What is FRP Lock?
Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a critical security feature on the Samsung A23 running Android 14. While it protects your data, it can become a headache if you forget your Google credentials after a factory reset. The SM-A235M with Binary 9 and the October 2024 patch has high security, making standard bypass methods ineffective.
Technical Insight: Because this device uses a Qualcomm CPU, TSM Tool Pro utilizes EDL Mode (Emergency Download Mode) to communicate directly with the processor and remove the lock safely.
Why Remove FRP Locks?
- Stuck on Welcome Screen: You cannot proceed past the Wi-Fi setup without the old email.
- Refurbishing Devices: Essential for technicians preparing used phones for resale.
- Lost Access: Corporate devices where the employee left without signing out.

“I received three Samsung A235M units with Binary 9. Test point was tricky, but TSM Tool Pro connected instantly in EDL mode. Unlocked all three in under 5 minutes. The new Qualcomm loader is very stable!”
Step-by-Step: Remove FRP via EDL
TSM Tool Advantage: 1-Click Solution via EDL Mode requires no risky flashing files.
- 1Prepare the Device: Power off the Samsung A23 completely. You will need to open the back cover to access the Test Points (EDL Points).
- 2Open TSM Tool Pro: Login and navigate to the Samsung or Qualcomm tab.
- 3Select Model: Search for SM-A235M or select the generic Samsung Qualcomm loader. Choose function: “Remove FRP”.
- 4Connect in EDL Mode: Short the two Test Points with tweezers and simultaneously plug in the USB cable. The device manager should show “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008”.
- 5Execute: Click “Start”. The tool will detect the port, initialize the loader, and remove the FRP partition lock block. Wait for the “Operation Success” message.
Safety Tips & Precautions
- Battery Level: Ensure at least 30% battery to prevent shutdown during the handshake.
- Drivers: Install the latest Qualcomm USB Drivers (QDLoader 9008).
- Handling: Be gentle when opening the back cover to avoid damaging the fingerprint flex cable.
Credit Score Optimization Tips
EDL operations often consume TSM Credits. To optimize your costs:
- Check Rates: Look at the TSM Dashboard for current credit consumption for Samsung EDL tasks.
- Stable Connection: Ensure your internet is stable; disconnection during server authentication might waste credits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I unlock SM-A235M without opening the phone?
Likely not. With Android 14 and Binary 9 (Oct 2024 patch), the *#0*# method (MTP mode) is usually patched. EDL mode (Test Point) is currently the only supported and stable method for this security level.
Where are the Test Points for A23?
The test points are located near the battery connector on the motherboard. You can find the exact image diagram within the TSM Tool Pro “Test Points” library.
Will this erase user data?
FRP removal only resets the Google protection. However, since the device was likely already factory reset to trigger the lock, the data is already gone.
What if the driver shows “QHSUSB_BULK”?
This means your drivers are missing. Please install the official Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 drivers and restart your PC.
Is TSM Tool Pro safe for the phone’s IMEI?
Yes, the “Remove FRP” function in EDL mode is designed to target only the persistent partition responsible for the lock, leaving radio (IMEI) data untouched.
