Hi guys,
I have been researching for weeks and i cant find what guide to use to unlock my lg g4. Is there a guide thats better than others? Its an 815 model and is stock. I want to unlock it and install CM and all that. It was way easier with my old Samsung s3, but the g4 seems confusing?
Thanks
try this.

here is the list.. adn unlocking will void warranty.. this phones are prone to getting bootloop issue from hardware. and must be sent back to repair. and theyll noticed the bootloader its unlocked...many ways it shows in screen start up..you request a unlock.bin key... ect...

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.

Well , there is even others option , so even if people have it yet they can write down their opinion
Yes from me as well...
I bought LG G3 D855 and got know boot loader is locked afterwords. So I vote "No".
Nevertheless, this is beautiful device.

Unlocked bootloader is not "always" necessary, the G2 have loki and not unlocked bootloader, whit great and a lot of development, i'm sure if we can get loki, don't need an unlocked bootloader.
Yes

Not loki but thecube said something about another kind of exploit, if it's not possible with the "standard" unlock.
Before buying the g3 , I already knew about th locked bootloader. But I just have to get it because of the sexy look . Would love to try cm , aosp on this phone but I can wait as the stock rom isn't that bad that I wanted to use cm straightaway .
You guys might be waiting some time ?, doubt it will happen, but hope the best for you.
Returned mine, but not only because of the locked bootloader

Always gotta be a negative person when it comes to boot loader being unlocked one way or another.. So please just go troll somewhere else
Got the phone,saled but if bootloader unlock i will buy again
Ive been waiting to buy it until the bootloader is unlocked. I refuse to spend my money on a device that im buying outright and not be able to do what I want with it.
LG your going to lose money if you don't allow an unlock. .sony does...htc does...samsung doesnt even lock the Canadian bootloaders.... ill buy from one of those companies instead until you do what is right for your customers.

Hi, im looking at getting the lg g4.
however, my question is does the lg have a similar software to the samsung such as knox which is tripped if you flash a custom kernel etc

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.

i have not use this one but its similar.. i used for h811 system image... on mine i had to be on LP 10n not sure aabout your variant... then copy the system image file ... its a 4.2GB file then put phone into download.. i opened folder and do a comand promt in there.. follow the commands and it moves the system image enter leave and it restarts with root on the phone....
like i said this is for the tmobile h811.. but its similar to this guide never done this guide so follow their steps..... good luck
First of all thank you for sharing this Im afraid i might brick ny device i thought there was some easy method like CF Auto root one click n done ... I Have to wait for bootloader to unlock i cant risk or is there any easy method flashfire?

i know i did mine too.. i was afraid too.. but there was an eaiser way for my h811.. its the same but it only talks about that phone... but it should be similar..
Theres no one click methods unless bootloaders unlocked which dont look like is ever gonna happen. As long as you follow the steps ure pretty safe.
NOTE THIS IS GOR TMOBILE ONLY H811
just read and since its shorter maybe you can get an idea on what to do with the other method .. this guy says to read the low effort as its the same....

I unlocked my bootloader to try CM13, but I'm not happy. Now I can't find any guides or pages that explain how I can revert my phone back to original state (bootloader locked)? Can't sell this phone when the device unlocked text is on the boot screen
Plese don't respond if you just tell me to google or search, because I did that...

There is no way to lock to the bootloader again. Once unlocked it's unlocked for good.

As above.... its been well documented both by LG on their page and on here... its a one way trip... In fact, at each stage of the Unlock process doesnt LG warn you its irreversible

You can easily sell if the bootloader is unlocked btw, I've sold loads of devices with an unlocked bootloader.

Does and Unlocked Bootloader just affect DRM content and Can an Unlocked Bootloader take an OTA or work through LG bridge / LGUP?
I must admit.. I couldnt do it

Yep, DRM content is fine, I've not encountered anything that doesn't work.
I returned to stock with LGUP and took OTAs on my previous device when I did the warranty return and didn't have any issues.
