s15274n strikes again with the goods...i would hit the thanks button but it says i'm limited to 5....
but thanks for the head up
EDIT: is it even ready yet?? will it let you sign in...cuz it wont let me

Ikr lol i love it
And yeah signing in a problem too it says invalid something

It will go live very soon. Some can, some can't.
Beautiful though. Good sign of things to come.

Anyone else get "Invalid Request" after trying to sign in? It looks like a site error rather than a browser one. I get the same message from multiple browsers.

i got that from the main page, but then i clicked on an app to dl and it sent me to an actual login page. i didn't login cause i didn't actually want to dl the app, i was just checking, so it might work that way.

This is nice!

good find had no trouble signing in.

Very exciting!!

Tried again. Working now. Might have been the traffic / popularity of the site.

Not sure if you guys watched the honeycomb announcement, but it was amazing. Made me want a tablet, and donkey punch an ipad user.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?

The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!

You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.

Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.

Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.
*NOT on wifi but WIFI ONLY

Awesome! I just browsed Gun Bros on the market, watched the Youtube video on it, and installed it without ever taking my phone out of my pocket.

Hmm... I just got back to my pc and tried to install. I am on Flagship and it didnt give me a notification, and its not showing under My Apps.... maybe the developers need to modify the build.prop?

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.

yes, you can install an app, but not it will not activate without having it already configured
AntiDroidTheft is a very good one
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.antidroidtheft
and then you can find your phone online
http://www.antidroidtheft.com/
unfortunately for it and all other similar software to work, you will need to have had it pre-installed and configured
Anti DT requires the least config to work
if you have a smart Coder friend, maybe he can upload a new version of this App modified to install and start automatically with a predefined secret password
then you install it from the new Android Market
and it will install and activate itself on its own, and you might have a chance at finding your phone, and trace it to where the guy live

will tmobile be able to help at all if i call them because none of my frienda would be able to make that program. thanks though please any ideas

You can download this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.gtmedia.findMyPhone remotely to your phone.
Then send a SMS to your phone with the secret code and command. The default secret code is 1234.
List of commands:
1234 help
1234 locate
1234 alarm
1234 wipe (wipe sd card is not set by default)
1234 calls
Unless your gps is on, the location of your phone isn't going to be accurate. Just hope that if a person did steal the phone, they won't be removing the app. Since when the phone receives the message, it will play the ringtone and notifications will pop up.

hmm... interesting
trying that as we speak to see if it works

hmm... the app is no longer supported, they are forwarding people to a PAID app instead

whhat is the name of the new app?
Also how do i know what the code is if i dont have my phone?

I'm only asking because you didn't mention it specifically, but did you try the simplest method first of calling you're own number and seeing if someone answers? Also, send a text message to the phone saying please call me.
You said "seems like" someone took it. Maybe you dropped it or left it and an honest person has it and will gladly return it. Worth a shot if you haven't yet.

ya i did do both those thigns.
i just need to know if there is a way to remotely locate it because find my phone owuld have been perfect but it doenst work anymore

No longer supported but still works. The app doesn't depend on a server or anything, just the phone.

Like I said, the default code is 1234. Just use 1234 as the code. If you want to change the code, then I can't help you with that.

Did you actually try it yet? It works for me. I tested it.
Go to the market and have it remotely downloaded onto your phone. Then send the phone commands.
If you can't get the app (or any other app) downloaded onto your phone for whatever reason, then of course this won't work or any other method that I can think of.
I wouldn't be suggesting it if it didn't work. What's the point in doing that? I got nothing to gain from it.

I'll confirm this works. I just went to the link you provided earlier on my CR-48, then told the Market to install it to my phone which is across the room from me.
I waited a few minutes, then used my Google Voice web account to send the "1234 Locate" to my phone. A few seconds later I heard a text message arrive on the phone. A few seconds later I got a text message back from the phone that said my location would be determined in under 5 minutes, and then about a minute later I got another message from the phone that was the latitude and longitude of the phone, and then another link with a link that opened Google Maps on my laptop to right where my phone is.
AWESOME.
I've got WaveSucure & MobileDefense both on my phones, and this is simpler and easier than either of those. Good find.
The only negative here is that on my other two phones when I tried to install it on them, the Market told me that I hadn't logged into the Market on those phones in a while and that I would have to open the Market on those phones before I could remotely install. I'd have been screwed on those phones.

if you can't locate your phone after a few days
report the IMEI # as stolen so they can block it, and make the phone useless for resale

[TUT] Bypass All LG Lock Google account "Verify your account'

Bypass All LG Verify your account (LG Google Factory Reset Protection ) on Android OS 5.1.x
Download and copy file APK Shortcutmaker to MTP or USB OTG
http://vietfones.vn/forum/showthread.php?1037877

Was the file you needed on the thing you plugged in? Is that why you plugged it in or was that an unnecessary step?

Not sure this goes along with the rules on XDA and security in general. There is a reason you no longer have access to a device. We can't and should not take the risk and guess what that reason might be. At all times we should assume an unauthorized access attempt. Especially in this case. Reported (under reserve).

A genious o.o

would have been helpful when i got my new phone, cleaned google account, changed pw, factory reset phone. 72 hour lock!
but.... yeah. much more helpful for phone theft than regular users.

Shortcut to Settings
First, thanks to vn_mobile for sharing.
Second, here's a quicker way
Install Quick Shortcut by OTG as per the OP
Then search for "reset"
Select Settings, MasterClearActivity, Try
Reset Phone
Done!!

Great, I now can make a list of XDA members I know are morons. Let's hope they also have social media info in their profiles.

Maybe because this Exploit has been fixed and Google won`t let you bypass the FRP like that forever. It never worked on ALL devices.

this just happened to me on my htc m9. i changed my password sunday. reset my device and im like WTF? im done with google, this feature should be duely noted to consumers and in the literature. im taking my paperweight m9 back to tmobile and getting an iphone. i don't mind security but this is too much.

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Tracfone LGL83BL

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Tracfone LGL83BL
This phone was hard at first to figure out due to certain areas being framed in for me for whatever reason. However after Hard Resetting a few times I was able to get where i wanted to start. This tutorial is based off a handful of methods from research I did. It works perfect for this model. There is no hardware methods so this must be done manually.
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple. I suck at videos but maybe I will get around to making some eventually one day.
Steps
1. HARD RESET your phone. Make sure you do this before starting the next step.
2. Connect to wifi and go back to the start and get into accessibility mode. Enable Global Context Menu by making an L shape on the screen. Goto TalkBack Settings. Once you are in press both volume keys to suspend Talkback. Scroll down to the bottom and select Help and Feedback. Click on where it says About Switch Access for Android (if this is framed in a window then hard reset and restart again). This should take you to the Help section with About Switch Access for Android at the top with a youtube video at the bottom.
3. Click the youtube video and click the share button (arrow at the top right). This should show you a box with the link highlighted. Double tap this to open up YouTube. Once youtube is opened click the share button at the top right once again and this time you will be presented with where to share to. Click on Gmail. At this point pause and create a hotmail account on another device or use one of your own if you have it handy. Yahoo did not work for me so I stuck with hotmail. Forward on into gmail and select hotmail, fill out the information, and forward on until it says Take Me To Gmail at the bottom. Click this and then click the top right 3 dots and goto settings. Click the top 3 dots again then click manage accounts. You should be in settings now.
4. Scroll down to Fingerprints and Security and click this. Goto Phone Administration and disable Android Device Manager. Next goto Apps section of Settings. Click top right 3 dots and select show all apps. Scroll down to Setup Wizard, you should see 2. Disable/Force stop and clear cache/data on both. Now scroll up to Google Account Manager and repeat previous process then onto Google Play Service doing the same. Restart your phone.
5. Suspend TalkBack by pressing both up/down volume buttons and go forward in settings until you get to wifi. Disable wifi. Follow through until you get to the EULA. Scroll down in this box until you see the Heading OptOut. This next part can be a little tricky. Tap on where it says [email protected]. A box should pop up at the bottom if it doesn't double click or click and hold. I had to double tap the area and hold before it would appear. In this box click Gmail and when prompted enable Google Play Services. After this you should arrive back where you were at OptOut section of the EULA. Tap the email again and it will take you into Gmail. Click the top right 3 dots as you did before, repeat earlier process again, and get into Settings. Go back to Fingerprints and Security and enable Unknown Sources. Next turn on wifi.
6. Go back on settings then goto Apps. Scroll down to YouTube and click it. Click Notifications then click the top right icon ( i ). Next click About then click on Google Privacy Policy and forward into the browser. Now you are going to download some apps and install them. Download these 3 apps and install/open each during the process. The apps are Sidebar / Quick Shortcut Maker / Shortcut Master Lite. Open up Sidebar by using two fingers and swiping over from the left side of the screen. Once it slides into view add all 3 apps except for sidebar to it and also add Settings. If you want to pause here and pick up later thats fine as sidebar will be able to be used even if the phone is rebooted.
7. Now click on settings and goto Apps, tap 3 dots, select show system apps and now you are going to Disable/Force Stop and clear cache/data of all these apps. Google App / Google Backup Transport / Google Calender Sync / Google Contacts Sync / Google Drive Promotion / Google One Time Init / Google Partner Setup / Google Play Services / Google Play Store / Google Services Framework / Google Text-To-Speech Engine / Setup Wizard (both).
8. Now pull into view the Sidebar and click on Shortcut Master Lite. Click on the top right 3 dots and click search. Type Setup Wizard into the bottom search field and click search. Now click on the first Setup Wizard link that shows. com.android.LGSetupWizard.SetupHomeInit and click launch.
9. You should be back at the setup screen. Forward through until you get to wifi and shut it off.
10. Now comes the last but fun part. We are going to crash the Setup Wizard. Go back to the start screen of the setup wizard and repeadtly go forward and back until the app crashes and do this until you see the home screen (remind you of iphone glitches? ha) it WILL work just have to do it many times. Once you get to the home screen, go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.
EDIT:
Here are easier more precise instructions for this last step:
Press [ARROW ICON]
Next [SKIP]
Then [NEXT]
Press [SKIP ANYWAY]
Then tap 3-4 times quickly on [BACK KEY] where you should end up on "Welcome Screen"
Repeat the above steps another time or 2 if it has not worked yet. It will! Sometimes it takes a try or two!
Alternative to Step 10. Click on quickshortcut maker from your sidebar and scroll down until you see Home and click it. You should now be past the setup wizard and onto your Home Screen. Not done just yet. Click on Shortcutmaster Lite and it will bring you to your Home Screen. Now you are officially past everything. (Pretty sure this method doesn't work for the LGL83BL but I figured I would mention it incase it just didn't work for me for w/e reason). Go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.

Also works on: LG Aristo MS210, (more to add soon)

how many times?
I have tried several times and nothing happens and my phone is exactly Tracfone LGL83BL I hope you make a video soon

It's trial and error. Just keep going back and fourth quickly and eventually it will work. You've got to be quick about it in order for it to work.

hey man, I made an account just to get help from you. I have the same problem as the guy before. Ive done all the steps correctly and got to the very last part about crashing the setup wizard. I have done it very quickly many many times and nothing seems to work. And even when it does "crash" it just opens right back up ;/

I will try to get a video up showing you what I am doing. There is pretty much nothing to it. You push forward till it errors hit ok. Go back then forward, hit ok, go back and forward. Even try going back to the beginning then all the way forward. Go back and forward through different pages of the setup wizard. Trial and error. This DOES work. Trust me. I have used it to bypass multiple LG devices so far.

Still have been too busy to edit the video and get it online. Here is another approach that *should* work. Just try pushing forward as fast as you can until you hit the error then hit ok and keep going forward. Do it quickly.

I don't have it online. I have been far to busy so I've not had the time to get around to editing it. The method is pretty simple. You shouldn't really need the video but again I understand everyone learns differently. I have noticed there are some similar ways as mine on youtube so you might find something there. In order for mine to go up I have to 1) edit 2) add sound 3) add watermark and ad's and then get it up on a youtube channel of mine I haven't entirely finished. I would just post it but I want to get the most out of my videos when i can.
Which part are you stuck on? Maybe I can help you some.

I understand completely and thanks for you're reply.
I have downloaded the LG bypass tool.exe and when I put the phone into download mode and select phone that I have nothing starts. Then I have tried the other method which is getting to a browser on the phone through the privacy statement then searching for and downloading the bypass tool straight to the phone and then I cannot find the downloaded file on the phone to extract & run it.
I'm no expert at this sort of thing but I know a little bit. Do you think rooting the device would bypass it or a new SIM card. What should I try next bc in really kinda stuck now that all info I've tried had failed or doesn't work for the LG stylo LS-777.
Thanks

You will end up doing more than just running a file to bypass it. You will have to kill running processes etc then crash the Setup Wizard. You won't be able to root it because you can't get USB Debugging enabled. New sim card won't do anything either. If you follow my method i'm sure you will bypass it. =]

Thanks will try it. Do you have an idea when your video will be ready?

Not too sure. I haven't had a while free from work yet.

So before.... long before I do this, I would like to verify that you bypassed the FRP and were able to get /su? if so we could really use some photos from your (yet to be released video) as verification... if so this is amazing but man that's a lot of steps for something to go wrong. I'm really wanting to try it. 75% of my rooting has been done on Samsung which thanks to chainfire was literally "1 click" that came sometime after the whole adb shell push /su and that good good stuff. I'll wait for your reply before I take the plunge.. its my only device as of right now so I really don't want to screw this one up rofl. Anyways thanks so much!

Stuck
I have the metro pcs version of the stylo3 (lgms450) and I'm having a very difficult time bypassing the frp. So far, your method had gotten me further than any other but I'm stuck at the eula page. The email address is not, does not and will not highlight nor will any box appear at the bottom no matter how many times or the configuration of me pressing on that email address. I get a little haptic feedback but nothing else. Any ideas?

I understand completely and thanks for you're reply.
I have downloaded the LG bypass tool.exe and when I put the phone into download mode and select phone that I have nothing starts. Then I have tried the other method which is getting to a browser on the phone through the privacy statement then searching for and downloading the bypass tool straight to the phone and then I cannot find the downloaded file on the phone to extract & run it.
I'm no expert at this sort of thing but I know a little bit. Do you think rooting the device would bypass it or a new SIM card. What should I try next bc in really kinda stuck now that all info I've tried had failed or doesn't work for the LG stylo LS-777.
Thanks

Well FRP and Superuser, rooting and what not are all different things. What we are trying to accomplish here is FRP Removal via manual method not needing root on the device. I will release the video within a few days. Don't laugh at the quality as it was done with another phone and didn't really think it would take on enough for me to put online so I didn't go for professionalism. Hey it works though and you might have to pause time to time as i go through quickly at times but you will see.
This method hasn't screwed anything up for me so far and the way it is done really in theory shouldn't. Any mess simply factory reset and it is ready again. If that fails you can flash the firmware and all will be well.

Hmm. I need to try to get ahold of that model and try a few things. All my stylos went out to customers. I might have some ideas on how to get you around all of that. Just need to test them on something similar. Have one in mind, if a friend still has it i will take a look.

@kryste1 Thank you! I figured a straight through text tutorial might help better as some of these videos are hard to understand for a lot of reasons.

Locksceen PIN Bug!!! ON ESSENTIAL!!!

I have been updated to android ten and now the lock screen will revert back to the lock screen every time you put in the pin even if its correct. I seen the pixel is having the problem also. Ive tried to change to a password instead of the in and it wont let me change it because it asks for the pin to change it and does the same thing and if you twice it crashes settings app. I went to turn oem unlock bootloader in case it turned off and couldn't get back in and it wont even let me turn oem unlock on because it ask for a pin and then does the same thing then setting app crashes. Is anyone experiencing this and what is the work around?

Not a real solution, but it appears you can add a new user and still use the phone while you wait for a real fix from Google/Essential.

Another post early in thread suggests resetting the phone in recovery, of course you will lose your apps and user data.

So I had been on Android 10 since it came out everything worked fine until yesterday was trying to put in my pin, and it would do what I explained. I didn't think anything of it until I seen the article about the pixel and then I knew it was the same bug. This almost has to be a server side change because my phone was fine until yesterday. I tried everything I could find to fix it and it will not let you change the user on essential. Ultimately I did reset in recovery because the phone isn't functional after this bug hits.

Any chance that your phone automatically did an OTA update just before having this problem? There's a small hotfix that just released.

Which hotfix? Released when? Any info on it? Essential website doesn't have any new builds/updates. Update check in Settings also doesn't find anything...

same here, I guess he means the one a couple of weeks ago that fixed LTE+ etc. I'm not aware of any other.
Has anyone with this problem tried the sign in via emergency call option some have managed with Pixel?

My phone didnt update same build as I have had. It just happened I didnt do anything out of the ordinary and once you reboot after it hits the phone is pretty much unusable until you factory reset from recovery.

You can get into the settings with that method but it wont let you do anything from the setting that would be useful. I seen where on pixel you can change users and use the phone but this option wouldnt work on the essential for me.

You can try deleting /lockscreen.db in data/system/lockscreen.db
That will delete your current lock screen password but won't touch anything else. Just go in twrp and mount system and go to advanced/file manager and navigate to said file and swipe to delete.
Probably not very much help but just an idea...

I'm not encrypted. Makes sense.

Has a fix for this been provided?
I have updated my phone yesterday and I cannot login with the Pin, I can only login with the fingerprint.
