How to Bypass FRP with a PC in 2025: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re looking at a “Verify your account” screen on an Android phone you just reset, you know how frustrating it is. You’ve likely followed video guides only to discover the methods are obsolete for Android 14, or wrestled with a PC that refuses to recognize your phone because of a driver issue. We get it.

This guide is different because it’s based on what we do at our workbench every day. We’ll show you the reliable, PC-based procedure to bypass FRP, which is the most effective solution for modern devices. To remove a Google account lock with a computer, you need specific, tested steps, not vague advice. That’s what we provide here.

Success Matrix: What Works on Android 14 (Updated 2025)

To give you a clear picture of what to expect, this table summarizes our hands-on test results. We verified these methods in our lab on devices with the latest security patches. This transparency helps you choose the right path from the start.

Device Model Tested	Chipset	Android Version	Verified Working Method	Notes & Difficulty
Samsung Galaxy A14	Exynos	14	Test Mode (*#0*#) + PC Tool	Reliable. Requires the phone to boot to the Emergency Call screen. Low difficulty.
Motorola Moto G (XT22)	Qualcomm	14	EDL Mode (9008) + PC Tool	Tricky to enter EDL mode without the right timing. Once connected, the bypass is fast.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 12	MediaTek	13	BROM Mode + PC Tool	Straightforward. The button combination is consistent. Requires specific MTK drivers.

The ADB Fallacy: Why So Many Online Guides Fail

Many tutorials tell you to start by running ADB (Android Debug Bridge) commands. For a device locked by FRP, this advice is fundamentally flawed and causes most of the confusion online.

For your PC to send ADB commands, it needs permission from the phone. This permission prompt only appears if “USB Debugging” is enabled in the phone’s developer settings. When your phone is FRP-locked, you cannot get to those settings to turn it on. As a result, your computer sees the device as “unauthorized,” and every ADB command fails.

The real solution—what a professional FRP bypass tool for PC actually does—is to force the device into a special, low-level service mode. These modes operate beneath the Android system and don’t need USB Debugging.

• For Samsung: This is Download Mode or a special Test Mode.
• For Qualcomm Chipsets (Xiaomi, Motorola, etc.): This is EDL Mode (Port 9008).
• For MediaTek Chipsets (Oppo, some Motorola, etc.): This is BROM or Preloader Mode.

A Windows utility communicates with the phone through these modes to access system files and remove the lock.

Step 1: Install the Correct USB Drivers (Do This First)

Before you connect your phone, installing the right drivers is the most critical step. An incorrect driver is why most connection attempts fail. Don’t let Windows search for them automatically; install them manually from these official sources.

• For Samsung Devices: Download the Samsung Mobile USB Driver directly from Samsung’s developer portal.
• For Qualcomm Devices: You need the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Driver. Search for your chipset series if a direct link isn’t available.
• For MediaTek (MTK) Devices: An all-in-one package like the MediaTek USB VCOM Driver is usually the best option.

Install the appropriate driver package for your phone’s brand before proceeding to the next steps.

Step 2: Choose Your PC-Based FRP Bypass Method

With drivers installed, you can now choose your approach. This table breaks down the options honestly, helping you decide based on your technical skill and risk tolerance.

Feature	Manual Methods (Odin/Fastboot)	Free / ‘Cracked’ Tools	Professional FRP Tools
Success on Android 14	Low. Often fails on new security patches.	Very Low. Most are outdated and do not support new devices.	High. Regularly updated for the latest security patches.
Time Investment	High. Requires finding correct files and commands.	Moderate to High. Involves trial-and-error with many tools.	Low. The process is automated and typically takes minutes.
Technical Skill	Advanced. A wrong file (e.g., combination file) can brick the device.	Intermediate. Requires following often unclear instructions.	Beginner-friendly. Features a guided, user-friendly interface.
Malware Risk	Moderate. Files from unverified forums can be risky.	Very High. Often bundled with viruses, spyware, or ransomware.	Low, when downloaded from the official developer website.

For a dependable Android 14 FRP bypass PC solution, a dedicated professional tool is the most direct and safe method.

Step 3: Brand-Specific Procedures for Device Connection

Here are the precise, workbench-tested instructions for the devices listed in our matrix.

Method 1: Samsung Devices (Download & Test Mode)

Modern Samsung phones use two modes. Professional Samsung FRP tools for Windows often automate switching between them.

1. Boot to the “Welcome” Screen: Power on the phone normally until you see the first setup screen.
2. Activate Test Mode: Tap on “Emergency Call.” On the dial pad, enter the code *#0*#. The screen will change to a diagnostic display with several buttons. This special mode opens a specific communication port that PC tools can access, which is different from the standard “USB Debugging” that is disabled.
3. Connect and Run the Tool: Connect the phone to your PC. Launch your FRP software. It will detect the device in Test Mode and send the command to remove the lock. You may see a brief “Allow USB Debugging” pop-up on the phone—if so, allow it.

Method 2: Qualcomm Devices (EDL/9008 Mode)

Devices with Qualcomm chips (like many Motorola and Xiaomi models) use Emergency Download (EDL) mode. Getting into this mode is often the trickiest part.

1. Enter EDL Mode (Motorola Moto G Example):
   • Power the device off completely.
   • Press and hold the Volume Down button.
   • While still holding Volume Down, connect the phone to your PC with a high-quality USB data cable.
   • The screen will remain black, which is normal. Your PC should make a sound indicating a new device was connected.
2. Verify Connection: Open Windows Device Manager. Under “Ports (COM & LPT),” you should see “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.” If you see this, you are successfully in EDL mode.
3. Run the Bypass Tool: Open your FRP software. It will detect the “9008” port and perform the bypass. Some tools, like Droidkit, UnlockGo, can sometimes reboot the device into EDL mode from other modes, which simplifies this difficult step.

Method 3: MediaTek Devices (BROM Mode)

MediaTek (MTK) chipsets use a mode called BROM for these low-level operations.

1. Prepare the Tool: Open your FRP removal software and select the MediaTek or “MTK Bypass” function. The tool will likely say “Waiting for device…”
2. Connect in BROM Mode (Xiaomi Redmi Note Example):
   • Power off the phone completely.
   • Press and hold both the Volume Up + Volume Down buttons.
   • While holding both buttons, connect the phone to your PC.
3. Let the Tool Work: The software will immediately detect the device and start the bypass process. You can release the buttons once the progress bar begins to move.

Troubleshooting: When Your PC Won’t Detect the Phone

If the software can’t see your phone, the issue is almost always the cable or the drivers. Follow this checklist.

1. Check Your Hardware:
   • The Cable Matters: Use the phone’s original USB cable. Cheap charging-only cables lack the necessary data wires and will not work. We’ve learned this the hard way at the workbench.
   • Use a Direct Port: Connect directly to a USB port on your computer’s motherboard (the rear ports on a desktop), not a front-panel port or a USB hub.
2. Verify in Windows Device Manager: This is your source of truth. Open Device Manager and connect your phone in the correct mode (EDL, Download, etc.).
   • Correct: You should see a clearly named device like “SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem” or “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.”
   • Incorrect: A yellow exclamation mark next to a name like “QHSUSB_BULK” or “Unknown Device” means the driver is wrong or missing. Right-click it, select “Update driver,” and manually point it to the driver files you downloaded in Step 1. For more advanced driver issues, you might find solutions in guides on how to fix Android boot loops, as driver installation is a common theme.

Safety Checklist: How to Avoid Malware in an FRP Tool

The web is full of “free” tools that contain malware. Protect your computer by following these rules.

• Use Official Websites: Only download tools from the developer’s official site. Avoid links from video descriptions or third-party download portals.
• Check Real User Feedback: Look for reviews of the tool on reputable tech forums like XDA-Developers. Real technicians quickly spot and expose fake software.
• Scan Before You Run: Upload the downloaded file to an online scanner like VirusTotal. It checks the file with dozens of antivirus engines.
• Never Disable Your Antivirus: This is the biggest red flag. If a tool requires you to turn off your security software, it is almost certainly malicious. Stop immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are direct answers to the most common questions we hear.

Do I need to enable USB debugging for this to work?

No. It’s impossible to enable USB debugging on an FRP-locked phone. The methods in this guide use special boot modes like Download Mode or EDL/9008, which are designed for service access and do not require that setting.

Can I really bypass FRP on Android 14 with a PC?

Yes. While simple on-device workarounds are blocked by modern security, professional tools for an Android 14 FRP bypass PC process are constantly updated. They succeed by using the stable, low-level connection modes we’ve described.

My phone isn’t detected by the software—what do I do?

Go back to the troubleshooting section. The cause is 99% a bad cable or incorrect drivers. Use an original data cable, a direct USB port, and manually install the specific driver for your phone’s chipset (Samsung, Qualcomm, or MTK). Then, confirm it appears correctly in Windows Device Manager.

Will this erase my data?

Yes, you should assume all data will be erased. The FRP lock itself is triggered by a factory reset, and the bypass process concludes with another wipe to return the phone to its initial setup state. To avoid this situation in the future, it’s good practice to have a reliable backup plan.

How do I know if an FRP tool is fake?

Follow the safety checklist. The biggest indicators of a fake tool are requiring you to disable antivirus software, being distributed through unofficial download links, and having no professional website or user reviews on trusted forums.

Why do YouTube guides from a few months ago not work?

Google and phone manufacturers issue monthly security patches that specifically close the loopholes used by older bypass methods. That’s why this guide focuses on the underlying method (connecting via low-level hardware modes), which is far more stable and continues to work across security updates.

Regain Access to Your Device the Right Way

Dealing with a locked phone is frustrating, especially with so much outdated and risky information online. The solution is to ignore the failed on-device methods and confusing ADB commands. By focusing on the correct, brand-specific service mode for your device—whether it’s Test Mode for Samsung, EDL for Qualcomm, or BROM for MediaTek—you establish a reliable connection that allows for a successful bypass.

Correctly installing the USB drivers and using a high-quality data cable are the foundational steps that make everything else possible. A dedicated tool can then automate the most difficult parts of this process, ensuring you can regain full control of your phone safely and quickly.
