Google introduced factory reset protection to Android devices last year with the release of Android Lollipop build. However, it’s only now that manufacturers and carriers are rolling out the feature to their devices.
The Factory Reset Protection works by securing your device using your Google account credentials, so when someone steals your phone and factory reset it, the user will still need to verify the registered Google account on the phone prior to Factory reset to setup and use the device. This makes it pointless for the thief to steal your phone.
However, if you didn’t steal but bought the phone off Craigslist or other similar market, and you’re now stuck with account verification after a factory reset of the phone. Well, in that case, you might find a little hacker’s magic helpful.
Developer tungkick over at xda has created a simple batch script tool that can bypass factory reset protection (FRP) on a number of LG devices, check the full list of supported devices below:
- LG G4
- LG G3
- LG G Flex 2
- LG G Stylo
Support for more devices coming soon..
You can grab tungkick’s Factory Reset Protection bypass tool for LG devices from the download link below:

How to Bypass Account Verification on LG Devices
- Put your LG device into download mode and connect it to PC.
- Download and extract the bypass tool by tungkick on your PC.
- Double-click/Run Tool.exe file » Select your LG device from the list and let the tool do its work.
- Once bypass tool is done, reboot your phone.
That’s it. You shouldn’t see account verification anymore on your LG device.
Happy Androiding!

Is download mode when it says Firmware update on the screen?

Is it right?
But in anyway – i got to manage.

hi,this is how i bypassed the whole google verification .when your phone starts up go into accessibilitys and turn on shortcut keys and theres a setting that will show the icon on your screen when you tap the icon hold the home button and it will put you thru to the internet then type settings and search it will take you to a page where at the bottom it shows icons slide it to the left till you see phone then hit search again it will take you into your phone settings go to apps and then to all then disable google apps and restart your phone it worked for me.
I see no place for assessabilities

I have noticed that quite a few people are having trouble using this tool…lets clarify some things…1st, make sure that you have installed the LG Universal Driver (all LG models except Verizon), download link: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G4/LGUnitedMobile_Win_Driver_Ver_3.14.1.exe
2nd, the bypass tool consists of 19 files, and all 19 files are packaged in the .rar file and you will need to install a program like 7zip to unpackage the files.
3rd, copy all 19 files to the desktop of your pc
4th, run the tool.exe file first before connecting your device and make sure you are connecting the USB cable to the pc first before connecting it to your phone…you will know that the LG drivers are installed and the phone is being read by the program because it will display what COM port the phone is on
5th, in some cases, you may need to manually reboot your device when prompted by the tool and reconnect (this was the case with an LG G4 model H811)
6th, once device reboots a small set of script will run, this “scripture” if you will is completed when the “#” appears at the end….again, you may need to disconnect the USB cable and manually reboot your device. Any questions, you may reach me at XDA developers or email: [email protected]
So, how can I do this right with a Verizon version of LG G4? I was trying to do everything by the instruction, but it just shows me the blank screen and nothing happens. Any help out there?
Do you download the LG universal driver on the phone or the PC?
Thanks. That’s what was missing for me. After downloading and running the driver program, and then re-running the tools.exe program, it worked. Woohoo!
I would simply add that if you run the program and you see an icon about the firmware updating, along with a progress bar that never goes past 0%, as I saw, just ignore it. Otherwise, you’ll sit there for hours, when the real work is done in less than a minute.
mine shows firmware update and not moving forward..
on the pc window i saw # but still on screen
i see the firmware update part. what do i do after that? i tried unplugging the phone, rebooted and it still shows the gmail verify account part.
I get an error The system cannot find the batch label specified. Any thoughts?
did you ever get it to work? if yes, then how did you do it?

actually it does work and i have done it with two lg g4 phones with success first make sure you have the lg drivers downloaded and installed then down load and extract the bypass tool scroll down to tool.exe open that up but don’t select it yet then plug in cable into usb port on laptop hold volume up button until you see the phone go into download mode then connect it and then select phone and click ok then it starts to download it once done reboot phone and the google account should be gone which will enable you to set up phone as new user
What are the lg drivers ? How do I download it?
I am not good with computers at all and trying to figure out how to do this. Is there any video to watch this.
You need to power on you phone like normal and install driver from: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G4/LGUnitedMobile_Win_Driver_Ver_3.14.1.exe after thats installed you should plug in your phone and see it installing you phones drivers. Then power off phone put in download mode and run the program. Should work every time very easy
