Hey everyone, this is my first LG device, and definitely not my last. I love this phone but I think its time to root now.
I understand LG have an official bootloader unlock for the H815 model, but mine is also carrier branded to O2, I read somewhere that its only the factory unlocked models that support this method?
Cheers

You can always just go to the LG site and try to get the files you need and see. If you attempt to put in info for a G4 that their bootload unlock does not support it will just give you a popup error and will not allow you to download anything.
All,
I'm having issues unlocking my H815 LG G4. I enter the proper IMEI and device information into the location on LG's developer website to unlock it but then I get an error which I have attached.
This has been discussed many times before.
You need a region specific H815 in order to unlock your bootloader. A specific EU variant is the only one that LG supports unlocking right now. My Taiwanese specific G4 is not supported. If you'd like, you can msg LG and pile on the requests to unlock all H815 variants, but I believe they said they wouldn't.
Good luck!

Any Ideas on how to root without bootloader unlocked?
Im having the same issue the only difference is that my LG G4 h815 is the EU open market variant which is the one that can only unlock bootloader im getting the message saying everything is correct but cannot unlock bootloader, i contacted lg support dev, the answer from them is that i cannot unlock my G4, this is bull**** i pay i want full control of my phone. hope someone can come up with a way to root this device without unlocking the bootloader just like with the G3 model.
Returned mine and bought another straight from a site in the UK. Went without a hitch.
Hi guys I have an H815 brand "tim(an'italian carrier) 2 hours ago I was trying to unlock my bootloader and when i wrote the imei it said "your device does not support unlocking the bootloader"
So the question is.. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
The problem is ; your device is not supported...
In other words the tools and guides on the official lg developers site aren't compatible with your version of the phone.
It is probably because you seem to have a carrier branded H815, and that carrier does not allow to unlock the bootloader.
You'll have to wait for LG to support your phone, LG has released a statement saying it will slowly add more devices for unlocking the boatloader

Yeah I only realised this the other day also, shame!
so basically there's no way to get rooted marshmallow at this point without unlocked bootloader
I am from China, I don't know English, this article is translated by Google, but I hope you can read it.
In our place, there are technologies for all models of G7 to unlock bootloader and ROOT (T-MOBILE version of the phone needs to be replaced with a cup to become a general version to unlock the bootloader, because this version of the phone cpu is encrypted), but, frustrating Yes, this technology is only in the hands of a few people, they do not intend to share, and they use this technology to gain benefits.
They provide remote unlocking of the bootloader and ROOT services, but need to pay 150 yuan, which is expensive for me and is meaningless.
I bought a G7 from a second-hand merchant who replaced the RAM with 4G and changed it to 6G. He said that the machine replaced the T-MOBILE version of the CPU, but the IMEI code displayed on the machine is the Korean blue version, and my G7 is Red, I don't know if G7 has changed the IMEI code. If so, please let me know, thank you
My mobile phone, the merchant has helped me unlock the bootloader and ROOT. And, since someone on XDA has shared the cracked version of LGUP, I can use it to brush in any version of my G7. I brushed Korea, T-MOBILE, and KDZ in Europe, and in Europe and Korea. The version of the system ROOT, because now only the European version and the Korean version of ROOT BOOT, I brushed into the boot through FASTBOOT, but, very strangely, I brushed the three versions of KDZ, only T-MOBILE version KDZ can enter FASTBOOT via ADB commands or keystrokes (maybe this phone is T-MOBILE version), other versions will only restart. Therefore, I have to first brush into the T-MOBILE version of KDZ into FASTBOOT to brush into the version of ROOT BOOT I want, then brush into the corresponding version of KDZ, and then install magisk, you get ROOT. However, I am not satisfied with the current system version, I want a newer version, and make it ROOT BOOT, I brushed KDZ many times, when I entered FASTBOOT again into BOOT, I found that I can't brush BOOT again. And FASTBOOT prompts to open the OEM to unlock
So, I entered the system, clicked on the developer option, found that the OEM unlock option has become gray, and can not be opened, so my phone can not be brushed into BOOT, I am looking for ways online, unfortunately, I have not I found a way to succeed. Later, I saw the latest V30 unlocking Bootloader post. It seems that after unlocking the bootloader, the OEM unlock will turn gray. It will take a few days to open again. However, I didn’t see it. Before the V30 post, I have already entered my G7 into FASTBOOT and re-locked the bootloader via the adb command.
Now I can open the OEM to unlock it, but it is useless. Because the bootloader is locked, I still can't brush it into the BOOT through FASTBOOT. Because the bootloader has been locked back by me, I did this, I thought my G7. Is the T-MOBILE version of the replacement CPU machine, in our case, it is said that after the T-MOVILE version of the machine to replace the CPU, T-MOBILE G7 can unlock the bootloader, and will not lock
Now, I am trying to find a way to unlock the bootloader, but no, yes, no, I hope to get some clues to unlock the bootloader by contacting those who have remotely unlocked the bootloader and ROOT by paying. However, no one wants to do this, they I even told me to go away, maybe because they have already paid to unlock it, and telling me will damage their interests. Finally, I learned about the process of remotely unlocking the bootloader by one person. Those who master the technology to unlock the bootloader do not want to expose it. They help the remote unlocking of the bootloader and block the operation process, just through the chat software. Release the command to let you connect to the computer or switch the phone into LG's brush mode, etc. I want to get some information through the screen of the phone. Unfortunately, that person doesn't remember, I only asked some strange news, that person's The mobile phone is a Korean mobile phone that does not unlock the bootloader. The mobile phone version is Android 9.0 South Korea's 20c. The remote flashing machine does not know how to enter the Korean version of FASTBOOT on this mobile phone that does not unlock the bootloader and ROOT. As far as I know, the Korean version The FASTBOOT of the mobile phone is hidden and cannot be opened by the command. This thing has been said on XDA... This thing makes me wonder, I thought they used the tool to brush into the European version of the system and then enter FASTBOOT to unlock. (Unfortunately, my G7 can only enter fastboot by brushing into the T-MOBILE version, the European version cannot pass the adb Or in the form of platinum enter). Some time ago, someone discussed on xda how to unlock the bootloader by brushing into the European version of the system. Since the cracking tool did not come out at the time, they hoped to use the octopus box to brush into the European version of the system and then unlock it (how to unlock without explanation), now crack The tool came out, it can make our G7 brush into any version of the system, but the discussion is gone...
If you have any ideas, please let me know and send it to this mailbox at [email protected]. I am not very good at using xda, and I need vpn on xda. I also need to pay for using VPN. I am poor, this is for me. It’s too much trouble...
*I have a few questions that need your help, 1 how to change the IMEI of G7, I want to try to get a network upgrade by changing imei to the corresponding system version.
2 How to unlock KDZ of G7, I need to unlock KDZ of G7 to extract BOOT.IMG into ROOT BOOT, I tried new methods and some old methods that I can find in my country to unlock KDZ of G7. failed
If you have a method, please let me know (hopefully have a tutorial), I hope to get your reply, thank you...
thanks for your sharing。
Intresting things they do in China. This is why I never trust buying a chinese brand. I bought in 2015 3 xiaomi mi3 mediatek clones from official shenzhen mi store. Never trust chinese brands again. That applyes for software also.
What version of kdz do you want? I have most versions from European model and 2 versions form Korean pie.
Update instructions, I used my friend's Korean version G7 to brush into T-MOBILE version KDZ tiles, can not boot, now only into 9008 mode, now confirmed that the replacement of CPU G7 seems to have become a strange machine, it seems that it can be cracked version of LGUP into any version of KDZ will not tiles, but other machines can not, such as my friend's Korean version machine brush into T-MOBILE machine. It will change into bricks, but one thing is certain that KDZ of Korean and European machines can be brushed into each other, because the publisher of LGUP cracked version is using this tool to make European G7 brush into Korean G7 9.0 system, but it is possible to brush KDZ randomly into Korean G7 system. I do not recommend that you do so. I do not think you have the hope that your machine will become a brick. If it has happened, I'm sorry, I can only say that, but I hope you can share it and let those who have not happened avoid it. I need more communication and look forward to your reply.
It has entered 9008 mode. Can I change it to European IMEI and ID, then get the unlock file, brush it into European system, and turn it into a European machine, then unlock BL. In theory, the hardware of G7 is the same... I hope someone can share the IMEI and device ID of the European version G7 to me. It's better to have unlock.bin file. I want to test it. My mailbox is [email protected].

That will be verry nice. Is it ok if I give you one from one g7em un retail mode but that has sim enabled?
Any update on this? Would be an interesting method, i would absolutely do this if it works

No you can't. Starting with SD845 - IMEI and ID stays in CHIP and regenerates on every boot.
So, the only way to achieve it is to contact this taobao seller and he will resolder EU chip, flash EM firmware and unlock it and then re-solder back your chip and you will have EM firmware but IMEI and SN will be 0.
N.B.:Regarding G7 it is build in 3 factories and has 4 different Hardware revisions so stop thinking HW is identical and simply cross-flashing will do the trick
So no way to sim unlock the lg g7 tmobile?
lmg710em unsupported country
Greetings everyone;
Since my lmg710em is registered in an "unsupported country"; I cannot unlock my bootloader with official way. I've looked for hours to find an unofficial way but there is nothing... I have tried to flash France's kdz, but nothing changes. Does someone have the european version's unlock.bin file? This is my only hope for now.
It's really bad to be forbidden to use the device, which you paid for, as you like.
I really need help guys,
thank you all,
cheers...
