Some dbag stole my phone

this is why you buy an iphone
or better yet, a dumbphone

how'd they manage to steal your phone unlocked?

>>62426129
well it's locked, it's even finger print locked. They probably reflashed the firmware. Now it's even connected to the thief's wifi network. I can even see the battery percentage.

Why leave it unlocked? Also if the phone is ever reset it will require the user to login with the original Google account.

>>62426161
Can you just see the name of AP or MAC address as well? If you get MAC then
https://api.mylnikov.org/geolocation/wifi?v=1.1&data=open&bssid=[MAC HERE] and it'll give an approximate geographic location, assuming it's in the database but if you're in a large city chances are it will be.

>>62426161
>They probably reflashed the firmware.
does pin on start up prevent that or is it just so thief can't steal your data?

anyway, unfortunate, but t b h unless you were willing to go over to the thief's place and get your device back, device finders aren't really going to help in this situation.

>>62426200
can see the MAC address though. I can only see the AP name

>>62426211
you can call the cops and they'll go check it out in a few weeks :^)

Your phone is open source now. Get over it.

My families house was broken into bout 2 months ago, I didn't have any important stuff there as I was away, but my father had his laptop stolen. To my absolute disbelief cops found it and returned it to him.

Well if you saved all your photos and documents to the cloud they'll be safe anyway so who cares.

Alright I made a police report, hope they'd get it back for me. It's not an expensive phone per se. but still would love to have it back. And google is stupid for not allowing me to track my lost device simply because some one logged out of it.

When you start an Android phone after a wipe/reflash it asks you to login using the last Google account used on that device.

So there's no way he can use it unless he goes GAppsless

The Apple iPhone X doesn't have this problem.

>>62426631
You can flash that and bypass that

>>62426652

Source, because AFAIK it isn't possible without going GAppsless

>>62426161
Only American thieves are this sophisticated.

This true unfortunately. Any android device can be flashed from fastboot, erased of existing OS and data and then flashed a new OS and can be used as new.
You don't need to activate debug mode and other developer options to do this.
I have unlocked xiaomi phones of my friends to install .eu ROMs without getting their bootloader unlock codes.
I've unlocked my old samsung phones in similar ways.

>>62426721 lol op here yes I am also using xiaomi phone. btw whether gappsless or not, just flash china roms and this can be easily bypassed. I have flashed this xiaomi phone before without even removing the locks

>>62426721
>Any android device can be flashed from fastboot, erased of existing OS and data and then flashed a new OS and can be used as new.

Is this true? Any Android device?

>>62426807
Well may be not blackberry or Motorola since they have highly secured bootloaders. but yes, cheap phones like xiaomi have not so much security in them and can be done easily.

>>62426796
Why are you using a shitty Chinese phone that can be flashed with a locked bootloader, that's a horrible security flaw

>>62426839
it's cheap and I'm using it just for the moment before I am eligible for recontract so that I an get a new phone from telco.

>lose phone
>call it
>they pick up
>they return it
Perks of not living in a morally rotten shithole

>>62426170
what is the fucking point of being able to see details like battery % of your stolen phone. are google cuck fetishists?

>>62426913
It gives you and idea of how much longer you'll be able to see the GPS, before the phone powers down and can't be turned on again because they don't have the password to your encrypted bootloader

Or that's how it should work if you don't have a trash phone

>>62426907
They removed my simcard, I wasn't able to get through my phone

Now the thief is charging my phone

>>62426934
that's dumb. as if the fat cuckold's who would bother with that would be physically capable or intimidating enough to even do something if they were able to track down or confront the supposed phone thief. at the end of the day it's just a cuckolding tool.

>>62426957
does it feel good knowing jamal is inserting his thick black charger into your virgin phone?

That's what you get for living in Brazil.

>>62427000
wow triples nice. well. idk how to feel. I guess that's the reality of living in a bad city

>>62426907
In Japan, if you lose your phone, 98% sure they will return it.
Here in Mexico it's the opposite

>>62427043
>In Japan, if you lose your phone, 98% sure they will return it.
It's probably closer to 100%. They'd run after you if you dropped a 100 yen coin.

>>62426839
it doesn't matter if it's chinese or not, it's android.

>>62427093
maybe not blackberry

locate my iphone is literally for dickless little pussymen who can't fight their own battles and need to "track down" crooks to get the police to help them get their toy back.
Real men use android and would rather die than relinquish their possessions to some hood nigger.

>>62427142
this must be some damn smart hood nigger in order to reflash the device. considering their avg iq is probably about 75

>>62427075
Probably yeah, my teacher lost her wallet over there and found it in a police box completely intact

>>62426114
This is why iphone is superior

You can brick you iphone at any time by calling apple and even have them display a message to the nigger that stole it as the phones takes their photo and sends in a swat team

>>62427172
every thug knows how to reset a phone

>>62427000
You call the police and give them the location, how shitty are your local police? Mine do it all the time and do catch people

>>62427211
>brick your phone by calling Apple

You know you can do this via iCloud yourself, right?

>>62427318
If you call your provider you can have the phone banned from all networks in north America, that's extra funny

>>62426721
This is what I like about android. If I fuck something up I can just "reinstall" the OS. You'd be surprised how many times a family member said they forgot their fucking password or their kid changed it and I had to unlock their device.

>>62426169
that can be bypassed easly

>>62426114
i feel sorry for you

>he didn't install cerberus to nuke his phone via sms
i'm sorry for your loss, anon

>>62427260
>call police
>expect to not get shot

yeah, sure must be nice living in make believe land

>>62426631
>unless he goes GAppsless
wtf so it is still possible for some fucker to steal my android and have fully functional phone?

>>62428049
duh. android are the least secure devicess out in the market

>>62427232
lol that twink fuccboi got btfo
really what grown ass twink plays pokemon go and streams it
really have some basic awareness of your surroundings
especially if you gonna wander downtown at night

I bypassed ADM on a Droid turbo a few months ago. It was easy, just had to follow a guide on YouTube. It's now a fully functional phone and I no longer trust my employees with android

did u unlock the bootloader? or still using stock os ?

>>62427232
HAHAHAHA

>>62428202
stock os. too lazy to flash a custom rom for my temporary phone

>>62426807
Of course they can and especially the Chinese ones.

I don't get you fags at all. You boast about how easy it is to break android phones all the time, then act shocked when someone other than yourself does it.

Does anyone truly believe some Xiaomi shitbox has any decent security?

>>62426631
Not with my Xiaomeme, when I reflash this it never ask for the last account, security is even shittier on chinkphones

OP, so how is it going? Did you call the bolis?

>>62428049
ofc, the power of open source bby

What phone?

>>62428295
yeah made an rpt to da bolis. but chances of getting back are probably low. They don't seem motivated to help me

>>62428373
xiaomi 5s

>>62426631
First time I hear this. It doesn't make any sense.

>>62428377
what state? little town or big city? where did you lost the phone: uni, cafe, locker room?

>>62428119
>>62428205
>defending subhuman nigger behavior

kill yourself

>>62426114
Just don't let Jamal near you so he can't steal your phone

>>62429564
I laughed at how easily someone can reset your phone calm down

this is why you don't let people stealing your device

>>62430499
it didn't get bruteforced you dumb cuck, read the thread

would an app like cerberus help prevent this?

>>62430819
Wow you're retarded
If op would stop being faggot and actually use a fingerprint/pin/password/pattern
Some dindu wouldn't have removed his shit

Go kill yourself dipshit

>>62431013
Dude a secure lock screen would do

>>62426668
Not him, but every time I have changed roms on an android device I could pick what ever account I wanted even skipping the log in part.

>>62426114
> he didnt install preyproject in the first 5 minute

You deserve it

>>62431101
>>62426161

>>62426114
>doesn't write down the MAC address of whatever he buys and store it in a safe location
what the fuck dude seriously?

Good

>>62428049
I don't understand why this retarded ass board still recommends Android over iPhone.

>>62427000
Phone thieves are scrawny manlets. They need to be for their line of duty.

I've read several forums already, you cannot unlock the bootloader

>>62426668
You're completely wrong. This only works if you use recovery to factory reset. Using ADB or fastboot to reflash the image resets the device entirely and ADM recognizes it as a new device.

Only Apple seems to have this down. It's one of the benefits of a completely locked system.

>>62431110
How does a lock screen prevent someone booting the phone into fastboot or recovery and reflashing it?

>>62428243
I didn't know it's possible with newest phone, what the fuck bootloader do then..stupid

>>62431955
what if the bootloader is locked

i have spent the last 2 weeks unable to get pas the fucking frp shit on a nexus 6 and without an unlocked bootloader you can't do shit

>>62426114
lmao kys cuck.

>>62432145
Just unlock the bootloader you cuck. It's a Nexus 6... literally just plug it in and "fastbook oem unlock" or something like that.

>>62432337
yeah... you need to have enabled dev options in android and allowed the bootloader to be unlocked... and in newer versions of android, you can't get to the developer options in the pre-login environment even if you get to the settings menu/install a launcher/create a shortcut to the dev options

>>62432380
Damn, Google is shoring up their security. Only took them forever. Haven't used Android since I sold my 6P for a 6 Plus a year ago.

>>62432416
yeah its mega gay for anyone who buys a secondhand device from a dumb retard

LAMO'ng @ yur life.

FRP removal is like 20 candabux
IMEI Blacklist removal is like 50 Dollarydoos

My Xiaomi mi4 is currently activation locked by Xiaomi. (forgot me mi account password because who ever fucking uses that)

How do i bypass this?

>>62426312
check your router if you used it in the past 48 hours on wifi, maybe you can recover it

>>62426114
>not buying phone insurance
>not making weekly backups

>>62432755
Jamal only steals iPhones and Galaxy S phones. They ignore budget phones and find the most expensive phone they can find, which is a good thing for poorfags.
