It's the deal breaker for me. Will the G4 like the G2 and G3 have a locked bootloader? The phone itself looks great but if LG do this again, they can forget it.

I am afraid now a days you will have to look at the M9 or Nexus if you want an unlocked boot loader. Of course it will just be a matter of time before that will be bypassed like on the G2 & G3.

My Note 4 came with an unlocked bootloader and my Z2 last year was unlockable. I had the G3 for a month and gave up with it as it took too long for a work around.
I was talking about an across the board unlocked, not dependent on variant/carrier, etc. Those two are the only ones besides any "Google Play Edition" phones, which I haven't seen with the current generation,by which are going to be factory unlocked. Good luck in your search.

Well, I won't buy one until we have definitive proof it can be unlocked. The fact you don't have total control of a product you own and buy is crazy.

If you guys are comparing locked bootloader in the G4 to the G2, please note the G2 was rooted and had development going almost immediately.

Actually, that is for bootloader unlock. It is a feature of lollipop. I am surprised to see it outside of nexus however. Checking that option does not unlock your bootloader, rather it is a security setting to allow the process to happen. With Nexus, you must check this option before you can use "fastboot oem unlock". It has also been the cause of many soft and hard bricks on the Nexus 6.

It should work best with an R800x, considering that Fastboot is not locked on them.

This is the method I used to unlock my bootloader in 2 xperia plays. I used xda member jinx13 who unlocks phones to play it safe as AT&T has extra lock from what I heard. It was strange to me to use paperclip on testpoint & negative terminal like that, but it worked twice.

Nice. Makes me wonder if it the guys who charge for the service use this exact method, and pretty much got paid $25 to connect to your computer and clicked a few clicks while you pretty much did all the physical part yourself. Lol and the "credits" was a lie and they made 100% profit from it. They probably LOL'd every time they looked at their PayPal accounts.

Im pretty sure it wasn't a scam. AT&T really had extra lock on bootloader. Where it tells you to push *73xxxxxx*(whatever it says), my phone said "bootloader unlock-NO." At least that's what I think. It was a while back. But either way this method had not been released to public & I had less risk of damage to phone by having some help.

Thing is guys this STILL doesnt unlock the FASTBOOT which is necessary to flash custom kernels on our beloved XPLAYS...it just unlocks the god damn bootloader..hence those with locked still need to resort to that paid unlock service to get our FASTBOOTS unlocked...because an unlocked bootloader is as good as a damn locked one if the damn fastboot is still locked...excuse me there for my english !

I tried it and nothing happens. All s1tools said after pressing "testpoint READY" for the second time was "START NAK 03000A , elapsed time 60 secs." and then nothing.

Same here. I posted on the thread with my log, asking what is happening with it, and if R800x is supported...
It truly blows my mind how often these threads come up. If there was a way to flash custom kernels for free, everyone would do it and no one would pay. Why do you have to pay? To get credits that aren't any "free'er" to anyone else in the world. I don't get it, you tell someone their options, you point them in the right direction then they end with, ya, but can you do it for free? No, you can not. We need a sticky, this is ridiculous...

This was just to discuss if the free methods from other Xperias worked with ours. I am well knowledged that there currently is no free method.
Sent from R800x
But its been discussed before, and with a title like that you know people who arent as well knowledge in the XPlay are going to swarm in thinking they found that free unlock that everyone keeps hiding from them because unlocking is free and its all a conspiracy with people getting rich over pressing a button... or something to that effect. Personally Im tired on posting it over and over, and Im even more tired of those same people ignoring posts because they believe people are lying when they say you cant do it for free.

I believe he just has a normal, "locked up tight", H815 model. Just because it was won does not mean it is any different than the normal H815 that I own which cannot be unlocked either. There are different models for different countries and you need to look for the country code to determine if it's the EU variant, which it looks like it is not as it would have been sold in that area anyways. I think you just have the standard H815 like many of us do, and it's NOT unlockable, which is why you are getting that message at LG dev.

Is there a future forecast for custom ROM support for the LG G4. I'm thinking about buying the G4, but I'm not sure. The custom ROM community for the G3 is great. Do you guys think that in about a year or so the G4 custom ROM community is also very active?
Only few variants of G4 got bootloader unlocked for now. The rest are having to stay with stock ROMs. If you want to customize your phone consider buying a G4 variant that can get bootloader unlocked. Or get a Nexus

how about locked bootloader for 70% of the variants and loosing warranty for the other 30%.
i never unlocked my bootloader on S3/Note1/4 but i could install ROMS even with the less open Exynos phones has better support that this locked down, horrible DPI, fantastic camera, average battery G4. of course this is my mistake for trying out a LG phone, should have waited a month and got the Note 5 or simply went with S6 Edge.
I don't think it's a mistake to have chosen a LG phone. In my opinion, it's a very good phone with two issues: two high resolution (no one needs a higher resolution on a 5,5 inch phone than Full HD in my opinion) and therefore a weak battery...but besides, I think it's great. And hey, CM exists though and that's just not that bad at all.
How can I be sure that the bought - or yet to buy - LG G4 is bootloader unlocked? I'm thinking about buying the G4 at a web-shop in the Netherlands. I contacted the technical department of the web-shop and they told be that most of the models are bootloader unlocked. But they gave no guaranty. They said it is impossible to look at the model number beforehand.
Is there a site available where you can check the model number if it is bootloader unlocked or not.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks my man. I did see you're recommendations, but thing the is that the phone's mentioned by you are far more expensive compared to the G4. There is a offer where you can buy the phone for € 359,- and you get a voucher worth of € 75,- that you can use at the bigger warehouses here in the Netherlands. So that's kind of a no-brainer compared to the purchase price of the Note 5 or Nexus 6p.
The only thing that's keeping me worried is the custom ROM community. Some people mentioned that if the bootloader is unlocked you're free to flash custom ROMs. But how interested is it for programmers to invest there time in the G4?
i dont know what a voucher is lol and googled it got nothing
anyway the boot-loader thing is really annoying and LG is giving no promises about it so its not promising to get an unlockabale version
i have h815p and whatever customization I do on stock it can never be compared to custom kernel and rom
so you must be sure of the model you buy to be unlock able
Good luck

Or maybe comes bootloader locked but a code will be provide it by google to unlocked it everywhere but verizon.

I sure do hope the bootloader is able to be unlocked on vzw i like having the option even if i dont use it
sticky shi..., bootloader must be unlocked, especially for that price.
Anyway, I do not need Android phone without root.
There's a statement from Deutsche Telekom answering a query from a German tech blogger that Pixels bought via that provider will also be bootloader not unlockable.
I still doubt that cause they haven't done that before. We'll see and cross our fingers...

Hello everyone. I think this might be a good sit to ask my question. My wife is using the pixel xl on Verizon, I have it unlocked, rubbing dirty unicorn, and has not been touched firmware/rom wise since almost a year ago. I have been using my OP3T and need help updating her firmware, radio, modem, ROM and ask that jazz... Backups abs restores are funny I remember that, but not specifics. Please, can someone point me in the right direction so that I can get her phone up to date as painless as possible... I'm so sorry for the lazimess on my end, this device turned out to be very complicated when it came to modding, and I have a newborn baby so I can't commit tree time to scour the forms, not to mention? Wife dies not like to be without a phone.... We are on Verizon (Fi was awful) so maybe a return to stock and keep BL unlocked, then root... do you still use boot-to-root? Or will magdisk work? Magdisk.zip did not flash for me. I hour someone understands this post abs is kind enough to respond.

Look at the first screenshot. By the unlock slider it says 'bootloader is already unlocked'.
Now how in the hell did he get so darn lucky? I've been wanting to unlock my bootloader since I got my Verizon pixel XL since October... Wtf? Not fair.. ? anyways.. I'm still willing to contribute to the exploit of bootloader unlock for something more recent to work... Shame the depixel8 exploit team didn't want to 1up and find us another way.
Dollar short, day too late I suppose... But anyone having an idea to get this done please PM me or post us something....please!!!!!?

?????? How were you not able to unlock the bootloader, did you mean 2016 October or 2017 October? I got my Pixel XL on January 2017 from Verizon and was able to unlock the bootloader.
Unfortunately it was October 2017.
I just wish I could figure it out myself.. you'd think some HTC tool would work maybe since it's made really by HTC and not Google technically. Anyway, someone up for the challenge? Any takers? Please? Lol
