Hi, im new to locked bootloaders and would like to ask a question. Is it possible to flash a EU bootloader over the SEA(Singapore) bootloader ?
LG couldn't be bothered to add more unlock options so im locked out of android devlopment. People in the same situation as me, keep flooding LG singapore support with emails about this issue. :good:Hopely they will cop on. :fingers-crossed::victory:
Lol thatd be the million dollar prize. im sure its not possible. Or we would all be tryin lol. I asked a similar quest. If its possible to flash the eu firmware and go from there.

Yeah it would be, but they're not bothering their asses.
I wrote to LG UK(WASTE OF TIME)
Here is the response I got:
Thank you for your query regarding your LG G4.
"I am very sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue when unlocking the bootloader on your phone.
This is something which we do not advise our customers to do as it is roots the phone and therefore voids your warranty with us. Moreover, if your phone is a singapore model then your warranty lies with LG Singapore and therefore any issue you have in regards to this you will need to discuss with LG Singapore. As LG UK, we only manufacture phones to UK specification and every country manufacturer the hardware of their phone differently. Therefore, if your phone did not come with an unlocked bootloader as you had hoped then this is something you would need to take up with LG Singapore as it does not regard LG UK.
I apologise that I could not be of any more assistance today, Gabrielius. I would advise you contacting LG Singapore if you would like to discuss the matter further. If you need to reply please click the additional questions link below.
Thank you in advance and I hope you have a good day. "
They're lame excuse of voiding warranty annoys me. They have provided an unlock option for the eu bootloader so why not give an option for all types of bootloaders.

I wonder if anyone with that phone had this issue to think about. Is there any way to unlock it for FREE? I saw an "Unlocking rom" for this phone, but some people responded negatively after using it. I dont a solution after which i have to unbrick my phone.
Thanks.
...
anyone, who could help?
I guess there is no free solution how to sim unlock this phone...
Just try to talk to your service porvider to give you the unlock codes
just give them ur IMEI no. to get it jhust simply type *#06#
courcem have
Thats one of the solution but in Eastern European countries this is expensive cuz service providers are not regulated by law to do it free or for lower cost so they often have too high prices for unlock service...
I unlocked mine just by rooting it. However in some cases a Firmware flash can help or if you dont want to be on stock a Custom ROM

Sorry for bringing up the old topic.
I've rooted my LG p350 but it's still SIM locked.
Is there really no way to unlock it as with most other Androids? I'm not paying 50€ for unlocking a phone that's now worth 30€.

Well doing a kdz flash *might* unlock it but I really doubt it. You will probably have to take it some mobile shop to unlock it. You could also try to go to your mobile operator and ask them to unlock it, but they will consider it only if your contract expired.

Yeah, that's the issue, mobile operators in my country aren't obligated by law to unlock the phones for free even after the contract ends, they actually charge it around 40-50€, that's about 70$, and that's dobule what the phone is worth today, so it's not an option.
I'll try the KDZ flash, maybe it works.
Thank you.

Did the KDZ flash work? My daughters P350 is over 1 year old, I got the unlockcodes from the operator, but the phone does not work with these. I somewhere read that a custom ROM can be in the way of unlocking SIM. Any ideas on that?
Where can I find a stock ROM? Netherlands Vodafone...
Thanks a lot in advance.
Never mind, a little too quick here. Found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221132 where all answers are given, just unlocked the P350 :good::laugh::victory:
Hey win69, finally you managed to sim unlock your phone? My English is not perfect and I do not quite understand if by flashing the ROM (you suggest in your post), you finally unlock your phone. Thank you for your answer!
Hello xda developers
I've looked around, and I see that US990 has no threads, it's left out and no developer is supporting it. Why is that?
We (US990 owner) would like to see some support, and we're really appreciate it.
Thank you everyone for the great work you do everyday.
Bump
I have one and I need a Lollipop rom
Many people do, but I don't think the gurus don't. So we won't get any support from them.
I would like to know if you have unlocked your U990 for use on other GSM carriers like AT&T or T-Mobile or international use?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Artnau, Sorry I don't have an answer for that. Since the phone has to be physically in the US to be unlocked, US Cellular won't unlock it remotely.
But to have an answer, maybe you can write to them on Twitter, they reply quickly, ask them whether the unlocked phones works with other US Carriers.
Best of luck

Thanks for your response, but I intended to ask if your G3 from US Cellular was unlocked as I saw from your device history you have stated it is unlocked. I want to purchase an LG G3 US990 on eBay but don't know if it is unlocked for other carriers use or not. That is why I asked.
Thank you!

No, sorry for that, there is a BL next to it, it should have been all caps, because it stands for Bootloader.
So the Bootloader is unlocked, but not the network.
I have G3 990/22a 5.0.1 and I cant find anything that helps me on clear or deepnet on unlocking, network or bootloader. This phone is looking like a dinosaur. I doubt anyone can help me but any ideas ill give a shot. Thanks
Guys, I got this phone from my cuz from UK Amazon. Still locked to O2. Apparently, O2 told my cuz that they won't be able to unlock it except wait for 12 months. It seems ridiculous.
So I would like to ask the experts here. Is rooting the phone can make it unlock like those samsungs or HTCs?

This is the development thread use qa thread please.
soo I made some digging through the internet and i found Official LG statement about G4 and it says that :
"LG Electronics has been made aware of a booting issue with the LG G4 smartphone that has now been identified as resulting from a loose contact between components. Customers who are experiencing booting issues with their LG G4s should contact their local carrier from where the G4 was purchased or a nearby LG Service Center (LG Electronics) for repair under full warranty."
I have unlocked bootloader and they sent me back my G4 from service with bill for over 250$...
I focused on that sentence : " Customers who are experiencing booting issues with their LG G4s should contact their local carrier from where the G4 was purchased or a nearby LG Service Center (LG Electronics) for repair under full warranty."
Soo , what do you think about it ?
When I show that sentence to the service , will G4 get repaired ? or it will provide something else ?
(I'm sorry for my English , if it's bad ,because I am from Poland and it's not my native language )
I believe they usually regard unlocking the bootloader as voiding the warranty. Some have gotten theirs fixed while a lot of others haven't.
Depends on where you at, because I believe in Germany your warranty is not void if you unlock bootloader, cause LG HAS to treat Hardware issues differently form Software Issues, so they are not allowed here to take your warranty away from you if you tweak Software Side

Unlocked bootloader with bootloop / motherboard issue
Hello, I've face the same bootloop issue recently, I had unlocked bootloader. I've contected with LG customer support, where I described the whole situation. I've returned the device (as the customer care suggested me by knowing the situation) to a Hungarian - local - LG service. Now regardless what LG's customer care said they don't want to replace my motherboard because of the unlocked bootloader. :crying:
What you suggest me to do? Where can I check that why someone's got repaired while the other's aren't? It depends on where you live, that they fix this problem or not (even with unlocked bootloader)?
ps: I've got a H815, with T-Mobile carrier lock
Thanks forwards!
I'm looking around on ebay, and craigslist, and it's hard to gauge which ones are actually H815, not H815T or something like that. There's also the trouble of finding out which of these will have the lowest chance of bootlooping...
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

ask them.. for that specific model.. let them know thats what you want not another model.. tell them i have no use of other models so it must be that model.... ask them politely to tell you. tell them you have a broken one same model you want to have the same in case you need a spare part... something like that ..
I also heard that korean models of g4 f500 etc the one with the antenna dont have bootloop im not sure but someone can confirm here who owns it .. Anyone ?
