Google to end the bleeding of stolen smartphones, for some years, activated the block called FRP, which stands for Factory Reset Protection, which in practice does not allow the restoration of a phone if you do not the first login with the previously configured account.
In practice, if we format recovery from smartphones or install a new firmware, you will still not be able to use your the smartphone if you first do not connect as the account used before the restore, or unlink your Google account, before doing a full restore to the conditions of the factory.
This system has been implemented to prevent any stolen or lost smartphone from being usable by anyone with a simple reset or firmware flash, but you should know that you can also bypass this block on almost all Google smartphones, even if the latest Android version 9 Pie, has not yet been bypassed.
At least up to Android 8 Oreo, we can get around the FPR relatively easily using a small program and some simple steps.
Here we help you to detail all the movements in detail.
