How to Bypass FRP on any Pixel Device
In this guide, we will show you the steps to bypass the FRP [Factory Reset Protection] on any Pixel device. This process will work till the Pixel 9 series, but only till the Android 14 April update, because after that, Google has patched this workaround [UPDATE: A few users have said that they were able to try out the steps successfully on Android 15 as well].
Since the Pixel 10 series came with Android 16 out of the box, this trick will not work with those devices. Likewise, Google has patched the bootloader rollback on the Pixel 6A, so you wouldn’t be able to downgrade it as well. Still, if you want, you are more than welcome to give it a try and let us know the result. So on that note, let’s get started with the steps.
