I've seen many people asking about the Allview A5 Easy and how to hard reset it without needing to go through the "This account was reset. To continue please log in with the account that was synced with the Phone". While browsing the internet i've found this video which helped me alot regarding the phone, but it's not the same as he does there.
So he does that on an Alcatel One Touch that has the keyboard built in with Google Search. On the Allview A5 Easy, when you get to the Gmail part you simply need to do this :
1. On the left bottom corner near the button that switches from letters to numbers you have the @ sign. Hold it down and you'll get the keyboard settings. Acces one of those settings.
2. While in the keyboard settings menu, hold the left digital button ( the one near the HOME Button ) till you get the opend windows manager.
3. From there you will see the keyboard settings tab and above it you'll see the Google Search bar. Click on it and type in Settings and it will pop up the settings app. Click it and then you will have full access to the phone settings and you can factory reset it without having the gmail trouble.
I can't post the link in here since i'm the "new kid on the playground"

Hi all,
Just did the OTA update for 4.1.1 and I'm eager to try Google now, but I cannot seem to get to the main screen. What I mean is that if I swipe up from the softkeys and bring up google now (or by any other method), the main screen appears for a second, then jumps to the search screen. The option to opt-in and use Google Now does not appear at all and there is no response to pressing the menu button when I am on the google now main screen.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks!
For me the main screen is just the one when I press the "Search" soft key when I am at home screen, or the search bar at the top of the home screen.
You have to activate/opt-in by hitting Search Key>Menu button>settings. It's the first item to select in the settings.
Thanks for the feedback.
I took some screenshots to clarify my issue:
When I get to the google now home screen by either hitting the search key or the top search bar, it looks like this: db.tt/9jaob1Rv (sorry I cant directly post pictures yet, add the http in front)
At that page, the menu button does nothing until the screen changes to look like this: db.tt/TKsdxrBM (again, put the httpin front)
When I click the setting screen, I get these options with no mention of Google Now: db.tt/Mf4jqMvM (again, put the http in front)
Any ideas?
Thanks
That's odd. Could it be because you're in Canada? It might be a regional thing. I wish I knew how to help, but that's the only thing I can think of. I don't see why you wouldn't get GN though since it's available in a ton of languages.
Are you using a gmail.com account as your main account?

You sir are a genius! I usually use my university address because it uses the gmail engine but when I added a gmail account, it gave me the option to use google now.
Thanks to everyone that helped!
First, please forgive me if there's a sub thread for this phone. I didn't find it, and the help saying use the device forum went back to the menu where I already didn't find it. ?
My issue is that my HTC 10 suddenly decided that every press of the overview button will now activate split screen, not just long press. I remember when I first turned this function on there was an option did I want it to activate split screen on normal press or long press, but now I've spent two days on Google and cannot find this option! I can't seem to turn the function on or off as the help pages refer to menus I do not have. (Device and Multi window - they aren't there!!) and other help only tells me that long press should be working. I've had no updates since it was last working normally.
Please, anyone know where this option is hidden?

Go to your application manager and find the app(s) that control split screen and clear data and wipe cache.

Any ideas what I'm looking for? I had a scroll through and nothing jumped out at me to be the service the controls this feature. Then again, they have names that aren't particularly intuitive.
Update - Looks like I found it, thanks. I cleared out system UI and it's normal again. Still odd that the option vanished, it was definitely an easy menu.
[FRP] ZTE Majesty Pro Z798BL FRP Bypass
(Sorry for the poor write up, it's basically notes from when I did this model quickly. If I get free time I will clean these steps up some so they are more clear and also get ahold of the handset and post additional methods/steps.)
There are multiple ways to do this bypass - here are just a few i came across freestyling. I'll document the others when i get time to lock up one of these phones again (it's a clients so dont have long with it)
1. talkback settings - This was already enabled for me and the chick that did it said she pressed home 3 times quick like on a iPhone. Not sure if that worked or not (i think shes mistaken). I didn't have time to go back and check. The manual and other info out there says to place two fingers on the screen and wait xx amount of seconds. Then talkback would be enabled. Well I have had this handset a handful of times since before this tutorial and i could NEVER get it into Accessibility.. Talkback enabled .. anything. So if someone knows the first step for sure then please post and i'll edit step.
2. help / about. search voice, click on subscribe out pops u to youtube
hit share and a: goto bluetooth and select device / pair mouthpiece or b: goto gmail and enter a email address hotmail or yahoo
3a: turn device off then back on and click till it beeps, say ok google next - enter search string settings hit enter.. goto the 3 lines on the left for settings, click settings and enable in apps boxes, also you could enable the bluetooth settings too but the most importabt thing here is the cards settings. enable these, next search for stock android and launch it. open settings and enable unknown sources, next open google chrome from the apps, search for sidebar apk, install next add these apps (i add all of them incase i need to get back somewhere.. not all are needed though) I add chrome, google, file manager, settings and stock android. next go back to settings then to apps and disable setup wizard and google account manager
3b: goto 3 dots - ? i forget this one so ignore until i remember. lol
3c: goto dialer
4. download dpc test manager 4.0.5 ? run this select device manager hit next then open, lastly goto developer settings oem unlock and usb debugging. goto backup/reset and reset phone. done
3d: (haven't finished) you need to put the phone into "Engineering Mode" first, by dialling *ZTE*OPENEM# (*983*673636#) -- this action will be confirmed by a quick pop-up. To close this mode, dial *ZTE*CLOSEEM# (*983*2567336#) -- this then prompts whether you want to do a Factory Reset, which you do not have to do (you can simply Back away from this screen).
(dont close mode)
go back to dialer and type *983*87274# USBSI USB Switch Test
enable mdm(modem)
-goto cmd, type adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1 (don't remember the outcome)
reboot?
3e: Open uni android tools (if you've got it) and navigate to > UNTESTED

It was very simple for me. For my Z798BL majesty pro i just held down two fingers on open screen till AccessibilityMode came on then swiped my finger from top left down to bottom right(an L shape) across the screen. That opened a menu so I tapped on TalkBack Options (to disable the TalkBack after the TalkBackOptions opened I held down the volume up and volume down Keys till it was disabled) then I scroll down to Help&Feedback clicked on Switch Access Mode question then scroll down to & tapped on the blue words "Turning on Bluetooth" then scroll all the way down to the bottom of that screen to "WasThisArticleHelpful" Yes or No? Tapped on NO, then I typed in anything in the box highlighted it and click on Assist that took me to the Google app then I typed in Chrome because it wouldn't let me download anything from the Google app so I went to the Chrome app then typed in "Test DPC 5.0.4 apk" then I downloaded the Test DCP APK then follow the instructions to install it including update phone's permissions to install unknown source. Clicked on setup new Divice Owner and followed those options til I was done(think just one or two more screens to click on "yes or continue" wasn't hard to figure out from there) when I was done with all that I tapped Back to the Google app typed in Settings clicked on phone settings scroll down to Backup&Reset clicked on reset device then erase everything then turned off my phone and restarted it. And that was it!

Awesome! Glad to hear it worked out for you. =]
[FRP] LG Aristo FRP Bypass - MetroPCS MS210
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple. I suck at videos but maybe I will get around to making some eventually one day.
Steps
1. HARD RESET your phone. Make sure you do this before starting the next step.
2. Connect to wifi and go back to the start and get into accessibility mode. Enable Global Context Menu by making an L shape on the screen. Goto TalkBack Settings. Once you are in press both volume keys to suspend Talkback. Scroll down to the bottom and select Help and Feedback. Click on where it says About Switch Access for Android (if this is framed in a window then hard reset and restart again). This should take you to the Help section with About Switch Access for Android at the top with a youtube video at the bottom.
3. Click the youtube video and click the share button (arrow at the top right). This should show you a box with the link highlighted. Double tap this to open up YouTube. Once youtube is opened click the share button at the top right once again and this time you will be presented with where to share to. Click on Gmail. At this point pause and create a hotmail account on another device or use one of your own if you have it handy. Yahoo did not work for me so I stuck with hotmail. Forward on into gmail and select hotmail, fill out the information, and forward on until it says Take Me To Gmail at the bottom. Click this and then click the top right 3 dots and goto settings. Click the top 3 dots again then click manage accounts. You should be in settings now.
4. Scroll down to Fingerprints and Security and click this. Goto Phone Administration and disable Android Device Manager. Next goto Apps section of Settings. Click top right 3 dots and select show all apps. Scroll down to Setup Wizard, you should see 2. Disable/Force stop and clear cache/data on both. Now scroll up to Google Account Manager and repeat previous process then onto Google Play Service doing the same. Restart your phone.
5. Suspend TalkBack by pressing both up/down volume buttons and go forward in settings until you get to wifi. Disable wifi. Follow through until you get to the EULA. Scroll down in this box until you see the Heading OptOut. This next part can be a little tricky. Tap on where it says [email protected]. A box should pop up at the bottom if it doesn't double click or click and hold. I had to double tap the area and hold before it would appear. In this box click Gmail and when prompted enable Google Play Services. After this you should arrive back where you were at OptOut section of the EULA. Tap the email again and it will take you into Gmail. Click the top right 3 dots as you did before, repeat earlier process again, and get into Settings. Go back to Fingerprints and Security and enable Unknown Sources. Next turn on wifi.
6. Go back on settings then goto Apps. Scroll down to YouTube and click it. Click Notifications then click the top right icon ( i ). Next click About then click on Google Privacy Policy and forward into the browser. Now you are going to download some apps and install them. Download these 3 apps and install/open each during the process. The apps are Sidebar / Quick Shortcut Maker / Shortcut Master Lite. Open up Sidebar by using two fingers and swiping over from the left side of the screen. Once it slides into view add all 3 apps except for sidebar to it and also add Settings. If you want to pause here and pick up later thats fine as sidebar will be able to be used even if the phone is rebooted.
7. Now click on settings and goto Apps, tap 3 dots, select show system apps and now you are going to Disable/Force Stop and clear cache/data of all these apps. Google App / Google Backup Transport / Google Calender Sync / Google Contacts Sync / Google Drive Promotion / Google One Time Init / Google Partner Setup / Google Play Services / Google Play Store / Google Services Framework / Google Text-To-Speech Engine / Setup Wizard (both).
8. Now pull into view the Sidebar and click on Shortcut Master Lite. Click on the top right 3 dots and click search. Type Setup Wizard into the bottom search field and click search. Now click on the first Setup Wizard link that shows. com.android.LGSetupWizard.SetupHomeInit and click launch.
9. You should be back at the setup screen. Forward through until you get to wifi and shut it off.
10. Now comes the last but fun part. We are going to crash the Setup Wizard. Go back to the start screen of the setup wizard and repeadtly go forward and back until the app crashes and do this until you see the home screen (remind you of iphone glitches? ha) it WILL work just have to do it many times. Once you get to the home screen, go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.
EDIT:
Here are easier more precise instructions for this last step:
Press [ARROW ICON]
Next [SKIP]
Then [NEXT]
Press [SKIP ANYWAY]
Then tap 3-4 times quickly on [BACK KEY] where you should end up on "Welcome Screen"
Repeat the above steps another time or 2 if it has not worked yet. It will! Sometimes it takes a try or two!
Alternative to Step 10. Click on quickshortcut maker from your sidebar and scroll down until you see Home and click it. You should now be past the setup wizard and onto your Home Screen. Not done just yet. Click on Shortcutmaster Lite and it will bring you to your Home Screen. Now you are officially past everything. (This might not work for the Aristo but I figured I would mention it in case it just didn't work for me for w/e reason). Go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - StraightTalk LGL84VL
Android Ver 7.0
Security Patch: November 6, 2017
Worlds First Stylo 3 StraightTalk bypass! 09/26/18
I've bypassed yet another Stylo 3 and this time it is the StraightTalk model.
This is different than my other bypasses and it seems I am the first to do it. There is no download mode for this model and no fastboot so that eliminates a lot of easier ways. Only leaves doing it manually. My instructions are different than the other Stylo 3 tutorial threads I have made here on XDA. I have also done a video which will be linked below. It is on my new YouTube channel which will have videos for any new FRP I do, my old FRP's (when i get ahold of the handsets again), and of course anything Android related.
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple.
**YOU WILL NEED A BLUETOOTH HEADSET FOR THIS METHOD!**
I will be posting the tutorial and video for the NON BlueTooth method very soon.
Video - (Working on as I post this.. will be posted here soon..)
Steps
1. HARD RESET your phone. Make sure you do this before starting the next step.
2. Connect to wifi and go back to the start and get into accessibility mode / TalkBack by pressing 2 fingers on the screen and holding till it beeps. Enable Global Context Menu by making an L shape on the screen. Goto TalkBack Settings. Once you are in press both volume keys to suspend Talkback. Scroll down to the bottom and select Help and Feedback. Press on where it says About Switch Access for Android (if this is framed in a window then hard reset and restart again). This should take you to the Help section with About Switch Access for Android at the top with a youtube video at the bottom.
3. Press the youtube video and Press the share button (arrow at the top right). This should show you a box with the link highlighted. Double tap this to open up YouTube. If a screen shows asking you to update YouTube Press "not now". Once youtube is opened Press the share button at the top right once again and this time you will be presented with where to share to. Press on Gmail. At this point pause and create a hotmail account on another device or use one of your own if you have it handy. Forward on into gmail and select hotmail, fill out the information, and forward on until it says Take Me To Gmail at the bottom. Press this and then Press the top right 3 dots and goto settings. Press the top 3 dots again then Press manage accounts. You should be in settings now.
4. Scroll down to BlueTooth and enable. Next pair your bluetooth device. Now scroll down to Fingerprints and Security, press this and next goto Phone Administrators then disable Find My Device. Reboot. Once booted press your bluetooth headset button and say "open settings" (if you are only presented with a box this first time type in "settings" and Press on the settings icon that appears. Goto settings and back to Fingerprints and Security and enable Unknown Sources. Now to download some files. Back out of settings and press your bluetooth and say "open chrome".
5. Type in this url http://re-uploading-files and download the files needed for this bypass. Download all but the zip file unless you want to have a zipped copy to save to your phone/pc. Now when you goto this link it will have one popup, close that and go back to the original page and click continue which you will be directed to another page with another popup. Do the same as before and continue on to where you will land on a page with a folder of the files you need to download. When downloading each it might pop up pop ups so just close those and go back to the page downloading each file except for that zip unless you want to have it as well. I am SORRY for this, working on putting them up elsewhere with no popups/ad's exclusively for XDA members. First one you need to install and open is SideBar Lite. Once it is done swype over from the left of the screen to check that it is working. Now install QuickShortCut Maker. Swype from the left of the screen to slide SideBar into view. Press the arrow and add File Manager + QuickShortCut Maker to the bar and these others that arent 100% needed but i always do just in case - Chrome, Settings, and Phone Dialer.
6. Now go back to settings using bluetooth, goto Apps, at the top right Press 3 dots and select show system. Now Disable/Force Stop then Clear Data and Cache of these apps - Google Account Manager / Google Play Services / Google Playstore / Setup Wizard (both).
7. Slide into view your SideBar. Navigate to your downloads folder through File Manager that I had you add earlier and open it. Now run FRP_Stylo3.apk and add a google account by going to Search & Now then Accounts & Privacy. Now it should crash after doing this. Simply press open again, then goto google account, Press on add account and then it should show the account. Just do the last part i mentioned so you can make sure it is there. Now use SideBar again and open File Manager then Run FRP_Bypass.apk (go ahead and run.. but might not be needed) then GAM_7.0.apk.
8. Now slide into view Side Bar and open QuickShortCut Maker. At the top select "Normal Search". Type into the search "home". Press the first one that shows up which is "Home". It should expand so now Press the one that says Home with this text wrote below it "com.lge.launcher3/com.lge.launcher3.LauncherExtension" and press "Try". Now Press on Google app box on the main page and Press gmail. It will ask you to enable Google Play Services. Do this.
9. Reboot phone
10. Now you are back at the Setup Wizard. Follow through it and disable WiFi when you get to that part. Continue setting up your phone. You have bypassed FRP now! Now simply goto your settings, then Backup and Reset and Factory Data Reset your phone.
