I know there are other threads regarding this but those included someone having TWRP already flashed and in this case I do not.
I sadly took a chance and bought a Nexus 5X off someone on Kijiji and it looks like I got got scammed.
I've own other Nexus phones in the past but was unaware of the OEM Lock on the latest devices and it is in a locked state and I do not know the google account to unlock it (as it wasn't my phone prior to this)
None of the fastboot/adb commands work as it is locked.
I just wanted to know if there was any other way I could fix this or if I have brick on my hands here. Any assistance would be amazing as this would mean I just blew my money away.

So you purchased a 5X that wasn't factory reset? Have you tried asking the previous owner for assistance? They might be able to remotely wipe the phone using Android Device Manager.

It was reset and required login of the previous account to unlock it. Unfortunately, the previous owner is nowhere to be found...
The build number is MHC19J and I've been told that I am screwed to unlock it.

Sadly you may be right, but like any good thief he seems to be unreachable, so I unfortunately can't get the money back. I have checked the IMEI and it is clean so i should be able to activate it.
I just need a way to bypass the FRP (Factory Reset Protection). I've seen posts on this on XDA but they are for patches up to the March 1st Patch. I build I have is the March Patch and I can't seem to find any workarounds for this patch level.
In the event that someone has found a way please let me know as it would save me a lot of grief.
Thank you for your responses.

I don't know if will help, but the N preview may not include or may reset FRP. Usually OTAs only include the changed files but since the N preview was bricking locked phones, Google released full OTAs that contained everything. You could try flashing it with ADB while in the stock recovery.

I was thinking the same thing but I don't want to make the situation worse than it already is. I have seen vids from RootJunky showing that the N preview is bypassable and it can be done with a reset.
Will the OTA wipe all the data on the device?
Just to be clear are these the OTA's you are referring too? http://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html
Thank you for your advice.

Bummer. I was going to suggest THIS. But there isnt a 16 TOT file.
So you were able to successfully flash N from the stock recovery? And you simply couldnt get past the login screen? FRP is a *****. I had no idea what it was when I sold my Moto X Pure Edition last year. I ended up giving the guy I sold it to my password so he could unlock it. That was after about a day of searching for a workaround. Then my sis bought a G4 and when it arrived it was locked with FRP. We ended up finding a tool to wipe it out. Such a pain. Lol. Good luck finding a solution. Let us know if you get it working some other way.

I unfortunately don't have a sim to test with. The one in my current is a micro not a nano. I am going to contact a repair store tomorrow to see if they can assist and I will try it out.
Sorry yes I did exactly as he suggested and it didn't work.
It gives me the option during setup to setup like it was a new phone but then as soon as I connect to my WiFi it performs a check and states the same reset message.
Which is why I might be thinking that it is the 72 hour lock on and maybe it will go away once it is complete.

I would try it again. If you factory reset from within android, it should disable FRP, including the need to wait 72 hrs.
I wouldn't bother with the repair shop. The latest and greatest info is going to be on the internet and probably from rootjunky.

Well I'm trying to fix and issue I'm having with the camera flash, ever since the update it will only flash once and then will not work again with any app no matter what until I do a restart. It worked before the update and nothing happened to the phone so I wanted to see if going back might fix it before I have to get a refurbished one from Verizon.

Well first you need to unlock your bootloader: http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html
After that, download the P factory image from Google's site and follow instructions to install. Just remember to backup stuff you want (photos, files, anything saved on storage) because unlocking will perform a factory reset.

There might not be any refurbished phones to send you so you might luck out. Better to try now than later when they have a big stock of returned phones. Or I'm crazy and you'll get one either way...

I realized that after a little research.. that's my fault..
I just got this S9+ today and I cannot find OEM unlock under Developer Options. I read that the only way is to wait 7 days and then it will appear. Is that true?
Yes as long as it is a Exynos S9, Snapdragon will never appear
Sick of Qualcomms locked bootloaders. I had to deal with this on the S7, S8, and S9. Think I may be finished with the Galaxy.

Buy Exynos instead?
2 things:
1) there absolutely are unlockable Snapdragons. Only the US and Canada have perm locked ones. Don't believe the hype.
2) you might be able to skip ahead on the lock, but it doesn't always work and I think later firmware blocks it. It worked for me once but not the second time. It's a lot more likely to work if you don't have RMM status: Prenormal. Search xda to find out what that means if you don't know.
As for skipping the wait, there was an xda article about it this week or last week, should be easy to find. Also, if you have RMM status: normal (you see nothing about RMM in download mode) you can just flash the combination rom for your device and it's oem unlock it's always there. Doesn't work with Prenormal though
@partcyborg Unfortunately, mine says pre-normal so I am forced to wait the 7 days. I came back to Liverpool two days ago and I had over 60 hours of uptime by then, but as soon as I inserted my Three UK sim card, I got a notification and was basically forced to reboot my device. I tried everything I can to try and dismiss that pop-up but I couldn't. The uptime was reset and now I have 22 hours which is extremely frustrating. Do you think the reboot messed things up or could it actually be counting from the 60+ hours it already had?
There is a thread on the forums that says you can change the date or something like that to "trick" it into thinking you have had it the 7 days... I don't know for sure if it works because I have a US T-mobile version, just figured I'd share what I came across...

You were right. Someone on reddit also told me the same thing when I first purchased the phone and although the uptime was reset after I rebooted the device, OEM unlock showed up exactly 7 days later regardless so that was great!

@partcyborg, what about SIM card, is that required, or another myth?
Just got a SM-G9600 (TPA/Panama). I don't have any SIM in it, and waiting for 7 days to get out of prenormal. Had to take the August RH4, which must have included BL update as I couldn't odin back to July RF4.
Btw, the date bypass trick didn't work for me, either before the update or afterward. I'm curious how Samsung keeps track of the 7 days. If it's solely on the phone, then the date trick would have worked; they probably moved it to server side somehow (I watched my network traffic when doing the manual update, but should have done it earlier when enabling the dev options).

Just flash stock firmware. thats a pretty big mistake to make lol I'm pretty sure I made it quite clear in my guide to backup at least 2 or 3 times. But just flash stock firmware using the commands at the bottom of my guide. Even if the bootloader is locked the commands will work to reflash it still. The need links for stock firmware is also in the guide. And I will say this. If you took the newest update before rooting then you will have to wait for that firmware to be uploaded because its not uploaded yet.

The newest build is only a few days old so it will be nearly impossible to find online. And it has a different baseband and radio than the previous build. But the October update is OCP27.91-150
As long as the imei isn't zero you should be able to get service back. I had the same issue when I flashed an older firmware like a moron. But when I took the update again, I got service back. I don't recommend it because I may have just been lucky, but no matter what don't flash the gpt, asdspo(?) And bootloader with the older firmware. It'll mess your life up.
Ok i guess ill have to wait it out. Tried to flash stock and still unknown imei and no base band version so guessing it was updated. Thank guys!

Try taking the update again over WiFi if you can. You shouldn't have an issue as long as you're back to stock. But the update is only 3 days old so you may have a chance.

If you have the xt1922-9 then that means you have the att version if I'm not mistaken. If so just go to the links in my guide for stock firmware in the att folder.

If you have the xt1922-9 then that means you have the att version if I'm not mistaken. If so just go to the links in my guide for stock firmware in the att folder. It has both the firmware your on plus the updated firmware from September which is ocp27.91-62-3 plus my guide will help you achieve root. Just please read it all

I flashed bout those firmwares and still nothing i dont understand whats going on or if im messing something up somewhere in the process. It flashes an everything seems to be ok other than the Imei unknown which causes the phone not to read my sim card if im not mistaken. Thanks for taking the time to try and help.

The newest build is only a few days old so it will be nearly impossible to find online. And it has a different baseband and radio than the previous build. But the October update is OCP27.91-150.

Baseband is software. Radio is a piece of hardware. The piece of hardware that gets your carrier's signal. It can't be upgraded without physically altering the phone. Even then it would need to be the same exact radio because the stock drives probably wouldn't work, and the chances of a dev making a version for 1 person with a different hardware would be slim to none.

@ninjakira Would my modem.img backup be of any use here? Or anything else? I don't know what is stored where.

If you want him to have your Imei number, you could but thats not a good idea.

Try flashing stock firmware. If that doesn't work there are other options still.

You were flashing a gsi not a rom. Even then a rom and even less so a gsi, doesn't contain all the same data as what stock does.

As long as the imei isn't zero you should be able to get service back. I had the same issue when I flashed an older firmware like a moron. But when I took the update again, I got service back. I don't recommend it because I may have just been lucky, but no matter what don't flash the gpt, asdspo(?) And bootloader with the older firmware. It'll mess your life up.

Hello
I'm having an issue where the network icon in the statusbar is changing every few seconds. from completely empty bars to almost full. never all the way full. And this is with 4g.
I tried switching to 3g (same problem) and 2g and with 2g I get full signal but realy that's not an option, too slow internet etc..
Thankyou in advance.
Try the factory reset!
You will lose all data and settings.

I have read that if you install stock firmware through MiFlash (reinstall the firmware) the problem will be solved

I bought the phone last Saturday, at first I noticed that the signal on the 2nd Sim comes and goes, but after the update, for now, everything seems to be fine, I hope you get your issue sorted out

So it is not a phone problem but a software problem from android 9? And by after the update you mean by reinstalling that firmware?
