while installing iodeOS on my old Sony Xperia 1 V, I forgot to remove my Google account before the installation. Now, I’m getting a “SecurityException: Can’t install packages while in secure FRP” error within iodeOS if i try to install apps. What can I do?
Is the safest bet to use the Sony Companion app to reinstall the stock ROM, log into my Google account, remove the account, and then attempt to install iodeOS again?
I have degoogled my life, and my main daily driver phone runs Ubuntu Touch. I thought, why not degoogle my old Sony Android phone so I could use it as a secondary camera phone?
I hadn’t used my Sony phone in a year after I got a Ubuntu Touch phone. Since I don’t use Google anymore, I didn’t think of the fact that I needed to remove my Google account.
Yes, reinstalling stock then logging in (to remove FRP), then logout, then install iodéOS will work well. Before doing that you could try to login under microG with your Google account, but I don’t think that would clear it (maybe worth a try though to confirm)?
I have done this, and now I am back on the stock ROM.
Before I installed IodeOS, my device was originally on Android 16. After the companion app reset it to the stock OS, I am now on Android 15.
When I try to use the IodeOS installer, I get stuck on “Preparing device.” I entered the unlock key, but it boots to a black screen with a blue dot and nothing happens.
