Development android systems, one of Google's main goals. Among the many new features, we want to talk about new program protection, which appeared on all Android phones with version 5.1 and higher. Thanks to it, for example, if the phone is lost or stolen, the owner of the device has the opportunity to block it. Thus, no one will be able to boot the phone without knowing the login and password for your account in . It will also work when resetting the phone settings (hard reset).
This feature is called Google Factory Reset Protection, abbreviated as FRP lock.
A similar security scheme has long been implemented by Apple in its products and has proven itself quite well. Here's what happens if you do (for example, when deleting graphic key or phone firmware). When starting for the first time and checking access to wi-fi networks, the phone will ask confirm account. A similar message will appear.
Of course, if you remember the necessary data (they are entered when purchasing the phone), login and password, there will be no problems. But how can you bypass Google account verification if you have forgotten all your personal data and there is no way to restore them via email, and the firmware does not help?
There are several ways to choose which one is right for you, I can’t say, since each phone manufacturer (Samsung, Micromax and others) produces models with their own individual features - different function keys and software filling.
- Reset system settings and remove DRM license without cable.
To do this, we need to get into the phone settings by bypassing the standard boot through the help system. Watch in the video step by step instructions using the example of a Lenovo phone.
- Soft reset via app.
Here the procedure is more complicated. To do this, we need an OTG cable with a program downloaded to a flash card, or simply reset the application (StartSettings.apk) on Micro SD and insert it into the device. More details in the video using the example of a ZTE phone.
- Other non-standard methods.
Due to the huge number of models, there is no single correct solution to this problem. For example, in this video, the author turned off the modem with Internet access during the test and was able to bypass the confirmation on the LG G4 phone.
Maximum full list all non-standard methods are presented.
I hope that with the help of our material you were able to unlink your phone from your Google account. If you have any questions, write them in the comments
Many of you leave your own options for bypassing the protection. We want to share one of them. This method was used on Huawei tablet MediaPad T3 7.
1- Charge the tablet 100%
2- Turn on, select the language, region and connect to Wi Fi, accepting the terms of use.
3- On next page « Google Services» Click on the blue inscription “Google Privacy Policy” and in the window that appears, click and hold on any of the words so that an additional menu appears in which there is “Web Search”. Click on it and select Opera (namely opera, because in Chrome it may not be possible to open downloaded files).
4- Download Test+DPC. I had version 4 (as an option, use other programs quickshortcutmaker and Google Account Manager). I don’t know who downloads it, but I went to my Yahoo mail, where in my inbox I sent myself from another mail required file. Install and launch. Select the second item “set up device owner”, encrypt the device. Although in many videos I have seen they choose the first one. I haven't tried it personally. A reboot is in progress. Several times further, and then the DPC window pops up asking you to set up a profile. We accept the agreement. Customizable. Then some kind of sign will pop up endlessly (I don’t remember which one, I don’t have a tablet at hand anymore). Reboot.
5- By clicking next it should start (if the DPC menu pops up asking you to create a profile in English, select the lower value “skip”.
6- That's it, the tablet is running in normal mode. Let's go to settings and do it full reset. After turning on, we are happy with the unlocked device
They also ask in comments and private messages on Google. We have a separate article about this. Here we are discussing something a little different, namely possible ways bypass confirmation.
Let's supplement the material with another video from a visitor. This method will be useful to all owners of Xiaomi phones, regardless of the model.
To protect your account, Google sometimes asks you to verify your identity. For example, this happens if you are signed out of your device or try to:
- log in to your account from a new device;
- view saved passwords;
- change account recovery information;
- download your data.
Note. Most often, confirmation is asked if you are using a new device or logging in from an unknown location.
Add a phone number
The most convenient way to confirm your identity is using a mobile phone. Can be used:
To sign in to your account, follow the steps below. Keep your phone close to you. If possible, it should be connected to the Internet.
- At the Identity Verification window, follow the onscreen instructions or select an option Additional verification methods. All or some of these methods will be available:
- Receive a notification on your phone.
- Receive a confirmation code via SMS.
- Listen to the verification code over the phone.
- Get security code on an Android device.
- Use the screen lock or fingerprint feature on your Android device.
- Follow the instructions.
Why are you seeing this request
This extra step helps protect your account in case someone tries to log in as you. If attackers find out your username and password (for example, through phishing), they will still not be able to use your account for their own purposes.
Troubleshooting
I don't have my phone at hand
If for some reason you cannot use your phone or your account does not contain a phone number to restore access, try other methods of verifying your identity.
I didn't receive a notification on my phone
If several minutes have passed and you have not received the notification, follow these steps:
If you still don't receive the notification, click Another way and try other options.
If you are unable to verify your identity using the methods listed above, try logging in:
- on the device (computer, phone or tablet) from which you log into your account most often;
- while you are in the location where you usually sign in to your account (for example, at home or at work);
- in the browser you use most often, such as Chrome or Safari.
Note. You can try again in a few days.
You did not receive a request for identity verification
To protect your account from hackers, Google may block certain activities when:
- There are no associated devices in your account;
- You sign in to your account in a different way than usual, such as from a new location or device.
If you don't receive an ID verification prompt, try again in a few days from the device you usually use to sign in to your account.
Google is developing, this is especially noticeable in big cities. Very few organizations have not yet appeared among his countless marks. However, a significant part of them is not confirmed, and there are several reasons for this:
- First, business owners simply don't know what do they have There is page in Google Business, and therefore are not aware of the possibility of its confirmation.
- Secondly, many entrepreneurs underestimate page in Google Business as a tool for promoting yourself on the Internet. There is already an article on this topic:
- Thirdly, many are stopped by the need to wait letters from Google to confirm the page.
We all know firsthand how Russian Post works: a letter can arrive in a week, a month, or not at all.
All these factors stop entrepreneurs, and if you are reading this article, then most likely you have already decided verify rights to a business account on Google+. How to do it? Let's look at all the possible ways.
I have already briefly mentioned this method; I will just say a few more words. In my experience, on average 1 email out of 10 is lost, and the typical delivery time for correspondence is 2-3 weeks. There are cases when letters arrived literally within 3-4 days, but my experience and the experience of my friends says that you should not rely on this.
Method 2: Website
Your organization's Google account can be verified if your website is connected to the system Google Webmaster, and the email specified in Webmaster matches the email associated with the organization's account.
However, Google Help says that such account verification may or may not happen. However, it is not clearly stated which categories of business fall under the “simplified” procedure and which do not.
There is one more negative point: Google Webmaster is usually in demand, first of all, by the site developer - the web studio that produced it - to track the indexing of the site by search engines, monitor errors, and so on. Linking Google Business and Google Webmaster to the same thing mail account- an inconvenient idea and fraught with bad consequences.
My experience shows that confirmation of a business account using this method occurs in about 1 case out of 4.
Google Certificate Method 3: Contact a Google Certified Representative
The easiest and fastest way to verify your organization's business account within one or two days. The only exceptions are organizations providing services of an intimate nature, such as erotic massage. In this case, confirmation may be delayed and take up to 2 weeks.
All you need to do is find out the email of a Google Certified Representative and provide administrative access to your business page (how to do this). Be sure to require a link to your mobile phone! You should receive a confirmation code from Google, which a company representative will enter to confirm the information is correct. Also, to confirm information about the company, you will need a screenshot of the official website with contact information or a photo of a corporate business card. After providing this data, confirmation of company data will take 1-2 days. Also, a certified representative will help you avoid mistakes when creating a business page and avoid problems when confirming your data. Be sure to ask the representative to show you his work done for Google.
What is the price?
- Listing your information on Google Business is free for life.
Why does Instagram ask you to verify your account?
After entering your username and password for your Instagram account, we log into your profile from an IP address that is different from the one you usually use. An IP address or proxy is an Internet address from which the bot will like, subscribe or unsubscribe.
Triggered automatic system Instagram security, which just checks whether you really perform these actions: there is nothing wrong with that.
How do I verify my account?
- on the Do Insta website in the appropriate window:
After you add your account, choose the method that would be most convenient for you to verify your account: using your phone number or Email. That number or email address will be used. emails that you previously linked to your Instagram account: make sure you have access to them. The code that will come in an SMS message or letter will need to be entered in the next window and click on the “Verify account” button.
- via the Instagram application or website:
You can also simply go to the application or the Instagram website and do the same steps as described above.
After this, be sure to log into your account through the Instagram application or website, make sure that everything is in order with the login. If you do not log in, but simply return to our service, then when you try to add an account to Do Insta, Instagram will again ask for account confirmation: it will be a vicious circle.
After resetting your smartphone using Hard Reset, the next time you turn on the phone, you will be required to enter your Google account credentials. This is exactly how the situation was described to me by a user who brought me a phone with a request to confirm an account that was previously synchronized with a smartphone.
In general, this is something similar to Apply ID, which has long been used in devices manufactured by Apple. Since many have complained that Android data are not protected at all, and you can hack any password on your phone with a regular hard reset, Google decided to improve several aspects of this protection.
As a result, starting from the series Android firmware 5.1.1, hard binding to your Google account has begun. That is, even after resetting the settings, you will not be able to fully use your smartphone until you enter the credentials of the account that was linked to it when you first turned on the device.
Of course, the user who contacted me had no idea about such protection and calmly reset the settings without any second thoughts. Of course the data account no one remembers, since it was created in a hurry just to have access to the Play Market.
So, after another such smartphone, I decided to share my experience and show how I managed to bypass the protection with Google account confirmation after resetting the settings (Hard Reset).
Resetting your smartphone to its factory state through phone settings
Very often a simple reset directly from standard menu settings. This is explained by the fact that the settings are reset directly from the phone and the security system recognizes this as if the user did it himself, and accordingly does not request Google account verification (FRP).
Of course, the most difficult thing we have to do is get into that very settings menu, but we’ll still try to do it. I tested this method on Android 6.0 and 6.0.1.
Bypass Google account verification (FRP) after reset using QuickShortcutMaker
If you have not become the happy owner of a device that was helped by the first method, then most likely you will have to turn to third party applications, which will help us remove the Google account linking.
One such application would be QuickShortcutMaker. By the way, I would say that this method helps 80% of cases that are associated with FRP. So I recommend using it first.
You can see a visual implementation of points 10 to 17 in this video, starting at 5:30 minutes:
Important information for those who have " Google Accounts“There will be no option to enter your login and password. In order for it to appear, you will have to additionally, in addition to QuickShortcutMaker, install the Google Account Manager patch. After this, the desired item should be displayed without problems in the list of Google accounts.
Third option to bypass Google FRP using Test DPC
The third option is also to install and use additional programs, this time it's " Test DPC" If the previous method did not help you, then you should definitely try this option.
A clear example of execution this method, look at the video:
It was precisely these images that I personally managed to bypass the protection with Google confirmation account after resetting the settings on Android. If none of the described methods work for you, don’t worry, it happens.
There are many different options for bypassing this protection, you just need to find it on our website or on some forum. Where users could share the option that is right for you.
There is also a theory that by turning off the phone and putting it on a shelf for about 72 hours, the binding disappeared on its own and the smartphone turned on the next time as if it had just been taken out of the box.
