Problems with inital setup with used phone

[Apotrox]

I recently bought a used oneplus 5 and i was told/asured it was factory reset and all. Now i'm trying to set it up but im required to enter the gmail account data from the former user, which, of course, i dont have and probably won't get because i mean who's gonna give a stranger his gmail password even if one can change it immediately.

Question is: Is there a way to bypass it (i factory resetted it another 2 times and erased all system settings and all already) and actually use my account for it or is it unusable until i get the account data of the seller

The bootloader is still locked and i factory resetted it myself 2 times.

Enter into fastboot mode by pressing volume up + power button together when the device is powered off. Connect your pc to your phone and do fastboot format userdata. For more information you can contact @MrWilsonxD he is an expert for this.

Aye did this and it failed (Flashing is not allowed in Lock State). So i guess it's because the bootloader is still locked which i can't do since i can't access the settings to enable it (which i have to if i carry out the steps of a basic tutorial). Can i access the settings somehow without finishing the inital setup? Maybe in addition to being able to unlock the bootloader i can also remove the restriction of the old user account?

Okay do this now. Wipe system, data, cache, dlavik, vendor. Then go in format and type yes. Flash oos. Reboot to recovery. Flash magisk. Flash no verity. Boot into os. See if it solve your issue.

Next method. Delete these 3 colour files in twrp. Look at photo attached.

The op has a device with a locked bootloader.
So he cannot have twrp, flash magisk every other things that you suggested...

BTW: if you're sleeping you can grab a BBS idle dump file for sure, you know what I mean

If the device has nougat, you can try to type *#812# within the emergency calling screen to get access to the home screen and can factory reset your device.

Otherwise you can try to write the partitions from scratch with the unbrick tool which should also work https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3761706

But you didn't read my last message i moved to oos now. You don't understand that many people face this issue. Even lightning kernel developer whose kernel was used by Sian in his earlier ROM also had that issue. People don't report on XDA because of things i can't type because i will get warning from mods. Everyone has shifted to telegram and those chats are not moderated and things that happen aren't good. If you are on telegram you will know. Okay i guess i will have to become like others and don't post my own question. Just will reply to others. I will post dump file when i flash ROM again and also developer doesn't support it. + Logs won't show anything. If it was possible atleast a kernel developer would have sent to others. + It's definitely not because of me. Because i didn't install anything apart from magisk, no verity zip, fk kernel app, bbs when i did my last testing. Sorry to bother you.

Again: The op of this thread thread as the factory reset protection issue on stock rom with locked bootloader.

You cannot suggest him to boot to twrp or format several partitions, that's simply not possible!

If you click on i forgot my email id. Than you get an option to enter your phone number. Will that work for you.

Nope i don't have the phone number used with the google account (apparently the seller used another number than the one he has on ebay). I messaged him but haven't gotten an answer yet.

Have you tried my suggestions?

I'm at it, the *#812# didn't work so i'll have to try the unbrick tool method which takes some time to download the files. I'll keep you updated

Alright i skipped the thing with the drivers because it showed up correctly and used the msm download tool for OOS 9.0.4.

And it did work!! Thank you so much!
