Octoplus FRP Tool v2.9.6 Update New Honor MDM & Samsung FRP Support
The team behind Octoplus FRP Tool has released version 2.9.6, bringing a massive wave of updates that mobile technicians have been eagerly anticipating. This latest update doesn't just patch minor bugs; it significantly expands the tool's capabilities, specifically targeting the newer security protocols found in recent Huawei, Honor, and Samsung smartphones.
For technicians dealing with Mobile Device Management (MDM) locks or the latest Samsung "Bit" security levels, this release is a game-changer. Below, we break down the new features, updated device lists, and what this means for your daily unlocking workflow.
Key Features in Octoplus FRP Tool v2.9.6
The v2.9.6 update focuses heavily on diversity—covering a wide range of chipsets from MediaTek to Qualcomm. The standout feature is undoubtedly the new MDM reset operation, but the expanded Samsung support via EDL (Emergency Download) mode is equally critical for modern servicing.
New MDM Reset for Honor & Huawei
One of the most requested features in the GSM community is finally here. Octoplus FRP Tool now supports Reset MDM operations for Honor and Huawei devices.
- Connectivity: This operation works seamlessly via both MTK and Qualcomm EDL ports.
- Utility: This allows technicians to bypass corporate locks on devices without needing complex manual auth files, saving valuable time.
Expanded Samsung FRP Support (Qualcomm EDL)
Samsung devices running on Qualcomm chipsets have become increasingly difficult to bypass due to higher security restrictions. This update introduces FRP resets for a slew of popular models via Qualcomm 9008 Mode (EDL).
New Models Added:
- Galaxy S20 FE 5G series (SM-G781N, SM-G781V, SM-G781W)
- Galaxy S21 FE 5G (SM-G990U2)
- Galaxy Tab S7 FE LTE (SM-T735)
- Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro variants (SM-T636B, SM-T638U)
- Galaxy Z Flip and Fold 2 variants
- Galaxy M23 5G (SM-M236B)
Samsung FRP via Test Point (MediaTek)
For devices equipped with MediaTek processors, Octoplus has added support for FRP resets using the Test Point method. This includes budget-friendly A-series and M-series phones, as well as the latest tablets.
Notable Additions:
- Galaxy A17 4G (SM-A175F)
- Galaxy Tab A9 Plus and A9 series (SM-X116, SM-X117, etc.)
- Galaxy F07 and M07 series

Beyond the Samsung and Huawei ecosystems, Octoplus v2.9.6 improves versatility with support for other popular brands. Thanks to community contributors (shoutout to Mr. Xaker2012 and Mr. TwoiPredator), the following devices are now supported:
- Facetel: Q3 Pro
- INOI: A83 (A181 Plus)
- Motorola: Moto G06 (XT2535-2)
- Tecno: Spark Go 1 (KL4)

Performance Improvements
The update also includes behind-the-scenes optimizations, specifically improving the Reset FRP function for Samsung devices running the very latest firmware (noted as Android 16 compatibility in the changelog), ensuring the tool remains future-proof as new security patches roll out.
Version Comparison: What’s Changed?
While previous versions of Octoplus FRP Tool were robust, v2.9.6 addresses specific gaps in MDM and high-security Samsung FRP removal.
| Feature | Previous Release (v2.9.5) | Current Release (v2.9.6) |
|---|---|---|
| Huawei / Honor MDM | Limited or manual methods only | Added automatic Reset MDM via MTK / Qualcomm EDL |
| Samsung Qualcomm (EDL Mode) | Support for older Bit levels (A, B, C) | Expanded to newer Bit levels (D, I, L, 8, 9) including Galaxy S20 FE and Tab S7 FE |
| Samsung MediaTek | Basic model support | Added support for Galaxy A17, Tab A9, and M07 series |
| Other Brands | Standard legacy support | Added 2023–2024 models like Tecno Spark Go 1 and Oukitel C35 |
Why This Update Matters for Technicians
From an expert perspective, the inclusion of Honor/Huawei MDM reset via EDL is the highlight of this release. MDM locks are notoriously difficult to remove, often requiring expensive server credits. By integrating this directly into the software, Octoplus is lowering the cost of repair for shops and end-users.
Furthermore, the addition of the Galaxy Tab A9 series is crucial. Tablets are increasingly used in education and enterprise, making FRP locks a common issue for refurbishers. Having a direct Test Point or EDL solution ensures these devices can be quickly turned around for resale.
