Any way to convert US Cellular G3 to anything else

Hi guys I have a practically new US Cellular g3 and would like to completely flash it to a different one or just unlock the radio and use it on Tmobile. Is there any way to do this as I have read somewhere this version has an unlocked bootloader. I dont ever plan on using the phone on US Cellular.

What is:
Your Android Version?
Your Model Number?
Software Version?

Model US990
Android 4.4.2
Baseband MPSS.DI.4.0.c2.1-00007-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Kernel Version 3.4.0
Build KVT49L.US99010c
Software Version US9010c
I see that there is some sprint way to unlock it to Tmobile merely by changing the build.prop

Do you think this would work. I really like this phone and would really like to have this functioning on my service provider. It just says Invalid Card when I put an ATT or Tmobile sim in.

It might be easier to just take it into the store and tell them you purchased it and wish to use it on your current plan. They should be able to do it for you.

I should of been more clean in my Question.
The EU Lg bootloader Unlock that is available. would it work on the 815K compared to just a 815 or 815EU.
As far as i can gather from the state of these threads the phones are the same. (besided bands you mentioned) when it comes to unlocking the bootloader.
~Thanks in Advance.

Unlock only works for 815EU models currently.. No other models are supported/unlocked...

Any way to unlock bootloader for H815 (TWN)

Hey guys,
when trying to unlock the bootloader the official way, I get the error message
"Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader."
LG support has not responded yet, but the message indicates what their answer will be.
Is there any way to get the bootloader unlocked other than having LG send the unlock code?
I found several threads all over the internet with people describing the same problem, but no solution was posted. Since all those threads are from mid-2015, I was wondering if anyone found a solution by now.

If you find a solution , please let me know .

( "Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader." )
its clear enough to me... you cant.
and theres no other way.. yet... maybe one day it will.. unofficially.

I asked this a month ago with no luck.
There hasn't been any real progress on having an unofficial bootloader unlock since august/september of 2015.....
It's almost a year since anyone has really talked about it. I don't think it's ever gonna happen :/

Of course I meant an unofficial way when I wrote "other than having LG send the unlock code". Anyone working on that?

I asked the LG developer support. All they replied so far was that by company policy, they do not allow models other than "European market" to be unlocked at the moment.
I answered that I am not satisfied with this "policy" and that I'd like a reason for them to block customers from their freedom of choice what to do with their devices. No answer yet - will post here when I get one.

More people need to ask their developer support program to make an official unlock for the bootloder...this is not a one man job we all need to participate in this all those having TAIWAN H815 models..

Is there any way to at least gain root access on these phones? Mine is running software version "V20c-TWN-XX", which is Android 6.0 with security patch level 2016-01-01.

LP yes. but i seen 2 different post claiming root on MM with locked bootloader.

It's easiest to just downgrade to Lollipop via LGUP. Though it still took me a while to find the right pre-rooted image to flash on my phone.

I just completed the process of using LGUP to rollback to Lollipop v10c, and then rooted it. Surprisingly I was even able to get Xposed framework installed with the bootloader locked. I guess the only thing I'm really missing is TWRP, but I can live without it.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

not so sure ... but LG has removed the team the worked on past phones and eithe has a new team or will be not making any more phones. .... g5 sales arent too good...

I've the H815 V20d-TWN-XX 6.0 MM with sec. patch level 2016-06-01, and as I've read, no way to unlock bootloader for this model, so frustrating.
I was hoping at least to find a way to have this particular G4 version rooted with the bootloader locked, does anyone know how can this be done?
Been looking for a solution but haven't found anything so far, I'd just flash a previous version but some people wrote in other threads that this 20d has noticeable battery improvements...
So any help with, as for now, the best way to go to get root access in this device, is very much appreciated. I've been trying to do this for weeks
Thanks!

I am assuming with the boot loader locked, there is no way to try out any of the custom ROMs here ....what a shame as I wanted to give lineage a go

There may be an unofficial way.

Yep, the bootloader unlock from LG is not available for every version of H815... Search the forum about root and bootloader unlock, probably someone with a non-EU version can help you.

You don't have any solution with MM firmware. But if you downgrade to LP, you can get root with the inject method.
You can downgrade with the app LGUP for MS Windows (search more information in this SubForum).
And you can get root with:

But I think you should reconsider rooting your phone.

Has there been any updates progress on rooting other G7 Models?

I have an G7+ model LMG7EAW, the european international model. Does anyone know if progress on my model and other G7's is being made? I know the developer RunningNak3d(he's a user on XDA) is attempting to develop one from what i've read of his posts, but he posts within the other LG phone subforums and just mentions the G7 offhand. It's kind of hard to follow because he posts info in disparate threads, there is no centralized G7 thread he is posting in. He is only one working on it afaik. Hoping someone knows the current state of development on root for other G7 models besides the EM.

Until the price comes down so I can pick one up on eBay, I am not working on it right now.
I will be working on the V40 before the G7 now that there is a model that has an unlockable bootloader. However, that work should apply to the G7.

The g7 has an unlockable bootloader model, the lm-g710em can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. If you could obtain one of those phones, would it be possible to find a way to unlock the bootloaders of all other G7 models through some sort of exploit? LG has a terrible track record for unlocking bootloaders and getting their phones rooted from what i've read, so i'm curious if the 710em would be a starting point for you to get all the G7 models unlockable and rootable. There are few threads on the G7 development subforum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/development
I can try to find a good deal on that model for you, do you have a budget range?
Also, i'm grateful for all you've done and your work. Thank you.

Curious, any progress on the G7?

Does anyone know how to get a root by paying money for it? Who to contact?

Why don't you wait for pie first? Once pie is out you will not be able to install it without losing root.
