Hey guys,
I have tried to search for this but I couldn't find it anywhere. Can anyone tell me if this means my bootloader is locked or unlocked?
I want it to be locked because I need to send it back to LG for some touchscreen defects, and yes I didn't even take a look of the locked bootloader before unlocking it.
Thanks for helping!

Can you explain please what's wrong with your touchscreen? I experienced some abnormal behaviour with mine too.

Best way to be sure you removed any trace of unauthorized modification is tu use kdz updater and a sdcard wipe,after you backed up all your stuff.

You will never be able to unlock the bootloader on that phone, unless your carrier can give you some kind of code to change your unlock status (not sure this is even possible).

I can get the unlock code not a problem to unlock phone to any network. am already waiting for that from o2 so can use on any network but will this work or is it a septate code that is used for bootloader or somthing

The BL is different, if it came from O2 then chances are you cant unlock the BL.
So there is no chance? It worked with xperia arc and omnius. Costs about 15$, that would be ok. But will it work with our z1c in the near future? Or is it just "luck" to find an exploit?

Well nothing is impossible, but it isn't likely as it requires a bootloader exploit. Realistically it isn't going to happen though, unless some smart people devote a lot of time to it. The most likely scenario (using test point to gain more software access) would require hardware tampering.
Hello Mentalghost,
Unfortunately there is no way to unlock the bootloader when the status is "No".
Have a great day, cheers!

MentalGhost, where did you purchase your phone? This phone isn't sold by any carriers in the USA, to the best of my knowledge, so the bootloader shouldn't be locked.

Bought in UK where I am not in USA. Might take back to shop where bought from and see if got any others in lol
Or wait for locked bootloader versions or someone makes modded version with unlocked rom that is been modded like one where you install modded that is unlocked install and then can unlock bootloader did in xperia s I use to have was a modded rom that was originally saying bootloader unlock no and added new Base rom and then said bootloadr unlock yes maybe this will happen on this phone in time or locked bootloader kernels and rom come along

I'd recommend to anyone that is still able to return a Phone to do so because I think you'll find you'll be waiting a long time for a solution.

Plus, there will be no solution. The reason why Xperia Arc S and other 2011 Xperias worked with testpoint method was because of that there was a big security flaw in the security of the testpoints nand access, but those flaws have been fixed in newer Xperias and newer 2011 Xperias also.

+1 It was coming to that realization that I sold my O2 locked Z after 6 months to buy an unbranded Z1 Compact. It worked out cheaper too spending hundreds of pounds up front for my Phone with the added bonus of having access to all of it.
What happens if you still follow the instructions on how to do it? I didn't check if it was allowed and I'm stuck in bootloop and I can't flash via flashtool,

no but you need the int version to be able to unlock bootloader...if not nothing custom!!!
Nope, I guess
If you unlock the bootloader with lg official tool (makes void the warranty), you can flash everything is available
But, unlocked bootloader screen will be displayed at every boot. So, same bad knox issue for warranty.

Hi guys. I want to remove this warning message when i boot up my phone. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
being able to do this would be great! I tried all the fastboot commands that work on different devices to re-lock the bootloader, flashed the bootloaders again...downgrade to Android 5, uncheck enable EOM unlock in the developer options..tried fastboot commands.. all was in vain...
Any other ideas?

I don't want to relock my bootloader. My goal is just removing this message. Because if the bootloop issue happen to me, sellers will not know that i've unlocked my bootloader. So they will repair my phone for free.
please can any mod close this? Has already been asked and answered. it's not possible! Do a damn search before!
there is not mention of this as far as I sow it anyways...
If you have it then post the link here so we can see it also .
PS: under the same logic we would not try to find a root or bootloader unlock and talk about it because its not currently possible.

If your in the EU and phone is still under warranty, LG will repair defected devices regardless if BL is unlocked as its a known defect. Read this thread.

I live in asia region. I talked with the seller where that i bought (third party shop) and they said that unlocking BL void warranty. That is why i want to hide this message
Then it's a no...you cannot remove message when booting.

I read about a guy saying something like changing the I-M-E-I (dont want to get banned or something) to something else, reboot and then restore it, you should have a relocked bootloader..
it sounds a bit shady but maybe this can actually work...depending on how this unlock is done.

This guy actually relocked the bootloader nice
Hi guys,
I have been researching for weeks and i cant find what guide to use to unlock my lg g4. Is there a guide thats better than others? Its an 815 model and is stock. I want to unlock it and install CM and all that. It was way easier with my old Samsung s3, but the g4 seems confusing?
Thanks
try this.

There is no way to lock to the bootloader again. Once unlocked it's unlocked for good.

Does and Unlocked Bootloader just affect DRM content and Can an Unlocked Bootloader take an OTA or work through LG bridge / LGUP?
I must admit.. I couldnt do it

I returned to stock with LGUP and took OTAs on my previous device when I did the warranty return and didn't have any issues.
