Samsung FRP Bypass for Galaxy S24, S25 & S26 — 2026 Guide

Factory Reset Protection was added in Android 5.1 (2015) as a theft deterrent. Whenever a Google account is added to an Android device, its identifier is stored in a hardware-protected region called the RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block). A subsequent factory reset does not clear this identifier — meaning after the reset, the device demands re-authentication of the last Google account before it will proceed.

The problem: legitimate owners forget passwords, buy used devices, or inherit phones from relatives. In all those cases, FRP turns a perfectly good Galaxy into a paperweight — until you bypass it.

Before any bypass tool, spend 10 minutes attempting Google account recovery at google.com/accountrecovery. Google's recovery flow has improved dramatically in 2025–2026 and now accepts:

• Any old device previously signed in to the same account
• Physical security keys (Yubikey, Google Titan)
• Backup codes stored in Google Authenticator
• A phone number that was ever verified on the account

Since April 2025, Samsung offers a Remote Unlock service directly through the Samsung Members app on a friend's device. You'll need your Samsung account credentials (not the Google account) and the device's IMEI. Samsung remotely disables FRP within 24 hours if the device is registered to your Samsung account and shows no theft reports.

This is the cleanest route because the device becomes fully unlocked with warranty intact. The catch: it only works if you originally registered the phone with Samsung — many users skip that step during initial setup.

When recovery and Remote Unlock aren't options, Dr.Unlock includes an FRP bypass module updated monthly to match Samsung's latest security patches. On June 2026's patch level, it works on:

• Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FE
• Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge
• Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra (launched February 2026)
• Galaxy Z Fold 6, Fold 7, Flip 6, Flip 7
• Galaxy A54, A55, A56 mid-range

The exact flow varies slightly by model, but here is the S25 Ultra (SM-S928U) procedure — representative of the current generation:

• Install Dr.Unlock on a Windows 10/11 PC (macOS supported for S24 and older).
• Boot the S25 Ultra to the FRP lock screen (the 'Verify your account' screen).
• Connect the phone via USB-C cable using the original Samsung cable if possible.
• In Dr.Unlock, select 'Screen Unlock' → 'Android' → 'Remove Google FRP Lock'.
• Choose your device model from the list — pick the exact carrier variant.
• Follow prompts to put the device into Download/Odin mode (Volume Down + Volume Up + hold Power).
• The tool flashes a temporary bypass patch — the phone reboots into a standard Android setup with FRP disabled.
• Complete setup without adding any Google account, then add your own Google account normally.

These three methods dominated FRP tutorials from 2018–2023 and are still recommended by outdated YouTube videos. In 2026, none of them work on modern Samsung devices:

TalkBack accessibility exploit was patched in the March 2024 security update. ADB debugging cannot be enabled before FRP unlock on Android 14+. Combination firmware files are no longer released by Samsung for consumer models — only their internal repair partners have access. Any website offering these files for the S24 or newer is running a scam.

The best defense is a small amount of setup discipline. When you first configure your Samsung device:

• Register the phone with both a Samsung account AND a Google account.
• Enable Samsung Remote Unlock in Settings → Security → Find My Mobile.
• Add a recovery email and recovery phone to your Google account.
• Store backup codes for Google 2FA in a password manager, not on the phone itself.
• If you plan to sell the phone, remove the Google account BEFORE performing a factory reset — not after.

Dr.Unlock verifies every IMEI against the GSMA Device Registry before running an FRP bypass. If the device appears on a theft blacklist, we refuse the operation and refund the customer. This isn't just policy — it protects the resale market and reduces demand for stolen devices. If you bought a phone at a suspiciously low price, run its IMEI through our free checker at drunlock.io/imei-unlock/checker before spending money on any unlock service.
