Well, I'm pretty new to this stuff but yesterday I had a friend bring me an HTC desire that she bought on CL from someone. At the time of purchase she said it worked and then not even an hour later it was locked and they wouldn't answer her calls. Well I told her I would took a stab at it, so within a short period of time I found the OTG method. Well...like I said I'm new to all of this stuff and I don't have any OTG accessories at all so I went online to see who I could buy one from retail. staples website SAID they had one in stock but they closed at 6:00pm. it was 5:10. I hopped in the car and made it with 20 mins to spare...except they didn't have it. I checked best buy, walmart, target, hell I even went to car toys. No one had one, last store I checked online was Radio shack. I hadn't even thought of them until I seen them pop up in an ad on google, They had them in stock but...FML they closed at 6 also. Well I was kinda bummed I wasn't going to get to try this out until this morning so I kept at it. I googled every damn thing I could thing of to find different results. Eventually I stumbled upon the software for XTC 2 Clip, XTC 2 Tool. I didn't honestly know exactly what it was at first because I'm new to all of this and didn't know those box deals even existed but after a few mins I did figure out what it was actually for. On the main app screen I hit "Read phone info", it pulled up the info on the phone. Then I noticed there was a tab on the side for terminal and I was like ahh that's pretty cool. Well I had the screen lit up and decided to hit the TEST MENU button. It pulled up a menu almost like settings. From there I figured out if I hit battery and then hit the back button within the menu it would take me to settings. From there I tried to do a soft reset but it grayed out the button at first. So I decided I would enable ADB since I hadn't had it before now and then I also enabled bootloader unlock. I played around in there for a bit and it eventually let me hit the reset button.

If anyone cares to try this out and see if it works for them as well that would totally be awesome :P and if this method was already found please let me know as well. If it was a known method I honestly didn't know at all, I was prepared to drive to radio shack at 10am PST to get a cord and connect my flash drive haha.
[Desire 626 General] 20twins10:
Do you have links for the software? I'm not unable to unlock my boot loader. Maybe this will work.
[Desire 626 General] DaRkSkYxP:
Could you possibly give more detailed instructons?
[Desire 626 General] frankgambit:
unlock boot-loader u can do via https://www.htcdev.com/

the x2 clip tool is hardware based tool that can bypass s-on on the htc hardware, so if u buy the hardware u can use or pay someone who has this x2clip to do bypass for you.
[Desire 626 General] 20twins10:
htcdev method doesnt work on the Verizon version.
[Desire 626 General] DaRkSkYxP:
We can not unlock the bootloader without disabling frp because we can not get the correct token needed to generate the unlock code. Hopefully the original poster will give a more detailed explanation.
[Desire 626 General] E36Nick90:
hey sorry, I hadn't been looking at this very often. What I was referring to was bypassing an FRP lock on a phone that you did not have the info to. I have a friend who bought a desire 626s off of CL and when she reset it she ended up locked out and didn't have the guy who she bought it from's number anymore. I used just the software for XTC2 tool and a usb cord to my PC. using the XTC 2 tool program I was able to bring up the test menu while at the FRP activation screen when normally nothing should be accessible, after clicking battery under the test menu and then hitting the back button it would glitch out and I would end up in settings. The options to reset the phone from inside settings were initially grey'd out and not accessible. Trying to devise another way to reset this phone I turned ADB on and enabled bootloader unlock so that I had a backup plan just in case I couldn't figure out a way to get the phone to reset from the glitched out settings menu. I don't remember exactly how I ended up getting the reset button to become clickable, I don't actually own this phone I was just trying to fix it for a friend otherwise I'd try and duplicate it again. I suppose I could see if it works on my M8? So to clarify, mentioning adb and bootloader oem unlock was more of a backup plan to try and bypass FRP activation just in case I couldn't get the glitched out settings menu to allow me to reset the phone. (for those that are not familiar with the OTG FRP bypass method essentially you stick an otg thumbdrive in your phone and the file explorer will pop up, there is a file you run and it will allow you to access your phones settings and from there you reset the phone. It was explained to me that resetting the phone with no account synced to it will remove the FRP once the reset is complete which is why I was looking to reset the phone once I got into the settings menu) Hope this helps explain what was going on in this post and hopefully it will help at least one person. *to clarify just a little further, I only used XTC2 tool to bring up the test menu. I wasn't really sure what I was looking for when I downloaded that program, it honestly was more of a fluke thing that I even discovered it. I'm sure any computer program that can bring up the test menu over usb will work to do this exact same thing until they patch the bug hitting the back button from the battery menu.
[Desire 626 General] frankgambit:
anyone that has access to xct2clip can bypass s-off security system and is able to turn s-off on any htc phone so anyone that got such tool could make a copy of system.img and make availible to others as this as far as i know is the file i need to continue to cook a new custom room to get full root control to our phone if anyone has such tool please could they make a copy of their system files for htc 626 a32_ul qcom 410 64 bit system to be precise as i possible can not the htc626s a32e_ul qcomm 210 type phone, i think with system files for htc 626 qcomm410 type i can build a custom rom for this phone. but is a catch 22 cant copy files without root, or without this xct2clip that is able to bypass s-on .

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

and this exploit isnt no accident it is a method junnipter took advantage of in past by shorting a contact between sdcard and circuit board to gain access to bypass s-on, which i think is no longer available without device such as xct2 clip. that has taken advantage of this bypass, probability the contact that was used to bypass s-on has now got plastic undercover over it . would be my guess.
[Desire 626 General] rapidninja:
Just wanted to let you know that I tried this as well and "SUCCESS" so thank you for the help and Happy Holidays!:good:;)
[Desire 626 General] jeffram:
I just used this on an HTC OPM9200 (Desire 626) and it worked like a charm. I was having a Helluva time until I stumbled across this thread. Thank you!
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Same problem, no dice

I'm working on a Desire 626s with the same problem and have installed the XTC2 program as suggested by the op, but clicking "Test menu" under the terminal tab doesn't seem to have any effect, so I'm guessing this is just another dead end. I heard that this device's original stock ROM was a Kitkat one, and since Kitkat doesn't have any of this nonsense, would flashing the original stock ROM effectively sidestep the problem?

Any ideas?
[Desire 626 General] 723i:
I figured out a way to get past frp but I'm still deciding weather I should share how to or not... I don't want the exploit to be used wrongly.
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
getting to the bottom of this

What did you have in mind? Would downgrading to a KitKat Rom work or can Roms not be flashed when the phone is in that state?
[Desire 626 General] frankgambit:
if you are able to gain root access to your phone you should share, root access i think is fundamental right one should have to make use of the hardware we have paid for , instead of the limited use of the availible hardware set by htc, if u are not able to gain access to rooting your phone then you have found nothing and just leading ppl down a path that doesn't do anything to gain root access, as for your part saying ... I don't want the exploit to be used wrongly. wtf almost every android phone and iphone has root access too root do you think the other 99% phones that have root access availible are being used wrongly.

rofl you either found root method or you found nothing.
[Desire 626 General] 723i:
It just uses adb I never needed root access.
[Desire 626 General] ivantha:
Can eny one creat a cm rom 4 htc d626p
[Desire 626 General] revulv:
Just wanted to say a big thanks! As a metro employee I had a customer bring me in an FRP locked Desire 626s. I tried USB-OTG to no avail.. After a few days of scratching my head and trying to figure out how you got the XTC2Clip software to recognize your device (when on the home setup screen) I had about given up.

Thats when I found out opening the RUU executable (flashes the stock metro rom) automatically puts the phone into debug mode before flashing it.

BINGO! After opening the RUU to flash the phone I kept it open in the background, clicked read phone information on the software, a usb debugging window popped up on the phone and from there it was gravy!

On a side note: The option to reset the phone is grayed out when entering the settings menu. You need to click Okay as quickly as possible upon entering the factory reset screen (before it grays itself out), a prompt to factory reset will very quickly pop up and disappear, so also be quick to click confirm on this prompt as well. (I'm talking trigger finger fast, it took me like 25 tries.)
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
no go

Could you be more specific about what you did in the XTC Tool because this is not working for me?

Couldn't this just be fixed by flashing a stock KitKat ROM for this phone? If so, where would I need to go to find one of those?
[Desire 626 General] djkid:
I Found another way to disable FRP.

I downloaded the XTC 2 V 1.17 but that didn't work. So the software told me to update it to V 1.19.

But this time while on the setup screen i had accidentally left it on the emergency call screen.

So launch XTC 2 v .11.19(Run as Administrator) then as soon as the software turns on. Look at the phone screen. while on the emergency call. It will ask you for "Allow USB Debugging" Just check mark Always and then OK

If it doesn't. just try clicking for read phone info. then it should ask for USB debugging.

Next Open up the ADB Folder ( Need to have ADB installed on the computer)

Then Run the Following commands in adb .

adb devices

adb shell netcfg

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1

then reboot and you have just bypassed FRP on HTC Desire 626s running 5.1 Firmware
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
FIXED!!!!

Ah ha! That did it! Excellent work.
[Desire 626 General] neo_on3:
i need your help. would you give me a step by step guide about this solution i've been stuck with frp for a while now, i have an 626 htc desire
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Video tutorial

You're in luck. I packaged the solution found in post 19 into a video tutorial.
[Desire 626 General] neo_on3:
still stuck htc 626 desire

hi! i saw the video, i've downloaded the files. i installed the adb drivers and i got the "allow usb debug ". but when i type "devices" in the terminal window i doesnt show any device in it. what im i doing wrong. it s possible that doesnt work for my 626 since you are talking about 626s and that may be a different thing.
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Check your drivers

It is a fairly standard protocol, so the fact that it isn't the exact same model should not matter. The first thing you'll want to check is to make sure that the device's driver is installed correctly. If you open Windows's device manager, do you see anything highlighted?
[Desire 626 General] neo_on3:
hi again. i see an android composite adb interface under device manager. i used adb installer 2.0 to install and check for device status from htc and it says ok.
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Are they okay?

Are there any errors indicated for those devices in device manager?
[Desire 626 General] neo_on3:
little closer

. i downloaded htc drivers for 626 desire. that fixed the no devices found in the terminal window. then i found the mistakes in the command line. i was copying the commands from youtube's video description and it has an adb at the beginning of each. and after i fixed that everything ran like a charm. after i restarted i got the phone working. thanks for the help you are the very best. now i have a phone again. what i liked more about the video is the introduction about "the not so desirable phone"(LOL). you 've been really helpful.
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Fixed

Ah, good catch. I just copied and pasted from the post while writing up that description and forgot to take out the redundant "adb" verbage in the commands, but it has now been fixed; thanks for bringing that to my attention.
[Desire 626 General] dwegiel:
How to perform this successfully:

1) Run XTC Tool. Get it to enable ADB mode on the device by using the terminal and attempting to open test mode.

2) Open CMD and run the following command:

Then enable OEM unlocking. At this stage you can be done, by flashing TWRP and a custom ROM, but for factory reset's sake, read on.

3) TIMING IS KEY. Go back to the main settings screen. Open backup and reset. Tap factory data reset and QUICKLY tap the location on the bottom where the OK button later pops up (but is grayed out). Go back and repeat this a few dozen times. Once you time it correctly, the device will reset, and FRP will be off. Confirmed functional on this 626s running 5.1
[Desire 626 General] isolutions-micronesia:
This WORKED for me!! I didn't have to use XTC to get debugging mode. Instead I just ran the stock RUU.exe file to get debugging mode. After getting debug mode, I ran the commands:

adb devices

adb shell netcfg

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1

Restarted the device......waaammmbaaam!! Thank you!!! YOU ****ING ROCK!!
[Desire 626 General] djkid:
Glad ot worked out.
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Choices beyond the 626s

Good find. Being free of that XTC program will be nice if I ever have to work on one of these again. Do you know what the word is on this procedure working for other HTC devices?
[Desire 626 General] isolutions-micronesia:
[MENTION=5170671]Bill720[/MENTION]

Hi. I have yet to try another HTC model, but you be sure that will be the first thing I try if I get another crack at it.

Hopefully someone can test it on other models and share with us any results.
[Desire 626 General] chrisdirosa77:
I'm new new 2

Did u root that?[/
[Desire 626 General] truwrxtacy:
has anyone tried to use the XTC program on anay other HTC phone? I'm trying it on the HTC Desire 520, but i cant get it to prompt me for the USB Debug even when i'm on the emergency call screen
[Desire 626 General] isolutions-micronesia:
[MENTION=4633342]truwrxtacy[/MENTION]

Try downloading the RUU file for your and run it to get the debugging prompt. Let us know if it works.
[Desire 626 General] truwrxtacy:
?? How would running a RUU get the debugging prompt? i'm confused.
[Desire 626 General] isolutions-micronesia:
HTC compiles thier roms into *RUU.exe. find the right one for your phone. Leave your phone at the Google sign in verification. Plug your phone using your micro usb to your pc. You should already have drivers taken care off. Then just run the RUU file (don't go thru the installation...Just stop when you get the debug mode prompt on your phone)

Hope that helps.
[Desire 626 General] mrll2:
thank you working good with my metro pcs device on 5.1

Hi guys!

Successfully removed FRP in a Htc M9 Verizon with the video tutorial :good:

Thanks everyone for your support ! ;)
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
(another) Breakthrough!

So you got this working on the One? Was it running the latest system software? This could represent a massive breakthrough.

Can anyone else confirm that this method works on phones other than the Desire 626s?
[Desire 626 General] searius:
I am running version 3.10.605.7 which is lollipop 5.1
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
speed & power

Do you think it would work if the phone was running Marshmallow?
[Desire 626 General] MoonLight2987:
I am running Marshmallow (6.0.1) on an HTC Desire 626s and this doesn't work. I am stumped. I wish I could find a way to get by the FRP because it is ANNOYING! I want to use this phone! I recently found this phone in a field I was mowing and I tried like hell for a week to return this phone to its rightful owner to no avail. When I do have the phone connected to the computer it only shows up as 0PM92 not My HTC or anything else.
[Desire 626 General] Rexton270:
Guys.... Had this bloody FRP thing on my HTC One A9.

Was strugling couple of days, with any possible tutorials to no avail.

Just now flashed ROM from .zip on SD card an voila... Phone is up and working!!!
[Desire 626 General] SLLogan:
I have found how to get around the FRP on HTC Desire 626s running Marshmallow. If I ever find the time I will make a video tutorial and upload the two files you need.
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Which one?

Did you use the XTC/ADB method that many have reported success with or did you find something different?
[Desire 626 General] SLLogan:
Completely different. Didn't need a PC at all. Today I'll get around to posting the method when I'm done with work.
[Desire 626 General] djkid:
I also found out. if using xtc tool. only ver. 1.19 is working to get the notification for adb. so do not update if it prompts too.
[Desire 626 General] Bill720:
Don't update XTC!

Yeah, I forgot to mention that in my previous follow-up. Newer versions of the software are completely broken, so 1.19 is the best (and possibly only) way to get it done.
[Desire 626 General] astromanic:
Can someone help send me v 1.19? Can't seem to find it anymore. Thanks!

Nevermind, was just a problem with chrome downloading it. thanks!

I just tried do do this to my 626 Metro PCS and my phone is stuck on this screen. Can it be fixed?[IMG="This is where my screen is stuck"]https://1drv.ms/i/s!AndJKkwsfUNJpE6rc95altUHnnEF[/IMG]

Security Warning. If you flash this phone with any rom that was not officially released by HTC you take the risk of releasing your personal financial information to unknown sources. This is the screen my phone is stuck at.
[Desire 626 General] indnracn2:
SLLogan were you able to take some time out and upload the files. Or is anyone able to remove FRP from 6.01?
[Desire 626 General] zaasaa:
Can you explain this step: ' Open up the ADB Folder ( Need to have ADB installed on the computer)'
[Desire 626 General] djkid:
Yea. Google adb everywhere. Then you can run adb from any folder
[Desire 626 General] zekzekzek:
sorry I'm late to the party but I was going through this process and kept getting stuck on shell netcfg.

some quick googling landed me on this "netcfg removed in Android 6" from Github. It said netcfg was replaced with "ifconfig"

here are the updated steps that worked for me on a HTCD200LVW Verizon phone.

devices

shell ifconfig

shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1

This is what I saw on XTC 2 Tool for "shell ifconfig" (sorry for the " [*removed*] " tags. I just wanted to remove some potentially identifiable hardware numbers):

Thank you for the information

Thanks for sharing! I haven't had a chance to try this lately, but if I do, I'll definitely keep it in mind. Any ideas as to what the scope (compatible versions of Android and hardware) of it is?
[Desire 626 General] phonecapone:
Some very clever ways to bypass this devices FRP in this thread. I'm glad I am modding out a 626s right now for a client else id never came across any of this. I think it's safe to say these methods will work on other devices out there as well. Some of the apps that bypass FRP use some of these methods mentioned already i know.
[Desire 626 General] zekzekzek:
I tried it on a HTCD200LVW (verizon model) running android 6.0.1. That was the only phone I was trying to bypass FRP on fortunately.

Cheers!
[Desire 626 General] phonecapone:
Nice! I will give it a try as well on any more 6.0 models I come across.
