Hello amigos
I am a Spanish guy and I have an AT&T lg g4 bought on ebay on the last black friday. This cell phone, after using it a couple of weeks, I gave it to my nephew. I think the mistake I made was not resetting the phone to factory values, I simply unlinked my google account and then my nephew put his. After a while he reestablished the phone to factory values and when he tried to log in he got the following message: "This device has been reset. To continue, sign in with a Google account that has previously been synchronized with this device" ( Approximate translation from Spanish).
Well, we have tested with your account, mine, create new account and it does not work. Once you have entered the username and password and verify that it is correct, the same message reappears. I have formatted the phone twice with the post I found in this forum TOT method, but the problem continues. I have contacted the technical service of LG Spain but they tell me that the phone imei belongs to AT&T of the United States and they can not do anything, that I can only contact the (China) ebay store where I bought it. I contacted this store but they did not respond. We do not know what to do, because we are also in a difficult economic situation and we can not find another phone.
I would like you to tell me if you know any method to log in, to repair the mobile or anything that could help us, we would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I tried to write in English as best I could;

Hi!
So I have a Galaxy S6 which came with a Dutch T-mobile package. On my way to China, where I moved a few weeks ago for an indefinite period, I cracked the screen and brought it to the local repairman to fix. That went perfectly well, but the phone didn't recognize my fingerprint anymore and I forgot my backup password. That's why I performed a factory reset, and that's where the real trouble began.
After the reset, I tried setting up the phone again, and got to the Samsung reactivation screen. I entered my account info, and provided the password for the wifi, after which the phone connected to wifi (with the corresponding message), but after a few seconds I get a pop up message saying "Unable to connect to the Internet" - even though the wifi symbol would still flash its arrows in the upper right corner. Thus, I can't get past this screen nor in my phone, which is quite a devastating fact as a poor new expat in China . Tried several other wifi networks, to no avail.
My guess is that it's the Great Firewall of China acting here, somehow preventing the phone to connect to the Samsung (and/or Google) network to check my info. I don't know if this is correct, the Samsung helpdesk couldn't say for sure as well, but I really really want to find a workaround here. Once I get the phone working again I can install a VPN to have the Google stuff working in China, but this way I can't get to that point. Now I am completely new to rooting/ installing ROMS and the works, but I am willing to try anything to get this expensive piece of electronics to work out here.
Any helping comment is an absolute lifesaver, and I will name my firstborn child after you!!
Thanks so much!
All the best, Maarten

I bought an alcatel idol 3 from somebody on eBay it is one of those phones sponsored by "cricket" company now to make a long story short when I tried to signin my Google at the setup it says ""sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device" now I know that personally means I would need the google username and the password of the person who had the phone before I got it and I know nobody wants to give up that type of information cause I know I would not want to give out that type of information if somebody asked me which is why I have not ask the seller but my question is do any of you know a way I can bypass the Google verification on the idol 3 sponsored by the cricket company so that I would be able to use the phone
I don't know if it will work on the Cricket but I had a Asus Zenfone2 that I factory reset from recovery mode and it was asking me the same thing when I rebooted the phone. I was able to go back one or two screens, pull down the quick settings menu from the top of the screen, and selected reset which solved the problem. Not sure if you can try the same thing.
Have you solved this?

hi i recently purchased this j3 from a friend and it worked fine all i had to do was have it unlocked to work with my carrier this is where everything went haywire . after several attempts i finally received the unlock code and then when i put my sim card in it said too many attempts and needed a puk number i called my carrier and got it and entered it and didnt work i thought maybe hard reseting the phone would reset the amount of times ur allowed to enter this number i was wrong. so after some frustration i hard reset the phone a few times and tried every option that can be done in that menu now my phone wont even connect to wifi at the beginning of set up because it needs to verify my identity thru google account which that info i dont have this has become a horrible cycle for me and would apreciate any help or advice with this issue if u could email me this might be better my email is [email protected]
Hi everyone,
First of all, sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
My brother gave me his Samsung Galaxys A50 stating that he couldn't remember his lock screen password and wanted me to fix it. Maybe that's where I ****ed up, but I went straight into recovery mode and wiped to factory reset. Note: there was no USB Debugging or OEM Unlock options active. The phone booted back up and, as usual, I had to enter my Google credentials so that it can verify my identity and let me continue with the setup process. It prompted me to 2FA and I first inserted the code I received on the phone number associated to the Goggle account. Then, it send another code on my brother secondary address mail linked to the first's one. But the email never arrived. It didn't matter how many times I tried refreshing the page or searching into every Gmail folder, the email was nowhere to been seen. And as if it wasn't enough, the primary mail address was locked because of too many tries. I tried everything, using ADB from the recovery is obviously working only for adb sideload and not for adb shell. Neither does fastboot work, as it can't even recognize the phone in Download mode because it is still locked. I even tried flashing directly TWRP with Odin but it still wouldn't work, again because of the bootloader being locked. Odin gets stuck on the NAND write part. I searched for a way to unlock the bootloader/root/enable USB debugging from adb but can't seem to find anything. I found 2 ways to bypass Google FRP but it needs adb shell or the Google keyboard. But Samsung phones have their OEM keyboard and can't, apparently, change it to Google.
Tried to get assistance from Google but, at least in my country, you need to pay to have it.
I think my only option, if doable, is to try to find a way to flash a stock rom and pray that it won't lock the phone with FRP.
Does anyone of you know of any solutions or advice I could use?
Have I to admit defeat and pay Google, hoping that the assistance is good enough to resolve the issue?
Should I just throw it into the bin and forget about it?
Thanks to everyone who helps.
Google it.
Almost everyday we get a new member asking this. While some of the inquiries might be legitimate others are not. My dead dad, brother, aunt's phone, whatever. It's a poor start entering the forum like this, in my opinion.
All the last owner needed to do was to delete their Google account from the phone and none of this would happen. Consequences.

As I said in the post, I know all the credentials used to log in the phone, I have the phone number which was linked to the Google account and the secondary mail address linked to the primary one. So, this should be enough to prove that my inquiry is legitimate.
Also, "Google it" makes me think you haven't really read what I wrote. As I said, there seems to be not a single answer.
Third and last point, how tf was I supposed to remove the Google account if the phone was locked by the forgotten pin?
Yes, this type of inquiry is surely blasonated, but insinuating that I stoled the phone without even reading the rest of what I wrote surely isn't going to help anyone, don't you think?
Having said so, if you don't have no way to help just shush.
As @blackhawk recommended it: GOOGLE FOR A SUITABLE FRP-UNLOCK TOOL. It exists for Samsung devices, too.
Hi,
A few day's ago I purchased this phone that's virtually like new condition, I bought it from a reputable store on ebay that offers a free 30 day return policy along with a one year warranty. Currently I'm having an issue that I've never faced before, I'm unable to make or receive phone calls, but I'm able to send & receive text messages. So far I've tried the following to try & correct my issue: performed a network reset, performed a factory reset, & at least one additional procedure that due to my age I can't seem to remember @ this moment. My mobile data provider (red pocket mobile) quite frankly is totally confused as to why this issue is happening. I'm hoping that someone in here might be able to provide a solution to my issue. When I attempt to place a phone call, the number never actually gets dialed, & after at the most two seconds I'm taken to a different screen where I receive a notice that states 'call ended'.
Thanks,
David
Did you try updating the apn settings?
Hi,
Thanks so much for your reply, that's one of the first things that I've tried along with performing at least a couple factory resets. Just for your reference, I'm including a link to the phone that I purchased: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203677739011?var=504106127606 In the description of the phone it lists the model # as this: LMG900TM but in the phone settings area under the 'about phone' heading it lists the model # as LMG900UM which does appear on the at&t 'whitelist' of approved unlocked phones that will still work on their network after the current 3g shutdown is finally completed. Stay Safe
