Hi! My sister recently did a factory reset to her phone, but now it is asking for the Google account. She doesn't remember it. I tried to bypass the FRP lock with the Talkback method but it doesn't work. The phone has the latest Android updates installed so I guess they have patched that bypass thing. My bootloader is locked. Um, I have tried to downgrade the Android, also I have extracted the update.app files and tried to flash them via fastboot but it says "command not allowed". Anyone with an idea? ? Thanks!

Just sign in with your Gmail and then later remove it.
Are you serious? I wrote that she didn't remember it... If she knew it I wouldn't ask for help here.

Don't you have one? If you don't just create one and later sign in with her account.

Ok, so. My phone was hard resetted. It asks for the original account, not to input or create a new one. Do you know what FRP means?
Anyway, I bypassed the FRP.

Well FRP prevents you from alerting the system partitions. Thats all I know.
And how exactly did you hard reset your phone?
Anyways, glad that you bypassed it.

Factory Reset Protection. Just like iCloud on iPhone.
I turned it off, after that I have entered in the recovery mode by pressing both volume up and power buttons.

If I flash a factory image on my Nexus 6, will the device ask me for my google account, or does that only occur with a factory reset.

Click the top link in my signature for info. Especially if you are thinking of re-locking the bootloader.
You should remove your Google account and any security pin/password/pattern lock before hand. Then do a factory reset from settings before you begin. Safety first.

Giffgaff said they'd need the device protection taken off
"Don't forget to remove your PIN or lock code, and any other kind of protection so the phone fixers can turn on your phone and confirm the issue."
However it can be turned on and the PIN encryption is gone, I just don't know whether they will need my google account to get further into the phone seeing as it's a factory image flash. I can't lock the bootloader because i can't see anything on the screen and I cannot force it off without it auto rebooting.

If the screen isnt working, they can see the issue long before getting to boot up. To turn off device protection, you must remove the google account before a factory reset. You obviously cant do this without seeing what you're doing. And you wouldnt want them to have access to your google account. All you can do is flash factory and send it as is. Device protection isnt going to prevent them fixing a broken display issue.

By flashing the factory image, in its entirety, all of your account information would need to be entered before you could use the device again anyway. After the repair process, when the device is powered on, they would only see the start up screen, as if it were a new device.

True.
OP wanted to avoid access to his device by others. In general it is good practice to change password from time to time.
It is a point of view. Do not rely only on the security of a system.

I agree. That's why in my first response, I said that very thing. However with a broken screen, he could not do this from his device. So it was recommend that he do it via the web. But with the new features of security, you must wait 72 hours after changing your password before factory resetting. I think it's a time issue and the OP wants to get their phone off to be repaired.
Hi guys, i got a Nexus 6, bought to a friend, but i did a factory reset and now is asking me for the last account used in the device, i ask to my friend and dont know (the phone its a gift from his father). Android 5.1 and there is no way to know wich account were used in the device.
Please someone can help, the bootloader is locked, cant unlock because "android debbuging" is off. Can i flash a special stock images or something?? or what can i do to pass this vrification?
thanks.
@fernando2610
You have to enter the username and password for the last person who used the device. There is no way around this. If you can't get that information, then this device is useless.
If bootloader is locked you're Sol!

Has he changed his password lately? I think you have to wait awhile correct me if I'm.wrong
if he resets his password for you because he doesnt know it you will have to wait 72 hours i believe before you can even log into that phone.

Not sure on that. Though if you have an unlocked bootloader, the device protection is useless anyway as you can just flash it back to stock and if you're rooted / modified, locking the bootloader is quite a dangerous thing to do (if you get in a bootloop and cannot get into custom recovery, with a locked bootloader, you're screwed).
I bought a nexus 6 and it is locked with the anti theft thing...cant get ahold of the seller and it doesnt show his info on the nexus at all. anyways does anyone have any thoughts on bypassing it ? I did try to sign into mine and it does sign and checks for update and then immediately signs out. Maybe a modified DNS server ? I also did try to reset it ..no lucky, also tried to flash android 5.0 but says boot loader needs to be unlocked. Is there a way to unlock boot loader without doing it in settings ? I did also try to fastboot oem unlock but says to do it in settings. I was thinking maybe modifying the stock image and go into the build prompt and change the value of the start up wizard to remove it but then the bootloader thing gets in the way. Someone help

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.

@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.

Well that's a big problem. It happened to me before. Did hard reset without removing the gmail account. After boot it asked for the same email. Now the" funny " part is that every time you put incorrect gmail your phone will be locked out for 72hours. No Google nor Samsung can reset it. You have to log in to that gmail you had reset the password. Unfortunately that is the only way. Or there's a paid service removing this "lockdown". Basically it's the same as iCloud on iPhone.
