Hi,
I recently tried to unlock the bootloader on my LG G4 H815, (UK Model under Virgin phone plan). When I followed the LG site instructions and entered my IMEI number and then the bootloader Device ID, their website tells me that the UK Virgin model can't be unlocked.
Has anyone else tried a phone from Virgin UK and had the same results? I thought all EU versions were unlockable, I guess not.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Vince

It is stated over and over again: Only the H810 European OPEN Market version can be unlocked and TMo is unlocked by default, every other carrier is locked and at the current date will stay locked for eternity until someone finds a unofficial unlock method.
Well excuse me.......It's just that most of the threads I've read have said the H815 EU version is the only one to be unlocked. Obviously my mistake!
The H815EU and the T-Mobile H811 are the unlocked versions.
The H810 is the US AT&T version and it is most certainly not unlocked.

Are you absolutely positive it is the H815 EU open market version? If so, you might need to contact LG to see what they have to say.

Guys i got my phone stolen a S5 which i recently unlocked, i was so happy after unlock it but... life sucks sometimes.
I want to know if it is possible to unlock the bootloader, offcially or nonoffcially, and if it is which version should i look for? build? Company?
ETC? and which models should i avoid. Thanks!
Eu h815 unlocked .... This one is bootloader unlockable
h811 can be unlocked too.
generally only the single sim g4 can be unlocked. h815 difference is that it can keep warranty even after unlocking.

Except in this case the EM version is the only one aside Italian TIM version which can currently be unlocked.
You don't have to take our word for it, check supported devices and see for yourself.

EM version is not international, it's European market version. It's available only for European markets so it's understood that it can be unlocked, each and every LG model in Europe were able to unlock up from G4
International are those versions which are selling outside of USA and European markets, namely for Africa+ AME, CIS, SEA, Latin AM
the Latin g5 840 doesn't even have the same 820 chip it's the 652 I guess jcadduono was wrong to when he made the International version twrp for 850 I included a pic so we can start working together on root also nimax rom we worked hard and had to drop the international version because ceaser or I had the International version we went to 20m 2 updates
I know the EM can be rooted, but is someone working on a bootloader unlock for the other G7 models?
I got in touch with TMobile to see if their version would be bootloader unlockable. They gave me the run around, told me to contact LG who hasn't responded. One thing I did manage to get out of TMobile was a firm denial that they requested the device remain locked its likely apathy on the part of LG holding us back at this point. ?I haven't dug into mine yet because I have more interesting unlocked devices to work on
Giving that the only European models can be unlocked most likely not but maybe a bug in the future.
Have saw a AWM model which flash to EM model and get its bootloader unlocked on a second hand trading website in China. The seller said he flash the EM firmware and change the IMEI in order to unlock his phone "officially"
I'm eagerly waiting for the US unlocked G710ULM. If this variant is unlocked, why didn't LG unlocked bootloader?, it's been almost 4 months of no news from LG. .Why giving special status to unlocked European models , since LG V30? If that's the case then LG G6 US997 could be the last US model enjoying root?

LG Up 1.15 is out there, but we don't have a working common. DLL file. The V40 has one, maybe that will work, but either way it's risky. Reading that the V35 lost radio signal when crossflashed.
Let's wait patiently. Don't try, it is very possible you will be able brick your BEAUTY!
I'm just fine with latest 11m update which brings 4K 60 fps Super Steady Mode. Also incredible battery life. 9 hours with 13% left.

Using LG V50 Korean KT version in UK (LM-V500N)
Hi All,
I have the LG V50 Korean KT version LM-V500N and have been using it in the UK on the Vodafone Network. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to connect to the 5G service.
Does anyone know if there is a limitation or incompatibility on this version as the reason it doesn't work with 5G?
My SIM is and 5G coverage is ok as I have also used a Samsung 5G and it works with my SIM.
I haven't yet tried an EE 5G SIM to see if it works on that network.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

EE doesnt work also.How is the korean version ?I am thinking to buy one from wonda.
Thanks for confirming EE 5G doesn't also work. I went to an EE shop and asked them to check if my V50 would work by inserting a 5G SIM but they refused. Most unhelpful staff.
I really like the V50, upgraded from V30 which I also really liked. Only problem is some KT specific menu are still Korean language.
There is one menu called GIGA 5G when enabling asks for KT SIM to be inserted.
Once it is possible to crossflash with open Europe firmware might fix this I hope. Also maybe 5G in Europe?
Thanks

You can try with lgup 1.16.0.3 and common dll 1.40. This LGUP does not permit for korean crossflashing, we dont know for EU/Australia. Try it using refurbished.
Well it can't be done.
Very disappointed I brought this to replace my note 9 and I cannot believe lg is still on July patch. At the moment they are a big joke in the phone world.
Does anyone one believe it will get more updates.
I have seen some one using Chrome across both screens like a tablet but can't work out how.

It should be way past July patch by now. Other people have received more updates than you
That's what I thought but I guess Australia doesn't rate.
They won't even allow me to put a European firmware on it. Also thought seperate keyboard on one screen was std .

DM me your number? Lets chat over it?
Hello, I am soon to be new to the one plus scene, and had a few questions.
I got the factory unlocked 7t and plan on using it on tmobile. Am I going to have rcs messaging? Will it be limited in any way? Also I have read that you can flash to international from tmobile but can you go the other way? And final question going either way does it require root or anything or because they are stock images they work fine?
From what I can tell from where I purchased it says HD1907 which is the tmobile variant(or should be?) Listing and reviews say confirm getting the HD1907, and its factory unlocked without branding. Can it be branded? And I should be fine and able to go to international/de-brand if I decide to later?
Welcome to the OnePlus 7T, it's a great phone!
I suggest reading through this guide to flash from T-Mobile to Global: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/guide-t-mobile-brand-conversion-to-t4019495
It will walk you through the entire process of flashing your phone and (if needed) rooting it as well.
Personally, I'm a big fan of the All-in-One Tool found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t4103515
It does just about everything you could need in terms of flashing, rooting, returning to stock, etc.
No matter which guide you choose, both forums are very active and should be able to help you if you run into any issues.
In regards to the RCS messaging, you should be fine but don't hold me to that. I typically use Google Voice but I know that Google Messages supports RCS on T-Mobile.

First thanks for the quick response, as a past dev im familiar with xda and have been looking through the 7t section including those and im starting to getting familiar. Thanks for the recommend!
I suppose the question I still don't get is the listing is for a tmobile unbranded so does that mean its on global or not? is it on us, not global, but just not branded but other wise 99% similar to branded just lacks carrier apps? Is there a step in between carrier branded and global? Does tmobile varient + unbranded just means it has the straight from OP firmware? If thats the case does that mean it can accept the tmobile branded firmware? I know everyone is like go global it seems but just for the sake of understanding I want to know since its tmobile varient hardware can it go back from OP updates(if thats what its on) to tmobile? and still be bootloader locked?
seems like there is several steps
carrier branded > carrier unbranded(straight from OP?) > global
However the update on OP's site doesn't list a different global download? How do global users get the update? or am i missing that theres a us site section and a non us site section?
There are a few definite ways to find out:
Model Number: the T-Mobile version is HD1907. I have the International version (HD1905) which has dual sim slots (the T-Mobile version only has 1 sim slot available)
Is there a T-Mobile splash-screen
Are there any T-Mobile (pre-installed) apps
If you have the T-Mobile version, it will never have the original OP software unless you flash the International ROM.
It sounds to me like it's a T-Mobile version (HD1907) that's been unlocked and (probably) flashed to the International (global) ROM (which will get you the official OnePlus software as it comes without the T-Mobile carrier bloat, which is really pretty minimal. I think it was 2 apps when I had the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T).
If you decide to re-lock the bootloader, I'm almost 100% sure that you must be back on the original software that the phone shipped with. So if it's a T-Mobile version, you must flash the T-Mobile ROM before you re-lock the bootloader.
No matter which software you have, it's really pretty easy to go from one to the other, especially with the All-in-One tool.
Personally, I prefer the International ROM (or their Beta Channel) because of faster security updates.

So as long as it is infact a HD1907 I can use the builds here to go back to this models stock and then bootloader lock? would this be the best way to do so?
Edit: so the about info says HD1907 it didn't say tmobile when i started it the sim tray hold 1 sim. (just arrived) so I should be able to put it back on tmobile branded and lock the bootloader yes? I didn't actually confirm that its bootloader unlocked but im assuming since about info says its tmobile but appears to not be tmobile branded.(unlocked bootloader is only way that could all be true) The packaging was all completely sealed which is why im just a bit confused still as how it can be a tmobile variant but not be tmobile branded but also not modified outside of the factory?
so it looks like its 10.0.10.HD65AA rom, model HD1907, device state locked. so to go back to tmobile stock would I have to unlock? then do something like in this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-t-mobile-unbrick-tool-to-restore-t4004005 ?

Glad to hear it went well. Aside from a more recent security update, I don't know if you'll see any difference between the T-Mobile ROM and the International (global) ROM so enjoy it.
I know some folks wish there was more development for the OP7T but it's really pretty solid. Oxygen OS is smooth and Android 11 should be available for it by the end of the year. That being said, I'd love to see how the Paranoid Android ROM runs on this device! Hopefully that'll come soon.
