The Ultimate Motorola FRP Bypass Guide (2026): Hello UI, MyUX & PC Tools

Quick Summary (Key Takeaways):

• Stop the RSA Download: The official Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant repairs firmware but does not remove FRP locks. Do not waste time on it.
• Identify Your UI: Check your volume slider.
  • Thick/Vertical Bar: You have Hello UI (Android 14+). Use Method 1 below.
  • Thin/Horizontal Bar: You have MyUX (Android 13 or older). Use Method 2.
• Chipset Matters: For PC tools, MediaTek (Brom mode) is free/easy. Qualcomm (EDL) is complex—check your processor type first.

Introduction

If you have just spent two hours downloading the 4GB firmware for the Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA), only to flash your phone and find the Google Lock still staring back at you, you are not alone.

Many users assume the official manufacturer tool is the safest route. Unfortunately, RSA is designed strictly for software repair (fixing bugs or boot loops). It intentionally ignores the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock to comply with Google’s anti-theft protocols. Using it fixes the software but leaves you with a digital paperweight.

Stop worrying about the time you lost. We have verified the solutions in this guide on the latest hardware. Whether you need a sophisticated fix for a high-end 5G model or a basic unlock for a budget device, this guide provides the specific technical roadmap to resolve the issue.

Diagnostics: Do You Have MyUX or Hello UI?

This is the “fork in the road.” Motorola has two distinct interface styles, and the unlock method for one will fail on the other. You must identify this before starting.

The Volume Bar Test: Press the Volume Up or Down keys on the lock screen.

1. Hello UI (Android 14+):
   • Visual: The volume bar is a thick, vertical pill shape.
   • Devices: Moto Edge 50, Moto G Power 2024, Moto G Stylus 5G (2024).
   • Solution: Go to Method 1 below.
2. MyUX (Android 13 & Older):
   • Visual: The volume bar is a thin, horizontal slide-out panel.
   • Devices: Moto G Play (2023), Moto G Pure, Older G Power.
   • Solution: Go to Method 2.

Pro Tip: Attempting a MyUX method (like basic TalkBack) on a Hello UI device will fail because Motorola has blocked the browser entry points.

Method 1: Hello UI (Android 14/15) – The “Moto Widget” Exploit

Target Audience: Users with the new vertical volume slider.

Performing a standard Android 14 FRP bypass on Hello UI devices is tricky because Motorola has blocked standard browser links. You must exploit the “Battery Usage” settings via the Moto Widget.

The Workaround Procedure:

1. Access Emergency Info: From the welcome screen, tap “Emergency Call” > “Emergency Information” > Edit Pencil Icon.
2. The Ghost Icon: Tap the “Name” field, then click the owner icon (ghost image) to choose an image.
3. Launch the Exploits: This opens the recent files menu. Tap the hamburger menu (three lines).
4. The Moto Widget Trick: Long-press the “Moto Widget” icon (or “Drive”) and drag it to the center of the screen.
   • Visual Cue: You will see the interface glitch. Drop the icon to place the widget.
5. Battery Backdoor: Inside the widget’s App Info screen, navigate to Battery > Battery Usage. This screen is not blocked—tap it to enter the main Settings.
6. Disable Security Layers: Go to Settings > Apps. Force Stop “Android Setup” and Disable “Google Play Services”.
7. The Loop: Press back until you return to the Wi-Fi setup screen. Proceed until the phone hangs on “Checking for updates” (the loop). Quickly re-enable Play Services (or use the accessibility shortcut) to bypass the check.

Method 2: MyUX (Android 13 & Older) – The TalkBack Method

Target Audience: Users with the classic thin volume slider.

For older interfaces, the classic accessibility exploits still reign supreme. This involves using the FRP bypass with TalkBack method to trigger Google Assistant.

The General Procedure:

1. Enable TalkBack: Hold Volume Up + Down for 3 seconds.
2. The Gesture: Draw a reverse “L” shape (swipe right, then up) to open voice commands.
3. Voice Command: Say “Google Assistant,” then “Open YouTube.”
4. Browser Access: From YouTube, navigate to Terms of Service to open Chrome and download an FRP Bypass APK.

Method 3: PC-Based Tools (MediaTek vs. Qualcomm)

If manual exploits are too difficult, learning how to bypass FRP with a PC is your best alternative. However, success depends entirely on your phone’s chipset.

How to Check Your Chipset: Boot into Fastboot Mode (Volume Down + Power) and read the text logs.

Scenario A: MediaTek (MTK) Devices

• Common Models: Moto G Pure, Moto G Play (2023).
• Difficulty: Easy.
• The Fix: These devices support Brom Mode. You can use free open-source tools like MTK Client (GitHub). You simply install the MediaTek Preloader Drivers, hold the volume buttons, and the tool erases the FRP partition instantly.

Scenario B: Qualcomm (Snapdragon) Devices

• Common Models: Moto Edge+, Moto G Stylus 5G.
• Difficulty: Hard.
• The Fix: These require EDL Mode (Emergency Download, Port 9008). Getting a locked Motorola into EDL mode is tricky. Often, professional software like the Chimera Tool or a specific loader strategy is required.
• Recommendation: If you own a Moto G 5G with a Qualcomm chip, the standard methods often fail without specific loader files.

Why “Rescue and Smart Assistant” (RSA) Won’t Remove FRP

It is important to understand why you should stop trying to use the official tool for this purpose.

When you use RSA, it reinstalls the Android OS to the System Partition. However, the Google Lock data is stored in a separate, persistent partition (often called frp or persist).

• RSA Action: Wipes User Data + Reinstalls System.
• Result: The frp partition remains untouched.

Google designed it this way intentionally. You must use the methods above (Widget exploit or Chipset tools) that specifically target the FRP partition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant remove FRP? A: No. It only repairs firmware. It does not touch the secure FRP partition.

Q: My volume bar is thin, but TalkBack isn’t working. A: If the “Reverse L” gesture fails, your device might be on a transitional security patch. Try holding both volume buttons strictly for 3 seconds to toggle the shortcut, or try drawing a standard “L” shape instead.

Q: Can I downgrade my Motorola Android version? A: Generally, no. Motorola enables “Rollback Protection” in the bootloader. Attempting to flash Android 13 FRP bypass files onto an Android 14 device will usually hard-brick the phone.

Q: Is there a free tool for Motorola MediaTek phones? A: Yes. MTK Client is a free, open-source tool that works great for MediaTek Motorolas. You just need to ensure you have the correct “MediaTek VCOM Drivers” installed.

Conclusion

Successfully removing the Factory Reset Protection on a Motorola device comes down to accurate diagnostics, not luck.

• Got a thick volume bar? Use the Hello UI (Method 1) above.
• Got a thin volume bar? Use the MyUX (Method 2) above.
• Stuck with a Qualcomm chip? Try the PC method with EDL mode.

By matching the solution to your specific interface and chipset, you can regain control of your device in minutes rather than wasting hours on the official Rescue Assistant. Choose your method above and unlock your device today.
