For anyone who has tried it, can the AT&T M8 bootloader be unlocked by HTCdev or is it blocked by the carrier?

I'm not sure about over the air updates. However you can update your phone through PC Companion if it is rooted but the bootloader is NOT unlocked, and you can also flash an ftf onto the phone using flashtool if your phone is rooted even if the bootloader is unlocked.
There is also several methods of rooting 4.3, one of the easiest being towelroot as it is a one click root app for use on your mobile and it has the remount reboot fix enabled so you don't have to worry about that.

In the dialer type *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#*) and click on Service Info and the Configuration. Under rooting status you will see a string of text. If it says Bootloader unlock allowed (either yes or no, it doesn't matter) your device has a locked bootloader. If it says Bootloader unlock: Yes then you have an unlocked bootloader.

Not at all, there are many root methods available for 4.3 now. The most effective is towelroot, if you download the most recent version from the website (do this from your phone as it is an apk) you don't even have to run the remount/reboot fixer as it is embedded into the app.
I have rooted my phone XMD its now 4.2 how can I update it to 4.3??
Guys, just got this brand spanking new. It's my first LG and from what I'm reading it's not easy to root this thing. I've read through the forums and wanted to ask if unlocking the boot loader through LG then installing recovery and flashing supersu for gaining root is safe for my phone or should I go through the low effort methods and others... Very confused...
I've got the H815 ...
I've attached a screen shot of my software too to be clear as to what I'm running...

If you have the 815 model, then it's perfectly safe. I just did it in the morning. Unlock, flash recovery, flash root.
Okay so I basically unlock through LG, flash the recovery and then flash super su through it and that's it right?

Hi,
I'm interested in rooting my International G4 H815. I've only got a MacBook down with me as my Windows laptop has broke down. I'm not into installing virtual machine and stuff as there's not much space in my rMBP.. Is there a way to root my g4 instead? Really appreciate the help everyone.
Cheers,
Bryson

If you have european or SEA version then you can unlock bootloader and flash root directly without having to go through all the hassle of the "easy root" process.
Yes I have the sea version. I should be able to unlock my boot loader but how do I root it afterwards by flashing?
