How to Bypass FRP Lock on POCO M6 (Google Account Removal)

Just performed a factory reset on your POCO M6 and now you’re stuck at the screen asking for the old Google account credentials? You’ve encountered the FRP lock (Factory Reset Protection) – a helpful security feature from Google, but sometimes a real headache if you’ve forgotten the password of the previously logged-in account.

Don’t worry! This article compiles and provides detailed steps to bypass the FRP lock on your POCO M6, allowing you to unlock your device easily at home, without needing a computer (PC) and without resorting to the complex TalkBack method.

What is FRP Lock and Why Are You Facing It?

Before jumping into the steps, let’s quickly understand FRP.

FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is a security layer integrated by Google into the Android OS (since Lollipop 5.1). Its main purpose is to prevent unauthorized individuals from using your phone after an illicit factory reset (e.g., if the phone is stolen).

When you sign in with a Google account on your Android phone, FRP activates automatically. After a factory reset, the system requires you to re-enter the exact Google account and password that were previously synced to verify ownership.

You typically encounter the FRP lock screen in these situations:

1. Forgotten Google Account Password: The most common reason.
2. Bought a Used Phone: The previous owner didn’t sign out of their Google account.
3. Performed a Factory Reset: But can’t recall the exact account used before the reset.

If you’re in this situation with your POCO M6, the guide below is your solution.

Preparations Before Bypassing POCO M6 FRP

To ensure the process goes smoothly, you’ll need a few simple things:

• Your POCO M6 phone stuck on FRP lock.
• A stable Wi-Fi connection: This is mandatory for downloading necessary data or accessing hidden settings.
• A SIM Card with a PIN code set: This method often leverages the SIM lock/unlock mechanism to access hidden menus. If your SIM doesn’t have a PIN, use another phone to set one (e.g., 1111 or 1234).
• A SIM Eject Tool.
• Patience: The process might require a few attempts if your timing isn’t perfect.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This method's success can vary depending on the specific MIUI version and Android security patch level on your POCO M6.

Steps to Bypass FRP on POCO M6 (No PC, No TalkBack)

Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Connect to Wi-Fi and Reach the Google Lock Screen

1. Restart your POCO M6.
2. Proceed through the initial setup steps: select language, region.
3. Connect the phone to a stable Wi-Fi network.
4. Continue the setup until you reach the “Verify your account” screen, asking for the previously synced Google account. This is the FRP lock screen.

Step 2: Use the SIM Card PIN Trick to Access Settings

This is the key step to open the door to the phone’s settings menu.

1. At the Google lock screen, insert the SIM card with the PIN code set into your POCO M6.
2. The screen will immediately ask for the SIM PIN. Do NOT enter the PIN yet.
3. Now, use the SIM eject tool and remove the SIM tray from the phone.
4. As soon as you remove the SIM, the PIN lock screen will disappear, possibly showing a quick notification or another brief screen. Quickly swipe down from the top edge of the screen to open the Notification Shade.
5. Look for a settings icon (gear symbol) or any tappable notification icon. Tap the settings icon if visible.
   • If no settings icon appears: Look for any notification (e.g., about the removed SIM) and press and hold on it. Select the app info icon (‘i’ in a circle) or notification settings. The goal is to find a way into the phone’s main Settings menu.
   • Retry if unsuccessful: If you couldn’t swipe down the notification shade in time or didn’t see a usable option, re-insert the SIM, wait for the PIN lock screen, then repeat the SIM removal and quick swipe-down process. Timing is crucial here.

Step 3: Access Settings and Utilize Built-in Features

Once you’re inside the main Settings menu, you’re almost there. Now, we’ll use built-in MIUI features to bypass the Google verification.

• Method 1: Using Second Space (Common on Xiaomi/Poco)
  1. In the Settings menu, scroll down and find Special features.
  2. Select Second Space.
  3. Tap Turn on Second Space.
  4. Wait for the phone to create the second space (this might take a few moments).
  5. After creation, it might ask to set a password or shortcut for the second space. You can Skip this step.
  6. You are now in the Second Space, which looks like a fresh phone interface.
  7. Reboot your POCO M6.
  8. After restarting, the phone might boot directly into the main (first) space’s home screen, bypassing the Google account verification. If it still asks for verification, try switching back to the Second Space (look for a ‘Switch’ icon on the home screen or in settings), then navigate to Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset) from within the Second Space. This time, after the reset, FRP might be disabled.
• Method 2: Setting a New Screen Lock
  1. In the Settings menu, navigate to Password & security.
  2. Select Screen lock.
  3. Choose a new lock type (e.g., Pattern, PIN, or Password).
  4. Set up a new lock code that you can easily remember.
  5. Once set, go back to the initial setup screen (the welcome screen after connecting to Wi-Fi). You can do this by pressing the back button repeatedly.
  6. Proceed through the setup again.
  7. When you reach the verification step, instead of asking for the Google account, the phone might ask you to enter the screen lock you just created. Enter it.
  8. If successful, you should now see an option to Skip the Google account login. Tap Skip.
• Method 3: Disabling Google Play Services (Less Reliable, Version Dependent)
  1. In Settings, go to Apps > Manage apps.
  2. Find and select Google Play Services.
  3. Tap Force stop and then try tapping Disable. (Note: The Disable button might be greyed out on many recent versions. If so, this specific method won’t work easily without other complex steps, potentially involving the Accessibility Menu which we are trying to avoid for initial entry per the ‘No TalkBack’ constraint).
  4. If you were able to disable it, go back to the Google verification screen. It might show an error or allow you to skip.
  5. After skipping, you must go back to Settings > Apps > Manage apps and Enable Google Play Services for the phone to function correctly.

Step 4: Complete the Setup

1. Once you have successfully bypassed the FRP lock screen using one of the methods above, continue with the remaining setup steps on your phone.
2. Skip any options to sign in or add a Google account if prompted.
3. When you reach the home screen, you have successfully bypassed FRP!

Step 5: (Recommended) Clean Up and Final Reset

To ensure your phone is completely clean and avoid potential glitches:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Navigate to Accounts & sync and remove any temporary Google accounts that might have been added (if applicable).
3. Go to About phone > Factory reset.
4. Choose Erase all data and confirm.
5. The phone will restart, and you can set it up as a completely new device without any FRP lock. This time, you can safely sign in with your own Google account or create a new one.

Important Notes and Troubleshooting

• Data Backup: The factory reset process erases all data. Ensure you have no critical data left on the device before starting.
• Software Versions: Steps might differ slightly based on your POCO M6’s MIUI version and Android security patch. If one step doesn’t work, search for minor variations of the method for your specific version on platforms like YouTube or tech forums.
• Patience is Key: You might need to try the SIM trick (Step 2) multiple times to get the timing right.
• Intended Use: This guide is intended solely to help you regain access to your own device when you’ve forgotten your credentials. Using these methods on a phone you do not legally own is unethical and illegal.

Being locked out of your POCO M6 due to FRP is certainly annoying, but as you’ve seen, there are viable ways to resolve it without needing a computer or complex TalkBack procedures. By leveraging the SIM card slot and built-in MIUI features like Second Space or setting a new screen lock, you can effectively bypass the Google account verification screen yourself.

We hope this detailed guide helps you successfully unlock your POCO M6. Follow each step carefully and be patient!
