ask them to be put through to support in Taiwan (or find an email address) and they will add you to the database. Many people have done it now.

If you have a problem with a phone you bought, return it / contact seller

You could have purchased a locked phone. Take it to SKT dealership, tell tgem you purchased it seconds hand (used), and they will contact the original owner to make sure it wasnt stolen.

That's entirely possible however, don't you think if they wanted to get the workaround they'd have it by now? A simple PM and perhaps a cost, although that has not been verified as of yet, would be a simple thing for a Google employee if they wanted it.

I didn't doubt your integrity I was just asking if this is a protection from devices that are lost or stolen or even spouses and miscreants that want to break into a device. And the question was is this legal or not?
i think its legal ! lets suppose that someone forget his gmail account and he did a factory reset and he tried all the ways to recover it but no luck !! or someone buy a phone from a website and found it locked frp !!!

No, I've heard the stories about buying one that was locked. The only thing is you now have become the judge, the jury and the executioner. If you are comfortable with taking someone's word for it on a PM then so be it. I really have only heard about those that bought it off a site or privately and couldn't get the Gmail password that locked it. If it's actually your account there are always ways of getting the password or resetting it. They will ask you questions that only you would know, ask for your last known password or some other things only the account holder would have.
Just curious, are you charging and if so, how much. Don't tell me if you don't want, it doesn't matter to me that much. I'd also like to know if Google can challenge someone doing this as illegal and bypassing licensing restrictions. I don't know but you might want to protect yourself just in case.
And.. what if someone is harmed by your breaking FRP? Would you be held liable for damages? Just some thoughts for you to ponder.
