Help!! My galaxy s6 would no longer recognize my pin.

I was told by seller to do a factory reset. But now it wants to verify google account. Only problem is the only account it will recognize is my work account which is governed by Okta. This mean it wants me to run Okta verify to get a number. Well how am I supposed to do that if I can't get past the google verification screen. I need a way to bypass this. Anybody really know how? I've googled my heart out and only find how to reset - not what I need. :mad:

Fastboot doesn't recognize my Asus zenfone2 on my ubuntu14.04

On the normal boot mode, my Asus zenfone2(ZE551ML) running android 5.0 is listed when I type adb devices. Then, I put the phone to the fastboot mode by adb boot bootloader. When the phone is already entering the fastboot mode, fastboot devices returns no result. But, lsusb listed the device's details including vendorid, productid, and device name.

I have tried to modified the 51-android.rule, run fastboot as root, change owner of the /dev/bus/usb/, re-install and update the android-tools. But my ubuntu still can not detect the zenfone2 on fastboot mode.

Moreover, I connect my other phone(Redmi2) which also on fastboot mode and it can be detected seamlessly. Also,when I tried to connect the zenfone2 to other ubuntu PC, it can be detected.

Has anyone ever encountered and solved the similar problem? Or perhaps have an idea what is the potential cause?

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

System won't recognize SDCard

Hello guys! I'm having some problems with my Z2! The system and Stock Sony apps won't recognize my SDCard, but I can access it through Root Explorer and ZArchiver.

The part of my Permission.xml file regarding external storage is as follows

<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>
<group gid="media_rw"/>
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORA GE">
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>
<group gid="sdcard_all"/>
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE">
<group gid="media_rw"/>
</permission>

Is there something wrong?
