Hi! I have a friend that has an LG G7 ThinQ. Her husband just recently passed again from COVID and she's wondering if there's any way that she can bypass the lock screen so she can retrieve information from the phone.

The phone is OEM firmware. Any ideas or any specialist that I can refer her to? We are based in Los Angeles, CA.

Thank you very much in advance.

Sorry for ur friend mate.

A lockscreen from LG means that u Will lost all the data if u dont remember this. That says the text from LG before u accept the lockscreen agreement.

The oem software is blocked with encryption that prevents writing to /system and other dependencies. Even worse if the terminal does not have the usb-debuggin enabled, it will not be able to modify anything from fastboot or recovery. The only thing I can think of would be to flash from lgup the partitions that are needed to bypass the lock, but again the data partition I suppose will remain locked by encryption. You should contact LG Electronics to discuss the case as it is something exceptional and they could help you.
