Hi, I'm looking to purchase a H812 Canadian LG G4 and I'm wondering if I would be able to use H815 or H811 roms on the H812? I looked into the android development section and there isnt a single rom built specifically for H812..
No
At the moment there are only roms for those cause they are the only ones with unlocked bootloaders that I know of also there aren't roms for any of the US variants because locked bootloader

Is there news of the bootloader getting unlocked in the near future for 812? Also does that also mean ROOT is not possible on 812?
$%#% me, get a H812 and only the H815 has unlocked bootloader. Why do the canadian variants always get shafted.
I knew the 0 dollar 2 year contract was too good to be true. I can live without custom roms for a while(please get twrp on it when possible)
but no root using an easy app. ughhhh....... really?!!!!
I hope they get on the move with a root method such as towelroot.
Any news on unlocked bootloader?

You can root the H812. See this thread.

Follow instructions on the root threads as you will have root. Extremely simple.
Doubt you will ever see an unlocked bootloader unfortunately

I read somewhere on google that the T-Mobile version was going to come factory unlocked. Can anyone comment?
When where ? Can you add the link

You mean the bootloader is factory unlocked? If so, then yes, it is.

The bootloader is unlocked on T-Mobile
I find it odd that the key was already turned. Normally they have the door locked but give you the key to use if you so choose. Honestly the way this phone came out without any kind of safety for the boot partitions is asking for a malicious app/virus to brick phones. Unless purple Drake did the factory unlock but I don't think they stated that.

No they stated that when they were exploring root and unlock methods they were surprised to find out that the Tmo version was already unlocked... I would think that raises the chances that LG releases a key to unlock other variants as well? ... other than at&t and Verizon that is...

Yeah and you know this might sound silly but I wonder if anyone has tried the normal unlock commands in fastboot for the other phones. Development isn't booming like on samsung or htc phones so you never know. Pretty sure somebody out there has tried I mean somebody had to right? Maybe Ill try to lock my bootloader in fastboot and see what happens. I would like to have it locked when I'm not modding that's just good practice.
*Edit
locked bootloaders and encrypted bootloaders are different just wanted to make sure everyone reading this that didn't know that now knows.
As always people keep getting confused between sim unlock and bootloader unlock.

Can confirm. Got T-mo G3 with out knowing. Feels like I won the lotto.
The D851 variant ships with an unlocked bootloader, but SIM-locked to T-Mobile. Just to make it 100% clear.

I was able to sim unlock my G3 for like $3...there are several posts in the forums with similar success stories.
I used unlockcode247 and it worked like a charm. I got the code in under 15 minutes. $2. Can't go wrong.
Are you waiting unlocked bootloader before buying LG G3 ?
Yes.

Well , there is even others option , so even if people have it yet they can write down their opinion
Yes from me as well...
I bought LG G3 D855 and got know boot loader is locked afterwords. So I vote "No".
Nevertheless, this is beautiful device.

Unlocked bootloader is not "always" necessary, the G2 have loki and not unlocked bootloader, whit great and a lot of development, i'm sure if we can get loki, don't need an unlocked bootloader.
Yes

Not loki but thecube said something about another kind of exploit, if it's not possible with the "standard" unlock.
Before buying the g3 , I already knew about th locked bootloader. But I just have to get it because of the sexy look . Would love to try cm , aosp on this phone but I can wait as the stock rom isn't that bad that I wanted to use cm straightaway .
You guys might be waiting some time ?, doubt it will happen, but hope the best for you.
Returned mine, but not only because of the locked bootloader

Always gotta be a negative person when it comes to boot loader being unlocked one way or another.. So please just go troll somewhere else
Got the phone,saled but if bootloader unlock i will buy again
Ive been waiting to buy it until the bootloader is unlocked. I refuse to spend my money on a device that im buying outright and not be able to do what I want with it.
LG your going to lose money if you don't allow an unlock. .sony does...htc does...samsung doesnt even lock the Canadian bootloaders.... ill buy from one of those companies instead until you do what is right for your customers.

How can I debrand my LG G4?
where can I find the original no brand firmware for uk?
and how to flash it?
if someone can help, I really aprreciate.
Can I use something like this on a T-Mobile version?
You'll have to wait for the bootloader to get unlocked. Each phone will only allow your carrier-specific firmware to be flashed with the locked bootloader, which is why only the international version has root for now.

I have the H815 version, so I think it is possible to unlock the bootloader, right?
But then where can I find the firmwares? for Samsung is very easy because there is the samfirmware, but for LG?
Where to find a guide to do it?
thanks
Nobody can help?
Carrier versions can not be unlocked at the moment
I'm so sad to have taken this phone and not the s6......
marko68, the G4 only came out last week in the UK unfortunately you'll have to wait a few weeks because features you request start to appear. The S6 has been out quite a bit longer.
Yep a bit of patience is all that's required

I don't think there is any. We never saw 20c.

Have you tried Systemless Root? If it works, there'd be no need to wait for a repacked boot.img to get root. If it works, please report back so I can add the H818N on 20C to the list of Systemless Rootable devices.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Systemless Root only works for bootloader unlocked devices and since there are no 818 models that are bootloader unlocked, that automatically cancels out the possibility that systemless root will work at this time.
Still hoping and keeping fingers crossed that someone will figure out a way to unlock the bootloader.

Hi.
I have just purchased a used h815 and when I went to unlock via the official lg website, I was informed that my phone was a US variant, and unlock was not available.
I'm currently running 20h.. is there any way at all given the locked bootloader to
A) get root access?
B) install cm13?
If the answer is no.. i think I'll be sticking this back on eBay...
Thanks!
