FRP lock bypass

Can you ever perform an FRP lock bypass? If yes, what are the tools you require to do so? Why would you need to do an FRP bypass tool?

More importantly, how to perform a Google lock bypass (FRP lock bypass)? Let’s find out!

The Functionality of Google Account Verification and FRP

Google Account verification is a security measure that is simple and effective. When you configure a new Android device, you should enter the Google account and verify your ownership. You should also click on a specific link sent to your email. All in all, the process is extremely simple.

When you configure an Android device using your Google account, the FRP feature gets activated automatically. As a result, your device will not be able to access by anyone even after a factory reset.

To access it, they should know the Google name and password used to set up the device. If someone steals your device, they cannot access the device and its data because of this security feature.

In a nutshell, FRP Lock is the abbreviation for Factory Reset Protection. This is a special security measure introduced by Android in order to prevent various fraudulent activities. This feature has been available in Android since its 5.1 version.

FRP lock allows only the original user of the device to access it and reset it. Although it is a really impressive security feature, some of us may need to perform an FRP lock bypass.


When Does FRP Become Useless?

FRP would be a very handy feature if someone has stolen your Android device. Whoever steals it will not be able to access the device’s features and data in it.

Nevertheless, what if you have sold the device to someone and the new owner doesn’t know the credentials? Or, what if you have bought a preowned device and you don’t know its credentials?

Also, what if you did a reset on the device and you have forgotten the credentials? Under such situations, FRP becomes a headache.

This is exactly why knowledge of performing a Google Lock bypass is handy for any Android user. But the process is not that simple regardless of the device.

Section 2. How to Perform FRP Bypass in Below Four Methods?

There are several ways to address this issue.

  • By disabling FRP;
  • By resetting the device (only for some devices);
  • Or by using a set of long steps (only for some devices);
  • By using a dedicated APK tool.

Method 01: Disable FRP and Perform a Google Lock Bypass

This can be the simplest method to avoid Google lock and gain access to an Android device. Please note that this method removes Google’s account from your device completely.

In addition to that, it removes apps like Gmail, Google Assistant, etc., from your device.

  • Tap on ‘Settings.’
  • Go to ‘Cloud and Accounts’ or ‘Accounts’ depending on the model of the device.
  • Tap on ‘Accounts.’
  • Tap on the respective Google account.
  • And tap on the option labeled ‘Remove Account.’
  • If prompted, agree to the verification to remove the account.

As a result of removing this account, you will not see the FRP lock. If you sell a preowned phone to someone else, be sure to do this. So, the buyer won’t need any access to your Google Account.

Method 02: Reset the Device to Do an FRP Bypass

If the previous option doesn’t work, you can try resetting the device to factory default. Then, while configuring the device, you will have to make some tweaks to the network connection settings.

  • First, you should perform a reset on the device. When you are on the ‘Google Account Verification’ page, reach the screen that shows ‘Wireless Network.’
  • Tap on the option ‘Add Network.’
  • Enter random characters in the field that says ‘Network Name’ or ‘SSID.’
  • Press and hold on to the text you have typed and get it highlighted. Then, tap on ‘Share’ on the popup menu.
  • Choose the option called ‘Gmail.’
  • Tap on ‘Notifications’ and then choose ‘App Settings.’
  • Choose the three-dotted icon located at the top-right corner and select Account.
  • Continue to settings. Then, if prompted for verification, select ‘Continue.’
  • When you are in ‘Settings,’ go-to ‘Backup & Reset’ and choose ‘Factory Data Reset.’
  • Now, you will see that the Google account is removed from the device with FRP.

Method 03: Use Setup Process to Perform a Google Lock Bypass

This method can be used to bypass the Google account during the setup process once the device is reset.

  • Just tap on the text box for the Wi-Fi password.
  • Once the keyboard appears, press the space bar and hold it for a while.
  • Now, choose ‘English (US) Google Keyboard’ from the popup menu.
  • Return to the Wi-Fi connection screen and enter the Wi-Fi password.
  • Resume the setup process and reach the screen that asks for your Google Account info.
  • Tap on that text box and enter either your phone number or email address.
  • Tap and hold the @ symbol on your keyboard.
  • Choose the option labeled ‘Google Keyboard Settings.’
