Hello everyone,
I got a phone Galaxy A 20 and called Boost mobile to sim unlock the phone, what they did.
When done I factory reseted the phone. Now when I try to add an account I got a "your phone was factory reset., type the password to unlock it. If I bypass the request I get "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on those device."
I don't have those information, is there something I can to to really reset the phone and not get this message?
Thanks
This means that your phone has google lock, also known as FRP (someone forgot to log out from google account). It is possible to bypass it (i successfully did it on Lenovo Tab M10, Lenovo Tab 3 7 and Nokia 5.1 Plus), but sometimes it can be difficult. According to this video, you can enter settings by crashing the setup wizard app. I think installing Apex Launcher is unnecessary, you can search for the Pin Windows feature. I didn't tested it, but I think this should work.

thanks you very much for your answer. Nothing worked for me because I couldn't have access to the launcher adn the settings. I brought the phone to a store and he was able to crack it

Special thanks to rootjunky. I used part of his work to get this done. Enjoy
1. Startup priv
2. Connect to wifi
3 when priv shows checking connection then immediately it shows software update switch of router to stop connection with the priv
4 hit next till u get to the setup pattern screen, setup a pattern lock then restart phone
5 when phone restarts phone will be locked with the pattern u setup earlier.
6 launch the dialer button from th locked screen and dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter secret menu.
7 hit on usage statistics
8 hit on the back button and u will find yourself in settings
9 scroll down to backup and reset
10 reset phone and when phone starts up, setup a new device. That's it
Special hanks to rootjunky for tips
Doesn't work
follow the instructions as I posted before u come here to complain, I bypassed a device with that method . and little correction, the back key u should use when in usage statistics is the back key on the top left corner not the one down.
Even it didn't worked for me. I tried and went through this process very carefully but was all in vain.
Please suggest.
now tell me were u found difficult
I tried this on latest may security patch and it still works

Exactly, factory resetting through settings using this guide doesn't bypass FRP. It still asks for the previous persons credentials.

I tried this process with Marshmallow 6.0 (bbry_qc8992_autoloader_user-common-AAE570) and even after downgrading it with Lollipop 5.1.1 (bbry_qc8992_autoloader_user-common-AAD250) but it still stucks at same add gmail account screen.

Very strange. I tried this on 5.1 when I got the device and it worked with that process very well, even with the may security update it still works . Frp under normal circumstances shouldn't be triggered if the device is wiped from settings, this leaves us with food for thought.

There is another process used by rootjunky on the s7 were he logs in his Google account inside some process in running applications when e finally arrived in settings . I guess we have to look for a way to log in another Google account before resetting the device .

Try to add New User from setting.
Add existing gmail account.
It will allow you to access phone.
Now go back to Setting and click on Owner
Now from Owner reset the phone from backup and reset.
Phone is unlocked.

not working on security patch 1 may 2016
Yesterday I had the opportunity of handling another priv with frp running on 5.1.1.
Use my instruction on page 1 to access settings.
But this time dont just reset, go to users and lunch as a guest
Then login any Google account when in guest mode.
Then revert to owner once u fully logged in
Then u can reset device now in settings when u in the owner mode and frp is gone .
Enjoy
folowing your instruction on page 1 ..i have acces to setting
but when i do factory reset still ask the googgle account
i do 1 more time ..and when i set to quest user always kick out and back to owner so i cant put my googgle account on this phone
btw this priv have andorid 6.0.1 version and andrroid security pacth 1 may 2016
thanks
hello out there everyone, i have a big problem with my new samsung j5 6 sm-j510fn/ds.
i tried to root my device directly after i became it. i flashed twrp with odin but forgot to disabel the oem lock. so i got a frp lock, as i rebooted my device.
now i´ve downloaded my original firmware and flashed it with odin.
now when i reboot, everything seems normal but google wants me to log in my google account to verify my device, but i never used one on this device !!! and it isn´t accepting anyone
i tried 8 different firmwares for my device, but it´s allways the same....
anyone an idea what i can do ?
kies3 and smartswitch didn´t even know my model nr. on the sticker behind the battery....
only sm-j510fn but then they say wrong serial number
It is just a simple problem, check on youtube, there are like hundred of tutorials on how to bypass Google verification.

Damn... Issue... Smarthswitch does sometimes have bugs. Try creating a new google account to log in. Logging to your samsung account then might let you restore your data. Btw google how to bypass google login. There are many guides but I don't remember one right now.

I made a new google account but i had to make it on my desktop pc, cause i can't do on my j5. When i boot my j5 i can take the first three steps
1. the android welkome screen appears and i have to choose a language
2. choose w-lan
3. accept policies
And then google verification starts and i have to type my Email and password. When i confirm i get this error message on the bottom of the screen: Unable to sign in device due to a recent passwort change. Please try to sign in 24 hours after the passwort change performed
And i can't bypass it
Follow the realterm tutorials on YouTube (required Windows computer) and put a simcard into it. Managed to get my friends J500H from stuck on FRP lock to CM 12.1

If you've never used a Google account and your phone is new, you should not be asked for an account. When you turn on the phone for the first time a configuration setup appears which in one of its steps asks you to enter a Google account, if you have done and you have put a pin code the phone will be blocked when you try to alter the system. FRP is activated when you put a security pattern, pin code, or add a Google account. Before installing the twrp you should activate the oem unlock. In any case the phone is stolen, we can not help you with that. Xda has her rules. You can try using a box z3x, medusa, octopus etc etc.
I never use google accounts, why should i ? and the phone was bought through amazon. If you start the first time without any sim card, bypass the google account login and then put twrp on it. You get the same problem as i. You'll see. I don't steal Handys or buy things like that !

If you don't use Google accounts then it must be a very limited experience. Because most of what the device can do is based around Google.
How do you update apps? Backup contacts? Use YouTube etc?
Also it seems you missed out a bit of information above. It doesn't say you've factory reset your device which you must have done to get you in that predicament.
All you needed to do was reinstall the stock firmware to bypass FRP Lock. Wiping the device had compounded the issue.
Its great that you've fixed it, but at least you may realise the value of ensuring you have a working Google account.
I have been trying to reboot a used phone I have bought. The Samsung Galaxy J3 (6). Yes, there is a 6 after the J3 inside of a little circle. Apparently this is the closest thing that xda has to it on the forums. I have tried everything I could find on the internet to get around this google verify problem from the previous user. I have used the emergency caller to basically access everything on the phone. I have attempted to change the google account through settings, I have installed new apps to access other areas, I have have tried to downgrade Google Account Manager to disable the "error" problem in the quick shortcut app. This last method didn't work due to the phone not letting me be able to downgrade. I have installed the rootjunkie's samsung unlocker apk and got to settings. I have factory reset from here twice, with and without a password. Both did not do a thing for me. I am out of ideas. can anybody help me out here?

The issue is FRP. Someone has factory reset from recovery instead of settings.
If you can get into settings as you say then set up another Google account then switch to that account.
Restart and log into that account.
Which firmware build is the device running?

I have tried to add a Google account through several methods as well. Through settings, through Gmail app, through play store. All of which keep taking me to the same verification check screen, but it allows me to back out to the settings again.

My version is 6.01 I believe. But I cannot downgrade to the 6.01 Google account manager with new security stuff.
Your device is nearly identical to J320A & J320AZ.
I am unsure if you need to enable "oem unlock" from Dev options to flash the kernel.
But if Odin let's you this method should get you going.
Hi,
I have a Tab A6 SM-t580, had it for a while then stopped using it, decided I wanted to give it to my son to play with, so did a reset by home & Vol Up & power button, then eventually it asks for this google verification, I've never seen this before and I cant remember the email address or password i used at the time because I just create a new random one for each device i have.
I used odin to flash the firmware but same thing
I tried to use odin to flash the root from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/root-t3674409 but that says its blocked the file because of the FRP lock.
Have I totally fooked this now? Do I just have a shiny paperweight?
Thanks
And another T580 falls victim to the FRP lock. If you don't enable Developer's options and OEM enable prior to a factory reset, you'll be required to enter your Google username and password upon first reboot. This is supposed to discourage thieves but it seems legit owners get bit by it more than the thieves. The good news is that you can recover from the disaster. But it isn't easy. Search the Q&A threads for "T580 FRP lock" and you should find the instructions for fixing it.
Thanks for that, I like the anti theft system, but maybe it should display a warning before you commit to the reset. I've done plenty of resets before on my android devices before and never seen this
A warning would also alert the thief not to reset. I know some people want more than one Google account and can forget what account they used on a given device. But I think the answer to this would be to allow some method of associating one's account to a main account that could be used to see what logon and passwords were used on each device. Personally, I use the same account on all devices. I have close to a dozen and if I used a different account on each, I'd never remember them all.
I've sorted it thanks to this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/samsung-sm-t580-frp-lock-t3619870/
Thanks!!!

you'll need some way to access the account....like you can login on desktop, then go to
Sign in - Google Accounts
And generate one-time passwords that you should be able to use.
my gf was only logged to this account on this phone, i think its 99% no way to get it back, any other ideas or phone goes to trashbin?
There are tools that do this. Search for "Huawei FRP Bypass Tool". It works with the phone connected to a computer.
I don't know it they work on every version, or if they also do other stuff besides what they claim , but they do solve this problem.
There are also more convoluted methods, which require internet acces (from WiFi) and generally involve going through different menus and settings, to finally launch a browser and download several apps which will also remove frp. You can look for those as well on google or youtube.
