  • After attempting to install an app, Aurora /Obtainium reports: “Some errors have occurred.”

What can i do? Help is very appreciated. :slight_smile:

This may happen if you have triggered a “FRP” (Factory Reset Protection) on your device, which happens if you flash a custom rom without first removing your Google account from the previous install.

Can you see if you are able to go to Developer Options and enable “Allow OEM Unlocking”? That is the easiest way to confirm, as if FPR is triggered you would not be able to toggle that.

Hello, thank you for your reply. However, there is no FRP problem:

There was no Google account on the phone when I bought it second-hand. I didn’t create a Google account and was able to install apps.

My attempt to lock the bootloader on the phone again resulted in it becoming bricked.

With the help of the Motorola software, I was able to reinstall it (and now - except in Aurora - I have not set up a Google account).

So far, everything is running smoothly - if only I could use Aurora to use my paid apps…

The developer options are active, but “Allow OEM Unlocking” is missing. I believe (okay, I don’t know) that this isn’t a problem, because the Iode installer requires “OEM unlocking” to work - and it works perfectly despite the missing entry.
