How to fool Googles Security on a used bought Moto G?

Hi guys, i hope you can help me out here.
a Friend of mine is a taxi driver and had a guest who forgot his money and paid with his Moto G 2015 8GB.
As a friend of good deals, my friend now wants his father to use this Smartphone since it offers enough for his needs.
I already set it up from the scratch, but google now wants me to login with the first account data from the previous owner, which im afraid-, we wont be able to obtain any more.
Id install Cyanogenmod without Gapps to ignore the Google Questioning, but i need to check the "Oem bootloader unlock" option, which i cant, cause i cant setup the smartphone any more.
I hope anyone of you can help me? The Phone it not stolen, so as far as it is possible, please help me!

Goto stock recovery and using vol.down+power key u will be in fast boot mode using vol down chose recovery mode and press power key to enter into stock recovery. If u see a dead android just press power key first and holding it press vol. Up then just scroll down to factory data reset and now every g account will remove. Now set it up

A factory reset will probably not help. Moto G implements the new Factory Reset Protection feature which Google did introduce with Android 5.1. This check for the password of the last Google account registered on the device will survive a factory reset.
To my knowledge there is a way to circumvent the Factory Reset Protection on some Samsung devices due to a faulty implementation by Samsung (this was in the news a few days ago).
But this will probably not help with the Moto G.

Just reflash the stock firmware and you will be good I hope

You can't do anything with stock firmware, you can't unlock bootloader. The new system protection is exactly for that purpose. If your reflash the firmware via fastboot, at first boot prompts you to login with any google account used before in the phone.
The only way to revert the locked status is login with google asociated account and wipe from the settings menu once the phone has been unlocked.

i tried the stock firmware reflash as well.
you so are telling me there is no way to get a working firmware on this phone without going actualy in the developer options and activate bootloader thingie?
i mean google did a good job on that part. Still sucks though, but thanks for the answer

Yes, you have no option. To unlock bootloader you need to turn on the oem unlock permission in settings and actually you can't enter in that setting.

The new sytem used cache to stor the password clearing cache and everything from stock will help.

When you reflash the stock firmware via fastboot it clear all data & cache. When boots with clean system it prompts again to activate the phone.

For one side is nice to see that this works... Too bad for you... I guess you already googled it right?

Forgot pattern lock and unable to unlock bootloader

I hope everyone is doing well. I have an android phone Motorola Moto G(1st generation). I have been using it for 3 years, everything was fine until last week and, when I changed and forgot my lock pattern. Since its lollipop, there is no option of forgot pattern. I was guided from Internet to reset the phone, I tried that but discovered that there was no recovery installed in it, so it cannot be hard reset. I looked for methods to install recovery, it says phone bootloader needs to be uncooked for that. I tried unlocking it on Motorola website, but it says phone is not eligible for the unlock. I am not sure why is this not eligible for unlock. I bought it from Amazon, an unlocked and international edition. Does anyone have any experience or insight to offer what can I do with my mobile now?

I have the same problem when i try to unlock my bootloader, i try many times before to give the code. And then i can unlock the bootloader

When I boot into fastboot, I get an option for factory reset. But I assume you tried that one already?

Fpr lock *byepass* (help)

So recently I have gotten a Note5 , which my friend has had sitting around and I bought it off him but he had forgotten his home password. So I did a Factory Reset but didn't know his old email and now I have tried bypassing the FRP method but none seem to work. It would be very grateful if someone can help me and.......... Also would flashing it back to its original image 5.1.1 help delete the FRP LoCK? :crying::

How can he do that if he cant get past frp lock?
I am curious myself to see how thTs done

isn't that there's a way to bypass it by connecting phone to computer and run sidesync on the computer?
....
Not sure if this method still works but that's how I bypassed a samsung core prime last month.
Also you need to list what methods you used so others can see what you used and see if they have any new ideas.

He needs to restore a back up, or reflash a stock tar. There are literally 10 threads on this. FRP only shows up when someone who has rooted turns off OEM Unlock. I know, cuz I did. Flashing stock tar or a backup will either allow the software to bypass the lock, or restore software that has OEM Unlock turned on..

Samsung S7 Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock

I got S7 SM-G930L with a port Rom from S8 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-s8-port-s7-s7-edge-ambasadii-t3619548). When I power on the phone I get a message: Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.
I would like to get rid of the FRP Lock without losing my data.
I saw a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdAhu45UPsU According to the comments 40% lost their data and 60% didn't.
Could you please advise how to make sure that my data won't be lost?

If there's an option for OEM Unlock in developer settings enable that to disable FRP

But how do I boot my phone? Now I'm getting a red message: Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock and the phone is not booting past that. It will not even let me in TWRP.

reflash the stock fw using odin

Not sure
I was said that because I'm using a port of S8 on S7, after I'll reflash stock ROM the data might be lost due to differences of memory formats.
Is it true?

If you haven't backed up your data, it will be lost.
When you get yourself back out of this mess, don't touch that OEM unlock toggle again...

Firstly I have a question regarding the OEM unlock as I just came out of the FRP Lock. Do I turn on OEM unlock or does it have to be turned off? Last time I had this FRP Lock was a year ago though did it again(the mistake with the OEM unlock) as I had forgotten it(Lots of grey hair)
Just don't know if it has to be on or off?
Secondly I have managed to come out of it(so far , hopefully) without wiping data with this guide

To unlock your device by frp lock you must flash the stock firmware when you are in bootloader mode you see custom binary blocked by frp,if you try to flash a random firmware(always of your device) the operation may not be a good end and device say an error with this:
Knumber) Snumber) Bnumber)
When you go to download the stock firmware you must see the "code" Of the firmware with write the same S or B number

Someone Help My Soul!!!
Guys, I'm scared to death on letting my phone reboot, I have been told to never let my phone restart unless my google account has been removed, can someone please explain how this FRP block really works?
Am I at risk at every given point of phone restart for real?

It stops someone stealing your phone, wiping it, installing new firmware and using it as if it was new. If you know the gmail and password you put on the phone to access the play store then you just need to re-enter it after the phone restarts. FRP will only kick in if you have flashed new firmware to the phone.

I have a new firmware flashed on the phone.
And I'm using a new gmail with is, not some one July bro used on it.
What am I to do now? I have developer settings OEM unlock toggled on already.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you have a Google account on the phone that you know the email and password to, then just reboot the phone. FRP lock will only activate if you flash new firmware to the phone without removing the Google account first.
Your device should only have 1 Google account registered on the device which let's you access Play store etc. If there is more than one, you need to delete the ones you don't know the email and password to.

Okay...
Oh, okay, now I am getting the rationale.
Albeit, when I flashed in the new custom firmware, it started give me the undo changes by restarting your phone notification, like it did the first time ever that I got the lock. I didn't click it, activated an app that discarded the notification rather.
Now it makes me doubt if I had really removed my mail before flashing the phone.

hey
i have got the same problem. when i deleted xposed installer, my device rebooted. every time i try to turn it on, it says in top left corner 'custom binary blocked by frp lock'. i tried 3 diff rom to flash, no succes. i tried to acces twrp (my device is rooted) but again no succes. can you guys help me?

Yeah you've messed it up by not signing out of account before unistalling xposed. When you say 3 different rom's do you mean stock or custom?
Even in this state you should be able to flash a stock rom to the device with Odin and it will ask you to type the google email and password after boot.
Always turn off FRP lock before modifying the phone, it's a really annoying feature.

Question Flash stock firmware and lock bootloader

HHello, I wanted to consult something before getting into a problem. I have the moto g100 with the challenge channel, since the Android 12 ota did not come out for this channel, I decided to install the Android 12 retail ota, Everything worked correctly, but now I want to install my original firmware which is RETAR and block the bootloader, so my question is the following, can I flash my original firmware and lock the bootloader?.

Yes if you flash ORGINAL ROM (Android Version) for your device you can LOCK bootloader for your device.

Lock the bootloader at your own risk, this forum has a thread full of people who have bricked their device after relocking.
Phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back...
I wanted to help someone whose phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back, phone hangs on a red warning. And in the process of experimenting myself got confused and got into the same situation. Unlocking the bootloader...
forum.xda-developers.com

The stock roms found on lolinet won't boot after relocking and you'll loose the ability to flash anything else. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Also, you can't downgrade the bootloader. What this means is that if you flash older Android 11 stock image it may result in bootloop.

I have a G8 doha that was hard bricked a few years ago.. It did not show up in device manger at all, no matter how i tried. Not even the Qualcomm mode. This did happen after locking bootloader or change slot A/B. (Don't remember, sorry). The phone was totally dead, so it was just "archieved for later use".. Then one month ago i found a description on how to wake it up to qualcomm mode by shorting two points on pcb. I tried, and it did work. Phone showed up in device manager, and i flashed blankflash. After that i flashed stock rom. Phone is now working again. I had to do several tries to get it up running. The description on how to do it was not accurate, but i found a sequence to start it. Unfortunately i don't remember exactly. It is something with pushing/holding a button when connecting USB or shorting points on pcb.. Youtube link show how to do it..

Yes I relock my bootloader on the Moto g100 the North American version. Right after I did it I tried to set up my phone and it wanted my last four digit Google pin code and if you didn't do it fast enough it kept rebooting so for a half hour I tried everything under the sun Google kept asking me I want to try another way. But I have two step verification on my Google account so it couldn't send me the code over my telephone number so after a couple tries using the recover my account option underneath which asked you like personal information like your name and everything it finally gave me three options of three different Google emails I have. I got my unlock code and unlock the bootloader without using a PC or a computer. I used bugjaeger. The premium app is well worth the $10 it works super easy and super efficient
