First off, I'm a n00b.
I've been searching around, trying to find a list of Roms that are for locked bootloaders but I can't seem to find one.
Could someone just post a few roms that are for locked bootloaders?
I would unlock my bootloader but the risk seems too high/ I'll lose my warranty.
Thanks beforehand.
PS. Does anyone know how to get CM10 working on locked bootloader for Arc S

There are a lot of roms for locked bootloaders in the development section lol. Just press a thread that looks good, press Control and F, and type in bootloader to see whether that particular Rom is for locked or unlocked. Roms based in stock ICS or GB are for locked bootloaders

Jaders ultimate hd 2 Rom is a good one. Fast, stripped of bloatware and smooth.
I do agree with the previous posts an hour or two searching the dev section would turn up what your looking for, but come on guys asking for help in the q&a section im sure you can help more than just sating look, it is Christmas after all

Hey everyone, never posted here before but I figured I'd ask as I'm extremely interested in modding my LG G3. I'm confused though as I don't see any solutions out there for dual booting the phone. Is this something someone's working on that perhaps I've missed? My ultimate goal is to attempt to dual boot Firefox OS (I know, keep dreamin') and Android 4.4.2. My first hurdle is finding a multiboot solution and I just can't find anything out there. Can anybody provide me with some enlightenment? I've thoroughly exhausted Google's search engine to find the answer (including searches through here), I'm beginning to think I may be chasing after something that doesn't exist yet.

No one has been able to unlock the bootloader. LG don't allow it and the devs are finding it difficult to. Unless the bootloader can be unlocked there will be no custom Roms or kernels or dual booting.
The devs seem optimistic that they will be able to unlock the boot loader. Once that happens the only way to multiboot is if someone were to port the recovery multirom to our device. Multirom is currently available for nexus devices and I have it on my nexus 7 2013 and it's amazing

Hey thanks guys! I read somewhere that the LG G3 was suppose to ship with an unlocked bootloader... Guess I got my hopes up for nothing ( I think it may have been a T-Mobile article which is why I was so giddy). Oh well, I really appreciate the responses guys(or gals)! Have a good one!

Lucky us eh? Now if they figure out how to do it with the mainstream phone I'm sure I'll find a multi-ROM boot, at the very least I could experiment with other versions of android but with LG making a firefoxOS phone I'm hoping someone will port it to the G3.

After the news about the unlockable bootloader I expected the device to get cyanogenmod really quickly after release. Could anyone enlighten me what might be the problem that no dev has yet found the time to port it to this device?
Is blobs and everything available? Google has a guide on building so for those who make threads like this go build yourself?
okay then we wait and see, I still have not rooted. I wait until it gets really stable

The bootloader is only unlockable to a very few select H815 variant users. Only a specific region or two can unlock their bootloaders, as such, not many devs have been able to work on any ROM's.

Would you please clarify ... I have an H815, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Are you saying that there is a CM for the LG G4 to replace the stock G4 ROM, L5.1 ? Cyanogen don't list H815, nor have I seen any other deodexed lean ROM elsewhere. Thanks in advance.
There is no cm yet. For this, you need devs and root and an unlocked bootloader helps. As all American variants are not unlockable and not rootable in a safe manner, devs would need to get a European h815. The phone has been out for three weeks now, so there was no time for anything like customizing stock or even a whole custom rom. This will take some time and it is not guaranteed to happen at all.

I unlocked my H815 back in May. Quite simple. Key points: a visit to LG support site. There you can make your way to the Developer section and register to receive the bootloader unlock code. LG will try three times to dissuade you but will in the end email you the code. It remains valid for a couple of days and once done the process is "irreversible". Your G4 will always show bootloader ulocked (on the boot screen). In my view that's a good thing and shows that the owner cares. LG say they have listened to customers (a dig at Sammy and i-Sheep) and have started to roll out the unlock code globally. Yours may be listed already, if not it soon will be. It's been a month now so register / monitor the site.
I'll probably still waiting for a dev to produce a lean deodexed ROM for quite a while yet!

Okay, so this means LG will support unlocking also for "non-EU" devices soon?
The next problem is: driver sources.
Without them cyanogenmod will become a problem?:crying:

No I was completely calm and thought maybe they really don't know.^^ Because when someone seems to wait days and weeks on this he obviously has time and it would be quicker to learn to do it himself.

CM needs to be built from source and no dev that can build one has the H815. Google build cm from source and maybe you or anybody that owns the H815 with patience can build one. Start a new dev thread for help to get one built once you get started.

Thanks for confirming that there is no CM for the G4. LG are committed to providing unlock codes. The global rollout has started. G4 is a top device and deserves a CM. Can't wait. Four weeks since I got one.
I saw some time ago we have some donation to unlock bootloader.. Why any developer disnt try to unlock the bootloader its unofficial way like g3 does.
I'm jusy a flashaholic i cant luve without roms man and now its like 5 months away from custom roms and stuck with this ugly stock with rooted ? and i would never ever buy a lg one again id rather go to nexus devices it self have more advantages than this lieces of ****

I've got to agree - I bought mine from Value Basket, advertised as an EU version but the IMIE is for a Singapore carrier and because of that I can't unlock the bootloader, hence I'm stuck with a fantastic phone with good, but not brilliant firmware and no way to flash my favourite CFW's.

Easy there! That's not how things work around here. Also, it's not that developers wouldn't try. People worked on it and may still be working on a solution. Maybe, next time you buy a new phone, make sure you don't spend hundreds of dollars on a device you can't unlock or where it's uncertain whether it'll be unlockable or not. After all, you're a "flashaholic".
Shameful post(op)
Well thank to you sir for contributing and not asking for anything.

I feel your frustration, though (misguided), you need to read a bit about unlocking the bootloader for many of the G4 models.
You are not the only one that feels as you do. You certainly do not need to be rude about your frustration, furthermore blaming people on XDA is wrong. XDA users had nothing to do with locking the bootloader.
BTW you are correct there is a donation thread somewhere.Why not learn how to develop and be the one that could do what no other could:good:
There are enough rant threads already out there, no need to keep this afloat.
PS thanks for being a member of XDA and I look forward to your development

No need to see into the future. You just need to think harder. LG is known for locking down devices. Why bother with the risk of ending up with a locked down device? Besides, I'm not dragging you anywhere. You just like the feeling of being the victim. Get a grip already!

I all so sick of people saying that the only root for g4 is root injection it would not work for me so now only got my gflex 2. So very soon I will look at the g4 again now knowing what I need to look for.
The way I see it with out boot loader unlocking there is no root for the g4........ok ranting over good night

Well the root works really well, though you have to be using L. Even xposed works with flash fire, so really its not a big deal. If they at least root M I will be even happier.
Of course unlocked bootloader would be ideal but I am happy with root.

Why do you assume I don't know about custom roms? I do know a lot and tried many of them on different devices. Some are great some are buggy.
Truth is LG rom is very stable and with root, exposed, launcher I can get it very close to pure android experience. So root is still very important.
Don't get me wrong, I still want an unlcoked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader will extend the life of the device.

Because no attention to lg g4 dual sim?
Even if they are roms based on the stock would be very good, I realize that the H818P has nothing just a rom that was only updated in October and have nothing, pay so dearly for a good device and has nothing or a little attention developers forum we also need a bit of attention to our device and the Brazilians are suffering from it.
Please help us.
I'm grateful.
My device looks like a Samsung, receives nothing '-':fingers-crossed:
This is the single rom we have: /

Even with locked bootloader, the ROM could be based on the stock of the appliance as I mentioned in the first with improvements.
