Hey guys, havent been on here for a while but I dug up my old Pixel and was trying to mess around with it again. However, my dad had factory reset it because he didnt know my old pin and now I can't get past the Pixel set up screen because it is asking for my old pin, and when I try to login with my email instead I cant because I had removed the device from my google account a year ago. Is there any way for me to bypass this? I tried using adb but because it doesnt go past the set up screen I am unable to enable ADB in the settings or enable unlocking the bootloader. I dont even know what firmware it is on but I am pretty sure it is updated to the latest version.
mod can you take this down, did an frp bypass and i got it to work

My son ended up setting a screen lock pin on my cell phone and 30 minutes later he brings me the phone and tells me he can't remember the pin. I read on the verizon website that if you enter the wrong pin 5 times there will be an option to unlock the phone using my google credentials. I don't see this prompt on my phone. It's a verizon S3 running Android 4.1 something. USB debugging is not turned on and the phone has not been rooted.
Does Android 4.1 not include the option to unlock using your gmail account?
I even called Verizon and they told me I should be seeing the prompt.
I saw a few apps on the play store that claim to be able to unlock your phone via USB connection, but they only work up to version 4.0.
Worst case I know I can factory reset the phone, but I have a lot of photos on my internal storage and also don't want to lose all my text messages. I have never done a backup unfortunately.....
Is there a way around this or am I screwed? ......
Thanks in advance

I lent my backup Honor 8 to my daughter when she broke her iPhone. Once she got a new phone it went into a drawer until now. She does not remember her PIN. I've done a reset but now the FRP will not let me use the phone.
What are my options? The HiSuite software requires me to allow it on the phone, which I can't do.
This is truly frustrating. I can't believe it is so difficult to reset a phone I own.
What are my options?
Isn't it possible to reset the phone through eRecovery? Afaik you just need to hold vol up button while powering up the phone until it gets you in.
The FRP means you have to sign in using the Google account which was previously logged in to the device. Once you do that, simply remove that account and she'll be able to use it just fine.
Boot your device into bootloader and unlock bootloader with DC-unlocker. It will cost around 4 usd. It will completely disable FRP if you don't know the google account that was used previously.
Hello, I recently found an LG Stylo 3 in one of my drawers that has a knock code on it. I don't remember the code and I already tried 66 times to unlock it (it now takes 240 seconds between each attempt). No "Forgot Password" or backup pin option shows up, USB Debugging is on but it's unauthorized, and the mode that it's on when I connect the phone to my PC is Charging Only. I just want to know what pictures I have saved on it, or if I can pull out my photos or something. I can't reboot into bootloader from the recovery options, it just reboots my phone. I'm able to go into recovery, and safemode, update from adb puts it into sideload mode, and it's connected to my wifi but because I changed my passwords on my google accounts already, the phone doesn't show up in any of my google device manager accounts.
Everything is stock, no custom recovery or firmware and it's not rooted.
What can I do now? Is there a way to reset my password or bypass it entirely? I don't care how technical it is, if given a good guide I can do it. I can't find anything to help me, hopefully someone can help my problem here.
Before anything, I didn't steal the phone, it's my old phone I had when on Virgin Mobile, I can give as much proof as I can to show that it is my phone if needed. I just don't remember the knock code
Thanks!
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.
Hi, I broke my phone and got a U11 from my girlfriend which she doesn't use anymore. Sadly she forgot the unlocking pattern. She still has access to her Google account and the phone appears their under her connected devices. As suggested on the support page of HTC I did a factory reset and wiped data and cache of the phone. However, after restarting I still get asked for the unlocking pattern and other then expected there is no option where I can unlock my phone using the Google account credentials.
So my question is: Why doesn't Google unlock option appear on my phone and how can I fix this?
The phone's bootloader is locked and debugging mode is deactivated.
Searching this forum I found this and this related threads, but they didn't solve my problem.
I tried out many youtube hacks in order to bypass the FRP but I always ended up at a point where an option used in the video wasn't available on my phone. I assume HTC patched a lot of these security bypasses.
I hope someone can help me make this phone usable again and thanks in advance!
