Hey,
has anyone tried to add another user after installing android 5.0? I wonder if there is no complete initial setup for this user... Logging in with the gmail account is no problem, but after some questions concerning location history and so on... That's it! No possibility to restore apps (e.g. Tap&Go). I can't remember how it was with KitKat, but it bothers me...
Okay, I think there is no backup & restore option in general for other users... What a pity :-/

I assumed you reset your phone while it's still locked and you forgot your Google account, is this correct?
If yes, then sadly there's no way to unlock the phone without your former Google account, as far as I know.
This was made by Google to prevent theft on your phone as explained in http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...evice-protection-feature-and-how-do-i-use-it/
And what about people like me who are the phone is locked by mistake?

Try pulling your sim card and resetting again. When it starts up DONT turn on internet.. When you get the "configuring your phone" screen use power and volume up 4 or 5 times then power and volume down 4 or 5 times.. If it doesnt work keep trying. I just randomly pressed the key combinations and it went to a "skip activation" option and bypass google FRP.. (i was stuck on the configuration screen and it didn't give the the chance to log into my account) Once your in ADD YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO THE PHONE AND RESET IT AGAIN.. youve just effectively took over the phone. Hope that helps..
First of all, I salute everybody that chips in to this comunity, active or less ! G'day, gents !
And now, to the problem(s) :
I have a stock 16g/2g D855 (Romania/Orange), no root, no tweaks, nothing, except an original battery change couple of months back.
My phone didn't take OTA updates, don't know why, but i've been updating it via PC Suite / Mobile Support Tool.
Last update was 5.0, all was fine.
Now, on the other hand, after the update to 6.0, a small hell broke loose.
First of all, until now, after the power on LG image, i had a small LG animation, now it has changed to some stupid Orange explosion crap + wallpaper. That doesn't bother me that much, but the fact that whatever wallpaper i choose, it changes it back to the Orange one right after restart...
Second, and third, and fourth & fifth ...
QuickCircle apps no longer work (even though they are activated and selected), so my "submarin"ish flip case is useless... Facedetection, no reaction... KnockCode, same thing, doesn't even lock the phone, no matter the security type. I can't even change my Display Off style anymore. Developer Options, gone, not available for this user (altough user is owner) and clicking hundreds of times on build no. doesn't do anything. Notification bar, no kind of available selection on it (like wifi or data, etc), except user & the notification button in the button bar doesn't even slide it down. Plus a couple more of these "small unfortunate events" :silly:
But the biggest problem is that when and if i turn on the wifi, the phone almost instantly restarts, and keeps doing so if i'm not fast on the touch and disable it (like split second after finshing boot) and thus becoming an unusable plastic...:crying:
So i've tried reinstalling the update, via Recovery Upgrade two times (all went smooth) but problems are still there. I'm starting to think that this might be a something wrong with the update. Eitherway, main concern is, what do i do now ? Wireless is 30% of my job...
Specifing that i'm pretty much a noobie at this kind of stuff, thank you all for taking the time to read about my problem !:highfive:
the software may be having some issues, i recommend that you download the kdz file for the software and flash it via flashtool, all problems should be fixed and the o2 bloat will be removed.

Thank you for your reply
But doesn't this require root ?
And most of all, won't i lose everything ? Settings, accounts, contacts, data ? Or is there anyway to backup everything ?

It doesn't require root.
But it would certainly wipe everything including your internal sd. The only way is to take a backup using any app and moving the backup files temporarily to a pc or any other external storage.

Thank you for replying
Ok, seems logical. Any advice about some software that cand do that properly ?
I mean all & all. Accounts, passwords, contacts and so on...because I can't remember my Google account pass (or any other one for that matter) for the life of me, and the maps to the nav app are a pain to dld.
And besides that, can the backup be actually performed, since i can't access the Developer Debug Mode ?

There are many apps on the play store for taking backups. You can use the to take backups of apps, contacts, messages and so on.
However to backup accounts, passwords and app data you require a rooted device and could use titanium backup.

Well then that's out of the question... Having no data plan, any Play Store installation is ruled out, could probably be done via PC Suite.
I've tried using Helium, doesn't do much good. I'm thinking about rooting the phone, but with my luck, i'll probably brick it.
I wonder if there's anyway to find my Google account pass...
L.E. according to devtester, LGD855 MyIMEI A6RRTN D85530C_00 (D85530C_00_0211) is the latest version for it, pretty much the same as my last update. So ,do i re.dld this one and flash it or i go with the D85530B_00_1217 from the Quick Download page ?
L.E.2 : So far i've tried both kdz files mentioned above, plus D85521C_00_1204.kdz (Lollipop). All unsuccesful. In Download Mode, using Flash Tool as is, selecting Normal than Start. The Marshmallows kdz show the exact same problems and Lollipop doesn't even want to install. It goes up tu 4% on Pc (0 on phone) and Retry appears until Exit.
Aw man, the truth MUST be out there...

Thanks for the link, but i managed to somehow solve the problem :good:
ok, so it took some time, but finally figured this bugger out.
For anyone that needs assistance in the future, let me know and i'll support you as much as i can.
It took me 2 crazy noobie a** days, and almost lost everything, but somehow i managed not to.
So, from the start, let me just say that Remember Password on FF was heaven for me.
Mainly, for not losing everything, you definetly NEED to know your Google account. For me it was setup before to back everything up, but somehow, i forgot the pass This is where i used my PC and logged in to G+ (again, thank God for pass remembering) and reset the pass by sms. Spot on !:victory:
Then connect your phone via usb and within PC Suite (Lg Bridge didn't work for me btw) drag & drop everything from Phone to PC. Apps, contacts, messages, all.
Next, the only sofware that actually worked in flashing my G3 was LGUP. Had some problems with it by not recognising my phone, but i found a version that worked.
Once that done, i removed the Sd Card, entered Download mode and tried flashing D85530B_00_1217.kdz (MM) by selecting Upgrade. That din't work. Same problems. Tried it again, but this time selecting Refurbish (wich wipes out everything) and voila ! Alive & kickin' !
Then it's just a matter of patience resetting your phone back. Enter the Google account with your freshly changed pass and the phone will basically ask you to restore itself back.
This was a long story short, but if anyone needs more detailed aspects, let me know.
The only thing i didn't figure out yet is why the Orange bloated kdz had Slow Mo option for camera and this standard one doesn't.
Thanks to everybody for their support and the community for hosting us !
Cheers:highfive:
Hi,
Is there any way I can backup my gmail and restore it on a different phone without signing in? I don't remember the password and don't have a way of recovering it. The account is currently signed in on my G2, and I want to have it synced on my G4. I haven't tried anything yet like titanium backup,etc., but I'm willing to root both phones if necessary. My G2 D801 is running Lollipop 5.0.2 and the G4 H811 is running Marshmallow 6.0 . Please help, thanks.
Just reset the google password from the G2
I tried, but i don't have any recovery options(like security questions or recovery email). Is there any way to freeze the app and copy it over to the g4?
What you ask is not possible. What if you open chrome on the G2 and go to google.com? Are you logged in on that gmail account? If so, change the password.
Yes I'm logged in in chrome but how do I reset it without knowing the current password?
Open a chrome window on the g2, go into menu and select request desktop site, go to Google. Com, click on your account on the upper right and select manage account, go thru the password reset procedure. It may auto fill your old password or try the recovery.
Hi all,
got my OP5t and initially set it up without my gmail account because I did not have my 2nd factor with me. Now, I wanted to restore apps and settings from my previous phone (Nexus 6P that hard-bricked itself).
Doing it the "official" way, there should be a screen saying "Which device" during setup so I can restore apps from my prev phone. So I factory reset the 5t to go through setup again. However, this screen does not show up at all. I checked the backups on google drive, and the N6P backup is definitely there. I tried to reset the 5t to factory settings and run through the process again, nothing...
Is the reason that my N6P backup comes from an oreo device and the 5t is "only" nougat? No backwards-compatibility with backups? If so, any ideas on how to "fix" this? Or am I missing something else?
Thx
No ideas as for the problem itself sadly (as everything google lately, it's a bit buggy f'd up...) but can you restore thorugh nfc / bluetooth ?

Unfortunately no since my N6P hard-bricked itself So I'm afraid the only way to get my original data would be through the backup on GDrive
Same problem here. I had to create a new device.
After some try n6p find the op5t, but no backup.
