A factory reset is supposed to fix problems, not create new ones. But for many Android users, resetting the phone leads to an unexpected screen asking to 'Verify your account'. Suddenly, the phone is unusable.
This happens because of Factory Reset Protection (FRP) — a built-in Android security feature. After a reset, the phone asks for the previously synced Google account to confirm ownership.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to remove FRP lock after factory reset, what works across Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, and when professional FRP removal becomes the safest option.
FRP activates when:
A Google account was logged in before reset
The reset was done without removing the account
A reset was performed via recovery mode
Android assumes the phone might be stolen and blocks access.

Before attempting FRP removal, always try:
Google account recovery
Password reset
Waiting 24–72 hours after password change
If successful, simply log in, and the phone unlocks.
If not, FRP remains active — and you’ll need a different approach.
FRP behaves differently across Android brands. Here’s what users need to know.
Samsung phones have stronger FRP security, especially on newer Android versions.
Common issues:
Google verification loop
Emergency call methods blocked
Old bypass tools no longer work
Samsung users often need brand-specific FRP removal.

Huawei devices may:
Require original Huawei ID + Google ID
Restrict access after reset
Lock users out permanently without verification
Professional FRP removal is usually the safest solution.
Xiaomi phones often involve:
Mi Account + Google account lock
Extra verification screens
Region-specific restrictions
DIY methods are unreliable here.
Oppo, Vivo, Realme, and OnePlus:
Use Google FRP with custom UI layers
Block most public bypass tricks
Relock phones after updates
In these cases, professional FRP removal avoids software damage.
Most online methods:
Are outdated
Don’t support Android 12+
Break Google services
Cause relocking
This is why searches like 'remove FRP' increasingly lead users to professional services rather than DIY guides.
You should consider professional help if:
You don’t remember the Google account
The phone was bought second-hand
Multiple bypass attempts failed
The device is valuable or needed urgently

FRP lock after factory reset is frustrating — but rushing into unsafe solutions often makes things worse. Each Android brand handles FRP differently, and modern security blocks most DIY tricks.
If official recovery fails, professional FRP removal is the safest way to get your phone working again without long-term issues.
No. A factory reset activates FRP if a Google account was logged in before the reset.
Go to Settings → Accounts → Google and remove every account before resetting.
You cannot undo a reset. You must complete the setup or remove FRP to use the phone.
Only by logging in with the original Google account or using professional FRP removal.
If the device is managed by an organisation, only the admin can remove management and FRP.
