Cybersecurity is very important nowadays, especially considering how many big companies have fallen victim to hackers in recent years. Much like how iPhone uses iCloud accounts for added protection, Android devices use something called Google verification (FRP Lock). For some people, FRP can lock them out of their iPhone and today we’ll be showing you how to bypass Google verification (Factory Reset Protection Lock) without using computer or OTG.
Part 1. What is FRP Lock and How Does it Work?
FRP lock – sometimes referred to as Google FRP or Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock – is an Android security feature. It is designed to prevent unauthorized users from factory resetting an Android device in order to gain full access without the owner’s permission.
When your phone is locked by FRP, you will see one of the following messages:
- This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.
- The device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you.
This is an incredibly useful feature for one reason – if you lose your Android smartphone, or it is stolen, there’s still hope. Malicious individuals won’t be able to wipe the device with ease and you will have more time to locate it before your personal data is gone.
However, setting aside these benefits, there are a few downsides:
Downsides
- First, if you have forgotten the email address and password that you used to set up your Android device, you won’t be able to regain access.
- Secondly, in this scenario, getting back into your device is next to impossible. There are only a few effective solutions to bypass FRP lock.
Don’t worry though. If you encounter this problem and need to bypass this security measure, then keep reading. We’ve broken down the best ways to bypass it to make this as stress-free as possible.
Part 2. How to Bypass Google Verification (FRP) without Computer or OTG?
Now, if you’ve been researching some of the ways to get around FRP, you likely came across some solutions to bypass FRP without computer. Generally speaking, processes like this require computer access to remove such important security features. However, here are two methods that don’t require a computer.

- It’s too complex as there are so many steps need to perform.
Part 3. How to Bypass Google Verification (FRP) with Computer
3.1 Bypass FRP Lock Using Tenorshare 4uKey for Android
If using your computer to bypass Google’s FRP verification interests you then Tenorshare 4uKey or Android is the desirable solution. Following are the main features while using this tool:
Pros
- Removes Google FRP Lock from most Android devices
- Doesn’t require a Google account password to successfully remove FRP
- Permanently removes FRP lock and all restrictions it imposes
- Capable of removing Android lock screens too
So, now you know about Tenorshare 4uKey for Android and what you can expect from using it, let’s take a look at how you can use it to bypass FRP.
Step 1. Download and launch either the trial or full version of Tenorshare 4uKey for Android. Use a USB cable to connect your Android device to your computer.
Step 2. 2 unlocking solutions will be displayed on 4uKey. Select “Remove Google Lock (FRP)” for this method and then click “Start” to begin.
Step 3. Next, use the drop-down menus to select your device’s brand and device name, then click “Next”.
Step 4. You must now put the device into Recovery Mode. If you click on either “Phone with Home button” or “Phone without Home button”, steps for you to follow will be displayed.
Step 5. Click “Next” after you are in Recovery Mode, and more device information will be requested. Enter the correct information and proceed by clicking “Next”.
Step 6. Following this, you’ll be instructed on how to put your device into Download Mode. Again, steps for devices with or without a Home button will be shown.
Step 7. 4uKey will download the firmware and at some point it’ll prompt you to enter Recovery Mode one more time.
Once your device is in Recovery Mode, Tenorshare 4uKey for Android will wipe and reinstall the Android firmware. Set it up like a new device and the FPR lock won’t be bothering you anymore!
Cons
- Not all Android devices are supported (check if your device is supported)
- You have to buy the full version for access to every feature
3.2 Bypass Google Verification Using ADB Bypass
An alternate bypass method is with ADB. This is a PC tool that establishes a connection between Android and PC and as such, it’s a favourable tool for bypassing FRP. Here are the features you need to know:
Pros
- Supports the majority of Android smartphones
- Entirely free!
You might be thinking “This sounds great, but what’s the catch?”. Believe it or not there isn’t a catch, and here’s all that you have to do.
Step 1. On your computer, download the ADB & Fastboot and install them accordingly.
Step 2. Run the program to complete the setup and install the required drivers for FRP bypass.
Step 3. Now on your Android device, make sure that you have USB debugging mode turned on and connect the device to your computer.
Step 4. Type each of these commands into the ADB command prompt:
For Samsung Phones:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
Others:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
Step 6. Restart your device once each of these commands have been processed and upon loading up, the smartphone shouldn’t have an FRP lock anymore.
Admittedly it’s going to take a little longer for this process since it’s more complex. However, it’s widely compatible with Android devices and has proven effective.
Cons
- Very difficult to use for most people
- It’s not certain if ADB bypasses FRP on all Android versions and devices
- Even entering a single character in the commands wrongly will prevent it from working
Bonus: How to Enable or Disable FRP (Factory Reset Protection)?
Most users choose to enable FRP when they first set up their Android device but if you decided to skip this step, here’s how you can enable it now.
Step 1. Unlock your device and launch the “Settings” application.
Step 2. Locate the “System” tab and select “Security” from the menu.
Step 3. Next, tap on “Add account” and sign in to your Samsung account (or Google account) if you aren’t already signed in.
Step 4. Enable the “Remove Controllers” slider at the top of your screen.
Step 5. Finally, go back to the “Security” menu and below “Find My Mobile” simply enable “Reactivation Lock”.
On the other hand, disable the Factory Reset Protection Lock is just as simple as the above method.
To Conclude
There you have it, 4 solutions for bypassing FRP. We recommend that you use the removal service or the Tenorshare 4uKey for Android especially considering how overcomplicated the others are. However, All of them are viable ways to learn how to bypass Google verification, regaining control of your Android device, and enjoying full functionality.

Hi there
I have several Samsung’s cell phones that all were google locked by my son, he didn’t know all accounts needed to be removed before doing a hard reset. Unfortunately I hadn’t used those models in a couple of years, I’ve tried many times to try and recover them but I have a different phone number and another email address. I’m looking to sell these phones & I’m not to much of a tech. Would the support method, be the best way to ensure success.
Best Regards,
Robert Saunders
PS could you send me the link to have this fine gentleman help me get these phones bypassed
Hi Robert,
The unlockboot service can help you with this only after you make a purchase.
This is worth trying because they successfully unlocked our devices and you can also find lots of positive reviews about them.
