Does the LG G3 has the same issue where if you unlock the bootloader the camera's drivers get worse?

Have you searched or read any threads that regard this issue? Personally, I have seen absolutely no one mention this.
So far none. For the Xperia, Sony's guide says rooting will definitely lower the quality, but I can't find anything definitive like that for the LG G3.

There is no known way of unlocking bootloader on G3. Everyone who says that bootloader has been unlocked do not understand the difference between "bypass" and "unlock". Codefire team only bypassed bootloader's security via their "BUMP" method, they hadn't unlocked the bootloader. No changes have been made to loader itself, so there is no effect on camera or smthing.
In Sony's case, issuing "fastboot oem unlock" wiped some certificates from internal memory. They were used by camera software for some post-processing algorithms. Nothing like that here.

I remember us being able to attain root using the Optimus 4XHD root tool, then I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007961
Does anyone with more technical knowledge than I have think that there is a possibility deep within there to obtain a straight bootloader unlock method for the p930s? I've been stuck on Stock ICS with a locked bootloader since July because so far none of the unbricking methods will work for my phone (tried on Vista 64, 7 32/64, XP Pro/64 and 8)
No one is going to invest any time trying to figure out how to unlock the locked bootloader when you can just flash an older KDZ and avoid the issue altogether.
Your phone is not special. If you're having a problem downgrading, you're just doing something wrong.

Drumist, I always enjoy reading your comments. Thanks for being active here.
Hi,
i wan't to know if you may know why there are only few dev or kernel/roms for the LG G3 even if from what i've noticed the G3 is very popular?
P.S. I've seesn right now that the bootloader is locked, i don't know what does it mean exacltly but it seems to stop dev's, but aren't out there unoffical bootloader unlocking methods?
Unfortunately, LG didn't provided any official method to unlock bootloader. Developers are spending dozens of hours every day to find a bug and unlock bootloader using it. If you have locked bootloader then you cant flash any custom ROM like CM11 etc.

I hate LG for making such a perfect device that you even not hack, they're cruel, and maybe masochists because the avalibility of custom roms and customization of a device is one of the android's best features, so if the device would be unlocked it will increase their sales.
Hello all. I have been reading the forums about the LG G4 and want one of these phones with an unlocked bootloader so I can install custom roms. It seems very difficult and confusing to find one with the right options to unlock. Anyone care to clarify what I need? As far as I can tell, I should be looking for a "factory unlocked H815" which should allow me to access the fastboot option to unlock the bootloader? If thats right, then any factory unlocked H815 from eBay should do it? Also, the H815 is the model that can take up to 2tb of SD card right? Thanks in advance.

Theres the list... if you on america use h811 tmobile.. unlocking bootloader will not be cover by warranty.. and some phone get bootloop stay away from phones made in 2015.. ask for manufacturing date..
Hi,
I'm really interested in buying the new Z2 play, however I've noticed that unlocking bootloader means loosing the warranty.
So, is there a way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader?
No. Probably never will be.

I remember that there were some tools for Samsung mobiles like Towelroot which rooted the phone without triggering knox/unlocking bootloader.
It could be also useful to relock the bootloader and find a way to hidden the boot notification of unlocked device.

Towelroot is a very old exploit, and newer protection measures along with FRP make it extremely difficult if not possible at this point to unlock/relock the bootloader from Android itself.
Besides, I'm fairly sure Moto service centers will still take your phone regardless of the bootloader status given that it is a defect that is unrelated to the user (ie: ghost touches, screen burn, etc.).
Is this phone impossible to root or is there just a lack of interest in figuring out a way to unlock the bootloader? I love this phone but really miss the freedom I had on previous devices to install certain apps and run different roms. I've never had a device that has been out this long without a root available.
I guess what I'm asking is if I should consider going to a different device if there isn't a way to unlock the bootloader in sight or stick it out because it'll happen in the near future.

So far, no way to root it yet, I am stuck on the Sprint G7 myself and currently fighting with Sprint to allow me to swap to another device. I know it wont work but at least I am voicing my dissatisfaction of this device with the lack of timely updates (still on November security). If I had known now when I went to Sprint back then, I would have never chosen the LG G7. The phone itself is decent, hardware is good but lack of root, lack of bootloader unlock, and lack of timely updates make the device unusable in my opinion.
I personally am hoping I or someone else can find an exploit for ROOT and eventually bootloader but so far, not much traction has been made in that department.
I have a g710pm, running Android 8.0.0
I see in developer options there is a selection that says, "Enable OEM Unlock" wouldn't that unlock the bootloader?

Nope it will not limited fast boot won't let you run the command its basically useless
You can take a look at my post, there are all the models in my country to unlock BL and ROOT, but only in the hands of a few people, they do not intend to share this, and through this to get benefits, they provide remote unlocking and ROOT services , but need to pay, which is expensive for me, I don't know English, sorry, the reply is translated by Google...
Hey everyone! As I had said earlier, the rumors are true, most G7 variants can be bootloader unlocked. I searched many Chinese websites that had already shown rooted G7 phones but showed no clear methods besides "remote unlock services". Now the method is known! The engineering bootloader from a very unique AT&T V35 V35AWM model (abl_a and abl_b) is flashed via an Octoplus box on the G7 when in QDLoader 9008 mode. This guy from Ukraine motogvasyag posted his methods on 4pda.ru and are now on XDA here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/to-unlock-bootloader-root-models-t3928505
Please check out the thread, and do donate if you can. He is doing these Octoplus flashes for free.
**This method won't work on T-Mobile model (G710TM and others). I'll still be on the lookout for any T-Mobile methods.**
