FRP on TSM Tool Pro
FRP is the Google account lock after a reset. TSM removes it on supported models with proof of ownership. The method depends on the chip: Download Mode on Samsung, BROM on MediaTek, EDL on Qualcomm.
KG and MDM — legitimate only
KG (Knox Guard) and MDM are locks set by a seller, carrier or company, for example on instalments or corporate devices. They can only be cleared legitimately through whoever set them, with documents. TSM supports these cases for the rightful owner, not for bypassing someone else's lock.
Preparation
- Identify the exact model code and chip.
- Install the matching driver (9008, VCOM or Samsung).
- Check the model and operation in the TSM list.
- Confirm ownership and warn about the data wipe.
- Get access and run Read Info first.

Bottom line
TSM Tool Pro is strong on MediaTek, Unisoc and Samsung, covering FRP and legitimate KG/MDM. Identify the model and chip, check support, confirm ownership, and prepare the right mode.
Ownership and documents
For FRP, KG and MDM, always confirm the person owns the device. KG and MDM in particular can only be cleared through the seller, carrier or company that set them, with documents. Ask for proof of purchase before any such work; it protects you and the customer.
Reading the log
TSM writes a detailed log: port found, chip detected, info read, operation result. The last line before an error usually names the cause — mode, driver, authorization or support. Save logs per model to build your own fix database.
Server status
Many operations run through servers. If a brand server is down, the operation fails even on a supported model. Check status before a rental, especially for Samsung.

Bottom line reminder
TSM Tool Pro is a MediaTek/Unisoc/Samsung specialist. Check support by exact model, prepare the right mode, and handle KG/MDM only legitimately for the owner.
Legitimate KG/MDM in detail
Knox Guard and MDM exist to let sellers and companies control devices they financed or own. Clearing them is only appropriate when you are the rightful owner or acting for the company that set the lock, with documents. A reputable shop asks for proof of purchase or a company authorization before touching KG or MDM, and declines otherwise. This protects the shop legally and keeps the work honest.
Where TSM fits in a toolkit
Many technicians pair TSM Tool Pro with a broad all-rounder: TSM for budget MediaTek, Unisoc and Samsung, and the other tool for the rest. Because drivers are shared, adding TSM to a bench is just an install and a login.
