[Help] Bootloader Unlock - LG Optimus G (International)

I recently bought a E987 Argentina edition in Personal. I need to know if I have any way to know if it's safe unlock my bootloader, because I've heard that many device like mine get hard bricked when used freegee and there's no way to revive them.
Thanks for your help and sorry for my english.

I heard about something called KDZ, if my phone get bricked trying to unlock the bootloader, can I use KDZ to revive my phone?

If it's softbricked, yes.

I unbricked mine with KDZ UPDATE.
I recommend you to use the classic mode to unlock the bootloader with FreeGee.

[Q] Bootloader status

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 probably need to unlock the bootloader, both in dev settings and again with fastboot. fastboot will wipe data

It's been a while since I used Fastboot.
Do you know the exact commands to unlock the bootloader?

Regarding root access, this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/root-lg-k10-420ds-t3479902
Explains how tho get root on a similar phone like LG k10 using kingroot. Other members have told me I don't have too unlock my boot loader before attempting too gain root.
Do you know if there is any truth in that?

No you don't need to unlock your bootloader to root your phone. Some devices need it.
I bricked my phone while replacing KingRoot with SuperSu. I don't trust Kingroot, removing KingRoot method for LG K10 for now.

the kingroot method doesn't work for me.. I have k430n (mediatek variant)
i just noticed this new trick which looks promising.. but i haven't tried it yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/twrp-root-lg-k8-k350n-t3475807
If you stop at "Your device ia corrupt... " Just use LG Bridge, works well!
One question is there is that is same for lg k420ds

G4 how to root it? (dont understand whats with bootloader and so)

Hello there, i got an LG G4 h815 few days ago, when ever i get new device first thing i do is root it, and it was always very easy for me.
with this g4 i got problems, try to go to LG website and unlock bootloader, it say i cant cause my device is h815 taiwan, so i read more in google and understand official unlock is only for the euro devices.
so i google more try to understand how can i unlock it unofficially, and found nothing, as well as try to google for a way to root it with out unlock bootloader, and also coulnt find.
im sure im missing something, cause i dont think its possible that there is no root for an old device, any help on how to root my phone?
thanks a head.
Lots of people here have H815 TWN...please can some one make a specific thread for rooting or installing xposed on Taiwanese H815 without the risking of bricking or bootlooping the device...meaning successful rooting ...

unfortunatelly you cant unlocked till today.. maybe later if someone can do it... but you can add root to locked bootloader... i have not tried this method.. i tried similar to h811 tmobile.. but its the same procedure.. mine is unlockacle but i dont want to with the bootloop issue... unlocking bootloader voids warranty. and root too but you can always try the kdz that disables the big cores and undo the root..

thank you, i found the root for locked bootloader, i done it, but its only for 5.1 android, and i still cant flash roms, only one rom witch they make for locked bootloader, so after all the process went back to unroot 6.0 androis >:
hope some1 will break this bootlock .

LG G8 firmware flash

I just purchased a Verizon LG G8 that is unlocked and want to use it on Metro. I haven't gotten the phone yet but I would like to (if it's possible) flash a unbranded firmware. I'm confused about whether I can use LGUP or LG flash tool to do this. Can someone please tell me if this can be done and if so what is the best firmware to flash to have it unbranded with minimal bloat?
I miss the good old days on XDA where people actually came on XDA and there was always someone able to help out. I feel like that doesn't exist anymore. Too many phones and too many different carriers.
I don't think there's a patched LGUP to do this for LG G8 yet.

Holy shiit, someone actually answered my question! That is insane! Thanks for the info man!
Is there a y method that currently works to flash firmware on the LG g8? I would like to flash the stock unlocked carrier unbranded firmware.
There is no way to flash through LGUP or any other tools currently but you can unlock boot-loader root and install firmware package through twrp but doesn't work for T-Mobile or Metro

There is a thread for it and same thing at the g7 thread. Just use octoplus jtag pro to flash the v35 engineering boot-loader to device and from there you can unlock boot-loader and do all the stuff. If you dont have octoplus jtag pro there is a guy who will do it for you he charges i dont know how much though.

LG V30+ download missing, root gone, and bootloader locked

I would like to thank everyone for there support for this most awesome but difficult phone. I have an unlocked US LG V30+ phone which an error in cross flashing accidently caused my phone to loose everything I needed to use LGUP. Does anyone know of an exe rom to flash on this phone to regain download option or a full restore to start fresh to do the rooting the right way? I know some mobile devices have exe for full restore but haven't found one for this phone yet.
Thanks again and I hope for a possible positive answer.

Your bootloader is NOT relocked unless you flashed fastboot command to re-lock it.
Your bootloader is still unlocked.
