12 effective ways to remove Google account from mobile devices

How to sign out of Google account without performing a factory reset

The fact is that when trying to delete their Google or Gmail account from settings, many users receive the following message:

“This account is required for some applications to work. You can only delete it if you perform a factory reset (which will delete all your personal data).”

Naturally, such a warning raises many questions for some people. Those users who have never dealt with the Android OS before are especially worried.

To reset your Google account without restoring factory settings, you can use two methods.

Method 1.

• Open Settings.
• Go to the Accounts section.
• Select Your Google Account > Menu.
• Select “Remove account”.

If this method doesn't work, try the second one:

Method 2.

• Open Root Explorer or a similar system file manager.
• Open the data/system folder and delete the “accounts.bd” file.
• If you cannot find the file with the db extension, open the data/ system/ sync folders and delete the “accounts.xml” file.

Important: You need to open folders from your phone from the root directory of Android (internal memory of the device). If you open the data folder in the root directory of a microSD card that is being used as external storage, you will not find the system folder in it.

Removing an account from a phone using the Root right

If you have received this right on your gadget, there are more methods for deleting registration. In this case, it is enough to erase the accounts.db file, where the device stores account information. To do this, we need a file manager such as Root Explorer, which has access to protected information. You can purchase it in the Play Market for 175 rubles (at the time of writing).

Launch Root Explorer. We enter the folder /data/system. Open the accounts.db file by long pressing on it. In the new window, click on the “Delete” button.

It is worth paying attention: - some smartphones and tablets are very “sticky” to a person’s account. Interestingly, in this case they will also require authorization, even after you have reflashed the gadget. This is a difficult case. Hence, my advice to you. Write down your login and password in several places at once. For example, in a simple notebook. In the cloud of the same Google, or Yandex. On a removable storage device on your phone or PC. You can store passwords in the Password Manager. I recommend using the free LastPass service. It has been around for quite some time and has never been hacked.

How to log out of Google account after a hard reboot

The methods described above are not perfect. Firstly, they are not applicable to all phones, and secondly, it is not safe to give your own, even a former smartphone, into the wrong hands if some data remains on it. It is safer to erase all unnecessary information and return the device to its original state. However, not all so simple.

Recently, all Android smartphones have been using a new security option called FRP - Factory Reset Protection. Basically, only experienced users who often update the firmware of their phones know about it, and, of course, specialists from service centers, where they bring devices that are blocked after a hard reboot.

FRP does not make life difficult for the average user. This option is needed in order to protect important data (passwords, banking information, photos, etc.). Any attempt by an attacker in whose hands the phone is to gain access to data, and this may involve flashing the firmware to reset locking passwords and using specialized software, will require you to enter your login and password for your Google account.

But what if the phone needs to be returned to its “just out of the box” state, but FRP protection does not allow this?

How to log into Huawei account?

You can log into your Huawei account using your login and code. The main thing is to enter the combinations correctly. When you log in for the first time, click on the “Remember” button. It will help you avoid entering data every time you turn it on. To protect yourself from information theft, install double verification. Each time you activate, you will receive a special code to enter on your mobile number.

Easy Method to Reset Google Account

So, a factory reset has been done, and in order to be able to use the phone again, Google account verification is required. Registration data is either not accepted by the system or forgotten by the user.

Detailed instructions:

We connect the phone to the Wi-Fi network powered by the router (this is important!). Enter the password to log into the network.

• Check the “Advanced” box in the network settings.
• In the "Proxy Server" menu o.
• Scroll down the options menu and enter any set of letters (Latin) in the “Proxy server host name” field.
• In the “Proxy server port” field, enter 8080. Click “Connect”. And then in a new window “Next”.
• The process of connecting to the network begins, but since incorrect data was entered manually, the connection does not occur. The message “No Internet connection” appears on the screen. Click "OK".
• We automatically go to the previous “Network Connection” window. It should display a message written in red letters “No Internet access. Check your router or contact your service provider." This message may not appear the first time, so the connection process will have to be repeated.
• Click on the red message. The Help window opens. Click the “More details” button.
• We accept the terms of the agreement and select the country/region.
• Scroll to the right on the information screens (Advice, Service, Me) until the HiCare screen opens.
• Click “Start”. We give permission to access geodata. We accept the terms of use of Huawei Push.
• Click on the text field (“enter a keyword…”). Enter any set of letters, for example, 6 Latin letters “A” and click on “Search” (the button with a magnifying glass on the keyboard).
• In the next window, under the line “No results” in the “Offers” options, select “Email.” mail".
• Click on the Gmail icon and hold your finger on it until the “About” screen opens.
• In this window, select “Notifications” > “Other Settings”. In the “Settings” window that opens, click on the three vertical dots at the top right.
• Select "Account Management". In the "What to use?" window Click the “Only now” button.
• The “Accounts” window opens, scroll down the menu. Find the “System” section.
• Click “Reset” > “Reset all settings” and click on the button with blue font “Reset all settings”. This inscription turns red.

IMPORTANT! Click on the red “Reset all settings” sign and after exactly six seconds press and hold the phone’s power button.

• A screen appears with the options "Reboot" and "Shutdown".
• Select "Reboot".
• Click “Reboot” again. The phone reboots. This process may take some time, please be patient. After a successful reboot, the device is unlocked and can be used. The Google account has been unlinked.

This method works for different Huawei and Honor models - Honor 9 lite, Honor 7X, Huawei Y6 Prime 2021, Huawei P20 Lite, Huawei Mate 10 lite and other phones with EMUI 8.0, 8.2 firmware

How to delete a deleted Google account - when the first method did not help

Sometimes it happens that when you delete your email, an error will appear in Google. That is, when you delete an account on your phone, the process does not go completely, and the gadget freezes until you turn off the phone. At the same time, the Google account remains in place.

What can be done in this case? Let's consider. This case is suitable if you decide to change your account to another one on your phone.

You need to start the mailbox by touching it with your finger (envelope image).

Select the mailbox settings (3 lines) at the top left. Then, tap on the “Add account” button.

Then you need to select “Google”.

Next, we proceed from the fact that you have another Google account? If yes, then click on the “Existing” button. If you had the only account, in this case click “New”.

In the first case, everything is clear, so let’s consider the option when you have the same credentials and need to create new ones.

You need to re-enter your Gmail mailbox settings. In the settings you will see two accounts, old and new. In this case, most likely, the old account will be the main one. New, secondary. So, tap on the new mail icon.

Then, click on the “Manage Accounts” gear. In the account settings, delete the old authorization. There shouldn't be any difficulties in this matter. The newly created account becomes the only one. But all information about the previous account should remain.

Of course, on different versions of the smartphone and operating system, these steps may differ slightly. The meaning of this operation is similar in different Android firmwares.

Mikhail Plusko's blog on repairing phones, tablets, laptops.

Hello friends, today we will look at a new way to bypass Google blocking on all modern Huawei devices with the March 2021 security patch.

1) Download the Go Launcher Z, copy it to a memory card, and insert this memory card into the phone.

2) Using the Talkback function, we get to the youtube application.

3) In the youtube application, under any video, click the three dots, and select “Share”, then share via Notepad

4) In the Notepad application, attach any photo, you can use a standard one from the gallery, and save the note with a checkmark. 4) Select share this note, the “as file” or “as picture” window appears

5) Select “as a picture”, and then share it via Google maps.

6) In google maps, first click on the button for determining coordinates, wait a minute, and then plot a route anywhere, personally, I chose the nearest city, and BE SURE TO START MOVEMENT ALONG THE ROUTE.

7) A voice assistant (microphone icon) appears at the top left, click on it and say “open Google” (in my case, the language became English, and I said “open Google”

Google Nau opens, enter Files in the search bar and select the appropriate file manager application from the list and launch it. From under the file manager, install the program from Go Launcher z that was previously downloaded onto the memory card

9) Next, from under the launcher, go to the phone settings and do a general reset.

10) The phone will reboot and will be absolutely clean out of the box.

Why delete

Google account is removed from Android in order to:

• get rid of an outdated account;
• synchronize the work of Google services with another profile;
• unlinking a smartphone from a specific entry, thereby disabling FRP protection - important when selling a device.

Some people use this feature to sign out of all the search giant's apps at once.

Huawei P20Pro security patch from October 2021 needed to reset the password-protected screen lock or use a Google account. I didn't know either one. The patches didn't help me. Wrote Not installed. Someone in the comments above wrote about the Settings settings in the GOOGLE line. I entered the word Settings instead of File and tried to enter the menu, but it literally opened for a split second. Using another phone, in slow motion mode, I looked at what level the security and passwords item was located and at random I got to the desired menu item. Then I turned on fingerprint unlocking and Face Id where I entered a new password. After that, I returned to the language selection menu and proceeded further where it no longer asked for a password, but asked me to enter any Google account or create a new one. Further and further, when asked for a password, it had already been set by me and I knew it.

Good day. That’s why this bypass of Google account doesn’t help on my Honor 7c. Everything goes according to the script, so to speak, until the moment when we enter the voice command. Your phone goes to video from YouTube, but for some reason it doesn’t go there for me, but goes back to the Help tab. Where something is described step by step in English. step 1, step 2 and step 3. I don’t understand what is written there, of course, and I can’t remove the blocking. I don’t really want to poke somewhere at random, you might as well kill the new phone.

Hello, I have a Huawei ane-lx1 phone, after resetting the settings via TalkBack, there are no popular ones in the Help column, it says No results found, how can I get to you tube in another way?

Mikhail, I have several problems (Huawei Y3 2017) after unsuccessful attempts... 1) I reset to a version where English is the default and there is no choice of other languages ​​2) after a restart or switch off/on, the “Suspend TalkBack” sign constantly pops up. 3) I can’t swipe on the touchscreen, double-click to select. 4) YouTube was found in several other places, since it wasn’t in your instructions, it worked to be minimized, and of course, swiping to the left was not possible. 5) there is no notepad under the ball, I tried everything that was available, nothing like creating a picture from a video worked, in any case, it didn’t come to the ball in Google Maps. Somehow I managed to call Chrome, launch Google from there, but in Chrome but not Google is new, maybe there is no difference, but there was no access to “files” or “files” that in the first attempt I was not connected to WiFi, the second time I forgot insert the SD card with your file. and then everything went wrong
