Hello friends! Are you struggling with your OPPO A3x 5G smartphone after performing a factory reset? Are you stuck at the Google Account Verification screen but can’t remember your password? Don’t worry, this situation is known as FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock, a security feature implemented by Google.
In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through the detailed steps to bypass FRP on OPPO A3x 5G, updated for 2025. This method will help you unlock your Google account and regain normal access to your phone without needing to remember your old password.
Let’s get started!
What is FRP Lock and Why You’re Facing It on OPPO A3x 5G?
Before diving into the solution, let’s understand what FRP is.
FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is a security layer integrated by Google into Android operating systems since version Lollipop 5.1. Its primary purpose is to prevent unauthorized use of your device after theft and subsequent factory reset.
When you set up a Google account on your OPPO A3x 5G, the FRP feature is automatically activated. After performing a factory reset (via Recovery Mode or settings), upon restart, the phone will require you to sign in with the previously synchronized Google account to verify you’re the legitimate owner.
You encounter FRP Lock when:
- You’ve purchased a used OPPO A3x 5G where the seller didn’t sign out of their Google account
- You performed a factory reset but forgot the password for the Google account previously logged into the device
Whatever the reason, being stuck at the Google account verification screen is truly frustrating. Fortunately, there’s a way to overcome this challenge.
Essential Preparations Before Bypassing FRP on OPPO A3x 5G
To ensure a smooth FRP bypass process on your OPPO A3x 5G, prepare the following:
- Your OPPO A3x 5G with FRP lock: Ensure the phone has sufficient battery (at least 50%)
- Stable Wi-Fi connection: This is mandatory for downloading necessary data or establishing required connections
- Another phone (Android or iPhone): This secondary device needs internet connectivity and the ability to install apps. We’ll use it for the Clone Phone method
- (Optional) A SIM card: Some methods may require a SIM card, especially older techniques or when other approaches don’t work
- Patience: This process might take some time and attention to detail. Follow each step carefully
Once you’ve gathered everything, we can proceed to the main steps.
Steps to Bypass FRP on OPPO A3x 5G (Clone Phone Method)
Using OPPO’s Clone Phone feature is one of the most effective and popular methods to bypass FRP on recent OPPO models, including the A3x 5G.
Step 1: Connect to Wi-Fi and Reach the Main Setup Screen
- Power on your OPPO A3x 5G
- Select your language and region
- Connect the phone to a stable Wi-Fi network
- Continue through the steps until you reach the “Verify your account” screen. Here, you can’t proceed further because you don’t remember your Google account credentials
Step 2: Return to the Wi-Fi Screen and Access Settings
- At the Google account verification screen, press the back button repeatedly until you return to the “Connect to Wi-Fi” screen
- On the Wi-Fi screen, find and tap the “i” icon or arrow next to the name of the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to
- Select “Share”
- Choose “Nearby Share”
- When the “Nearby Share” pop-up appears, tap “Turn on”
- Next, you’ll see a “Need help sharing?” prompt. Tap on the “Need help sharing?” text
- This will open a help page. Find and tap the three dots or share icon in the top right corner of the screen
- Select “Share article”
Step 3: Open Chrome Browser
- In the list of apps for sharing, find and select “Chrome”
Step 3.1: Alternative if Chrome Doesn’t Work
- Select “Messages” instead
- Tap on “New message”
- In the recipient field, enter any phone number (e.g., 112 or 123) and send to that number
- In the message composition field, delete the automatically pasted help link content
- Type
www.youtube.com
in the message content and tap Send - After sending, you’ll see the
www.youtube.com
link is clickable. Tap on this link
Step 3.2: Access Settings from YouTube
- The YouTube app will open
- In the YouTube interface, tap the profile icon (avatar) in the top right corner
- Select “Settings”
- Choose “About”
- Select “YouTube Terms of Service”
- This will open a web browser (usually Chrome) on your phone
- Tap “Accept & Continue”, then select “No, thanks” if asked about synchronization
- Now you’ll have access to Chrome
Step 4: Access System Settings
- In the Chrome address bar, delete the current address and type:
addrom.com/bypass
> Press Enter - This website provides quick links to access settings or download necessary APK files for FRP bypass
- On the FRP bypass page (
addrom.com/bypass
), find and tap the link that says “Open Settings” - This action will directly open the Settings app on your OPPO A3x 5G. You’re halfway there!
Step 5: Use the Clone Phone Feature
- In Settings, scroll down and find “System Settings” or “Additional Settings” (name may vary depending on your ColorOS version)
- Find and select “Backup & Reset”
- Choose “Clone Phone”
- The built-in Clone Phone app will open. You’ll see permission warnings; grant necessary permissions if prompted
- In the Clone Phone app on your locked OPPO A3x 5G, select “This is the new device”
- Choose your old phone type as “OPPO, Realme, or OnePlus” or “Other Android phone”. A QR code will appear on your OPPO A3x 5G screen
Step 6: Prepare the Second Phone (Source Device)
- Take your second phone (the unlocked one)
- Go to Google Play Store or App Store (if using iPhone), search for and install OPPO’s “Clone Phone” app (usually has a green or blue logo). If your second phone is also Oppo/Realme/OnePlus, this app might already be pre-installed
- Open the Clone Phone app on this second phone
- Select “This is the old device”. Grant necessary permissions to the app (camera access, contacts, storage, etc.)
- Use the camera of the second phone to scan the QR code displayed on your locked OPPO A3x 5G
Step 7: Perform Data Copying (Just a Small App)
- After successfully scanning the QR code, the two phones will connect
- On the second phone (old device), you’ll see a list of data types that can be copied (contacts, messages, apps, photos, etc.)
- Important: Uncheck all large data items. Select just one random app, preferably a small one (e.g., Calculator, Notes, or any app you see). The purpose is just to make the “copying” process happen and complete
- Tap “Start Migration” or “Start Cloning”
- Enter the screen lock password of the second phone if prompted
Step 8: Complete the Process and Set Up Your Phone
- Wait for the copying process (just one small app) to complete on both phones. This usually takes only a few seconds to a minute
- On your locked OPPO A3x 5G, after receiving the “Cloning complete/Transfer complete” notification, tap “Done” or “Complete”
- Now, something magical will happen. You’ll be taken directly to the final setup screen of your phone, bypassing the Google account verification step
- Choose your navigation method (buttons or gestures), skip other optional settings (such as HeyTap Cloud login, screen lock – you can set these up later)
- Tap “Get Started”
Congratulations! You’ve successfully bypassed FRP on your OPPO A3x 5G and gained access to the home screen.
Important Notes and Troubleshooting
- Android/ColorOS Version: The detailed steps (such as how to access Settings from the Wi-Fi screen) might vary slightly depending on your device’s software version. If the above method doesn’t work, try finding other tutorial videos specific to your version (e.g., look for ways to access the browser via TalkBack or Emergency Call)
- Clone Phone App: Make sure you install the correct OPPO Clone Phone app on your second device. If the connection fails, try restarting both phones and trying again, also double-check your Wi-Fi connection
- App Permissions: Ensure you grant all necessary permissions to the Clone Phone app on both devices
- Remove Old Google Account (If Any): After gaining access, if you find the old Google account still remaining in Settings -> Accounts, remove it and add your own Google account
- Reset Again (Optional): To ensure your phone is completely “clean,” after successfully bypassing and gaining access, you can go to Settings -> System Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Reset Phone -> Erase All Data (Factory Reset). This time, since you’re already inside and can disable FRP (by removing the Google account before resetting), you won’t be locked again after resetting
- Legality: This method should only be used if you’re the legitimate owner of the device and have forgotten your login information. Using it to unlock devices of unknown origin is illegal
Getting stuck with FRP lock on your OPPO A3x 5G can cause significant inconvenience, but as you’ve seen, with the Clone Phone method updated for 2025, you can easily unlock your Google account and regain access to your device.
This process requires patience and precise execution of each step, from accessing Settings through clever workarounds to using the Clone Phone app to “trick” the system into skipping the verification step.
