Hello!

First, I forgot my pin because I turn on my phone after 1 and half years.

Second, I hard reset it and It needed my old Xiaomi login details.

Third, I forgot login details except login 🆔 and I have only one phone number recovery method which I lost it years ago. And I already tried Xiaomi support but disappointed.

Could you please help me with this?

I just want to make it re useable.

[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
How do you bypass Factory Reset Protection after a factory reset on an old LG T-Mobile Stylo 3 Plus (LG TP450) that you reset that had an old defunct Google Account on it?

1. I have a drawer full of old phones

2. One of which is an LG Stylo 3 Plus (LG TP450)

3. So I read up and the instructions from LG were easy to follow

4. So I factory reset it using the hard buttons

Dutifully following LG instructions, first I turned the phone off and then I pressed the back power button and the volume down button until the LG logo came up; and then I let up on the back power button and pressed it again, which gave me the factory reset screen which I hit twice to factory reset it. Then I rebooted the phone to start setting it up fresh as a critter camera.

a. Now when I try to set it up without a SIM card

b. It insists on being on the Internet (why the hell does it need that?)

c. When I give it the Internet over Wi-Fi, it insists I log into a Google Account

WTF?

The instructions said nothing about wiping out the Google Account first.

Now I'm stuck...

A. It says: "Google: Verify your account with your Google Account.

B. It says: "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device."

C. I don't have whatever google account was on it; that's why I factory reset it in the first place.

How do I bypass this stupid FRP restriction preventing me from using my own phone?

View attachment 6066224

Note: Please don't lecture me on why this idiotic feature is there, as it's obvious Google put it there to prevent stealing. It's the same reason we put locks on our car doors - but sometimes you lock yourself out and it doesn't make you a burglar if you break into your own car using a slim jim. If I were a thief, I'd be a crappy one since I have to ask here how to access my own phone (which is sad as I didn't know this FRP was even there).
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IMO the legitimate way to access an FRP-locked device is to use the Google account that was previously associated with it. If you don't remember the login credentials, you can try recovering them through Google's account recovery process. Of course you additionally can contact

LG Support: https://www.lg.com/us/support

They may be able to help you remove the FRP lock, but they will likely require proof of ownership of the device.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Of course.

Of course.

This one isn't so "of course" as I doubt they care and I doubt they can do anything about it.

Bought them from Costco years ago (you see three of them in the photo), so I could ask Costco to provide the receipts - but proving ownership is the least of the issues.

I'm seeking a technical solution.

I followed LG instructions. They said nothing about this. Therefore, even after following instructions, I didn't know this ridiculously idiotic FRP existed but now I'm determined to defeat it. What irks me is there was no warning. I've never seen a factory reset to default fail in my entire life. If they're going to brick my device, then I deserve to be mad at them. There was no warning.

The bastards are playing games with us, by unilaterally bricking our devices.

I thought only Apple did that (they bricked three of my iPads simply because I refused to log into Apple servers every day of the rest of my life).

View attachment 6066637

I'm sure there's a technical solution.

I'm not playing Apple's game.

I've never played Apple's game.

View attachment 6066638

Same with Google.

I'm not playing Google's game.

I've never played Google's game.

I have plenty of phones (and iPads) so I can take my time to figure out the technical solution. I'm not the type to let the sleazy bastards beat us.

This thread, for example, has a thousand posts, so maybe a solution is in there.

[Recovery][OFFICIAL] TWRP V3 For LG STYLO 3 PLUS

Thanks for the advice.View attachment 6066635
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
FYI:

The Android phone pattern lock (FRP) is stored in a special file called "gesture.key" in the /data/system directory of the Android device. Deleting the "gesture.key" file will remove the pattern lock on the device.

Take note that you cannot perform this by running ADB on a device locked with FRP: ADB requires USB debugging to be enabled, which is usually disabled when an FRP lock is active.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Thanks for that useful information.

I solved the problem.

It was my kid's phone, who is married and long moved out - but I visited this weekend and we laboriously followed the Google prompts to reset the phone after logging into the account on the Internet.

Then we deleted the damn Google Account!

After deleting the Google Account, when I factory reset the LG Stylo 3 Plus, everything worked fine.

1. Delete the Google Account on the LG Stylo 3 Plus (LG TP450)​

2. Reboot the phone & check the Google Account is gone​

3. With no Google Account set up on the phone...​

Turn off the LG Stylo 3 Plus (LG TP450)​

4. Hold the back power button & the side volume down ​

5. Keep holding until the LG logo comes up​

6. Then quickly lift your finger off the power button​

7. And quickly tap the power button again after 2 seconds​

8. Release both keys when you see the factory reset instructions​

I'm a bit pissed that none of the instructions say to remove the Google Account first. It's as if they've never done the procedure on a real phone.

Anyway, all is good now. Thanks.

Fellow Samsung Owners,

There is an alarming security flaw on most if not all Samsung devices but you have a few options.

Samsung Keyboard, whether your default keyboard or not, intercepts ALL 'Cut' and 'Copy' actions. This means every OTP, Password, Picture, etc.. that you Cut or Copy in the past will be in Samsung Keyboard's Clipboard. Right now you probably have a backlog of clipboard items.

First Option (Most annoying and Tedious)

Constantly open Samsung Keyboard and clear the clipboard.

We are very excited to announce Paranoid Android Uvite, based on Android 14.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the Play Store.

Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Is the bootloader lock build-specific? Or could I lock the 20240229 build with it?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
Build specific
[Sony Xperia 1 V] aquaboy11:
Ah, alright. I am trying to install the 20240229 build, but it is telling me it failed to parse the metadata (which makes sense as this zip is lacking the META-INF folder). Perhaps I am doing something wrong? This is what I'm trying:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot recovery

Select "Apply update from ADB"

adb sideload aospa-uvite--pdx234-20240229-image.zip

I also tried using the recovery.img from the zip-file and reducing the length of the zip-file's name, but both give the same result.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
Yeah, it's a fastboot update zip, I did update flashing instructions for that

[Sony Xperia 1 V] zhoufuwei:
hello，I had the same problem, did you solve it?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
This sounds like a pretty cool feature.

But what exactly is the intended use of that?

If you want to update you need to unlock Bootloader again and it will wipe data.

Or does the future include signed OTA Updates that work even with locked bootloader? That would be truly awesome.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
Fastboot update ROM.zip doesn't anyone read the post
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
Nah all builds are signed with the same key but when official comes you will need to unlock and flash then lock since aospa uses a different key to sign it

Whether it's flashing via a cable or sideloading, the device won't boot up even though I've flashed it correctly without any errors. I don't understand what the problem is.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
How did you flash?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] KramerJohn:
手机在“SONY”界面反复重启，我也尝试过切换分区，但还是无法启动。这包括将固件包旁加载到最新版本，但没有成功。另外，其他安装包均运行正常。
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
English please
[Sony Xperia 1 V] KramerJohn:
The device is stuck in a bootloop on the "SONY" interface, and attempts to switch partitions have been unsuccessful. Flashing ROMs from other authors works without any issues.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
I asked how did you flash it, the latest zip is a fastboot zip you have to go into recovery, fastbootD then do fastboot update ROM.zip
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Universe.:
you should unzip the rom and flash boot.img,dtbo.img,recovery.img,vender_boot.img,then enter fastboot , enter "fastboot reboot fastboot" reboot to fastbootd,and then enter "fastboot update ROM.zip" ,that will be ok
[Sony Xperia 1 V] KramerJohn:
Thank you very much. I used to try entering recovery after flashing images such as boot, recovery, vendor_boot, and dtbo with fastboot, then sideloading adb and auto-flashing with skip-secondary. I will follow your tutorial now and see if it works
[Sony Xperia 1 V] KramerJohn:
skip-secondary
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Velaar.Felps:
I'd like to love this rom. It does seem to work incredibly fast. Unfortunately couldn't stay on it for more than a couple hours as my X1V is my daily driver. After flashing both my 5G didn't work and my WiFi refused to connect (Wrong password reported by WiFI while password was 100% correct) No clue what's up with it. I had SEA firmware with US modem before. Flashed SEA modem just in case - same issue.

I will give it another try if there is some path to diagnostics or resolution but cant commit to active testing. Sorry and best of luck developing.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
5g works fine here and so does WiFi, if your WiFi is WiFi 4 then there's some issues
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Velaar.Felps:
Well, apparently there are some issues with WiFi 5 / 5G / AX. Tested quite extensively. Modem technically works just without data, but that I can fix in EFS. Can't fix wifi with WPA / WPA2 PSK encryption. Actually it did connect to a WiFi 4 but not to a WiFi 5. Sadly for a daily driver WiFI selectivity is a dealbreaker as I often connect to hotspots that I have no control over.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
Yeah I don't have a WiFi 4/5 router tbh, but if I find a fix somehow it'll be mentioned

[Sony Xperia 1 V] drdieselal:
Successfully installed the ROM, looks great! However, failed at locking the bootloader back. I did:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash custom_avb_key pkmd-signed.bin

Got the following error:

[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:

[Sony Xperia 1 V] Kevincorella:
Bro, just figure it out lol!

There were some cryptic instructions

First!

Flash your desired base Firmware (I did HK)

Flash the US Modem if you like

Flash recovery (I did it with TWRP, and then ABD sideload but you can use the other method)

adb sideload aospa-uvite-unofficial-pdx234-20240208.zip

(you have to start with this)

then reboot, wipe data, then it will boot

then you can update (havent acomplished this, just wont boot again if I update)

Fastboot update aospa-uvite--pdx234-20240229-image.zip (with fastbootd)

Fastboot update aospa-uvite--pdx234-20240303-image.zip (with fastbootd)

I guess afterwards flash magisk and rooot

or

relock the BL with no problem

fastboot flash avb_custom_key pkmd-signed.bin

fastboot oem lock
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Kevincorella:
If I relock the bootloader I cant have magisk, right?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] King081:
You can use avbroot but don't blame me if something goes wrong
