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

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.
I've bought a used G4 from someone who is "pretty sure" (but not 100% certain) that it's a European model, as it was purchased from a seller on Amazon shortly before the phone was released in the UK.
I want to root the phone, so my question is: if I try to unlock the bootloader using the official LG method, but the phone turns out NOT to be a European model, am I likely to brick the phone?
No, if it cannot be unlocked, lg simply won't give you the unlock.bin file for your phone. So just try to get this file from lg and see...
Thanks. I just tried requesting an LG unlock code and it seems I'm out of luck as I seem to have a Taiwan model :0(
I guess there's no sign of a bootloader unlock for Taiwan H815's yet?
Am kind of frustrated ? i need to unlock the bootloader and i can't, that's the reason i bought lg h815 eu and it cannot unlock bootloader please someone help
Hey, I am helping out a mate and have run into a bit of a conundrum. He has a ATT LG G4 (H810) that he purchased from America and has recently moved back to Australia. I have offered to help him unlock his phone so I purchased an unlock code online but when I attempted to enter it I got "This phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked". The SIM Unlock Process menu could be accessed using 2945#*810# However the network unlock option yields "This phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked" and each other option states "Your phone is not personalised".
Currently the phone is on Android Lollipop and I have managed to root it. I would just like to know if there is a possible way to unlock it.
Cheers.
I am have a bit of trouble as my known lg g4 h818p does not support unlocking the bootloader.
Adb has been installed and has recognised my lg g4 and has told me the device id, so i can paste in on lg's device information website so i can get the correct unlocker for my bootloader.
I have no idea why it does not support this phone as it is very similar to the lg g4 h815.
Can anyone please help me on what I should do as I really wanted to root this phone.

No unlock for your device available. Only h815 international and h811 can be unlocked.
Any other model then the h815 international is in the responsibility of the carrier not by LG.
Many ppl blame LG but it is the carrier who needs to provide the unlock or not. Most carriers decided to NOT provide unlock... only T-Mobile doing so with their h811 model.
