Newbie needs help. Bought my 4 kids Boost Mobile LG Realms for Christmas to use as "IPads". I used towelroot to root and bypass activation. I know I had to cange a file name in the process. I can the exact instructions if needed.
2 were stuck and frozen. Battery pull, cleared cache in recovery mode. Nothing worked. Factory reset in recovery mode. Now can't bypass activation.
No tricks are working.
-No emergancy call option cant imput dialer codes.
-Language screen touch four corners, nothing
- no airplane mode option, only power off & restart.
-volume up, down back, home or whatever nothing.
-Found one about how to trick to get to settings, no option for these .
Please help me figure out how to get the emergancy call button back or airplane mode back, or how to access settings so that I can skip activation.
Or please advise any way I can bypass activation after a factory data reset was done on a towelrooted LG Realm.
Please Please Please. They are driving me nuts about fixing!

I HAVE THE SPRINT TOUCH PRO STOCK ROM.
A WHILE AGO I REGRETABLY INSTALLED [ezInput 2.1]
[http://mylostblog.altervista.org/software/freeware/per-htc/htc-freeware-htc-keyboard-ezinput-21]
WHEN I DID THE SOFT RESET MY DEVICE GOT STUCK ON THE "TOUCH PRO SCREEN WITH Rom/Radio... info at the bottom.
I've tried several different things to try and make it work.
1. took out the battery and restart.
2. take out the memory card (where i installed) then baterry and restart
3. tried to connect to laptop (nothing)

i dont have "insurance" so i just cant get a new one
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM???
NEW MESSAGE POPPED UP: the device is unable to boot beacuse either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press the volume up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. this operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory settings.
You have to hard reset the device, like the message stated. If that doesn't do the trick, boot it in tricolor mode and reflash the ROM.
<SOLVED>
Problem solved. Factory reset. Good thing i had back-up.
I'm trying to fix my boss's phone.
Phone won't get past LG logo. Tried connecting with adb and device is not being recognized, although when I reboot into "emergency mode" and connect via usb, I get a prompt on my Mac asking if I'd like to use the phone as a modem.
The phone is not rooted and used normally. It just happened out of the blue one day. No exposure to moisture or drops.
Is it possible to flash the stock rom/factory restore without root access?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try to do a wipe
Press Home+Vol_down+Power in this order when you start the phone, and hold them during the LG logo
Wipe won't work, as the phone is on stock ROM (no custom recovery menu). But there is a way - read this. It's a lot to read and a few more links to follow, but it will pay off, because it works.
yep. it works 100%. I bricked my o1 3 times already and it worked for me every time.
You may be able to restore your phone to factory settings by pressing and holding the Home button and Vol down while pressing the power button. It will enter in recovery mode (stock roms have a sort of recovery where it restores you phone to factory state). It will reinstall your os and native apps, but you will no longer have your contacts, sms, pictures etc...
If not, just go with what masteryx told you.
Folks,
Just put Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.21 v1 onto my prime, and now the wifi won't turn on at all. Tried restarting, tried airplane mode.
The slider in the settings page is just set to off, and won't slide. The dialogue box to the right says turning wifi on, but just keeps saying that - for over 10 minutes now
Any one any ideas?
Did the icon of wifi on the menu bar grey out ? If it did, you might need to do a factory reset. I experienced this once. Everything was settled after I did a factory reset.
Fixed It
adb shell
wipe all this wiped most stuff but not everything
Managed to do the "wipe" option at boot up (press down vol + power, leave go of power - etc...). then chose left icon. that did a wipe as well.
Hey presto - no more encryption.
into CWM recovery - all options working now - wipe data doesn't error anymore yippee
installed Virtuosa again and blow my socks off - everything is working - INCLUDING ,my WIFI.
Moral of the story - never give up, and never believe things cant be done just because people say they cant. Persevere and you shall overcome, or have a nice brick door stop that cost a lot of money - hehe
Hey XDA, you did informed me and help me a lot when I would search for a solution and find it on your forums. But now I had to make account in order to find solution for particular one here (I suppose this is a correct topic, please move if I'm wrong):
I forgot to change a really bad pattern password back to regular slide lock, and I didn't know the combination. After trying few times most combinations that I ha din my head, it suddenly asked me a google account in order to unlock it. Well, I know it, I type it and as soon as I press "sign in", a message flashes that it is loading something (just for a split second) and..... nothing. Still there, at same lock screen. I tried those without @gmail.com and null password but nothing worked, none of combinations. I read somewhere that other solution is wipe data or factory reset. Well, I'm okay with that, but how do I enter recovery mode or boot menu where I can access that?? I don't have USB debugging on, I'm sure of that, and my tablet isn't rooted (it was rooted before, but it went on service once for data wiping and it came back un-rooted I suppose)
I don't have hard reset button, but I do have physical back button on side of tablet that I can click, but I never use it. I tried with holding power button and volume up. When it shows me that image of opened android with red triangle warning sign. I release power button and now I'm stuck with that image on my screen, not knowing what to do! I can press power + volume up again to turn off tablet. Power + volume down activates safe mode and turns on tablet, atleast I discovered that feature...
If you know how to get pass that lock screen that asks for google account, anything how to wipe data with locked out tablet I would be very pleased to hear it (technically see it on here). My tablet is still in its case, locked out, and turned off for now.
Note: If I manage to get to pattern lock screen again somehow, that will also work for me. I'm sure I know correct pattern.

instal moborobo and phoenixSuit go in recovery mode and pres volume ap and power and kommt fabrick restore
Ok so in a nutshell I was trying to FRP unlock my friends phone. Problem is that it kept bringing up an error while loading the setup. I finally got it to where i input the account information (as the owner) and I was able to open settings through bugging out the voice search (I also could open file manager).
I noticed unknown sources was greyed out.
Before consideriing doing a factory reset I went ahead and took my friends advice and stopped setup.apk and google play services.apk
When zi went to clear the data it ended up taking me to the very first start screen, I was just a few steps from completion.
Now after I say setup new device the phone switches between activating network and clicking setup new device. Even clicking emergency call does nothing.'
Meanwhile when talkback is on she informs me how every single play services, gmail, and contact app stop working.
In summary, I want to factory data reset the phone.
Chimeratools. load stock firmware -> reloads firmware but doesn't wipe the current data (refurbish not available for this device, only load)
LGUP -> Load is available, but refurbish is not
Hard Keys -> Apparently the G5 doesnt have hard key capability
TWRP -> thing is not oem unlocked
ADB into stock recovery -> ADB will not work.......not usb debugging.
Please assist
With the phone shutoff hold volume down and power, as soon as you see the lg screen release the power button then quickly repress it. make sure to not let go of the volume down button. it might take a few tries but you should be able to get into factory reset menu

This doesn't work...no matter how many times you try the volume down/power release and reapply procedure ...it never get in to factory reset mode. Any other ideas?
