Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (SM-X200/X205) FRP Bypass Android 14: The Working Unisoc Method [2026]

Author: Emily White Last Updated: Jan. 30, 2026

Locked out of your Samsung Galaxy Tab A8? Standard methods fail on the SM-X200 Unisoc chipset. Use our verified 2026 guide with correct SPD drivers to bypass FRP on Android 14.

Getting locked out of your own Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 after a factory reset is a deeply frustrating experience. You’re stuck at the Google “Verify your account” screen, and the standard Samsung solutions you find online don’t seem to work.

This isn’t your fault. Most guides fail because they don’t address the tablet’s specific Unisoc T618 chipset, which causes driver issues and makes common tools incompatible. This is especially true for the Wi-Fi-only SM-X200 model, which lacks the phone dialer needed for the popular *#0*# bypass codes.

This guide provides a clear, tested procedure to solve this exact problem. Our process was validated on both the SM-X200 (Wi-Fi) and SM-X205 (LTE) models running the latest One UI 6 / Android 14 security patches.

Why Standard Methods Fail: Understanding the Unisoc T618 Chipset

If you’ve already attempted a Galaxy Tab A8 FRP bypass with no success, there’s a clear technical reason.

The Galaxy Tab A8 is not powered by a typical Samsung Exynos or Qualcomm chip. Instead, it uses a Unisoc T618 System-on-Chip (SoC). This hardware difference is critical because it dictates how the tablet communicates with a computer.

Similarly, if you are dealing with the MediaTek-based model, standard tools also differ. We have a separate guide for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (SM-T220/T225) FRP Bypass on Android 12/13. For the Tab A8, however, the focus is on the Unisoc architecture.

No Test Mode: The *#0*# code does not work on the SM-X200 (Wi-Fi) because it has no dialer app.
Driver Mismatch: Standard Samsung USB drivers cannot communicate with the Unisoc bootrom or diagnostic ports effectively for unlocking.

Our approach focuses specifically on this hardware, helping you avoid ineffective methods.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 SM-X200 FRP Bypass

What You Need: Prerequisites & Downloads

Before you begin, gather the necessary files. This is the most critical part of the process. We’ve linked to the exact, tested resources to ensure you don’t have to search for questionable files.

Windows PC: Windows 10 or 11 is recommended.
USB Cable: The original cable is best.
SPD/Unisoc Drivers: Required for the PC to recognize the tablet’s chipset. Search for: SPD_Driver_R4.20.4201.
Unisoc-Compatible FRP Tool: We verified this with SamFw Tool v4.9 (or newer), which includes a specific Unisoc module.

Important Heads-Up: Windows Defender may flag FRP tools as false positives. You may need to temporarily disable Real-Time Protection to run the software.

The Proven MTP Mode Method for a SM-X205 & SM-X200 FRP Bypass

Follow these steps carefully. The most common point of failure is Step 1 (Drivers).

Step 1: Install SPD Drivers (Crucial!)

Standard Samsung drivers are not enough. You must install SPD (Spreadtrum) drivers.

Unzip the SPD_Driver package.
Windows 10/11 Users: You likely need to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement for these drivers to install correctly.
- How to do it: Hold Shift -> Click Restart -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> Startup Settings -> Restart -> Press F7.
Run the driver installer and restart your PC.

Pro-Tip: Connect your tablet to the PC. Open Device Manager. Under “Ports (COM & LPT),” you should see “SPRD U2S Diag” (or similar). If you see this, you are ready.

Step 2: Run the SamFw FRP Tool

Extract the tool to your Desktop.
Run SamFw.exe as Administrator.
Critical Step: Click on the [Unisoc] tab (sometimes labeled Spreadtrum) at the top of the tool. Do not stay on the main Samsung tab.

Step 3: Connect and Execute

Connect your Galaxy Tab A8 to Wi-Fi.
Connect it to the PC via USB.
In the SamFw Tool (Unisoc Tab), confirm the device is detected.
Click the button labeled “Remove FRP” (or “Open Browser” depending on the tool version).
Watch the log window for success messages.

Step 4: The Browser Bypass (On Tablet)

The tool should trigger a pop-up on your tablet screen (“View”).

Tap View to open YouTube, then the Browser.
In the address bar, type: vnrom.net/bypass (or a similar FRP helper site).
Tap “Open Settings” to enter the tablet’s system menu.

Step 5: The Fix for One UI 6 (Android 14)

Now that you are in Settings, try the standard method first:

Go to Accounts and backup > Manage accounts.
Tap the Google account -> Remove account.

If “Remove Account” is Greyed Out (One UI 6 Fix): Samsung’s latest security patch prevents removing the account directly. Do this instead:

In Settings, search for “Secure lock settings” or “Screen lock”.
Set a new PIN code (e.g., 1234).
Once set, restart your tablet.
When it boots up, it will ask for the PIN code you just created instead of the Google account. Enter 1234, and you are in!

Why Other Samsung Methods (#0#, TalkBack) Fail on Your Tab A8

Many guides recommend methods that are simply not applicable to the Galaxy Tab A8.

The Missing Test Mode: The most common method for recent Samsung phones is dialing *#0*# to open a test mode. This is completely unavailable on the Wi-Fi-only Galaxy Tab A8 (SM-X200) because its firmware lacks the phone dialer application. Any sm-x200 FRP unlock tool that relies on this code is incorrect.
Patched Security in One UI 6 / Android 14: For both the SM-X200 and SM-X205, older software exploits using the TalkBack accessibility feature have been patched by Samsung in the updates to Android 13 and Android 14. A PC-based tool is the only reliable solution for devices with current firmware.

Why You Should Avoid Advanced Methods

You may see tutorials for “Test Point” methods. We strongly advise against them for this device.

High Risk (Bricking): Flashing incorrect “Combination Firmware” on a Unisoc chipset often leads to a hard brick.
Hardware Damage: The Test Point method requires prying open the tablet screen to short-circuit the motherboard. It is risky and unnecessary when the software method above works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which drivers do I need for my PC to detect the Tab A8 correctly?

You must install SPD/Unisoc drivers. Standard Samsung USB drivers will not work. The SPD (Spreadtrum) drivers are made for Unisoc-powered devices and are essential for any PC-based tool to recognize your tablet. The link is provided in the “Prerequisites & Downloads” section above.

Is there any no-PC method on Android 14 that still works for the Tab A8?

As of the latest One UI 6 / Android 14 security updates, we have found no reliable no-PC methods for the Galaxy Tab A8. A PC with the correct drivers and a compatible tool is the only confirmed solution.

Can I damage my tablet using this MTP mode tool?

The MTP method is very safe. It does not modify the tablet’s core operating system, flash new firmware, or require unlocking the bootloader. The tool sends a standard command to the tablet to open a browser, which is a normal function of the Android OS.

How do paid remote FRP services compare?

Paid remote services offer a near-guaranteed success rate, as an expert performs the work for you. They are a good option if you are not comfortable with the DIY approach. However, they cost a per-device fee, whereas the method in this guide is free.
