Pixel 4 FRP bypass — FAQ

Everything technicians ask before running an FRP bypass on the Google Pixel 4 with FRPB.

Can FRP bypass restore Face Unlock on a reset Pixel 4?

FRP recovery restores device setup access to the phone as a new device. Once through the setup wizard, you can register fresh face recognition biometric profiles.

Does FRP recovery on the Google Pixel 4 remove carrier SIM locks?

No. FRPB exclusively addresses Google Factory Reset Protection (Google Account lock) and diagnostic device verification. It does not modify network carrier subsidy SIM locks (such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or EE restrictions). Network SIM unlocking must be requested directly through your cellular carrier.

Will recovering FRP on the Google Pixel 4 restore my deleted photos or messages?

No. Factory Reset Protection is only triggered after a factory reset has already erased user partitions and encryption keys. FRP recovery restores device setup access to the handset as a clean smartphone; it does not recover erased personal data.
