Google Bypass Explained

As Android OS is updated by Google after some interval, it always comes with some new and interesting developments for users. Among several, one of the highlighted developments was the Google verification process during the factory reset of the device that was added to the Android version of Lollipop.

 

This is just a step forward in keeping your device safe. The problem occurs when the device is running on the Lollipop version and you want to reset your device.

 

That’s when the problem begins and users are faced with one of the most common error messages “This device has been reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced to this device. ”

 

If you also experience the same problem, this error message may prevent you from accessing your device.

 

So, let’s find out how to fix the “This device has been reset” error on Android by reading this blog even more. But before that, I also want you to show what users have reported about their own experience with the same problem.

Hello,

I bought a new Nexus 6 with my Google account and it was doing great. A friend of mine wanted to try it out for a few days, so we did a physical reset and my friend used Gmail to set it up. After he returned it to me, I restarted again to make sure my friends’ data was gone.

Now, when I start the device, it asks for the language, the wifi connection and asks me to login with a Google account previously synchronized with the device. My friend and I try to use our accounts, but the phone keeps coming back to the wifi screen. I’m stuck in this cycle we wait 3 days while I read on the internet it is a security feature in Android 5.1, but it still hasn’t solved the problem.

Please advice what can I do?

thanks

 

What is “This device has been reset.

To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced to this device ”

Google’s verification is known as factory reset protection (FRP) on Android is added by Google’s Android operating system (Lollipop 5.0). This must be enabled, and after that, whenever you attempt to factory reset your device, you will need to confirm it.

In order to better understand the situation, imagine that your device is lost and is now in someone’s hand. You have set a password or PIN to lock the device, but that person does a factory reset of the device and it is accessible again.

To overcome this situation, Google created this new feature in which users cannot reset factory settings until they verify the account. This feature is added after Android 5.0 OS. This is where FRP comes to users, and now accessing other devices is not an easy task, as whenever you try to reset the phone to its original configuration, you will receive a message saying “This device has been reset to continue accessing your Google account that was previously synchronized on this device ”.

After that, the entire device becomes useless. Several users have reported this problem, especially those who have purchased a phone from a third party and do not know them. Every time they try to access the device, but end up with blocked FRP message.

This is really a serious problem for many users, as they are unknown and completely helpless.

What are the steps to enable FRP on Android?
Keep in mind that whenever you add a Google account to your phone, the FRP will be added on its own. To add a Google Account, follow the steps below that you must follow:

Go to Settings> Account> Add and account> Google. Now enter the username and password to add

When you want to disable FRP, you need to remove your Google account.

That is why:

Go to Settings> Accounts> Google and choose the added account and look for the “Remove account” option in the upper right corner

However, if you see, there is still no manual step offered to disable protection. Until that time, you can follow the steps above to remove protection from the device.

Whenever you think about selling or donating your phone, remember a few things before you do the factory reset:

Here, if you want to do a complete reset of your device, just do so without checking your account. You can easily sign in to your Google account without any error messages.
