FRP, or factory reset prevention, is becoming a staple in most modern smartphones. In some cases, it can be an added layer of protection, but more often than not it’s a nuisance in cases where you need complete access to your device. Bypass FRP unlock successfully with these five tech tips.
Use a Reliable Bypass Software
There are a few tools that specialize in removing FRP and allow you to upgrade and downgrade, or change your Google ID or Apple ID as you please. Once you’ve decided, make sure you’re on the official website and that the install file itself is free from malware or viruses.
Sign Out From the Device First
Those who intend to do a complete reset should sign out from the device. This step is particularly important since you might meet a Google or Apple FRP authentication later on. While it’s true that you can bypass this as well, signing out will make the process easier.
Check for Software Updates
Sometimes all you need is an official update of your smartphone device. Go to System Settings, then Software and see if there’s one available. As a rule of thumb, you should always check and see if your smartphone is up to date before attempting a system repair at home.
Always Back Up Your Data First
Back up your precious work and personal files to your computer or a handy flash drive before attempting the FRP unlock. It only takes a few minutes depending on how many photos and videos you have.
Nice and Easy Does It
Last, but not least, proceed with the system repair slowly and carefully. Don’t rush through the process as you might make mistakes or skip a step. Remember these five tips and you’ll have a higher chance to succeed and use your phone again.
