SamFw FRP Tool V6.0.1 is the biggest version jump in the tool’s history and if you’re running V5.9 there are several good reasons to update immediately. Version 6.0 introduced Apple device support for the first time, making SamFw the first Samsung focused FRP tool to expand into iOS device diagnostics. V6.0.1 then adds 12 new firehose loaders, further optimizes Exynos FRP, and adds read IMEI2 and Security Patch Level to the MTP information panel. This guide covers everything in the V6.0 and V6.0.1 updates, the complete feature list, version history from V5.9 through V6.0.1, and full step by step instructions for FRP bypass on both Qualcomm and Exynos Samsung devices.

What’s New in SamFw Tool V6.0.1 – Full Changelog
V6.0.1 is the current latest release. Here’s every change across V6.0 and V6.0.1:
SamFw Tool V6.0
Samsung MTP Information now reads IMEI2 and Security Patch Level alongside the existing device info fields. This is a genuinely useful addition for repair shops that need to verify patch levels before deciding which FRP method to use. Previously you had to go into the device settings to find the patch date. Now the MTP read shows it directly in the tool dashboard.
Exynos FRP Unlock has been further optimized with additional bug fixes beyond what V5.9 addressed. Specific issues that were causing failures on certain Exynos models in V5.9 have been resolved.
Ten new EDL models added: SM-F711N bit E, SM-F721B bit C, SM-F926B bit I, SM-F956B bit 4, SM-G9980 bit G, SM-G998U bit J, SM-S901E bit E, SM-S911B bit A, SM-S916B bit A, SM-S918U bit 8, SM-S918W bit 8.
Apple support added for the first time in SamFw Tool history. Basic iPhone and iPad support covering read information in Normal mode, Recovery mode and DFU mode, plus reboot to Recovery mode and reboot to Normal mode. This is described as basic support and does not include FRP bypass or activation lock removal on Apple devices. It’s a diagnostic and reboot utility for Apple hardware that repair shops can now access from the same tool they use for Samsung.
SamFw Tool V6.0.1
Twelve new firehose loaders added. Firehose loaders are the Qualcomm EDL communication files that allow the tool to communicate with specific Samsung Qualcomm device variants in 9008 mode. Each loader addition expands EDL support to additional Samsung models and bit versions. The specific 12 loaders added in V6.0.1 expand coverage across several Samsung Galaxy S, A and Z series variants not covered in V6.0.
Exynos FRP further optimized beyond V6.0’s improvements. Each successive version since V5.5 has refined the Exynos unlock stability and V6.0.1 continues that progression.
Read IMEI2 confirmed in MTP Information panel. First introduced in V6.0 and confirmed stable in V6.0.1.
Security Patch Level now readable from MTP mode. Confirmed stable in V6.0.1.
Why V6.0.1 Matters – Three Things That Actually Changed
Most version updates are incremental. V6.0 and V6.0.1 together represent three genuinely meaningful changes worth understanding:
1. IMEI2 and Patch Level in MTP
Before V6.0 you needed to manually check the device settings for the security patch date before running FRP operations. Now SamFw reads both IMEI2 and Security Patch Level directly during the MTP information read. For repair shops this means one less step before deciding which bypass method applies to the device. The patch date confirms whether the free method applies or credits are needed without going into settings.
2. Apple Device Entry
SamFw adding Apple support even at a basic level signals the direction of the tool’s development. The current Apple functions are limited to read information and reboot operations but the infrastructure for expanded iOS support is now in the tool. For repair shops handling both Samsung and Apple devices this reduces the need to switch applications for basic iPhone diagnostics.
3. 12 New Firehose Loaders
Each firehose loader is specific to a Samsung Qualcomm model and bit version combination. Adding 12 in a single release is a meaningful expansion. If your specific Samsung Qualcomm model and bit version wasn’t working in EDL mode in V5.9 or V6.0, V6.0.1 may have added the loader it needs.

What You Need Before Starting
A Windows PC running Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11. Windows 10 or 11 strongly recommended. Note Windows 7 errors were specifically fixed in multiple previous versions showing the developer actively maintains compatibility.
Samsung USB drivers. Install from the Misc tab inside the tool or from our drivers page. Restart your PC after installation.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or above. V6.0.1 continues the automated checking from V5.8. Install from Microsoft’s official site if prompted on launch.
USB data cable that supports data transfer. Not a charging only cable.
SamFw account with credits for paid operations. Create free at samfw.com. Exynos FRP, Qualcomm Samsung with post-December 2022 patches and EDL operations require credits.

Device charged to at least 30%.
Antivirus temporarily disabled. The application uses several tools and scripts to unlock the device as well as an obfuscator to protect the source code so it may be mistakenly suspected of being a virus. This is a false positive. Leading antivirus software such as Kaspersky, Avast, Avira and AVG trust the application and mark it as safe.

Errors and Fixes
Device not detected after connecting
Install Samsung USB drivers from Misc tab. Restart PC. Use data cable not charging only. Run tool as administrator. Try USB 2.0 port instead of 3.0.
Security Patch Level showing blank in MTP information
This is a new field in V6.0. Some older Samsung models may not report this field through MTP. Try reading in ADB mode as an alternative. Ensure you’re on V6.0.1 not an older version.
IMEI2 not showing in MTP information
Dual SIM Samsung models show IMEI2. Single SIM models will show blank for IMEI2 which is normal behaviour. Confirm the device is dual SIM capable.
Exynos FRP still failing after updating to V6.0.1
Confirm Visual C++ is installed. Check that Samsung USB drivers are current. Ensure Wi-Fi is active on the locked Samsung device. If failures continue on a specific Exynos model note the model number and security patch date and check the SamFw Telegram channel at t.me/samfwcom for model-specific updates.
Apple device not detected
Confirm Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed on your PC. This comes with iTunes and is separate from Samsung USB drivers. Install iTunes from Apple’s official site if you haven’t already.
Firehose loader not found for your Samsung EDL model
V6.0.1 adds 12 new loaders but not all Samsung Qualcomm model and bit combinations are covered. Check the complete EDL model list on samfw.com. If your specific model isn’t listed it may be added in a future update.
FRP removal completes but verification screen still appears
Full cold restart. Hold power until completely off, 10 seconds, power on manually. Never auto-restart. Run Remove FRP a second time if screen persists after clean cold boot.
Credits deducted but operation failed
The auto-write log function saves the operation log automatically. Contact SamFw support through your account portal with the log file attached. Credits are typically refunded for server-verified failures.

FAQ
What is the biggest new feature in V6.0.1?
The combination of 12 new firehose loaders, stable IMEI2 and Security Patch Level reading in MTP, optimized Exynos FRP and the Apple device foundation from V6.0 makes this the most significant release since V5.5 which introduced Exynos support.
Does V6.0.1 add Apple FRP bypass?
No. The Apple support in V6.0 and V6.0.1 is basic diagnostic and reboot functionality only. It reads device information in Normal, Recovery and DFU modes and provides reboot options. Activation lock removal and iPhone FRP bypass are not included.
Is the Exynos FRP still paid in V6.0.1?
Yes. Exynos FRP removal requires paid credits in all versions including V6.0.1. The free tier still covers Samsung Qualcomm devices with patches before December 2022.
What are firehose loaders and why do 12 new ones matter?
Firehose loaders are the Qualcomm EDL communication files specific to individual Samsung model and bit version combinations. Without the correct loader for your device the tool can detect the device in EDL mode but cannot execute operations on it. Adding 12 new loaders means 12 more Samsung Qualcomm model variants can now be serviced through EDL in SamFw.
How do I verify my V6.0.1 download is genuine?
Run Get-FileHash SamFwToolSetup_v6.0.1.zip -Algorithm MD5 in PowerShell. The result should be 0874ba49a276c9a00ff9fba7e6046bc4. If it matches the file is the genuine official release.
Does V6.0.1 work on Samsung Android 16?
Yes. Android 16 FRP support was added in V5.0 and has been optimized through every subsequent version. V6.0 and V6.0.1 continue improving Android 16 Exynos handling specifically.
