If you are stuck with FRP lock on your Realme smartphone after updating to Android 15, don’t worry. In this detailed guide, we’ll show you how to bypass Google account verification and unlock your Realme device using a completely free method. Unlike paid tools, dongles, or complicated software, this process uses the official OTA downgrade package provided by Realme.

This guide is written for both beginners and advanced users. By the end, you’ll know:

What is FRP (Factory Reset Protection)?

FRP, or Factory Reset Protection, is a Google security feature introduced from Android 5.1 (Lollipop) and higher. Its purpose is to prevent unauthorized access if your phone is lost or stolen. Once you sign in with a Google account, the phone “remembers” it. If someone factory resets the phone without removing the account first, FRP will trigger and demand the original login credentials.

This means:

• If you forgot your Google account password after resetting, you’ll be locked out.
• If you bought a second-hand device without the previous owner removing the account, the phone becomes unusable.
• Even flashing firmware often doesn’t bypass FRP.

While FRP is great for security, it often creates headaches for genuine owners who forget their login or accidentally reset their phones. That’s where FRP bypass solutions like this one come in.

Why Android 15 Made FRP Harder

With every new Android update, Google improves FRP to close existing loopholes. Android 15 (2025 release) has introduced tighter restrictions:

• Limited access to apps after reset.
• Blocked older bypass tricks (like emergency call codes).
• Stronger security patches against flashing tools.
• Stricter USB debugging permissions.

This means most traditional FRP bypass tricks that worked on Android 13 or 14 may not work on Android 15. However, the downgrade method we’ll show you is still working and safe.

Realme Android 15 FRP Bypass Steps (2025)

This method works by bypassing the FRP temporarily using Activity Launcher, then downgrading the phone from Android 15 to Android 14 with an official OTA package. Once the phone is downgraded, you can bypass FRP again easily.

Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Bypass to Home Screen

• On the FRP-locked screen, install and open Activity Launcher.
• Navigate through hidden menus to access Settings.
• From here, enable Developer Options.

Step 2: Enable USB Debugging

• In Developer Options, turn on USB Debugging.
• This will allow your phone to communicate with your PC if needed and will help in sideloading/downgrade steps.

Step 3: Copy OTA File

• Download the correct Android 14 OTA downgrade package for your Realme model (list provided below).
• Copy the OTA file to your phone’s internal storage (not SD card).

Step 4: Restart Your Phone

• Reboot your Realme device normally.
• This ensures the phone recognizes the copied OTA file.

Step 5: Install OTA via Local Update

• Go to Settings > Software Update > Local Update.
• Select the Android 14 OTA downgrade file.
• The phone will verify and install the package.
• Wait until the installation is complete (10–15 minutes).

Step 6: Bypass FRP Again

• After the downgrade, your Realme phone will be on Android 14.
• Now repeat the FRP bypass method again (Activity Launcher or other Android 14 methods).
• You should now be able to access the full phone.

✅ That’s it! You have successfully bypassed FRP on Realme Android 15 without using any paid tool.

Important: Always use the correct OTA file for your model, otherwise installation may fail or cause boot loops.
