remove your google accounts from the phone reboot
You can follow this guide to successfully unlock your phone.
Hope this helps you.
Did you ?
Hey !
Did you succeed unlock FRP ?
I have the same problem to be able to flash a stock recovery...
I have no access to the Stock Custom and I'm not able to remove any google Account (my Phone has no rom).
If you did something for this, please keep me inform
And excuse my language : I'm french.
Cheers
Did some searching around and found this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/unlock-bootloader-issues-kiw-t3411032
The information is here:
tohc1 said:
To answer my own problem/ for anyone else having problems it is necessary to remove the factory reset protection (frp) to do this you need to remove all pin/password/fingerprint locks, then remove all google accounts and finally do a factory reset.
Then the usual adb/fastboot commands work fine.
As linux33it says the bootloader can be unlocked without the option in the developer options.

While this works for some - it failed to work for me. Maybe because I didn't enable a little option on the screen about allowing OEM unlock. Maybe. But I (stupidly?) ended up where I was sent in this external guide.
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/...our-honor-5x-official-and-unofficial-methods/
Basically went to this site and used their tool (cost me USD$16) to wipe the FRP.
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
Maybe if you enable the option about the OEM unlock in Developer Mode this isn't necessary..........
Hopefully this helps someone. So to outline - let me show what I did - including errors.
Wipe the phone / factory reset.
Reboot and ensure everything is removed. Factory reset again.
Tried the commands - got error.
Did search for FRP unlock and found site.
Followed instructions on site which led me to download DC Unlocker and pay for their FRP unlock.
Reboot and setup phone (with no accounts or password or fingerprints).
Enabled "OEM UNLOCK" in developer options (which I didn't see before.........)
Run commands (they all now work).
Bootloader unlocked successfully.
Device factory resets.
Setup device again skipping accounts/password/fingerprints.
Follow instructions for flashing TWRP and finishing up.
Complete.
Again - hopefully this helps someone.

Explain please? What I'm putting forward is some information for persons that may not be as mobile tech inclined. Or persons over-eager like myself (actually bricked the phone and brought it back from boot-loop). While some information may be common knowledge for persons who do this often (or devs), persons just getting into it may make mistakes. Don't want them to do stuff and end up bricking the device.

I agree. But I don't recall seeing anything in the original instructions about the FRP which shows / states ensuring OEM unlock is checked. Unless I missed it. I DO recall seeing it somewhere else in another thread where someone mentioned it. But I still don't know if the case is enabling it means you don't need to use the DC Unlocker program.

you dont need dc unlocker, unless you have not checked "oem unlock" option in dev. options..(thats also only case if you were on lollipop)
and if you are on mm, you dont even need to check that option,

I had basically bricked it and brought it back. Think the one I got had some issues, because I couldn't update it at all. Even before rooting it wouldn't update. Then I realized that when the update was running it rebooted into TWRP - so I flashed back the stock recovery and tried again. No luck. This was done with disabling OEM unlock as well and still nothing. So I got an UPDATE.APP as well as a nandroid that I believe was supposed to be able to update the phone. None worked.
khat17 said:
It's a little bit of both. Those are the steps I followed to get root access. However, I don't recall seeing anything about the FRP in any of the previous guides.
As for my specific issue, I can't update regardless of what I try. After de-bricking the device I got it to this stage. I'll upload the screenshots shortly.
*EDIT*
So this is my phone now. Partly upgraded it seems. The device is now at B331 instead of B151, but still on EMUI 3.0
And what I want to point out is - after enabling DEVELOPER MODE - ensure you check the OEM UNLOCK option.
Because I can't confirm at this point if doing that will prevent having to pay for the FRP unlock.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But now that you've confirmed that there's no need to pay for the bootloader unlock, I would go ahead and do some experimenting if you suggest. For science. But I'm a little reluctant to try and re-lock the bootloader and then unlock it again. If you can confirm or even partly guarantee that it works however, I'll do some messing around with it. For science. Otherwise, I've managed to get the device to a working state now - wouldn't want to mess with it much.. Only if I can try something else to get EMUI 4 on it.

Hi all. I'd like to put forward some suggestions to be placed in the first post. I literally paid cash to learn and figure some stuff out. Even if you're good at following instructions or partially experienced in these things, when you're eager to get it done or impatient (like me) you find the fastest route.
Here are some links in case someone wants to just go through the whole thing themselves.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/unlock-frp-t3444584#post69917735
So here's what happened. I got the phone and was very eager to just get my stuff on it right away. Rooting is the first thing I wanted to do and looked that up to get it done. Made a mistake in the process and ended up paying cash to learn. Hopefully others will read this and not suffer the same fate.
What I Did (Including Mistakes)
Wipe the phone / factory reset.
Reboot and ensure everything is removed. Factory reset again.
Tried the commands - got error about FRP protection.
Did search for FRP unlock and found site.
Followed instructions on site which led me to download DC Unlocker and pay for their FRP unlock.
Reboot and setup phone (with no accounts or password or fingerprints).
Enabled "OEM UNLOCK" in developer options (which I didn't see/enable before.........)
Run commands (they all now work).
Bootloader unlocked successfully.
Device factory resets.
Setup device again skipping accounts/password/fingerprints.
Follow instructions for flashing TWRP and finishing up.
Complete.
Some other things to ensure you note - if you're migrating from any Samsung device, don't do restore of Samsung stuff like XPOSED to the Huawei. And don't just arbitrarily do a restore from Titanium either. Select only the apps you want to use, or do the longer process of getting them from Google then restoring the data after.
Something else I noticed on my KIW-L24 is that I can't update. At all. I tried using different methods including the UPDATE.APP file for the phone, but it just gets stuck in a boot-loop. Currently going to load the B151 UPDATE.APP and see if I can de-brick it. Will edit and update the thread.
*EDIT1*
And just my luck. Didn't work. So stuck in a boot-loop. Working on it and will update when done or I give up.
*EDIT2*
So during the boot-loop I held VOL-DOWN+PWR and it went to a FASTBOOT+RECOVERY option. From there I flashed TWRP back to it and the system is now up and working. So lesson learned there. No idea why my own won't go to 6 though. Don't mind 5, but wanted to go up to 6..............still - better to have it working than not working. So happy there.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah. So after TWRP was flashed, I did a restore from a backup I found online. And that's how I managed to get it up. The restore was for 151 not 331.

I've looked through the forums and such for an answer. But no answer is as simple as I need it to be.
Recently, I tried to root my device. I used fastboot and unlocked my boot menu or whatever it's called.
After all of this, it seems to run just fine, except it can't connect to the mobile network at all.
On any forum thread given, it says to flash the PH file or check the S-off and other things, and to be honest, I have no idea what these are. I just need a simple "do this and do that" help walkthrough.
What I want is to return the HTC Rezound to it's out-of-box state. Basically factory recovery. Please put it as simple as you can.
A bit of extra information is: I tried to root when my phone had the OST update installed, and forgot to check about it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Making a major change to your device and not understanding the process is how you break things. You should read through and understand what you are going to attempt before starting.
You did put the cover back on?
Again, the most OBVIOUS fix is, have you put the battery cover back on the phone? Mostly when people first see this problem is that they leave the back off.when performing the root method, forgetting that the antennas are on the battery door.

Yes the cover is on the back of the device. I was watching a video playlist on YouTube that I followed and his turned out fine but mine just had to have the update I guess...how could I fix this?

I'm not sure what I did , but I reset it's factory image and it seems to be as if it just came out of the box.
Now before I go about rooting it I'll make sure to make a backup image,
learn a bit more about what's going on,
talk to some of my dev buddies,
Try again, carefully.

Backup Image?? If you don't have root, you cant do that.
You are not making a lot of sense as to what steps you actually took?
Did you unlock the bootloader yet?
I see you now have two threads for the same thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623203
Hi guys,
Just wondering if I can get root without unlocking the bootloader. Seems that I;m hearing that this isn't possible, which makes no sense. I know Verizon is Verizon when it comes to locking things down(They were even blocking free games on dumbphones back in the day so that you would have to buy them, even when the manufacturer included them for free), but it seems that gaining root access is completely different than flashing a new ROM. Am I correct here?
Also, would towelroot work for this phone? I know it's a nice simple solution, but I believe their claim is for phones manufactured before Jun '14.
Lastly, would a solution like Safestrap work here? It's what I used on my last phone (S3), when Verizon locked THAT down.
I know it is a battle fighting Verizon on this, and I know it takes time, I was just wondering if I am reading this right, or if I could root, but run the standard ROM, just with the extra access... Really, the phone is working so well that I just want better control for things like deleting/disabling/freezing stock apps and such.
Thanks for any help!! Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, seemed appropriate.
I am a user of H961N and it is also cannot be rooted.
I think root injection may be the answer.

It keeps returning "FAIL" to me no matter what command i enter. I have asked about this in the thread in G4 forum but no one answer me, sad
I think that you may try it and it may work, as the above problem may not due to the phone but my computer.
Where did you get you system.img file? if you are using the one from the g4 it will not work. The file needs to be rooted for your device and then injected.

I'm curious, the 'Fail' just means that it fails to work, right? Phone works fine after that and all? No bricking or need to restore? If so, that's a safe risk. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think if LG release a genuine ROM file, we could replace recovery parition with rooted one and flash it to our phone, that the only way open but LG hasn't released any ROM file yet.

Sorry, wasn't sure, as I was asking about development.... Sometimes this is like a scene form the movie Big Trouble... At the airport, "Arrivals or Departures"? "Well, we're arriving at the airport, but then we're going to be departing.".
Hello,
I've got myself a tablet the other day. It's a Point of View TAB I847. Android 5.1
I was at a friends house and wanted to try the tablet. So I registered some random account at google because I couldn't remember the password of my own.
Today I resetted the device and wanted to start over with my actual account. Now I'm stuck at the point where I'm supposed to sign in with the account I've previously used with the tablet, and I couldn't remember the login to save my life.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? Even somehow figuring out the gmail account name I used would help me, because I remember the password.
PS: I'm very mad at google for activating this feature without telling me about it before I was resetting the device.
Did you do a factory reset using recovery? That should work if you haven't tried it yet
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA-Developers mobile app
@jantdroid solution would work for sure
Press volume up and power key simultaneously until phone boots and then release the power key. It make take up to 20sec to boot into recovery. Once in recovery, either choose a factory reset option or wipe user data (whatever option you get ).
Do a reboot after that, and it will be as if you're using it for first time
Hmm yeah I did that. I chose "wipe data/factory reset" and it does that. But once the device rebooted and I'm setting it up, Google asks me to log-in with the account that I have previously synched the device with (which I can't remember).
If you've a warranty, get to your retailer to get it fixed (carry your bill there )
If not, head over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838435, make sure you've the same device then and then only proceed to below step.
1.flash a custom recovery, reboot into recovery and do a full wipe.
Reboot, this time it should work.
2.thought, you won't require this, if you will, flash any custom rom and don't flash gapps. Boot the rom, setup your device and then reboot to recovery and flash the gapps and reboot. (This time google is out of your way )

This is basically the next step if the factory reset didn't work. I don't think the retailer will consider this problem as under warranty though.
It would be wise yo recover your google account by all means, backup email address, phone recovery pasword, etc.
If you're really out of hand of everything in trying to recover your google account.
Then that's the time you try to flash a custom recovery and/or flash a custom rom to regain access to your phone.

Thank you guys. I've contacted the dealer but they basically said that they can't help me. They don't take back locked devices either. This is the biggest case "not owner of my own device" I've ever experienced personally.
I'm trying to flash it now. Though I'm not sure how I'm going to "Enable debugging on device" without being able to access it
Also pretty sure it's not the same device(?). Mine is by Point Of View and produced in 2016 also known as "Mobii TAB-I847"
If you can't remember the credentials you used you have a problem:

Oh well, I tried the stuff he shows in the video, but it seems they have fixed the "share" exploit. I managed to use the camera app from the lockscreen though! so that's a huge step forward
Purchasing a OTG now, might come in handy.
Also purchased a new tablet now because I've already spent too much time and energy on this. Might come back to it later though. GOOD GAME GOOGLE! Next time please ask if I want your silly protection feature, k?

Well that is one feature used in LL 5.1 and looks like it's just a mimic of iOS lockdown feature too. Flashing a ROM less than 5.1 just like KK will remove that lockdown. Goodluck on unlocking it again in the future. [emoji1]

How would I got about doing this though? I don't see a way to flash anything on to it without getting past the FRP first...
Also I can't seem to find a custom rom for this model. Or are there like generic ones? Sorry, I'm a noob in this field...
Sorry to say but your device is different so don't flash it.
Until something new to recover it, is found out you can go to mobile specialist to get your device qflash(ed). (This is same method by which a factory system is installed )

Developer options ON -> OEM unlocking ON (Allow the bootloader to be unlocked)So, where do I go from here? (am sorry if that really can be found already in this forum, I however did not find it ... maybe I'm just too stupid)
I love the perfect screen name.
Did you search, at least?? Look in the question and answer forum and in the general forum as well.
I'm sure that your answer is there in bold letters. But. If you don't have a bootloader unlock code, then you are out of luck, and TotallyClueless.

Well, I am kinda tech affin, and every associate comes to me when it is about computers or even smartphones, despite me stating over and over again that I actually have no clue about the inner workings of android or smartphones. Well, at least I can use the Apps better then them... (not really an art, most of them can't even install them ... and I mean direct from the google play store)

I did. And I also did find nothing ... at least nothing that seemed (to me) to fit on my situation. I searched in https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10 and subs

Just turning that option on doesn't unlock your bootloader. You have to use some commands using adb to actually unlock the bootloader. Search that for that thread, and you'll see the full listing of instructions. However, if you didn't request that code before Huawei took it awei, then you won't be able to do anything, as has been said in many a thread.

As nabril15 says, it's not possible on BLA-L29C432B146 or later. This is due to an updated bootloader which can't be downgraded.
So sadly there is no way for you to unlock, unless Huawei opens their unlock site again.

1) Go in TWRP to "Advanced" and open "Terminal" - type following commands:
Code:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
Confirm the entry to apply it and go back to the main menu on "Install"
2) Flash latest Magisk-v17.1.zip with TWRP

Mexxx... At one point some time ago, I wiped my data partition, so I don't know if it's encrypted or not; I assume that it is not. When I run twrp blanc, I see that it decrypts data and then I can its contents.
Do I want to preserve force encryption? Or should I set it to false?

You'd want it true.
If you have flashed firmware between the "some time ago" and now you are encrypted.
And removing encryption requires both wipe data AND edit fstab in /vendor/etc. fstab is replaced when you flash a new firmware and you will be encrypted again.
Also, if you're using TWRP by Pretoriano80 that's the reason why you can see data, it can decrypt.
Does anyone have experience with this 'DCunlocker' program that has to be unlocked with 4,- Euros?
Does it work to unlock the bootloader?
I can't believe this phone can't be unlocked anymore, if I would have known that I wouldn't have bought it.

DO NOT EVER TRY ROOT THIS PHONE OR EVEN BUY IT IF ROOTING IS YOUR AIM.
Huawei have ensured that they make it impossible to unlock the bootloader or to root. What will happen is you will need to buy a bootloader unlock code from Funky Huawei for 55 USD, when you brick your phone you will need to pay them a extra 18 USD for the unbricking tool. No wonder western countries are kicking this POS brand out of their countries. Huawei just wants to spy on us hence why they don't want us to tamper with their software.
NEVER HAUWEI AGAIN!
XIAOMI ALL THE WAY!!
guess i wont be spending/wasting $75 on this phone going to go out on a limb and say same for the P20 pro? spend to unlock it???

Yes unfortunately the same. Rooting or doing any modding on Huawei is extremely risky and made even more difficult with Huawei c**k blocking.

Sorry Sam, I just saw this. If your intent is to root then save the $75. However, it still remains a powerful phone with an amazing battery life. The updates are far and few, but let's be honest, the phone still works fine. I'm not being petty-minded, I'm simply offering a point of view. I have mine rooted with the stock rom. I haven't been able to do a whole lot rooted other than to freeze a few apps using titanium backup. Was that worth the hassle it took to root it? I'm not sure. I have a fast and awesome phone, stock and rooted and not really doing much with the root.
Good luck and decide for yourself.
@nabril15 thanks for the reply ... i have the s8+ and im tired of samsung and looking to move away from them ... i wanted this phone because i couldnt pass up the price ... im rooted and locked BL now ... so it would be the same with the 10 PRO ..... is it better then what i have .. id have to buy it and test it myself ... not really sure what to do but i appreciate the comments ...
to all ... happy holidays

No problem. If you can get this phone for 75, go for it. Updates, schmupdates. Big deal. It is fast, the battery is ridiculous, the camera is very good, and it's a good phone. So we have to wait longer for Pie which is probably very similar. So what? 75 for any smartphone is a good deal. Face it

It depends on what build it comes with. If it's security patch June or later (in most cases) you won't be able to use DC to unlock it. There are other, much more expensive services available (10x the price of DC) to get unlock code if your build is too new.
Hey there,
apologies in case I'm in the wrong thread for my my following problem.
Before some of you shout out loud: Yes, I have read multiple forum threads (and various youtube videos) from people facing the same issue (and only coming up with flashing stock ROM). And yes, I'm kind of pissed by Samsung's protectiveness of their product. Just hating to have to deal with the tons of crap preinstalled and not having the choice Plus, I loved the Resurrection Remix on my previous phone...
I've been trying to flash twrp to my samsung a505fn and already succeeded to get the bootloader unlocked. But now I also ended up with the evil "custom binary (vbmeta) blocked by frp lock". It seems that the bootloader remains continuously locked although the OEM shows unlocked and I can't trick the system with changing the date or waiting 7 days.
Yes, okay, I know I can use Odin to flash the stock firmware and be back to point one - the ****ing stock ROM I so desperately try to get rid of. Did anybody find a way to recently flash Samsung devices with a custom ROM?
If so: how do you bypass this issue, as you can't simply flash twrp and then use the "RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip" file which would eradicate this problem... Anyone who can guide me on this rocky path?
Please help, I just want a decent OS... :crying:
Any help is welcome and again sorry, if I posted in the wrong place.
You have to remove on phone the FRP lock, what got activated when you registered your phone with Google.
Several videos exist on Youtube on how to do so.
Take note that some methods involve the complete loss of all user data.
You can install RR GSI

Thank you for your reply. That's what I have already tried. If you refer to a specific video, could you please give me detailed URL? I have found plenty of vids which got me nowhere and I am sick of trying random recommendations. And yes, I know how to google and yes, I know how to browse youtube... I expected these kind of helpful hints No offense intended

AFAIK an Android GSI can only get installed on devices that are fully Treble-compliant.
You check for Treble support by running the following command sequence:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.treble.enabled"
If the response is false, then the device isn't compatible with GSI and you shouldn't continue.
