Hey guys! Ever locked yourself out of your Infinix X573 after a factory reset? It happens! That's where FRP, or Factory Reset Protection, kicks in. It's a security feature designed to protect your device if it's stolen or reset without your permission. But, if you're the rightful owner and just forgot your Google account details, it can be a real pain. The good news is, you can bypass FRP on your Infinix X573 without needing a PC! I'm going to walk you through the steps to get your phone unlocked and back in your hands, pronto.

Understanding FRP Lock

Before diving into the bypass methods, let's understand what FRP lock is and why it appears. Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security feature on Android devices running version 5.1 (Lollipop) and later. It's automatically enabled when you set up a Google account on your phone. After a factory reset, FRP requires you to log in with the same Google account that was previously used on the device. This is intended to prevent unauthorized access if your phone is lost or stolen. However, it can become a problem if you forget your Google account credentials or buy a used phone with FRP lock enabled by the previous owner. Unlocking FRP without a PC is sometimes possible through various methods that exploit vulnerabilities in the device's software. These methods usually involve accessing the phone's settings through workarounds and disabling the FRP lock from within the device. The complexity and success rate of these methods vary depending on the phone model, Android version, and security patch level. Keep reading, and I’ll guide you through the most reliable methods.

Method 1: Using TalkBack and Settings Menu

This method leverages the TalkBack accessibility feature to access the settings menu and disable FRP. It's one of the more common methods for bypassing FRP without a computer. Here's how to do it:

1. Start the phone and connect to Wi-Fi: Turn on your Infinix X573 and connect it to a Wi-Fi network. You'll need a stable internet connection for this to work.
2. Get to the FRP lock screen: Proceed through the initial setup until you reach the FRP lock screen, which says something like "Verify your account".
3. Enable TalkBack: Press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously for about 3 seconds. This should activate TalkBack. If it doesn't, try repeating the process a few times. A TalkBack tutorial screen should appear.
4. Draw an "L" on the screen: Once TalkBack is enabled, draw an "L" shape on the screen. This will open the Global Context Menu.
5. Select "TalkBack Settings": Double-tap on the "TalkBack Settings" option in the menu.
6. Disable TalkBack: Now, you need to disable TalkBack so it doesn't interfere with the rest of the process. Press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons again for about 3 seconds to turn TalkBack off.
7. Use the Help & Feedback option: In the TalkBack settings, scroll down and select "Help & Feedback".
8. Access YouTube via Voice Access: In the Help & Feedback section, type "Voice Access" in the search bar. Select the "Get started with Voice Access" option. This will take you to a YouTube video.
9. Open YouTube: Tap on the video to play it. Then, tap on the three dots (ellipsis) in the corner of the video and select "Share". Choose "Gmail" from the share options.
10. Access Settings through Gmail: In the Gmail app, you'll need to add an email account. Choose any email provider (like Outlook or Yahoo) and enter your email address and password.
11. Go to Manage Accounts: After setting up the email account, tap on the three dots (menu) in the top-right corner and select "Settings". Then, tap on the three dots again and choose "Manage accounts". This will take you to the phone's settings menu.
12. Enable Developer Options: In the settings menu, scroll down to "About phone" and tap on it. Find the "Build number" and tap on it repeatedly (usually 7 times) until you see a message saying "You are now a developer!".
13. Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging: Go back to the main settings menu and you'll find a new option called "Developer options". Tap on it. Inside Developer options, enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging".
14. Factory Reset from Settings: Go back to the main settings menu, then go to "General management" or "Backup & reset" (depending on your device's menu structure). Select "Factory data reset" and confirm the reset. Your phone will now restart without the FRP lock.

This method can be a little tricky, especially with TalkBack, but stay persistent! If it doesn’t work the first time, try again. The key is to follow each step carefully.

Method 2: Using Google Keyboard and Quick Shortcut Maker

This method uses a loophole through the Google Keyboard settings and a popular app called Quick Shortcut Maker. Keep in mind you'll need to sideload Quick Shortcut Maker, which requires a bit of finesse. Don’t worry; I’ll walk you through it:

1. Start the Phone and Connect to Wi-Fi: Same as before, power on your Infinix X573 and connect to a Wi-Fi network.
2. Reach the FRP Lock Screen: Proceed until you see the "Verify your account" screen.
3. Open Keyboard Settings: Tap in the email/phone input field to bring up the keyboard. Long-press the comma (,) key or the settings icon (gear icon) on the keyboard. This should open the keyboard settings.
4. Go to Google Keyboard Settings: In the keyboard settings, find and select "Google Keyboard Settings" or "Languages & input".
5. Access Help & Feedback: In the Google Keyboard settings, tap on the three dots (menu) in the top-right corner and select "Help & Feedback".
6. Use Voice Command to Open Chrome: In the Help & Feedback section, type anything in the search bar. Then, select the text and tap on "Web search". This will open the Google app.
7. Download Quick Shortcut Maker: In the Google app, search for "Quick Shortcut Maker APK download". Download the APK file from a reliable source (like APKPure or APKMirror). You might need to grant Chrome permission to install apps from unknown sources.
8. Install Quick Shortcut Maker: Once the APK file is downloaded, open it to install Quick Shortcut Maker. If you get a security prompt, go to Settings > Security and enable "Unknown sources" (or "Install unknown apps").
9. Open Quick Shortcut Maker: After installation, open the Quick Shortcut Maker app.
10. Find Google Account Manager: In Quick Shortcut Maker, search for "Google Account Manager".
11. Select "Type Email and Password": Look for an option called "Google Account Manager > Type Email and Password". Tap on it.
12. Try to Access the Login Screen: Tap on "Try". This should bring you to a screen where you can enter your Google account credentials.
13. Bypass the FRP Lock: Enter a valid Google account and password. If it works, the device will sign in, and you can proceed with the setup process. If it doesn't work directly, try restarting the phone after adding the account.
14. Factory Reset from Settings (Again): If the above steps allow you to access the phone's settings, go to "Settings" > "Backup & reset" > "Factory data reset" and reset the phone. This will remove the FRP lock permanently.

This method relies on finding a working version of Quick Shortcut Maker and navigating the app effectively. It's a bit more involved but can be very effective if the TalkBack method doesn't work. Make sure you download the APK from a trustworthy source to avoid any security risks.

Method 3: Using a SIM Card Lock

This method is a bit of a wild card, but it has worked for some users. It involves locking your SIM card with a PIN and using that to gain access to the phone's settings. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Prepare a SIM Card with a PIN Lock: You’ll need a SIM card that’s already locked with a PIN. You can usually set a PIN in your phone’s SIM card settings.
2. Insert the Locked SIM Card: Insert the PIN-locked SIM card into your Infinix X573 while it’s on the FRP lock screen.
3. Enter the Incorrect PIN: Power on the phone and proceed until you see the screen prompting you for the SIM card PIN. Enter the incorrect PIN a few times until the SIM card gets locked.
4. Remove the SIM Card: After entering the wrong PIN multiple times, a notification will appear saying the SIM card is locked. At this point, quickly remove the SIM card from the phone.
5. Tap on the Settings Icon: Immediately after removing the SIM card, a settings icon (gear icon) might appear on the screen. Tap on it.
6. Access Settings: If you’re quick enough, tapping the settings icon will take you to the phone’s settings menu.
7. Enable Developer Options and OEM Unlocking: Follow the steps in Method 1 to enable Developer Options, OEM Unlocking, and USB Debugging.
8. Factory Reset: Again, follow the instructions in Method 1 to perform a factory reset from the settings menu.

This method requires precise timing and may not work on all devices or Android versions. It's a bit of a long shot, but worth trying if you’re out of options.

Important Considerations and Troubleshooting

• Android Version and Security Patch: The success of these methods depends heavily on the Android version and security patch level of your Infinix X573. Newer security patches often close the loopholes used in these bypass methods. If a method doesn't work, it might be because the vulnerability has been patched.
• Download Apps from Trusted Sources: When downloading APK files (like Quick Shortcut Maker), always use trusted sources like APKPure or APKMirror. Downloading from unknown sources can expose your device to malware.
• Battery Life: Make sure your phone has sufficient battery life before starting the bypass process. The last thing you want is for your phone to die mid-process.
• Patience is Key: Bypassing FRP can be frustrating, so be patient and try each step carefully. If one method doesn't work, try another.
• Official Support: If you're still struggling, consider contacting Infinix customer support or visiting a local phone repair shop. They might have more advanced tools or methods to bypass FRP.
• Alternate Methods: There are many videos on Youtube, be sure to check them out for visual learners.
