I am looking for a new phone, I see on Amazon the g4 Unlocked is 349(roughly). Is that one rooted(like is it able to be rooted, I know it doesn't come rooted) and which forum on here has the roms. There is like 12 different g4's and I don't want to get a phone that isn't rooted and actively being worked on and such...if that makes sense.
Thanks.
I'm looking a LG G4 too, I might end up going with the H815 . Tho it says "no warrenty" ?
There is no warranty if you unlock the bootloader and it's possible just on international version of this phone (H815).
They you should look or you can ask the seller which version it that phone that he selling.

bought one at amazon (H815 international no warranty). Unfortunately, I went through the process to unlock bootloader at LG, but I got the infamous: Singapore version: unable to generate unlock code.

I am planing to buy LG G4 and here in Israel there are 2 models. LG-H815L and LG-H815, the LG-H815 model is cheaper and doesnt come with second battery and charger for the battery. I dont know whats the diference between the 2 models. The sell person told me that the LG-H815 is unnoficial and doesnt have FOTA and will not receive updates from LG. I asm new to this and I even dont know what is FOTA. Can someone please explain me the diference between these 2 models.
Thank you.
Hi,
The L model comes with a 2 years warranty from Ronlight (which is the official distributor of LG smartphones in Israel) plus all the accessories you mentioned , it also comes with Hebrew language enabled and FOTA updates which won't remove Hebrew. There is no difference in the hardware of the 2 models.
With this in mind the European model has the advantage of an official boot unlock available which the L model currently does not offer. If you are not interested in unlocking the bootloader right now I think the L model is a better choice.
Thank you very much for explaining. I will do as you suggested. For now I dont need to unlock the bootloader. In the future probably will have official boot unlock.

Hi Guys,
Is there any way to install TWRP/Custom ROMs, on the H815 TWN variant? I tried today to unlock the bootloader today, but it still says not supported (screenshot attached), let me know if any one has found a way to Bump the kernel like on the old G2/G3 models.
Thanks everyone =D
I have exactly the same issue unfortunately. I'd be happy with ROOT for now.
I hope someone in the community can help us out.
EDIT: root (and downgrade from MM if needed) for TWN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/twn-root-question-downgrade-root-t3328465
Sorry but it's not possible now. There's lots of us waiting for Bootloader to be unlocked for TWN model H815... but currently impossible.
Luckily we can still have Lollipop with root.

And luckily phones like the Nexus 6P or almost any other competitor allows for bootloader unlocking unlike LG.
So if you get pissed off enough, that's an option
Guys i got my phone stolen a S5 which i recently unlocked, i was so happy after unlock it but... life sucks sometimes.
I want to know if it is possible to unlock the bootloader, offcially or nonoffcially, and if it is which version should i look for? build? Company?
ETC? and which models should i avoid. Thanks!
Eu h815 unlocked .... This one is bootloader unlockable
h811 can be unlocked too.
generally only the single sim g4 can be unlocked. h815 difference is that it can keep warranty even after unlocking.

if you in usa h811 tmobile
if you in europe h815 but not all can be bootloade unlocked. search for list of G4 that can be bootloader unlocked.
I know the EM can be rooted, but is someone working on a bootloader unlock for the other G7 models?
I got in touch with TMobile to see if their version would be bootloader unlockable. They gave me the run around, told me to contact LG who hasn't responded. One thing I did manage to get out of TMobile was a firm denial that they requested the device remain locked its likely apathy on the part of LG holding us back at this point. ?I haven't dug into mine yet because I have more interesting unlocked devices to work on
Giving that the only European models can be unlocked most likely not but maybe a bug in the future.
Have saw a AWM model which flash to EM model and get its bootloader unlocked on a second hand trading website in China. The seller said he flash the EM firmware and change the IMEI in order to unlock his phone "officially"
I'm eagerly waiting for the US unlocked G710ULM. If this variant is unlocked, why didn't LG unlocked bootloader?, it's been almost 4 months of no news from LG. .Why giving special status to unlocked European models , since LG V30? If that's the case then LG G6 US997 could be the last US model enjoying root?

Hi,
I have a great opportunity to buy G7 at low price, but the model is G710ULM. I hear that this is UNLOCKED model. My questions:
1. Can it be rooted?
2. Can TWRP be flashed?
For 2. I do not care much, but I absolutely need 1. so that I can remove bloatware.

Unfortunately you can't root the g710ulm model. Maybe by unlocked they mean that it's sim unlocked.

Not yet, it's only sim unlocked not bootloader unlocked.
Btw, how likely is that the root will be available in the following months (either by an exploit or by unlocking the bootloader)?

LG ,if you are reading this, this is not fair that the previous LG flagship i.e LG G6 (LM-US997) had botloader unlock from LG itself. Why is the devices after the USA unlocked LG G6 do not have bootloader unlock? Starts from LG V30 to current LG V40 all the US unlocked really did not get support from LG? Why did they stop after LG G6? Why special status only EU variants to current models? LG, your devices are great, but if you want higher sales, just do not be region specific, bootloader unlock in all variants even on dual SIMs, it's 2019 now, put either 90, 120 or 144Hz best screens from LG DISPLAY. We don't want to feel that LG UI UX is heavy if you put high refresh rates displays that make the use of high end SOCs, just listen to your customers. Then definitely LG UX will be the best.
Well this sucks... I also have this model and would have loved LineageOS

You are reading old information, see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568
You can cross flash with(patched LG Up (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222) Europian variant and proceed (own risk).
I have flashed my Verizon unlocked version (ADB won't work) with US version and enabled ADB, FM radio etc.
