Can I use a Samsung or Xiaomi phone as the Clone Phone sender?

It is not recommended. Non-BBK devices often cause launcher crashes. Use OPPO, Realme, or OnePlus.

Will bypassing FRP erase my data?

Yes. The process ends with a factory reset that wipes all data.

OPPO FRP Bypass Master Guide (2026): Unlock Any Model (Android 11-15)

Q: Does the *#813# secret code still work in 2026?

It works only on Android 11 or older (ColorOS 11). On Android 12–14+, the vulnerability is patched.

Q: Why is the Reset Phone button grayed out?

On Android 14/15, OPPO blocks reset during setup. Set a system fingerprint, then return to the start screen to proceed.

Q: Do I need a PC to bypass FRP on OPPO?

In most Android 12–15 cases, no. However, older MediaTek devices or boot-loop scenarios may require a PC tool.

Quick Summary (Start Here):

Android 14/15 (Latest): Engineer codes are dead. You must use the Clone Phone method.
Android 12/13: You need accessibility exploits like TalkBack.
Android 11 & Older: The legendary *#813# code likely still works.
Old MediaTek Models (A12/A15): PC tools are faster than manual methods.

Introduction

If you are holding a locked OPPO phone, you might be confused by the conflicting advice online. One video tells you to dial a secret code, another tells you to draw an “L” on the screen, and a third tells you to take the phone apart.

Why is it so messy? Because OPPO changes its security architecture with every major ColorOS update. A method that works on an OPPO A15 will fail instantly on a Reno 10.

This Page is your roadmap. We have organized every working bypass method by Android version and chipset. Instead of guessing, use the diagnostic trick below to find your exact Android version, then click the guide that matches your device.

⚡ Pro Tip: How to Check Your Android Version (While Locked)

Before you start trying random methods, let’s find out exactly what is running on your phone.

On the very first “Select Language” screen, tap Emergency Call.
Dial the diagnostic code: *#899# or *#800#.
A menu called “EngineerMode” should appear. Tap Software Version.
Look at the line Android Version.
- Android 14/15: Go to Part 3 (The hardest method).
- Android 12/13: Go to Part 2 (The gesture method).
- Android 11: Go to Part 1 (The easiest method).

Part 1: The “Engineer Code” Era (Android 11 & Older)

Target Devices: Older models like OPPO A5s, A12, F9, Reno 2.

If you have an older device that hasn’t been updated since 2021, you are in luck. This is the “Golden Era” of FRP bypassing. You do not need Wi-Fi, a PC, or any apps.

The Magic Code:

Go to the very first “Select Language” screen.
Tap Emergency Call.
Dial *#813# or *#812#.
Result: If the phone ignores the code, you are on a newer patch (move to Part 2). If it jumps straight to the Home Screen, you are done.

Detailed Guide:
Is the code not working, or do you need to downgrade your firmware to make it work?

Part 2: The “TalkBack” Era (Android 12 & 13)

Target Devices: OPPO A54, A74, Reno 5/6 running ColorOS 12/13.

When ColorOS 12 arrived, OPPO patched the engineer codes. The community shifted to using “Accessibility Shortcuts” to trick the Google Assistant into opening a browser.

The Strategy:

You use the Volume Keys to enable TalkBack.
You draw a specific gesture to open Google Assistant.
You say “Open YouTube” to reach Chrome.
From there, you perform a reset via the Settings menu.

Detailed Guide:
This method requires precise timing with gestures. If you are stuck on Android 12 or 13:

Part 3: The Modern Era (Android 14 & 15) – NEW

Target Devices: OPPO A78 5G, A58, Reno 8/10/11 running ColorOS 14.

This is where most users get stuck in 2026. On these versions, the “Reset Phone” button inside Settings is grayed out, and TalkBack is often blocked.

The Fix: Clone Phone Injection

You cannot reset the phone directly. Instead, you must use OPPO’s official “Clone Phone” app to transfer a specific launcher app from a second phone.

Key Change: You must use another OPPO/Realme/OnePlus phone as the “Sender.”
The Trick: If the reset button is grayed out, you must set a System Fingerprint and then back out to the start screen.

Detailed Guide:
This is the most complex method but the only one working for new devices.

Part 4: Specific Model & PC Solutions

Sometimes, checking your Android version is impossible because the phone is locked. In these cases, it is smarter to choose a method based on your phone’s hardware (Chipset).

Scenario A: Old MediaTek Models (OPPO A15 / A15s)

Some older budget phones have specific vulnerabilities that make them very easy to unlock using a PC, avoiding all the manual work.

Specific Guide:
If you own an OPPO A15 or similar MediaTek device, don’t waste time with Clone Phone.

Frequently Asked Questions About OPPO FRP

Q: Does the *#813# secret code still work in 2026?

A: It depends entirely on your software version. If your OPPO is running Android 11 or older (ColorOS 11), yes, it works instantly. However, on Android 12, 13, and 14, this vulnerability has been patched by OPPO. Dialing it will do nothing. For newer phones, you must use the [Clone Phone Method].

Q: Why is the “Reset Phone” button grayed out in Settings?

A: This is a security feature introduced in late 2024 security patches (Android 14/15). OPPO now prevents users from resetting the phone while in the “temporary” setup state.

The Solution: Do not try to force it. Instead, go to Password & Security, set a new System Fingerprint, and then back out to the start screen to unlock the device using that fingerprint.

Q: Can I use a Samsung or Xiaomi phone as the “Sender” device?

A: We strongly advise against it. When using the “Clone Phone” method, transferring the Activity Launcher app from a non-OPPO phone (like Samsung) often causes the app to crash immediately upon opening. For a smooth unlock, use another device from the BBK family (OPPO, Realme, or OnePlus).

Q: Do I need a PC to bypass FRP on OPPO?

A: For 90% of cases (Android 12-15), No. You can do it entirely on the phone using TalkBack or Clone Phone. However, for certain older MediaTek models (like the OPPO A15) or if you are stuck in a boot loop, using a PC FRP Tool like UnlockTool or DroidKit is often faster and cleaner.

Q: Will bypassing the lock erase my data?

A: Yes. The FRP bypass process usually concludes with a full factory reset to permanently remove the previous Google account association. All photos, contacts, and messages on the device will be wiped.
