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):
https://github.com/wuseman
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:
Code:
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
Regards wuseman

I have a fairly generic Chinese tablet, a Neutab N7 (not a Nexus 7), but I have no idea how to enter the bootloader/fastboot mode.
Using adb, "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot-bootloader" just makes it reboot normally.
From a shell, doing "su reboot bootloader" also reboots normally.
I tried Quick Boot from Google Play which has an option to reboot into the bootloader, but it also just ends up rebooting normally.
While powered off, I tried holding power and volume up, power and volume down, and power and both volume up and down, but they all just boot normally.
Doing "adb reboot recovery" does boot me into recovery mode, but the menu doesn't have a bootloader/fastboot option.
Does anyone have any idea how to enter the bootloader/fastboot mode for this tablet? Any help would be appreciated.

why do you want to enter the bootloader? and have they made any roms or cwm recovery for these types of generic android tablets?
[RESOLVED] finally, ROOT for Neutab N7 pro tablet.

Having been looking for this information myself i'm sharing real quick here what i've found. Scouring the net all over i've found NOTHING specific for these Chinese tablets but after finally getting on the scent of VROOT I downloaded and tried iROOT essentially a one-click rooter the .APK **DID NOT WORK** but the PC version **DID** can be found by googling iroot or vroot.
RE: bootloader, i've still found no way or any good info on entering the bootloader AFAIK this is locked and may not be possible without some good hard hacking on the firmware, I DO KNOW that if you try entering the "bootloader" with a reboot manager on the device u will find yourself at the "NeuTab" welcome screen and stuck. Fortunately at least in my experience, letting the tablet battery run down low you can boot back into it and root condition is still good.
Hope this helps somewhat I know its an old post but a lot of people have been looking for this info have yet to post on authors site confirming that the NeuTab also works with his software.
peace.
VE3UND
BTW I forgot to mention the site and the software (ALTHOUGH IT STATES OTHERWISE) is in Chinese. A leap of faith needed there I know but i confirm this method works. l8z
BTW^2 ALSO the android version was KitKat as received from the mfg, also have been told that Jellybean will install on the tablet after rooting and maybe is now included with device but don't quote me on that.
all in all a really nice tab for the price, especially now we have root biggest missing option: GPS but you can tether to another device with gps if you need to. Also no built in USB HOST MODE. //out
I've got the NeuTab N10 and can't get ADB to see it at all. How did you get ADB to work with your N7, were you able to find NeuTab ADB drivers somewhere?
So i recently came across this tablet in my stuff... something i picked up for the wife a few years back.
I also came across this website.... http://neutab.com/info-detail.php?InfoId=11
It has all the tools and programs that the company uses. includes all files for development of their entire line of tablets.
Thought this may be useful. just click on the link that says pheonixtools.zip and it will take you to a back end file server... This tablet is about as open sourced as it gets... so... this leads me to ask a question i have been struggling with for the last 2 years of being a member on this website...
can anyone... please... help me develop my first recovery and custom rom for this tablet? I just have never done it all the way... i have set up a couple things here and there... figured out how to strip the stock recovery and boot... but never got further than that.
Thanks for the help.
• Unzip phoenix tool.zip you just downloaded; (to open a .zip file, download WinRAR)
• In the folder of phoenix tool you just unzipped, depending on your system specs, select "drvinstaller_X64", "drvinstaller_x86" or "drvinstaller_IA64" to install tablet driver; Or you can run all three driver installer and at least one will work;
• Run "PhoenixSuit.exe", select "firmware" tab;
• Click on "Image" button, choose the firmware you just downloaded;
• Turn your tablet completely off (by press and hold power button for 20 seconds), press and hold "volume -" button, connect tablet to computer via usb cable, keep volume button held, press power button 10 times repeatedly；
• The phoenix tool should recognize the tablet. On pop-up dialog window, select if you want to format and wipe out everything on your tablet；
• The phoenix tool will start flash the firmware to the tablet. Wait till it is done；
• When upgrade is finished, disconnect your tablet from computer, press and hold power button for 10 seconds to quit upgrade mode. then press and hold power button for 2-4 seconds to turn tablet on；
Congratulations! Your tablet is now refreshed.
Ok so I have a NueTab Air 7 Android and I have talked toto their customer support which did neurologist absolutely no good. I have been trying to hard reset my tablet and do a factory reset by holding down the volume up and down keys and the power keys until it gives me the option of rebooting. However, there is no option for a factory reset. Only a Recovery mode, Fastboot mode, and Normal mode. I tired the Normal and Recovery an both sent me back to enter password that I can't rremember, which isthe why I'm resetting it lol. Finally I chose the Fastboot option and now it is stuck on that option and has been for almost an hour. It willwas not let me power off, try to hard reset, it is literally stuck. And it is a hundred percent charged. I do jot hav the optiontime to connectbe the tablet to acall Windows computer at this timetime, as the forums I have read say can possibly fix the issue. And what a surprise the customer service phone number for this specific tablet does not know how to fix it!!!!! Not surprised at all. If anyone at allthe has any ideas or knows what to do or howsomething to fix it please help meme. I'm very frustrated to say thethat least and in desperate need of help. Anything would be immensely appreciated. ~Melissa

I would love to root this tablet purely because it's my daughter's and some of the games she likes has some real funky permissions That they want! A custom rom would be nice but I will be satisfied with being able to revoke some of the permissions that the apps want to have access to.

I have yet to be able to download the zip or the firmware software. i got root with kingo pc version but that's pretty much it and I can't change the route manager because once I delete that then I don't have root anymore and can't add another one. Also I have yet to been able to get into or see download mode on this either. It just stays on the screen with the name on it and that's pretty much it. no bootloader unlock either
Hi earlier my son was on the nabi 2 and randomly it started spamming "Unfortunately google search has stopped" every 3 - 4 seconds, which affects the keyboard I suppose, now I'm just stuck on the "Enter the password" but no keyboard to do so? Please help me I'm not sure how to run these programs to fix it or how to even start.

hello, my son's nabi is behaving the same. Did you ever get a way around this? If so please post
My daughters is the same. It's incredibly irritating as we can't get into parent mode to try updates. Only thing I can think to do is a factory reset but am loath to do it as she has had this nabi for 3 years and has a lot of stuff on it. Anyone find a solution?

Not sure what android version you are on. With ADB you could try
adb shell pm clear com.google.android.gms
Otherwise it will likely be a factory reset.
You could try and enter recovery mode and clear the cache.
1. Turn the tablet off completely.
2. Hold volume up and power.
3. A menu should pop up.
4. Use the volume keys to scroll the menu selection. volume down scrolls the menu down.
5. Scroll to recovery kernel and press volume up to select it.
6. Wait until an android lying on it's back with a warning triangle popping from it's body appears.
7. Hold Volume Down, and while you're holding it, press volume up.
8. A menu should appear. Using the volume down button, scroll to "wipe cache partition" and press power to select it.
9. Using the volume down button once again, scroll to "yes" and press power to select it.
10. When it says it's done and the menu is back, press power and the tablet will restart.
This worked for me: delete com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox in data/data
Hello, all. I joined just to post this solution I just discovered.
Problem:
"Unfortunately Google Search stopped working" + no keyboard + thus Nabi is stuck in "Kid Mode" as OP described, because you can't get to system settings in "Mommy Mode" to disable the malfunctioning app, because you can't enter the Mommy Mode password.
Background:
My daughter's Nabi2 tablet (running Android 4.1) did not have USB debugging enabled before it flaked out, so I thought I was out of luck. Moreover, doing "fastboot delete cache" didn't work, nor did deleting the cache and the Dalvik cache via TWRP. But this DID work:
1) Installed Android SDK tools to get fastboot utility working. (How to do this is amply documented elsewhere.)
2) Installed TWRP, twice. First an older version 2.3.x, then 2.8.5.0. You may be able to go straight to 2.8.5.0. but I followed a helpful post on beatificabytes dot be (search for "Nabi 2 Bricked"), who did it in two stages, and this worked easily for me.
3) Optional: I made a backup of my data using TWRP 2.8.5.0, just in case anything went wrong. I also made a backup of the whole system. (The earlier version of TWRP couldn't access the files, but loading 2.8.5.0 enabled me to back up files.)
4) Go to TWRP file manager. (Tap "Advanced" tab, then "File Manager") I navigated to data/data and deleted the whole folder named com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox You have to look carefully for it because the end of the name gets cut off in the left-hand window that lists folders. Just tap the folder name, then when it shows you the contents in the right-hand window, tap delete without tapping anything in the right-hand window. You can verify that you are deleting the whole folder after you tap delete.
5) Exit TWRP. I did not opt to install SuperSU; I left the tablet unrooted. Reboot to normal system.
Voila! "Unfortunately..." no longer appeared, and the keyboard was back!
I took a moment to go into Mommy Mode and enabled USB debugging for future use.
Hope this helps. There seem to be a lot of people trying to fix this bug! Saved me a factory reset and my daughter losing all her progress in her games.
Other folks have suggested directly attaching a keyboard to the Nabi using an "on the go" cable. (Female normal size USB to male micro USB.) I didn't have one handy so didn't try it, but let folks know if it works for you, because it's an easier solution than installing a recovery program. But I am extremely grateful for the TeamWin community and those who ported it for Nabi2.
EJJ
Buy an OTG cable and plug a wired keyboard into the nabi 2. Type your password in and you will be in mommy mode!! The cable costs 1 buck to 3 bucks online. While in mommy mode go to your settings. Open APPS. Select ALL in top right and find Google search. Open it and clear all cached as well as all data! Tablet is back to normal without losing a thing!!!!! I just did this to my nieces today and it worked great!!!
I got the fire hd6 so I could use my own apps on it, only to my discovery it uses the horrendous amazon store, and so I wanted to root it and done so using some root junky thing. It worked fully rooted for a day, but the next time I started it up, I got the infinite "Optimizing system storage and applications" loader.
This is where things get funky,
Factory reset using volume up+ power allows the hd 6 to work once (It boots to setup, but when I turn it off and back on, its stuck on optimizing system storage loader). Once I boot it up, the home screen is blank, and will freeze the tablet. However, if I push the power button off and back on the lock screen works fine, and from the lock screen I can open settings and turn on developer mode and enable adb debugging.
I did all the steps with android studio and got my drivers working for when the tablet is turned on (its on the list of adb devices), however when I volume up+power and try to boot with new firmware, my pc suddenly can't recognize it.
It's a shame because it's barely been used, and there are no guides online that could help me with this, the closest is root junky's guide, but his seems aimed towards later generations, and he doesn't have the issue of the pc not recognizing the adb device when its in the boot mode. I really don't want to trash it, but it's not like there are too many options.
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?
"System UI has stopped error" right after boot on LG G5 - Other processes work fine
HI I have an unlocked LG G5 (Model: RS988) running Android 7. (Never rooted). However, I do have "USB debugging" and "install apps from unknown sources" on. Few days back my phone's battery died during use but when I rebooted my phone-- I started getting this error "unfortunately, System UI has stopped" on a black screen with just one option to "close app". Clicking close app, make screen go black and the error return back after few seconds. Before my battery dies, I was taking a backup of Nova Launcher settings from within app - I don't think it is related but just wanted to mention if it clicks something with someone.
It seems other processes are working fine in the background. I have tried placing a Whatsapp call, which show up and make the phone ring. The phone vibrates fine whenever a new message is received. Locating the device via Android Device Manager rings the device fine. However, in all of these interactions the touchscreen doesn't work. So I can see a call is coming, I just can't receive it. Also pressing power button does bring up power menu. Restarting phone via the menu doesn't help.
There are few apps and data stored in those that I need access to and therefore, I cannot try "factory reset" as an option. However, I have tried following things but they didn't help or I was unable to do so due to mentioned reason:
1) Booting into Safe mode -- I am getting same error in safe mode
2) Connecting to LG Bridge & ADB -- Since I cannot enter my pattern lock because of this error, my device doesn't show up in LG Bridge & ADB. However, looking in devices my device does show up. LG Bridge recommend unlocking the device which obviously I cannot do. The device doesn't show up in ADB
3) Clearing cache -- I am unable to reach the menu to clear cache. The hardware buttons only give an option to erase all data and not a full recovery menu like other android devices
One last interesting thing is that when I connected the phone to my car - Android Auto did show up. I was able to open it, interact with map and other apps. If you guys can think of a creative way of using this fact to unlock the device, may be I can then use LG bridge or ADB to clear the cache or pull the app data from device.
Please help and suggest what else can I try.
