How to bypass Google’s FRP Checkup on Xiaomi after resetting: The Complete 2026 Guide

Factory resets on Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO smartphones often result in Factory Reset Protection (FRP) activation, a Google mechanism that requires you to enter the last synchronized account. If you forget your password or bought the device with your hands, this lock can be a serious problem. Unlike older versions of Android, modern MIUI 14/15 firmware based on Android 13/14 has made it difficult to bypass FRP, but it is still possible.

In this article, we will discuss 5 current ways to bypass FRP for Xiaomi devices 2022-2026 release, including models with Snapdragon and Mediatek chips. Importantly, the methods differ depending on the firmware version and model – what works on the Redmi Note 12 may not work on the POCO X5 Pro. We will also explain how to avoid re-locking and what to do if standard methods do not help.

Why Google is blocked after a reset

FRP (Factory Reset Protection) was introduced by Google in Android 5.1 Lollipop as a measure against device theft. When resetting, the system requires you to confirm the rights to the device through the account that was tied before the reset. On Xiaomi, this lock works 100% of the time if:

• 🔹 The device worked under a Google account (even if you deleted it before resetting it)
• 🔹 Mi Account (Double Lock on Some Models) has been activated)
• 🔹 Reset made through Settings → Additionally. → Reset or Recovery
• 🔹 The device was updated by air (OTA) after last discharge

With the new MIUI 14+ firmware, Google has tightened the requirements: it’s no longer enough to just enter a login/password – the system can request an SMS confirmation or backup email, which makes it difficult to bypass, but does not make it impossible.

⚠️ Warning: If the device was stolen, bypass FRP It can be considered a violation of the law, and we describe methods only for legal use, for example, when buying a used phone without the previous owner's data.

Method 1: Bypass FRP via Wi-Fi settings (for MIUI 12–14)

This method works on most Xiaomi devices with Android 10–13 and does not require a PC. The point is to exploit a vulnerability in the Wi-Fi connection interface to access settings.

Step-by-step:

1. On the FRP lock screen, select a Wi-Fi connection.
2. Click on the password entry bar, then highlight any text and click "Search" (magnifying glass) in the menu that appears.
3. In the search bar, enter Settings and select the Settings app.
4. Go to About Phone → The MIUI version and tap it 7 times to activate the developer mode.
5. Return to Settings → Additional → For developers and enable USB Debugging.
6. Connect your phone to your PC and use ADB to remove FRP (the command below).

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/


adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1

If the device doesn't unlock after you've run the commands, restart it. This method works on the Redmi Note 10/11, POCO X3 Pro and other models with a Snapdragon 7xx/8xx chip.

💡

If ADB doesn’t recognize the device, install Xiaomi USB Driver drivers and try again.

Method 2: Using Mi Account to Unblock

If you have a Mi Account attached to your device, you can try unlocking it through Xiaomi’s official service, which is legal and doesn’t require any security bypass.

How it works:

• 📱 On screen. FRP Select "Forgot your password?" (if you have such an option).
• 🔗 Go to account.xiaomi.com on another device.
• 🔑 Enter the tethered email/phone and request a password reset.
• 📲 After resetting the password, return to the locked device and enter new data.

If the previous owner did not delete the Mi Account before selling, this method will work in 90% of cases, however, new MIUI 15 firmware may require additional confirmation via SMS.

⚠️ Note: If the device was purchased by hand and the seller did not provide the data from the Mi Account, contact him.

Method 3: Fastboot bypass (for advanced users)

If the software methods don’t work, you can try removing FRP via Fastboot, which requires an unlocked bootloader and doesn’t work on all models.

What you need:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed ADB & Fastboot
• 🔌 Cable USB (preferably original)
• 📱 Unlocked bootloader (if not - see spoiler below)

Instructions:

1. Turn off the phone and press Volume Down + Power to log into the Fastboot.
2. Connect the device to the PC and check the connection with the command: fastboot devices
3. Run the command to remove FRP: fastboot erase frp
4. Reboot the device: fastboot reboot

This method works on Xiaomi with Qualcomm chips (e.g. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/2). On devices with Mediatek (e.g. Helio G96), another command may be required:

fastboot erase config

Method 4: Use of third-party tools (at your own risk)

If the official methods did not work, you can use specialized utilities to bypass FRP.

• 🛠️ Mi FRP Tool – works with most models Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO on MIUI 12–14.
• 🖥️ FRP Hijacker – supports Android 11-13 devices ADB.
• 🔓 D&G Unlock Tool – a paid tool with a high success rate (about 85%).

How to use:

1. Download the tool from the official website (for example, XDA Developers).
2. Connect the locked device to your PC in Fastboot or EDL mode (for Mediatek).
3. Follow the instructions of the program (usually just press Remove FRP).

⚠️ Note: Using informal tools can lead to data loss, blocking IMEI Before using, back up (if possible) and make sure the tool supports your model.

Method 5: Contact Xiaomi Service Center

If all methods fail, the official way is to contact the service center. Xiaomi can unlock the device if you have:

• 📄 Check or warranty card (proof of purchase).
• 🆔 Passports of the owner (if the device is guaranteed).
• 📧 Access to the email linked to Mi Account (to confirm rights).

The cost of the service varies from 500 to 2000 rubles depending on the model, in some cases, the service center may offer to reflash the device, which will lead to complete loss of data.

Important: If the device was purchased with no documents, the chances of official unlocking are minimal, in which case the only way out is to bypass the FRP on your own or through third-party services.

How to Avoid FRP Re-Blocking

After successfully bypassing FRP, it is important to properly configure the device to avoid re-locking.

• 🔐 Don't link your Google account immediately after resetting. First, set up the basic settings.
• 📱 Delete the Mi Account if it was linked by the previous owner: Settings → Accounts. → Mi Account → Delete.
• 🔄 Turn off automatic updates MIUI, to avoid sudden blocking after the update: Settings → The phone. → Updating the system → ⚙️ → Auto-update → Off.
• 🔒 Create a backup of settings through Settings → Additionally. → Backup.

If you plan to sell the device, be sure to delete all accounts and reset through Settings → Reset, not Recovery.This minimizes the risk of locking for the new owner.

💡

Even after a successful FRP bypass, the device may lock again on the next reset if all associated accounts are not deleted.
