LG Enlighten activation

[andrewdexter]

Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong section wasn't sure, if it is let me know and i can post it in the right section. BUT I work at a cell phone store and put up an lg enlighten on display, and well they decided they would no longer pay to actually activate the phones, and i have been trying for hours now to get past the stupid activation screen on the enlighten, there is no little android guy it starts up and goes to select language then activation so touching the 4 corners doesn't work, and i cant get into recovery mode all that i can get it to do is pop up showing the little android guy out of the box like its factory resetting which well doesn't do me any good. does anyone know how to get past this or is lg just this special?

That's odd, no option to skip activation...

I'm not familiar with LG as I stay away from this company for personal reasons/experiences, but seems like an LG thing. I've skipped the activation process on my OG Droid with no service and have done so as well with my Incredible.

Yea its really weird, its pointless for me to even have a phone on display if all it says, is press send for activation.
Thank you though!

If you’ve recently purchased a LG Enlighten, but haven’t had a reason to activate it on Verizon’s network, then use this simple set of instructions to bypass that first screen and enjoy it as a wi-fi only device.

1. Press “Volume Up.”
2. Press “Volume Down.”
3. Press the “Back” button.
4. Press the “Search” button.
5. Enjoy!

At what point am i suppose to press those four buttons because at the activation screen where it asks me for a language, it does absolutely nothing.

OMG Thank You!!!

I accidentally reset my phone after I cancelled the service and it wouldnt let me get into my ohone without activating. I just wanted an extra device to mess around with but I couldn't do it. But thanks to you now I can!!!

can't bypass activation

I did the same thing and reset the Enlighten after it was no longer activate. How exactly did you activate the phone. The process above is not working for me. Thanks
