Samsung XCover 4 | FRP Bypass Guide

This comprehensive guide provides detailed instructions on how to bypass Factory Reset Protection (FRP) on the Samsung Xcover 4 device. It presents two methods: one developed by wuseman and another by hardinfo. It's important to note that the wuseman method is included here for personal reference purposes, and if you encounter any difficulties, it is strongly recommended to follow hardinfo's method for reliable support.

To bypass FRP using wuseman's method, follow these steps:

Here's an improved version of the text for your README:

  1. Power off the device.
  2. Perform a factory data reset by simultaneously pressing the volume up, home, and power buttons.
  3. Once the device boots up, make an emergency call from the lower left corner of the screen.
  4. Immediately hang up, as you only need a recently dialed number for later use.
  5. Proceed to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
  6. Tap on another Wi-Fi network to bring up the keyboard.
  7. Tap on the Settings icon on your Xcover 4.
  8. Navigate to "Swipe, touch, and feedback" in the settings menu.

  17. Tap on the sent text message to be redirected to YouTube.
  18. Tap on the account icon in the upper right corner, and then tap on "Help & feedback" to open the Google Chrome browser.
  19. Once Google Chrome is open, search for "apex launcher apk" on Google and download Apex Launcher.
  20. Allow permissions to install applications from either Google Chrome or Samsung Internet browser.
  21. Open Apex Launcher, go to Settings, and navigate to Security.
  22. Disable "Find My Device" under "Other security settings" in the Security tab.

  26. After adding your account, enable Google Play services again.
  27. Return to Accounts to confirm that your account has been added. The icon will now be the default Google icon.
