Hi guys I was looking in YouTube any videos that can help me to by pass this samsung account. I bought a phone though ebay and I'm really frustrated because they didn't tell me that the phone has a Samsung account locked and it's requiring the old user to let me in. I check that you can by pass using the forgot password and Web browser technique but this phone doesn't let me touch anything just write the old Id. I need help by passing this because it's impossible to me to send it back it will cost lot of money because I live in other country. Hope guys can help me to discover how to by pass this thing I'm already getting crazy. Thanks

Why don't you just ask the person you bought it from for the password?
I did but he said he don't know that whY he sold it
He does not know maybe because its a stolen phone? He can somehow do a password reset via samsung account on any computer.
Once reset you can enter that password on ur phone

Sounds stolen to me.
Definitely stolen. Demand a refund or threaten to report the guy if he doesn't.
The only way to bypass it is if you have access the the original owners email too. Resetting the password on a Samsung account in a browser just sends a new password to the email address that was used to register the Samsung account.
So you are out of luck.
OTOH, once you setup the phone from scratch (ie. do a factory reset) can't you just bypass setting up Google and Samsung accounts at the setup? If you disable all networks (ie. on airplane mode) the phone can't phone home to ask for the original users password. So you can keep using it as long as you have it in airplane mode. Just use it as a dumb phone and get your apks from your pc.
After 3 hours of touch and touch I definitely figure how to by pass this function in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Verizon version.
1. Proceed to go to the locked screen with wifi oN
2. Go to a place where you can write something When The keyboard appears check that you can see a a tools icon its located below at the side of sym button.
3.ok now we are in keyboard settings you need to scroll to the end and enter to the "adjust keyboard size" or " resize keyboard ".
4. In this section write something and then keep press the word that you put and select dictionary
5. Now find the way to access to Google now I don't remember the full process in this section lol
6.follow steps like login into you Google account when finished you will be in Google now
7. Keep your finger touched in the screen and move it to the right side and you will see you account logged "the Google account "
8. Touch the little arrow symbol in your Google account and go to the account manager.
9. Create a new Samsung account and bwaula!!!! Enjoy your phone XD
Sorry I did my best to explain it was my first time and I didn't record everything. Hope it help for you it take me 3 hours of my life that I'm sharing with you guys. Any questions I'll be here

Wow, exploit LOL.
That really doesn't sound secure at all. It's meant to protect the phone from being used again. What's the point if it can be bypassed? I guess it's gonna be patched as soon as this method gets published around the place.
I'm gonna go try it out on my phone.
Great job btw! (as long as you weren't the original thief, cause if you are, then screw you but thanks for the technique too)

I can confirm that this works. Lol, I was rooting around with my phone and manage to reactivation locked my phone which caused me to factory wipe/reset the phone. Unfortunately something weird happened to my samsung account with a whole bunch of processing failed. There is a way to solve that too. Unfortunately, I am unwilling to post more directions since this Samsung Account thing is primarily used to prevent theft.

If you're running 5.1.1 then that method will not work any longer. It's been "fixed" so there is no useful options from tapping the words or attempting to get into the dictionary.

With Google Now there was an option to turn it off. I haven't been able to find that option for Google Assistant.
Edit: To be clear, I selected "No Thanks" in the Assistant settings screen. However, if I say "OK, Google" it still takes me to the settings screen, indicating it's still listening.

No. The closest I can get to is a screen saying "Meet your personal Google Assistant" with a "Continue" button. If I tap continue, I get a list of permissions and the options "Yes I'm In" or "No Thanks"

Don't feel bad VM--I'm in the same boat with you. I have zero interest in/desire for Google Assistant. This may sound weird, hut speaking interrupts my thought process. When I type, I can continue to think. So, more. often than not, I'd much rather type than speak.
So, when I finally got around to the installing it for the second time, (The first time was a big fail because I wanted NO part of it.) I got yo a point where it wanted to link to my other devices. (I think. It's been a while, but I think that's what it wanted to do. For some reason, I keep thinking that it wanted to turn on Google Assistant on all of my devices. ) That got a big fat "No thanks". (I knew I should have registered that device with a new account!) "No thanks" was a legitimate option, at that point. I thought the installation would proceed on that device--the one where it was being installed. Instead, the installation process terminated.
Apparently, my installation isn't completed either, so I cannot turn it off. To make matters worse, it's occupying a ton of space on a device that has little to spare.
There are at least a couple ways to get to the Google settings, and the following is one way.
Settings > Google > Search
My notes suggest Settings in that area previously went to the first screen posted, without first setting up Assistant, but the v8.0 version from November 2017 kept going to Assistant setup on my phone. After installing the v8.1 update from December 2017, it's again possible to turn off Assistant, without first setting it up.
Settings > Google > Search > Settings (only first time went to Assistant setup) > Pixel > Google Assistant - Off
The second screen posted is located here.
Settings > Google > Search > Voice > "OK Google" detection
Assistant needs a bunch of settings to run, so if the items in the following are turned off or paused Assistant can't be used. My phone seemed to use a bit less battery in standby with Assistant turned off and these items disabled, but it's rather minimal, maybe around 3% less battery per day on Android v7.
Settings > Google > Search > Accounts & privacy > Google activity controls
Changing the following will alter what happens when holding the home button. I have mine set to call android.intent.action.VOICE_ASSIST using Tasker.
Settings > Apps & notifications > Default apps > Assist & voice input > Assist app

Just in case you don't know, when you invoke Google Assistant you can hit the little keyboard icon (rectangle with six dots) on the left and then type into it instead of speaking. Just FYI in case the speaking thing is the only reason you don't want to use it.
Hi. Just bought a new unlocked HTC U11 and am very pleased with it but I can't find Google Assistant. I've tried long pressing on the Home button but no luck. My Android version is 7.1.1 Software number is 1.13.401.1 and Play services is 11.0.55.
Am I doing something wrong (very possible!)?
Thanks in advance.
Hold down home button(fingerprint scanner), tap left bottom Google Icon, then menu top left(3 bars), then Settings, Click Enable Google Assistant.
Thanks for swift reply.
No sign of the enable Google Assistant I'm afraid.
Any thoughts?
What shows up when you hold fingerprint down?
Nothing like that I'm afraid
Just the old Google screen with the search box at the top and the box with Reminders, Events etc below
Is your Google play services up to date? I had assistant configuration as part of out of the box set-up.
Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk
Deleted updates and then updated Play services and still nothing, it certainly is a mystery.
Switched my phone to English and deleted Google App data, once I pressed home button for few seconds Google Assistant setup showed..
You can try that.
Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid still no luck.

What's the language of your phone?
What version of Google App?
I had to change my phone language and Google App language to English (US) as default, clear Google App data to have google assistant enabled.
I have the same issue (all latest firmware & software updates).
Have you tried the above solutions?
Can you go to App Drawer click Google App, 3 Bars at top Left, Then Settings. The top should be Google Assistant, subcategories under it are Settings and What can you do?
As people have stated change your language to English and then go to Settings/Apps and then to each of the Goggle Apps and clear cache. Google, Google Play Services. Then resync all.
Changing to English (US) has worked! Thanks to everyone for their help.
Are you guys able to get OK Google voice detection works? Is U11 able to wake up to these words even screen is off /locked/ screen on and unlocked? Even added to Trusted voice. I dont seems to get it work in English (US). Other then press and hold Google Assistant is working.
Possible solution to hands-free Google wakeword on U11
Setting up an HTC U11 for dual VA
1. Long press on the fingerprint reader to bring up Google Assistant.
2. Touch the drawer icon in the upper right.
3. Touch the 3 dots in the upper right.
4. Select Settings
5. Touch Phone under Devices
6. Touch ‘OK Google Detection’
7. Enable “Say OK Google any time”
Finish by saying "OK Google 3x. Now Google Assistant launches hands-free even when the screen is off.

[FRP] LG V20 US996 US Cellular - FRP Bypass - Multiple Bypass Methods
Security Patch - Feb 01 2018
Android 7.0
What's needed?
1) Little time
2) BlueTooth earpiece (optional depending on method)
3) WiFi
4) OTG / SDCard (optional depending on method)
5) APK's (optional depending on method)
Initial Setup:
Hard Reset phone. Enable wifi and then enable talkback by holding two fingers on the screen. Draw an L from top to bottom on the screen to get to menu, scroll down to Help at the bottom of the list and press this. Now press on [about switch access]. Press on the youtube video to open it up. Now share the video to a message. Type in any number at the top and press enter. To the right hit the + sign to add it as a new contact. Now when adding the new contact scroll down to location and press this. When the map opens search for a location and then press on it, hold down for a sec or press again and you should see a little blue route icon pop out from the bottom right side of the screen. Once it does press it to get into Google Maps. Start a route and then press the Microphone icon and say "open settings". Now the following methods are all different but since we are going to focus mainly on my crashing the setup wizard method I love using we will need to pair a bluetooth ear piece. So goto bluetooth in settings and pair yours. Goto Security and disable phone administrator. Now goto Apps in settings and top right press this and select show system. Scroll to Google Framework, Disable, Stop this application then clear the Data and Cache. Reboot. Use Bluetooth or initial method above to get back to settings and goto Security and enable Unknown Sources.
Method 1 - Crash The Setup Wizard
1) You will need some files so you can either a) download them from google by using bluetooth saying "google" to get to google. b) load the files on an sdcard. c) load the files on a flash drive connected to an OTG cable and hoot this up to your phone. The files you will need? Sidebar, Quick Shortcut Maker or Shortcut Master Lite, and the others needed I will edit this for the methods they're needed for when I get ahold of another V20 and time to finish up some of these other methods. Install Sidebar and open it up. Install Shortcut Maker and no need to open just yet. Swipe from the left of the screen to slide into view the sidebar. Go and add these to the bar, settings, google, shortcut maker/ shortcut master lite and anything else you want to add.
2) Time to get on with crashing the Setup Wizard! Using your bluetooth goto aettings. Goto Applications now and do this for each and every one of these proesses im about to list. Disable, Force Stop, Clear Data and Cache. ALL except for Google App this one JUST clear cache and disable/stop. Now the applications? Setup Wizard (both), Google Account Manager, Google Play Services, Google Framework, Google One Time Init, Google App, Google Backup Transport, Google Calender Sync, Google Contact Sync, Google Partner Setup, Google Play Store and last one.. Google Text to Speech Engine.
3) Slide sidebar into view and open Shortcut Maker or Shortcut Master Lite which ever one you installed. Search for Setup and then in the results search for the LG SetupWizard with the following text below it.
Code:
com.android.lgsetupwizard.setuphomeinit[/home] launch this and it will take you back to where you started all of this. Forward through and disable wifi then go forward through pages until setup wizard closes, do this again but you want to hit forward and back on the last part before you get the setup wizard closing msg. Eventually you'll break through onto the homepage. Now goto settings, enable developer settings by going to about and clicking the build multiple times until it says they are enabled. Go back to settings and you will now see Developer Settings near the bottom. Go into these settings then enable 1) oem unlocking 2) usb debugging. Then goto settings -> backup and reset and reset your phone. Wait for it to reboot.
[B][I]Viola![/I][/B] [U]You are done now.[/U] Follow through the Setup Wizard like normal now and make use of your previous paperweight.
[B]Method 2 [/B]- No Crash Login Bypass using apk's
[I](To be continued when I get another V20 in person to do FRP on and some Dev work. I will edit this post after I get another.)[/I]
[B]Method 3[/B] - LG Backup Transfer File
Follow initial steps.. and this time open up LG Backup and goto where you manually select a backup file to import. Open my restore file [FILE WILL BE ATTACHED WHEN I CREATE IT]. When done reboot. Then if you installed sidebar and put shortcut maker / shortcut master lite on it use it or use the bluetooth to get to open this. Search for Setup and then in the results search for the LG SetupWizard with the following text below it. [code]com.android.lgsetupwizard.setuphomeinit[/home] launch this and it will take you back to where you started all of this.
[I]I will be doing this bypass method on any LG I get in from suppliers / auction that is capable of making use of it for here on out on most my tutorials provided I have time.[/I]

Just the way i chose to do this. I have the other methods just did not have the time to 100% test them on a physical V20 in hands as i was doing it for someone else who needed it back. I normally use hardware these days for FRP Removal but cant resist freestyling and finding ways on my own / other compatible methods. This is much cleaner this way as everything is setup and ready for me to edit once i get another physical one in hand which wont be hard. I deal with a lot of auctions and big distributors in bulk phones as part of my job. All in due time.. Im a busy guy. heh
Also now that i have gave an idea on what else works anyone else can feel free to take it on themselves and post a thread. Helping out here.
Thanks
[Guide] [Magisk] How to Enable Google Call Screening on "Unsupported" Devices
This should work on any device that is able to replicate the instructions here, there may be some things that I forget to mention that have an effect on if it works, just report back and I will try to add more details.
Tested on my OnePlus 7 pro, with everything updated, no special app version for Google Phone or anything like that
I take no responsibility for anything that happens with your device, although this should all be relatively safe and reverseable.
You must be rooted with Magisk, this is mostly done with modules that are available on the official repo.
1. You will Need these Magisk Modules installed
App Systemizer
Google Dialer Framework
MagiskHide Props Config
Google Call Screening or if this doesn't work you can just edit the prefs xml manually with Prefedit . If you do use this module you will also need:
Busybox for Android NDK.
2 I just realized this part was an exact copy of the guide over at gadgethacks[/URL] , and they did a way more detailed job than I could do, so credit where it's due.
Summarized :
Google Phone should be installable from the Play store after a reboot, if not try clearing Play store storage, if that doesn't work, try clearing Play services storage, if that doesn't work, try installing it from Apkmirror.
Systemize Google phone according to the Systemizer, gadgethacks really breaks this down, you need a terminal emulator, and you do a "su" command, and then a "systemize" command, and its pretty straightforward after that, just find it and select it and reboot. I think you might want to disable your stock dialer in your settings as well.
Make sure Google phone has all the permissions granted and is set as your default spam app (Search for spam in your phone settings).
3. Now for the new part, as the one on gadgethacks doesn't work anymore.
Open terminal emulator again, run a "su" command, and a "props" command.
Select device simulation, (You might have to enable it first) and navigate through the menu, to Google Pixel 4(XL). You might have to go all the way back to the main menu, as it only applys half the props, and go into device simulation again and apply all the props ( I skipped display.id as I don't know if that would mess up anything, and I didn't need it).
4. Reboot. Now just wait a little, clear Google Phone Data, Play Services Data (Don't know if this is necessary). After a bit you should be able to go into Google Phone settings and it should say call screen there, I think you need to be on WiFi for it to enable, and it takes a bit, I had to wait for a while and then it started working.
In for later
Currently on OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G TMO, running AOSiP, and the option shows up. But upon trying it, caller cannot hear a voice and no transcription shows up on my end. Using app from play store.
What version of the Google dialer are you using?

Latest available on the play store.
Thanks this worked for me on OnePlus 7 Pro on latest beta firmware.
Funny. On my OP7Pro, after following the instructions and enabling call screen successfully, I disabled the MagiskHidePropsConfig module and Call Screen is still there, even after a reboot. I'm guessing it will go away if I clear the phone and maybe Google Play Services app data...
Edit: Nope. Thought disabling PropsConfig was okay but Call Screen went away later on. Oh well...

4. Reboot. Now just wait a little, clear Google Phone Data, Play Services Data (Don't know if this is necessary). After a bit you should be able to go into Google Phone settings and it should say call screen there, I think you need to be on WiFi for it to enable, and it takes a bit, I had to wait for a while and then it started working.

Thanks for this quide - although I'm a bit confused as I haven't done any props simulation before.
I've enabled simulation by setting the phone as my OnePlus 8 Pro (INC2023) and have enabled all of the props, but I'm unsure of what you mean by 'and navigate through the menu, to Google Pixel 4(XL)'.
The only way I can find the 4XL is by changing my device fingerprint, is that righjt? (I have tried that, but the screen is set to the lowest brightness and can't be changed and the call screening option doesn't appear in the Phone settings). I've changed back to my IN2023 and its functioning as normal again.
Thanks again
You need to set your phone as the Pixel 4 xl. Your screen might be acting up because of the screen ID property, which isn't necessary to change. See the attached screenshot in the OP.

I checked and it looks fine to me, am I missing something?:

That looks right, but according to your first post I think you might be simulating your own device, you need to simulate the pixel 4(xl)
Sorry, I meant that in order to enable simulation I had to set up the initial fingerprint so I set up the op8p, from there I enabled simulation and then set the props as the pixel 4 XL.
On the main screen of the module, in the terminal, select option 1 ( edit device fingerprint) should look like this. If not change it within the submenus.

Ok looks right. If everything else is good, I think Google phone needs to be a system app, set as default phone app, and maybe clear Google play services data, it should pop up in google phone settings where you can enable it.

Yeah, but I'm guessing something isn't quite right if I'm getting this dim screen.. I've reset my props and am going to try again from scratch. Will let you know how it goes

Ok so I just had the fun of going through each of the props parameters to see which one(s) caused my screen to dim. 3, 8 & 9 need to be disabled, else the screen goes dim.
I've just cleared the phone and play services data and now waiting to see if call screening appears..
Or do you think 3 and 9 need to be enabled?
It's not looking like the option is going to show..
I think 3 probably needs to be on.
Ok, I've enabled 3 just to see if it appears, just waiting to find out. Does it matter that I'm in the UK and it wouldn't normally appear if I had a pixel?
