I am looking for help. I am a noob and I rooted my phone and it all went well. I froze apps that others had frozen. I tried to be very cautious but I froze LGSetupWizard with titanium backup and then did a hard reset. My phone now starts up with the setup wizard and when it gets to the end it states that the application (process com.android.LGSetupWizard) stopped unexpectedly then it loops back to the beggining. I have actually been able to access my email and the net from the notification dropdown. I am lost as what to do. Is my phone bricked? Is it possible to simply put the application back into the phone somehow? I have access to the files that I froze through titanium back up on my computer as they were on the sd card. I would really appreciate any help
Can't you just skip out of the wizard before it gets to the end? Or choose to not go through it at all?
Try the factory reset and see if that helps... Just guessing though ?
How
The start-up wizard started automatically after the reset. I have tried to get out of it but when I "exit" it brings up the same error message. I read a post on another phone where you could opt out of it by pushing a few buttons in a certain sequence but it did not work. How would I do a factory reset as is? Any ideas? Thank You!!
Can you get debug mode running (possibly by connecting to your computer, selecting the computer usb connection, and then long holding the line in notification center or something)? If so, you might be able to push the backed up .apk with adb and get it reinstalled.
Explanation
I really apprecitate your post. I am sorry I am a noob and I am not sure what you mean by "long holding the line in notification center". I will download ADB and research how to use it. Thank You!!
If you can make adb working, then you can use 'adb uninstall' the TB, or use 'adb shell' login to phone, su, then delete TB app or data
TB?
Thank you for your post, what is TB?
I must be a real idiot. I found out after the fact that if you select any other option than PC software on the USB connection mode it disables debugging mode. I have ADB but it is not recognizing the phone because it is not in debugging mode. Is there any other way to activate debugging mode besides Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging?
Please Help!
TB means TitaniumBackup.
Another way to enter adb:
If you have cwm recovery installed, pls continue see following steps:
1. Enter CWM Recovery mode.
2. Then connect your phone to computer
3. enter "adb devices"
D:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
LGOxxxxxxxxx recovery
If you see above, then good, enter "adb shell" to login to your phone.
enter "id" to make sure you are root.
then:
cd /data/app
ls -l *Titanium*
#you should see something like com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.apk
#then enter:
mv com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup*.apk TitaniumBackup.abc
Above cmd will make the app executable file invalid extension, which should disable the TB app. (I didn't try, but I guess it should disable the app)
HTH,
xordos
CWM Recovery
I don't have CWM recovery, I tried to research it and I could not find the LG nitro in the list for clockwork mod, should I use one of the optimus models? I rooted with superoneclick. If I froze the file in TB would uninstalling TB unfreeze it? I have actuall been able to use mail, messaging, and the phone when someone else calls or emails me and I have been able to access settings for each of these specific areas but I have not been able to access settings for the debugging.
Thank You!!
USB debugging on how do I push the files?
I have ADB running and I am in debugging mode. I still have root. How and where would I push the file onto the device.
Thank you!!
Resolved
My issue has been resolved. Thanks for the help!
problem fixed
hello .
If you still have the problem with the lg phone , there is a very easyyyyyy solution .
I had the same problem ; i deleted Lg home because i was using go launcher home , then one day i just moved go launcher on the sd card . That was the problem , i hard reset my phone 20 time , but still in the end of the reset process i was receving that error , the process stoped .
Ok , once you have reached the error " setup wizard process stop " , press the close button . Than press the 3d menu button . You will go into 3d menu , there click 3d games and accesories . Launch the game asphat 3d. The game will be installed . After you launch the game , there is a small button in the game , in the top left corner , similar with an earth , named info . Click that button , than click the twiter button . Now you will launch the internet browser and you problem it's fixed. Once the internet it's opened , go to google com , and search for any launcher . By example seach go launcher , find it , download it , install it . When you want to install it a windows asking about some security settings will open . It;s the settings menu of the phone . Here you can can allow to install application that dosen't come from play store , or you can just enable usb debuging ( and of course with usb debuggin enabled ,you can easly update or downgrade your phone using the lg official software ) .
Good luck .
hey man, how did you fix this problem? i have the same deal right now. thanks

Somehow my password pattern is suddenly not detectable and it shows as wrong password. As there is no more option in lollipop for "forgot password" and using the gmail account to log in. How do I reset the password on a HTC M8 without doing a reset? I've tried logging into the google account, and I can use the "find" option in the device manager to locate the device, but if i press the "lock" button and try to enter a new password, for a split second it says "We have sent a lock request to the device", but then it says "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." Wtf is going on? I am stuck with a pattern locked phone of whose password i know but the phone doesnt detect it anymore. Is there another way to reset the password?
No replies?
Well.......
Let me start by saying that this is a delicate matter, what if the device is stolen and somebody wants to get the info or device to work without wiping it. I know that this is probably not your intention and that it is hard to prove otherwise. But the possibility could be there in the worst case scenario !
Now don't get the above personal, it's written from another point of view, as i am running HTC phones for the past 6 years and never encountered this all of a sudden at any point. So from my point of view i find it difficult to believe.
To get to your point ...... not sure if it can be done otherwise but to reset the device. Depends if it's rooted or not for instance ?
Cheers
No reply ?
According to the story, looks like either : 3rd party apps are interfering (can also be malware/virus) OR someone physically got hold of the device and changed the password(perhaps he thinks its his own)
Try restarting the device while holding the volume up button only, android will go into safe mode and disable all 3rd party apps. If the password still doesn't work, then you have 2 options:
1) if S-ON : factory reset and lose all user data
2) if S-OFF or bootloader unlocked: remove password (this is the most details I can give without being an accomplice)
My father in law died last weekend and we don't know the pincode of his stock Nexus 5X. We can access his Google account and we know the pincode of his sim card. I hope someone can help us out to get access to his phone. Things we've tried:
- The vingerprint reader was setup but we've tried a lot of possible pins. We've tried his vinger yesterday but because of the attempts the pin is also required now.
- With a pattern lock you'll get a possibility to unlock through the Google account password after some attempts but his phone was secured with a vingerprint and/or pincode. Only the delay between attempts get increased, currently 16 minutes between them.
- The lock option from https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager, but because there is already a pin lock it doesn't work. The pin doesn't change.
- I've tried to access the phone through ADB, booted into the recovery but "adb devices" doesn't see the phone. When I choose to "install update through adb" I see the devices with "adb devices" but I can't use "adb shell", only sideloading works.
- Installing a custom recovery could work but the bootloader is locked, when I unlock it a full wipe will be performed so we still can't access the data.
- From the Play store in the browser on my Mac I've installed the androidlost.com app on the phone, but the app needs to be opened once before it can be used.
- A rubber ducky could help us out, but I don't have one and the time between attempts get increased and increased... it would take weeks, months or years to unlock.
What other possibilities do I have?
First sorry for your lost!
Second, i don´t know for sure, but maybe get the phone to the store where you bought it and explain the situation, maybe they will give a correct advice or like you said the phone is registed in google ( device manager) maybe if you contact them they will help you with that ( the problem is they probably will take a long time to reply or don´t reply at all) or wait for a more expert user than me here in xda,
again, sorry for your lost and hope you solve this problem,
cheers
If the phone was rooted with a recovery installed, YES, you could delete the passcode files and get into it, without root/recovery, you cannot get into it without the password, that is the point of encryption and passwords and all that jazz.... Yes there is probably a way for some high level hacker to do it but good luck finding that.... If you just want to be able to USE the phone, do a factory reset from recovery....
So, i copied an provxml file to the phone and hardreset it. Phone has gone to sad face. Meanwhile, i unlocked bootloader, enabled root access, disabled root acces, lockedback bootloader. And flashed to wp8.1 using wdrt. The problem is that my phone was impersonated as lumia950xl before to get last insider builds.. And after reflash i got Reset Protection recovery key screen. After i erased phone from my account and got the key, i cant recover phone. I fear to make emergency call and go to store to activate my account on phone.
Interesting....
I have an FRP locked 640 XL I bought off ebay for parts. I think I know what you mean by, "I fear to make emergency call and go to store to activate my account on phone." Microsoft seems at this point the only entity that can disable reset protection on the chip.

No, you don't. Make the call, activate video call, store will open to install skipe, there in store settings page you can insert your credentials.

That is one way to do it, but it won't disable FRP will it?
So, there is internet connection. I can insert Microsoft account, it notify me if i insert wrong password....but when i put good password and press login...bang....there is no internet connection, please retry Fkng Microsoft.

How about just bypassing it?
Just how? There is no return. Im talking about first screen, where it ask for key or account. After inserting account , no login
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4RQtSq0oqDM
Maybe this is your solution
Bypassing is the first step. I have not yet found a way to disable it...if even possible.
No keyboard settings on wp8.1.

Upgrade to W10M...If you push the cabs for W10M to it via iutool you might actually bypass the FRP setup...that has happened to me before. But if you hard reset again on W10M unsuccessful to disable FRP it will show again.
A full list of cabs for lumia 640 xl dual sim rm_1067?
Download the wim file here
Open it in 7zip. Extract the folder for 640-640XL to a directory and push the cabs. You might even be able to just avoid all the work and download Microsofts otcupdater tool and use it to upgrade back to W10M...either or will work.

@augustinionut
So the Skype trick...it is a bypass only right?
Phone updated to 10.0.13080.107 I passed first screen, apps don't open, configuration neither... i will try to update thru otcupdater.
Needed to manually install phonesettings.appx.

If there is an FRP trip on your device, it will return but not until a Factory Reset/Hard Reset. But at least you get to use your phone again...
Edit: Oh and if you decide to try to remote wipe your phone once your account is back on. Don't just in case you have the same problem as me. My phone is FRP locked and bypassed. I was able to login with my account and add the phone to my account. One day was messing around and decided to test the remote wipe feature. It worked, sort of... There is some bug or an issue now that every time I sign into the phone to add it back to my account it immediately remote wipes it again. WP8 won't do this though since it does not run a compatible verison of the OS to use such features on the 640 XL.
I'm goying thru the second update
Tomorrow i will look here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn757558(v=vs.85).aspx using WPinternals.
EDIT:
Third update now...
EDIT2: i installed reset protection cab. But strange, cant reset phone, no internet connection . And language don't stick, it changed to default allways.
Still fighting https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/mobile/reset-protection
So today i repeated all stuff. I reseted user data meanwhile the bootloader was unlock and root access activated. The sad face appeared again. So....flash to wp8.1.... and all from the beginning.

Hi friends,
this is my first post here and thanks a lot to whom paying time to answer my questions.
I am having trouble with Samsung A7 2017. My wife always uses fingerprint for unlocking her phone. 2 or 3 days ago (~20.01.2018) she has started an official regular update and it finished normally. But after a restart, the phone gave a message that at least once the phone should be opened with the unlock pattern. Both i and my wife does not know or at least could not enter the correct pattern. So, i talked to a samsung call center person, and she asked me if we have any samsung account working on that phone but unfortunately we do not have one. She told me that more probably the data on the phone would have to be erased in samsung authorized technical service.
Until then, i did not have any experience about android technically, but i am now trying to understand what booting, TWRP, CWM, odin is meaning in terms of android running phone. Actually i am an electronics engineer, i even develop some basic applications on android but this kind of informations are completely different and new to me.
The only important point is that I REALLY DO NOT WANT ANY DATA LOSS, since i have many memories, pictures, videos on that phone. Please do not get angry with me for not backing up earlier, because i am already very sorry on that and angry with myself.
Anyway, i tried following but could not have success.
1. The phone's "developer options" menu is not activated, thus "USB debug" option is also unchecked. We do not have any chance for changing this because we are unable to bypass the pattern lock screen. So as i guess ADB commands are of no use. If this information is not true please explain me how i can proceed since i do not have much information.
2. I restarted the phone, by pressing "VolumeDown + Home + Power" buttons and Downloading mode appeared on the screen. I ran the Odin (latest versions - do not know exactly since i tried many) software on my PC and tried to download TWRP on the phone but failed each time. Phone gave the massage telling about "... FRP lock". I guess this is due to a lock under developer options (something like ... OEM lock). So i could not install TWRP.
Again if my knowledge is false please tell me the true way or right information.
3. I had an idea on creating a bootable SD card so that it will boot from it and thus giving me the opportunity for installing TWRP. But i could not find much information on that.
Please help me find a suitable solution. I am actually not interested in rooting the device or installing TWRP and in fact i do not want my device warranty voided. But my first priority is extracting safely my data from the phone. So if i need to root the phone to get them it is not a problem even if the varranty vanishes. Being able to bypass the lock screen is a sufficient solution for me now but i do not know how. So please direct me in a best and simplest way and i, as a newbie, will try to understand and search what you advice with my greatest effort.
Thank you all in advance & best wishes

Unfortunately I don't think that there is any way to hack your phone with these conditions... The only think I can tell you is that you can factory reset your phone without paying anyone just from the downloading mode
Didn't Google photos automatically backup your pics and videos?
Thanks for your replies.
I actually do not know if google automatically backup all these content but i guess we did not setup such a back up task. But i will search for it. By the way, there was a google account set on the phone and google's "find my moile" app can reach the phone by locking it or ring the phone. Unfortunately it can not unlock the phone. I am just writing these to give additional info which can direct you all of some useful approach.
Another point is "VolumeUP + HOME + Power" menu has some options. These are:
"Reboot system now" , "Reboot to bootloader" , "Apply update from ADB" , "Apply update from SD card" , "Wipe data / factory reset" , "Wipe cache partition" , "Mount /system" , "View recovery logs" , "Run graphcs test" , "Power off"
Are none of these options, especially "Apply update from ADB" or "Apply update from SD card" , of no use? Can something be done with these? For example when i select "Apply update from ADB" the phone gives the message "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ... and waits for some time. Later "Timed out waiting for package" appears on the screen.
In addition to my previous post, i searched for possible backup of photos and videos on google account and found some, it is a nice news. But my wife was usully using CandyCam application on the phone and unfortunately i could not find any photos or videos bakup taken by CandyCam. I could not find a way for adding the CandyCam photo or video folders in the google backup task via google account remotely(that is outside the phone)(If only i had done it before on the phone itself while everything is fine). Do you think it is possible? Thanks.

Stock recovery is of no use unless you are prepared to wipe/reset the device.
Are you sure you can't use Google's find my mobile?
As far as I'm aware you can reset the lock to a password which you then use on the device. You may have to wait a while for this to happen and reboot.
Also if there is a Samsung account on the device you can unlock with that.
Have you tried entering the wrong pin around 15 times (I think)?
This used to allow you to use Forgot password and enter your Google log in details instead.
Lastly there is a possible way with ADB.
When i firstly used google's find my mobile, i really entered a pin number(temporary password) which i hoped that i would enter it on the phone and the lock would just disappear. But the phone just continued opening with the pattern lock which we already could not pass. During our tries "find my mobile" was able to lock the device, on the screen we entered a symbolic "lost phone" message, we are also able to ring the phone via this application - All of these worked, but pattern lock is still there. After that first attempt, google's password asking or password entering screen(in PC) has not appeared again. So, totally i did not see any kind of password entrance screen on the phone after that samsung's official update.
We did not count but tried many patterns but each time the phone just messaged us to retry after 4 min, 10 min , 30 min and so on... So nothing changed. I agree that after some retries, it should give the user a chance for forgetting the password and trying another method for unlocking the phone but it never show any other than the pattern lock. I wonder why it does not trust fingerprint as my wife was always using. Thanks anyway for sharing your opinions.
I really wonder if this phone's memory should really be wiped out and there is no other way for unlocking it!! Warranty void is not a problem, i just want to see the photos back again. They all belong to my 1-year old son and his birth approximately. So i really do not want to lose anything. I hope you understand my feelings. To tell you the truth, i was just planning a complete backup of all the memories in one place. But actually, i would not guess such a disaster would happen to me. So please do not get angry with me just try to understand me. Thanks again for spending your valuable time on my problem.

I fully understand your predicament. I would be the same.
I take it there is no Samsung account on the device?
I have helped someone remove the pattern lock once before, but this was using a custom recovery which you cannot use.
There is a possibie way with ADB. . However it depends on the firmware you are currently running.
Have you simply tried just reverting the firmware?

Dear ashyx,
Thanks for your reply,
Yes, unfortunately there is no samsung account on the device.
At this moment i think the device has the latest official firmware(by saying firmware, i think you mean what we install or upgrade as the operating system) which samsung published, because my wife accepted the install just a few days ago(about 20.01.2018). I do not know what this upgrade consists of or what version it is. But is it possible to revert back to previous or former releases of firmware in my situation? Can you explain me shortly how i can do this briefly? And of course, if this works - e.i. if i reverted back to a previous firmware, do you think is it going to be useful in my situation?
How should i proceed? Thanks
By the way, i should say that i already downloaded "Android-Multi-Tools-v1.02b.rar" on my PC and in CMD window i ran the software. I connected the phone to the PC and selected "Apply update from ADB" on the phone in recovery mode. As soon as i select "Apply update from ADB" on the phone, my Windows 10 x64 PC gives a sound like "a new device connected or found". You know, it installs the drivers for the device in device manager on PC. I did not install any more driver and left it as it is. Anyway, on android multi tools software, "ADB devices" command did not show me any device connected. I think it is due to developer options not being activated on the phone. All of the tutorials i watched on youtube say that developer options should be activated before using adb commands.
I just wanted to tell about my experiences. But i did not tried "sideload" download. Maybe it is different than what i mentioned above.
What about fastboot mode? One of the tutorial was saying, in order to use adb, i should activate developer options or set the phone to fastboot mode. I could not find any info on how to set fastboot mode?
What about "Apply update from SD card" option on the phone? Can this also be used and be useful for me? Actually this seems more and more possible to me. But i do not know which way to take, which software to install first, second etc..
I know too much questions, many apologizes on this.

Forget about recovery its useless for anything other than official updates or resetting the device.
What build number does it state in recovery?
