I really hope Google changes this stupid security feature, or at the very least be able to deactivate the phone remotely. Security features should be secure yet practical this doesn't seem practical and the average user probably would have no idea to do so

Also does this effect Nexus 7 2012? Just sold it and all I did was flash stock image and relock
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Personally, I feel these new features are beneficial and excellent for deterring theft. The problem is, Google has not done the best job at making these significant new steps publicly known. The same is applied to the changes with re-locking the bootloader. Past practices don't apply any longer. The features are practical if the instructions for use or disabling are visible. In the past, a factory reset was all that was needed. Now, your Google account must be removed first, before the reset. Password change isn't required as long as your account is removed prior to resetting.

As for your Nexus 7, I am unsure. You will find out for sure if the new owner is unable to access it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
while I do agree that security features are necessary, and they sure have helped curb phone theft, I think Google needs to have a way to prevent users from locking themselves out of their own damn phone. For instance I changed my password 2 days ago. Tonight decided to flash T-mobile firmware with wifi calling...Well now I just remembered that I am locked out of my own devices for 72 hours. So basically I am out of a phone for about a day. This is unacceptable, I understand security, but once again a product shouldn't be so secure that it makes consumers not able to use the product they paid for. Hopefully I can get my phone up and running by tomorrow. I forgot what time I reset my password and I kinda need my phone for work, to know whether I should come in at 2PM or 5PM lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
yeah - ... same here. I just went to flash Preview M. -_- ... Never knew there was a 72 hour hold. I'm now without a phone for... 2 days. really?

Gah. Why can't google offer a security step where we can go online and unlock our phone?

This is absurd! I wanted to side load 5.1.1 OTA, so I forgot my Gmail password and had to reset, now I'm facing the same issue. I am without a phone for the whole weekend! There has to be away around this! Does anyone know?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Sorry bro. Welcome to the club. :/ I'm on my second day without my N6. Terribly sad. ha! First world problems eh?

I've contacted google twice already, and they can do nothing. it's a mandatory waiting time. Why? I have no idea.

What I don't understand is why wasn't this WIDELY known before updating the security like this. Well ... maybe it was. I just sure as hell had 0 idea.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Attrition:
I just got off the phone with Google, the lady had no clue what I was trying to tell her and she knows nothing about the 72 hours period. She resolved that my device was defective as the looping keeps re-occurring and I should send it in for repair. I told her I'll reconsider after the 72 hours lock down.

Interestingly enough I am able to receive calls from people and able to answer and talk, so its 1% at least usable. >>

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob2300nx:
How did you downgrade without soft bricking your device? I seem to remember going back to 5.0 can brick it.

Ok after some reading the bricked devices occurred due to changing the bootloader.

I wipped, flashed 5.0, went through setup screens, then wipped and flashed 5.1.1. I am getting the same verification loop! Any help would be appreciated

Hi, did you have to use your old password prior to changing it that was associated with that device or you used the new password? Please let me know as soon as possible. Can you elaborate on the process after the 72 hours..? :good::good:

his is how I did a bypass..

Your on the main screen lg go to accessibility go to switch access go to settings mark key combo overview

Then you have to get close to a xfinity internet access .. Once it connects it should prombt to internet explorer by itself .. Then you click the combo overview button you pushed .. Then go to dual window select file manager .. Then you have access to files.. If you have apps on a SD you can open them up.. I used tsf shell launcher .. Then this tricky part you have a few seconds to get to settings.. Once in setting you add account and then boom you can use the phone as if it was the second account.. I can call text .. Internet only on WiFi

Two points:

2). You can't ADB sideload an OTA that is older than the OS installed on your device.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datsun.510:
Hey everyone. When I first got my Nexus 6 I ran into this problem unknowingly. I had even changed my password that same day, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed a custom recovery. I did do a backup but only of the system partition, not data, so the backup i made wasn't helping any. After flashing my first ROM, I was locked out of my phone. I called google but there was nothing they could do but told me to wait the 72 hours. I had just cut my sim card down to nano from micro so now I was stuck with the nexus 6 and no backup phone.

The problem:

The main issue now with flashing new ROMs is that you MUST removed your account from the phone before a factory reset of any kind, including changing ROMs.

The solution:

I downloaded simpleAOSP 5.0 and 5.0 Gapps. I flashed it and booted up my phone. I logged into my gmail account, after successfully logging in I went through the start up screen, went to accounts, removed the account I just added and then flashed a 6.0 ROM.

That seem to do the trick for me. I was able to reinstall any ROM and sign in without a problem.

Remember:

Remove your accounts prior to erasing your phone or changing ROMs.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jadefalkon:
Thanks, after 4 hours of thinking I screwed something up I decided to hit the forums.

I then used Wugs toolkit to flash back to the latest stock image, I think im done flashing for a bit now.....lol

Nexus 6 - 72 hr lockout [SOLVED] sorta

!!THIS IS FOR NEXUS PHONES ONLY!!

Simple(ish) workaround (sorta) to solve the 72hr lockout:

1. on a computer download and install "Nexus Root Toolkit" - you will have to follow the walkthrough and read carefully to set up the root toolkit program. Once the program is set up for your phone model and build release make sure your phone is connected to the computer via USB an completely power off the phone. Hold down the volume down and power buttons on your phone at the same time until it boots to the bootloader menu. Now select the "Flash Stock + Unroot" button in the toolkit program and select Android 5.0 from the dropdown menu. Check the box to automatically download and install and the box for no force encryption (optional). Follow the prompts until you have a phone running on Android 5.0. Use the phone until your 72 hours is up and then you can use the root toolkit to flash back to the latest Android release or install a custom rom immediately.
