The first LG Phoenix device came out in 2011 with Android 2.2 Froyo. Fast forward to 2020 and we have the latest LG Phoenix 5 with Android 10 out of the box. The phoenix series offers entry-level budget android smartphones. It currently retails for just $49 at Walmart & Target.
What are our options if locked out on Phoenix 5 due to a forgotten lock screen pin, pattern, or password? The only way to recover the phone is by doing a hard reset via recovery mode. However, during this kind of reset, Google’s factory reset protection comes into effect.
In this post, we are going to learn how to bypass Google verification on LG Phoenix 5 using the latest 2020 hack –
After resetting my Phoenix 5 via recovery mode, I’m on the First Page of the setup wizard i.e. the Welcome Screen.
Let’s proceed using the forward button.
This brings us to the “New second screen” page.
Set the new second screen with or without a notch and hit “Next”.
To proceed further, we need to connect to the internet.
My phoenix 5 is connected to the Home Wifi network.
Now it’s checking for updates. We need to wait for a while.
To skip the “Copy apps & data” page, I’ve selected the “Don’t copy” option.
This brings me to the pattern lock screen. I don’t remember the pattern lock so I need to choose the 2nd option “USE MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT INSTEAD”.
We have landed on the LG Phoenix 5 Google verification page. It’s asking to sign in with the last synced Google account on this device.
Let’s use the latest 2020 2021 hack to bypass this FRP (Factory reset protection) screen on LG Phoenix 5 –
