Stuck at Gmail verification - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have been running official android m on my Nexus 6 with unlocked bootloader. I just used Nexusroottoolkit to flash the official android n factory image and then I locked my bootloader. Now when I boot I have to verify my gmail to use my phone. And I have no idea what gmail adress I used. I haven't changed the password on the gmail I used. What should I do?

Remember your email address. Because when you locked the bootloader - a foolish thing to do - factory reset protection kicks in. Unless you can recall which account you used you'll be locked out of the device.

Is there nothing I can do?

Find a way to bypass FRP.

When making a new Google account the system will check the username.
Do not activate a new name, but try to find an existing name. Maybe it helps to remember your forgotten Gmail account.
Some people remember things with the help of a hypnotist ?.
Don;t give up remembering.

Thanks for the replies!
I will never remember the gmail i used, it was a random mix of numbers and letters
I have got into the phone and I can install apk's but there are no methods to get rid of the FRP on android 7.0 yet. (security patch October 5)
Is it possible to sideload the stock 6.0.1 image from the stock recovery?
Or is the only option to replace the mainboard?

If you're in, turn on OEM Unlock in developer options and then unlock the bootloader. This time, leave it unlocked and keep OEM Unlock turned on!
Doing those two things will ensure FRP doesn't bite you in the ass. And next time, use an email address you can remember.

I can't enable developer settings
It doesn't happen anything when I tap the buildnumber

Try navigating to devices.android.com and see which Gmail account lists your N6.

Great idea! It would defiently help if I would find the Gmail account since I know the password for it. Where do I find devices.android.com? I didn't find it in Android/data

you can log in with a new account after 72 hours, after changing your account. that's the only way. if you can't remember your google account, I'd write it down somewhere if I were you
thanx to replay tell me plz can we downgrade 60 to 5.1.1 using adb?
72 hours I think is a time limit related to changed password.
If you forgot your password, you probably can't change it. I you can't, you have no options that i know of without using that special android N mentioned in the video.

can we downgrad to 5.1 without unlock and with adb ????????????:silly:
According to Google, FRP is also in Android 5.x. The fact the OP is getting a FRP prompt means OEM Unlock is not enabled. Further, the OP just yesterday resurrected this device by installing the Android N Preview, and likely flashed the standard image afterward. This would mean his bootloader is locked.
There are no alternatives here that I can see. The OP needs to remember his password on this device or his computer in order to get back in. Downgrading is not possible with a locked bootloader.
any idea about 60 google account
One thing that may work is resetting the password to the account on the PC. Once you get back in you should be able to remove the device from the account using the Device Manager. There is no way to get in to the phone without knowing the password, so the PC is your best hope, if you can't remember the password.
Ideally, you want the password you used, which is the easiest way to fix this.

hahahaha no thing impossible
I don't believe anyone has found a way to bypass FRP since the March update was applied. Since you likely got the image off Google's page where the images are offered, you installed the April version, which will have that hardening of FRP. You're right in that it's not impossible, but it is very very improbable. If you can't bypass, can't remember the account password or even the account email, then I guess you're looking for a new device.

I don't think you can downgrade your bootloader, I think the only way is to install the next developer preview bootloader and then you would be able to downgrade it to an earlier version

He has a N6 where he's locked out of the device and unable to activate it. Either he forgot the email addy and password he used to activate it, or he purchased a phone from someone else and got locked out because that someone else didn't remove their account from the device prior to selling.
In any event, his legit options are to try and remember the email and password used, or to try and get the seller to remove their account from the phone. Otherwise he'll have to try and bypass the FRP.

as you do the factory reset bypass protection, you need to do a downgrade to an older version android, then bypass, and update to the latest version

I tried all solutions for bypass and other sources after youtube, but as the nexus the whole time comes the first time Android the newest and latest security patch, if I remember correctly at the October 5th when it came out the official version 7.0
@bombonel: With Factory Reset Protection in play you must know the email address and password used on the phone in order to progress in the setup. Entering into the bootloader in the phone's current state and attempting to unlock the bootloader using fastboot will not work. Unless you can get into Android and toggle the Enable OEM Unlock option in the hidden Developer Options menu you will not be able to unlock the bootloader.
Your available options are as follows.
You need to know the email and password used on the device.
If the device was purchased used from another person, you need to contact that person and have them remove the device from their account.
You need to start looking at methods of bypassing Factory Reset Protection.

I talked to the person from whom I bought the phone arrived in this State, the person from whom I got did not know how long does factory reset after 5 minutes of thought got stuck and enter to recovery ans wipe data and cache wipe, having the account and all saved and knowing that the first boot takes thought and got stuck and to give it to me , started that night fix to change the password to your gmail account and deleted and sync and all of his account and the phone became useless. Because it communicates with google server over the internet, but only synchronized with the old account and no password only, and tried to contact the folks at google and with whom you can, but make no result if the wrong person irreparably.

T817A FRP locked

***Solved***
First Of all I want to thank you all for helping me out.
So it was google that updated their Google Account Manager apk so you can't login in this way In order to make your device "thinking" that this is the last account that was synced with the device.
and I realized that I should get some older version of GoogleAccountManager In order to fake the frp lock but the current version is blocking any older installation of it. In my case GoogleAccountManager 7.0.24 blocked the installation of GoogleAccountManager 6.0.XX(think it was 23).
So I decided to go a little rough on it and Downgraded the whole device Android Version (found a stock 5.1.1 for t817A model) In order to force the GoogleAccountManager application to downgrade also.
Some people complained that the FRP blocks their try to change android version but it wasn't my problem so I don't know how to help here.
after the downgrade I was able by using QuickShourcutMaker then opening GoogleAccountManager to login my account (many tutorials around the web), restarted the phone and TADAM, works like charm
My dad bought me a used one for the New Year (as I wished) and unfortunately it is FRP lock.
SO I've searched on how to disable this lock and I found I'm able to open google chrome settings but with no success further.
I've seen people enabling USB debugging then some how disabling that lock but I think google blocked my access to developer options so I think I'm pretty stuck ..
also, I have the option to send it back to the store overseas but I would like to try saving some time and unlocking it by myself so any ideas guys?

Search for an app called QuickShirtcutMaker. Download, install and run it.
Type ACCOUNT in the search field. Look for SETTINGS(add an account) then tap Try.
Create a Google account then log into it.
If it creates the account then you should be able to use the new account to bypass the GOOGLE login.
Reboot first.

Ok, so it seems like my Google Account Manager is 7.0.24 version, and it disallows me to add a google account through QuickShortcutMaker.
Many site's are telling to Reinstall to older versions of GoogleAccountManager but when I try to install any older version that I found it says "The package appears to be corrupt".
Now im feeling stuck agein but thank for the fast answers 'till now :good:

If the phone is not linked to a Xiaomi account this request will never arrive.
This case is frequent with a second-hand phone where the former owner forgot to delete it from his account.
This is one of the security in case of loss or theft of the device.

If you never set a security lock, like pin, gesture or fingerprint, there is a small chance to startup again.
Otherwise you can't startup without Mi Service.
If you wiped your data, everything is gone, but not the encryption, so Miui can't acces the data partition. You need to format the data partition for removing that encryption too.

thx for the reply any idea or tutorial to proceed ?
It's the security on the lock screen that encrypts the data.
By formatting the data you delete your data and the encryption but you will still have the unlock request at startup since the phone is linked to a Xiaomi account.
I think you are right. Even without some security lockoptions, you must pass always the lockscreen.
But I was under the assumption that you didn't need a Mi account for that.

Mi account sign up process always asks at least one way to verify your account, either it's a phone number or an active email.
Hard to believe just because you said it's "your phone". If it is, the linked mi account can be recovered either by email registered by it or a phone number used to verify the account. Unless both of your email and phone number is already inactive, it just makes the process longer, but still possible.
Reminds me of case of hardware dealer claimed Apple intentionally "lock" their laptops so that they cannot be resold. Whatever he claimed to be, either it's "donated, the owner didn't know", "bought at trusted refurbished reseller" -- when it's locked, it's hard to verify whether it was really donated or just "stolen". Some people would lie to meet their ends.
Do you have a custom recovery? If you have twrp or orangefox, then you can install a custom rom that is not miui and it doesn't ask you for a miui account.

You can only install a custom recovery and rom if the bootloader is unlocked.
For that you need a Mi account.

Question bootloader unlock, account not authorised

Hi a while ago i unlocked my boot loader and after a long time not using the phone i locked the boot loader,,im trying to unlocvk again using same account andit keeps saying account not authorised. even though im using same account.??
i also logged into mi website to post there and as soon a click post it says banned from posting??
is there anything right about xiaomi that just works??
How do i get over this hurdle of unlocking boot loader again?
Regards
I guess You have to apply again for unlock with MiFlash_Unlock tool and wait 168 hours. If this account is bugged you can try a new account. As far as i know this is the only method to unlock bootloader on xiaomi phones.
so i deleted account and recreated new account with same number now it says please add your account to miui settings > developer settings >mi unlock status...which i have done and it says successfully added but every time i go to unlock keeps saying the same above thing to add to your account....

That's a strange issue. I've never had problems unlocking the bootloader of my Xiaomi phones.
Try remove your Mi account (in settings) , reboot , then log in again . Then add back the account in developer setting.
And try run as administrator option , when opening Mi unlock app.

once you added the new account dont add it anymore because you are resetting the 168 hours timer. i think you just have to wait 7 days and try to unlock with the mi unlock tool

Tried that too and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Still same issue. I have a feeling it’s my old number and email associated to that account that might be causing the issue as it’s been used before to unlock boot loader? but tomorrow new email new number. Let’s see. Will update.

If you have deleted the old account before creating a new one it should not cause a problem. But yeah delete all accounts connected to this phone number and make a new account with a different email. Good luck buddy! Tell us what happened after that
so made new account with gmail and new number and followed these steps and downloaded unlock tool from here and it all worked finally, now it says wait 168 hours
downloaded unlock tool from https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
and updated it,
followed these instructions and used us as region when creating account but used uk number
one thing i did was make an account via email first on the website and set region to us, once account was created i logged in at the website and added recovery number through there, then logged in to xiaomi account oh phone and it showed up.
Make a Mi account through Google and set the region to US - it's important to set the region to US... EU gave me the rebind error
Add the Mi account to your phone (settings -> Mi Account)
Set the recovery phone on your Mi account and verify the phone number.
Make sure you have OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging enabled
Go to Mi Unlock status -> add account (make sure you're on data)
In your PC download the latest Mi Unlock Tool (click on the gear icon and check for updates + download if there are any)
In the same gear menu check for USB Drivers and install them
Log into the same Mi account in the Unlock tool
Enter Fastboot on your phone
Unlock (it may prompt you to wait 168 hours, but after that you should be able to unlock)
patiently awaiting now

Well I was this close to selling the thing if this last step didn’t work. But now will install eu rom as that’s what I had before and it worked good.
Only reason I changed to iPhone was it worked better with my Audi as the direction part on google maps on android auto took up quite a fair bit of the screen which was annoying.
Still does but worked out how to change it from the right side of the screen to the left which is a tad better I guess.

Hi Guys
a little update
as I am waiting for the days to countdown to unlock bootloader, I decided to go to work on the current miui14 Chinese rom, I deleted all the installed Chinese apps all the bloatware completely, activated google play services, installed play store, installed all my current apps, duplicated this phone and the home screen layout exactly to my iPhone set up, logged into my cards and banking apps without any issues, installed vanced YouTube and premium Spotify and as well as a couple no longer available apps.. set everything to English, deleted baidu and mifly keyboard installed google keyboard, and its exactly like how I would have it as if the boot loader was unlocked with a eu.rom.
now if I can get all this without unlocking bootloader all through a Chinese rom, why would i want to go through the headache of unlocking the bootloader to install a eu rom which is based on this very Chinese rom I believe?
can anyone suggest any reasons as to why anyone would go through the bootloader headache, unless I forgot something that i do that i haven't done via this route that might pop to mind later.
Regards

I didnt like the Chinese rom because:
1)the search engine (when you swipe up on home screen) is chinese and u cant change it.
2)"Ok Google" voice command was not working (or was buggy) if i remember correctly.
3) There were some other things that were coming up in chinese but i dont remember exactly what.
4) Many apps were not working in the background and i was not receiving notifications even when i locked those apps, put them on "no restriction" and enabled "auto start".
5) I saw many good bonus features that the EliteRom has (gets updates every 1 or 2 weeks, based on xiaomi.eu weekly) and decided to try it. So far i really like it!
But if you are okay with the Chinese ROM, u can stick with it

Make sure you use the app provided in link in my original post as after using a new email and new number I downloaded the unlock app from that link as the one I was using before had a different layout and kept giving that darn issue.

Of course, I'm not getting a message for waiting time, but for not entering my account
