Google is like a kind uncle who wishes only the best for his loved ones. However, excessive "custody" and the desire to do "the best" often turn into a disservice. With the Android 5.1 Lollipop update, smartphones and tablets have received an additional feature that is designed to protect devices if they are lost or stolen. The principle of operation is quite simple: after resetting the device settings, and upon first boot, the smartphone or tablet requires you to enter the Google account to which this device was previously linked. However, if you bought a used device, or simply forgot your account, this can significantly complicate your life. We can help you bypass Google Device Protection.
Method 1
- Call this smartphone.
- In the dialer, write any numbers and click "Add a number to an existing account"
- After that, the system will prompt you to add google account, enter your details.
- Save contact with a random number in your account.
- Reboot your smartphone.
Method 2.
- Insert the SIM card into the device on which you want to get rid of the lock.
- Call this smartphone.
- Accept the call and click on the "add new call" button.
- In the dialer, we dial the code for entering the engineering menu * # * # 4636 # * # *
- After dialing the code, your device should automatically re-transfer you to the advanced settings menu.
- Press the "back" button and get into the settings menu.
- In the settings we find the item "Restore and Reset" or "Backup and Restore".
- Disable the "Data backup" function and other recovery functions.

Method 3.
This method It is only relevant if your device supports Fastboot.- Install Android drivers.

The development of the android system is one of the main tasks of Google. Among the many new features, we want to tell you about a new protection program that has appeared on all phones of the android system with version 5.1 and higher. Thanks to it, for example, if the phone is lost or stolen, the owner of the device has the opportunity to block it. Thus, no one will be able to load the phone without knowing the login and password from your account. It will also work when you reset the phone settings (hard reset).
This feature is called Google Factory Reset Protection, or FRP lock for short.
A similar security scheme has long been implemented by Apple in its products and has proven itself well. Here's what happens if you do (for example, when removing a pattern or phone firmware). When you first start and check access to wifi networks, the phone will ask verify account... A similar inscription will appear.
Of course, if you remember the necessary data (they are entered when buying a phone), login and password, there will be no problems. But here's how to bypass Google account verification if you have forgotten all your personal data and there is no way to restore them via email, and the firmware does not help?
There are several ways, which one is right for you, I cannot say, since each of the phone manufacturers (Samsung, Micromax and others) release models with their own individual characteristics- various function keys and software stuffing.
- Reset system settings and remove DRM license without cable.
To do this, we need to get into the phone settings by bypassing the standard download through the help system. Watch in the video step by step instructions on the example of a Lenovo phone.
- Soft reset via app.
The procedure is more complicated here. To do this, we need an OTG cable with the program downloaded to the flash card, or simply reset the application on Micro SD (StartSettings.apk) and insert it into the device. More similar in the video using the ZTE phone as an example.
- Other non-standard methods.
Due to the huge number of models, there is no single one correct decision this problem. For example, in this video, the author turned off the modem with Internet access during the check and was able to bypass the confirmation on the LG G4 phone.
Maximum full list all non-standard methods are presented.
I hope that with the help of our material you managed to unlink your phone from your Google account. You still have questions, write them in the comments
Many of you leave your options for bypassing protection. We want to share one of them. This method was used on the Huawei MediaPad T3 7 tablet.
1- Charge your tablet 100%
2- Turn on, select language, region and connect to Wi Fi by accepting the terms of use.
3- On the next page " Google services"Poke at the blue inscription" Google Privacy Policy "and in the window that appears, click and hold on any of the words, so that an additional menu appears in which there is" Web Search ". Click on it, and select Opera (namely opera, because in chrome it may not be possible to open downloaded files).
4- Download Test + DPC. I had version 4 (as an option, use other quickshortcutmaker and Google Account Manager programs). I don't know how anyone pumps, but I went to my Yahoo mail, where in the incoming messages I sent myself from another mail desired file... Install, run. Select the second item "set up device owner", encrypt the device. Although in many videos I have seen choose the first one. I have not personally tried it. A reboot is in progress. Several times further, and then a DPC window pops up with a proposal to configure a profile. We accept the agreement. Customizable. Then some kind of tablet will pop up endlessly (I don't remember which one, there is no tablet at hand already). We reboot.
5- Clicking further, it should start (if the DPC menu pops up with a proposal to create a profile in English, select the lower value "skip".
6- That's it, the tablet is running in normal mode. We go to the settings and do a full reset. After turning on, we rejoice at the unlocked device
Also in the comments and private messages they ask in the Google system. We have a separate article about this. Here we are discussing a little something else, namely possible ways bypass confirmation.
Let's supplement the material with another video from a visitor. This method will be useful to all owners of Xiaomi phones, regardless of the model.

- In addition to this, press and hold the power button
Then you will enter the factory settings recovery mode.

File name recovery
I had a problem with my phone: if someone calls while using it, a message appears that the Phone application has been stopped. I asked on the forum and they said that you need to reset the phone settings. After the reset, the problem was solved, but the music, it turns out, was in the phone's memory. Is it possible to restore it, or at least find out what kind of music it was?
Answer... You cannot restore the music. Find out the names of the files - yes, but only if they are saved in the file table. To do this, use the recovery method from internal memory, which we described in this guide. This procedure is rather complicated and time-consuming.
Phone memory full
I had an automatic factory reset on my tablet with Android v4.0.3. After that, I can not load the application, writes: the internal memory is full, free up space. But the memory is pure. What should I do?

2. Enable usb debugging on your phone 3. Download and install custom Android firmware for your device (rather insecure method, only suitable for advanced users!)
After the reset, the notes on the phone were deleted
Restored factory settings to Android, but forgot to transfer phone notes to another phone. What to do in this case? Is there any way to recover text notes?
Answer... If you have previously stored text notes in a standard Google notebook application, recovery is unlikely: after a hard reset, all application settings are deleted.
However, if you've set up syncing with Samsung Cloud, you can easily restore your notes in the Samsung Notes app by re-syncing them with your account.

Did encryption, there was a failure. There was nothing to do but press the "reset" button. But before the reset I had a bunch of photos, there are photos of my parents, travels, etc. I really need these photos, I'm already in hysterics and I don't know how to live on when your whole life was on your smartphone.

I reset the phone to him completely and now the language selection screen appears and after the search for wai fay. Doesn't go further. I inserted SIM cards, it still does not let me go further. What happened to him now and how to fix it?
Answer... This means that the problem is precisely that the phone cannot connect to the wifi network. Find a public network and try to connect. If it doesn’t work out anyway, change the firmware to a custom one.
The glass on the phone (samsung a5) was replaced and the phone was reset, photos and videos were gone. Is it possible to recover and how? I tried it through your program - it didn't work.
Answer... Curious to know which recovery programs you used. The question also arises where you were looking for the deleted data - in the internal memory or on the sd card. As mentioned above, a factory reset erases the internal memory, so you need utilities like DiskDigger for Android. Another recovery method is by creating a snapshot of the internal memory and then searching for files on it ..
Android 5.1 Lenovo A2010. I wanted to update, but I clicked on the factory settings and all the photos and videos I needed disappeared. I downloaded it, but it cannot be opened, i.e. does not come off in the phone. What to do to recover deleted photos and videos?
Answer... Really. Tenorshare Data Recovery runs only from a computer. It is not a fact that with its help you will be able to return data after a hard reset (that is, reset to factory settings). You need a way to recover from internal memory. See the answers above, where we answered a similar question.
I made a hard reset on the lg D724 phone, having previously synchronized everything. But I missed the most important thing - notes from the notepad application. The wife had many important information in a notebook. Can you please tell me how you can restore this?
Answer... Try it. We have not tested, but the developers claim that MobiSaver can recover notes. However, it is important to note that after a hard reset, the internal memory is erased, and not all applications are able to work with it. So, frankly, there is very little chance of getting your text notes back after a reset.
I have samsung galaxy s7 edge. The problem is that when she entered the camera, she gave me such a notification "Camera error warning", after which every time I entered the camera, the phone gives this error. I reset the phone to factory settings, but it did not help ... clearing the cache in the camera settings and I dumped her data, but all my efforts were even, nothing helped.Went to the service center and said that they did not have the equipment to disassemble and see what was wrong with the phone, and in return they could send it to Moscow for repair, but it will take weeks or more. I don’t need it. Is it possible that if I roll the phone back to previous version OS, that is, on 6.0, since I have 7.0. Or just reflash your phone. Tell me if it helps? If not, then help and tell me a couple of ways to fix this error.
Answer... Go in and check if the camera is working. This will help determine if additional applications installed by you or along with the firmware affect the camera.
You may be using custom firmware - if so, we recommend finding alternative versions or flashing your phone to the official firmware.
If a factory reset really didn't help, you need to contact a Samsung service center or, as you mentioned, send it to Moscow for repair.
The phone has been reset to factory settings, how to recover data from the phone? I tried it through applications from Google Play, almost all of them require root. What is it and how do I get it?
Answer... Root access (or superuser rights) gives rescue programs complete control over the Android file system, including deleting and overwriting files. Although, in essence, recovery programs only need read-mode access.
Even if you find an application that does not require root, the chances of recovery are extremely small. Try installing the KingoRoot apps (installing root in a few steps) and DiskDigger for Android, it should work.
After resetting the Prestigio NK3 settings, the system writes that the sd card is not supported and suggests formatting. The reset was carried out with the card removed. There is a lot of necessary data, can you tell me if there is a solution?
Answer... Most likely, the hard reset did not in any way affect the safety of the data on the memory card. If you remove the memory card while other files are being written to it from the phone, the sd card file table may be damaged. You need to connect it to a computer or laptop through a card reader, check for reading errors with the standard Windows utility. If the errors are corrected, the sd card should open on the phone. If not, Recuva or DiskDigger with Dig Deep mode should find all files.
My wife made a hard reset on the Samsung Grand 2 Duo phone without making a backup. Photos and music are not so important, all phone contacts were lost and it was not possible to restore application data from Play Market... In all applications, everything had to start over. Please tell me, is it possible to restore it somehow?
Answer... The likelihood of recovering user data from applications depends on each application separately. So, if the user data was stored on the sd card, then you can restore the data. Otherwise, after a hard reset, you need to scan internal memory trying to find every single application file (the probability of doing this is rather small).
Phone contacts can be imported from a SIM card - of course, if you took care of a backup copy of the contacts in advance. Check to see if your contacts are synced with your Google account and the Contacts service assigned to it.
