Passware introduces a new decryption method for the Samsung S20/S20+/S20 Ultra, leveraging a bootrom vulnerability in the Qualcomm SM8250 chipset. The method applies to devices manufactured in early 2020. Combined with existing support for the S10 and Exynos-based S20 series, Passware Kit Mobile now provides full coverage across both Samsung lineups.
For devices with strong encryption, such as iPhones and Samsung Exynos-based models, Passware Kit now caches previously tested passwords, eliminating redundant checks and speeding up password recovery. A separate optimization further improves success rates for batch password recovery.
What’s New in Passware Kit Mobile 2026 v4:
- Decryption of Qualcomm-based Samsung S20 series
- Option to cache tried passwords for faster password recovery
- Batch mode optimization
- Support for Kirin-based Huawei devices with Sensitive Data Protection
- Support for iOS 15.8.8 on A8/A9 devices
- Support for additional Android devices reported by customers
Decryption of Qualcomm-based Samsung S20 series
Passware introduces a new decryption method for the Samsung S20/S20+/S20 Ultra, leveraging a bootrom vulnerability in the Qualcomm SM8250 (Snapdragon 865 “Kona”) chipset. The method applies to devices manufactured in early 2020. Combined with existing support for the S10 and Exynos-based S20 series, Passware Kit Mobile now provides full coverage across both Samsung lineups.
Benchmarking on the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G demonstrates recovery speeds of more than 17,000 passwords per second using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.
Option to cache tried passwords for faster password recovery
For select devices with strong encryption, Passware Kit Mobile now includes an option to cache previously tested passwords. This eliminates redundant checks and improves overall password recovery performance.
The option to cache passwords is available for Apple devices, Samsung Exynos-based models with FDE, some Qualcomm-based devices with FBE, and Huawei Kirin smartphones with on-device password verification.
Batch mode optimization
Passware Kit Mobile 2026 v4 introduces a new resource allocation algorithm for concurrent device data decryption, minimizing hardware idle time and boosting batch mode efficiency.
Support for Kirin-based Huawei devices with Sensitive Data Protection
Passware Kit Mobile now supports Huawei Sensitive Data Protection, enabling fuller data decryption on Kirin-based devices such as the P30.
Support for iOS 15.8.8 on A8/A9 devices
iOS compatibility has been extended with the latest iOS 15 release – version 15.8.8. The update covers iPhone 6S and other Apple devices with A8/A8X/A9/A9X processors.
