[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wuseman:
Hey all.

Notice: This wiki might work for more LG Devices with limited settings..

I have browsed the web for find a working tutorial for bypass FRP on a LG G6 wich has LIMITED settings: network settings + tethering only and that wont let you install any applications or even list applications due to selinux but none is legit, not even here at this forum so I decided to create one.

I am not very active here at xda developers so don't expect me to create more wikis, maybe for some other devices I haven't seen a legit wiki for, we will see.

I wanted to add pictures first but they got HUGE so I decided to create the wiki without pictures and videos so if you feel you wanna see pictures while you hacking the device, browse to my github (here you will see how to install apk files aswell if you are on Android 8.0, wich is not possible without using the method on my git due to limited settings, you wont be able to override them to install lg settings or any similiar, you wont be able to install hidden menu neither):

However, let's go!

Requirements

Your device, a PC and your usb cable, no annoying urls will be posted in my wikis. ;)

Important:

You must be on Android 7.0, you can download any firmware from lge.firmware.com, it wont matter wich you will download until you bypassed the firmware.

But since you probably not wanna download a firmware twice it's better to download the correct one already now, okey the flashing part is easy and is described at

lge's homepage so I wont go deeper in this part since I expect you know how to rollback your device to 7.0 from 8.0.

# Bypassing FRP!

At welcome screen, press arrow next button:

followed by pressing on skip

Now you will notice next button in wifi window is inactive so now connect to wifi, this is only needed so settings will appear in the accessibility menu

No worries, we wont enable some lame talkback setting wich is used many times

Go back to main screen (wifi must be connected):

Press on accessibility

Press on switch access at bottom:

Press on settings in down right corner

Press on Help & Feedback

Press on about switch access for Android

Press fast on top at the video, now you see the clock and press on it beside the share icon

Youtube getting started for 1 second you wont even notice it, and you have been redirected to google chrome browser

Now you're at google chrome, if you wanna try to install an apk do it, you wont be able too since the limited settings, probably you already know? :) (However, lets move on and ignore the scammers/noobs that claims it works to install applications this way)

But no worries, browse to any site that allowing you to press on a number since we want phone application to be started:

Once pressed on any phone number you found on any site get into call application

Now enter the uusd code for secret menu

*#546368#*870# (Hidden Menu Is Not Available On Android 8.0 Hence We On Android 7.0)

And now you're in hidden menu wich you wasnt allowed to open in android 8.0, browse to SVC MENU:

Followed by pressing on LDB

Is the USB debugging button grayed out? This seems to be various for different firmwares have I noticed:

Don't get panic! Then just read the below, others can feel free to jump over this part once they enabled usb debugging:

Turn off your LG device

Re-do the flash process with LGUP

Once the installation is complete and your device is erasing itself with the white background and the android logo on screen saying "DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE" - That's exactly what you must do so turn off device by hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN (if you will be to late first time, you will succeed second time just press the buttons ~2-3 seconds before you know the screen will popup so you will poweroff the device during installation) - Now let the device be powered off for ~1 minute and then turn it on again and redo the process from step 1 until 22 and you will be enable to enable usb debugging if you wasn't to late when powering off the device, IF it's still inactive then just try again and try again until it will work, actually I figure out this after my third attempt and now I have tried this several times and you must turn it off while it's between 0% and 100% and since POWER + VOL DOWN takes ~7 seconds to power off device and the screen appears for around 4 seconds you must press the buttons few seconds before to turn it off exactly when it's needed.

Now when usb debugging has been enable, plug in usb cable in your pc and enter shell by adb shell and copy and paste below oneliner:

for apps in "com.android.google.gms com.lge.setupwizard com.lge.hiddenmenu com.google.android.setupwizard com.lge.easyhome"; do pm uninstall --user 0 "${apps}";done; am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR;reboot

Once device rebooted

Click next arrow button at main screen

And press on skip again as we did earlier.

Connect to wifi and hit next

Voila! You can accept documents now ... But hey, don't be to excited yet..

Just continue until you will join the HOME screen, voila - It's done!

Nah, just kidding. You will get your device formated, again, don't cry over this since it is expected!!!!

The device will reboot, erase itself and now the magic! Your'e done.

Setup your device as usual once again:

For third time hit arrow next button in main screen

Hit next in sim menu if you have no sim-card

Connect to wifi, or leave it disconnected it wont matter

Next, setup your fingerprint

Okey, you're back at were you was started for accept the documents, don't worry - It will work! ;) However, now

You will see a smart forward window for setup sim, just press next as usual:

Finally done.

We have now reset the permissions for everything so just setup device again and this time you you will enter LGE home screen and device wont reboot.

Have fun with your fully unlocked LG device running with latest firmwares for version 7.0 from lge.firmware.com with limited settings and no options for setup apk files or bypassing hidden menu.

Feel free to upgrade firmware with LG Bridge or LGUP to Android 8.0

Enjoy
