Introduction: The Unique Challenge of the S24 FE

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE (Fan Edition), launched as a more accessible entry into the S24 ecosystem, has become a favorite for both users and technicians in 2026. However, its security implementation—driven primarily by the Exynos 2400e (and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in some regions)—presents a unique hurdle for Factory Reset Protection (FRP) removal. With Android 16, Samsung has introduced "Dynamic Security Tokens," making traditional bypass methods obsolete.

In this guide, we dive deep into the hardware-software synergy of the S24 FE. We will use the legacy but effective Test Mode gateway to bypass Google Lock. This method remains the gold standard because it utilizes a hardware-level testing interface that even the most advanced 2026 security patches cannot fully block without hindering legitimate repair services.

Technical Specifications for Unlocking

Chipset: Exynos 2400e / Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Firmware Version: One UI 8.0 (Android 16 Ready)

Security Patch: January 2026 Optimized

Required Tool: SamFw Tool V5.x or Higher

Why Android 16 (One UI 8.0) is Stubborn

By 2026, Android's security architecture has moved towards Zero-Trust hardware verification. The Galaxy S24 FE utilizes the Knox Vault to store FRP flags. If you try to bypass the lock using software-only loopholes (like browser redirections), the Knox Vault detects the anomaly and force-reboots the device. This is why the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) method via the hardware test menu is the only stable solution left for repair professionals.

Phase 1: Preparing Your Repair Station

Before connecting the S24 FE, ensure your workstation meets these 2026 standards:

1. The Data Pipeline: Use a high-quality USB 3.0 cable. The S24 FE's Exynos controller can be picky about data synchronization during the ADB handshake.

Dial #0# on the emergency screen to enter hardware test mode.

2. Universal Drivers: Ensure you have the Latest Samsung USB Driver Package. Without these, the SamFw tool will not detect the device's diagnostic port.

3. Host Integrity: Disable real-time protection in Windows Security. The exploit strings used by repair tools are often misidentified as threats.

Phase 2: The Step-by-Step Bypass Process

STEP 01

Hardware Menu Activation

On the "Welcome" screen, tap Emergency Call. Enter the code *#0*#. This must trigger the white Test Menu. If the screen remains blank, you may need to use an "MTP to Alliance Shield" redirection, though that is rare for S24 FE global units.

STEP 02

SamFw Protocol Execution

Connect your device to the PC. Launch the SamFw Tool. Navigate to the Samsung Tab. Select Remove FRP (New Method 2026). The tool will initiate a handshake with the S24 FE's internal bootloader via the COM port.

STEP 03

Authorizing the ADB Handshake

This is the critical moment. Look at your S24 FE. A prompt will ask for USB Debugging Authorization. Check the box "Always allow" and tap OK. The tool will then send the "FRP Wipe" command, and the device will automatically reboot.

Common Issues: Exynos 2400e "Port Busy" Error

The S24 FE sometimes shows a "Port Busy" or "Device Not Found" error even when drivers are installed. This is usually because the Exynos chip is holding the diagnostic port for thermal monitoring. To resolve this, unplug the device, turn it off, enter Recovery Mode, clear the Cache Partition, and try the process again while the device is cool to the touch.

S24 FE Unlocking: The 2026 FAQ

1. Is the S24 FE bypass different from the S24 Standard? Technically, the steps are the same, but the S24 FE (Exynos variant) requires more precise driver timing. If you fail the first time, reboot both the PC and the phone. For the Standard model, see our S24 Standard Guide. 2. Does this trip the Knox Warranty Bit? No. Since we are using an authorized diagnostic port designed for Samsung technicians, your Knox status remains 0x0 (Valid). Features like Samsung Health and Secure Folder will still work. 3. What if *#0*# is disabled by my carrier? Some North American carriers (Verizon/AT&T) disable this code. In such cases, you must use the QR Code Method to trigger the ADB prompt, which we cover in our Carrier Unlocking Masterclass. 4. Will this work on Android 16 Beta versions? Yes, the 2026 SamFw update is specifically optimized to handle the security changes found in the Android 16 developer and beta branches.

Technician's Final Thought

Unlocking the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE in 2026 is a testament to how hardware gateways remain vital for repairability. While Google and Samsung continue to enhance cloud-based security, the ADB-over-Test-Mode method remains the most reliable path for technicians worldwide.
