FRP Bypass OnePlus Nord 2: How to Remove the Google Lock and Use your Phone Again

7-8 minutes

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G has a Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock that can block you out after a factory reset if the original Google account credentials aren't available. Whether you bought the phone second-hand, forgot your password, or received it as a gift without the previous owner signing out, this guide covers what you can do on the Nord 2 specifically, and how FRPRemoval can help when the standard options fall short.

Why is the OnePlus Nord 2 Different When it Comes to FRP?

The Nord 2 launched in July 2021 with OxygenOS 11.3 and has received updates up to OxygenOS 13 (Android 13). How difficult the FRP lock is to deal with depends on which version your device is running, because each update patches older workarounds.

The other big thing to know is that the Nord 2 uses a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip, not Qualcomm. A lot of the PC-based flashing tools you'll find online (like the MSM Download Tool) are built for Qualcomm devices and simply won't recognize the Nord 2. If you were thinking about firmware flashing, your options are pretty limited on this specific phone, and using the wrong tool can brick it.

Have you Forgotten your Google Password? Try This First

If you're the original owner and the email is the same one you use for Gmail, you might not need any bypass at all. Go to Google's account recovery page from another device and reset your password using your recovery phone number or backup email.

There's a catch though. After changing your Google password, you'll need to wait 24 to 72 hours before the new password works on the FRP screen. This is Google's sync period, and it applies to every Android device. If you try the new password too early, Google can temporarily lock down your entire account, which makes things worse.

If the recovery process didn't work (you don't have access to the backup email or phone number), you can also try contacting OnePlus support with your proof of purchase and IMEI number. They can verify ownership and help remove the lock, though it can take days to weeks. For second-hand purchases, you can ask the previous owner to remove their account remotely through Google's device activity page.

If none of those options are working for you, that's exactly the kind of situation FRPRemoval was designed for.

How Does FRPRemoval Work on the OnePlus Nord 2?

The process is entirely online and doesn't require any technical knowledge. Here's what it looks like:

1. Go to FRPRemoval: Visit frpremoval.com from any device and tap "Get Started."
2. Select OnePlus and the Nord 2: Pick OnePlus from the brand list and choose the Nord 2 as your model.
3. Enter your details: Fill in your name, email, and the IMEI number of the locked Nord 2.
4. Submit your request: Complete the small service fee. The system begins processing the unlock remotely.
5. Receive your Dummy ID: You'll get temporary login credentials by email that work as a stand-in for the original Google account.
6. Enter the credentials on your Nord 2: Type the Dummy ID on the FRP verification screen. The lock clears, and you continue with the phone setup.

It works regardless of which OxygenOS version your Nord 2 is running, and it doesn't matter which carrier or region the device is from.

What if it Shows an Error or the Dummy ID Doesn't Work?

Sometimes the FRP screen will show an error message or say you've tried too many times. If that happens, a simple trick is to hard reset the phone through recovery mode and make a fresh attempt. This won't delete the FRP lock itself, but it resets the attempt counter so you can try the Dummy ID again.

If you're still running into issues after that, our support team can help you troubleshoot. Every situation is a little different depending on the OxygenOS version and security patch level, and we've seen enough Nord 2 cases to know what works for each one.

What Should you Do After the FRP Lock is Removed?

Once the lock is cleared, your Nord 2 will continue through the normal setup. We'd recommend setting up a new Google account right away, since the Dummy ID is temporary and you'll need a real account for the Google Play Store, Gmail, and other services.

After that, take a minute to set up recovery methods on your new account. Go to Google's recovery page and add a backup phone number and email. That way, if you ever forget the password in the future, you can recover it without going through this whole process again.
