Dr.Fone User Guide for Screen Unlock

Part 1: What is FRP Lock on Samsung Phones With Snapdragon Processor?

1.1 Understanding FRP Lock

FRP is designed to protect your device from theft by ensuring that only the original owner can access it after a reset. Once FRP is triggered, you must enter the previously used Google account credentials to proceed with setup.

1.2 Why Are Special Methods Needed for Snapdragon Devices?

Samsung devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets have unique security settings. Many standard FRP bypass methods don’t work on these models. That’s why specialized tools like Dr.Fone are necessary to effectively remove the FRP lock.

Part 2: What is the Samsung EDL Engineering Cable and How Does It Help in FRP Unlocking?

2.1 What is the Samsung EDL Engineering Cable?

The Samsung EDL Engineering Cable is a specialized tool used for connecting Samsung devices to a computer in Emergency Download Mode (EDL). This mode allows users to flash firmware, repair bricked devices, and, in this case, bypass the FRP lock on Samsung devices.

• EDL Mode is primarily used for Qualcomm-based devices. This mode gives you deeper access to your device’s firmware, which is required to bypass the FRP lock.
• The EDL cable essentially acts as a bridge between your Samsung phone and the PC, enabling the software to communicate with your device at a deeper level than what is available in normal recovery or bootloader modes.

2.2 How Does the Samsung EDL Engineering Cable Help in FRP Unlocking?

By connecting your device in EDL mode using the EDL engineering cable, Dr.Fone can directly communicate with the device’s firmware and bypass the FRP lock. This is particularly useful when:

• The traditional FRP bypass methods fail.
• Your device is stuck in a boot loop due to FRP lock.
• You need to flash new firmware onto your device without accessing the normal recovery menu.

This EDL cable is essential for Samsung Snapdragon devices, as it allows the software to initiate a bypass process for FRP unlocking, ensuring a seamless operation without risk of bricking the device.

Part 3: How to Remove FRP on Samsung Phones With Snapdragon Processor Using an EDL Cable?

The Qualcomm-based Samsung solution supports unlocking Samsung S23, S24, and other Qualcomm-based models without being limited by Android system settings. However, Samsung EDL engineering cables are required to complete the unlocking process.

First, purchase a Samsung EDL engineering cable from platforms such as Amazon or eBay.

This cable is essential for bypassing the FRP lock, so make sure to have it ready before starting the process.

Visit the official Dr.Fone website and download the software. Install the program on your computer. Launch the software and select Screen Unlock from the main menu.

* This feature is currently available only on Windows. Mac support is coming soon!

In Dr.Fone, select Android to continue the process.

Click on Remove Google FRP Lock.

Choose Samsung as your device brand, then click Start to begin the FRP bypass process.

For Samsung devices with Qualcomm chipsets, choose Qualcomm (Snapdragon) and click Start.

After preparing your EDL Engineering Cable, click OK, got it to proceed.

Dr.Fone will automatically begin downloading the necessary Android firmware for your device.

Once the download is complete, the software will verify the firmware before making it available for installation on your device.

Now, we need to put your Samsung phone into the correct mode to proceed with FRP removal.

• First, power off your Samsung phone. Plug the EDL cable into the computer, but do not connect your Samsung phone yet.
• Simultaneously press and hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, and EDL button without releasing, then insert the EDL engineering cable.
• Release the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, and repeat the following operation about 15 times: press the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons simultaneously, then quickly release them. (Please keep holding the EDL button throughout this process.)
• Once finished, release the EDL button.

After your device is in the correct mode, choose your device model from the list in Dr.Fone (e.g., Samsung S24 Ultra [SM-S928U]). Click Next to allow Dr.Fone to detect your device and apply the necessary FRP unlocking method.

Dr.Fone will now proceed with unlocking your device. Wait for the process to complete. This usually takes a few minutes.

Once done, restart your phone and proceed with the setup. No Google account verification will be required, meaning FRP has been successfully bypassed!
