hey guys, i just got a lg g5 verizon, and i cant activate it because of the google FRP, i need to find a way to bypass this, i have tried all tutorials i have found about using the accessibility settings menu to watch a youtube video, but this youtube video isn't in the settings, so i cant watch it to open a browser, i also found that when the phone is powered off, and i hold volume down and plugin my usb cable it just loads the battery charging screen, i can hold volume up and plug in the cable and get into download mode, but i cant get the phone into fastboot mode, can anyone help me out, the phone is running vs98730b_01_1008_arb00.kdz, i tried to flash VS98714A_00_0811_ARB00.kdz but it errors out, im thinking i cant downgrade this phone, so im probably stuck.

EDIT "never mind, i was able to downgrade the firmware to an older version and i was able to bypass the google FRP"

It's been a while, but I think I just flashed an older version of the Verizon firmware and I was able to bypass the Google lock. I found a post from someone online that explains how to do it . I was about to pay someone to remote into my PC to unlock it. But I figured it out and saved some cash
