[Nexus 6  General] GaloneG:
Im on 5.1. When my samsung j200f boots up to the welcome screen I click "English", this sends me to sign in to my wifi, I do. Then it asks me to sign in to my email address this is what it says, "Verify your account", "This device was reset. To continue sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device." I sign in with my Google account and my password, it then takes me to "By signing in you agree to the I click "ACCEPT" The screen says "Checking Info..." THEN THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. It takes me back to "Select Wifi network". Its like a loop. I have tried other Google email I have but same thing. I have wiped cache, factory reset and this is the same thing all the time. I am lost. Please help. Any ideas would be very welcome.

Nexus 6 6.0.1 FRP + Bootloader LOCKED ... any solution ?

[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
or just tap the four corners at Setup and bypass Setup entirely, then just add an account. I fell victim to having to reset my password recently, and got locked out of my phone. This was my solution, fast and easy. Enjoy!
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Ask in the Galaxy Grand Prime forums. This is the Nexus 6 area, and our solutions likely won't work on your device.
[Nexus 6  General] gideonlfc:
I was thinking about this but I doubted whether it'll work.

I'm glad to see it worked for u.
[Nexus 6  General] Ajlightsey69:
I was also hit with the FRP scam. But it gets better. Upon trying to reset google. I came across the interesting fact that my g4 has no accessibility option under language. Can someone please tell me why and how to fix it. And if there is another way to FRP THIS THING. Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Calling FRP a scam is a bit harsh, don't you think?

If you want answers for your G4, you'll need to ask in the G4 forums. But you also need to be prepared for the very real possibility that there is no solution for your device other than entering the proper credentials. Which is how it should be.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Not really to be honest. If you think about it for a min. Something like this really doesnt do much good in an opensource system and google knows it. The biggest advantage of android is also the biggest security issue.

As long as anyone can see the code then they can find ways around it. Android will never bee really secure until they lock all the holes and that means things like root and xposed will be dead and the whole OS will be locked down with locked bootloaders and the extra chip security that wont boot if anything has been changed.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
What Google knows or doesn't know is nothing more than speculation on your part. You are correct however that if the code is visible it can be worked around. So what do you propose as an alternative for FRP, since we cannot go back to the "wild west" days of 2010-2011?
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Not exactly sure what you mean about the wild west days. I nor anyone I have ever known has ever needed something like this.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The "wild west" of Android was when Android 2.x was a thing. Android was far more open than it is now. Slowly Google has been pulling parts out of the system in order to combat the issue of manufacturers and carriers not updating devices, which you already know. Google's actions indicate their belief that such anti-theft measures are necessary, and I'm inclined to agree with them. So, since we cannot go back to a time when there was no FRP since everyone from Google on down is concerned about device security, what do you propose as an alternative?
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
It's nothing more then fear mongering really. Yes I am aware about the oem and carriers not updating and nothing Google can do will do anything about that. They can't force them to do anything really.

Just because Google thinks something doesn't mean it's right. Just look at material design. They think it is great while it is openly laughed at by most.

The best security people have is common sense.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Your post speaks a lot but says nothing. You're dodging the question that has been asked twice already. Kindly answer it.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I did. There is only one thing that will protect people. Common sense. Don't lose your bloody phone. Who loses a $1000 dollar item? If it gets stolen (not sure how that would happen either) the device gets wiped right away anyway. I mean a full reset that erases that anyway. So having something like FRP is just another useless feature. Google has been on a roll with those.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Common sense is not a viable alternative, because the bulk of the human feces is flat out stupid and is fortunate to not yet become extinct. Just look at the Pokemon Go blogger who, at night in New York City, got mugged and had three of his four phones stolen. While a lot of his fans are pooh poohing because he got mugged, the only thought that came to mind is that the guy deserved it for a) doing a Pokemon Go blog at night, b) openly displaying multiple phones, and c) not having a group of friends with him.

It's because of the stupid people like the Pokemon Go blogger that you have Google pushing things like FRP. So, your alternative really isn't an alternative, even though it does answer my question.

Because of the bulk of humanity being a bunch of idiots in general, Google will keep pushing FRP. I won't deny that FRP seriously makes things difficult for XDA members, but if it makes things difficult for XDA members - people who happen to have some brains - it must be damn near impossible for the bulk of humanity.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
The only thing is makes difficult is keeping the data on the phone. That is not what people care about when they steal phones.

I have dealt alot with stolen devices at a place I used to work at.

When a device is stolen here is what happens.

1. You steal the device

2. Remove the sim card

3. Completely factory reset the device.

3a. If it is protected then use download to flash the stock image which removes the protection.

3b. If that doesn't work then jtag it.

The last ones are even offered at many stores. You would be amazed how easy it is to get a service center to really wipe a device clean.

Then you are good. Alot of places don't even care if it is locked as they will just parts it out anyway.

Agreed. He did deserve it. You do something stupid like that then you accept the outcome.

I have lived in many of the hardest areas in the country including the Bronx. Yet have never had my device stolen. Did one or two try? Sure but if you are willing to stand up for yourself then you would be amazed at how scared people really are.

[MENTION=6134708]ahmedmohd001[/MENTION]: Wrong forum perhaps? This is a Nexus 6 forum, not Samsung. The Samsung FRP bypass method is well known, and will not work on the Nexus 6 because the Nexus 6 lacks the Samsung app store and only has the Play Store. A Nexus 6 on FRP lockout cannot access the Play Store.

Hey everybody. I've been following the forum for a while and I have the Pioneer 8400BHS. I have a 2000+ pure RMS system set up and I like control over my subs, rear and front speaker sound. Is there a Android Double Din that's good enough to replace it yet? I've been debating on selling it for about $300 and getting a Android but I'm really picky because I need speed and sound quality.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Hi guys,

i feel pretty unlucky with my H815.

Last thread i opened was about random reboots and stuff.

This Thread is about Airpockets under the display glass.

Today i found out that my phone has little airpockts right below and next to the earpiece speaker, picture attached.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened to the phone today, so i guess this might again be a problem LG is responsible for.

These airpockets are not only disturbing the look of the phone but also make me feel really uncomfortable about using it for a longer period of time.

I am a little afraid that something might happen to my display when using it too much.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

My next steps will be to send an email to LG and than send it back in.

I am really really disappointed by the build quality of the Phone, if something else happens, i guess i will switch to another premium smartphone :(

I will keep you updated,

greetz

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
So i send an email to the LG Customer Support.

The answer is not quiete good.

They offered me that i can send in my phone for a warrantycheck.

I feel a little dissapointed by LG's Customer Support, this respond just isn't what i would expect when i pay 700€ for a phone.

Well at least i know i might never buy a LG-Product again, this is just not what i call good service.

Don't get me wrong, i love this phone, its awesome i'm just disappointed by the build quality and the customer support...

Next thing i will do is take it back to the retailer, to maybe get a fast solution.

Will keep you updated.

Hi, I just wanted do know if there's a way I can change the size of the /system becuase it uses almost half of the phone's storage.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Apparently, only the I9500 can resize its partitions, and that can only be done through use of a PIT file. However, in my opinion it's not worth doing, and on all the Qualcomm devices, impossible to do.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
Hi,

Just the addition. It's impossible to resize partition. But, the only thing to know: Samsung reserves 1/8 of total storage (2 from 16 GB ) for cache partition. It's unnecessary for most people because cache partition in most devices are 200-500 MBs.

I9500 devices that shipped in all regions and in China are different. You can't use full Chinese firmware in International devices and vice versa without a PIT file (International/Chinese). Installing Chinese PIT might reserve more space for user data (11.8 GB compared to 8.9 GB in International one), but it has several disadvantages.

First, is you can't install any custom ROM that is a block-build based installer (by patching system partition). It instantly fails because mount points of International PIT and Chinese PIT are completely different.

Second, if you do a full Chinese firmware install with ODIN on International devices and you don't remove sboot.bin from the archive and re-pack it, you'll end yourself with Chinese bootloader that pretty hard to be 'vanished' in standard way of installing firmware.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxiordoqui:
Hello folks, im kinda desperate about this situation. I think i bricked the phone and everytime i try to boot it up it goes straight to the bootloader showing the following message "SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED: Your device didn't update succesfully. Use the verizon repair assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update" . I've been looking for that "Verizon repair assistant" software everywhere over the internet without any luck. (Seems to be included on a CD). The phone is on the latest BOG5 5.0.1 Verizon's official firmware. I bought the phone as a Manufactured refurbished "unlocked" on Ebay and it came with that software version. Surprisingly when i received the phone i could not get any network signal with any carrier, like if it was a locked device. Looking for a solution i found some people complaining about BOG5 firmware causing this issue and they downgraded to the BOAF lollipop's first release and solved the issue so i got that firmware, samsung drivers, odin 3.10.7 and tried to flash it, it didnt work, the operation FAILED and it returned the following message : SW REV CHECK FAIL: (tz) fused 2 > Binary 1. Booted up the phone and no changes were made. I downloaded the full BOG5 and try to flash it to see if it helps with the initial problem (No network with any carrier) but returned the same failed message but this time the phone didnt boot anymore at this point. It seems to be locked (The bootloader) since on it says "SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE". I cant do anything to the phone to make it work and i dont know what can i do to fix the phone and get it back to life again. I need help, im lost and desperate with this dead shiny white brick :(

Any update on this issue? Would like to root my note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycstech:
Cant root retail note 4 yet. Need to unlock bootloader or hack kernel.

As for bricked phone:

Thats a typical problem when you flash either wrong firmware or using bad USB connection.

There are 3 things you need to know before you flash.

#1 Flashing with ODIN requires samsung drivers installed

#2 Flashing with ODIN requires USB cable connected STRAIGHT INTO THE MOTHERBOARD (not unto USB hub or not even into computer front panel) Ports behind the computer that go straight into motherboard are 100% guaranteed to work properly.

#3 Each version of ODIN is recommended to flash different versions of firmware. For example:

Odin 3.10 is for Lolipop 5.0.1 (Firmware N910VVRU1BOAF)

Odin 3.0.9 is for JellyBean or KitKat 4.4.4 (firmware built versions N910VVRU1ANI1 or N910VVRU1ANJ5)

Download Odin from droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions

Download firmware from galaxynote4root.com/note-4-stock-firmwares

(Make sure you chose correct model)

Inside ODIN, uncheck "Reboot" option.

When flashing is done, unplug the USB cord/Remove battery.

Reinsert battery and enter recovery mode by pressing VolumeUP+Home+Power and hold all 3 untill you see recovery screen.

Then chose to "clear cache partition" and press Power to confirm.

Reboot

done.

should have nothing lost if flashed with exact same firmware (i think it doesnt even matter if you flash with newer or older, but some apps may need to be reinstalled if fail to work due to firmware swap, so just uninstall those and reinstall)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabydog:
Hello XDA forums,

I really don't like the issue of trying to set the drivers of fastboot/google and so on....also all of these adb commands.

Is there a way to unlock bootloader & root by:

1) one of these "1 click" tools that do everything for the use? (such as "wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit")

2) Just do everything by the phone? (if there is a possible to install some how a recovery such as twrp and than root by some app?)

Could anybody guide me through the steps, if needed?

Many thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidphilev:
AFAIK you will need a pc to 1)unlock your bootloader and 2)flash TWRP. After that the rest can be done locally. I also never used any toolkit. Making it easy is making it more dangerous IMHO.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Second that.

So at least once you need to connect your phone to a desktop computer. It can be practically running anything, within reason of course: Wiindows. Mac OSX, Linux (almost any distro).

You need to unlock your bootloader with one command, but a warning here:

Unlocking the bootloader will erase everything from your phone.

.

Then you need to install a custom recovery, preferably TWRP. After that everything can be done from the phone itself. Well at least until you soft brick it somehow, then you'll might have to use the PC again.

Also two things:

1. No OTAs for rooted phones

2. Don't lock your bootloader if you want to mess with it, because with a locked bootloader, and Enable OEM Unlocking set to off, and without TWRP, if you soft brick it accidentally, you are boned.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i agree with you. if there is somebody who knows the ins and outs already, a one click root would be great. and there will be. problem is that marshmallow just came out, and a few things have changed, like like yoe also need a custom kernel to have root on marshmallow.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
There is a reason you're pushing this topic, and I'm quite sure it's because you would feel safer, if there was a tool that did the scary things instead of you. Well, there's no such tool. If you were willing to search XDA, you would find out that the first two weeks after Marshmallow came out were about people bricking their Nexus 6s with toolkits. Then the toolkit got updated and suddenly it knew that is has to flash a modified boot.img too for the root not to brick the phone. But for two weeks it didn't know, because it wasn't necessary for Lollipop. And it will only work until the next security update comes out. And that's once a month.

Meanwhile those who were willing to use the search function, and learned the five minute procedure, were able to update their rooted phones to the next security update and were able to root it as soon as the new modified boot image came out.

And this above is not something somebody will put in a help, or instructions for future updates.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Actually, this is my first time and I was able to do it pretty easily.

fastboot devices

fastboot oem unlock

my bootloader was unlocked within 30 seconds of turning it on.

then, you can easily root via CF Auto root. Just put it into fastboot then doubleclick on the windows, then root, etc....

or.............go into fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, then it always offers to run SuperSU, and you get custom recovery and root at the same time, etc......

actually the biggest pain is unlocking the bootloader. My Galaxy S4 already was unlocked, so all I did was use goomanager, flash TWRP which always offers to run SuperSU if you don't have it.

Pretty easy, I did unlock bootloader, root, and custom recovery in 10 min.
