Hello!,

Just recently purchased an unlocked S7 SM-G935F phone several weeks back, and got locked of the google account. I can't get password from google because I think the password was compromised. Google refuses to provide the password or reset it. So, my question is how can I modify this phone without having the developers tab tap 7 times get back to it's original firmware? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Sprov:
Sorry but you didn't give enough information.

First of all, if the phone is not yours, give it back to the owner or don't try to access data without passwords: it is illegal, though impossible too.

If it's your legitimate property you can reset your google password with the methods you configured. If you find no way suggested to recover your password you will have to contact directly google customer service and hope they will try to verify your identity and give you someway access to your data, and device too.

The thing of developer option it's not correlate to your problem, maybe you want to install a custom aoftware (rom, kernel etc) but you didn't say that. And anyway there are tons of guides which you maybe already read. If your device is locked there's no way to recover it without your google password. Don't try flash strange things you will brick it.

Suspect
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] JoeJingle92:
Nope, it's my phone. I purchased it several weeks ago as mentioned before. I have a receipt from Amazon as proof. I honestly got locked out of the phone and can't recall the exact password because I probably tossed it away. I've called google 4 times still no avail. I would like to install a custom rom if possible. Any other suggestions? Id be willing to donate a few bucs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] alpine101:
Then go back to the Amazon seller and ask him/her.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Sprov:
I'm sorry but if you write here on xda you will likely find people who know what is going on. And anyone would be suspicious if you're asking to bypass a security lock. There are 2 cases, one is that that ain't not your device, the other is that you're so dumb to lock a 700$ device with a password you don't remember saying bull****s like " the password was compromised " or, which is fantastic, " I called Google 4 times" like if they have a number to call to get Samsung assistance. I'm really happy theres no way to acces phone without correct psw, but if you want you can keep waisting your time.Mods please throw away this tief
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
You forgot or "lost" your Google password? This doesn't sound right.

Why not recover your Google password using their online system?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] B3311:
"I cant recall the password because I probably tossed it away"

Love the "probably". Can be hard to keep track of bulls***.

Make your mind up - find a lie and stick to it. Did you probably toss it away or is the password "compromised"?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CFSlayer:
Good luck trying to fool anyone in here to help you out with your "problem".

If it was legitimately yours, then you would've set up a fingerprint and not only a password, don't you think that would've been smart? That way you would've not been "locked out of phone". Emphasis on "If it was legitimately yours".

I've actually done what this guy has but I did it on a freshy right outta the box with me swing the first owner. However this does seem suspect I would help if I knew you were the first and only owner but seeing you're not I cant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] deptrai1:
I'm in the same boat. My father-in-law somehow got his S7 edge locked and forgot his google password at the same time. He went to a Verizon store, but they only told him to recover via google. He shipped the phone to me to try and help him unlock it. Google password recovery is by 3 methods:

1) send a text to the phone. Of course this doesn't help because I can't unlock the phone. I hear the tone when the text comes in, but can't retrieve it

2) Sends a code to another email associated with the google account. He swears its his daughter's email address, but when we put that code in, google says it doesn't recognize her email as authorized

3) tell google what month & year the account was created. He can't remember that either

At this point, I'm willing to pay someone to fix it. I believe it has the newest Nougat firmware. I tried many suggestions from YouTube, but I can't even get to the menu where you connect to a wifi signal.

Anyone willing to help or just think I stole the phone like the previous guy?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Put the SIM into another phone and receive the SMS. Simple.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] deptrai1:
THANK YOU!. At least I made some progress. Now I find myself in an endless loop...the phone keeps saying "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device".

My father-in-law has 2 Google accounts. Having put his sim in my phone, I was able to reset passwords for both of these Google accounts, but the phone doesn't like either of them.

Any more suggestions?

Oh. Without the sim, I was finally prompted to connect to a wifi.

Is it possible that no Google account was synced with this device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] thebiggboss180:
guys... try to fix ur google accounts in a pc .. after u finish and u have the email and the password. just enter it to the phone.. u dont need to doo all the work from the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] deptrai1:
I've fixed (can now log in) two of my father-in-law's google accounts. Its just that the phone isn't recognizing either of them now. I don't know if he has a 3rd account of if it was possible to set up the phone without one. I'm on Verizon with an iPhone so I don't know anything about android or google.

Read that you have to wait 24 hours after changing Google password, so I'll try it again tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] deptrai1:
the scotsman - You are my F*CKING hero! 24 hours after resetting the google password, the S7 edge recognizes it and is now unlocked. My father-in-law (& mother-in-law) thank you.

[T-Mobile LG G4] pianoplayer88key:
Hi ...

So about Tuesday (14th) morning, my G4 rebooted itself, and went into perpetual bootloop. :( I bought it on 3/10/2016, so it was out of warranty by a few days. I'd heard, various places online, that people were getting their G4s fixed even out of warranty, but ....

First, I went to the T-Mobile store where I bought the phone. The rep there didn't know about the bootloop issue, and said he wasn't able to help me.

Next, I contacted LG live chat online, and they said they were unable to help because the camera lens is broken. (That happened within a month or so after getting the phone. Even if I didn't tell them up front, they still would have found out when they got it. I'd considered buying a replacement & installing it myself previously, but never could figure out which was the exact OEM model or where to get it.)

I

really

need to preserve the data that's on the phone. I'm not just talking about pictures, documents, downloaded files, etc (I think camera pics are backed up automatically, but idk about screenshots for example) ... I also mean Wi-Fi credentials, my 60-70+ open Chrome browser tabs & history, txt/mms messages, call logs, voice mails (stored in the T-Mo Visual Voicemail app) - basically everything.

Both T-Mobile and LG, if I understood right, told me that if they took the phone in for repair, one of the first things they'd do is factory reset it, which would wipe out that data, and I can't have that. :(

I'm at a loss for what to do right now. :( I really want to get my specific phone's bootloop / motherboard issue fixed, with its data retained, and not get it replaced, at no cost to me. (Don't care so much about the camera, it's still working fine even with the external lens busted off.) If I have to replace the phone, I still need to preserve the data I mentioned above, plus anything else I may have forgotten. (Basically a full system image/clone.) Also I haven't rooted / installed a custom OS.

If replacing with a new phone is in order, I'll want a really good one without breaking the bank. (I was going to keep the G4 until 2020 or 2021, if not longer - my T-Mobile G1 lasted 4.5 years and was a then-lower-end phone at the time than the G4.) I'm still trying to figure out what all I want in the phone, or what my budget is. (I *do* know I don't want anything by Apple, or an equivalent of the G4 or Note 7 of course.) My initial budget idea (ONLY for complete phone replacement, NOT if repair is involved), subject to modification, would include taking the $ I would have used to upgrade my 4790K desktop PC to Ryzen 7, and instead getting a new phone. I'm thinking anywhere from $300 to $800. A few preliminary models that popped up in my search are the LG G6, Galaxy S8, Note 8, 1+5, Pixel/2, and a few other Asian-sounding brands I'm not sure about yet. If it's decided I have to get a new phone, I'll be making another post/thread asking for more advice in detail on that.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
the safe way is to do the freezer method search and youll find tutorial.. get you data and stuff. use titanium to back up apps with data with the paid app..
[T-Mobile LG G4] pianoplayer88key:
I've heard of the freezer method. I did pop it in the fridge and it almost started to work for a minute, but maybe I should try the freezer. I've also heard of people heating it and getting some temporary use out of it.

I have the paid Titanium Backup on my rooted Galaxy Relay 4G, but I haven't rooted the G4. And, once I went to a new phone, how would I restore without root? (I'd decided not to root until the warranty expired, but it'd be nice to get one that's more friendly to that in the future, also have better full backups, etc.)

Also I've heard there's a way to disable a couple cores & get it working that way, but I have Marshmallow and I hear it requires Lollipop.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
we have antirollback in h811 if you are in 20i you are okey to downgrade if higher then 20i say 20o then you cant downgrade to lollipop.

not sure how you would go about restoring. your data..
[T-Mobile LG G4] pianoplayer88key:
Hmm... well since I can't boot (for now) past the LG screen, idk if I can even get TO a place where I can attempt a rollback.

And even if I have to use other methods to get the data back (so long as it doesn't cost much, as in less than the cost of an SD card) ... then another important criteria for my next phone is automatic backup of *everything*, either to the cloud, or to a second removable micro SD card, or something. (And, by backup of everything, I mean full system image basically.)

And the data I'm talking about includes, but is not limited to, call logs, browser history & open tabs (chrome was my primary browser on that phone), sms/mms messages, saved voicemails (in the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app), and other things that aren't saved in places like Documents, Downloads, DCIM, Pictures, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
is bootloopng . thats a hardware issue.. i would suggest to do the freezer method .making sure no moist gets in phone.. i think people put in frezzer with cable and recovers their data.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] EspElement:
Do any of you experience that after 95% it seems to take way longer to charge that last 5% than getting to 95%?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] vietkao:
Actually, the last 20% should be slower than initial 80% due to the battery being Li-ion and fast charging technology. You can have a quick search on google and see for yourself.

Specifically the Z Play I have, charging up to 80% is warmer and faster than the last 20%.

It is also suggested by a lot of people that you should only charge your device to 80% to maintain that battery for the longest time possible. I still charge my phone all the way tho.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Nutsonfire:
It's how Lithium battery charging works, first it's constant current CC and then constant voltage CV. Once the battery voltage reaches a certain value (4.2V or more depending on the Lithium battery type), the charge current decreases every time the battery voltage tries to go over this preset max voltage. The charge current gradually decreases and when it reaches a certain value (usually 0.2-0.3A) the charge stops.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] EspElement:
Awesome. Makes sense. I was just wondering. Good stuff!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Yash24:
It will charge device fast till 76 percent after that it charges slowly.

You had also noticed that phone get warms up a little during charging till the battery percentage reach to 76 percent.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] MR H3LLMAN:
Hello all! I've got a puzzling issue (for me, at least) that I'd like to see if anyone else has encountered and what their possible fix might be.

So I've been alternating between running Resurrection Remix and Pure Nexus the past few months and have had no issues flashing new builds or kernels. Last night when I went to switch back from RR to Pure Nexus I encountered and error I haven't seen before and some weird results from it.

When I went to flash the Pure Nexus it kept failing stating TWRP was unable to find the meta/inf/com/Google (I think) data in the zip. I tried flashing RR again with the same issue. I then tried to wipe and restore a TWRP backup that didn't end up working even though it said it did. I then decided screw it and flashed the factory image for the Pixel XL and was able to at least get booted and running on stock. However, my storage is pretty much gone and now only have like 6gb out of 8gb total. Upon I spection System is currently taking up 20gb worth of storage and even after flashing the factory image again it is still not resolved.

Can anyone tell me what I managed to do here and if there is a fix? Realistically I'd love to figure out how to actually repartition everything in the phone and start from scratch again.

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated as I'm not new to rooting and rom'ing but am getting uinely confused as to what has happened here.

PS: I attached a picture of my storage breakdown but can't inspect further due to not having root and being on stock. Viewing storage in TWRP didn't yield much more I formation either.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] toknitup420:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] MR H3LLMAN:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] swapavi:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] MR H3LLMAN:
So this did indeed fix my storage partition issues but now I am unable to flash TWRP to my device. It is stating my recovery partition doesn't exist. What the hell is happening? haha
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
You may need to fast boot new boot images to slot a and b. You just have to unzip factory image and you will see them in there. Or just flash the factory image all over. Start fresh.

Don't flash recovery, you're pixel will get all screwed up lol. You temp boot it and install via the twrp installer zip.

I know people have trouble with MMS and this phone, but I just noticed that I'm completely missing a few SMS that I should have received.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rjongen:
When I play songs in HTC Audio Manager (and using htc today audio plugin with it), it takes about 2045k. When I play the same songs in Windows Media (and using htc today audio plugin with it), it takes about 22000k. About 10 times more :confused:

Why?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GilesTheAlmighty:
to my knowledge/experience, windows media player caches the whole song (i may be wrong) and so dumps the whole song into the memory using up a fair amount, also Windows Media Player is generally a memory hungry program, HTC have coded the audio manager a little better and using sensible cahce sizes

currently mines using 14mb playing a 4.5mb mp3, changing it to a 40 second WAV file dropped the memory used to 11Mb

hope that helps a little :D
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] sephstyler:
Hi there,

I have a TW Market U Ultra. (Dual Sim). and would like to access VoLTE in my area of residence - Australia. My local carrier (Vodafone AU) already sells the U Ultra in Single sim variant, and has VoLTE out of the box. My dual sim version does not provide the option for VoLTE on the VF AU SIM (it did on a taiwanese sim when I was in Taiwan).

To kick start development, I'd like to put up a reward.

Personally, (please comment on this if you have technical know-how to help me clearly establish requirements) I would like:

A stock based stable ROM

VoLTE access for all supported regions and carriers (if this is technically not achievable, then at least the major ones, incl VF AU for personal reasons)

Updates in line with HTC stock WWE or Asia Firmware releases - Updates to keep existing data without wipe (OTA nice to have, but not required) - not expecting support forever, but if a key dev comes on board and lots of users use this, then potentially this weight will carry forward.

I'm happy to root/TWRP and S-Off for the process, but need to go back to a ROM without root (certain apps dont like root). Happy to keep S-OFF and TWRP

Again, I am not a dev, and have only dabbled with custom roms in the past, so please assist and provide your feedback on what is practical and what isnt.

As a reward, the first dev to deliver the above for me, I am willing to put in $50USD, payable via Paypal or similar.

Obviously the requirements are tailored to myself, and if you're in the same boat please feel free to kick in some more to get this really enticing for a good quality dev to come on board.

If you have other requirements, such as Enabling dual sim on single sim variants or something, feel free to comment on the same thread, and if a skilled dev can build a rom to meet all requirements, they can I guess potentially collect all rewards.
[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] ChavezD:
I've got pretty much the same problem, but on a free German single sim device. I'd also pay 10$/€ if there's any way to enable volte, but I don't have much hope here, since none of the German providers sell the u ultra. (Over here, the only supported devices for VoLTE and VoWiFi are Galaxy s6/7 and iphones >6..)

[Just an idea: what is the process to check whether your device is supported or not? Maybe one can 'copy' the data from an supported device to fake whatever is needed?]

Something else you might want to know:

You can flash Magisk via twrp just over your rom, so that you can use (and hide) systemless root. Even Google's safety net (that looks if the device is rooted and/or the bootloader is unlocked) is tricked so that my apps for online banking finally work again on a rooted device :)

I didn't test those but I read about working Pokemon go and Android pay using Magisk.
