Redmi 12 5G (river) FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is a security feature by Google to protect your data in case of theft or unauthorized reset. Once a factory reset Redmi 12 5G (river) is done, you must log in with the previously synced Google or Mi Account. If you forget it, your phone gets locked — but you can unlock it legally on your own device using this tested FRP file and flashing process.
