You can deactivate your Google account from a Mi A1 if you wish to sell your device, gift it to a friend or family member, recycle it, or if you’ve chosen to transfer to a different Google account. To do this, just follow the steps in the next section:
The FRP (Factory Reset Protection) of the operating systems Android 7.1.2 Nougat, Android 8.0 Oreo, Android 8.1 Oreo, and Android 9.0 Pie is deactivated when the Google account is deleted from the Mi A1. This protection links the Xiaomi Mi A1 to a Google account so that when it is rebooted or blocked due to loss or theft, it will ask for the Google account username and password.
As most people are aware, the operating system’s designers work hard to safeguard their customers’ cellphones. FRP prevents someone who has stolen a mobile device from activating it for future use to this extent. That is, if the attacker tries to reactivate the device, a notification claiming that the smartphone only supports the owner’s Google account will appear on the screen.
Factory Reset Protection is undoubtedly a helpful feature. However, a person who purchased a used smartphone may also experience difficulties activating a new account. There is no theft occurring in this instance. However, the customer is not given the chance to activate their account.
Unfortunately, when a smartphone is acquired secondhand, the issue with establishing a new Google account happens rather frequently. There are two approaches to fixing the problem: the formal and informal methods.
These names are somewhat random. Nevertheless, they sufficiently describe the user’s required actions. To reset their Google account in the first scenario, the user must speak with the former owner of the smartphone. The second technique involves FRP bypassing on its own without utilizing the information from the previously created account.
