Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem	Likely Cause	Solution
Device not detected / "No device found"	Missing or wrong USB drivers	Install the chipset-specific driver: MTK VCOM (MediaTek), Qualcomm 9008/9006 USB (Qualcomm), Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones (Samsung). Open Device Manager and look for yellow exclamation marks. Try a different USB port (USB 2.0 ports are more reliable for phone tools)
Software won't start / "License not found" / "Access denied"	Antivirus quarantined tool files or blocked execution	Add the tool folder to antivirus exclusions. Re-extract to a fresh folder. Right-click the .exe → Run as Administrator. Disable real-time antivirus temporarily during software launch
Credits deducted but operation failed	Phone disconnected during operation, wrong model selected, or device in wrong connection mode	Never unplug during an active operation. Verify the correct mode (BROM / EDL / Download). Re-check the exact device model. Contact Code-GSM support with your order ID and error log screenshot — credits may be refunded for confirmed technical failures
Operation completes but phone remains locked	Wrong bypass method selected for that Android/security patch version	Update the tool to the latest version — new Android security patches require updated bypass methods. Check the tool's official release notes for the latest supported Android version
FRP removed but phone asks Google account again after reboot	Only userdata FRP was cleared; dedicated FRP partition was not erased. Or Google sync re-enrolled FRP	Ensure the tool performs a full FRP partition erase, not just factory reset. Before testing the result, disconnect WiFi and disable Google account sync on the device
IMEI shows "null" or "baseband unknown" after IMEI repair	NVRAM or NV write did not complete, or wrong partition target	MTK: retry NVRAM write in BROM mode — both IMEI1 and IMEI2 must be written. Qualcomm: write NV items 550/551 via Diag mode (9006). If still null: flash the modem/baseband firmware partition
Phone stuck in bootloop after firmware flash	Wrong firmware for model or region, or Anti-Rollback (ARB) protection triggered	Verify firmware is the exact model code (e.g. SM-A546B vs SM-A546E). Check ARB index compatibility. Use EDL (Qualcomm) or BROM (MTK) emergency flash with confirmed-correct firmware to recover the device
"ADB device unauthorized" / ADB not recognized	USB Debugging disabled or not authorized on phone	Settings → Developer Options → enable USB Debugging. Connect phone → tap "Allow" on the authorization dialog on the phone screen. If Developer Options is not visible: Settings → About Phone → tap "Build Number" 7 times
Hardware dongle not detected (for dongle-based tools)	Dongle driver not installed, USB hub compatibility issue	Plug the dongle directly into a PC USB port (avoid USB hubs). Install the dongle driver from the included CD or official download. Check Device Manager for the dongle as a COM port or USB device

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are credits refunded if an operation fails?
A: Automatic refunds are not given for incorrect model selection or improper phone preparation. However, if the tool returned a technical error and the phone was correctly connected in the right mode, contact Code-GSM support with your order ID — refund requests are reviewed case by case.

Q: Does the tool support Android 14 / Android 15 FRP bypass?
A: Tool developers continuously update bypass methods. Always update to the latest software version before working on devices with recent security patches. Check the official tool release notes or changelog for the current Android version support status.

Q: What USB cable should I use?
A: Use the original manufacturer cable or a high-quality data cable. Cheap charge-only cables have no data lines and will prevent device detection. USB 2.0 cables are generally more compatible with phone service tools than USB 3.0 cables.

Q: How do I enter EDL mode (9008) on a Qualcomm phone?
A: Methods: (1) ADB command: adb reboot edl — requires ADB access; (2) Fastboot command: fastboot oem edl — requires unlocked bootloader on some brands; (3) Hardware test point — short the EDL pads on the PCB; (4) Some tools trigger EDL via the Diag (9006) port. The phone appears as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" in Windows Device Manager at COM port.

Q: How do I enter MTK BROM mode?
A: Power off the phone completely. Hold Volume Up, then connect the USB cable. Some MediaTek phones use Volume Down instead. The software detects the phone as "MediaTek USB Port" or "MT65xx" in Device Manager. If not detected, try a PCB test point to force BROM.

Q: Can I install the software on multiple computers?
A: Online account-based tools allow login from any PC but may limit simultaneous sessions. Hardware dongles work on any PC — the license is in the dongle, not tied to a specific computer. Check your specific tool's license agreement for details.

Q: How do I check my credit balance?
A: Log in to your account at code-gsm.com. Your credit balance is shown in the account dashboard. Credits do not expire as long as your account is active.

Q: The software detects the phone but the operation fails immediately. What is wrong?
A: Common causes: (1) Phone not in the correct mode (e.g., normal boot instead of BROM/EDL); (2) Wrong model or chipset selected; (3) Battery is too low (some operations require at least 20% charge); (4) USB cable quality. Re-check mode, model selection, and try a different cable.
