Hey guys! Ever locked yourself out of your Infinix X573 after a factory reset? It happens to the best of us. That pesky Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock can be a real headache, especially when you don't have a PC handy. But don't worry, because today, we're diving deep into how to bypass the FRP lock on your Infinix X573 without needing a computer. Yep, you heard that right! We're going to explore several methods that you can try right on your phone. Let's get started and get you back into your phone ASAP.

Understanding FRP Lock

First things first, let's quickly understand what FRP lock is all about. FRP, or Factory Reset Protection, is a security feature on Android devices designed to protect your data if your phone is stolen or lost. When you perform a factory reset, FRP requires you to log in with the Google account that was previously synced with the device. This prevents unauthorized access to your phone. It's a great security measure, but it can be a pain if you forget your Google account credentials or buy a used phone with FRP enabled.

Now, while FRP is meant to protect your device, it can become a hurdle when you legitimately need to access your phone after a reset. Maybe you've forgotten your password, or you've bought a second-hand phone. Whatever the reason, being locked out of your own device is frustrating. That's why knowing how to bypass FRP, especially without a PC, can be a lifesaver. Keep in mind, though, that bypassing FRP on a device that isn't yours is illegal and unethical. This guide is strictly for those who own the device and have a legitimate reason to bypass the FRP lock. Remember, always respect the law and other people's property.

Method 1: Using TalkBack and Settings Menu

One of the most common methods to bypass FRP without a PC involves using the TalkBack feature and accessing the phone's settings menu. This method can be a bit tricky, but it's worth a shot if you're locked out of your Infinix X573. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Enable TalkBack: Start by turning on your phone and connecting to a Wi-Fi network. When you reach the FRP lock screen (the one that asks for your Google account), press and hold both volume buttons simultaneously for a few seconds until you see the TalkBack tutorial screen. If it doesn't work the first time, keep trying. It might take a couple of attempts.
2. Draw an L: Once TalkBack is enabled, draw an “L” shape on the screen. This will bring up the Global Context Menu. Double-tap on “TalkBack Settings” from the menu that appears.
3. Suspend TalkBack: In the TalkBack Settings menu, press both volume buttons again to suspend TalkBack. This will make navigating the settings much easier.
4. Help & Feedback: Scroll down and select “Help & Feedback.” This will open a new window with various options.
5. Use Morse Code: In the Help & Feedback section, type “Morse code” in the search bar and select the “Use Morse code” option. This will take you to a YouTube video.
6. Access Browser: Tap on the YouTube video to play it. Then, tap on the share icon and choose “Gmail.” This will open the Gmail app.
7. Add Account: In the Gmail app, select “Add an email address” and choose “Outlook, Hotmail and Live.” Enter any email address and password (it doesn't have to be a real one). Then, select “Exchange and Office365.”
8. Set Up Account: On the next screen, select “Select.” Then, choose “Password.” This will take you to the phone's settings menu where you can set up a new PIN, pattern, or password.
9. Bypass FRP: Once you've set up a new security method, go back to the beginning and restart your phone. When you reach the FRP lock screen again, it will ask for the new PIN, pattern, or password you just set. Enter it, and you should be able to bypass the FRP lock!

Important Notes: This method can be a bit finicky, and it might not work on all Infinix X573 devices depending on the Android version and security patch. If you encounter any issues, double-check each step and try again. Also, make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection throughout the process. This method relies heavily on accessing the settings menu through TalkBack, so patience is key. If this method doesn't work, don't worry; we have more tricks up our sleeves!

Method 2: Using Google Assistant

Another nifty method to bypass FRP on your Infinix X573 without a PC involves using Google Assistant. This method relies on being able to trigger Google Assistant and use it to access the phone's settings. Here’s how:

1. Enable TalkBack: Similar to the first method, start by enabling TalkBack. Press and hold both volume buttons until TalkBack is activated.
2. Open Google Assistant: Once TalkBack is enabled, draw an “L” shape on the screen to bring up the Global Context Menu. Then, double-tap on “Google Assistant.” This should open the Google Assistant interface.
3. Access Settings: In Google Assistant, type “Open Settings” using your voice or the on-screen keyboard. If Google Assistant recognizes the command, it should open the phone's settings menu.
4. Security Settings: Once you're in the settings menu, navigate to “Security” and then “Screen Lock.” Here, you can set up a new PIN, pattern, or password.
5. Bypass FRP: After setting up the new security method, restart your phone. When you reach the FRP lock screen, enter the new PIN, pattern, or password you just created. This should bypass the FRP lock and grant you access to your phone.

Important Notes: This method can be a bit hit-or-miss, as it depends on whether Google Assistant can be successfully triggered and whether it correctly interprets your commands. If you’re having trouble, try speaking clearly and ensuring that your phone has a stable internet connection. Also, keep in mind that this method might not work on all versions of the Infinix X573, depending on the Android version and security patch. If Google Assistant refuses to cooperate, don't give up just yet; we have more methods to explore!

Method 3: Using a SIM Card Lock

This method is a bit unconventional, but it has worked for some users. It involves using a locked SIM card to trigger a specific sequence that allows you to access the phone's settings. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Insert Locked SIM: Insert a SIM card that is locked with a PIN into your Infinix X573.
2. Enter Incorrect PIN: Turn on your phone and wait for it to ask for the SIM card PIN. Enter an incorrect PIN multiple times until the SIM card is locked and prompts you to enter the PUK code.
3. Remove SIM Card: While the phone is displaying the PUK code prompt, quickly remove the SIM card.
4. Settings Access: After removing the SIM card, a notification might appear on the screen. Tap on the notification to access the phone's settings.
5. Create New Lock: Go to “Security” settings and set up a new PIN, pattern, or password.
6. Reboot and Bypass: Restart your phone and enter the new PIN, pattern, or password when prompted on the FRP lock screen. This should bypass the FRP lock.

Important Notes: This method is highly dependent on timing and the specific software version of your Infinix X573. It might take a few tries to get the timing right when removing the SIM card. If you don't see a notification after removing the SIM, try repeating the steps. Also, make sure you have your PUK code handy in case you accidentally lock your SIM card permanently. If this method doesn't work, it's time to move on to the next technique.

Method 4: Using an OTG Cable and APK Files

While we're focusing on methods without a PC, this one technically uses an OTG (On-The-Go) cable and a USB drive, but it doesn't require you to connect to a computer for the bypass process itself. You'll need another phone to download the necessary APK files onto the USB drive. Here’s how it works:

1. Download APK Files: On another phone, download FRP bypass APK files such as FRP Bypass.apk and QuickShortcutMaker.apk. These files are essential for accessing the settings menu and bypassing the FRP lock.
2. Transfer to USB Drive: Copy the downloaded APK files to a USB drive.
3. Connect OTG Cable: Connect the USB drive to your Infinix X573 using an OTG cable.
4. File Manager Access: Your phone should detect the USB drive. Use a file manager to browse the contents of the USB drive.
5. Install APK Files: Install both the FRP Bypass.apk and QuickShortcutMaker.apk files. You might need to enable “Install from Unknown Sources” in the security settings to allow the installation.
6. Open QuickShortcutMaker: After installation, open the QuickShortcutMaker app.
7. Find Settings: In QuickShortcutMaker, search for “Settings” and select the “Settings” app from the list.
8. Launch Settings: Tap on “Try” to launch the phone's settings menu.
9. Add New Account: In the settings menu, go to “Accounts” and add a new Google account. This will override the previous Google account associated with the FRP lock.
10. Restart and Bypass: Restart your phone. When you reach the FRP lock screen, it should now recognize the new Google account you added, allowing you to bypass the FRP lock.

Important Notes: This method requires you to have access to another phone to download the necessary APK files. Make sure you download the APK files from a trusted source to avoid installing malware. Also, ensure that your Infinix X573 supports OTG connectivity. If you're having trouble detecting the USB drive, try using a different OTG cable or USB drive. While this method involves a bit more preparation, it can be a reliable way to bypass FRP without directly using a PC.
