Quick question. I bought a phone and it’s locked. Factory reset but requires the previous owners google to unlock. It’s an insurance sale. I have asked the seller to update me on any info but haven’t had a reply.

Is the phone a very expensive brick ?.

    Ask the person you bought it from to help you unlock it. If they can’t, you bought a stolen phone, in which case you should try to get a refund.

    Some activation locks can be hacked around, but I’ve never found a guide or website about it that didn’t look like it was about to infect my computer with a million viruses.
