POCO FRP Bypass Guide for Locked POCO Phones

Part 1. Before You Try Any POCO FRP Bypass Method

Not all FRP bypass methods support all POCO phones, and following a random YouTube tutorial is how people end up with a soft-bricked device. MIUI and HyperOS security patches close old exploits every few months, so a method that functioned on one firmware build can fail, or damage the phone on a newer one. Thus, before performing any bypass, make sure to follow these steps:

• Check your Android/MIUI or HyperOS version: Go to Settings > About Phone if you can reach that screen, or check the model number printed on the box/SIM tray. Bypass methods are patch-specific. What functions on MIUI 13.0.11 often won't on 13.0.23 or later.

• Charge the phone to at least 50%: A shutdown during a bypass can corrupt the system partition.

• Have a stable Wi-Fi connection: Most FRP screens require internet access to proceed through the setup steps that bypass methods exploit.

• Confirm you actually own the device: Bypassing FRP on a phone you don't own, even one you bought secondhand, can leave you unable to prove ownership later, and in some regions it's treated as a legal grey area.

• Back up expectations, not data: Most bypass methods (manual or software) don't preserve app data, so treat this as a fresh setup, not a repair.

• Try the account-recovery route first. If there's any chance you remember the linked email or phone number, Google's account recovery flow is faster and cleaner than any bypass tool.

Part 2. Best Alternative for POCO FRP Bypass [Safe & Easy]

Manual FRP exploits use setup wizard loopholes, making them free but unreliable since updates can patch them and a single mistake may restart the process. A software-based tool, like UltFone Android Unlock, takes a more consistent and safer approach.

It connects directly to the device and uses a guided removal process tailored to the phone's brand and Android version. This makes the FRP bypass effective across Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices as MIUI and HyperOS evolve. Besides, the bypass is permanent with UltFone and won't come back after you reset the POCO phone. Here's what the tool offers:

• Best Manual Alternative: It offers a dependable FRP bypass when manual ones don't match your firmware or have already failed.

• Xiaomi & Android FRP Bypass: Removes FRP on Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, Vivo, OPPO, Realme, OnePlus, Huawei, Motorola, and more.

• Lock Screen Removal: Removes forgotten PINs, passwords, patterns, fingerprints, and Face ID locks.

• Samsung FRP Bypass: Bypasses Samsung FRP without a Google account, including support for newer Galaxy S26/S25 models.

• Data-Safe Unlock (Samsung): Preserves data on select older Samsung devices; most other devices require a factory reset.

• Compatibility: Supports Android versions from 6 to 17.

Here's how to use UltFone Android Unlock to remove FRP from your POCO phone:

• step 1 Install and execute UltFone on your computer. Then, attach your locked POCO phone to the same computer. Next, click "Remove Google Lock(FRP)."

  

• step 2 Then, choose the brand of your Android device. If you can't find it, click "Other Devices."

  

• step 3 Next, tap "All Android versions" if you're doubtful about the OS version. Hit "Remove Now."

  

  • step 3 Afterwards, follow the on-screen prompts to put your POCO phone into "Test Mode." Hit "Next." Wait for UltFone to remove the FRP lock. Then, reboot your phone.

    

Part 3. Other POCO FRP Bypass Options You Can Try First

When your POCO's firmware still supports one of the manual exploits, or you want to try other tools, here are 5 POCO FRP bypass options:

SamFw FRP Tool

Originally made for Samsung, SamFw now supports some Xiaomi and POCO phones for free. It offers one-click FRP removal using ADB or MTP, and on supported devices it can also perform factory resets and change region (CSC-style) settings. But Xiaomi and POCO support is more limited than Samsung, and success depends on the model and security patch.

So, newer HyperOS devices may not be recognized. Also, SamFw only supports Android 5.0 to Android 14, and its FRP removal works best with security patches released before December 2022. Here's how to perform POCO M3 FRP bypass or remove FRP on other versions with the SamFw FRP tool:

• step 1 Download theSamFw tool on your computer from the official source.

• step 2 Power off your POCO phone, then press and hold the "Power + Volume Up" buttons to enter "Recovery Mode."

• step 3 Select "Connect with MiAssistant." Then, choose "Xiaomi," and connect the phone to your PC.

  

• step 4 Open "SamFw Tool." Head to "Xiaomi." Next, select "Sideload." Hit "Remove FRP" to begin the FRP bypass process.

TFT Unlock Tool

TFT Unlock is a repair tool that also includes FRP bypass and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux (through an emulator). It supports multiple brands, including Xiaomi and POCO, and also offers bootloader unlocking, IMEI repair, firmware flashing, and a guided interface.

The TFT Unlock tool is best for MediaTek-based POCO phones. But it may be less dependable on Snapdragon models, and can trigger antivirus warnings on Windows, which is frequent with low-level flashing tools. Here's how to perform FRP bypass on POCO with the TFT Unlock tool:

• step 1 Download the latest TFT Unlock Tool from a trusted source and execute it as "Administrator."

• step 2 Install the required USB drivers. MediaTek (MTK) phones need MediaTek USB VCOM drivers.

• step 3 Open the TFT Unlock Tool. Sign in to your account if you've bought a license. Then, choose "Xiaomi." From the list, choose your POCO phone model.

  

• step 4 Head to the "Security" section, and choose "(BROM) Erase FRP." Switch off the phone.

• step 5 Follow the tool's instructions to enter your POCO phone into BROM (Boot ROM) Mode (for MTK phones).

  

• step 6 Connect the phone to your computer. Wait until the tool shows "Success" or "OK," then disconnect the phone. It should reboot without the Google account lock.

GetApps + Second Space Method

The GetApps + Second Space is a free, no-PC method for older MIUI versions, including many POCO M3 and C40 phones with early security patches. This method only functions on unpatched Android Setup and Google Play Services versions. For example, the POCO C40 FRP bypass 13.012 stopped working after Xiaomi patched the loophole.

While the POCO M3 FRP bypass is only successful on MIUI 12.5, 13, or 14. On HyperOS and newer MIUI 14 updates, Xiaomi has also blocked the share menu, YouTube Terms, and Open Settings entry points. So, if these options are missing, the exploit won't work on your device. Here's how to perform POCO C40 FRP bypass 13.012 with the GetApps + Second Space method:

• step 1 Turn on your POCO phone. Then, connect to "Wi-Fi." Head back to the "Connect to Network" screen.

• step 2 Tap "Add network" and type "[https://tinyurl.com/kctx69hp\](https://tinyurl.com/kctx69hp)" into the SSID field.

  

• step 3 Double-tap the "URL," select the "Download" icon, and choose "Notes" from the sharing popup.

  

• step 4 Tap the "Download" icon again inside "Notes," select "Share notes as picture," and choose "Google Search image."

  

• step 5 Double-tap the link on the screen, select "website," and go through the "Chrome" welcome prompts ("Accept & Continue" > "No Thanks").

  

• step 6 Head to "Settings & GetApps." Search for "Techeligible" in "Chrome." Open the site, and head to the "Menu." Then, select "Download FRP Tools."

  

• step 7 Move down and click "Access Device Settings."

  

• step 8 In "Settings," head to "Additional Settings." Choose "Region" and change it to "India."

  

• step 9 Head back to the main "Settings" page. Next, move to "Apps." Choose "Manage apps."

• step 10 Pick "Find apps" to launch the official GetApps store (skip any introductory or essential app prompts).

  

• step 11 Search for and install "Activity Launcher" inside the app store. Open it, search for "Security," and locate the "Security Core Component."

  

• step 12 Click the first "Second Space" option and select "Turn on Second space."

  

• step 13 Once created, tap "Continue," choose "Using a shortcut." Click "Continue" again, and select "Skip" on the password setup screen.

  

• step 14 Wait 2--3 minutes on your POCO's home screen for all apps to load.

Accessibility (Talkback) Method

The Accessibility (TalkBack) method is a free manual workaround for some POCO M3, M3 Pro, and C40 phones running MIUI 12.5--14. This method only functions if Accessibility is still available before the setup wizard locks it. HyperOS 2.0 and many newer MIUI 14 updates have blocked this workaround, so it is mainly useful on older, unpatched POCO M3 and C40 devices.

• step 1 Turn on your POCO phone and connect to Wi-Fi. Head back to the "Hello" screen. Click "Vision Settings."

• step 2 Toggle "Use TalkBack" ON. Activate Voice Command. To do that, on the black "Welcome to TalkBack" page, swipe right and then swipe up.

  

• step 3 Double-tap "Use voice command" (draw an "L" shape if needed). Say loudly: "Google Assistant."

  

• step 4 When prompted, double-tap "Use without a Google account." Click "Next." Choose "English." Hit "Done."

  

• step 5 Open "Settings" via "Voice." To do that, wait for the listening screen to appear, then double-tap the "Mic" icon.

• step 6 Say, "Open Settings" (repeat if it doesn't work the first time). Enable "Accessibility Menu."

  

• step 7 In "Settings," head to "Accessibility." Choose "Accessibility Menu." Next, turn on "Accessibility Menu Shortcut." Click "Allow." Hit "OK."

  

• step 8 You'll now see a 3-dot icon on the right edge of your screen. Head back to the TalkBack screen and toggle "TalkBack OFF."

  

• step 9 Tap the "3-dot icon." Next, select "Assistant." From the popup, tap the "Account" icon. Hit "Help."

  

• step 10 Click the "Share" icon. Choose "Google Go" (or "Chrome"). Head to the "Home" tab and tap the "Search" icon.

  

• step 11 Search for "Download FRP Tools Techeligible." Open the first result and move down.

  

• step 12 Click "Set Pattern Lock" beneath "Access to Apps Directly." Tap "Pattern." Draw your desired pattern. Hit "Next."

  

• step 13 Redraw the same pattern. Click "Confirm." It may take 5--10 attempts before it works. So, keep retrying.

  

• step 14 Once successful, hit "Skip" on the "Keep device unlocked" screen. Head back to the "Hello" screen and complete the setup wizard.

  

• step 15 If asked to "Verify Pattern," enter the pattern you just set. You can now skip Google Sign-in and finish setup.

  

• step 16 Next, you'll then reach the main home screen of your POCO phone and regain access to your device.

Activity Launcher + ShareMe Method (Two-Device Method)

The Activity Launcher + ShareMe method uses a second Android phone to add a new Google account to the locked POCO device. This method also requires an active SIM card, and a stable connection. It only functions on some unpatched software versions, as HyperOS 2.0 has blocked it on many newer POCO models, including the recent X7 series. It may also take several attempts to succeed.

• step 1 Turn on your POCO phone. Then, connect to Wi-Fi. Head to "Add network." Click the "Network Name" field to bring up the keyboard.

  

• step 2 Tap the "Smiley/Emoji" icon. Hit it again on the top bar. Then, click the "Settings" gear icon at the bottom.

  

• step 3 On the keyboard page, tap "Theme" from the top bar. Select the "Black" theme. Click the "Share" icon.

  

• step 4 From the popup, choose "ShareMe" to open it. Grant permissions by tapping "Agree." Click "Next."

  

• step 5 Choose "While using the app." Hit "Next." Then, again, "While using the app." Tap "Allow." You'll now see a QR code scanner screen on your POCO.

  

• step 6 On your second (helper) Android phone, open "Google Play Store." Search and install "ShareMe."

• step 7 Search and install "Activity Launcher." Open "ShareMe" on the helper phone. Grant permissions by tapping "Agree." Click "Join."

  

• step 8 Tap "Next." Choose "While using the app." Click "While using the app" again. Hit "Allow."

• step 9 On the "Send & Receive" page, hit "Receive." Turn on both WiFi and Bluetooth when prompted.

  

• step 10 A QR code will appear on your helper phone's screen. Use your locked POCO to scan the QR code from the helper phone.

  

• step 11 Click "Connect" on the POCO. On the helper phone, tap "Share Files. Next, choose "Apps."

• step 12 Select "Activity Launcher." Hit "Send" to transfer it. On your POCO, tap "Install." Next, click "RUN."

  

• step 13 Tap the "Search" icon and type "Second Space." Select "Second Space (com.miui.securityspace.ui.activity.PrivateSpaceMainActivity)."

  

• step 14 Pick "Turn on Second space," and wait for it to complete. If your phone restarts, don't worry.

  

• step 15 Repeat all steps to reach "Activity Launcher" again. Search for "Second Space" again.

• step 16 This time, click "Go to Second Space" instead. You should now be able to reach the main home screen on your POCO.

  

• step 17 Swipe down from the top to open the notification bar. Tap the "Settings" icon. Head to "Additional Settings."

  

• step 18 Choose "Factory Reset." Next, select "Erase all data." Click "Factory reset." Hit "Next." Then, "Ok." Your POCO phone will reset, and the FRP lock will be removed.

  

Part 4. Risks of POCO FRP Bypass

FRP exists to protect people, so getting around it, even for legitimate reasons, carries some real trade-offs worth knowing before you start:

• Data loss: Almost every bypass method, manual or software, results in the phone being reset to a fresh state.

• Boot loops or soft bricks: Manual exploits involve force-stopping system apps and manipulating settings in ways they weren't designed for. Done incorrectly, this can leave the phone stuck in a restart loop or unable to boot past the setup screen.

• Malware from untrusted APKs: Free "FRP bypass APK" files circulated on forums and file-sharing sites aren't vetted by Google Play. Some bundle adware or worse, especially the ones that require disabling Play Protect to install.

• Voided warranty: Depending on your region and retailer, using manual firmware tricks can void any remaining manufacturer warranty on the device.

• Legal ambiguity around secondhand devices: If you can't prove ownership of the phone, bypassing FRP, even with good intentions, can create problems if the original owner later reports it lost or stolen.

• Repeated lockouts: Some manual methods only get you past the verification screen without actually disabling FRP, meaning the same prompt can reappear after another reset or update.

Part 5. How to Avoid POCO FRP Lock Next Time

Once you're back into your phone, a couple of countermeasures can prevent this entire situation from happening again:

• Remove your Google account before resetting: Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts (or Accounts & Sync on older MIUI), select your Google account, and remove it before you factory reset the device for resale, repair, or a clean start.

• Keep your Google account credentials somewhere safe: A password manager or a written note beats relying on memory, especially since FRP will ask for the account that was active before the reset.

• Turn off FRP where available: Some MIUI/HyperOS versions include a direct FRP toggle in security settings. So, check under Settings > Passwords & Security > Privacy for anything related to "Find Device" or account protection before resetting.

• Sign out of all accounts if you're selling or trading the phone: If more than one Google account was ever added, remove all of them, not just the primary one.

• Buy secondhand POCO phones only after confirming the FRP status: Ask the seller to remove their Google account and perform a factory reset in front of you (or verify it remotely) before you complete the purchase.

• Keep your MIUI/HyperOS software updated: Newer patches close the same accessibility loopholes that bypass methods exploit. But it also closes vulnerabilities that allow malware or unauthorized users to bypass your lock if the phone is ever lost.

FAQs About POCO FRP Bypass

Can I do POCO FRP bypass without PC?

Yes. Older MIUI versions support manual FRP methods like the GetApps browser trick or TalkBack/Accessibility shortcuts without a PC. However, these exploits are patch-dependent, so they often don't function on newer MIUI or HyperOS builds, making PC-based tools, like UltFone Android Unlock, a more dependable option.

Is POCO FRP bypass legal?

Bypassing FRP on a phone you own is generally legal if you've forgotten your credentials. It may be illegal on lost, stolen, or unauthorized devices. If you bought the phone secondhand, confirm its ownership status with the seller first.

Why does my POCO still ask for the old Google account after reset?

This is because a factory reset doesn't remove FRP. It activates it. If the Google account wasn't removed before the reset, the phone will keep asking for those credentials until you sign in with the correct account or bypass FRP.

Conclusion

A POCO stuck on the Google verification screen isn't a dead end. You can employ many free, manual POCO FRP bypass methods. But their success depends on your exact MIUI or HyperOS version, and many are patched by Xiaomi updates.

For a consistent and safer solution, UltFone Android Unlock offers a guided FRP removal process. It supports FRP bypass on both the latest and earlier Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, and other major Android brands without relying on setup wizard exploits.
