> it was never locked
It was. This is the Google equivalent of iCloud lock.

>>62391572
How exactly does it work? Shouldn't factory reset also get rid of the lock?

>>62391613
No, this is anti theft protection. So when someone steals and resets your phone they won't be able to use it without logging in

>>62391613
no tyrone, you have to use the "reset this phone" under the damn storage option in the settings.

I had to fucking open one J5 with this cancer after i did a factory reset in the bootloader. I understand why they use it but its still fucking annoying.

Tyrone this is Android, you just need to flash it.

>>62391656
Phones get stolen for parts now anyway. You can steal 6 phones on a motorized bicycle in about 30 minutes, then go and sell each one for parts at $50.

It's android though. If he can follow instructions he could just flash it. Android Security doesn't exist.

>>62391311
it's called FRP, there are ways to get around it but they're different for different handsets

try google

>>62391740
Flashing doesn't work if you try to change the stock rom version, not sure if other roms have this cancer enabled.

>Flashing doesn't work if you try to change the stock rom version
true

op which handset are we dealing with here?

>>62391740
>>62391711
Even factory reset from the recovery and unlocked bootloader doesn't get rid of it. You can flash custom rom though.

>>62391802
he can actually flash an older build/version of the stock rom and try one of the FRP bypass tools

>>62391916
yes, thats what i did with J5, it was fucking annoying and felt like i was trying to open win 98 without password

>>62392157
yep it's annoying but possible, which I assume would be good news for op

>>62391311
shenanigan

What a fucking moron
