Hey guys! Are you locked out of your itel S16 Pro or Vision 2 because of Factory Reset Protection (FRP)? Don't worry, it happens! Maybe you forgot your Google account password after a reset, or you bought a used phone with FRP enabled. Whatever the reason, this guide is here to help you regain access to your device. We'll walk you through the steps to bypass FRP and get your phone back to normal. So, let's dive in!

Understanding FRP Lock

Before we get started, let's quickly understand what FRP is and why it's there. FRP, or Factory Reset Protection, is a security feature on Android devices. It's designed to protect your data if your phone is lost or stolen. When you factory reset your phone, FRP requires you to log in with the Google account that was previously associated with the device. This prevents unauthorized users from accessing your phone after a reset. While it's a great security measure, it can be a headache if you're the one locked out!

When FRP is enabled, after a factory reset, the phone will ask you to verify the Google account that was previously used on the device. If you don't remember the credentials, you're stuck! That's where FRP bypass techniques come in. There are several methods to bypass FRP, and the best one for you will depend on your phone model, Android version, and security patch level. Some methods involve using a computer, while others can be done directly on the device. Some exploits can be used to remove the FRP lock, such as installing specific apps or accessing developer options through specific button combinations. Keep in mind that FRP is intended to protect the device owner, and bypassing it should only be done on devices you own or have explicit permission to unlock. Attempting to bypass FRP on a device without authorization could have legal ramifications.

Methods to Bypass FRP on itel S16 Pro & Vision 2

Alright, let's get to the good stuff! Here are some methods you can try to bypass FRP on your itel S16 Pro or Vision 2. I'll try to explain each one in detail, so you can easily follow along.

Method 1: Using the Emergency Call Method

This method is one of the most commonly used, and it's worth trying first. It usually works on older Android versions, but it's always worth a shot. Let's see how it goes:

1. Start your itel S16 Pro or Vision 2 and connect to a Wi-Fi network.
2. When you get to the FRP lock screen (the one asking for your Google account), tap on "Emergency Call."
3. In the dialer, type *#812# or *#813# and press dial. Sometimes, this code will directly take you to the phone's home screen. If it works, congrats! You're done.
4. If the above code doesn't work, try typing *#900#. This might trigger the phone to bypass the FRP.
5. If none of these codes work, move on to the next steps.
6. In the emergency dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#*. This opens the "Testing" menu on some devices.
7. From the Testing menu, select "Usage statistics".
8. Go back using the back button, and you might find yourself in the phone's settings menu.
9. If you can access settings, enable "Developer options" by going to "About phone" and tapping on the "Build number" multiple times (usually 7 times).
10. In Developer options, enable "OEM unlocking."
11. Now, go back to the settings menu and perform a factory reset from within the settings. This time, when the phone restarts, it shouldn't ask for the Google account.

The emergency call method is effective because these codes sometimes bypass the security protocols that enforce FRP. The *#812# and *#813# codes are known to directly access the phone's system, while *#*#4636#*#* opens the Testing menu, potentially granting access to settings and other phone functionalities. Even though this method may not work on the latest Android versions, it’s worth trying because of its simplicity. Remember, if you manage to access the phone's settings, enabling OEM unlocking in the Developer options is crucial. OEM unlocking allows you to unlock the bootloader, which is required for flashing custom ROMs or performing advanced modifications. After enabling OEM unlocking, performing a factory reset from within the settings will remove the FRP lock since the phone will no longer require the previous Google account credentials. Always proceed with caution and ensure that you fully understand the implications of each step to avoid causing any unintended issues with your device.

Method 2: Using a Computer and ADB Tools

This method is a bit more technical and requires a computer, USB cable, and ADB (Android Debug Bridge) tools. If you're comfortable with a bit of technical stuff, this might be a good option.

1. Download ADB and Fastboot tools on your computer. You can find them easily with a quick Google search. Make sure to download the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
2. Install ADB and Fastboot tools on your computer. Follow the instructions provided with the download.
3. Download the USB drivers for your itel S16 Pro or Vision 2. Again, a quick Google search should help you find the right drivers. Install them on your computer.
4. Enable Developer options on your phone (if you can). If you can't access the settings, don't worry, we'll try another way.
5. In Developer options, enable USB debugging. This allows your computer to communicate with your phone.
6. Connect your itel S16 Pro or Vision 2 to your computer using a USB cable.
7. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer. Navigate to the directory where you installed ADB tools.
8. Type the command adb devices and press Enter. Your phone should appear in the list of connected devices. If it doesn't, make sure you've installed the USB drivers correctly and that USB debugging is enabled on your phone.
9. Now, use ADB commands to bypass FRP. The exact commands will vary depending on your phone model and Android version. Here are some commands you can try:
   • adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
   • adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity
   • adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.setup.dpc.DpcAddAccountActivity
10. After entering each command, check your phone. Sometimes, one of these commands will directly bypass the FRP lock.
11. If none of the commands work, you may need to flash a combination ROM for your phone. This is a more advanced technique that involves downloading a specific ROM file and flashing it to your phone using ADB and Fastboot tools. Be very careful when flashing ROMs, as it can brick your device if done incorrectly.

Using ADB tools involves several steps that require attention to detail. First, downloading and installing the correct ADB and Fastboot tools for your operating system is crucial. These tools are essential for communicating with your phone via your computer. You also need to install the specific USB drivers for your itel S16 Pro or Vision 2 to ensure proper connectivity. After connecting your phone to the computer and enabling USB debugging, the adb devices command verifies that your phone is recognized by the computer. This step is important for confirming that the ADB connection is working correctly. The ADB commands listed above are designed to insert specific settings or start certain activities that can bypass the FRP lock. These commands work by manipulating the phone's system settings to bypass the Google account verification process. If these commands do not work, the more advanced technique of flashing a combination ROM might be necessary. Flashing a combination ROM involves replacing the phone's current software with a special ROM designed for bypassing FRP. This method should be approached with caution because incorrect flashing can lead to irreversible damage to the device, commonly known as bricking. Always ensure you download the correct ROM for your phone model and follow the instructions carefully.

Method 3: Using TalkBack and Settings Menu

This method uses the TalkBack accessibility feature to access the phone's settings and disable FRP. It's a bit tricky, but it can be effective.

1. Turn on TalkBack by pressing and holding both volume buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. You should see a TalkBack tutorial screen.
2. On the TalkBack tutorial screen, draw an "L" shape on the screen. This will open the global context menu.
3. In the global context menu, double-tap on "TalkBack Settings."
4. Disable TalkBack by pressing both volume buttons again.
5. In TalkBack Settings, scroll down and select "Help & feedback."
6. In Help & feedback, search for "Use Morse code."
7. Tap on the YouTube video that appears in the search results. This will open the YouTube app.
8. In the YouTube app, tap on the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Settings."
9. Go to "About" and then "YouTube Terms of Service." This will open a browser window.
10. In the browser window, search for "Apex Launcher" or "Nova Launcher" and download one of them.
11. Install the launcher you downloaded. This will give you access to the phone's home screen.
12. Once you're on the home screen, go to "Settings" and enable "Developer options" by tapping on the "Build number" multiple times.
13. In Developer options, enable "OEM unlocking."
14. Now, go back to the settings menu and perform a factory reset from within the settings. This time, when the phone restarts, it shouldn't ask for the Google account.

The TalkBack method leverages the accessibility features of Android to navigate to the phone's settings and bypass FRP. By enabling TalkBack and drawing an “L” shape on the screen, you can access the global context menu, which allows you to open TalkBack Settings. Disabling TalkBack after accessing the settings makes navigation easier. From there, navigating to Help & feedback and searching for "Use Morse code" leads to a YouTube video. Accessing the YouTube app through this method allows you to open a browser window via the YouTube Terms of Service. In the browser, downloading and installing a launcher like Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher gives you access to the phone's home screen and settings menu. This step is crucial because it allows you to enable Developer options by repeatedly tapping on the Build number in the About phone section of the settings. Once Developer options are enabled, you can enable OEM unlocking, which is essential for bypassing FRP. Finally, performing a factory reset from within the settings after enabling OEM unlocking ensures that the phone will not ask for the Google account credentials upon restart, effectively bypassing the FRP lock. This method requires patience and precise execution of each step, but it can be a viable option when other methods fail.

Important Considerations

Before you start any of these methods, here are a few important things to keep in mind:

• Backup your data: If possible, try to back up your data before attempting FRP bypass. This is especially important if you have important photos, videos, or documents on your phone.
• Battery life: Make sure your phone has enough battery life (at least 50%) before starting the process. You don't want your phone to die in the middle of the bypass.
• Download the correct files: When downloading files like ADB tools, USB drivers, or ROMs, make sure you download the correct versions for your phone model and operating system. Downloading the wrong files can cause serious problems.
• Follow instructions carefully: Read and follow the instructions for each method carefully. Don't skip steps or try to rush through the process.
• Be patient: FRP bypass can take some time and effort. Don't get discouraged if the first method doesn't work. Just keep trying different methods until you find one that works for you.
