Many Android-powered handsets from Samsung have the feature which should, at least in theory, make it impossible for someone to factory reset a misplaced or stolen device and either continue using it or sell it off after completely wiping it clean. Less than a year ago we came across a video which demonstrated . A new video has now been posted online by the same person again demonstration how easily it still is to bypass Factory Reset Protection and that too on recent Samsung flagships like the , it’s said that this method would even work on the as well.
Now there is a scenario where you would want to bypass FRP for purely legitimate reasons. For example, you want to sell your phone but can’t disable FRP because you no longer remember the credentials of the account you used to set it up with. You can’t wipe the handset clean and sell it off unless FRP is taken care of and in such a scenario this bypass method will be nothing short of a lifesaver. However, someone could just as easily use this method to sell stolen handsets after wiping them, so it really depends on the person how they use this method. The video details everything there is to know in order to bypass Factory Reset Protection on some of the greatest handsets Samsung has ever made. You would have thought that after last year’s episode the company would have made some changes to shore up the FRP’s defenses but clearly that’s not the case.
