The ultimate guide for beginners on how to bypass a Google account on a Samsung Galaxy after a factory reset using multiple methods & FRP bypass tools.
As of 2024, Android security has continued to evolve significantly, making the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) feature even more robust than in previous years. FRP is a critical security measure designed to protect your device and personal data from unauthorized access. This guide will explore the FRP lock, its functionality, and current methods to bypass it should you need to regain access to your Samsung Galaxy device.
What is FRP Lock?
Factory Reset Protection is a security feature that was released with Android Lollipop but has improved a lot since then, as it is now not easy to bypass using the old methods you see in the video tutorials on YouTube, but not impossible!
So how does FRP work? Let’s suppose your Samsung Smartphone is lost or stolen. Now someone will probably try to access your device, and all they have is the option to hard reset it using the Android recovery. It will reset, but will ask for a Google account that was previously synced with the device. So in this way, your personal data is at least saved from unauthorized access.
That was one scenario, so what if it was your personal device and you forgot your Google account? Well, Google still provides you some recovery options, in case you at least remember your Google account email, the phone number, or recovery email. If you remember any of the mentioned details, you’ve got 80% of the time to FRP unlock your phone.
- Lost/Stolen Device: If your device is lost or stolen, the FRP lock helps protect your data by requiring your Google account credentials after a factory reset.
- Forgotten Google Account: If it’s your device but you’ve forgotten your Google account details, Google provides various recovery options if you remember your email, phone number, or recovery email linked to the account.
In case you don’t remember any Google account credentials, you need to follow the methods given below.

2. SIM PIN Lock Method
You need to insert a SIM that is locked with a PIN code, so as soon as you insert it to your phone, it will ask for a PIN code, as you can see in the video tutorial below:
Using this trick you can open the Android notification center and it will lead you open an internet browser, from which you can then download the FRP bypass apk to bypass Google account.
3. Using a Secure Folder to Access the Browser
This method exploits the Secure Folder feature available on Samsung devices. By inserting a SIM card and initiating Secure Folder setup, you can sometimes access a browser from which you can download the necessary tools to bypass FRP.
4. Smart Switch Mobile for Partial Access
Samsung’s Smart Switch app can sometimes be used to restore device settings in a way that grants partial access to device settings, where you can remove the Google account.
4. HUSHSMS FRP APK
Hushsms is another app that can help you remove the Google account but to use this app, you need to have access to another working phone. When you install this app on your working device, you need to insert the sim into your locked phone so that it can send a YouTube link as a message. When you open the link, it will open the YouTube app on your locked device.
Here is the video demonstration for the method:
5. Downgrade Your Phone Firmware Version
This should be your last option, I don’t recommend downgrading the Android version for beginners. Also, you should know it may not work for the latest models like the Note20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, and so on.
So what is downgrading? Let’s say your phone is currently running Android 10, and the bypass method has already been patched, so what you can do is downgrade it to Android 9 if the firmware is available for download.
To flash the older version, you’ll need a Samsung flash tool called Odin or Odin 3. I would suggest reading the detailed guide by Progeeksblog on how to do it safely.
How do you prevent your phone from getting FRP locked?
Just in case, you want to avoid being locked out of your phone in the future, here are some of my tips.
- Remember your new Google account! Write it down in a notepad or diary.
- Before a hard reset, remove the Google account from your phone settings.
- Do not hard reset your phone using the Android recovery, instead, factory reset from the phone Settings app.
That’s it. If you follow the above steps, you shouldn’t get into trouble in the future. If you’ve got any questions, feel free to use the live chat support or leave a comment down below.
