      Workaround - LG retail mode

      STEP 1: Check if your LG device type is a RDU or IDU

      1. Go to Settings > About device > Model number
        1. RDU (Retail Demo Unit) - If the Model number is LG-H870V then your phone is RDU
        2. IDU (Inventory Demo Unit) - If the Model number is not LG-H870 (doesn't have V in the Model ID), then your phone is IDU
        3. Example: LG-H870 is a LG G6
