hi.
1.
propably it's too late now to ask this and search box doesn't really help nowdays since it gives me thousands of results.
when we flash a kdz to update our firmware, modem and bootloader , our bootloader locks again and we need to contact LG to unlock it ?
if yes,
~we can use the same unlock.bin from before or we definately contact LG again ?
2.
is there any other way to update the firmware, modem and bootloader without flashing the whole kdz ?
~maybe if there is any way on linux we can extract the kdz and get the .img files ?
~maybe a tool that gives us a choice what to flash from the kdz like the mtk devices have (the mtk devices don't use kdz, we already have the .img files) ?
flashing genysis rom for example, i saw it was flashing bootloader, modem, etc. Is it possible genysis rom to be able to update our firmware, modem and bootloader ?
And sorry ! Close to 1 and half years or more to ask this question but i really need it to be cleared for me and everyone and i will edit the title later properly if there is a way so that everyone can find it with the search box.

in my case of h811 it stays always unlocked . the best way to upgrade is to do a KDZ. thats a clean installaion. selecting the refurbished option. so it wipes everything.

Oh very nice. It stays unlocked ? Great. That's what I needed to know.
Then kdz or other method doesn't matter.

but us h811 dont need .bin file. all am saying for h811 we just enter command thats it. no bin file request. and i think it should be unlocked. maybe if LG changes board or something inside then yes it would be locked. am just guessing.

So i decided to unlock my h815sea bootloader, every thing went fine. I was able to flash twrp, flash android 6.0 with root and boot into system. I wanted to install xposed, i downloaded v78-sdk23-arm64.zip. I flash the zip and reboot into system. Now i cant go past lg boot screen. Could someone tell me how i can go into twrp? I am able to go into download mode, but LGUP application shows phone as unknown, can I use lg flashtool to flash android 6.0 kdz? OR am i able to flash android 5.1 kdz since i am able to go into download mode. I backed up everything using twrp and have all the files on my desktop.
nvm. I was able to go into recovery and flash genisys rom for xposed framework. For some reason when i try to flash xposed on a stock mm file, phone goes stuck on lg logo.

When did you unlock your bootloader?
I would love to know the answer to that as well.

I was able to get the unlock key when lg accidentally enabled bootloader unlocking for SEA variant on their website. Didn't it use the unlock key until yesterday. Loving MM, so smooth.

There's a guy (shiboby) that is looking for the unlock.bin files to examine to see if he can figure anything out for them. Doubtful anything will come of it, but you may want to send him yours to see if it would help

As an owner of a locked H815 SEA, I would greatly appreciate him being sent this file haha. Or perhaps post it in this thread: [Bounty] [allready $2400+] Unofficial bootloader unlock

Hi,
I am confused regarding my LG G4 model number.
Because Under About Phone -> Hardware Info it shows LG-H815.
But when I connect it to pc & using adb devices, adb lists it as LGLS991e484402e.
Also LS991 0423 is printed on back of the phone near camera & speaker.
But under the battery the sticker with IMEI displays LG-H815 !
What is the model number ?
I need to find it in order to update it.
Are you checking for compatibility with a rom? If so, H815 is the number you're looking for.

Don't worry about the LS991 number. H815 is the version of your phone, the G4 international.

How are you planning on updating? Flashing a rom from xda-developers? If you're not sure, I'd recommend something like imperium rom, which is based on stock and has much the same behavior but is rooted with more options. Just make sure to download the one for H815. Of course, you'll need to have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery before you can do this. Do you have custom recovery already?

Is there any way to install custom recovery without Download mode (& of course without root !) ? Because there is one more problem ! I cant get into download mode. If I use Vol up+ & insert usb cable then I get "Secure boot error 1014" & if i use adb reboot-bootloader or reboot bootloader phone restarts normally. Also fastboot mode is not working. Fastboot devices either do nothing or waiting for device ! USB debugging & OEM unlock is on.

The only method we have for our phones at this point is to use Download mode.... have you done some research on that error? Google or the forum search tool?

Yes I have searched for that & some related errors. But almost all of them says that it is because of locked bootloader & to unlock the bootloader I need to enter fastboot mode (Not working as of now) also I have tried many drivers mentioned in the posts (LG universal, LG WHQL etc), LG Bridge, LG PC suit, LG flash tool, LG mobile support tool etc & Also tried the same things on Windows 7.
I don't really know much about fastboot problems, you'll have to look elsewhere for help. Sounds like that's your next step, though. Look for people who can help you get fastboot/download mode working.

Hi Vishesh,
Were you able to rectify the problem and and update the phone ? I am facing the same problem with my g4 H815
looking to unlock the bootloader on my h815 and was wonder if I could flash a european kdz to get an unlock key for lg's dev website?

You can flash European kdz. But afterward you cannot receive bootloader unlock support
is it possible to flash a custom kdz of a different h815 variant that is already rooted ive looked around for pre rooted but nothing for h815-v20i-sea-xx just v10d euro id really like something with the latest security patches that i can install adaway and a layers theme idk maybe a temp root would work or i am hoping for a lost cause? i dont wanna brick this thing
Here, take a look at this:

I just purchased a Verizon LG G8 that is unlocked and want to use it on Metro. I haven't gotten the phone yet but I would like to (if it's possible) flash a unbranded firmware. I'm confused about whether I can use LGUP or LG flash tool to do this. Can someone please tell me if this can be done and if so what is the best firmware to flash to have it unbranded with minimal bloat?
I miss the good old days on XDA where people actually came on XDA and there was always someone able to help out. I feel like that doesn't exist anymore. Too many phones and too many different carriers.
I don't think there's a patched LGUP to do this for LG G8 yet.

Holy shiit, someone actually answered my question! That is insane! Thanks for the info man!
Is there a y method that currently works to flash firmware on the LG g8? I would like to flash the stock unlocked carrier unbranded firmware.
There is no way to flash through LGUP or any other tools currently but you can unlock boot-loader root and install firmware package through twrp but doesn't work for T-Mobile or Metro

There is a thread for it and same thing at the g7 thread. Just use octoplus jtag pro to flash the v35 engineering boot-loader to device and from there you can unlock boot-loader and do all the stuff. If you dont have octoplus jtag pro there is a guy who will do it for you he charges i dont know how much though.
I would like to thank everyone for there support for this most awesome but difficult phone. I have an unlocked US LG V30+ phone which an error in cross flashing accidently caused my phone to loose everything I needed to use LGUP. Does anyone know of an exe rom to flash on this phone to regain download option or a full restore to start fresh to do the rooting the right way? I know some mobile devices have exe for full restore but haven't found one for this phone yet.
Thanks again and I hope for a possible positive answer.

Your bootloader is NOT relocked unless you flashed fastboot command to re-lock it.
Your bootloader is still unlocked.
