Samsung Galaxy A23 (SM-A235F) Firehose Loader (Snapdragon 680) – Download

Revive your dead Samsung. Download the official Samsung Galaxy A23 (SM-A235F/M) Firehose Loader. This specialized Snapdragon 680 programmer allows unbricking via EDL mode when Download Mode is inaccessible.

The Samsung Galaxy A23 (Models: SM-A235F, SM-A235M, SM-A235E) is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (SM6225) processor. Unlike standard software issues that can be fixed via Odin (Download Mode), a “Hard Brick” often results in the device becoming completely unresponsive. In this state, the phone is only detected by the PC as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. To revive it, you need the specific Firehose Loader (Programmer) file tailored for the Samsung SM6225 platform.

File Information & Specs

Supported Tools

Samsung devices utilize high-security bootloaders (Knox/KG). Standard free tools (like QFIL) often fail without a patched loader or specific authentication. We recommend using professional service tools:

• UnlockTool (Highly Recommended – Select ‘Samsung A23’ in the Odin/Qualcomm tab)
• Chimera Tool (Auto-detects via Test Point)
• UMT (Ultimate Multi Tool) – QcFire
• Hydra Tool
• Pandora Tool

How to Use Firehose Loader (Test Point Method)

1. Disassemble Device: The Samsung A23 requires Test Point access to force EDL mode if the screen is dead. Carefully remove the back panel and the motherboard shield.
2. Locate Test Points: Find the two specific test points located near the battery connector or camera module (refer to Test Point image).
3. Short & Connect: Disconnect the battery. Short the two points with metal tweezers and simultaneously connect the USB cable to the PC.
4. Check Driver: Ensure Device Manager shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
5. Open Tool: Launch your preferred tool (e.g., UnlockTool).
6. Select Loader: In the Qualcomm tab, select the brand “Samsung” and model “A23”. The tool will auto-load the internal programmer.
7. Flash/Unbrick: Load the firmware (BL, AP, CP, CSC) if needed, or click “Unbrick” to restore the boot partition.

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
This method is for Repair Purposes Only. Flashing the wrong loader on a Samsung device can trip the Knox counter or permanently damage the RPMB partition. Ensure your model number (A235F vs A235M) matches exactly before flashing.
