All , I purchased a Vivo Nex via eBay. Want to hard reset and completely clean up the phone. However when you do the button hard reset a bunch of menus in Chinese show up and not sure the steps.
Anyone has any experience to share.
When you want to do an hard reset you need to enter a vivo account password.
If you don't have this. Ask to seller.
If you want to do that in recovery, it's the 2nd choice but don't do that if you don't have the vivo account password. (only if a vivo account was setup on your nex)
Thanks for the reply. The seller provided me with the vivo password. However I don't see any screen in which it asks for it

Someone here at work a a Chinese knock off of a Nexus. Model is mt6515.
Her daughter locked the phone with a pattern code and doesn't remember what it was.
In addition, it doesn't have a google account connected to it as it from China and it didn't accept it.
They download applications elsewhere.
I tried to go to the reset screen (Volume-down + power) but ended up with a test screen.
Is there any way to completely reset it?

Follow my thread for A68 in my signature
Same make handset
Just check how to factory reset
I have a problem after factory reset, after chosing the language/region it takes me to the Phone activation page (MANDATORY, can't skip) and asks me to log in with my Huawei user IUD & Password.
Since the morning it's giving me activation timed out, please try again
How can I skip this? or at least delink the account to the phone, tried through cloud.huawei.com but dind't find any links there.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Saif...
Phone is Mate 8
Have you contacted Huawei Support, that would be the best course of action.

Thanks, yes i did but unfortunatly without avail.
Was able to fix it though....
In cloud.huawei.com under find my phone, wait until it times out then delete it.
In the setting of the password request (not the change password part under profile) activate it.
Apply a factory reset, your phone will not ask your for phone activation after language/region setting.
Now i need to be clear, been told that sometimes the clould does not word. Nevertheless don't buy it lol
Good luck for everyone, this is THE machine! love everything it provides (especially speed & battery life!!!!!)

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?

Hello all,
My sister recently bought a Xiaomi smartphone for her 12-year old son. But after just a few months, her son forgot the lock pattern that he had use on the phone, as he was constantly changing it.
So, now the phone is working Ok, but we cannot log into it, as we do not know the pattern.
We have his credentials for the google account, and the Xiaomi (Mi) account.
However, t here is no option to use them to unlock the phone.
We also tried to contact Xiaomi, they asked for the Mi account credentials, and after we provided these credentials to Xiaomi, they sent us an SMS with a code...which did NOT work!
So, I don't really know what to do, except to us for help, as none of us is very technical.
I found this program (Mi account unlock tool), but since it is not an official Xiaomi program, I am scared that maybe it is a virus or something like this - do you think I should use it?
If not, then how can I unlock the phone?
I am OK with doing a factory reset, and losing all settings and data that are currently on the phone, if that is necessary.
Also, please note that when I press the power button and the volume up button, I do NOT get an options menu, I get a picture with a phone and a usb cable - probably the phone wants me to connect it to the computer, but I am not sure about what the next step should be.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
After 10 years I really should know the answer, but I don't, and the XDA search function still doesn't work for me.
My N5 has a broken SIM tray. I bought an eBay broken-screen N5 and put this motherboard into mine. It asks for a PIN, which I obviously don't have (understandable that the seller couldn't remove the account, since the screen was totalled).
I've asked the seller for the PIN, but personally I'd be reluctant in his shoes.
Is there a workaround? I've seen the YouTube video (factory reset, settings, enable bootloader unlock, etc.) but that looked as if it was on an Android 5 device and I'd be surprised if Google haven't closed the loophole.
In the absence of a PIN, any suggestions? I've seen a suggestion that the seller could remove the device from Google via his PC - would that work?
(Edit: No, the seller says that the device doesn't appear on his Google device list.)
Thank you...
Update to prevent anyone spending time trying to think of a way to help...
In fact for reasons which appear to go against everything I've read about FRP I was able to use Fastboot to boot TWRP and factory reset the device, after which I was able to install CrDroid. Maybe it's because the device was on Android 6, too old for FRP to be a problem.
Anyway, bottom line, all ok now.
