Re: Unusable Android J5(6)

Anssi,

Anyway, as far as the reset goes, a brief search shows Google's
find my device could work but might get complicated too.

I cannot use any method which depends on the my friends knowledge.  As you
mentioned it, its an old phone which he had gathering dust in a drawer, only
to be remembered when I spoke of wanting to try one.

Recovery mode seems like the more likely option since you have
physical access.

Recovery of what please ?  And how would I do that (see the above) ?  Also,
how would that make the phone forget my friend, accepting me as its new
owner ?
