Global Unlocker Pro 5.1.8.69 - Samsung FRP EDL Update
Global Unlocker Pro 5.1.8.69 Massive EDL FRP Expansion and Stability Updates
The Global Unlocker team has released version 5.1.8.69, delivering a highly anticipated update that significantly broadens the horizons for Samsung technicians. While the previous update (v5.1.8.61) teased support for Android 16, this latest version pivots back to strengthening the foundations of existing repair workflows by expanding EDL Mode FRP support for a massive array of older and mid-range Samsung models.
For GSM repair professionals, this update is not just about new features; it’s about reliability. By patching bugs and refining the Emergency Download (EDL) protocol for dozens of new "BIT" variants, Global Unlocker Pro cements its status as a versatile multi-brand tool.
What’s New in Version 5.1.8.69?
The headline feature of this release is the aggressive expansion of the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) bypass in EDL Mode. This is critical for technicians dealing with devices where ADB communication is impossible due to software corruption or "Unauthorized Factory Reset" locks.
In v5.1.8.69, the development team has added support for approximately 50+ new Samsung model variants. This includes a heavy focus on the A-series (A11x, A23x, A05x), the M-series, and specific high-end S-series and Z-series folds/flip variants.
Here is a quick comparison with the previous minor release:
| Feature | Version 5.1.8.61 | Version 5.1.8.69 |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Android 16 Bypass | EDL Mode FRP Expansion |
| Samsung Models | Generic “All” support | Specific BIT variants added (e.g., SM-A115F BIT-All, SM-G990B BIT-G) |
| Bug Fixes | General fixes | Targeted stability fixes for newly added models |
| Tablet Support | Minor improvements | Significant additions (Tab T5xx, T7xx, X-series) |
| EDL FRP Coverage | Limited | Expanded (50+ new Samsung variants) |
| Overall Stability | Standard | Improved reliability for GSM repair workflows |
| Best For | Early Android 16 testing | Professional Samsung FRP/EDL servicing |

Key Features & Capabilities
Global Unlocker Pro is not just a Samsung tool; it is a comprehensive suite. Based on the cumulative changelogs from v5.0.0.0 to the current v5.1.8.69, here are the core pillars of the software:
- Samsung Master Suite:
- EDL FRP: Bypass Google Account via Qualcomm 9008 mode (Newly expanded in v5.1.8.69).
- Direct Unlock: Support for Exynos and Qualcomm devices without losing data (where applicable).
- Read Codes: Generate NCK/MCK codes via server or local algorithms.
- Relock: Re-lock carrier devices to warranty status (Available for S21, S22, Fold series, and more).
- Motorola Solutions: Direct Unlock for the latest 2023, 2024, and 2025 models including Razr 40/50, Edge series, and Moto G Power 5G.
- Google Pixel Support: Direct Unlock and Repair for Pixel devices (improved in v5.0.8.14).

Practical Scenario: Bypassing FRP on a Samsung Galaxy A15
The Problem:
A client brings in a Samsung Galaxy A15 (SM-A155F) that is stuck on the "Verify your account" screen. The customer has forgotten their Google credentials, and standard ADB FRP methods are failing because USB Debugging was not enabled prior to the reset.
The Solution (Using v5.1.8.69):
- Preparation: Put the device into EDL (Emergency Download) Mode. This is usually done by accessing the test point on the motherboard or using a specific key combination (Vol Up + Vol Down while inserting USB).
- Connection: Connect the phone to the PC via a USB cable. The Global Unlocker Pro interface (introduced in v5.0.0.0) will automatically detect the device in QCOM EDL mode.
- Selection: Select the model (SM-A155F). While this specific model is a hypothetical example, the v5.1.8.69 update added extensive BIT support for the SM-A115, SM-A235, and SM-A057 families, making this workflow identical for those supported devices.
- Execution: Click the "FRP" button within the Samsung EDL tab.
- Result: The tool communicates with the device's bootloader, patches the necessary partition, and removes the Google Lock. The phone reboots, allowing the technician to set up the device as new.
