Hello,
If asked can Google block a device by its serial number to prevent it from ever being allowed to use Google services?
If so, does that mean Google can help users locate a device if it is connected to a WiFi? whether from existing user account or from a new Google account?
This doesn't only apply to a stolen devices but in case a seller decide to screw around with a buyer of a used devices.
Would appreciate some feedbacks.
Thank you.
So i bought this Sprint Galaxy Note 5 from a friend tried a hard reset but it now asks for the original google account info. I asked my friend and he said he doesn't know the account info because he found the phone in his apartment parking lot and asked around but no one claimed it after 2 months. Is there anyway i can bypass the google account lock?
I don't think there is any way you could prove to forum members online that you didn't just steal someone's Note 5. Also, you just created your account, so you have no reputation on the forums at all. In summary, no...I highly doubt you're going to be able bypass the Google Account Lock on a phone that does not belong to you.
There's a Youtube video on how to do that
Ok so recently i have been refunding purchases from a game that i am playing. After a while google decided to block all my purchases from a specific gmail account. The problem now , it seems that google has blocked my device as a whole instead of only blocking my account from making a purchase. How did i come up with that? Simple i logged in my brothers google account in my blocked device and I still cant make a purchase. While that account using his phone could make a purchase. And even with a fresh account on my blocked device still cant make any purchase.
I tried to submit documents to confirm my account but they were firm with the decision to close the payment function of my account.
I have tried changing my device id, imei, mac address, android id, s/n using exposed but none of this seems to work. Any one has an idea how to by pass this ban?

Look inside here:
How to recover your Google Account or Gmail - Google Account Help
If you forgot your password or username, or you can’t get verification codes, follow these steps to recover your Google Account. That way, you can use services like Gmail, Photos, and Google Play.
support.google.com
You should have a phone number and another email account associated with your Google account. You risk completely and permanently losing access otherwise.
These accounts seldom get hacked if you have a very strong password that you change periodically, but it's not 100% hack proof.
Experience has taught me never to use verification Qs, the devil is in the details.
One missed letter in any of the brain picking Q responses can bone you hard.
Lol, do you really want Google to know your mother's maiden name? NO.
I lost a Gmail account over a decade ago due to hackers along with thousands of other Gmail users. It can happen... cover your assets

If Google's advices can't help so how XDA members could help? Do you really think that they know it better than Google?

Hi, I have one of these tablets that came out of a kitchen showroom (legally - I work for that company) and was supplied pre-loaded etc. The company that supplied it have disbanded that department and I am unable to get access to the Google account that set it up (the company don't even know the account name). Is there any way to reload the OS to bypass the accont check? This is all legal and I have permission to do anything I want to the tablet. I'd hate to bin it just because it is locked to a specific account with no way to retrieve that account.
I managed to reset the tablet but as soon as it gets a network connection, it wants me to sign in which I am obviously unable to do.
