In this guide, we will show you a nifty method through which you can bypass the FRP on your Nothing Phone. Once the Factory Reset Protection is enabled, it will prevent the use of your device after a Factory Reset in an untrusted environment. So if your device has been reset in any other way apart from the usual Settings menu, then the FRP Lock will be triggered.
In other words, if your device has been lost or stolen, and has been Factory Data Reset in an untrusted environment, then the FRP will kick in and the only way to gain access to your device is by entering your Google account credentials. This is definitely quite a useful device protection feature, however, there have been a few cases wherein the actual device owner has been locked out of his device, all due to the FRP.
If you also ever get stuck in this situation, then this guide will make you aware of a nifty workaround through which you can bypass the FRP/Factory Reset Protection on your Nothing Phone. Follow along.
