Bypass Factory Reset Protection (FRP) on Coolpad Note 3

In this post, I will show you how to bypass FRP on your Coolpad Note 3.The reason why we were always hesitant to provide a step-by-step guide on how to bypass the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is because we wanted to help owners who lost their phones in our own way. However, we did receive a lot of emails from our readers asking for help as they unknowingly reset their phone with password and screen lock protection on.

The Factory Reset Protection (FRP) feature was introduced on Android with the release of Android 5.1 Lollipop, which is basically meant to protect your device and prevent unauthorized usage in case it’s lost or stolen.

What is Factory Reset Protection (FRP)?

Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a protection and safety feature to prevent thieves from using a stolen or lost device even if they try to hard reset the phone to factory settings or even flash it. FRP works only when you’re signed into your Google account and then if someone tries to hard reset your phone through recovery mode, they are required to enter the information for any Google account that has been earlier added to the device in order to regain access.

Coolpad Note 3 user, if somehow you’ve forgot your Google account email or password and hence are stuck at Google account verification because of FRP then we’ve got you covered. I’ve figured out a simple workaround to bypass the factory reset protection on Coolpad Note 3 running Lollipop.

This bypassing FRP trick is indeed useful but worrisome at the same time as it could potentially allow a thief to gain unauthorized access to your smartphone by following the stated steps. Considering how easily I was able to open to the locked device itself shows how poorly this function is implemented by the device manufacturer.
