Hello Developers, again I need assistance. I have decided to put a T-Mobile SIM into the LG H815 that I got from LG, but ran into an issue trying to get the Unlock Bootloader from LG. The site says I cannot get the .bin because I am in the US but I have heard you can root the phone to access the bands that are inaccessible, ie. band 12. Can anyone help be figure a work around for this? Thanks in advance.
The bootloader unlock doesn't go by your physical location. It goes by your IMEI and specific model. Not all the H815s can be unlocked. Which do you have?

It is the LG H815 with VX10b-EUR-XX software. It is the testers LG gave away a few moths ago.
The EU version should be able to have the bootloader unlocked. It say so on LG's developer site..

Hi, on the 'Unlock' thread, some people where having your problem and resulted that it was happening because the phone was actually a US version. Have a read http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-t3125162/page19

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.

How can I debrand my LG G4?
where can I find the original no brand firmware for uk?
and how to flash it?
if someone can help, I really aprreciate.
Can I use something like this on a T-Mobile version?
You'll have to wait for the bootloader to get unlocked. Each phone will only allow your carrier-specific firmware to be flashed with the locked bootloader, which is why only the international version has root for now.

I have the H815 version, so I think it is possible to unlock the bootloader, right?
But then where can I find the firmwares? for Samsung is very easy because there is the samfirmware, but for LG?
Where to find a guide to do it?
thanks
Nobody can help?
Carrier versions can not be unlocked at the moment
I'm so sad to have taken this phone and not the s6......
marko68, the G4 only came out last week in the UK unfortunately you'll have to wait a few weeks because features you request start to appear. The S6 has been out quite a bit longer.
Yep a bit of patience is all that's required

I unlocked my bootloader to try CM13, but I'm not happy. Now I can't find any guides or pages that explain how I can revert my phone back to original state (bootloader locked)? Can't sell this phone when the device unlocked text is on the boot screen
Plese don't respond if you just tell me to google or search, because I did that...

There is no way to lock to the bootloader again. Once unlocked it's unlocked for good.

You can easily sell if the bootloader is unlocked btw, I've sold loads of devices with an unlocked bootloader.

Does and Unlocked Bootloader just affect DRM content and Can an Unlocked Bootloader take an OTA or work through LG bridge / LGUP?
I must admit.. I couldnt do it

Yep, DRM content is fine, I've not encountered anything that doesn't work.
I returned to stock with LGUP and took OTAs on my previous device when I did the warranty return and didn't have any issues.

Hi.
I have just purchased a used h815 and when I went to unlock via the official lg website, I was informed that my phone was a US variant, and unlock was not available.
I'm currently running 20h.. is there any way at all given the locked bootloader to
A) get root access?
B) install cm13?
If the answer is no.. i think I'll be sticking this back on eBay...
Thanks!

In the about setting of the phone, it is showing model H815, In LG Bridge it is showing LGF500L, On the phone box there is no model written and after removing the battery it is showing H811 model. Can somebody tell me which is the correct model of my phone?
Now I flashed the LGF500L tot using LG flash tool and updated my phone to nougat using LG Bridge. Now In about phone, the model has been changed from H815 to F500L
I want to unlock the bootloader and want to install the TWRP for custom ROM. The problem is I can't boot/reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode.
I have tried the hardware key combination and "adb reboot bootloader" but didn't get success, Every time the phone just restarts.
Is there any solution?
Also, the root permission has gone after updations.
So, in short I have 2 Questions/problems, please help me if you know any answer. I will be highly thankful to you
Ques 1: What is the actual model of my phone? (Edit: Solved, see reply #4)
Ques 2: How to open bootloader or fastboot mode so that I can unlock it?

Thanks, @patilkalpesh for the screenshot.
F500L is written on my phone motherboard.
See attached image.
Currently, I am using F500L30b (nougat) version.
I can't boot into bootloader, the phone just restarts if I try to boot into bootloader (fastboot) mode. Please please solve this problem so that I can unlock the BL.

Can you tell me, why all USSD codes are not working?
for example: If I type *#06# then nothing happen or if I try any other ussd code then also nothing happen.

Yes dude being afraid makes totally sense and is for a good reason.
The risk is high, you can loose a lot or win a lot. Up to you..

Those codes are ROM dependent and you're using a brand new version (nougat for your device is just a few weeks old)
Maybe try
*#*#06#*#*
##06##

Can you check your anti rollback please? I don't know if the f500 has it implemented but that could be the reason.

thats very good (and so not the issue)
try to use an USB 2.0 port if u currently using a 3.0 one.. sounds still strange to me but I saw that error related to the usb port somewhere.
Besides that it could be likely a wrong msm DLL issue or you're just following the wrong guide.
I think this one should work for you too:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
otherwise do a search on this error like here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/3107848?query=0x2000
I would recommend better asking in the above thread for further help is better than going on in this thread here (has nothing to do with your original question btw... )
