Hey, I am helping out a mate and have run into a bit of a conundrum. He has a ATT LG G4 (H810) that he purchased from America and has recently moved back to Australia. I have offered to help him unlock his phone so I purchased an unlock code online but when I attempted to enter it I got "This phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked". The SIM Unlock Process menu could be accessed using 2945#*810# However the network unlock option yields "This phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked" and each other option states "Your phone is not personalised".
Currently the phone is on Android Lollipop and I have managed to root it. I would just like to know if there is a possible way to unlock it.
Cheers.

All,
I'm having issues unlocking my H815 LG G4. I enter the proper IMEI and device information into the location on LG's developer website to unlock it but then I get an error which I have attached.
This has been discussed many times before.
You need a region specific H815 in order to unlock your bootloader. A specific EU variant is the only one that LG supports unlocking right now. My Taiwanese specific G4 is not supported. If you'd like, you can msg LG and pile on the requests to unlock all H815 variants, but I believe they said they wouldn't.
Good luck!

Any Ideas on how to root without bootloader unlocked?
Im having the same issue the only difference is that my LG G4 h815 is the EU open market variant which is the one that can only unlock bootloader im getting the message saying everything is correct but cannot unlock bootloader, i contacted lg support dev, the answer from them is that i cannot unlock my G4, this is bull**** i pay i want full control of my phone. hope someone can come up with a way to root this device without unlocking the bootloader just like with the G3 model.
Returned mine and bought another straight from a site in the UK. Went without a hitch.
Hi guys I have an H815 brand "tim(an'italian carrier) 2 hours ago I was trying to unlock my bootloader and when i wrote the imei it said "your device does not support unlocking the bootloader"
So the question is.. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
The problem is ; your device is not supported...
In other words the tools and guides on the official lg developers site aren't compatible with your version of the phone.
It is probably because you seem to have a carrier branded H815, and that carrier does not allow to unlock the bootloader.
You'll have to wait for LG to support your phone, LG has released a statement saying it will slowly add more devices for unlocking the boatloader

Yeah I only realised this the other day also, shame!
so basically there's no way to get rooted marshmallow at this point without unlocked bootloader
Im having trouble unlocking my phone, got the unlocking number but cant unlock it. It says it permanently blocked But is it possible to unlock it in any way? Phone was bought overseas.
I've bought a network unlock code for my LG G3 D855 and when I'll try to open the menu for the network unlock I just get the following message: "This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked.".
There is only a "Dismiss" Button in the middle of the display and thats it.
I've installed the officially Android 6 for my G3 and rooted it. Is there any other way to unlock it? Might be a reinstallation of the rom help?
Thanks in advance!
Bootloader is not eligible for unlock (not at all surprised) for the XT2075-2. Has anyone found a way to unlock the bootloader or generate a bootloader unlock key (even if it is a paid service)? Worst case, it would be nice if there was a root exploit that could be used.
Well this is frustrating. I bought the unlocked version xt-2075-3, but received the ATT version (xt2075-2) It appears the unlocked version doesnt have 5G for USA anyway... So I am ok with the ATT version... But youre saying I cant root this thing? Wtf?
