How to remove factory reset protection (Google Account lock) on spreadtrum devices like itel


Factory Reset protection is the new security google added to android lollipop. When you reset the device from recovery menu, FRP switch is tripped which will ask the user to input the Google account that was previously used on the device. Even though this was made for security reasons, we sometimes forget the account details that was on the device before reset so stuck on input Google account details.
The following tutorial below will show you how you can remove FRP on Spreadtrum devices like iTel which have included this security on their new devices.

Note
Make sure device have at least 30% battery life
Do this at your own risk

Insert SIM card into phone and boot it up

    1. If there's facebook, share with it then go to terms and condition page. Highlight a word and click the search button. From the Google search bar search for file manager select and continue from there. Hope u understand
