i dont know anything about adb but i found another method somewhere on XDA. He said to make a nandroid backup then wipe data from recovery then restore only data of the nandroid backup. Will this method work and will all my data be there?

I may or may not work...its the only solution i think for your problem...

Dude get it wrong more times and sooner or later it asks to use your Google account?

But that requires you to have mobile data enabled.without it,you cannot sign in.is your data enabled?

This sounds fishy to me.... all you need to do is enter your Google account info next to emergency call. How can we trust that it is actually your phone ?

Locked out of my phone for 72 hours.

Hello guys,
Just bought a Nexus 5x from someone and i can't assign my email,always telling me to use the previous owner mail.The former owner said he reseted the phone from the google account not from the phone itself.From what i read online a security measure has triggered on my phone and i can't do anything about it....he even game me his email/password to use,but that doesnt work eighter.
Is there nothing i can do but wait 3 days?Will i be able to add my email after those 3 days expire?
When did the countdown start?The moment he reseted the phone?He reseted the phone on tuesday night so i need to wait untill friday night for 3 days to pass,but he changed the password to the email today.Will any of this have an impact?
Thank you!

that all sounds a bit strange ... anyway, did you try to hard reset the phone in recovery? after that you should be able to setup the phone for the first use again.
here's a howto for the hard factory reset in recovery: http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-nexus-5x-north-america/

Yes i did hard reset still the same.In the "safe mode" it says "Device Locked'.I think the problem originated when he reseted the phone from his google account,instead of phone settings....i guess this is used to lock the phone?Thats why its always asking me for the original gmail account.
Only the original gmail account can unlock it?He previous owner gave me the account today to try,but it didnt work...im confused.

The security feature is called FRP, factory reset protection.
There may be other ways to bypass it but the surefire way is to use the TOT method to completely reflash the phone.

When you reset a phone you need to get rid of pin/pattern/password or it will trigger factory reset protection which forces you to install using the account that the phone was originally installed under.
Now if that account changes their password, then there will be a 72hr lockout. Everytime you try to install it will reset the 72hr counter.
I don't believe you can install even with original account/password until the counter has run its course.
Perhaps LGUP will work as mentioned above.
Someone posted this. I don't know if it works.

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that. When Open Beta 12 came out I had the same problem. After several days, despite all help that I got, I was forced to clean storage and make a clean flash.
Did you do a backup? If yes, did you transfer it to your PC?
If at least one answer is 'no' I've got bad news for you
Losing your personal data is never fun...

These are three most important hints I've been given.
Keep in mind that you should try a lot of times and don't give up! Maybe there's some way to at least recover your files that hasn't been discovered yet. Good luck
PS: If you can't transfer big files (like a ROM) via adb, then there's a solution:

I'm really sorry for your loss. But at least some photos have survived
Well, we have learned our lesson - always do a backup and keep it in a safe place.

Hi, I have following problem:
I have lineaegeOS on my chiron, device is unblocked.
System doesn't respond - I can put my 4 digits code but nothing happens, I still see begining page with the lock.
I can still have TWRP on the phone, but (I don't know how) partition is coded, even if I put my 4 digits unlocking code (information is: wrong code).
Is there any way to make my phone live? using usb otg can help here?
Please help me and sorry for my language - I don't know this technical words...
If this is wrong place to posat this question, please let me know as well.

You should ask your question in the thread of the ROM you installed.

Including internal storage, I will not have access to the rom

So you should format everything instead of just wipe
And use the newest version of TWRP (for me it changed much)
and then install ROM from OTG pen

Currently I'm waiting for OtG, I will let you know of results.

your encryption of your data(internal storage) is corrupted. only way to solve it is factory reset where it will erase data and internal storage. either way your data is long gone.
i have bricked many of my phones cause of encryption. nothing could save it(had all my data got messed up.)

) man, ...everithing u must delete from your device; idk if installing from sideload or otg are real solution (try them before doing final alternative), but if thats doesnt work u must wipe EVERITHING. My advice for u is to factory reset and wipe everithing if otg and sideload doesnt work... i wanted to help u with an opinion about otg or sideload, but i dont know nothing about thats...search in XDA and see if another persons had this problem... myself i had that, but i deleted everithing unfortunately.... good luck and dont be scarr...that problem have solution

OK. After wiping data, phone started working (with some bugs...) , but still have problem with coding data in TWRP - access code to the phone doesn't work. But as I said - phone works, I'm on nightly lineageos which was put to the phone few days ago. Currently I have problem with refreshing new OS, putting new version, without errors.
