If you're stuck at the Google FRP screen, using an Android Unlocker is a simple but powerful tool to remove the FRP lock from your OnePlus phone without Google account credentials.
The method to remove the Google account FRP lock on a OnePlus device should be selected based on the Android version.
Google's Factory Reset Protection (FRP) serves as a vital security layer for OnePlus devices, ensuring that only the rightful owner can access the device after a factory reset by linking it to their Google account. Integrated into OnePlus's OxygenOS or HydrogenOS, FRP is a safeguard against theft or unauthorized use, but it can become a hurdle for legitimate users facing forgotten credentials or acquiring pre-owned devices.
In such cases, removing the Google FRP lock from a OnePlus phone becomes the only way to regain access. Fortunately, there are effective methods—some requiring a computer, others relying on clever on-device workarounds—that can help you remove OnePlus Google FRP lock without verifying Google login credentials, letting you use your device again.
This guide covers solutions tailored for OnePlus devices, offering safe and legal ways on how to remove Google FRP lock on OnePlus, providing comprehensive options for you to choose from.

When does FRP lock happen on OnePlus devices?
The FRP lock on OnePlus devices is triggered immediately after a factory reset through recovery mode if the Google account linked to the phone is not removed beforehand. This means that even if the device is wiped of all data and settings during the reset, FRP remains active unless the Google account was properly disassociated before the reset. Otherwise, during setup, the previously synced Google account's email and password will be required.
Here are the most common situations where FRP gets activated on a OnePlus phone:
- Forgotten Credentials: You performed a factory reset on Android phone but forgot the email address or password of the Google account previously used on the OnePlus.
- Second-Hand Device: You purchased or received a used OnePlus phone that was not correctly wiped and is still tied to the original owner's Google account.
- Device Recovery Attempt: A lost or stolen OnePlus phone is reset by someone else without authorization, triggering FRP to prevent reactivation.
Next, we'll cover solutions to remove the OnePlus Google FRP lock without needing the original account credentials.

Post-FRP removal steps
Successfully removing the FRP lock on your OnePlus device is only the first step. To ensure your phone remains secure and to prevent being locked out again in the future, it's important to take a few follow-up actions immediately after the bypass is complete.
Add a New Google Account
Head to Settings > Users & accounts > Add account > Google, and sign in with a valid Google account you own and can access long-term. This ensures proper syncing and prevents any future FRP complications. Remember to save your Google account login credentials to avoid forgetting them.
Regularly Back Up Data
Enable automatic backups via Settings > Additional Settings > Back Up and Reset, which ensures that even if a reset happens in the future, your data and settings can be restored easily from Google Backup Services or OnePlus Switch.
