Hi! My first post.
Is it possible to tweak your phone so Google recognizes your device as totally new? How can I sweep all data from my phone so Google won't recognize it after "cleaning it"?
Is it possible to change Device ID, GUID, Phone Model, Google Advertising ID etc in one "click" or with one tool/app? I know that I need to root my phone...but please recommend me tools/apps I need.
There is Bluestacks Tweaker which does things I named above...
Why I need this:
I was able to make 5 Google accounts WITHOUT PHONE VERIFICATION from each Android phone I have at home (4 phones to be exact) and after making 5 Google accounts without phone verification Google started to ask for phone verification (same for all phones). After that, I did reset to factory settings, but Google still asks for phone verification (obviously Google know my phones).
I know it's not IP issue.
So guys, please let me know your ideas - what I need to do to "hide" myself from Google (if it's even possible)? What data do I need to remove/replace/tweak to make my phone brand new for Google?
All the best!

Hi
Before I have Samsung s5 smartphone, I fight with my friend, He was loaded trojan in my mobile phone when i talk with him he knows everything than I suspected him I was thinking he loaded Trojan than I downloaded network monitoring app I saw connections from Google dns 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 ip number. I got Trojan in my mobile phone,
After I did factory reset/formatted smartphone (I don't remember I erased sd-card or not) Before I wasn't know that factory reset not able to erase everything I supposed Trojan was deleted by factory reset. After he is still know everything.
Final decision; I bought new Samsung S3 tablet, I used this tablet approximately 4 months ,When I turn back to my country, he is still know my location, he is still know browser history, and all of them. I am becomes crazy I did factory reset my S3 tablet, and I created new Google account, I switched off my location, I checked Google account history everyday;but I couldn't see any suspicious situation ,I changed all account password, After i read some text they are explaining about this issue they are saving to us "factory reset not able to erased everything"
"You have to load new rom" and then I downloaded New Rom, I loaded new Rom in my mobile phone I replaced everything , I created new google account i didn't use old one I went Vodafone and I changed my SIM card with new one but Phone number is same He is professional hacker and Android developer.
I Bought new phone, I bought new sim card (same phone number),I loaded new Rom, I changed Google account,I removed sd card I didn't put back, I checked my device with antivirus app several times. I closed device manager (find my mobile), I did data limit for all applications. Shortly, I did everything;but He has accessed again
I didn't connect to my home wi-fi, He was hacked my computer before.
I am using only 4.5 G now I checked two-There times my Ip number,
When I disconnected from internet, my ip number was changing;but only last 6 numbers changing.
I think he can find again my ip address, because my device is very rare He can find easly my device and he can attack again. Also I supposed he found me again today. I opened developer options And I put limit for background apps work I put no any operations background , but when I put this one, it is changing itself it's turning back standard limit. I think he access again
Now, I need your help !!! How can I save with him, How is he find me easly, and how can I know he is access or not I don't have any idea My knowledge very pour especially Android Please help me I don't want to buy again one more phone Google saying Android is the best secure os but Now I am not sure about security
Hey all,
I purchased a Nokia 3 from Facebook Marketplace and it has been factory reset of course, but Google says "This device has been reset. Please sign in to a Google account previously used". I cannot get past this.
I've downloaded several programs onto my PC but none have worked. I have tried following online tutorials which say to go via the Vision Settings, Help and Support, Get Started with Voice and playing a YouTube video but that video does not show up for me. I also tried the changing language trick then changing keyboards but that doesn't work (Missing the change keyboard option).
As far as I know it is running Android 5.1.1.
Any help would be great. Thank you
Your first step would be to contact the seller. If it was their phone, then you would need them to sign into the device itself. If they change their password and give it to you, it can't be used to unlock an FRP-locked device for 72 hours after the change.. If they don't know what account it would have been locked to, that should be a big red flag to you about the legitimacy of previous ownership. The discussion of how to bypass FRP is very much on the borderline of the gray area of what's allowable, due to why it's in place in the first place.
Thread is being watched, so it doesn't start snowballing into back-and-forths about FRP legality and blah blah. FRP is a security mechanism to deter phone thefts, as the stolen phone would be rendered useless.
Friend got into a fight with his brother. His brother was able to break into his phone.
Friend changed the password on the device last week, and because of his school, he doesn't take the phone with him.
He opened the phone today, and can't remember the password.
It is a Moto G7 Power, running Android 9
It has GenTech installed on the phone.
I do not know any specifics beyond that, as the settings are hidden behind a lock screen.
When I logged into the Google account, it looks like the account hasn't been backing up photos, contacts, etc since the GenTech was put on. iDrive also hasn't been backing anything up.
Are there any tools that can remove the lock screen? Preferably free, but I wouldn't mind paying a small amount. And NOT wipe the device.
Before coming here, I saw Eelphone, but it looked super shady.
Searching through XDA's forums, I saw Dr.Fone as an application as well.
Are these the best options? I mean, I troubleshoot devices for clients all the time, and thankfully haven't had to recover their devices like this, and I know that it has changed a lot since the beginnings of Android, but I need something in the toolbox for sure.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Edit: I thought I might try Dr.Fone on my Motorola device. Uh, not the right application that I need! I want the data preserved, not wiped. If I wanted the phone wiped, I'd have done it from the bootloader.
(Or do they make a copy of the device, wipe the phone, and reload everything minus the lock screen?)
(Or is Dr.Fone a malicious program masquerading as legitimate?)

Is the device rooted?
Does the device have USB debugging enabled in system settings?
If the answers to these questions are no, then all you can do is factory reset. After resetting, it will probably be FRP locked(Factory Reset Protection), which means you still need to remember the google account username and password to get logged into the device, but, the lockscreen pin/password will be removed. You'll lose the user's data in the process. At this point, if it isn't rooted or does not have USB debugging enabled, there aren't really any options to save their user data before resetting the device.

The phone is not rooted, unless the GenTech software gained the root access. (I am too new to post a direct link, but it is a monitoring program - I don't know how common it is outside of my community)
If I recall correctly, I did get access to developer options, but that was back in July - I'm not sure if I have developer options enabled at this time.
The paid softwares can't crack it? That really is too bad.
Hello everyone!
I have simple, but difficult at same time question:
Is there any possibility to install any process thats working total independlytly to system?
I mean - you install, for example something like 'gps tracker' or any else kind of spy software on your phone - after all, someone steals your phone, uploads a new firmware and after that you still have access to gps?
Sec question - if you can't do this because new firmware remove all aplications and daemons working in background - can you do this when "new owner" of phone only make "factory reset" without upload new firmware?
In case that your phone is stolen or lost, why not to take advantage of the Android system security features, Factory Reset Protection (FRP) as well as 'Find My Device'?
'Find My Device' makes it easy to locate, ring, or wipe your device from the web.
Its not about functionality. I would not like to buy a used phone with additional pre-instaled "software". If it is possible and I cant remove it by reinstall software it will be scary. So I want to know if it is possible at all and if so, how can I check it?
If it will be possible it can be used to protect device too, every stolen phones got instant flash so when it happen 'Find My Device' would't be work.
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.
