Spreadtrum Android phones are very popular and still retain their small position amidst the fierce competition from other manufacturers like Tecno, Infinix, Gionee, Wiko who mostly use Mediatek chips in their smartphones.
Reset Security Lock And FRP On Spreadtrum Android Phones
One thing I like about SPD phones, especially the new models running on Android 5.1 lollipop is the way it’s ordinarily hard to boot into recovery mode. I have in previous tutorials showed using different techniques. If you wish, below are the posts.
- SPD Reset Security Lock Method 1
- Spreadtrum Security Lock Removal Method 2

Talking about pattern lock, it’s not new. But FRP is the feature that makes an Android device with a Gmail account not to boot up after factory reset unless the main Google account that was on it is properly entered/verified. This is why it’s called Factory Reset Protection. It’s also available on Samsung and Gionee Android phones and can be equally removed. If the 2 methods above couldn’t get your SPD phone unlocked, try this trick to access the recovery menu:- Power off your SPD phone and re-insert the battery. (If it’s user removable).
- Press the power button and almost immediately/before the logo comes up (about 3 seconds after pressing the power key), press and hold the volume down button until you get into recovery mode. You should make sure the phone doesn’t vibrate before pressing and holding the volume down button. If it doesn’t work, repeat the process accurately.
- If you see a no command with an Android logo, you are almost done! Press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds before pressing the volume up button. The full recovery menu should now come up.
- Then scroll down, select Factory Data Reset, confirm it with Yes and after the reset, you can reboot.
[su_heading size="24"]How To Factory Reset SPD Android Device On Pattern, PIN Or Password Lock[/su_heading]
If you forgot the security lock on any of the recent Spreadtrum Android Lollipop or Marshmallow phones, to reset or remove the lock, try following the procedures outlined here. If you had a Google account on the phone before doing a factory reset, you might be required to enter the Google account email and password due to the FRP on the Itel phone. This is why you can’t skip the Network connection step in the setup wizard.Since factory reset protection is only triggered when you factory reset a phone with a signed in Google account, bypassing it isn’t very difficult. To easily bypass FRP on your SPD phone with the old Google security patch, you should reset the phone from the main Settings menu while there’s no Gmail account on the phone. To achieve this, please follow the steps outlined below; If you followed the procedures above, your phone would not have any security lock but will need the most recent synchronized Gmail account on the phone to be verified. This is what we are gonna bypass.- Power off your Itel phone and reinsert the battery.
- Press the power button and immediately or before the phone vibrates, press and hold the volume up button until you get into the test-mode screen.
- Note: If the volume up and power combo launches the recovery menu instead of the factory testmode, redo the process but use the volume down button.
- If you get to the testmode screen, drag the drop down notification from the top and click on the settings icon.
- In the phone’s settings menu, scroll to backup and reset, then perform a factory reset.
- The phone will erase all of your user data and then turn on. You can now continue with the setup wizard and you will be able to skip the Gmail verification steps.
- Turn on your phone and tap on the *Home button* to launch Google Search.
- Type Settings and select the settings icon in the list.
- Go to Backup and Reset to perform a factory wipe.
- Reboot your device.

January 29, 2019 at 11:12 pmThanks for that wonderful lecture. Now, I have a serious issue with my itel 1516plus. How can I remove pattern lock in my itel 1516plus without deleting my data in my phone. Factory Reset seem to be the only way out. And there is no way I can use FR without affecting user data.
KriztekBlog says
January 30, 2019 at 5:13 amIts mostly impossible unless you have professional tools/experience. You should be able to read or clear just the pattern lock (sometimes) with China flashing boxes or you can install a custom recovery, access the pattern/lock file and then delete it. If you can get it done, you will be able to remove the lock without losing user data.
