I returned my phone to stock UE40. So it's in something like a factory state. I booted up and, as expected, got the language selection screen. After that, I logged into my WiFi network. But I don't want to enter my account info. I just want to get to the home screen. Seems to me I did this very recently, but that may have been on a Nexus device, maybe one with a custom ROM. I don't recall for sure. Anyway, I can't get past that system request for my Google email address. Is there a way to do this where I can just get to the home screen without entering credentials?

One method is to NOT enter your wifi...or to tell it to forget it...maybe pull the sim to so no data connection...then it has no option to setup a gmail account and should let you skip it.
Once at home screen you can go into settings,wifi and re-enable your wifi.

I don't think I was able to get past the wifi request. That's what I tried the first time around. I could reset and try it again. The SIM card is already out.
I reset and tried to bypass the wifi selection. No go. Even if I turned wifi off, the system would just turn it back on and cycle me through language selection and wifi network. Strange. I KNOW I did this recently, but that may have been on a Nexus 6. Probably was.
FWIW, every time I reset the device, it bootloops when I try to boot into the system. Tonight, this happened a few times. First, when I wiped the device, flashed a system image, and tried to boot into it. Then, a few more times when I reset from stock recovery. Each time, I'd power the phone off during the bootloop and then restart. And it would be OK.
No matter. I'm where I need to be. Just wondered if there was a way around wifi selection and and entering an email address.
Sorry to bump this thread,
But I'm having a similar issue. I restored the phone and booted fine. Until I got to the setup page, I couldn't skip it so I login in my credentials and the "protect your phone" prompt appeared and sent me back to the language screen.
I’m restoring it again using the restore software 4.9.2 tool, since I had the 5 percent issue earlier and I’m going to try again and see if I can skip it.
Of course I’m unable to set up usb debugging as I can’t at least accessing the main home screen.
Any advice suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Never mind got it working and back on Twrp and flashing. Used an old samsung trick and accessed the developer settings that way.
How you did it?
I can tell you what I did to bypass it.
I first got a USB OTG flash drive from the local computer store. I then downloaded an unsigned apk file from any site that has them. Personally I stumbled upon this solution so I had some random "Unlock your phone" APK on the drive. Anyhow, when the phone was on I plugged the flash drive into the phone and tried to open the APK file, it gave me an error message stating that the app was unsigned but then it allowed me to go into security settings, from there I could turn off all of the google verification crap. After I turned off all of the settings, I wiped the cache on the phone, restored it, and it was fixed. No more verification screen.
i HAVE NO ISSUE ON 6045y WITH STOCK FIRMWARE OR WITH DCZ FIRMWARE. I can bypass the setup screen normally.
Need help with "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped." (LG G Vista AT&T D631)
I had rooted my LG G Vista using the Kingroot app about two months ago. A few days ago I tried to unroot the phone through the app then factory reset because I thought that would help for some reason. It ended up deleting some needed files or something to so the phone could launch and now I can't get out of the Google setup on the phone. It just displays the "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped" error message and loops back to the start of the setup process. I've tried factory resetting it maybe 4 times and it hasn't done anything. I've chose different backups on the phone everytime I've reset it and that does nothing. I've looked some stuff up on the internet and I found that I can flash my phone to a certain version of android using a TOT file or DLL file. I have no idea what to do with these because the LG flash tool only allows for KDZ files which seem to be non existent for this phone. Can someone point me in the right direction or will the AT&T people be able to reset it? I just want my phone to go back to normal so I can call and text people.
Have you tried bypassing the first-setup by tapping all the four corners of the screen starting from the top-left corner?
Also, I think, this post is relevant to you. Though that thread is for the Verizon version, it says AT&T released a software update for the LG G Vista (D631) on July 1, 2015.

Thank you for the information. The phone says it is up to date for some reason even though I reset it. I'm guessing it doesn't reset the android version. The touching the corners bit isn't working but I'll keep trying it.
All right. Do keep trying to skip the Setup Wizard and let us know the result. If that doesn't work, flashing the stock ROM may be your only option.
I had the same problem. This won't fix your phone.. But it'll make it usable. Go to accessibility.. Go to the talkback gui thing at the top.. Go to the bottom and click open in play store. Search at the top for some type of launcher. Install that launcher and open it. You can use your phone but it'll be a pain in the ass for sure. After that I would get kingroot again and download a system app disabler. Disable lgsetupwizard and your phone won't be the same.. But it's usable. Hope this helps you or anyone who has this problem. And good luck trying to find any firmware for the D631. Might as well try to get a new phone
Hi there,
Here's the thing, After updating to MM my phone started with issues like no working home button, no status bar... etc.
So decided to make a factory reset using fastboot, but when google account verification came up I realized i didn't remember my google account pass, so i touched the "change pass" button and changed it using the phone.
But then, when trying to log in, an android alert came up telling something like,
"You should sign in with an actual phone owner's account"
Could you give a solution for this?
Do i have to wait 24hs as some sites say or the only way to access my phone now is flashing the whole ROM again?
I've got bootloader locked and is obviously not rooted.
Please Help me!!
Regards.

Edit: Seems there's no fu*** option rather than "cool-down" wait. (Not clearly whether is 24 or 72 hours)
Thanks google indeed, not implementing apple kinda things was clearly why i did preferred your devices & s/w instead of theirs.
Edit2: Lock out is of 24 hours right now!

Heyy guys
So I have a bit of a predicament here... I'm helping my buddy root his LG 'XPower' prepaid phone he got from Boost Mobile awhile back.
However, before giving me the phone to work on, he preformed a 'factory reset' not knowing about the Factory Reset Protection that Google now puts on their phones. Essentially it locks you out from completing the phone setup unless you can login to the last Google account that was used on that phone.
My friend doesn't remember.
SOOOO. Ive got a much bigger task ahead of me than I originally thought. Rooting the phone would have been easy, and I know once the phone is rooted, I can easily pick and choose what google services to activate (such as FRP)... but is there a way to do that that doesn't require me being able to access the phones home screen?
or is there some sort of FRP bypass method someone could show me that would allow me to bypass the lock, so I can root from there.. ?
Idk... I don't wanna waste too much time doing something I don't need to... or something that isn't going to work... anybody got any advice for me?
Thanks I appreciate it!
Sorry if this is in the wrong location but it's been a long time since I've been here and everything looks different with the forum, lol. I couldn't find anything after searching the forum so making this post.
Here's my issue. I have a very old Galaxy S8+ issued by my employer. I left the company back in Jan 2020. Since then my son has been using the phone at the house to play games on and watch YouTube, etc. Whenever it would get running too slow I would just do a factory reset to clean everything out and my son was good to go again. UNTIL YESTERDAY. I did a factory reset like usual but when it restarted and I began the initial set up like you do with a new phone I got a message after connecting to my WiFi that "This device is managed by your organization". It then had a pop up for username/password for MobileIron. Never got that before so only thing I can think is that my old company started using this MDM software sometime between the last time I did a reset and yesterday. I don't have any sign in creds as I don't work for them anymore. Rebooted into "safe mode" to uninstall the app but cannot because the option is grayed out.
Is there any way to root this phone and get rid of the MDM software or install a ROM or something so that the phone is usable again? Obviously, I can't boot the phone up either than in "safe mode" Or is the thing a paperweight now. Just wanted to check before I chuck it in the trash. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I just saw my signature. LMAO! I think it's a little outdated.
