My LG G3 was locked because of McAfee
But i found a way to unlock it and remove the app without PC
Requirements :
-4.4.2 kitkat or you must have rooted version
- and a Charger
Steps :
Turn off your device
Turn it on
Once it finish booting McAfee will take 5-6 secs to load up
At this time you need to unlock your device and go to settings > General as fast as possible . McAfee somehow wont lock your device and you will be able to do whatever you want with your device
Download kingroot
Root your device if your on 4.4.2 (idk if it works on other versions)
After you root your device with kingroot download System app uninstaller and
Uninstall McAfee.
And your done . your phone should be free as a bird after that . and you can reset your phone and do whatever you want
*Notice : you might need to restart and do same steps if your having problems with app installation
*Notice : Playstore might not be able to download apps so you will have to dowload them from your browser

ReplyDeleteDid you ever figure it out? I need help doing it too....
DeleteThis still happens in 2019 (got me a few days ago after downgrading to KitKat; I solved it). Let me reword:
ReplyDelete"At this time you need to go to settings > General before McAfee has time to kick in; McAfee somehow wont lock your device and you will be able to do whatever you want."
I didn't know about his and used another, tedious, technique: simply reboot many times; occasionally McAfee will not aqctivate fully (it makes the device sluggish and interferes), and you can root (I used Towelroot 3, without spyware of Kingroot), stop process (I used System2), and remove it (I used Titanium Backup). All copied ahead of time from PC onto SD card. HTH
Can you help me do that????, do you mean you put this stuff on a sd card, then uploaded it into the phone????, or rooted the phone to fix? I'd be very interested in learning how to do this from a sd card...or any way, but i just bought a lot of 25 lg g3s i need to get the account locks off of...and i don't have a clue how.....thank you for your time
