[FRP] HTC Desire 626 - Verizon Prepaid - Model # HTCD200LVWPP - htc_a32e

I <3 HTC!

This HTC phone is OLD and yeah I know this probably won't be of much use these days as many people do not have this phone still? .. (I have 4 different 626 variant almost all modded out physically and software) .. but I have to post it because I love doing FRP's manually, it will help those that want to learn, and obviously help those with this device.. So for some time literally every device I get my hands on that I have spare time for or think might make for an interesting FRP removal I make sure to "freestyle" and find my own ways 95% of the time without using google or youtube. Yeap.. even when I have the hardware and software to do it sitting in my office. I wanted to cover just about every way possible I could find and come up with on my own to remove FRP for this old dandy here. Hopefully someone will find it of some use and or use these simple methods on other older and some methods (such as 3, 4, 5 and 6) will work on newer devices. If you do a lot of FRP removal you already know all of this so you can move on. Before any negative criticism.. Yes I do know some of these removal processes are taking the LONG route but again I did it so to include everything possible for the HTC Desire 626 Verizon PrePaid model in this tutorial.. For fun and learning purposes.

I would say it's best to read the whole tutorial first and see which you want to give a try and because it is just good to know incase you come across another FRP locked device. The easiest will be method 1.

Whats Needed:

-Tiny bit of time

-Quick Fingers (method 1)

-ADB & Fastboot (linked in thread and for methods 3, 4, 5 depending on program)

-FRP Removal Program that removes through ADB (method 5)

-EDL Cable (method 6)

-Qualcomm Drivers (attached and for method 6)

Initial Steps: Enable accessibility by holding 2 fingers on the homescreen, when enabled, draw an L shape starting at the top of the screen. At the top right you will see a half circle that says [Talkback Settings]. Press this and then follow through to the Talkback Settings. Using two fingers touch the screen and move up with your fingers to scroll the screen now scroll down until you see *Talkback suspend and resume* and enable this. Hold both volume buttons to disable talkback and now you can ->

NOTE-> For Methods 1, 2, 3 and 5. If going through [Recent Apps] -> *Settings* -> *Screen Pinning* does not allow you to backup into settings.. Then select the other option *Running Apps* and backup into settings using it. Reason i say this is because I have found if i do not go in the order i describe below then backing up into settings from after screen pinning it won't backup into settings unless i select *Running Apps* and go back from there. Either one should work really. I wasn't able to backup into settings without enabling screen pinning though and it only worked if I went straight back after enabling.

1 FRP Bypass Hack - Enable Talkback by holding down both volume rockers for 5 seconds. Make a backwards L swipe. Swipe out from the right far over to the left side almost to the edge then up to the top. Make sure you swipe the line over for the bottom of the L shape almost over to the other side of the screen before you draw up with it. You might have to do it a few times and play around with your starting point up and down the right side of the screen and over in the middle close to the edge of the screen where you go back up the screen. You will get it eventually. Now press both volume buttons to disable Talkback. You should now be in Recent Apps and at the top right will be 3 dots. Select these and press [Settings] and enable *Screen Pinning* then press back until you get into Settings then go down to [Backup and Reset] and click on this then [Reset Phone].. Now here is where it gets fun! We are going to quickly bypass Android 5.1's protection disabling the ability to press the *OK* button you see at the bottom. You are going to want to go back a screen to start. Next press on [Reset Phone] and now with your right thumb quickly press OK and as soon as you do this you will see where the box pops up and know where the OK button on it is. So position your right thumb or w/e finger you can press with quickly over the area where the *OK* would be or remember the spot and go back a screen and repeat the process. Eventually because of doing this the system will slow down some and the box will stay longer so you've more time to click *OK*. You will see it works if you do it quick enough. Bingo. Done. Phone will restart completely reset and you have now bypassed FRP.

2App Process Kill - (Need to revise and finish this soon) Enable Talkback by holding down both volume rockers for 5 seconds. Make a backwards L swipe. Swipe out from the right far over to the left side almost to the edge then up to the top. Make sure you swipe the line over for the bottom of the L shape almost over to the other side of the screen before you draw up with it. You might have to do it a few times and play around with your starting point up and down the right side of the screen and over in the middle close to the edge of the screen where you go back up the screen. You will get it eventually. Now press both volume buttons to disable talkback. You should now see [Recent Apps] and at the top right will be 3 dots. Select these and press *Settings* in the list and enable *Screen Pinning*. Now you want to press back. You will now be in [Security] so scroll down and enable *Unknown Sources*. Press back again and now you will be in [Settings]. Goto [App Manager] press this then goto the tab that says [ALL]. Scroll down to *Google Policy* and disable it, clear cache. Next find and close *

3 Command Prompt ADB - Enable Talkback by holding down both volume rockers for 5 seconds. Make a backwards L swipe. Swipe out from the right far over to the left side almost to the edge then up to the top. Make sure you swipe the line over for the bottom of the L shape almost over to the other side of the screen before you draw up with it. You might have to do it a few times and play around with your starting point up and down the right side of the screen and over in the middle close to the edge of the screen where you go back up the screen. You will get it eventually. Now press both volume buttons to disable talkback. You should now see [Recent Apps] and at the top right will be 3 dots. Select these and press settings in the list and enable *Screen Pinning*. Now you want to press back. You will now be in [Security] so scroll down and enable unknown sources. Press back again and now you will be in [Settings]. Scroll down to [About] then to [Software Information] then onto [More] and press the build button multiple times until it says "Developer Settings Enabled" and press back 2 times. Goto [Developer Options] and enable *USB Debugging*. Now...

You can hook up the phone to a computer using a Micro USB Data Cable, install adb link -> https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 , open command prompt by pressing windows key and r at the same time then typing in cmd . Now type this code into the Command Prompt window -

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

If it doesn't work then

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/

If it doesn't work then

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity

Done.

4 Command Prompt FASTBOOT - (Doesn't work on mine and unlikely to work due to locked bootloader etc but you can try on your device as this works for more devices than just this... and then post results)

You can hook up the phone to a computer using a Micro USB Data Cable, install fastboot link (don't install again if you already installed for method 4) -> https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 , open command prompt by pressing windows key and r at the same time then typing in cmd . Now type this code into the Command Prompt window -

fastboot -w

If it doesn't work then

fastboot erase config

If it doesn't work then

fastboot -i 0x2a96 erase config

Done.

5 FRP Removal Program - Any FRP removal software or hardware program and or box that supports FRP removal using ADB / Fastboot.

Hook up the phone to a computer using a Micro USB Data Cable, install adb/fastboot link -> https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 ->

Scroll down to [About] then to [Software Information] then onto [More] and press the build button multiple times until it says "Developer Settings Enabled" and press back 2 times. Goto [Developer Options] and enable *USB Debugging*. Now... Run any program out there that has the ability to remove FRP using ADB. You can also alternateively try putting it into fastboot and using their fastboot removal options but these are more than likely going to be the ones used in method 4 unless a special method. Done.

6 EDL Mode using Program - (This would not work with the programs I normally use but will work on other devices.. other 626 such as the Post Paid Verizon variant and other phones)

NOTE: This will require you to have a EDL Cable & Qualcomm Drivers installed. The EDL Cable puts the phone into Qualcomm 9008 mode by changing some pinouts in a cable and forcing it to goto this mode which you normally only see on US Qualcomm phones when.. it is hardbricked. If you do not have one you can Google or search YouTube on how to make one with just a spare data cable and a little snipping and twisting of wires. Make sure you have the Qualcomm Drivers intalled first. Use 32/64 bit according to your systems architecture. If you need help finding out you need to check your system information on windows to see which it is. Most newer computers will be 64 bit. x86 = 32 bit and x64 = 64 bit.

Put phone into EDL Mode using cables instructions. For my cable i boot the device then I plug the cable into the phone and into the computer. Then I hold down all buttons which would be both volume rockers and the power button while also holding down my EDL cable button and I wait until the phone shuts off. From here i wait about 8-12 seconds then I release my button forcing the phone into Qualcomm 9008 mode. Ok now after you've done this open [Device Manager] on your computer to make sure it has recognized the phone under [Com Ports]. Now use one of many programs out there to remove the FRP. Reboot. Done.
