Unlocktool202501200 Released Update May 2026

The biggest headline is the native support for Samsung’s latest bootloader version. Previous versions struggled with the new Knox Guard updates.

The latest UnlockTool update (2025.01.20) introduces expanded device support, improved stability for FRP (Factory Reset Protection) bypass, and several backend optimizations for faster flashing and unlocking procedures.

1. Expanded Qualcomm Support The standout feature of this update is the addition of support for several new Qualcomm-powered devices. The new version introduces improved protocols for EDL (Emergency Download) mode, allowing users to perform flash operations and remove FRP (Factory Reset Protection) on newer chipset architectures. Technicians can now service recent devices from brands like Xiaomi and OPPO with greater speed.

2. MediaTek (MTK) Improvements UnlockTool continues to refine its MediaTek module. The update includes a revamped "Meta Mode" driver interface, promising a higher success rate for IMEI repair and unlocking operations on MTK devices. Users reporting connection timeouts on older Windows builds should see significant improvements in stability.

3. Samsung Auto-Patch Updates Samsung devices remain a staple of the repair industry. The 20250120.0 update refreshes the "Auto-Patch" binaries, enabling users to bypass security locks on the latest Android security patch levels without the need for downgrading firmware, which reduces the risk of hard bricking devices.

4. Bug Fixes and UI Tweaks Addressing community feedback, the developers have fixed a lag issue that occurred during the "Read Info" operation on specific Vivo models. Additionally, the user interface has received minor visual updates to improve navigation and tool readability.

Xiaomi’s Q3 2024 security update blocked many legacy exploit points. Version 2025.01.20 patches this.

This update focuses heavily on post-2024 security patches. Below is the detailed changelog.
