How to bypass factory reset protection (Google Account lock) on spreadtrum devices like itel with 2016 security patch

Factory Reset protection is the new security google added to android lollipop. When you reset the device from recovery menu, FRP switch is tripped which will ask the user to input the Google account that was previously used on the device. Even though this was made for security reasons, we sometimes forget the account details that was on the device before reset so stuck on input Google account details.

Some weeks ago I shared a method on how to bypass Factory Reset Protection (FRP) on SPD devices. That method would work if the phone is not running on the 2016 security patch. The following method I'm sharing now will walk you through on how to bypass frp on devices with 2016 security patch.

The method is almost similar like the previous one I shared but just a change of app used. We will be using Quick Shortcut Maker apk this time around.

Note
This method can also work on some other devices

Make sure device have at least 30% battery life

Do this at your own risk

Follow the screenshots or read the tutorial below

Download Quick Shortcut  Maker app from here

Insert SIM card into phone and boot it up

Call the number inside the phone

Answer the call by swiping up to message icon

Select Write your own message from the pop up

It will now take you to messaging interface

Now tap the Call icon found near the number you used in calling

It will take you to dialer interface

Click on contacts icon (head near call button)

Now select any contact

Click on the menu icon (3 dots) at the top right and select Share

Select Xender from the list of apps that popup

Reboot the phone and set it up normally.

Note

If you are doing this for somebody, after the bypass, go and do a factory reset from settings menu (Backup and Reset option) so as to clear your account from the device.

Hope this helps............
