impossible to remove google account on an old lg k8 qualqoom - LG K8 Questions & Answers

Hello friends. I have spent a week trying methods that I knew about before and many others that I have seen on the internet without getting any results to delete an old google account from a mobile that came in a batch that I bought on ebay to repair. I did not take the precaution of deleting the google account that I previously had and now no system works for me.
I have searched a lot on the forum but there is hardly any information about this k8 M200N model with qualqoom processor. The fact is that I have bought a new screen and some more accessories to repair it and now I still have a brick. I also don't see any development via rom that I can install in download mode. I installed the official one through the lgup software but the only thing I have managed is to update the system, the problem is still the same.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you

Search about Google FRP for this model on youtube.

I have already tried all the methods that there are on youtube, they do not work for me. I guess google has also seen the security flaws and they have protected it. The software like passfab unlocker android does not work either, I am desperate with this mobile and the only thing that occurs to me is to put a custom rom but I do not see development for it

Don't give up.
Try flashing the firmware again, but don't update it.
An older system is easier to unlock. Methods to remove FRP are evolving. Maybe you can find an unlocking variant on your own, since you already know the idea.

Thanks my friend. I think the same, plus I'm very stubborn. It is very difficult for me to give up but I am already getting old.

I bought a second-hand K8 (2016), which had a google account lock. The unlocking guide was not precise, but after looking at other similar guides I found common features that helped me remove the lock. You will also succeed. I suppose you are not stubborn, but patient.

I have managed to downgrade, right now it is with android 7 but still, I can't get any of the solutions on youtube to work for me. I can get out to the internet, I can get into some pages (vnrom.net) but when I click on a link it doesn't do anything. He is getting heavy this lg but I am harder than him hahahaha

I imagine that just like you can do from windows or linux with any packaged software you can use an unpacker and modify the rom to skip that step. But it's been 20 years since I used reverse engineering tools and what little I did was with very outdated tools today. For android there must be some current deodex and I'm willing to learn how to work the rom until I get away with it.

It doesn't work that way. During flashing, the key imprint from LG is checked.

Ok I understand. Thank you

Well, I finally managed to solve the problem. Although I didn't imagine that I could since none of the tutorials I've seen is updated, they all fail in something, so I spent many hours looking for shortcuts and ways to do it without following the tutorials and finally I managed to open chrome, the key is there, to get into the search engine and download an app, really difficult since everything is cut off by google so that the shortcuts and so on do not work. Although I have not recorded the process and I do not remember where I started, I am going to block it again and take note of how I do it so that someone else can use the system

It is not worth your time to write instructions for unlocking. What would we have to do, on the XDA forum, if a user could easily do everything themselves?

Add Memory to my N10

Hi there,
I got the N10 and I have run out of space already, so I bought a OTG cable and a 256GB USB stick, so I can load all the music and movies I need on the drive.
So I connect everything and no luck, so I try and std. 8GB stick and same issue.
Then I start reading and find that the best solution for me is probably Stickmount, or something similar, but I need to root my device to use it.
So here is my question:
I am happy to have the stock N10 SW installed and do not really need to load custom ROMs.
I would like to receive future std. OTA updates
So how do I root my device and maintain the requisites above. I have never rooted a device and do not know much about the process, so I would really appreciate detailed info/step-by-step info... I have access to a PC, but use a mac, so is there a SW solution for mac to root?
Ps. what are the downsides of rooting, if done as I requested? and What are the typical Nuub mistakes?
Many thanks,
Nick
You can use an app called Nexus Media Importer to mount an external USB drive without root.
Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003938.
This gives you root without unlocking and OTA should works.
Don't bother part that unlock is necessary - is not (for me and others is not - you must try by yourself).
For drivers use Universal Naked one.
Good luck!

Just kidding.
It's very easy to both root and unlock. You also open up a whole other side of apps that aren't available to you on stock
Good luck :beer:

OK, I followed the thread and rooted my gn10.. I also downloaded an app that let's me lock and unlock my boot loader without wiping the device...
If I still want to get the ota updates, what do I need to do/what mode do I need to leave it in to make sure I get them? Locked or unlocked? And will it be an issue the my device is rooted?
Also, what is the latest gn10 ROM available? I have 4.2.1. Is it worth upgrading and if so, which is the best ROM out there and how do I find it and install it?
Many thanks for all your help!

To receive the OTA updates you don't have to do anything except check when they're available! 4.2.2 is the latest, within you may want to check if it's available.
Rooting simply lets you access the root of the device, it won't stop updates or anything similar. If you update to 4.2.2 OTA you may lose root, you can easily get it back by using the same instructions as you followed to root it in the first place, or use the toolkit. Or you might not lose it, and either way it's no big deal, you can always check to see if you have it anyway.
Custom roms are more daunting but they're really not that hard, if you feel up to the task you will have to make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed, then it's just a case of wiping the device and installing it. There are loads of videos on YouTube that can help you do it, and and countless threads on here. Paranoid android is my favourite, if you install a custom rom kiss OTA updates goodbye, when a new version is released it usually comes with all the updates. :laugh:
Question directed at OP: Where/which OTG cable did you get? I'm considering one so I can hook into my external media HDD.

SIMPLE TOOL
This is a easy tool I made the other day. For now you can do simple enough tasks which just save you opening Command Prompt and flashing img’s etc. I do plan on expanding this a little and attempting to make it multi-device compatible. For now enjoy the limited function and let me know how you get on.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Simple stuff, hence the name.
+ The buttons state what the do so you shouldn’t have any issues.

FAQ's
PHONE ISN'T RECOGNISED...
+ Make sure you have your device drivers installed.
++ If you are using Windows 8 then you need to Advanced Reboot and turn of driver signature verification.
+ Is USB Debugging Enabled and Root Access to ADB level, within Developer Options?
PHONE IS BOOTLOOPING...
+ Chances are you have flashed the wrong boot image or one that isn't compatible. This could be because your run a ROM that doesn't support it or that it's plain and simple for the wrong device. Have a check again and make sure you use the right one.
THIS TOOL DON'T DO NOTHING RIGHT...
+ Check to make sure you can run commands and get the phone recognised using the old fashioned command prompt way. Simple adb devices etc. If this works and the tool doesn't then feel free to post. Just bare in mind I test the functions on a Nexus 4, Nexus 7 & Oppo Find 5 with which the functions have all worked.

The only thing I understand Is that we have to replace some dlls in Nokia Care Suite 5.0.0(2012.45.4)
then we have to patch ffu file using the exe file
then flash the Custom ffu with Care Suite !
But i'm not sure . Anyone else ?

I doubt... Also look at the date 2013-4-6. If it hasn't been widely used and known by now then I doubt it'll work. I also would doubt it would work with any new firmwares. ALTHOUGH... I wonder if this can be used to put those who were on the Rogers Dev Lumia Amber Rom back on the AT&T Rom?
Also, the translated title: "[Discuss] User announced today Lumia920 brush made ​​ROM tutorial and tools (the effect is unknown, only for discussion) [Copy link]"
It's untested.
Wouldn't hurt to try...... right?
Apparently they know both the software method and the hardware method, hardware method is to complicated to release
And , I also found something else
I'll believe it when a proper guide is released to public and proven to work...

Notice that the phone is COMPLETELY taken apart... Some of the chinese hackers have been able to achieve SOMETHING by using a riffbox and some other demonic magic that the typical user won't be able to achieve. The source from OP explains that this method HASN'T been tested. If you want to brick your phone, go ahead and do so. The one thing that they haven't said is that all FFUs are signed also. You can try and make your own, but I doubt it will work. I would say it's best to wait until one of the XDA devs can break through and create a miracle instead of hopping towards something that hasn't been tested yet. If you wish to try it, go right a head and you can be the guinea pig for something for something that was written almost a year ago .
By way way, all except one DLL in that archive have invalid headers, that is they are not real DLLs.
simple and very cheap way for developer unlock: find 4 friends with WP phones, buy developer unlock $19 per year divided on 5 people (is only $3,8 per people) and unlock 5 phones (phones dont need to be with same MS account)

Whatever changes you do to the FFU file will invalidate it's signature. You can flash it, but the bootloader will refuse to load the image if SecureBoot is on.

In my case bootloader is messed up, but what happens if we change something in MainOS that is not the kernel? Maybe registry or something. Bootloader should stay functional, so if it does not sigcheck the whole OS, it should boot

The signature applies to the entire FFU file, so no matter what part of it you modify it'll be invalidated and you'll brick your phone. -.-
MainOS is, as the name suggest, the main part of the OS. Registry is there, files are there, most of the stuff is there. You think if it was possible to change the registry in FFU and successfully boot such an image that no one would've posted about it yet?
The only feasible way of doing this is to achieve some sort of higher unlock on the phone itself, then disable secureboot to allow custom ROMs.
On a normal bootup, the process looks something like this: EFI Secure Boot checks the bootloader's signature. Bootloader (Windows Secure Boot) checks the kernel's signature. Kernel checks EFI for what level of signature enforcement it's supposed to use, then checks the signatures of all binaries (drivers, programs, and libraries) it loads.
When flashing, though, it's different. There, the firmware that controls the flashing mode on the phone checks the signature of the entire image before writing it. This does take a while, but not as long as writing all that data to flash memory will anyhow. Hashes are very fast to compute.
Disclaimer: I don't do custom ROMs, so it's possible that I'm misunderstanding something, especially in the flashing process.

Problem is that it does NOT check the signatures before writing to eMMC, CareSuite checks the whole ffu, then the phone checks it after each partition. So in my case: bootloader's partition was flashed, then sigcheck failed, so I ended up with a brick. In case of a pre-flash check, the phone would be still functional.

If you have JTAG or RIFFBOX, you can check your phone's eMMC to comfirm your guess.

There's not going to be root for the 997 because of sprint locking it down and incrementing arb. The phone is well over two years old so the majority of devs moved on to other platforms long ago and none of the few remaining devs are working on root.

Yeah I understand, but there's lot of people here with the same phone and I'm sure there's a way, maybe with LGUP and UPPERCUT going down to a lower release or using another KDZ from another model very close to it, I'm sure there's something to do instead of trowing it in a garbage can. There a dev here loves challenges and some of them are working on older phone...
Please??? I give 15 US$ by Paypal if someone succeded!!!

You can't downgrade to root because as I stated arb was incremented if you do you'll blow a fuse and be bricked. Also no one is working on root, it's been discussed numerous times on this forum

Quick question about the same phone. This phone came from an estate sell, so I did a factory reset. The reset version is Android 8 Security patch July 1 2018. I'm not using it as a phone (no SIM card), but just for Android Auto as media player/GPS.
From what I'm reading, it can't be rooted?
Can the bootloader be unlocked/changed using dirty santa so I can install TWRP, then Lineage 17.1?
There is so much conflicting info on this V20 version.

No, that version of the phone is completely locked down. The only thing you can do on it is factory reset and absolutely nothing else, not even flashing firmware (because that will permanently brick it). If you really want more details on why, you can check my write-up over here (look at most of the bold parts).

I bought a 2020 Tacoma. The stereo sucks. If you use a USB drive with with thousands of audio files as the source, when you select artist from the menu, it will start at "A" and start playing. Takes forever to find the artist/song . And Toyota decided to pull GPS. You have to download Entune to the stereo, which seems to be incompatible with the 2020. They just threw their hands up and figured everyone will want to use their phone (I don't).
So I bought this phone for $20 so I can leave it the truck at all times to run VLC and Google Maps. Looks like Sprint and Toyota bent us over again.

You have to submit a ticket in the xperifix website. What is your firmware version, you will find it in settings/about phone.
Newflasher won't help you, it's for flashing whole firmware files to your phone, nothing to do with drm issues.
Will reinstalling/flashing a whole rom will give me the ability to use the camera again?

Xperifix is Trash. Don't pay for a Essential Thing. The Guy leaved XDA for a good Reason... Janjan fixs Your Device for FREE. We are Android Users, not Apple Sheeps. Don't pay to get a FREE System working!
Donate, but don't pay or use a stupid Windows Programm while You could just do the same without a PC and paying...
So will newflasher work? I want to give a try today
Problem still persists after trying newflash. Still camera can’t focus can’t take pic. I’m doomed.

This is how I handled mine with XZ1 via newsflasher. I was getting no focus and camera button would not work. Check the thread I wrote describing my fix but I used drmfix from @janjan vs storm's xperifix. The result should be the same however.

This is by far the most complicated bootloader unlocking I’ve come across. Worse than lg. Disappointing.

I leaved XDA? When? Hahaha...
Janjan is using my old files. Without me, there wouldn't be any fix for these devices. Wish you good luck finding a fix for Pie, because my old files won't work on Pie. And there will never be a public fix from me anymore.

I was not 100% sure but it's good that you confirmed. Thank you for your hard work that was offered for free. @sToRm//
Perhaps it's now time to consider alternate ROMs instead of dealing with stock issues after bootloader unlock.
