Having HTC Wildfire and now want to change Default gmail account being used by all app, mostly Gtalk. I have 5 Gmail accounts on my cell and want to switch between.
The only way i see is to Factory reset phone. By this i guess i will loose all paid apps !
Is there anyone who can help me out without getting my phone Factory Reset !!
Any help will b greatly appreciated !~~
If I understand you correctly you want to delete some of yours accounts and change them...you can do this: go to your mail..press menu..more...Account list-here you can change your accounts
And if you want to delete them...when you change your account go again : mail..press menu..more...settings..at the end you have delete account.
Hope I halp...
Cheers
Oh yea if I halp click thanks.
I had this problem. Accidently signed in to a Gmail account that wasn't my main one, and it was locked to that as primary I'm sure there is something in the system you could delete to revoke the linked account, but the easiest way is to just do a factory reset and/or reflash the ROM.
No you won't lose paid apps, unless you did something silly and bought apps on more than one Google account! Purchases are always locked to that specific gmail address, wiping the phone doesn't matter as soon as u login to market you'll see all the Purchased Items in there, ready to download.
Edit: give me 24 hours, ill see if I can find a way to do it via ADB/DroidExplorer.

i bought a phone off the internet and it says enter password to unlock is there a master code so that i can get into it?
Is it MT4G? Also how do I know that you didn't steal the phone? There are ways to bypass logon password, sim password, pattern sig. Send me the proof that you bought it and ill tell you howto bypass. I don't really wanna help thief's or folks who found other peoples phone and don't want to return it.
I'd say not to help, because they would have contacted the seller for the password and also nobody would sell their phone without doing a complete wipe, which would have also removed their password. My bet is that it's stolen or that they bought a stolen phone, either way it was still someone's phone being stolen.
Ya man I had dev-hd2(leo1024) stolen last year on Dec2010. I even left the kid message and voicemail saying I would pay him 600 cash if he returned it. I have massive amount of data on it and it was fully customized by me. Most damage was business phone numbers which I lost and till today I don't have those contacts.

Do you have a google account? Your contacts should have synced to your google account, so you should still have them, just log in to Gmail on your computer.

This was on Win6.5.X 29XXX base and no google/tmob sync enabled. Other than Android none use it nor rely on it as it was my pure dev phone. Was at the bar with gf and lost it didn't even have gps or remote wipe installed as I left in hurry right after I flashed new COM build.
TmpUsr, T-Mobile even has a contact backup app. I rememebr my Shadow running 6.1 had that app. Either way, Backing up should be followed religiously
TmpUsr...did you check your tmobile my-account contact manager?
My contacts were backup up there without me even knowing!
I keep an app called Seek Droid for this occasion. If it gets lost or stolen I can enable GPS from my phone and track it down or even wipe the phone or SD card. Can also get recent call lists. Of course its pointless if they happen to find the program installed but its not listed in the menu so they would have to look for it to find it, which the average thief would not do.
UPDATE
My brother in law somehow managed to install ransomware on his sprint galaxy s7, me not knowing about removing it with safe mode went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. WELL now i know he forgot his gmail account and now I am dealing with Samsung's Factory Reset Protection, It was Very Frustrating to me not knowing this was the issue as I was under the impression that he knew his google account. So Currently I am trying to bypass this.
Does anyone know if he takes his device into the sprint store if they can verify it is his phone and lift this?
Is the only way to get it back is to either remember the account (how he forgot boggles my mind) or to do one of the bypass methods that have yet to be patched?
How do you restore the device? Will it work if the original Gmail account is used but with a new password or will it only work with the original Username and password?
It lets him set his gmail account and password but then it does the Verification Text which does not come through?
What Exactly is required to pass the Factory Reset Protection?
How do I resolve this issue?
Thanks for reading
this worked for me

I can't believe someone on XDA would recommend another to Youtube!!. Those videos are a bunch of scammers trying to get everyone to do surveys now. Total crap.
Actually... Most of the YouTube videos DO work.. if you want to avoid surveys and etc, they have a feature called "comments".
Actually, That is CRAP. Not true at all.

Hey, how did you end up resolving this? I have the same issue on my end.
Resolved FRP
I resolved it on EBAY. Make sure the seller has 100% positive feedback. Since others are steering people to garbage on Youtube, I don't see why I can't give true answers
Hello!,
Just recently purchased an unlocked S7 SM-G935F phone several weeks back, and got locked of the google account. I can't get password from google because I think the password was compromised. Google refuses to provide the password or reset it. So, my question is how can I modify this phone without having the developers tab tap 7 times get back to it's original firmware? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Sorry but you didn't give enough information.
First of all, if the phone is not yours, give it back to the owner or don't try to access data without passwords: it is illegal, though impossible too.
If it's your legitimate property you can reset your google password with the methods you configured. If you find no way suggested to recover your password you will have to contact directly google customer service and hope they will try to verify your identity and give you someway access to your data, and device too.
The thing of developer option it's not correlate to your problem, maybe you want to install a custom aoftware (rom, kernel etc) but you didn't say that. And anyway there are tons of guides which you maybe already read. If your device is locked there's no way to recover it without your google password. Don't try flash strange things you will brick it.

Nope, it's my phone. I purchased it several weeks ago as mentioned before. I have a receipt from Amazon as proof. I honestly got locked out of the phone and can't recall the exact password because I probably tossed it away. I've called google 4 times still no avail. I would like to install a custom rom if possible. Any other suggestions? Id be willing to donate a few bucs.

Then go back to the Amazon seller and ask him/her.
I'm sorry but if you write here on xda you will likely find people who know what is going on. And anyone would be suspicious if you're asking to bypass a security lock. There are 2 cases, one is that that ain't not your device, the other is that you're so dumb to lock a 700$ device with a password you don't remember saying bull****s like " the password was compromised " or, which is fantastic, " I called Google 4 times" like if they have a number to call to get Samsung assistance. I'm really happy theres no way to acces phone without correct psw, but if you want you can keep waisting your time.Mods please throw away this tief
You forgot or "lost" your Google password? This doesn't sound right.
Why not recover your Google password using their online system?
"I cant recall the password because I probably tossed it away"
Love the "probably". Can be hard to keep track of bulls***.
Make your mind up - find a lie and stick to it. Did you probably toss it away or is the password "compromised"?
Good luck trying to fool anyone in here to help you out with your "problem".
If it was legitimately yours, then you would've set up a fingerprint and not only a password, don't you think that would've been smart? That way you would've not been "locked out of phone". Emphasis on "If it was legitimately yours".
Smell test is clear...
Password was compromised, password was tossed away... sounds legit!
I've actually done what this guy has but I did it on a freshy right outta the box with me swing the first owner. However this does seem suspect I would help if I knew you were the first and only owner but seeing you're not I cant.
I'm in the same boat. My father-in-law somehow got his S7 edge locked and forgot his google password at the same time. He went to a Verizon store, but they only told him to recover via google. He shipped the phone to me to try and help him unlock it. Google password recovery is by 3 methods:
1) send a text to the phone. Of course this doesn't help because I can't unlock the phone. I hear the tone when the text comes in, but can't retrieve it
2) Sends a code to another email associated with the google account. He swears its his daughter's email address, but when we put that code in, google says it doesn't recognize her email as authorized
3) tell google what month & year the account was created. He can't remember that either
At this point, I'm willing to pay someone to fix it. I believe it has the newest Nougat firmware. I tried many suggestions from YouTube, but I can't even get to the menu where you connect to a wifi signal.
Anyone willing to help or just think I stole the phone like the previous guy?

Put the SIM into another phone and receive the SMS. Simple.

THANK YOU!. At least I made some progress. Now I find myself in an endless loop...the phone keeps saying "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device".
My father-in-law has 2 Google accounts. Having put his sim in my phone, I was able to reset passwords for both of these Google accounts, but the phone doesn't like either of them.
Any more suggestions?
Oh. Without the sim, I was finally prompted to connect to a wifi.
Is it possible that no Google account was synced with this device?

I've fixed (can now log in) two of my father-in-law's google accounts. Its just that the phone isn't recognizing either of them now. I don't know if he has a 3rd account of if it was possible to set up the phone without one. I'm on Verizon with an iPhone so I don't know anything about android or google.
Read that you have to wait 24 hours after changing Google password, so I'll try it again tonight.
the scotsman - You are my F*CKING hero! 24 hours after resetting the google password, the S7 edge recognizes it and is now unlocked. My father-in-law (& mother-in-law) thank you.

My mother sent me a S7 Edge from T-Mobile (SM-G935T) to give my aunt. I received it, removed my mother's e-mail from it, reseted to factory settings and after log-on, FRP popped in. It asked for a email previously configured, so i got my own again and worked just fine. Send it to my aunt that didn't knew how to configure a new email for her and i think she sent for some friends to try it. Everybody apparently got a e-mail there and tried to format, i have no further info about that. The problem is... She sent me the smartphone again and now i can't get passed FRP.
TL;DL: Can't get passed FRP.
FRP lock = To prevent stolen phones to be used. Log in to the Google account you used before wiping.
@Eric1084, the think is that my account is no longer able to log in cause the device was sent to multiple persons that tried and got their account there.

You should contact the people you've given access to the phone, and ask whether they forgot to remove their account from the device prior to wiping it. You can ask them to temporarily change their Google account password, so you can log in and remove their account. Any other solution will be attempting to circumvent Samsung's safety measure to prevent stolen phones from being activated/used.
