Guys i got my phone stolen a S5 which i recently unlocked, i was so happy after unlock it but... life sucks sometimes.
I want to know if it is possible to unlock the bootloader, offcially or nonoffcially, and if it is which version should i look for? build? Company?
ETC? and which models should i avoid. Thanks!
Eu h815 unlocked .... This one is bootloader unlockable
h811 can be unlocked too.
generally only the single sim g4 can be unlocked. h815 difference is that it can keep warranty even after unlocking.

Hi Guys,
Is there any way to install TWRP/Custom ROMs, on the H815 TWN variant? I tried today to unlock the bootloader today, but it still says not supported (screenshot attached), let me know if any one has found a way to Bump the kernel like on the old G2/G3 models.
Thanks everyone =D
I have exactly the same issue unfortunately. I'd be happy with ROOT for now.
I hope someone in the community can help us out.
EDIT: root (and downgrade from MM if needed) for TWN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/twn-root-question-downgrade-root-t3328465
Sorry but it's not possible now. There's lots of us waiting for Bootloader to be unlocked for TWN model H815... but currently impossible.
Luckily we can still have Lollipop with root.

And luckily phones like the Nexus 6P or almost any other competitor allows for bootloader unlocking unlike LG.
So if you get pissed off enough, that's an option
Looking to buy a new phone, settled on the G4, gonna make sure I get a revision 1.1 and a 603 serial phone.
I am gonna be on MetroPCS so let's keep that in mind.
Really need help chosing, I am looking at the 815 and the 811 along with US991.
Any help would be great.
Or if you had a phone suggestion below $350 that would be comparable or better please share.

So you would suggest the 815 then.
the h815 from the specific countries on that list are the only ones with unlockable bootloaders. if you buy an h815 from a region not on that list you cannot unlock it and thus cant have twrp, custom roms, etc
The H815 or international version is the best choice ...LG is giving u the files to unlock ur bootloader ...theres are many roms out there u can flash and try ....And I m talking from personal experience i have a H815 and i have already flash 3 different roms and i have unlock my bootloader and didnt encounter any problems at all ....A friend of mine bought another h815 and encounter a bootloop after a official software update but after a factory reset all was working good ....i live in europe ....

id say go with h811... if you unlock bootloader you warranty is over... if you buy international if something happens you must send back phone for repair...to what ever country you get it from according to the list that can be unlocked... not sure if you buy in the states the h815 comes with no warranty. either..
I know the EM can be rooted, but is someone working on a bootloader unlock for the other G7 models?
I got in touch with TMobile to see if their version would be bootloader unlockable. They gave me the run around, told me to contact LG who hasn't responded. One thing I did manage to get out of TMobile was a firm denial that they requested the device remain locked its likely apathy on the part of LG holding us back at this point. ?I haven't dug into mine yet because I have more interesting unlocked devices to work on
Giving that the only European models can be unlocked most likely not but maybe a bug in the future.
Have saw a AWM model which flash to EM model and get its bootloader unlocked on a second hand trading website in China. The seller said he flash the EM firmware and change the IMEI in order to unlock his phone "officially"
I'm eagerly waiting for the US unlocked G710ULM. If this variant is unlocked, why didn't LG unlocked bootloader?, it's been almost 4 months of no news from LG. .Why giving special status to unlocked European models , since LG V30? If that's the case then LG G6 US997 could be the last US model enjoying root?

Hi,
I have a great opportunity to buy G7 at low price, but the model is G710ULM. I hear that this is UNLOCKED model. My questions:
1. Can it be rooted?
2. Can TWRP be flashed?
For 2. I do not care much, but I absolutely need 1. so that I can remove bloatware.

Unfortunately you can't root the g710ulm model. Maybe by unlocked they mean that it's sim unlocked.

Not yet, it's only sim unlocked not bootloader unlocked.
Btw, how likely is that the root will be available in the following months (either by an exploit or by unlocking the bootloader)?

LG ,if you are reading this, this is not fair that the previous LG flagship i.e LG G6 (LM-US997) had botloader unlock from LG itself. Why is the devices after the USA unlocked LG G6 do not have bootloader unlock? Starts from LG V30 to current LG V40 all the US unlocked really did not get support from LG? Why did they stop after LG G6? Why special status only EU variants to current models? LG, your devices are great, but if you want higher sales, just do not be region specific, bootloader unlock in all variants even on dual SIMs, it's 2019 now, put either 90, 120 or 144Hz best screens from LG DISPLAY. We don't want to feel that LG UI UX is heavy if you put high refresh rates displays that make the use of high end SOCs, just listen to your customers. Then definitely LG UX will be the best.
Well this sucks... I also have this model and would have loved LineageOS

You are reading old information, see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568
You can cross flash with(patched LG Up (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222) Europian variant and proceed (own risk).
I have flashed my Verizon unlocked version (ADB won't work) with US version and enabled ADB, FM radio etc.
