FRP Bypass Android (2026): Complete Guide for Android 5–15 (With & Without PC)

Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a built-in Android security feature designed to protect user data after a factory reset.
However, many legitimate users—especially those who bought a second-hand Android phone or forgot their original Google account—find themselves locked out.

This guide provides a verified, step-by-step overview of FRP bypass methods for Android, covering Android 5 through Android 15, with both no-PC and PC-based solutions.

⚠️ This guide is intended for educational and lawful use only, such as unlocking a device you legally own.

Quick Summary: Which FRP Bypass Method Should You Use?

Step 1: Identify Your ‘Security Era’ (Do Not Skip)

Android security is not one-size-fits-all. Before downloading any files, you must confirm your Android version.

How to Check Android Version on a Locked Phone:

1. Power Off the device completely.
2. Boot into Recovery Mode (Usually Volume Up + Power, or Volume Up + Home + Power for older Samsungs).
3. Read the Top Lines: Look for a string like 11/RP1A... or 8.0.0/KOT49H. The first number is your Android Version.

Once you have your number, choose your path below.

Phase 1: The Server Era (Android 13, 14 & 15)

Target Audience: Modern devices (2023-2025). High difficulty. Usually requires PC.

Modern Android security relies on server-side verification. Manual exploits (like using the keyboard settings) are frequently patched. The most effective methods now involve PC tools or specific diagnostic codes.

• Android 15 (Newest): If you are running the absolute latest beta or stable release, check our brand-new guide.

Phase 2: The Settings Era (Android 10 – 12)

Target Audience: Devices from 2020-2022. Medium difficulty.

In this era, Google patched direct APK installations. The game shifted to utilizing Accessibility features (TalkBack) to force a browser open.

• The “TalkBack” Skill: Almost all methods in this era require you to know the specific gestures to open Chrome.

Phase 3: The APK Era (Android 5 – 9)

Target Audience: Legacy devices, old tablets, second-hand phones. Low difficulty.

Security was local on these devices. You typically do not need a computer. The solution involves sideloading a “Google Account Manager” APK.

• The Direct Fix: If your device is older, use this simple APK method.

• No Computer? Legacy devices are the easiest to unlock without external hardware.

Phase 4: Brand-Specific Solutions

Different manufacturers utilize different proprietary software (Knox, MIUI, Hello UI), meaning a Samsung method will effectively do nothing on a Xiaomi device.

🟢 Samsung Galaxy (The Most Common)

Samsung devices have the widest range of unlock methods, from the famous *#0*# test mode to Odin flashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bypassing FRP legal?

Unlocking a device you legally own (e.g., a second-hand purchase where the seller forgot to remove their account) is generally considered acceptable for personal use. However, bypassing FRP on lost or stolen devices is illegal.

Why doesn’t the ‘No PC’ method work on my S24?

Modern security patches (Android 14+) have blocked the entry points used by APKs. For devices like the S24, you almost certainly need a PC tool. See our Samsung S24+ Guide for details.

What if I don’t know my Android version?

Try the “Recovery Mode” method listed at the top of this page. If that fails, try the Universal PC Methods as many tools can auto-detect your version.
