Buy the freegee app in the playstore (only a dollar), its by far the easiest way to unlock.. Make sure you're rooted first though

We always hear the bad in everything, and seldom the good. That being said, there are 100's if not 1000's of people that have rooted and unlocked successfully. But there is always that chance. That's why the disclaimers.
Here's some threads in case you get into trouble.

Yes I used freegee on two devices.. Its only a small percentage of devices that wouldn't work with the app. If by chance your device doesn't work, then you'll have to jump on irc to pick up a specially made version of freegee.. I believe autoprime has it.

Teeny bin 'LGNPST' search it.. It's a unbrick program but it can be used to unlock your lgog without dealing with bricks. Go from there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40169203

Dont Know LOL !!
If you purchase the FreeLG app in the playstore that was created by a couple of devs on here and the Att forum it will install CWM for you and works like a charm. I know none of us are here because we like paying for things but honestly the best money Ive spent for this phone and I was already unlocked when i bought it but the devs worked hard to create it and it is the simplest thing you will ever do.

No. It it's set for at&t partition configuration.
Looks like the developers will work on a TWRP touch recovery.

Hey guys, i want to get the zv8 update since im on zv7 and the keyboard bug is annoying. I have a unlocked bootloader though. Is there a way to relock the bootloader to update? Or should I create a more recent nandroid, use lgnpst to reset it, update, then use custom restore to put just the /data back on?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
FreeGee will relock your bootloader.
If you're using CWM, it depends on how you backed it up. Changed from the default .dup and people claim it work. I know TWRP works because thats what I use.
I'm just not sure you should restore from a backup from zv7 to zv8. I think it'll mess things up.
Or you could just wait. There are some ROM's being released VERY soon. As well as the Zv9 update.
I'd wait for the zv9 flash able zip. Or a ROM based on it
Z8 doesn't fix the messaging problem. Supposedly z9 does but there isn't a root or unlocker for it yet

Well the freegee app from the play store is paid, which someone said is the only way to relock it:/ and the update notification keeps popping up while im texting and such.

Haha. Ah yes, the dreaded camera bug.
If I buy one of the unlock codes from eBay or some 3rd party unlock company, does that unlock on my glide stick intact if I flash cm10 or any other ROM. I've read on other forums that the unlock stays on forever on matter what ROM I flash but I was wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this. Thanks.

Confirmed your phone will remain intact. You might wanna keep the unlock code as I've heard people needing to reapply it in some cases.

Alright I just need the code I get from the unlocking seller and I can keep on using that same code if needed when I flash a different ROM, right?

If you just got your phone, make sure you update it to ZV8 before unlocking.
Your not by chance using sk8erswill' kernel? His causes it also.
