I got an A12 with someone's Gmail and Samsung account signed in. I removed Gmail but Samsung account needs password and so I can't factory reset. Tried QuickShortcutMaker to sing out from the email but I can't find the certain activity to change email. I want flash it and use my own Gmail and not Samsung account. Will it lock after flashing it in this state? I have OEM unlocked and USB debugging on

Hi,
I borrowed my friends SIM to activate my MYTOUCH phone. During activation, it said this GMAIL account is now linked to this phone. problem is it is HIS gmail account, not mines.
Is there a way to change the email to my gmail address?
Or is the only way to RESET the phone?
thanlks
I'm on an eclair rom right now but there should be an option in your settings called "sync" or something like that where you can add a gmail account and once you add one you can delete the other. Why did you need to borrow someone's SIM to activate the phone? Wouldn't that activate it on that service instead of your own? What are you gonna do when there's no wireless for you to use?

Yes, depend on rom installed. Try this , is you use a rom basef on Eclaire, or something similar in other cases.
Settings-Privacy settings-Factory data reset. Atention that erase all your data stored un phone (contacts etc)
Well, that's weird. Why did you put in your friend's email address? Should've been able to put in your email address even with his SIM.
I found the solution:
going into settings -> applications -> manage apps -> gmail, gmail storage & google apps and clear cache and data. then reboot the phone and see if it prompts you to enter a gmail account.
Once i deleted DATA, i was able to create new gmail account!
Just rooted with bean V5. Went to check my email and nothing is being received. I send a test from my email to my yahoo account and it shows up on my laptop. refresh phone....nothing. Reboot phone and still nothing. all my settings appear to be correct. I went to accounts and sync to delete account and re-attempt to add email account. It wont even let me delete yahoo account and says I must do factory wipe in order to delete this account. Its not my gmail account I'm trying to delete so why is this an issue!? I cant figure this out and it is pissing me off!!
Please give some direction if you can.
I have an odd Email issue. I turned on my phone and found a message saying that "Backup server detected an account change" it then deleted my legitimate @live.com email from the stock mail app and added [email protected] in its place. I now go to accounts in the system menu and behold, there is this new account that is not mine. It will not let me remove it either because it says it is needed by the system and can only be removed with a factory reset.
I also have backup assistant disabled and i am unsubscribed from it on verizon's end, so I don't know what backup server it is talking about.
I am stock, no root yet.
Several months ago, using my iPhone and Samsung account, I set reactivation lock on my Gear S3 watch for security purposes. Last month I switched to Galaxy S8 and I successfully paired my watch with my phone using the same email.
After a while, I had to change the country of Samsung account to receive notification emails in English but I couldn't do it using the website, therefore, I had to completely delete the account from Samsung portal and re-register it using the same email.
After this action, Samsung prompted login error on my Samsung S8 device which by a signing out the account and signing back using the same email and password, it solved the issue.
Now here is the problem. Yesterday after a factory reset of my Galaxy S8, I tried to pair my watch with my phone again but during the reactivation process, the watch didn't accept my Samsung account. I came to this conclusion that the activation lock somehow registered a key on my old account and by deleting the account I deleted that too. Samsung account should have informed me before deleting the account that I have an activation lock on my account and I can't remove the account until I unpair the device with my account. I have already contacted Samsung support and they gave me a non-relevant answer.
How do you think I should solve this issue which is caused by an error from Samsung?
Me too have the same issue... How did you solve this???
Remember : DO NOT DELETE A SAMSUNG ACCOUNT, not reversible. You lost your activation lock AND all your bought apps for this account
Samsung not responsible if you lock a watch and delete the lock account and not know if you lock or not a watch.
I have s8+ G955F locked screen password, i try remove password or change it by find my phone with gmail account but not work any help
Try https://findmymobile.samsung.com/#home but you need a samsung account already activated on the phone, plus sms verification.
