How to bypass the Google account protection (FRP) on Moto G5s Plus (and probably others)


This tutorial is for those who got locked out of their phones due to a security feature that prevents you from using your cellphone without entering the last used Google Account. This feature is called FRP or Android Device Protection and this tutorial tells you how to bypass it.

Step one: Prepare your computer:

  1. Download and install the Motorola drivers (Motorola Device Manager) from: https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS88481
  2. Download a program called Motorola FRP which is included in the following .rar file and removes the protection: https://mega.nz/#!gUowkCZA!mvAKiDc5Iq3LftqOwz4qpfJ_S3rkywaTqtIqmFz4aKI

Step two: Phone
  1. Turn off your phone.
  2. Turn on the phone in Fastboot mode like this:
    • Press and hold the Volume Down button.
    • While continuing to hold Volume down, press and release the Power button but continue to hold Volume down until the boot mode screen appears. 
    • If you see an image of an Android like the following, you're on the right path:



Step three: Unlock
  1. Now, connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
  2. In your computer, open the file Motorola_FRP.exe which is within the .rar file. This file asks for a password which is in a text file next to the program.
  3. Now you should wait, the program will detect the device and will restart the device several times. 
  4. After the 3rd, the program will prompt us to allow USB debug -- Wait until the USB debug message appears on the cellphone and allow.
  5. The device will restart for the last time, the program will display the message "DONE" and our Moto G5s Plus will be unlocked :) 
This works for Android version 7.1.1 and it probably works for other Motorola models.
