Hi. Does anyone tried to go through with LG's OEM unlock method on the H818P? In developer options, it has enable OEM unlock option, so I guess it can be unlocked? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance.
dunno.. nobody talk about that thing for some strange reason

Hey guys and gals, I enabled developer mode and noticed that this device has the OEM unlock option not sure if that is similar to the nexus 6 as far as unlocking the bootloader to root but pretty sure it may be..fingers crossed and I wouldn't take any rom updates until we know further about root.
Yeah notice the same thing on my phone. I enable but not sure what it does yet.

The OEM Unlock does not unlock the bootloader, it only "allows" the bootloader to be unlocked.
If you don't allow the bootloader to be unlocked then you can't flash roms, kernels and you can't
root the phone.
This is why the verizon and at&t Note 5 and S6 Edge+ phones cannot be rooted and they cannot
have custom roms and kernels. They lack the the option of OEM Unlock because they have locked
bootloaders which is unlike our phones. The bootloader in our phones are not locked.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
My Verizon Edge+ has OEM Unlock on it, but I have no idea what it does. I'm searching the internet to see if anyone knows.

The important thing is to always leave the OEM Unlock enabled.
But as I said before, doing that will NOT unlock the bootloader.
It only allows for unlocking the bootloader if the bootloader is
unlock-able. (which is not the case with Verizon's bootloader)
Good luck,
Have a great evening!
I've got an HTC 10 with Verizon. I'm trying to follow the guides, but they all want me to enable the OEM Unlock option in the developer settings. I can't do this because the option is simply not there. Can't find any guides with my same problem. Closest I've found was some guy also didn't have the option showing, but he somehow had the s-off, which from what I've found you can't do unless you've unlocked the bootloader by enabling the OEM Unlock. WTF have I done wrong? Is this even possible with my phone? I just wanted to get rid of the pop-up ads.
Thanks for listening

Verizon disables the OEM Unlock option, and so you cannot unlock the bootloader in the same way as for the other variants. Your only option is to pay for S-Off, which will require you to mail in your device to the Sunshine team if you're on Nougat/Oreo software.
I can't see the Oem unlocking option in developer options, is there a way to enable it that works? I have unlocked my device and recently reset it.

you have frp locked and no solution.
I am trying to root my phone but I can't get passed enabling the oem lock because it does show up in my developer settings. Is there a way I can root it without enabling that to open the bootloader. I'm very new at this so if anyone can help much appreciated.

If it's the U.S. variant, long story short is no.
Samsung has been hard locking bootloaders on U.S. variants for years now and you need to unlock bootloader (OEM Unlock) to flash custom binaries (Magisk/root).
It used to be that there was no way of unlocking bootloaders until recently, but it's a paid service
If you are really interested about unlocking your bootloader and you really want and/or need root, you can check this thread out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/
