I acquired this tablet for relatively cheap in auction from a remarketer, and feel like I know why now. None of the methods I can find seem to work to removing the FRP on it.
I did manage to cause it to crash a couple times, once corrupting the data letting me factory reset it again in recovery through the method described in this XDA post, however it was still locked at this point. I did write down the build info when this happened. 8.0.0/OPR1.170623.027/4292972
I did manage to successfully perform the trick described in that post and pull down notification bar, but when I go to more settings, all it gives me is this

I've also managed to try the TalkBack video method, with the video in Morse Code, as there is no video in the "Get Started with Voice Access". This would probably work in the past, except that currently Youtube needs an update on this device, and when I try it brings me back to the FRP Login.
Youtube Update-FRP Login
At this point I'm at a loss of what to do. It's a challenge. Is there any hardware bypass that exists, such as shorting some pins on a firmware chip? Any Software I can run on my computer to aid in this task? Nothing I could find for this device, but maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Perhaps a method to trick Youtube into running without the update?
following
I don't know if there is nor do I personally own a Pixel C but I do have experience with getting FRP gone on more than one device I've owned in the past. These methods you see are extremely sensitive and even a few seconds time pause or anything except exactly how whoever is doing them is, can end up unsuccessful. Also many of the methods get patched with updates... Just be careful because there are many fake advertisments out there about this that say pay $____ and we will do it ..And they don't. All I can say is search search search and try it all and if you already have done that do it again. I had a Motorola phone some years ago and I bricked it. Hard brick... I messed around with the blankflash file trying to get it to work for weeks!!! I must have attempted to get it to work 500 times at least!!! I kept trying and one day it worked. Don't give up and when you follow those methods to remove FRP on YouTube make sure you are following EXACTLY how they are doing it.
Here's a method I just came across: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixel-c-8-1-1-frp-bypass.3879498/

I purchased 3 FTVs for my home net purely to run xbmc and dont have a lot of interest in amazon prime or the stock FTV setup.
2 of the 3 boxes were fine, blocked updates on my net, rooted, disabled updates, XBMC on, everything worked great. Still need to do some tweaking but all good.
1 of the 3 boxes already knew of the update, and is trying to get it, but is of course blocked. As I have never booted it, I have no way to know what FW its on now.

I have tried waiting of course.. Tried pulling the network cable after it finds the DHCP and before 'checking for updates' (actually doesnt say that it seems to already 'know').
Is there a way of resetting the knowledge of the update ??
What is my best course of action with the greatest probability of securing root ??
Is there a way of stopping an update if I let my router connect to the update links ?? As I have never done that I dont know how the process goes ??
Or is there a way of on the first boot, when it updates, enabling ADP and rooting and disabling before the next boot (I read this works but perhaps not in this situation, eg from a normal boot not a first boot).
Lastly, I am not in the US, I dont know if it will even allow me to get the updates outside of there and I cant VPN via my router.. Which would lead to a useless if not bricked FTV stuck in a loop of an update it cant get.
Sorry for the Qs.. I did search but theres a lot of variables and one mistake could lose root on this box, where possibly the right combination or sequence can preserve it.

Just did this.. With a reset of user data and cache.. really thought it would it would work..
Booted.. had to discover the remote.. then.. Exactly the same.. Update detected (blocked with openDNS) and in the same loop ??
Can I block update system by ADP ?? Given the recovery option of update by ADP, is that any use here ??
Hey guys, got the following problem:
Important things first: I am from germany and I know that my english isn't the best, but I'll do everything I can for explaining everything, so you can understand me.
So, the problem is complex; please read everything^^.
I am proud user of my HTC One M8, and after months of "normal" using, I tried out several things like custom roms, storage encryption and such things.
The last custom ROM I was using is ViperONE.
On my One M8 there is S-ON, USB-debugging is deactivated, the H-BOOT version is 3.16.0.0000. (

, please excuse the quality).
There is a problem with the recovery partition/version --> when I want to boot into recovery, it opens H-BOOT.
Now, what happened:
I often tried to reset the smartphone: install a new rom, etc.
And with every try I became sad, because it failed.
It could not open the required recovery-mode. God knows why.
As initially mentioned I encrypted the storage, and on the decryption screen was written, that the smartphone will hard-reset after 30 times of incorrect password input.
I thought, it would be a good idea, to try that out.
But first, it seemed like the best thing to disable usb-debugging. I think, I been totally brain-afk.
So, I did this (disable usb-debugging, restart mobile phone, 30 times incorrect password input), and watching as the phone get doomed.
The phone starts into H-BOOT, thats it.
But... no, one more thing, my decryption password got changed.
I can do nothing for several months.
Funfact: After some search in blogs, asking google, etc. I found out that my only mistake it was, to turm usb-debugging off. If I haven't did that, there where no other problems.
Any ideas, what to do?
Do you know, what the decryption-password is now? I thought it could be null, so the password-variable is empty. But on this point, I have not idea, what I should do.
Please only write constructive posts, nothing like "customer service". If there is no chance, on saving the smartphone, it's ok, but please write, why you think, that there is no way.
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely, Dardassa
The screen on my Nexus 7 was damaged a few months ago, and it was left unused until I finally got it repaired and returned to me yesterday.
Unfortunately I have so many different devices, I have forgotten the PIN code. I was aware I was unsure of the code while it was in for repair, but I was relying on the fact that I thought I could use the Android forgotten password option to reset via Gmail.
Unfortunately it seems this option does not exist, despite inputting many incorrect PINs and getting the 30 seconds delay. I have read this must be because the version must be Lollipop or above.
I also tried Android Device Manager, which can communicate with the device as it is online, and I set a lock code 1234, which the Nexus 7 mentions when I turn on the screen, but it does not accept it. Apparently if the device already has a PIN lock set up, that overrides the Android Device Manager lock PIN.
I know I can factory reset, but I would hate to lose the pictures - and yes this is another reason why I should have configured something where my files are backed up to drive etc. automatically. Is there anything I can do?

If the bootloader is unlocked then follow these steps to backup your data.

It is not unlocked, but perhaps I am able to unlock it without the PIN?
I read online about the Nexus Root Toolkit, and that I could perhaps ADB pull with that? Here is a screenshot of the options from the website:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Okay, so the PIN just came to me, huge relief. I am going to set up Google Photos to automatically backup my photos in case this ever happens again, or the tablet is lost, and double check that I have Prey installed.
Is there anything I else I should do that may perhaps allow me reset the PIN in the future?

Never heard of any such issue. Try flashing kdz.
After installing software using LGUP, the phone keeps resetting itself
It works!!! For those in need: I turned on LGUP and selected the "ChipErase" option

But now you have wiped your IMEI and serial number. In all my guides I warn people not to use that option.
Right. I haven't checked it out. There is no IMEI or SN now. Can it be restored somehow?
Such things are not allowed to be discussed here on XDA, as far as I have heard. You'll have to find another site to see if there's a way to do that.
In the future, don't go running around without knowing what you're doing, because you will break things, as you have just now done. Most people should never use Chip Erase, as detailed on many threads here.
Success with adding IMEI. Now there is still SN

Yeah this sounds a lot worse than playing with Windows Regedit.
Cloned hdd copies are a beautiful thing...
Hello XDA,
Hoping someone here can help me. Not sure if it was relevant, but something must be but I was installing an APP on my P20 that helps to verify you to access Canada Gov't websites. Yada yada and now my phone has a password on it. At some point I was given Google Codes, but those do not unlock my phone now. I tried updating the phone from wifi and safe mode however it still comes up with the password screen below. The SIM card is now in my new phone (S20 - done with Huawei) and the old phone is in Airplane mode. When I drag up from the bottom you can see that menu at the bottom that mentions "Enable Magazine unlock" but doesn't do anything except calculator and flashlight.
Yes I can access recovery menu and the option to Factory Reset is certainly there and I know how to use it. The thing is I have over 3000 photos (most of them of our Cats) on there and I cannot and will not lose them. Been hacking this thing for a few days now and even though the P20 does not have an SD CARD slot, I was able to insert a USB stick in the USB-C slot with a bunch of useful hack .APKs but I cannot seem to be able to use them. In the EMUI menu I can select Update from USB but it just hangs at 5%.
I don't mind any kind of solution but it has to keep my data. Would installing Cyanogenmod delete my data? Anyone encountered this before? Also - obviously my phone has not been rooted and trying to connect to the PC via USB does recognize the phone, but Visual Studio, the Huawei software and ADB and everything else does not recognize it enough to communicate with it, perhaps because of the password.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
DJ Lem

Have you try to make a backup onto your pc or does it not see the device? I know there’s Back up Option under recovery mode at more than one place but not so sure if it would include all of your data.
The only way to disable a password on a huawei is thro factory-reset along with the password setup proses.
You said something about google codes. Can’t it by chance be from your find my phone, that the device is secured from find my phone platform
