I sold a g3 to a scammer but recently got it back and i want to unlock and get there info from the phone for the cops, how do i bypass the knock code? Can i extract the data to a pc? usb debug is disabled
You cant.
You can go through knock code, but it will ask you the password so you will get stucked there.
Without losing everything from the phone you cant bypass it.
Is it unlocked and rooted? You can access some of the raw data through a custom recovery and adb...

I already had it rooted and it's unlocked but i reset it before sending it, does that unroot? I just checked and i see it doesn't, do you guys know any way to bypass the lock for a rooted lg g3 ?

I've tried several threads here and none is working.
I did all the downgrade, still not working.
Please help.
Try running the unofficial bootloader unlock tool... I used it on 174 update with no problems... Just remember to have developer settings active and USB debugging ticked...
Remember, unless you like the white ASUS start screen you'll need to flash the normal black bootscreen again using fastboot...
The official Asus bootloader unlock tool is also handy and I think works for newer versions, though if your phone is still under warranty, you can't hide that you've unlocked your bootloader using the official one because it contacts Asus's servers, unlike if you use the unoffical one, you may still be able to keep your warranty, but that's not guarantee. You can always flash the stock black splash screen to hide it in case you need to return your phone for repair.
You can download the official unlock tool here

I just tried to unlock the bootloader and it said "unlock failed". I downloaded the tool from Asus website and made sure USB Debugging was on. I'm running 2.20. Is it possible to unlock the bootloader???
Thanks
Hi Everyone;
I have a few questions:
I am trying to unlock the bootloader for my nephews LG G4 but it seems like there is no way of doing it.
I followed the official method, entered the IMEI number and the DEVICE ID but I get a warning that they do not match and that we have X tries remaining before device gets locked. Right now it's sitting at 7 more tries remaining.
He had the bootloop issue a few months ago (phone wasn't unlocked or rooted or anything), sent it to LG, they fixed it and sent it back. The only explanation I can find is that the DEVICE ID doesn't match the IMEI number anymore because of them changing hardware? I really don't understand why the official method doesn't work or keeps saying that Device ID does not match your PHONE!
Anyway, I tried to root without unlocking the bootloader, and that didn't work either.
Is there a way to unlock this damn device without the official method?
If there isn't... Does using the One-Click-Root method work with this phone? He doesn't want to pay $80 AUD not knowing whether or not it will work...
Also all of this, just to fix the GPS Locking problem that HOPEFULLY would work if we change ROMS. Is there a way to fix the GPS problem without unlocking, rooting, and changing ROMS?
Send mail to LG about yours problem, they will send unlock bin
I had the same problem

nope... just sitting with an unlocked bootloader and waiting for someone to root it.. im a noob and i've experimented with many root tools but none of em worked cos of the forced encryption of data partition. i couldn't wipe it with twrp.. there's a guide for LG G5 on how to disable forced encryption, but it doesn't work for our phone.. "http://www.droidorigin.com/root-lg-g5/". i hope someone can adapt it for our phone and finally somehow root it..

I posted a rooting guide for LG K10 420DS. Try that!
How did you get your bootloader unlocked?
Surely root for the LGAS992 cannot be that hard...just need someone with knowledge to take the time.

Enable developer options and enable usb debugging. Then make sure the oem unlock option is enabled.
connect pc to phone.
//*Backup your data first. It resets your phone*//
# adb reboot bootloader
# fastboot oem unlock
//*Follow instructions on your mobile phone*//
Done. Now its unlocked and your phone will say, "your phone is corrupted and may have been tampered" everytime you reboot
:silly:

Hi, I have a LG G4 H815 on Lollipop and I want to unlock it's bootloader to root it and flash an update and do other stuff. I want to try to unlock the bootloader the official way but whenever I go into the developer options and press the 'Enable OEM Unlock', it gives me a warning and I tap Ok but the slider still stays at the off position and it stays disabled
I really want to flash some stuff on it because some of the stock LG stuff is pretty crappy. Thanks in advance!
Try to soft reset your device and try after that

I don't have a slider. It's just a tick box. Try updating to the latest version first or reset your phone completely. All your files are wiped anyway when unlocking the bootloader so you have nothing to lose in trying these.

I tried updating my phone to Marshmallow using the LG Flash tool with a kdz but the tool was having its own problems. It kept saying that it couldn't connect to server. I tried a lot of other methods to upgrade to Marshmallow but they didn't work. Do the flash tools need the bootloader to be unlocked too?

Without root or an unlocked bootloader, you can only use official root tools. I don't think your software version matters too much. Just do the full factory reset. There's no reason not to try doing this as bootloader unlocking does a factory reset itself.
I have also tried everything on my lg g4 on marshmallow...but can't turn on the oem unlock tick...
Any solutions
I tried factory reset too but still, not switching :'(

I got the same issue as yours here...and cannot even flash some Stock Rom on this "H815" model.....is your phone a refurbished model from Aliexpress? (as I suspect something here)
Dear all
After spending 3 days searching on the net, I found the way :
"Just purchased a LG G4 (H815). I'm in the process of unlocking the bootloader, and have been following LG's official instructions. However, I am having trouble performing step 8 of this guide:
"Enable OEM unlock on your phone. Activating the "Enable OEM unlock" is necessary for the bootloader unlock. To enable OEM unlock, go to Settings >> Developer options and check Enable OEM unlock."
Going into developer options and tapping on "Enable OEM unlock" returns the pop up message "WARNING: Device protection features will not work on this device while this setting is turned on. CANCEL ENABLE". After checking ENABLE, the pop up goes away, and I can see the checkmark box is checked for less than a second, and then it goes back to being unchecked on its own. Can anyone explain this?
Also, if instead of tapping CANCEL or ENABLE on the pop up, I click off of the pop up, the pop up goes away and the box will stay check marked until I interact with something else. Entering adb reboot bootloader from here though still does nothing sadly.
UPDATE: I had to download LG Bridge, connect my phone and use LG Bridge to search for a software update (H81520H) that my LG G4's update center was not finding for some reason. After the update, I had an update android security patch level, and could enable my OEM Unlock!"
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
LG Bridge doesn't solve the thing for me, it says "Your phone is up to date" ... I installed and removed LG Bridge a few times and even tried to update it. And even tried the "Update error recovery" (blue text on the bottom right of the window), still with no success.
Still no access to Fastboot for me, even if Adb sees in device when prompting the command "adb devices".
This "H815 20o" software version I got (from stock rom, refurbished phone, with this insane locked bootloader) is driving me nuts for 3 days now...
Up,
If anybody ever got the same issue, any help is very welcome!
Problem solved with uSu and SALT

Hello everyone
I'm stuck in a horrible situation here if someone might be able to help would be a great help.
So basically I want to Unlock my phones bootloader but it happens to be that the Phone network is broken, I mean there is some issue with the motherboard where even If you insert a Sim it shows No SIM as. So I've been using this device just for surfing Yt and stuff.
So when I try to unlock the bootloader by going into the Developer option > Unlock Status and it needs a SIM card inserted to add device and account.
Is there a work around to bypass this.
What I have tried so far using MI unlock tool but it throws error.

after long time searching and tryng out both official and non official methods for unlocking bootloader, or at least bypass it I find this method which was 100% perfectly worked and made me able to flash any other custom rom or recovery
