In the following article, we will detail in which situations you shouldn't use the FRP reset.
Previously we had a few documentations about the Factory Reset Protection (FRP). Including the purpose of the lock and even about the removal of it but for just a quick reminder, let us write it again:
Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. The flip side of the coin is that it can become a problem if you sell, trade, or even give away a phone without factory resetting it.
However, we have to be cautious as you can meet various locks on the phones, which ones are not related to the Factory Reset Protection.
So in which cases you should NOT use the FRP reset service?
