i think it would be a good idea to add that if you are on a custom recovery, doing a reset via settings>privacy>factory data reset (the only way to remove the first google acct added to the device) will result in a brick.

with a custom recovery, you should only reset/wipe the phone via the recovery.

but that if you have a stock recovery, settings>privacy>factory data reset will not brick the device.
