no but you need the int version to be able to unlock bootloader...if not nothing custom!!!
Nope, I guess
If you unlock the bootloader with lg official tool (makes void the warranty), you can flash everything is available
But, unlocked bootloader screen will be displayed at every boot. So, same bad knox issue for warranty.

Hey guys,
I have tried to search for this but I couldn't find it anywhere. Can anyone tell me if this means my bootloader is locked or unlocked?
I want it to be locked because I need to send it back to LG for some touchscreen defects, and yes I didn't even take a look of the locked bootloader before unlocking it.
Thanks for helping!

Can you explain please what's wrong with your touchscreen? I experienced some abnormal behaviour with mine too.

Best way to be sure you removed any trace of unauthorized modification is tu use kdz updater and a sdcard wipe,after you backed up all your stuff.

If you unlock the bootloader it still shows tampered at the top. Unless we get S-OFF, there is no way to get rid of the tampered message.

Damn..Not familiar with these stuff.. Must say, samsung phones are easier to mod....Was really looking forward to install Cyanogenmod...But phones in warranty...
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

My phone is not rooted I've checked. It's unlocked but I'm not sure if it's by Sprint or some other method coz look at these screenshots weird right. Btw I got this update and I'm not sure weather to update or not coz I don't want to lose my unlock in case it relock to Sprint, any help appreciated thanks
Simple way to find out if was ever rooted, put phone in download mode and check knox warranty void status
it says binary official and knox is void
should i update???

No point on flashing or updating, knox is void and samsung pay won't work anymore on devices that have tripped knox
If I update will it relock?
Depends the way it was unlocked , I did mine on a remote service and didn't relocked after any update

Thats the thing i dont know how it was unlocked but i reckon it shouldnt relock cause it says official status and works with non-sprint sim. I bought it second hand thats why i dont know.
I updated and it did not relock hew
When will the Verizon variant get Oreo? Also is there any development going on as far as ROMs go for the Verizon unit? Any way to root and to safely go back to stock?

You can relock the bootloader, but the warranty void flag (via getvar) will still be tripped.

Would be awesome if we did; just came from Verizon Droid turbo (Moto Maxx) and the bootloader was not unlocked until sunshine devs made it possible. Not sure if they, or anyone else, is trying.
