If you're locked out of your Samsung A16 (model A165F) due to a Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock, don't worry — you're not alone. Many users run into this issue after resetting their phones without removing the Google account first. Thankfully, there’s a professional method to bypass the FRP lock using an Unlock Tool. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process, step by step.
⚠️ Note: The Unlock Tool used in this method is not free and requires a valid user ID and password.
🛠What You’ll Need:
- Samsung A16 (A165F)
- Unlock Tool software (paid version)
- USB cable
- Windows PC
- Some basic knowledge about EDL/Test Point
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Launch the Unlock Tool
Start by opening the Unlock Tool on your PC. You’ll be prompted to log in using your registered user ID and password. Make sure your subscription is active.
Step 2: Navigate to the Samsung Tab
Once the tool is open, locate and click on the Samsung tab from the menu. This section is dedicated to Samsung devices and offers model-specific options.
Step 3: Select Your Model
Search for Samsung A16 (A165F) - MT6787 in the model list. Once found, select it. This tells the tool which configuration and protocols to use for your specific device.
Step 4: Configure EDL Settings
Now head over to the BROM | EDL tab. Here’s what you need to do:
-
Tick the checkbox that says PRELOADER Auth
-
Select SAMSUNG CUSTOM DA
-
Then, browse and select the file named
Samsung_A16_MT6787.mtk
This setup is crucial for the tool to communicate with the device at the low-level EDL (Emergency Download) mode.
Step 5: Erase FRP
Click on the option [PRELOADER] ERASE FRP. This command will trigger the tool to prepare the FRP removal process through the preloader interface.
Step 6: Enter EDL Mode
Now, you need to put your Samsung A16 into EDL (Emergency Download) Mode. This usually involves shorting test points on the motherboard, so proceed carefully.
💡 Tip: If you're unsure where the test point is located, the Unlock Tool provides a reference image. Just click on EDL test point location for Samsung A16.
Step 7: Wait for Completion
Once the device is in EDL mode and connected, the Unlock Tool will automatically start the FRP removal process. Just sit back and wait until it completes. It usually takes a few moments.
🎉 That’s It!
After the process completes, your Samsung A16 should reboot without the FRP lock. You can now set it up as a new device without needing the previous Google account.
⚠️ Important Notes:
-
Always double-check the model number before proceeding.
-
This process is intended for professional use; avoid using it for unauthorized purposes.
-
Using the wrong DA file or settings may brick your device.
