Question How to skip wifi/do offline setup after factory reset - Google Pixel 6

I was reading a thread about carrier unlocking pixel phones by taking out the sim then doing a factory reset and skipping mobile and wifi to do an offline setup but when I try I can choose skip mobile network but there's no skip option for the wifi, I have to connect to wifi or a mobile network or I can't continue with the setup, why is this? I have the pixel 6a with straight talk and most recent updates.

There's a button on the left hand side, called "skip'' and then in the other screen in the same place there "setup offline"

I seen a video of the Ukrainian guy and it's just like you said a skip the another setup offline but mine doesn't have that . It has an option to skip the mobile part since there's no sim in it, but when wifi comes up the skip button isn't there. I seen it on the guys video but when I do it it's missing.

I believe it forces connecting to wifi/some network now in order to check with Google to make sure it wasn't stolen and factory reset to remove the owner's Google account. Possible that this was an old exploit that's been patched out of more recent versions?

Recent updates. There is a way to SIM unlock but it will require adb knowledge. And to modify Device Setup.
If you are wondering how to bypass that, enter wrong password and you may get the "SKIP" button

[Q] Use Atrix without MotoBlur Account

Every once in a while I hear somebody mention using the Atrix without signing in to MotoBlur.
I did an exhaustive search, and I can't see this question answered anywhere.
Can I use my Atrix without signing in to/creating a MotoBlur account? I'd much rather just not have one.
I'm using mine without Blur. When I started, at the blur setup screen, typed Alt e Alt e Alt bluroff and now no need to login to blur. Just used gmail to import contacts and other apps for facebook
Wow didn't know you could do that...
Does anyone have more information on this? Do you press the ?123 button, then the Alt key, or you actually type Alt? Is there spaces in this? I cannot get it to work.. Thanks. Also do you type this in the New Account field?
I don't know why other people are having problems with this, I just skipped the sign in because I wasn't connected to any network and it didn't bother me again.

I don't see a "skip" button..
what is the benefit of not signing into a blur account? I've not used blur before and pick up my phone tomorrow so I'm about to find out.

If I remember right, I didn't have a data connection so it took me to a WiFi network choosing screen, and in the drop own menu there is an option to do it later.

Did you have a sim card inserted? When first starting up without a sim I can't log into it. The only option is to make an emergency call. The only card I have is activated, so it automatically connects.
I started it up with a Rogers SIM card before I unlocked it from Bell, so maybe that was what let me skip it.

I tried this method (Alt e Alt e Alt bluroff) for at least 30 mins with no success!
What I'm missing here?
I found a way to bypass the "no sim inserted screen" But bypassing motorblur using that method did not work for me.
HOW TO BYPASS "NO SIM INSERTED" IN MOTOROLA ATRIX:
-Power up the phone while holding "Volume Down" until "fastboot" appears in top of screen.
-Use the "volume down" button to navigate through booting options until you see "Boot Android (No Bp) then press "Volume Up".
-The phone will boot up right to the motorblur screen skipping the "Emergency Call/No SIM Inserted" one.
*blah* I don't want any association to Blurr if I can, though the remote wipe is very attractive, lol. Anyways, can't you press back? lol I'm not sure if I did that but I vaguely remember pressing something to skip it. I could have been like SilentStrike with my Rogers sim but it was already unlock when I did my 2nd factory reset.

Can the Motorola Atrix be updated without a Motoblur account?
I went into the OTA Update and when I tried to check for an update I got the following message:
"Social Networking account required
"com.android.setttings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate" is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button"
Can this phone be updated via USB from Motorola's website or do you have to create a Motoblur account?...

All of a sudden can't connect to any wifi

All of a sudden can't connect to ANY wifi. Sees them, says saved, but keeps trying but won't get past "saved." You can see the page of wifi options kind of blink like it's trying but nothing.
Have tried "forget", rebooting to safe mode, airplane mode, reboot after reboot, but the wifi indicator stays clear and says disconnected.
Hardware failure? Any ideas?

My next step would be to clear cache partition, then factory reset if that does not work.
How do you clear the cache partition?
Power down, then hold the power and volume down button simultaneously until the device boots. You'll arrive at a screen with an Android laying on it's back with it's belly open. Press the power and volume up simultaneously to display the recovery menu. Choose Wipe cache partition and respond Yes to the prompt.
cant connect to wifi
hello i have the exactl same problem after the nougat update suddenly my nexus 9 cant connect to wifi however it can connect to other wifi networks and through my phone hotspot i have tried a factory reset without any luck please any suggestion ?
Hi, I have exactly the same problem after the upgrade to Android N, arrived by OTA
I have done everything, starting from the ROOT with Nexus ToolRoot from the PC, but any luck!
My dubt is that my tablet was rooted already and, like that, I couldn't upgrade It by OTA to the 6.1. It opened the Recovery page and stop.
With Android N it works, but I have this problem with the WiFi now.
My second dubt is that I can go in recovery only using NexusToolRoot, but if I try from the table it Shows me the robot and "No Command FounD"
Some can help us?

Try the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfish...... With this tool you can also reinstall completely to Stock.

I hate to bring up an old thread but I just bought a Nexus 9 and it ran great. I installed an app that it must not have liked and it required me to do a factory reset. Now (during setup) it wont join my existing router. There is no skip button (which is completely ridiculous), but it does 'save' my password, and occasionally it says 'bad authentication'. I've tried rebooting routers, different routers, hot spots, clearing cache, etc. I've even tried various network settings within my router. Again, no luck. I've even successfully reflashed the OS using ADB sideload.
Current vers. is Nexus 9 32GB, Wi-Fi, 7.1.1 (N9F27M, Oct 2017).
Here's the kicker... once in a 'blue moon' it will connect to my router for a very brief moment. Long enough for it to attempt to contact Google servers. It then loses connection, as if it were shutting down it's own Wi-Fi connection internally. Sadly, a connection point is required to continue with setup which, again, is completely ridiculous...
I'm familiar with ADB and Fastboot. I've even tried Wugfresh's software with no luck. Is there any way of unlocking the tablet so I can try out different things? I'd be great if I could unlock the darn thing without having to go through the menus in the OS, but I have no access to them.
Anyone have any thoughts or experience something this strange? How did you fix it?

You can skip the whole setup process and don't need WiFi. At least I know you can with the latest factory image.

Thanks for the reply. Today, the tablets WiFi connected long enough to register it to my Google account so I could use it. I enabled developer tools in the 'settings' section and I also enabled 'OEM unlocking (allow the bootloader to be unlocked)' in the dev options.
I was extremely happy as it seemed to stay connected for quite some time. Then before you know it, the Wi-Fi shut down again and I get authentication error messages. Do you have a link for the latest factory image? I last flash was with the full OTA Image I found on Googles site (N9F27M, Oct 2017).
Should I flash again with a factory image instead because The OTA image doesn't give any type of 'skip Wi-Fi' button.
Thanks again!

Just Google Nexus factory image. That has all the images for all the Nexus devices. Just make sure you get the one for the n9. They're ones for WiFi only and ones for lte devices. So get the one for your device.

You can skip the setup wizard by tapping the 4 corners of the screen. Clockwise I think.

Good to know. If I get locked out again, I'll give it a try.
Just to add to the description of the problem, the WiFi light doesn't come on at all. Only once in a while it does and that's when I get connection (naturally). I also looked at the WiFi menu and this is the error I see under my connection:
Home_Connection
Saved [(1)
{ec:08:6b:blah:blah:blah:60=2412,-62};]
Network_Selection_Disabled_Association_Rejection =4
Network_Selection_Disabled_Authentication_Failure=4
Anymore suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks again guys. Really appreciate it.
I have the same issue as well.
I have the same issue. Tried two custom ROMs - 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 Android versions - then went back to the stock OTA version but still I'm having issues with the WiFi. Every so often it will allow me to briefly connect but it won't stay on for long. I'm using a Nexus 9 WiFi device. I've also noticed that the settings app doesn't respond all that well basically - including the normal power off/ restart features. I have to hard reset it by holding down the power button for 5 seconds.

Problem Solved

I have just encountered a problem after performing the dial in this thread from XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/us998-hidden-menu-lg-v30-v30-t3719219/page1
Just curious to find out all the band numbers my phone supports. But, After selecting one band it could not automatically switch to another.
And it has made the situation worse when i tried to do a factory reset from the SVC menu. Now i do not have the 4G network at all. No access to internet. Factory reset from the phone settings also failed to fix the problem.
Is there anything i can do do make my phone work normally again? Do i need to flash the KDZ file to restore to my default network settings? But i seem to be unavailable Now.
What can i do, guys, please help.
I did the steps in that thread this morning and the same thing happened to me. I was able to factory reset and the issue was fixed upon first boot.
You might try resetting again to see if it'll fix it.

I have tried several times and it did not work. thanks anyway.
contacted LG service, and they are talking nonsene:
quote:
"1 - Check your current settings. This is important to retain 3G data when moving out of 4G range. You can find this under Settings > Tethering & Networks > Mobile Network > Network Mode
2 - a menu will open automatically. Click on Phone Info and scroll down to where it says Pick Prefered Network Type.
3 - Press the drop down box and select the option that adds LTE along with your old options. (pick LTE/GSM/WCDMA to turn on 4G)
4 - your network will reconnect and you should now see a 4G icon appear in the top bar.
With android 5.0 you will find that 4G now appears correctly in the "preferred network mode" under Settings > Tethering & Networks > Mobile Network > Network Mode.
If by any chance that this did not work, then try this:
First go to the app *easy battery saver* then instead of super mode, Go back to *normal mode *. It will kick you back to your normal settings. If by any chance it doesn't work try this:
This method however is to fix and reset 4g in general, so it should work;
First of all download an app called "any cut" free from market. Then after it downloads and installs, go home screen and create a shortcut >then select > activities > and then select the "any cut" app. After that it'll send you to the app and from there you have to press on "activities" option and Scroll down until you see "LTE configuration" (its mostly the first one that starts with LTE). Then as you select that it will have created a shortcut action on the home screen. You then go to home screen and look for the shortcut you have created, it'll be called *lte configuration*. Open it and then press on setting initialization. Now, it will reset your lte settings and the phone will reboot. After that you should be able to be running 4g nice and clean.
If in case these didn't fix the issue, please contact your carrier. Typically frequencies and bands problems are network related. "

Your last option would be a restore through lg bridge. Its just going to reset everything back to normal. I accidentally did the same thing on my h932 and had to reset it. In my case LG bridge flashed the same software version but since the us998 is getting the 10c update it will update you to that version.

For me I had to add and select the T Mobile LTE APN via these instructions: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36660
Then it worked

Question Mobile data not working in Canada (Rogers)

I tried to changed APN manually to rogers but still data does not work, only call and text works. Is there a solution to this? I believe i got Pro 2 (cn with global rom installed)
I had the same issue, below is the APN setting on Rogers website, I've found that if you make the following changes, it will connect to 4G data (until you restart your device)​APN Type: replace "internet + mms" with "*"
MVNO: ROGERS
MVNO type: SPN
This will get you connected.
However, I ran into another problem after configuring the network this way. After restarting the device, the phone can no longer detect the SIM card, and has an error message prompting restart).
This is my problem after restarting:
Comparing with other phones, the auto detected APN Type is typically "default", but entering default will cause the connection issue right away. The "*" will allow you to run until device reboot.
I too would like help on how to resolve this. Seems more software than hardware problem since it only fails after boot.

@GSKC
I just tried your method looks like it works and as you said it doesn't work after reboot. However when I did "Network setting reset," I was able to connect to 4g again (but resets wifi passwords too). Hopefully there's a solution...
I noticed that this problem only happens if there is a SAVED wifi network WHEN the device BOOT up.
I did a factory reset, then enter the APN manually. I was able to connect to stable network.
I did a system restart, no issue. The phone reconnects to the network automatically after booting.
I connect to a wifi network. The phone still works fine.
I restart the device again, the problem comes back.
If I take out the SIM and only use the Wifi, the phone is also okay.
The only time when it doesn't work is when I have both, which is the normal use case.
Something is happening in the firmware between the wifi and the SIM during the boot sequence.
This problem exists on my Lenovo L70081, Legion Phone Duel 2 Pro, running OS 12.5.188 ST, updated using Rescue and Smart Assistant v5.8.0.25
Any help would be appreciated.

Im on the same OS version 12.5.188ST, my phone connected to data absolutely fine with no problems but after every few hours stop making or receiving calls. I did the following and its fine for some time now but I'm not sure whether this will work with every phone but no harm in trying :
settings.....cellular network and sim.....5G mode. By default (at least in my phone) it is on NSA, I first switched to NSA+SA but to no avail, than I switched to SA and vola problem solved, all incoming outgoing calls working bang on but I think now my phone doesn't go on 5g which is still not good but at least making calls as normal. Now, as I said, this procedure might not work for everyone but try it, cheers.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately setting the 5G setting didn’t help. I also tried disabling 5G but I still have the issue.
Was your OS able to read the APN from your SIM or did you have to enter the APN manually also?

There's currently two ROM available on Rescue and Smart Assistant:
L70081_ROW_SECURE_USER_Q00017.0_R_ROW_12.5.188_ST_210819_qpst
L70081_EE_SECURE_USER_Q00017.0_R_ROW_12.5.137_ST_210710_sec_qpst
What's the difference between ROW and EE rom?
Which would work best in Canada and US?
is ROW only updated in Asia and Pacific?
i sort of had this same problem with Tmobile. it would only connect to 3g . if i connected to the 4g or 5g network i lost everything . i was able to fix it using my ROOTED phone and an app in the playstore called network guru. I used that to turn off majority of the network bands and only left the ones listed for the phone. My service was immediately fixed and havent had any trouble since

I know how ya feel, I pestered TMobile for 2 weeks and they were no help. They kept trying to push me off to Lenovo who was absolutely no help at all. Id go thru their website which connects you to Motorola. Then they would tell me they don't support the phone because it's Lenovo and give me a link to follow. Id follow that link which led me right back to Motorola lmfao.
After 4-5 times of going thru that nonsense I finally got someone who knew what they were doing. They told me because this phone was never released in the US I need to go thru their European server for assistance. Screw that, I did some more research and got the idea of trying this from some ancient post I found on xda lol.
It's actually very easy as long as your phone is rooted. download the app, click the 3 dots and go into force control. Then adjust the carrier bands so only the ones supported by the phone are selected. Then reboot your phone and it should kick over to a working signal . If not ya might have to monkey around in the service menu using the dial code *#*#4636#*#*
Here's a few screenshots to give ya an idea and a link to a website with all the bands listed. https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/lenovo-legion-2-pro

I know how ya feel, I pestered TMobile for 2 weeks and they were no help. They kept trying to push me off to Lenovo who was absolutely no help at all. Id go thru their website which connects you to Motorola. Then they would tell me they don't support the phone because it's Lenovo and give me a link to follow. Id follow that link which led me right back to Motorola lmfao.
After 4-5 times of going thru that nonsense I finally got someone who knew what they were doing. They told me because this phone was never released in the US I need to go thru their European server for assistance. Screw that, I did some more research and got the idea of trying this from some ancient post I found on xda lol.

Hi everyone please forgive my ignorance of development but I really need help I'll explain ,about 2 months ago I was had I've had this email for 10 years ,I had two factor authentication on .I told Google over a 100 times and a period of 4 hours I did not recognize this device .Now around this time I met a new "friend" who told me to push build number 7 times and it would make my phone better .Now mind you I did not know and still do not know but I believe he clones my chip or something...all calls and texts are being intercepted ,Gmail accounts I create are useless I think they are entertaining themselves locking me out .I have switched new phones new carriers put my phone in someone else's name it doesn't matter no associated emails .they have full remote access and are in accessibility after factory data reset using calender clock and contacts ,I have 400 system apps I can not Uninstall, if I try to remove permissions it just leads me in circles it says other apps with this permission and 20 more apps show up its so frustrating ( which all apps want all permissions physical activity location sms.contacts ,location microphone camera files storage I have screen overlays for network my phone screen EVERYTHING ...why does my phone have a little dot like I'm being recorded constantly ? They take screens hots listen to calls .my roku even says Apple TV. No this guy has 50 cell phones literally a desktop and security cameras but lives in an abandoned house .he let's bits of info out like telling me about apks,,,,which I never wanted .I am unable to buy a malware remover because I can not enter any card info I never know if I'm on the real page of something .I am on some type of Google play for testers ??? This person has Linux and Apple. I currently have a simple Samsung ao3 and moto g pure .another topic of discussion is this .I live at a hotel where we have dish network but as well there is xfinity open signal that has no security and I live by a building of sea offenders in Houston..these guys can be doing anything ..this friend use to live here for a year ....during corona virus which makes me think hes had plenty timevto set up shop ,,,and hes friebd with several of those said sex offenders lord only knows what those guys are looking at undetected there for a while when I would make a call it would say i was connected to a TV. Like casting .??? This guy has an xfinity wifi box that's busted open and I believe he's running my hotels wifi two blocks up the street to him .and I know my hotel with an app said that there were 4 wifi signals for my hotel which it's suppose to only be one .I know this is crazy sounding and I've been embarrassed time and time again in the phone store told I'm crazy .but I know what I know and I'm far from crazy .I have a Gmail that is connected to Google workspace ? Chrome has red arrow i can never update .I'm so tired please any info or light you can shed on my subject would be greatly appreciated
A terribly complicated situation.
If all this is true, I feel sorry for you.
A quick and easy fix.
forget and do not use previous email accounts,
remove the SIM card,
reset the phone to factory settings,
boot the phone and configure it, but don't connect any wi-fi network, and don't configure google account,
turn off the phone, insert the SIM card and boot the phone,
connect to the hotel's WiFi network (don't turn on connection saving) or better yet, turn on your SIM card's data connection, if you have that tariff,
set up a NEW n.p. account on gmail, but through a web browser, not through the gmail app,
if you see that everything works fine and you have no problems, then you can set up a google account if you need one,
NEVER enable debug mode in the developer options and don't listen to any advice from "friends"; you now have advisors on the XDA forum,
never install apps from outside the google store.

Relax, that only shows there are more notifications from apps (well, with 400 as you told it's no surprise).
As you have two phones, it might prudent to follow @ze7zez advice, start a new (phone) life on one of them with a "different" identity (aka account). See how that goes...
Don't despair, it might be a steep learning curve - just come back and ask
PS: Use also paragraphs, please Your text was incredibly hard to read

Hi Sigmund. I have done all of the above but yes debug mode is always on your right .and it says Rev 1.0 I read that Google released that in 2008 ? This is so messed up that was released in 2008 .can not fully reset because they are in accessibility settings with calender clock and emergency contacts .this has been 7 phones now I NEVER TURNED ON THE WIFI yet it connects without my knowledge I have earthquake alerts? I live in Texas we don't have those lol but several times ambet alert goes off incessantly and nobody around me had theirs go off ..this has been traumatizing I've lost my account of ten years its down right criminal that google let's these thing transpire.thank you for the advice about another browser!
Does anybody have any thing I can download to remove remote access for android ?? Tired of being spied on and I am unable to enter card info due to them stealing info .
The user is prob using remote debugging type of feature. Disable all dev options, run a full wipe, do not restore anything.
If you do not know what you are doing, never turn on dev options

Oi, let's try to break it down into smaller parts (just to avoid any confusion):
I was referring to circle at the end, position 7 - that shows there are more notifications from other apps. (you got that, right?)
Now you are probably referring to position 2, the gear?

First of all, if you do a full wipe: your data, contacts, emails, pictures and everything else will be gone...
You okay with that? I guess a firm "yes" here, besides you said you have 2 phones, so you can try that on one.
To reset a phone you go into settings, for me it looks like this:
1 settings
2 system
3 advanced
4 Reset options
5 erase all data (factory settings)
However, I am using a different phone and a different android (called LineageOS), so it might totally look different for you.
It differs quite often (eg samsung always feels weird to me). If you cannot find it, let us know what phone you want to reset.
After reset, best follow the list by @ze7zez

Not needed, a factory reset will kill that anyway.
PS2: Out of curiousity - how did you find your way into this nerdy place called XDA?
