Astro 10r is the successor to Maxwest Astro 8r Android 11 Tablet. The successor comes with Android 12 out of the box.
On the Maxwest Tablet, Google account verification is required when you hard reset the device using Android recovery.
We usually reset the device when stuck on the lock screen due to a forgotten Password, PIN, or Pattern. After the reset, you cannot reach the Maxwest home screen until you verify with lock screen credentials or the previously synced Google account.
Let’s use the latest September 2023 hack to bypass the Google FRP lock on Maxwest Astro 10r Android 12 Tablet without a PC as follows –
I was locked out due to the forgotten password on my Maxwest Astor 10r Tab. To bypass the lock screen, I did a factory reset using Android Recovery.
After the reset, we are on the “Hi There” screen of the setup wizard.
To reach the home screen we need to complete the device setup. Let’s click the “START” button to move ahead.
Then connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
After connecting to the internet, it takes a few minutes to reach the “Copy apps & data” screen.
Click on “Don’t copy”.
The next page is “Verify Password”. To proceed further, you either need the lock screen Password/PIN/ Pattern or the previously synced Google account.
I do not remember either of the two.
Let’s use the latest September 2023 trick to bypass the Google account verification on Maxwest Astro 10R Android 12 Tablet without a PC –
How to bypass Google account verification/FRP lock on Maxwest Astro 10R Android 12 Tablet without PC September 2023
To bypass the Google lock, move back from the Google verification screen to the “START” page.
We are on the first page of the setup wizard.
Now, click on “Vision Settings” then “Talkback”.
Hit the “Use Talkback” button to turn on Talkback.
Then draw a backward L on the screen. Swipe right then up.
A permission request shows up on the screen. Double-tap “WHILE USING THIS APP”.
Another window appears – “Use voice commands to control Talkback”.
We are going to launch the Google Assistant app with the voice command.
Double-click “Use voice commands” and say Google Assistant.
This voice command launches the Assistant app.
Now, double-click the keyboard icon at the bottom. This brings up the search box.
At this point, we can disable Talkback.
Press and hold both volume buttons for 3 seconds. This will enable the Talkback shortcut.
Again hold the volume keys until Talkback is turned off.
Now, type Open YouTube in the search box. Pick the search result with the “YouTube icon”.
This will take you to the YouTube app.
Now, click the “user profile icon” in the top-right corner.
Then click on “Settings” > “About”.
Next, you need to click on “YouTube Terms of Service”.
It launches the Chrome app. Do the Chrome setup.
In the web browser search bar enter the term addrom bypass.
Select the first search result to reach the addrom website.
Now, look for “Screen Smartlock” and click on it.
We get 3 options on the next page – “Pattern, PIN, & Password”.
You can choose either of the 3. Let’s try to set up a new PIN code.
Enter an easy PIN such as 1234.
Re-enter the PIN and hit CONFIRM.
The app crashed. Click on “Close app”.
Again go back and select “Screen Smartlock”.
Try to add the same PIN.
You need to keep trying until you see the above screen that says – “Keep your device unlocked while it’s on you”.
This confirms that the screen lock has been changed.
Now, click on “YES I’M IN”.
Now, let’s use this new PIN to bypass the Google account.
Use the back key to reach the “START” screen.
We are again on the first page of the setup wizard. Click “START” to move ahead.
Hit “Don’t copy” on the “Copy apps & data” page.
The next screen is “Verify PIN”.
We changed the screen lock password with this new PIN code.
Enter the PIN we set up earlier i.e. 1234
We successfully bypassed the Google account verification.
Use the skip option to bypass the Google account sign-in.
Now, accept the Google services terms and conditions.
Skip the screen lock and face unlock setup.
Follow the on-screen prompts and keep moving ahead.
We successfully landed on the Maxwest Astro 10r home screen thus bypassing the Google account verification.
