Vivo FRP Bypass 2026: Unlocking Funtouch OS 14 on Vivo Phones

Quick Summary: The 2026 Verdict

• Identify Your Chipset First: Vivo FRP removal methods depend entirely on whether your phone uses MediaTek (MTK) or Qualcomm (Snapdragon).
• MediaTek (Y-Series): A PC-based method using Brom Mode is the most reliable approach and typically completes within seconds.
• Qualcomm (V / T-Series): Requires a manual EasyShare method using Activity Manager on Android 14.
• Old Dialer Codes Are No Longer Valid: The *#813# method has been patched and does not work on Funtouch OS 14.

Before You Begin

Before proceeding, please confirm that the device is legally owned by you, such as a second-hand phone or a device where the original Google account is no longer accessible.

Factory Reset Protection (FRP) exists to protect user data. Choosing the correct and appropriate removal method depends on device ownership, chipset type, and Android version.

Facing a locked device when you need it most is stressful. For users staring at the “Verify your account” screen on a Vivo device running Android 13 FRP bypass or Android 14, finding a working solution often feels like a cycle of trial and error.

Consider the experience of Liam, a user with a locked Vivo Y21. He spent three hours attempting the “EasyShare” method he found online. He struggled to connect the phones, and when he finally tried the FRP bypass with TalkBack gestures, the menu layout had changed.

This guide outlines verified Vivo FRP removal strategies for 2026, helping you choose the correct path based on your device hardware.

Start Here: Vivo Chipset Check (MediaTek vs. Qualcomm)

The most effective method for unlocking a Vivo device is determined by its processor type (Chipset).

Feature	Method A: MediaTek (MTK)	Method B: Qualcomm (Snapdragon)
Primary Tool	Free PC Tool (Brom Mode)	EasyShare App (Manual)
Time Required	~10 Seconds	~15-20 Minutes
Best For	Y-Series (Y16, Y21, Y36)	V-Series (V29, V30), T-Series

The Decision:

• Scenario A (MediaTek): If you have a Vivo Y-series, stop trying manual tricks. Go directly to Method 1.
• Scenario B (Qualcomm): If you have a V-series running Android 14, hardware exploits are likely locked. You must proceed to Method 2.

Method 1: Vivo Y-Series FRP Bypass (MediaTek, PC Method)

For MediaTek-based Vivo devices like the Y20 and Y36, the fastest unlock method utilizes “Brom Mode”. While many users search for ways to bypass FRP without a PC, using a computer is significantly faster and more reliable for these specific models.

Step-by-Step Brom Mode FRP Bypass (Vivo MediaTek)

We recommend using TFT Unlocker or the open-source MTK Client.

(Note: If you prefer a professional-grade solution that handles drivers automatically, check our Chimera Tool Review, which is excellent for shop owners.)

Prerequisite: The Driver Setup

Before starting, ensure you have the “MediaTek Preloader Drivers” and “LibUSB” installed.

1. Launch the Tool: Open your software (e.g., TFT Unlocker) and select the “Vivo” tab.
2. Prepare the Device: Power off your Vivo phone completely.
3. Enter Brom Mode:
   • Hold Volume Up and Volume Down simultaneously.
   • Crucial Detail: The screen will remain black. This is normal.
4. Connect to PC: Connect the USB cable while holding the buttons.
5. Execute Unlock: Once detected, click “Erase FRP”.

Method 2: Vivo FRP Bypass Without a PC (Android 14, Qualcomm Devices)

Qualcomm-based devices running Funtouch OS 14 require a manual Android 14 FRP bypass strategy using the EasyShare app.

Critical Warning: You must use “Activity Manager” (Rocket Icon) instead of “Activity Launcher.” On Android 14, the standard launcher crashes.

Phase 1: Accessing the Setup Menu on Locked Vivo Phones

You cannot open EasyShare if you are stuck on the “Hello” screen. You must first enable the Accessibility Menu Shortcut.

1. Enable TalkBack: Hold Volume Up + Volume Down for 3 seconds.
2. Open TalkBack Settings: Draw an inverted “L” shape. Use the voice command: “Open Google Assistant.”
3. Navigate to Settings: Say “Open Settings.”
4. Enable the Shortcut: Go to Shortcuts & accessibility > Accessibility > Accessibility Menu and turn it ON.

Phase 2: EasyShare FRP Bypass Using Activity Manager (Vivo)

1. Access EasyShare: Tap the Accessibility Menu button > EasyShare.
2. Prepare a Donor Phone: On a separate Android phone, install “EasyShare” and Activity Manager(Rocket Icon).
3. Transfer the App: Use EasyShare Phone Clone to send “Activity Manager” to the locked Vivo.
4. Launch Engineering Mode:
   • Open “Activity Manager” on the locked device.
   • Search for: com.vivo.setupwizard.factorytest (or just “Factory Test”).
   • Open the activity -> Engineering Mode -> Back to Home -> Initialize to English.

Troubleshooting Vivo FRP Bypass Issues (EasyShare & Settings)

Fixing EasyShare Connection Issues

If EasyShare fails to connect, it’s often a version mismatch.

• Fix: Uninstall the latest version on the donor phone and sideload an older version (v6.0).

Why is “Reset All Settings” Grayed Out?

If you cannot reset settings, your security patch is too high (Late 2024). You must strictly follow the Activity Manager method above, which bypasses the need for a reset.

Vivo FRP Bypass FAQ (Android 14 & 2026 Updates)

Q: Does the *#813# code work for Vivo FRP in 2026?

A: No. This code was patched in Android 12. It will not work on Funtouch OS 14.

Q: Can I use this method on Android 15?

A: No. Android 15 introduces additional restrictions that break several Android 14 workflows.

Q: Why does Activity Launcher crash?

A: Vivo patched the standard “Activity Launcher” in Funtouch OS 14. You must use the alternative app called Activity Manager (look for the Rocket icon) to avoid the crash.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Vivo FRP Bypass Method in 2026

The era of simple dialer codes for Vivo FRP bypass has ended. The key to success in 2026 is diagnosis: know your chipset.

• MediaTek Vivo devices: A PC-based Brom Mode approach remains the most reliable option.
• Qualcomm Vivo devices: Manual EasyShare methods using Activity Manager are required on Android 14.

By following the specific procedure for your hardware, you can avoid the frustration of patched methods and restore your phone to full functionality.
