Changing hardware identification codes such as IMEI numbers is illegal and discussions of that nature are NOT allowed on the forums.
As I thought, and as it should be.

What is discussed here is not at all related to that, so please do not imply that it is. Thanks.
No, it's not related to changing IMEI numbers, but it is related to bypassing security features which allow unauthorised users access to the phone. Is this not illegal?

If someone doesn't know what Google account was used when the phone was set up (considering this is a feature introduced with Android 5.1 - i.e. modern phones) then the likelihood is that the phone was either bought second hand or stolen, correct? If the phone was bought second hand, has this security feature enabled, and the seller isn't able to help you by entering the correct credentials (either over the phone, or by returning the phone) then that points towards the seller not knowing what the details are - so how did he/she get hold of the phone?

Sure, Google's implementation of this isn't the greatest implementation, but if we're just handing out details of how to bypass it willy-nilly - then what's the point of these added security features?

Yes, we do not allow discussions of anything illegal.

No, it's not related to changing IMEI numbers, but it is related to bypassing security features which allow unauthorised users access to the phone. Is this not illegal?
No, it is not. As opposed to changing hardware identification numbers (which is illegal even if you do it on a device you own), bypassing security features (such as getting root, unlocking bootloader, removing device or account locks, etc) on devices you own is not illegal.

You are confusing the act of unlocking/"rooting"/removing locks, with illegal use.

Bypassing security features to use a device which is not yours, or to steal a device or whatever else, is illegal, but not because of you bypassing security "features" - - it is illegal because you are committing fraud or theft or whatever the case may be.

If someone doesn't know what Google account was used when the phone was set up (considering this is a feature introduced with Android 5.1 - i.e. modern phones) then the likelihood is that the phone was either bought second hand or stolen, correct?
Most likely, yes.

If the phone was bought second hand, has this security feature enabled, and the seller isn't able to help you by entering the correct credentials (either over the phone, or by returning the phone) then that points towards the seller not knowing what the details are - so how did he/she get hold of the phone?
If you read the Nexus 6 forums, you will see many cases of users which bought phones from eBay or Swappa, and couldn't use them because the sellers forgot to remove their Google accounts before resetting the device. At the time, the only way that was known to get around this was to have the seller give the buyer his Google account credentials over the phone so that the buyer could log in to the phone and remove the seller's Google account. If you were the seller, would you be comfortable giving a stranger you Google login credentials? I certainly wouldn't. So, as you can see, it is not a case of the seller not knowing what the login is, but not wanting to share his login with a stranger.

Sure, Google's implementation of this isn't the greatest implementation, but if we're just handing out details of how to bypass it willy-nilly - then what's the point of these added security features?
What's the point of locked bootloaders? What's the point of preventing root on devices? They are all security features, and there are valid reasons for some individuals to remove/bypass them.

Which is why the device should be returned to the seller to be unlocked in the correct way. If a device has been sold with this lock in place, although it means a delay, the seller should rectify this. If they are unwilling to take the device back to unlock it, then it points at the seller not knowing the account details it was locked with. How do we know these mysterious phones bought online with locks present haven't been stolen and sold online for a quick profit?

Totally irrelevant. Rooting and unlocking bootloaders allows users to install whatever software they like onto a phone that they own. Bypassing a lock to gain access to a phone you (or the seller who sold it to you) potentially don't own is as near as aiding theft.

Do not dowload billas file -virus-

Do NOT even attempt to download and run this file posted by Bills Quick Shortcut.. In fact the member should immediately be removed.

The file once started immediately had Bit defender Total Security 2016 screaming at least 3 virus detections and automatically turned off my user control. This allows suspect users control over your system files. Thought removed, MS Edge (Win 10) and nonstop popups and uncontrollable access trying to close except through task manager. Next thing to do was having to do a system restore. This brought initial install of Win 10 back but with Bit defender unable to turn on AV. Doing a "repair" on bit defender fixed that. Currently updating everything.

And as for the person I hope your computer fries today db...

I believe the problem is with the hosting site, not the file. Dev-Host has been using deceptive ads, and their download pages have multiple and misleading "download" buttons, of which only one is the actual download button -- and the remainder linking to malware. Clicking on the wrong "download" button will install malware on your PC.

I will remove the link. EDIT: Link removed from post #8.

Please do not use Dev-Host for hosting anything, and report any dev-host links you come across on the site.

Two step verification issues at login can easily be solved by generating one time use passwords instead of the normal password that asks for 2 step verification.

Also, I would rather know about the security vulnerabilities of my phone than live in ignorance of them.

Additionally I like this feature. I've been ebay scanned out of money in the past where someone said they didn't get the phone and managed to get their money back because of eBay's ridiculous system. Others almost got scammed the same way after me. Long story short beware when shipping to non trackable countries. This guy made a business of this scam ending up with the phone and his money. In the future I will lock the phone to a bogus gmail account before shipping. When the person gets it they can contact me and I will give them the password. I would do the same for ios devices. Don't release them from your account until the person admits receiving it.

FR Protection Bypass

Here's a more universal and straightforward method which allows to bypass practically every device locked with FR Protection:

Poster has also included several different videos for other devices, but the method is the same. Oh and avoid other people's videos ripped from this(Rootjunky ninja).

Hope helps..

Only works with android proper, not AOSP or anything. Can confirm it doesnt work with ZTE phones.

did that shortcut apk after 10 hours.. bought phone and user forgot to remove google account. even after 72 hours, no avail. with shortcut, i searched USERS, clicked each one until it allowed me to sign in with a NEW google account. (click sign in from browser). also another thing, when in "wifi" on second screen, press and hold the wifi connection to go to wifi calling. click on, then click view 911 rules, click back and back again and settings will automatically pop up (software info> press build 10 times> developer options > usb debugging). OR From there you can change user if you have that option available. Did this on LG G FLEX 2 LS996 zv9. SIDE NOTE: In search of fixing this, I had used a zv8 root image, it worked but wouldnt fix the google issue.

Then they could report it stolen and blacklist it instead of blacklisting it for a factory reset, my dad bought a phone from his coworker who was logged into it before my dad reset it and his co-worker (mine too) doesn't remember the password to that gmail because he had this phone layin around but we do know it was his because all his info was in it..

coldwater,mi
anyone figure out how to do this on LG V10 for ATT, I originally bought it off of eBay was perfectly fine, it was brand new, I have proof I bought it, and I decided to sell it. I always turn off the activation lock, well I sold it on swappa, then when the buyer received it said that callers couldn`t hear him so I said send it back I would refund his money, got the phone back and he never reset the phone and he had activation lock on, and lock screen pin, so i did the hard reset , it wiped the phone but I still have to sign in the previous google account, he gave his info to me and still won`t work, did the accessibility trick video and I can get into settings but there is no option to add a User like most of the videos say to do, so I`m taking it i`m pretty much screwed? I was looking to flash the tot file, but I see that`s not even available yet:( any help would be great
