Frequently asked questions

Can I hard reset an Android phone without the password? Yes — a flash reset clears the user-data partition over USB from a PC, so a forgotten password or pattern does not block the wipe on a device you are authorised to service.

Does a flash reset delete all my data? A flash reset wipes user data, accounts and settings and returns the device to factory state. Back up anything you need before running the operation.

Which devices support the FRPB flash reset? FRPB supports Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, OPPO, vivo, realme and Pixel devices on Android 10–15, across Exynos, Snapdragon and MediaTek chipsets.

Do I need a license for the flash reset tool? The flash reset module is included with an FRPB Active License. The signed Windows installer is served from the official GitHub Releases page and is adware-free.

FRPB is built strictly for authorised device owners and licensed repair professionals. Always confirm you own the handset — or hold explicit written permission from its owner — before running any recovery or unlock module.

Everything runs offline over a local USB connection. The installers are code-signed and adware-free, so you can trust exactly what runs on your machine.
