Recover J1 with forgotten Google account (without PC) - Samsung Galaxy J Guides, News, & Discussion

If your J1 phone got reset, and you have forgotten the Google account that was used on that phone. Follow those instructions. I haven't tried them myself, yet a friend uaed them to recover a phone. I hope he didn't miss telling me a detail.
* Will need to download Quick shortcut maker (from Google Playstore) on an SD card
* Do not put the SIM card in the phone, instead connect to the internet using hotspot from another phone.
* Start the J1 phone.
* Disable the hotspot on the other phone as soon as the J1 starts searching for software updates.
* You shall be prompted to configure the locking pattern, configure it and restart the phone.
* Lock the screen, then open the camera from the locked screen.
Take a photo and share it via Gmail app.
* Tap "See more" it should be at the top of the app., select the internet browser app (DO NOT SELECT CHROME)
* Select download history, then install Quick shortcut maker (or Activity launcher) and start it.
* Select Google account manager app, username/password activity
* tap Try and enter username & password of your Google account.
* If the login is successful, restart the J1
Note: Activity launcher (from FDroid) can be used instead of quick shortcut maker, but this has not been tested.hese instructions are for those who have reset their J1 phones, yet have forgotten the Google account that is need to activate the phone. I haven't tried thoae steps by myself.

X8 Stock apps that can be removed

Hi all,
I thought I would start a thread to determine, based on users' experience, what stock apps can (and cannot) be removed. Of course this concerns those with a rooted phone (on Android 2.1 in my case), who use Titanium Backup to remove useless stuff (of course "useless" is very much a personal preference and will vary from user to another...).
I started by removing the following:
- The games (Crazypenguin, Towerbloxx, CA Gold...)
- User guide
- Support notes (or whatever it's called?)
- SIM Toolkit 2.1 (didn't seem to do anything)
- Roadsync (I just stick with gmail)
- Timescape
I personally like to minimise clutter, simplify the menus and make room for useful apps. I will continue testing and see what else can safely be removed, but your experiences would be interesting to hear about - please share and we can compile a list.
Tony
Updated list, no reported problems (in progress
- The games (Crazypenguin, Towerbloxx, CA Gold...)
- User guide
- Support notes (or whatever it's called?)
- SIM Toolkit 2.1 (didn't seem to do anything)
- Roadsync (I just stick with gmail)
- Timescape
- Wisepilot
- TrackID
- Backupandrestore
- SEMCSetupWizard
- Email
- PlayNow (appinstaller, client, etc)
- Facebook
- Remove /data/dop.iso" it won't ask you any more if you want to install PC Companion connecting via USB (13MB of free space ) - Thanks Inge Morath
- Youtube
Things NOT to remove (in progress); you will possibly get the "com.google.process.gapps process has stopped running" message or other errors/dysfunctional phone
- gmail
- gtalk
- Market
- Customizedsettings
- Omadatasyncservice (Thanks Hansz73)
Ambiguous
- Anything else Google related (have not tested removing gmaps, navigation, places, calendar, latitude, geotags, for example)
- Anything that says "sync" (apart from roadsync); once again, seems risky, I seem to have removed some sony ericsson sync things with no apparent problems, although when I carried on I eventually ran into the "com.google.process.gapps" error. Need to figure out which an which cannot be removed!
I assume (but have NOT tested) the following would be fine to remove:
- Calculator
- Alarm
- Stopwatch
- Timer
- Music player (will other music apps still work?)
- FM radio
- Video (will other video apps still work?)
- Postcard (latest 2.1)
- OfficeSuite (latest 2.1)
Hello,
thanks for starting this topic,
I removed games, SIM toolkit & Roadsync with Root Uninstaller.
I'm not sure about disabling User guide, notes & Timescape because there are sometimes multiple parts like Timescape, Timescape provider & Timescape plugin.
Same thing for backup & restore, SE sync (& assistant), Google talk (& service & storage), Sync, voice search, configuration guide, installation assistant, email (NOT gMail).
Sorry for my bad english I'm French not sure about translations
SE Xperia X8 FR ROOT Jit-Link2SD-xRecovery
As far as i know you need google talk to enter properly to the market.
I uninstalled:
Musik
geotag.apk
EManual.apk
EManualLauncher.apk
playnowappinstaller.apk
playnowback.apk
playnowclient.apk
Sync.apk
backupandrestore.apk

Wisepilot
Track ID
PlayNow

I removed Sync, the same as you did.
But then I got an error syncing contacts from Gmail.
It said sth about gapps stopped working, so I had to restore my ROM.
Apps that I deleted:
-RoadSync
-Wisepilot
-Games
-Facebook
-Youtube
@clonn
I just tried to sync my contacts n calendar google gmail, no problem here.
Did u remove googleapps.apk by any chance?
x8 + xrecovery_jit_link2sd
I don't think so.
I just removed Sync, and after that I got an error with syncing my contacts and gmail .
Don't know what I did wrong, but now everything's working (restored and didn't remove sync).
Strange, for me both auto and manual sync still work without that sync.apk. Anyway, I'd updated my post above.
So what applications can we remove safely at last?
I ask, cause i've removed timescape,gmail,maps,latitude,geotags,talk,places and navigation(most of them are google apps) and i think that some of them (maybe timescape) are responsible of com.google.process.gapps attention message.. Any ideas for it?
don't delete talk cause is link to market. if you delete talk you'll never be able to download apps from market on the phone or newly from web
let's make a list of app that can be removed without any problem. PLEASE COPY MY POST AND ADD APP
-WISEPILOT
-GAMES
-ROADSYNC
-TRACKID
-TIMESCAPE
I have uninstalled a bunch of them with titanium (after I backed them all up) and after restarting the phone it still shows the same free space as before:
internal 222mb(109 free)
is that normal???
thanks
I've had that error too. Removing RoadSync is fine, but I removed quite a few "sync" apps last night and got the gmail gapps process error.
So be careful with the "Sync" apps!

Can anyone else confirm?
I want show which apps is save to remove.
I use only these stock apps:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
and others apps I removed, because I dont use it anymore.
Warning!
After erasing stock apps (all apps which not show above) I cant use anymore:
service update (cant check if available update) (removes menu bar too)
cant change gmail acc (gmail still works via app) and cant change/delete other acc because sync menu is not visible any more (gtalk I dont use and cant confirm it works or not)
SE menu bar is not visible (f.e. APN I can set manualy via mobile networks option)
+
Search menu in not visible
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
And I think all apps except system apps can be removed without problems (in list above I use it) like timer, trackid and etc.
First please make backup via xRecovery!
Enjoy 110MB+ Free RAM!!!!!
Confirmed, u need SetupWizard.apk if you need to add new gmail account. I just tested it.

google authenticator

have recently bought note 2
was using s3before
the codes set up on S dont work on notes
Have disabled 2 step verification on my Web Google account. On the device I've cleared Data but still my previous accounts are present and new generated codes don't work
Each time I have to call codes thru sms
Can some 1 Pl help
Shaswat
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
1 disable 2 step verification on google account.
2. run google authenticator, tap and hold displayed code, select remove.
Next enable 2 step verification on google account and set google authenticator
Go to the 2-step-verification home page.
Under "How to receive codes" you have your current phone listed under Mobile Application.
Click Edit.
Rather than picking Phone Model and moving on, instead select "Set up a different phone" and follow the instructions.
It generates a new secret, which you'll need to enter into all devices you want to use Google Authenticator on.
The old secret is invalidated, so you need to remove the old secret from your original device.
You do this in the Google Authenticator application by long-tapping (Android) on your account and the 6-digit PIN, this gives you the option to "delete" the key.

How to get the android setup screen?

Hi friends,
My room-mate bought Nexus 4 and in excitement he skipped the steps where we have to enter details about us like our name (to whom phone belongs, email address and etc). When we were to trying to install anything from playstore, he entered his email ID and installed tons of apps. Now is it possible to enter the details we skipped?
I suggested to reset the phone, but that'll erase all the applications and it will be a lot of work
These pages are in order I think...
1) Setup Wi-Fi
2) Sign in to Google account
3) location services
4) Setup date and time
5) Phone name
A) Wi-Fi can be setup via settings-Wi-Fi
B) done
C) settings-location services
D) settings-date and time
E) goto people at the top you can add your self as a contact/me
Hope this helps.
EDIT : DO NOT USE THIS INFO
though it takes you through the setup wizard, it breaks all notifications afterwards
Code:
Download apex launcher temporarily.
Long hold on home screen to bring up menu
Choose shortcut > activity > setup wizard > setup wizard (setup wizard test activity)
It will put a shortcut on the home screen and pressing it will fire up the wizard.
Once complete you can uninstall apex

Samsung Account Processing failed

Hello I've had my s5 for about 8 months I just recently did a hard reset so like any other new cell it asks for a Google account and a Samsung account if you have one...
Well I put Google account and everything is OK.. By the time I punch in my details for the Samsung account it says processing failed. I know it's not my details because I have 1 other Samsung s5mini and has the same I'd and password.
It's basically a paperweight right now it won't let me get passes the 3rd screen (Samsung account loggin)
Please help
I am having the same problem as well. I bought my phone from someone else over a year ago so I am not sure if it wants their account or what. The crazy thing is that if I use an incorrect password it says invalid password, but when I enter the right one I get processing failed. Not sure what to do, can't Odin older firmware
Check youtube for "Bypass Galaxy S5 reactivation lock"
same thing here. when i use the right password says, processing failed. when i use wrong one, it says, wrong password
pain in the butt this thing.
Samsung account username/password (test - validation) this is easy to be performed by a computer logging at Samsung website.
Customer support of Samsung this is amazing, if you contact them.
In case that you do log-in normally in your Samsung account over the web, and when you do that from your phone this Fail, then something is heavily wrong, and also Samsung customer support them will hold the answers about that too.
Check Samsung Account app permission ... grant everything and try again
I spent the last 6 hours on this, but I'm finally up and running. Forgot that reset your pw and wait 24 hours BS. The problem is the older devices don't recognize the 2-factor authentication, which means you have to sneak in the backdoor and turn it on. No need to call 911 either - leave those lines open for real emergencies! Here's the step by step, (assuming I haven't forgotten anything).
1. On login page, select the microphone button. This will take you to keyboard options. Select "set hot keys" and type any text in the field.
2. Highlight the text and tap to select Google Assist. On the menu that pops up, hit the share icon and then Google Drive.
3. Okay, this is the part I'm blanking on, so good luck! Somehow from here, I was able to access an address bar. I suggest clicking around until something pops up.
4. Once you get to an address bar, type in "Quick Shortcut Maker" and install and open the app. This app creates shortcuts to various applications on your device.
5. In the app, select Applications and scroll to "Settings." Voila! You just snuck in the back door. Interestingly, I was able to access all kinds of applications this way - NOT VERY SECURE SAMSUNG!!
6. The irony of this next step will blow your mind. Head over to the "backup and reset" menu and select factory reset. I know, you're probably thinking, "this is how I got here in the first place." That's what makes this SO funny.
7. Before you can perform a factory reset, Samsung asks you to verify your pw. Go ahead and enter it again. You will magically end up behind the curtain where you are prompted to enable 2-FA on your phone. Yay! And now you are logged in.
8. Before restarting go to the "accounts" menu in settings and view and verify your profile info associated with the Samsung account. I went ahead and entered my phone number here just in case that mattered.
9. I did all of the steps above with the sim card out. It still didn't work at this point, but after reloading the sim card, I am back in business!!

FRP BYPASS w/o OTG or ODIN!! On ANY Samsung device! You're Welcome!!!

Okay, so browsing the www I came across this article of a guy bypassing the FRP on his S7 edge... I was trying to find a working method for the T-MOBILE TAB E (sm-t377t) so I tried what the instructions said and FINALLY! I was able to get through... This should work on any model of samsung phones that have the FRP but since I cannot test all the other devices Samsung has created I can only vouch for the Tab E.
Here is the whole list of instructions for S7 edge.... My notes on what I did are after step 7 because step 8 didn't work for me.... But yeah I only had to get to step 7 to get past the lock. Keep this on the dl tho or Samsung is going to come out with a new update to block even this trick...... ENJOY
Steps to Bypass Factory Reset Protection on Galaxy S7/S7 Edge
Step 1. After factory resetting your device when you Reboot your device, you would see the Setup Wizard to login into the previously synced Google account.
Step 2. Select your Language and the press on Next. This will bring the screen for WIFI connection. Connect to a portable hotspot that can be quickly turned off. You may connect to your WIFI router but keep in mind you should have easy and quick access to turn it off as we will be required to turn off the WIFI/Internet access to the device.
Step 3. After connecting it to a WIFI router/hotspot, click Next. Now you will have to close/turn off the WIFI router/ hotspot connection as soon as you see the Software Update screen saying Checking for Updates.
Step 4. As you turn off the hotspot you will see couldn’t Sign In message. Now click Next, you will see the options for setting Date and Time. At this point turn back On the WIFI router or the hotspot connection.
Step 5. Now skip through all the screens until you reach the screen saying Google Services. Scroll down, and tap on the blue text saying Google Terms of Services. This will open a popup with the Terms and Conditions.
Step 6. Select some text in the popup by holding on the screen. After selecting the text, you should see some options like Copy , Share etc. Click on the Share button. This will open a menu which says Setup Wizard.
Step 7. Now hold on to the icon of Samsung Setup Wizard. This will open the Application info for the Samsung Setup Wizard. Tap on Data Usage > UPGRADE DATA SERVICE.
MY NOTES ^^^^That part didn't work for me, it still said I was locked out...-------->>>>>
This step did not work due to security reasons. I cleared cache, plugged in OEM cable, and scrolled down from notification bar and turned off the wifi again and then clicked on settings. (Not sure if OEM cable had any effect on the tablet but I was still able to access settings.) In the settings menu, not all the options were available but there was an option to add a user. Added a user, input name and hit next. Samsung login screen pops up, logged in with my samsung account, hit next, and continued to the new user page. At the new user page I clicked on settings, enabled USB debugging and Unknown Sources and attempted to do a factory reset from the Backup and Settings tab, however it was not available for the added user. I proceeded to switch from the new user account that I made to the original (OWNER) account that was there. I was allowed to switch and was asked to sign into Samsung again. Signed in and proceeded to home screen. From here I was able to reset everything from the device. It restarted and I was able to login as if it were a brand new device.
Step 8. This will open a menu asking you to chose the application to Open With. Select Chrome browser. Once Chrome browser opens skip through the process and then open Rootjunkysdl.com using the address bar.
Step 9. Once this website opens, tap on Apps and look for ‘com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk’. Download this application to your device .
Step 10. Now open Google.com on Chrome and search for Samsung App Store. Tap on the first link that appears in the search results, this should open the Samsung app store. Scroll down a little and tap on the icon saying Samsung Galaxy Apps. This should open the Galaxy apps application on your phone.
Step 11. Once you have Galaxy Apps application running tap on the More option at the top right corner of the screen and then tap on Sign In. Then Sign In using your Samsung account or create a new one if you don’t have one.
Step 12. Now search for the ‘file explorer” using the search bar and install any one of them. Once installed open the file explorer application.
Step 13. In the File explorer, open the Downloads folder and install the Quick Shortcut Maker application that you downloaded earlier. You may have to allow installation of applications from Unknown sources.
Step 14. Once the application is installed tap the Open button. In the application perform a search for Google Account Manager, you will see various result tap the one that says Type Email and Password and then hit the Try button.
Step 15. This would open the activity for typing the Password. Tap on the three dotted menu button at the top right corner of the screen and select Browser Sign-In.
Step 16. Sign In using any Google account you want to use and wait a few seconds. After you are Signed in Quick shortcut maker application will reappear. Now just keep tapping the back key until you reach the Google Services screen once again.
Step 17. Now press Next on the Google Services screen. Keep tapping Next until you see the screen saying Account added.
Step 18. Skip through all other screens and tap the Home button. If the home screen doesn’t appear for you then perform a Reboot.

unfortunately the online suggested method when using realterm isnt working for my unlocked s8, keep getting a NO CARRIER error when sending the commands. Im using Straight Talk so maybe thats an issue but I cant find anymore help on this subject and very frustrating that my $600 phone is a paperweight at the moment. Damnit, Im just not good with this stuff, lol.

MY NOTES ^^^^That part didn't work for me, it still said I was locked out...-------->>>>>
This step did not work due to security reasons. I cleared cache, plugged in OEM cable, and scrolled down from notification bar and turned off the wifi again and then clicked on settings. (Not sure if OEM cable had any effect on the tablet but I was still able to access settings.) In the settings menu, not all the options were available but there was an option to add a user. Added a user, input name and hit next. Samsung login screen pops up, logged in with my samsung account, hit next, and continued to the new user page. At the new user page I clicked on settings, enabled USB debugging and Unknown Sources and attempted to do a factory reset from the Backup and Settings tab, however it was not available for the added user. I proceeded to switch from the new user account that I made to the original (OWNER) account that was there. I was allowed to switch and was asked to sign into Samsung again. Signed in and proceeded to home screen. From here I was able to reset everything from the device. It restarted and I was able to login as if it were a brand new device.
Step 8. This will open a menu asking you to chose the application to Open With. Select Chrome browser. Once Chrome browser opens skip through the process and then open Rootjunkysdl.com using the address bar.
Step 9. Once this website opens, tap on Apps and look for ‘com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk’. Download this application to your device .
Step 10. Now open Google.com on Chrome and search for Samsung App Store. Tap on the first link that appears in the search results, this should open the Samsung app store. Scroll down a little and tap on the icon saying Samsung Galaxy Apps. This should open the Galaxy apps application on your phone.
Step 11. Once you have Galaxy Apps application running tap on the More option at the top right corner of the screen and then tap on Sign In. Then Sign In using your Samsung account or create a new one if you don’t have one.
Step 12. Now search for the ‘file explorer” using the search bar and install any one of them. Once installed open the file explorer application.
Step 13. In the File explorer, open the Downloads folder and install the Quick Shortcut Maker application that you downloaded earlier. You may have to allow installation of applications from Unknown sources.
Step 14. Once the application is installed tap the Open button. In the application perform a search for Google Account Manager, you will see various result tap the one that says Type Email and Password and then hit the Try button.
Step 15. This would open the activity for typing the Password. Tap on the three dotted menu button at the top right corner of the screen and select Browser Sign-In.
Step 16. Sign In using any Google account you want to use and wait a few seconds. After you are Signed in Quick shortcut maker application will reappear. Now just keep tapping the back key until you reach the Google Services screen once again.
Step 17. Now press Next on the Google Services screen. Keep tapping Next until you see the screen saying Account added.
Step 18. Skip through all other screens and tap the Home button. If the home screen doesn’t appear for you then perform a Reboot.

I have not seen a single phone with OS 7 or above (or even 6.0) that this "share" option is viable at all.

It doesn't work on this galaxy J3 luna pro either. I can get in but then the dialer has been changed. Must be a really recent security patch
New Method, Inspired by this One
Just did it on my SM-G360T1 Android 5.1.1 [Build AQD1] Only this is new method~!
---Same Steps, until #4!!!---
Step 1. After factory resetting your device when you Reboot your device, you would see the Setup Wizard to login into the previously synced Google account.
Step 2. Select your Language and the press on Next. This will bring the screen for WIFI connection. Connect to a portable hotspot that can be quickly turned off. You may connect to your WIFI router but keep in mind you should have easy and quick access to turn it off as we will be required to turn off the WIFI/Internet access to the device.
Step 3. After connecting it to a WIFI router/hotspot, click Next. Now you will have to close/turn off the WIFI router/ hotspot connection as soon as you see the Software Update screen saying Checking for Updates.
Step 4. As you turn off the hotspot you will see couldn’t Sign In message. Now click Next, you will see the options for setting Date and Time. At this point turn back On the WIFI router or the hotspot connection.
STEP 5. Make sure to Create a PIN lock for phone when prompted!
Step 6. Hit power Key, lock phone, and Hit Power again to bring up LOCK SCREEN! PHONE ACCESS!
Step 7. Drag phone icon from lower left to center, then type in PIN
Step 8. Dial Number, add to contacts, make sure contact has a website~! Go back to phone, go to Contacts click on new Contact you made, and open website with Chrome!
---from this point, more pertains to my G360T1 running Android 5.1.1---
Step 9. Go to http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps/FRP
Step 10. Download and install 5.apk (Android_5_Google_Account_Manager.apk didn't work for me, but 5.apk did)
-If you have a different android version, make sure to use the right one~!
Step 11. Download and install com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk run it after install.
Make sure to hit the three dots in the upper right hand corner when the app opens, and do browser sign in.
Now sign in with your Google account...
Viola~! Back out of everything, and just go through startup like Normal~!
Now go to Settings, Backup & Reset, Factory Data Reset, Done~!
