Hey guys! Ever locked yourself out of your Infinix Hot running Android 10 after a factory reset? It happens! That pesky Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock can be a real headache. But don't worry, this guide will walk you through bypassing it. We'll break down the FRP lock, why it's there, and, most importantly, how to get past it on your Infinix Hot device. So, let's dive in and get you back into your phone!

Understanding FRP Lock

Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security feature on Android devices. It's designed to prevent unauthorized access to your phone if it's lost or stolen. When you perform a factory reset, FRP kicks in and requires you to sign in with the Google account that was previously synced with the device. This is a great security measure, but it can be a problem if you forget your Google account credentials or buy a used phone with FRP still enabled.

Why is FRP Important?

• Data Protection: FRP ensures that your personal data remains safe if your phone falls into the wrong hands.
• Theft Deterrent: By making it difficult for thieves to use a stolen device, FRP reduces the incentive for phone theft.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that your data is protected can give you peace of mind.

Common FRP Scenarios:

• Forgetting Google Account: The most common scenario is forgetting the Google account username or password used on the device.
• Buying a Used Phone: Purchasing a second-hand phone that still has FRP enabled from the previous owner.
• Software Issues: Occasionally, FRP can be triggered after a software update or a failed rooting attempt.

Now, let's get to the good part – bypassing FRP on your Infinix Hot running Android 10!

Methods to Bypass FRP on Infinix Hot (Android 10)

Alright, let's explore some methods to bypass the FRP lock on your Infinix Hot device. Keep in mind that the effectiveness of these methods can vary depending on the specific Android version and security patch level of your phone. Always proceed with caution and follow the instructions carefully. I am not responsible for any damage to your device.

Method 1: Using an OTG Cable and APK

This method is a classic and often works well on Android 10 devices. It involves using an OTG (On-The-Go) cable to connect a USB drive to your phone and installing an FRP bypass APK.

What You'll Need:

• Infinix Hot device with FRP lock
• OTG cable
• USB drive
• FRP bypass APK (search online for a reliable source – be cautious of malware!)
• A computer with internet access

Steps:

1. Download the FRP bypass APK to your computer. Transfer the APK file to your USB drive.
2. Connect the USB drive to your Infinix Hot using the OTG cable.
3. Power on your Infinix Hot and follow the on-screen instructions until you reach the FRP lock screen (the one asking for the Google account).
4. The file manager should automatically open, if not, try to access it through emergency call settings or other available options.
5. Locate the FRP bypass APK on your USB drive and install it. You may need to enable installation from unknown sources in the settings (if prompted).
6. Open the FRP bypass APK. This will usually give you access to the phone's settings menu.
7. Navigate to the Factory Reset option in the settings and perform a factory reset.
8. Reboot your device. After the reboot, the FRP lock should be gone, and you can set up your phone as new.

Method 2: Using TalkBack and Settings

This method leverages the TalkBack accessibility feature to access the phone's settings and disable FRP.

What You'll Need:

• Infinix Hot device with FRP lock
• A stable Wi-Fi connection

Steps:

1. Power on your Infinix Hot and connect to a Wi-Fi network.
2. At the welcome screen, activate TalkBack by pressing and holding both volume buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. Keep holding until you see a TalkBack tutorial screen.
3. Draw an "L" gesture on the screen with your finger. This will bring up the Global Context Menu.
4. Double-tap on "TalkBack Settings" in the menu. If double-tapping doesn't work use select to focus the selected option and then double tap anywhere on the screen to activate the focused option
5. Disable TalkBack by pressing both volume buttons again. This will make navigation easier.

12. Reboot your device. After the reboot, the FRP lock should be gone, and you can set up your phone as new.

Method 3: Using Combination ROM (Advanced)

This method is a bit more advanced and involves flashing a Combination ROM to your device. A Combination ROM is a special firmware designed for developers and technicians to bypass security features like FRP. Warning! This method carries a higher risk of bricking your device if not done correctly.

What You'll Need:

• Infinix Hot device with FRP lock
• Combination ROM for your specific Infinix Hot model and Android version (search online – ensure it's from a trusted source)
• SP Flash Tool (or similar flashing tool)
• MTK drivers installed on your computer
• USB cable
• A computer with internet access

Steps:

1. Download the Combination ROM, SP Flash Tool, and MTK drivers to your computer.
2. Install the MTK drivers on your computer.
3. Extract the Combination ROM and SP Flash Tool to separate folders.
4. Open SP Flash Tool and load the scatter file from the Combination ROM folder.
5. Select "Download Only" in the SP Flash Tool.
6. Connect your Infinix Hot to your computer in preloader mode (usually by pressing and holding volume up/down buttons while connecting the USB cable).
7. Click the "Download" button in SP Flash Tool to start flashing the Combination ROM.
8. Wait for the flashing process to complete. This may take a few minutes.
9. Once the flashing is complete, disconnect your phone and power it on.
10. The phone will boot into the Combination ROM. Enable USB debugging in the developer options (usually by tapping the build number multiple times).
11. Connect your phone to your computer and use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to execute the following command: adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
12. Now, flash the original stock ROM for your Infinix Hot device using SP Flash Tool (follow steps 4-8 with the stock ROM files).
13. Reboot your device. After the reboot, the FRP lock should be gone, and you can set up your phone as new.

Important Considerations

• Always download FRP bypass APKs and Combination ROMs from trusted sources to avoid malware or other security risks.
• Ensure that the Combination ROM you download is specifically for your Infinix Hot model and Android version to prevent compatibility issues.
