Releasing a phone that's linked to an account - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Full noob here. Will appreciate all the suggestions I can get, thanks in advance!
So i have a Galaxy note 8 designated for Sprint. The problem is, it's linked so someones account. I bought this phone from ebay and there is no hope of contacting the person. Is there any way I can get around this?
The phone has a clean ESN...just needs to be released so I can activate it.
Thanks

Nope they will have to do it.

This is an Android device form but in this case let's put that aside. As @lionelsuyog had suggest. Its best to get your device unlocked at shops. It not expensive and its worth the bucks.
Thank you guys so much for responding! I didn't realize this was android only I apologize! I have seen online there are unlock programs that don't charge much. Does anyone know if any online unlock programs work or are good? I so much appreciate your help

Google Pixel 7.1.2 FRP unlocked with latest patch security

Moderator EDIT: Content removed.
Is there a cost associated with this workaround? If so, full disclosure please. If not then why not post the fix for all to see? Also, and I don't know the answer to this question, is this legal? Isn't FRP used to protect users who have their phones lost or stolen?

Maybe because as soon as any workaround is posted publicly, it gets patched.

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.
Well, impossible as it seems, another Pixel bites the dust!!
Thank you Ismail for everything, and congrats man for this truly amazing achievement! You are the top man as in this moment!
So guys, if you do have a problem with your FRP gone wild, contact Ismail. He really knows what he's doing.

Do you want to be able to use your locked phone or keep it as a $500 paper weight?

not relevant thanks for help

Thanks.
Why would you need to bypass it?
And no, it's not as simple as that, it's designed to stop thieves from reactivating stolen phones

Lol. I didn't ask for an asinine value judgment of the thread. If you don't know, how about don't respond , especially in such an agressive manner.

Based on comments John Wu has made on Twitter it is doable, but is going to require major changes to Magisk. I believe he is going to wait for the final release before he starts.

Not happening. Look at the Verizon thread. A nice guy gave it his all and a few people tried basic stuff. Never buy from a carrier again.

Looks like you were answering the question of rooting Q with the lack of Verizon unlockable bootloader as your example with the "never buy from a carrier" comment when nobody claimed in this thread that they did buy from a carrier. Q is rooted, and that appears to be the reason for the "chewing on those words" comment. If your original comment was just to say that Verizon wouldn't get BL unlocked... wrong thread.

SM-N986U Bootloader

Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader? Or does anyone have the source to root a galaxy note 20 ultra (snapdragon)? I've seen the link saying why someone did it but it doesn't explain how they did it, or where. I understand i might have to pay but honestly it's worth it.

Currently, the only way is via that method. It's done through an unlocking method that only they're able to do. Otherwise, it would have been discussed by now

SamPWND unlocks bootloader on Snapdragon Galaxy​SamPWND is a paid service that (remotely) helps you unlock the bootloader on Snapdragon Galaxy devices sold in the USA and Canada. This service is provided by XDA Recognized Developer and long-time community member elliwigy. He first announced this service over at XDA in December 2020.
He is the same developer who found an exploit that led to root solutions for various Snapdragon devices including Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9/S9+, and Galaxy Note 9.
Here’s the old direct link to SamPWND’s official website: https://www.sampwnd.com/... but unfortunately the site is down.
You can contact elliwigy here though and ask.​
