Troubleshooting Common Issues of the GSM Prime Tool

  • Run the tool as administrator.
  • Try different USB ports or reboot phone into correct mode (Test #0#, Download, EDL).

Bypass Stuck/Failed/Incomplete

  • Retry Odin/Download or Qualcomm EDL; switch to Test mode if it still fails.
  • Ensure Android 5-13 on supported Samsung A/M series; newer Android versions or device models often fail.
