Why does FRP lock error occur on Redmi Note 9

Android security automatically blocks access to the phone if it has been factory reset through the Recovery menu without first deleting the account. This is anti-theft protection: if the device is stolen and reset, an attacker will not be able to activate it without the password from the last one used Google account. On the model Redmi Note 9 this function works in conjunction with the MIUI shell.

Sometimes the error appears without a reset if the system cannot synchronize with Google servers due to network problems or outdated software. In such cases, the phone may endlessly ask you to enter data, even if you enter it correctly.
