Hi,
My friend bought a brand new HTCOne A9 phone, he entered a gmail account which he uses on another htc phone after he synchronized the new phone he decided that he should use a different gmail account so he reset the phone and create a new gmail account and entered it but didnt the phone did not accept the new gmail account and instead it asks for the first email that he used and synchronized with in the begining. I have tried several email accounts and it didnt work the phone is stuck now as its shown in the picture and cant go further than that .......anyone knows what should i do????
my friend doesnt mind (unlocking rooting ...etc) his phone as long he gets it working
ps:- cant use adb or fastboot command cause the the USB Debugging is disabled

That is the security feature. What if you are not the owner and you are trying to put your hands over others phone. May be you can try clicking help me finding my account option on the screen.
Hi guys,
Don't ask why, at the time being I tought it was a good idea to disable oem in the developer settings while having a custom rom. That having said, I needed to do a complete reset with odin and flash the stock firmware. Because I still had my google account tied to my phone, they now want that I sign in with that account. After many failed attemps I changed the passwort an finally logged in. But then it said that I should use an account which was previously used with the phone. And I am 100% sure that that is the right one, but google tells me otherwise. I read something about a 24h lock if the password is changed. Is it as simple as waiting a day?
I know it is this email, because when I logged into google in the web, it showed me that the device was recently factory reset. It also showed me my phone nummber and I could see apps which I installed on this phone. I only have on, so that must me it?
I'm really lost here. I already searched for ways to contact google, but I came up with nothing email-related to my problem and I really don't wan't to call them. IIs there a working way to bypass it? I know there were some with earlier security patches.
Also, does anybody know, where I could post this in the google forums? I looked at all of them, but none would fit into my problem. The closest I got wouuld have been google play store
Don't know if it's usefull:
Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) running 6.0.1 with firmware downloaded yesterday straight from Samsung
Try that:
Thanks for the help, but the problem resolved itself. After waiting for a day I was able to log in using the account I mentioned. Don't know if it was part of the protection to display that the account was not usable or not, but it hat me severely confused.
After doing a full reset on my phone using Mobile Upgrade Q (which successfully removed CM and TWRP from my phone) I get an error message when trying to set up Android saying "sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device." I've only ever used one google account with this device, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Its factory reset protection, you have to log in with the google account associated with the phone prior to reset.... To avoid this in future or if you sell phone just remove your Google account in settings... accounts before factory reset... It's the equivalent of iCloud locking on Apple, designed to cut down on theft.... If you cant remember the password you can go to the Google account recovery page for assistance
https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery
I don't understand. I WAS logged into the account prior to the reset, on CM. It's the only account I've ever used on this phone, and I haven't changed the password.
How do I unlock it? Is it even possible, or does it think I stole the phone?
Is it possible to reinstall TWRP and CM now? Just to have a useable phone?

If you reset it any other way than from settings reset phone (i.e. Recovery mode or something like mobile upgrade Q) without first removing your Google acct your locked out for 24 hours(used to be 72 hours).

But if it locked me out with the correct information, how can I be sure it will let me in after 24 hours?

Here is a writeup on how and why frp works like it does....
http://www.pcnexus.net/2015/12/what...gle-72-hour-lockout-android-lollipop.html?m=1
There are some hacks around it, but I have never tried them, best method to avoid frp headaches is to simply remove your Google acct prior to any reset
Is there anything special I have to do to login in 24 hours? Is it 24 hours from the first time I reset or the last time I reset (I wiped it a few times trying to get in)?

Thank you for the link. Just to be clear, in case future people ever find this thread: during the 24 hour lock out, you cannot unlock the phone, EVEN WITH THE CORRECT ACCOUNT NAME AND PASSWORD. Oddly enough, the device can still receive phone calls, and displays the caller's contact name. So it's definitely logged into my account, it's just locked out of doing anything except receiving calls. Also, I can hear that the phone is receiving text messages, though I have no way to read or reply to them.
Once I unlock it, I will update this thread with how and what it looks like, again, just in case someone finds this thread in the future, because this information is hard to find.
Same

I have the same issue were you able to unlock it? The only way I got back in was by installing cm12.1 but I would like to go back to stock.
Yes. 24 hours after my last reset, I was able to log in and unlock the phone.

Before running mobile upgrade Q just remove your Google account in settings, I believe that will allow you to safely reset without triggering FRP...
Nice!!!

This happened to me yesterday so I hope it works for me as well.
You know what, I just happened to be looking for the official Alcatel factory flash tool and came across this post because after a few factory resets I was able to get the phone to boot up......BUT, as described above, the phone will only accept the PREVIOUS password which I forgot.... I simply requested a new password be created and it doesn't unlock the phone.
So now I too must wait 24, wow.
This is BS.. I mean, yeah I factory reset the phone because after my son accepted a system update, his phone kept bootlooping and his battery doesn't want to accept a charge now (so it seems per the display).....but what if I want to sell my phone? We have to remove the gmail account prior??????? Wow way to go Alcatel. And if this is actually an Android feature, it sucks.
Now, can anyone direct me to the actual official Alcatel upgrade tool????? I want to just flash this stock unrooted phone to out of box condition so we can trade his phone in. The Alcatel website no longer offers it from what I can see. Thanks!

It's an android security feature introduced in 5.1 LP, it only triggers the wait if you reset any way other than from settings. It's similiar to an iCloud lock, so yes if you sell phone remove google account, or if your buying a used phone make sure the google account is removed prior to reset, or boot up phone and make sure you can get passed the lockout before buying it!!

at last i understand why i never ever heard of it
my 6039y is still on 5.0.2 and i never removed gmail accout before made a reset with mobile q or any other way and google never did anything.
Hello, a few days ago my aunt called me, because she was unable to get her phone to work. Turns out she managed to get into the recovery menu while attempting to turn the phone on and hit factory reset from there. I do have access to her login details for the account that was used with the phone, and the phone in question does appear to be linked to this account. I have waited 72 hours since she reset the phone, but haven't been able to log into it. I also do not see the option to remove the phone in the security tab in her Google account. How screwed is the phone?
The phone is a Gigaset GS370, and finding a legit stock firmware for it is unlikely, although if anyone has any ideas, it's appreciated.

FRP can likely be bypassed.
But you really need to see a video of it being done to understand.
Search YouTube for frp, your device and Android version.

my sister gave me her old google pixel 3 and after factory reset it says that i need to put in the old device pin or log into the old account associated with it. my sister doesnt remember the password to the google account on it so ive been trying to figure out how to either bypass this or download a new os onto it. is there any way to do this, or do i have an expensive paperweight now?
