I got this RCA Reno it’s sluggish but in excellent condition, so I’m wondering if I could do any hacking to it to make it more smoothly operable.

    So now I’m looking at that kind of parasitic situation with this FRP bypass lock. It’s almost as if the manufacturer wants phones to be thrown in the garbage so users are forced to buy from them rather than aftermarket. Noooooo. /s

    It’s a theft deterrent, so it would be kind of pointless if there was an intentional way to disable it other than to log in with the owner’s account. The people providing the tools to bypass FRP want their cut of the stolen goods, that’s all.

    I’m not saying that your specific phone is stolen (although if you got it in this state… yeah, it most likely is, FRP triggers when you do a factory reset from the recovery instead of going through settings), but you have to understand that what you want is exactly what a thief would want, and the proce of the tools reflects that.
