I've got to agree - I bought mine from Value Basket, advertised as an EU version but the IMIE is for a Singapore carrier and because of that I can't unlock the bootloader, hence I'm stuck with a fantastic phone with good, but not brilliant firmware and no way to flash my favourite CFW's.

Easy there! That's not how things work around here. Also, it's not that developers wouldn't try. People worked on it and may still be working on a solution. Maybe, next time you buy a new phone, make sure you don't spend hundreds of dollars on a device you can't unlock or where it's uncertain whether it'll be unlockable or not. After all, you're a "flashaholic".

Shameful post(op)
Well thank to you sir for contributing and not asking for anything.

I feel your frustration, though (misguided), you need to read a bit about unlocking the bootloader for many of the G4 models.
You are not the only one that feels as you do. You certainly do not need to be rude about your frustration, furthermore blaming people on XDA is wrong. XDA users had nothing to do with locking the bootloader.
BTW you are correct there is a donation thread somewhere.Why not learn how to develop and be the one that could do what no other could:good:
There are enough rant threads already out there, no need to keep this afloat.
PS thanks for being a member of XDA and I look forward to your development

I tired to find way to unlock bootloader for H815P

No need to see into the future. You just need to think harder. LG is known for locking down devices. Why bother with the risk of ending up with a locked down device? Besides, I'm not dragging you anywhere. You just like the feeling of being the victim. Get a grip already!

Well see I know that lg lock some device's I have had a few lg device's g3,g4,gflex2 and now just made a MISSILE out of the g4 because sick of being told that there may be a unlocking available for the g4. I all so sick of people saying that the only root for g4 is root injection it would not work for me so now only got my gflex 2. So very soon I will look at the g4 again now knowing what I need to look for.
The way I see it with out boot loader unlocking there is no root for the g4........ok ranting over good night

Well the root works really well, though you have to be using L. Even xposed works with flash fire, so really its not a big deal. If they at least root M I will be even happier.
Of course unlocked bootloader would be ideal but I am happy with root.

Why do you assume I don't know about custom roms? I do know a lot and tried many of them on different devices. Some are great some are buggy.
Truth is LG rom is very stable and with root, exposed, launcher I can get it very close to pure android experience. So root is still very important.
Don't get me wrong, I still want an unlcoked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader will extend the life of the device.

Cm mod is awesome and fully customizable to suit your taste. Many phones get only about two years worth of official support and new versions of android(and often appalling support). You cant brick your phone if you dont do something idiotic. And you cant lock p6 to landscape mode with the autorotate button, thats reason enough to go for custom rom.
Cm Galaxy s is already running 4.3 with 0 problems, too bad its single core makes it too slow for my use, at least after im used to p6.

[Q] How to unlock if bootloader if bootloader unlock says NO?

Hi guys, I just got my hands on a Xperia ZL... it's quite neat! But I wish I could install CM or a custom rom on it. Ok, I tried to check the bootloader and it states:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: no

No problem!
One good thing is that you can flash stock based Rom's, and we have one of the best out there in Niaboc's ExistenZ Rom.
Flash that Rom, and used the xposed modules, and you can manipulate it to your liking just as much as aosp or CM roms.
Especially xposed modules like "HK Themer" let you install CM themes to stock roms!
Give it a shot! ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385313

Custom ROMs and Dual booting

Hey everyone, never posted here before but I figured I'd ask as I'm extremely interested in modding my LG G3. I'm confused though as I don't see any solutions out there for dual booting the phone. Is this something someone's working on that perhaps I've missed? My ultimate goal is to attempt to dual boot Firefox OS (I know, keep dreamin') and Android 4.4.2. My first hurdle is finding a multiboot solution and I just can't find anything out there. Can anybody provide me with some enlightenment? I've thoroughly exhausted Google's search engine to find the answer (including searches through here), I'm beginning to think I may be chasing after something that doesn't exist yet.

No one has been able to unlock the bootloader. LG don't allow it and the devs are finding it difficult to. Unless the bootloader can be unlocked there will be no custom Roms or kernels or dual booting.
The devs seem optimistic that they will be able to unlock the boot loader. Once that happens the only way to multiboot is if someone were to port the recovery multirom to our device. Multirom is currently available for nexus devices and I have it on my nexus 7 2013 and it's amazing

Hey thanks guys! I read somewhere that the LG G3 was suppose to ship with an unlocked bootloader... Guess I got my hopes up for nothing ( I think it may have been a T-Mobile article which is why I was so giddy). Oh well, I really appreciate the responses guys(or gals)! Have a good one!

Lucky us eh? Now if they figure out how to do it with the mainstream phone I'm sure I'll find a multi-ROM boot, at the very least I could experiment with other versions of android but with LG making a firefoxOS phone I'm hoping someone will port it to the G3.

Okay, if you have the knowledge to know which rom you want on your phone, you should know how to use the search button my friend. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm very tired of babysitting people when this topic is all over the forums and can easily be found within 30 seconds of doing a Google search. You need to learn that the community loves to help people, but only if they can help themselves. And you should read the forum rules and never post anything in the Orginal Android Development sub-thread of the G3 forum because that is for actual development only, not questions, and not to be harsh, but you wont ever have anything to add to that. Also, since you apparently can't even do a simple search, I'll go ahead and warn you to be careful about what roms you flash and only flash ones specifically for the D855. I also ask that you read EVERYTHING on the OP's page before even downloading the rom. That being said, to start getting your phone ready to flash, you need to first root your phone with StumpRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
After you have carefully following all of these instructions and you have properly working superuser access with SuperSU installed on your device, then you can proceed to installing a Bump'd version of TWRP for your phone. Once again, make sure you download the correct file for you variant and follow this guide verbatim:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Once that is done, you should download whatever rom it is you want to flash, IF AND ONLY IF IT IS FOR THE D855. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you don't flash a rom for a different variant. Follow all directions on the OP's page and you should be good to go.
Good luck on all this but next time, please learn to search before you start a new thread. This topic is literally all over the forums and is so easy to Google and find out for yourself in no time. If people would just read they could figure out a lot more without having to let others do the thinking for them.

Rooting is seriously either one button after installing an APK or connecting your phone to your computer and pressing ENTER 3 times.

LG G4 Development

Hi all beauty?
Because no attention to lg g4 dual sim?
Even if they are roms based on the stock would be very good, I realize that the H818P has nothing just a rom that was only updated in October and have nothing, pay so dearly for a good device and has nothing or a little attention developers forum we also need a bit of attention to our device and the Brazilians are suffering from it.
Please help us.
I'm grateful.
My device looks like a Samsung, receives nothing '-':fingers-crossed:
This is the single rom we have: /

We cant do anything without a bootloader unlock. People are working on it. Theres a petition with over 3000 signatures on it. I suggest you sign it too then we wait for a word back from lg. https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...pt&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition
