Bypassing Google’s FRP Check on Xiaomi Redmi 9 after resetting settings

Resetting settings on Xiaomi Redmi 9 often becomes a headache when, after a reboot, the device requires you to enter data from a previously linked Google account.This protection, known as Factory Reset Protection (FRP), is designed to prevent data theft, but can block access even to the rightful owner. If you forget your password, bought a used phone with a tied account or encountered a sync error, this article will help regain control of the device.

We’ll look at 5 proven FRP bypass methods on Redmi 9 (including Redmi 9A/9C/9T models), from simple PC-free workarounds to advanced ADB and custom tools. Importantly, all of these are relevant for MIUI 12–14 and Android 10–12 firmware. If your device is running on a newer version, some steps may need to be adapted.

Why Google is blocked after a reset

FRP (Factory Reset Protection) was introduced by Google in Android 5.1 Lollipop as a security measure.

• 🔒 Activates automatically when you add a Google account to your device.
• 🔄 It works after a complete reset (Wipe) Data/Factory Reset) through the recovery or settings menu.
• 📱 Requires the login/password of the last account associated with the account, even if SIM-card or memory card replaced.
• 🚫 Blocks access to the system until successful authentication.

On Xiaomi Redmi 9 FRP can manifest itself in different ways:

• 📱 Screen requesting input email/Google password.
• ⚙️ Hanging in the adjustment stage after language selection.
• ❌ The message reads, "This device has been reset. To continue, log in to an account that was previously synced with this device".

⚠️ Warning: If the phone was stolen, bypass FRP This may be considered illegal, and make sure you are the legal owner of the device or have permission to unlock it.

The methods of bypassing depend on the version of MIUI and Android. For example, on old firmware (MIUI 11) you could use a vulnerability in the TalkBack settings, but in new versions this method is closed. Below we will look at the current solutions for Redmi 9 for 2026.

Method 1: Bypassing FRP through emergency call settings (without PC)

This method works on MIUI 12-13 and does not require a connection to a computer, but rather exploits a vulnerability in the emergency dialing interface.

2. Step 2. Enter the combination ##4636## (test menu will open).
3. Step 3: Return to the dial screen and type ##83781## (Developer Mode Activation Notice should appear).
4. Step 4: Reboot your device. Once you turn on the lock screen, you will see the Add Account button — use it to create a new Google profile.

If the combinations don’t work, try an alternative path:

• 📞 In the emergency call menu, dial any number (e.g. 112) and click on the Contacts icon.
• 🔍 In the contact search bar, enter settings - you can access the settings.
• ⚙️ If you can get into the settings → Accounts, add a new Google account.

⚠️ Attention: MIUI 14 and later, this method may not work due to patched vulnerabilities.
