Got my phone stolen..
Google doesn't give any help on removing google account.
Is there a way to remotely remove the google account from the stolen phone?
Says it's used market using my account so kinda in a hurry..
any methods will be fine.. no longer in my possession so ANYTHING!
please help..
What about changing your google password?
If you change your password, as mentioned, the account will no longer work on the phone without the new password. All of the data that has already synced will still be visible to whoever has your phone, but they will no longer be able to use your account.
Unfortunately there's probably not much else you can do. You can log into the Market on your computer and install some kind of phone tracking software, but it will have to be able to remotely enable GPS. You'll probably have to install the software before changing the password.

thanks for the advise..
as expected, google said change password as well, which I did, and they still somehow managed to access the account just yesterday.. lol..
just guess i'll have to delete it or something..
It might be worth giving this a try if you know the phone's still in use and you want to track it down!

Greetings. A friend bought 2 months ago a remi note 4. For an unknown reason he factory restored his mobile phone and now it is asking for google account that have previously connected with the phone... He knows nothing about his account. Tried with his name, tried with his mobile number for google account recovery but the person who created his account did not keep the credentials. Is there anything I can do? Because I don't want to send it to xiaomi and pay postage and the service fee. Thank you in advance.

What do you mean by "factory restored"?
Factory reset. Volume up + power. He wiped everything
If he wiped everything, then he will need to set up everything again. That should not involve being asked for the details of any previous account, because there should be no record of a previous account. However, if, on initial set up, he is asked whether he wants to set up the phone as a new phone, or whether he wants to restore a previous backup, then he should choose to set up as new.
I did that and asking for a Google account...

Well, then enter your google account details.
Read my first post... He don't know the account... I have the receipt the box and the phone. My only hope is Xiaomi authorized service?
I read the first post before answering at all. What is preventing him from entering his own account details? If that doesn't work, then he should reset the phone again, and start afresh.
He dont even know his email. He didnt know that he had an email lol. He just bought a phone. A friend created his account and he didn't keep the details. Stupid move I know. But this is the case.

Then create a new Google account for him, and he can login with the details of that account.
The phone needs a previous account that was used with this phone. New account is not working

Sorry, but I have never heard that before. Any phone can be set up to work with any Google account after a factory reset - unless we are not talking about Google accounts here. Maybe you should post screenshots or pictures of the login requests that you are seeing.

Hmmm ... seems to me that the phone was encrypted. You will have to format the data partition to remove the encryption. For this, you might need to install a custom Recovery, like TWRP.
Whether your job will be easy or not depends on what else the person who set up the phone did. If the bootloader is already unlocked and TWRP is already installed, then things will be relatively painless. Just reboot to TWRP, select "Wipe" -> "Format Data", and so on. If the bootloader is not unlocked or TWRP is not already installed, then you are in for an interesting time. You will need to read the threads about installing TWRP. Good luck!
Hello!
I'm a noob when it comes to the ins and outs of Miui as this is my first Xiaomi device, I've come from HTC and LG before
So, when I first got the phone I setup the Miui account, not putting my phone number in, got the phone all setup and started using it as normal. Now when I come to unlock the Bootloader I find the account needs a phone number associated with it and it's here I hit a brick wall.
When I try to edit my account to add a phone number I'm supposed to get a verification code to my registered email address which is a googlemail account. I've tried multiple times and I'm not getting this code, I've emailed Tech Support and they're slightly misunderstanding what I'm trying to achieve and not getting the fact there's no code for me to enter to edit the account and it's not in my junk/spam folder.
I've also tried the manual verification technique but that always comes back (as an SMS annoyingly!) that there's no associated device with the account.
I've just tried to setup another account using my work Exchange email address and no code but I'm pretty sure that'll be the work spam filter.
Has anyone else come across this and got any tips?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I'd try setting up a new gmail account and then set up a new Miui account using the new gmail account with the fone number this time.

Thanks. That's my next plan of action just so I can unlock the bootloader then go back to the original account.
I've had 2 more email dialogues with Xiaomi support and they just don't get it. :silly:
My nephew took delivery of a brand new phone, set a lock and then forgot it BEFORE he linked the phone to a Google account.
Is there any way to bypass this lock? I've done a full factory wipe/reset but I still get prompted for the code. The alternative is to login to the associated Google account bit of course there isn't one!
Help!
i can remove it remotly for a beer/coffe
My sister wants to switch to an iPhone and apparently she's lost access to her google account, she doesn't have the phone number anymore. Is there anyway to remove the account from the s21? I can try rooting it but dont know what to do after. Thanks!
