Hello all. As you can tell by my post count, I'm a noob, so please forgive me if I ask any stupid questions.
I am having an issue with a software program that I purchased from an eBay "reseller" that promises to unlock any Blackberry model phone for use on any network. The program works, but my problem is that when I try to retrieve any codes, it keeps asking me for a username and password and I was not provided with either one from the merchant I purchased it from. I have tried contacting the seller several times but have gotten no response as yet, and I don't believe that I will get one as it has been almost two weeks since I purchased the software.
So I guess what I wanted to ask is if there is a default username/password that the software will recognize? I'm pretty much at my wits end here and would really appreciate any tips or tricks that anyone can give me.
Thanks in advance for all who respond .
No from what I understand about that software. The username and password are a one time use thing and have a certain number of credit assigned to it for unlocking a phone.

I used your Ticket system ...and didnt explain everything.
So maybe you friends, can help me out.
Here is the descripton, that I didnt send with my ticket (no 598668).
ser name: Chovus
Please friends, if you catch time, and want to help, you can send me NETWORK/sim UNLOCK code. I give up from iPhone, and give it to my brother. This is my first WinMobile phone, so I was not a big poster on forum. I am using it right know as a MP4 player ;-)
I just unlocked the phone, and installed custom ROM. New radio also, but SIM is not working...I know that I have to pay, but I am not having PayPal in my country (you can check it), neither any VISA.
I just get this phone from my uncle, and I wanted to use it in Sebia.
IMEI :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please, and i thanks in advance
Sorry if my English is bad...I use gTranslate ;-)
Phone is HTC Touch Pro 2 (T-mobile)....so GSM
Chovus, please edit your post to remove the IMEI number. It is not a good idea to make that visible to everyone.
Thanks for advice friend.
So I will PM my IMEI if anyone want to help. Thanks in advance
that unlock service is not working. I get no response at all. go to ebay, search for "unlock pro2" it's $10 there and you'll get answer the same day with a code.
for paypal you can register in another country. or not register at all. you don't need to be registered to send $. just use bank card with enabled online shopping (like visa card)
Hello all,
Today I found a sIII. I'm trying to figure out how to get into the locked phone (swipe style password). I have no password, pin, or google account information.
Ideally I'd like to unlock the phone and retain the current information so that I can track down the owner. (I don't know why anyone puts passwords on their phones as it's impossible to track down the owner!!) I'm aware of the "bug" that allows you to get into the emergency contact section etc., but I'm not sure that works when the phone does not have service as it says something about service currently unavailable.
If I can't get into it and retain the current info, will a hard reset allow me to bypass the password? Maybe rooting the phone?
Any advice is appreciated.

I say you see what provider the phone is for. call the provider and tell them that you found a device. if its a cdma give them the ESN and they should be able to tell the owner of the phone that it has been found. i think that is what you should do.
Get into download more and factory reset is worth a try but if you look hard enough. Or you tubes there's ways to do it I saw a video about that on YouTube the other day but I didn't bother looking at the video.

I don't know how to get pass the lock screen.
However afrer hard reset, although the data will be wiped, u can dial
##786# 》 View 》 mobile number.
For sprint phones, unless u activate this phone on a different account, previous number is stored.
Good luck

Just take it to a sprint store if its a sprint phone.
Not saying you are because i don't know anythong about you. But even though you said you want to track down the owner. Asking how to get around security measures on a phone makes the thought of keeping it or selling it for $$ pop in my head. Again no offense.

Thanks for the info guys. I know it sounds a little shady, but if I was really trying to keep it I'd say; "LOL forgot my password, pin, and google info hehe I'm a silly gurl plz help!" Problem is I found it on a mountain and I'm out of town and there is no service for me to answer any calls it receives. by the time I drive back down to get service, I'll be too far to turn back to return it.
I'm trying to do the right thing, but if it's going to be next to impossible it might just be a lost cause.
If there was no password on it, it would take me a couple minuted to track down an email or phone number I could track this guy/girl down with, unfortunately, if this is not the case it I might hold onto it.
You're trying too hard to be a good samaritan. This is simple. If it is a Sprint/Verizon/AT&T/TMobile phone, stop by the nearest Sprint/Verizon/AT&T/TMobile store and just simply drop it off saying i found this phone and want it to get back to it's owner. The employees know how to look up the details via ESN and or IMEI and get in touch with the account holder. It is that simple.
All this asking for how to bypass the PIN or lock code is irrelevant....unless you have personal designs on the phone yourself.

It doesn't have to be the store nearest to where you found the phone. It could be any store. They all have the same computers. And can ship phones.

Hi everyone
This is my first post here and a sad one at present.
i restored my G3 back to stock last night and all seemed to go well but now my phone says McaFee mobile security your device is locked and is asking for a pin to unlock it.
i don't have this pin and i don't have a clue how to get it, i purchased the phone as a used mobile and it was all good until i did the root back to stock because lollipop was causing some serious lag issues.
can anyone please help me with a way around this if possible
big thanks in advance
Contact the person who sold you the phone. He entered the PIN. McAfee thinks the phone is stolen now.
You can try flashing stock firmware (kdz) file with CSE flash. It could help

Thanks for the reply
I contacted the seller and it seems the phone is infact 3rd hand if not more and basically he does not have the pin
i did the firmware flash and thats why I'm in the pickle now as the phone knows its been factory reset and MacaFee kicks in for security, the sellers not interested as he sold me the phone working which it was but lollipop was just killing the phone when i updated it and after trying to get back to kitkat I'm in brick land
If anyone else has a suggestion or can help then please do get in touch if possible
Thank you
In fact the previous owner set up an account here: McAffee Mobile Security.
Contact someone there and explain your situation.
I will contact McAfee for sure and see if they can help me but I do believe the answer I will receive will be can't help and I come to this conclusion through general security measure because I'm pretty sure anyone could steel a phone and call them up asking for the unlock code but let's see what they say.
If anyone has had this happen and have found a way around the issue please do send me a private message if you don't wish to publish it as I am stuck big time at present
Cheers
I have just got off the phone with McAfee customer support here in the UK and well to be blunt I'm up that creek without a paddle
Nothing they can do for me because even though the software licence is valid and I have the original owners email address that confirms this because I don't have a prof of purchase for the phone like a receipt or mobile number for the original owner they can not help me I'm anyway
All they said I can do is to keep emailing the owner with this email address and hope for a reply and if I get one enter the pin and it will unlock
So people be very careful if you don't have the pin for your phone as it looks like I have just lost £240 and now have a brick to look at
Again if any of you wonderfully cleaver people know of a fix please do help me out if possible
Thanks
Joe

have you tried any diff roms or cyanogen mod? maybe a diff software wont have the mcafee on like cyanogen mod
No I haven't tried to put any other software on because I can no longer access download mode as the McAfee has a kill switch and won't let me do anything from what I can see.
All I can do it switch on my device I can't even get into setting properly because the McAfee block kicks in to quickly and I've tried probably 20 odd times
If anyone can explain a way for me to flash another operating system onto my handset please get in touch as I will try anything rather than have a dead phone and e out of pocket
Cheers
Take it some private repair shop. They will solve your issue.

Is there any round way to make Leeco account somehow if you are not from USA, CHINA, India and 3 or 4 other countries Leeco would accept ?
If something crashes, I can't even send a feedback or anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
" Contacts stopped working, so please describe what happened bcos we would like to hear from you what happened."
After I write everything, there comes a reply something like this:
"OPS, SORRY, YOU ARE NOT FROM FEW COUNTRIES WE ACCEPT FEEDBACK FROM. BYE, AND NEXT TIME BE MORE CAREFULL WHEN READING A SMALLPRINT IN YOUR PHONE BOX.
Thanks in advance for any help.
P. S. Phone was bought from Banggood. 2 months ago.

Hello fellas(and ladies)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9, from t-mobile, dark blue. I've locked myself out of the device, and I have a friend that is going to help me get it back working. In order for him to be able to help me, he needs to know the model number. I know it's a SM-G960.. but how do I determine the exact model (i.e. sm-g960f, sm-g960e, etc). I'm unable to login to the phone so I cant check it like that, and the back cover is sealed on there as you know unless you have the tools to remove the cover (which I don't). Is there another way to find out which model it is, like download mode or recovery mode or something? Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for your advice.
Edit- US Model

You just keep locking yourself out of devices don't you....

Well one thing you can do is reset your Google password on a computer then try to login again after 24 hours. Surely you have a recovery email address which you can use?
This is Samsung's instructions on what to do:
If you already reset your device, but don't remember your Google username and/or password, the device can't be used. In that case, you can do one of these:
If you know your Google username but can't remember the password, you can reset your password on the device, or at www.google.com. It can take up to 24 hours for a new password to sync with all registered devices. After 24 hours, you can try logging in to your phone with the new password.
If you have multiple Google Accounts, and you can't remember which Google Account you set up on your device, visit https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager.
Log in with your Google username and password and check the list of devices registered to the account. If you don't see the device listed on the account, it means the device is registered to a different account. Use the same process to check for devices linked to your other Google Accounts. When you find the registered account, use it to log in to your device.
If you can't remember any of your Google Account information, you can send your device, along with proof of purchase, to an authorized Samsung Service Center. Samsung has special tools to reset the phone to factory defaults with no protection enabled.

Furthermore:
It seems dodgy to me that you posted a topic pretty much asking the same thing about a month ago regarding a totally different phone here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/help/galaxy-j7-g-oogle-verification-issue-t3852720/
FRP is there to prevent lost/stolen phones from being used, if you've bought a phone that is FRP locked you should take it up with the seller. Not try to break the lock yourself!
