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...

Guys im looking to buy a G4, Is possible to unlock the bootloader?

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.

[PETITION] LG K 10 BootLoader Unlock !

Man I even don't understand how is it possible to make from good device, piece of sh* *t.
But LG Know How
Why they spending time of developer's to remove root possibilities and after that adding LG modified bootloader unlock procedure.
I believe if LG DEVELOPER'S was not spending time for removing root possibilities and was Customizing BootLoader Unlock Process, everything was done until this moment, when users want to root the device, but it's impossible by Official Way.
All respected companies using stock android bootloader unlock procedure, like alkatel and others, or already made his costume BL unlock procedure, like Sony...
Only LG have this problem, like with my Old Optimus 3D, I needed to flash customs BootLoader, because stock one cannot be unlocked, simply to flash other staffs like costume Recovery or Kernel.
I sent a massage to LG and they suggested me to search on XDA, exactly not LG Support, LG FUN CLUB responded to my question
And it's A Class Smartphones manufacturer.
How it's possible to make ordinary smartphone with Quallcom Chipset, most respected company making Smartphones Chips.
They making the best CPU's, GPU's and modem chips in the Earth.
And after that Coming LG and removing fastboot mode...
Why?
Like I already said to LG: "It's very very bad decision to remove FASTBOOT Mode.
And I believe it's my last LG Device."
If I'm not wrong, Bernard Shaw said: "Those who appreciates Security more than Freedom, don't deserve nothing".
There is an online petition for unlocking bootloaders of LG K10 phones.
Please sign it, more people will sign it, more posibilities that LG will fix it!

Yes I also like very much design of this device.
And I have Original LG Quick Cover, with this protection it looks even better.
But bootloader unlock and rooting problems, for me personally, close all his strong sides ?

I found this information here.
I know that is not 100% possible, but it's 2016 model, it's not old device, so I think it will receive Nougat
And also I suggest to look at this Google Request.

Custome ROM!
Like any Smart Developr, before working with some device I'm checking if this device will receive android update!
Because if our LG K10 will receive Nougat Update, ALL MY WORK WITH MARSHMALLOW WILL BE LOST ?

My opinion.
I was thinking why LG K 10 with MEDIATEK Chipset can be rooted and with QUALCOM no opportunity to get root.
And it's showing LG Developer's incompetence.
From my own experience I know that is much more difficult work with MEDIATEK Devices, that's why I don't released Cris Kelo Rom for Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo.
I taken latest Samsung Firmware for this device, rooted it, fixed it to work with Xposed, but after that I got Rom Full of Small bugs.
And when I was fixing one bug I was getting one or sometimes two new bugs, finally I was mad with this Piece of Mediatek technology and gifted it, after that I purchased this Piece of LG K10 Device…
What is the point?
For me it's normal that I can't make something, I'm not Professional Program Engineer, I'm Amateur Developer and LG Corporation Must Have Competent Program Engineer's, they must know how to make the same android on both Chipsets…

We absolutely need you here sir! I am waiting for Nougat from a long time! I worked a lot on this device. So I naturally made the decision of waiting for Nougat because this device is completely locked down and moreover I don't even the firmware file for my phone (LG K420DS, Same processor as LG K420N but 2 GB RAM).

I also waiting for Nougat Update, then will try my best to make something.
But until update is released we must insist that LG must make Android Update With UNBLOCKABLE BOOTLOADER AND ACCESS TO FASTBOOT MODE.
It will be much better official way to root it and unlock bootloader than some our invents ?
After that it will be very easy to customize Kernel, Recovery and System ?

LG Must be joking ?
Was searching other time for root or unlock bootloader and decided to take a look how many LG devices can be officially unlocked bootloader.
There only 4 devices, Man it's ridiculous ?
OFFICIAL LG BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
It's some kind of joke, can I laf now?

[VS996] Verizon V30 Bootloader Unlock/Root Progress

Hello. Just would like to get the ball rolling on this, as no one has yet to make a thread for this device. I realize chances look slim right now of any possibility, but we might as well get to brainstorming.

hope in some Root user method ....

unnecessary thread. please see below for all updates for all models. At the moment we are speculating that only ONE model will be available for unlock in the USA. The unbranded unlocked carrier model US998.

That isn't the point of the other thread the other thread is for tmobile v30 which already has a bootloader unlock just no fastboot flash commands

The first post states its for the T-Mobile model, but all the information up until now is the same as we currently have no progress. It just so happens there are more T-Mobile users of the V30 than there are of the Verizon model. Once unlock, fastboot, etc can be addressed for one unlockable model any progress will branch off onto other US unlockable models.

Not really they face different challenges and why hold back the tmo thread for issues pertaining to unlocking a bootloader when they don't need that part?

Agreed. There's also a general bootloader unlock/root thread that even supersedes the T-Mobile thread.
LG V30 - Unlock bootloader and Root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/unlock-bootloader-root-t3665927
It was started back in September, and the T-Mobile thread was a fork of that one. Because the T-Mobile people already had bootloader unlock and didn't want to discuss bootloader unlock. So they started their own thread, and that thread op says he ONLY wants to discuss the T-Mobile variant in that thread.

Well, Verizon LG V30 variant doesn't have bootloader unlock. It's quite different from the T-mobile situation. So, this Verizon thread is another fork.
ALSO, due to information not available back in September I wouldn't be surprised if some or all the bootloader locked carrier variants (like Verizon especially) have fastboot flash commands -- if someone could unlock the bootloader.
This is a complete turnaround from what I thought back in September, when it seemed LG had removed the fastboot flash commands from all the 2017 flagship phones. If you read that post I linked above I give my reasons why the change in thinking.
I still believe the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list is the only GUARANTEED way these LG V30 phones can be rooted -- and thus why I advised everyone to buy the phones that would be eligible for that bootloader unlock list... But I would be very curious to see an AT&T or Verizon or even U.S. Cellular LG V30 model bootloader unlocked by some exploint -- to see what's underneath.
While this could all be discussed in the LG Bootloader Unlock and Root thread, there's nothing wrong with having a dedicated Verizon variant thread if there's enough interest. Basically you will need some developer to find an exploit.
Read post #2 of the T-Mobile thread. At first it seemed like it was starting out as duplicate/rehash of the LG V30 Bootloader Unlock and Root thread -- and I pointed out it was unnecessary -- until the op said he only wanted to discuss the T-Mobile variant. OK, then.
Same here.
Sent from my official carrier unlocked LG V30+ US998

I'm considering getting a V30. If I find a US998, is unlock & root virtually guaranteed? Also, it sounds like the T-mobile models are unlockable & rootable. If I find a carrier-unlocked T-mobile phone, will it be able to use Verizon's LTE technology (or whatever is the latest) or will I be stuck with GSM or something else that doesn't match the best Verizon has to offer?
Thanks!

The open market US998 V30/V30+ has not yet been placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. Should be, soon (it's been six weeks since release).
The T-Mobile variant does not yet have root. One guy said he has it figured out, but he bricked his phone and is waiting for replacement. In the meantime, other methods are being worked on.
You wouldn't have Verizon CDMA bands with T-Mobile phone.

Most likely not, they use the iemi to identify devices.

Okay so, since I'm sticking with the VS996 (for now) I'm really optimistic on root/bootloader unlock, just to clarify though, so the current situation is that the T-Mobile variant HAS unlocked bootloader BUT commands disabled hence no TWRP or root...
On the other hand we have the Verizon variant which has LOCKED bootloader, but could potentially have all commands intact/not striped away...
So all in all, if some amazing devs find a way to unlock the bootloader, we could potentially have a strong chance of root?, (Assuming commands are actually there)

With android 8.0 officially rolled out, I'm just wondering if anyone is currently looking for any exploits/or working towards cracking/unlocking the bootloader, thanks for any replies, staying optimistic :fingers-crossed:

Personally not a developer or really know anything about developing root, but we could start a bounty for the VS996 and/or other versions.

Sounds good, hopefully this will add some encouragement to any developers currently trying :highfive:

Omg, spent hours scouring XDA for 'VS996' & even just '996' only ever finding one thread... and a random Google search finds this thread. Anyways, my adhd makes busy forums hard to sift thru and I'll cut to the chase as I've been reading for hours... On this VS996...
I have a VS996 that can be used for fodder (testing).
I hate Verizon and want on Google Fi so I'm kicking myself for not getting a Pixel at this point. You got stuff you want me to try? Sweet. I run Linux as a competent user.... But im currently in the middle of soldering a new power jack on my laptop... while ALSO in the middle of moving....
Lemme know.

Unfortunately, although I'm sure everyone in here is very appreciative of this, I don't think there's any developers actually working on the VS996, I hope there is/or will be for you guys, but don't get your hopes up...

You can't even get to the hidden menus with the Verizon variant.

Just so everyone is aware. The VS996 by Verizon does have root with unlocked bootloader. You can Frankenstein Flash vs998 firmware to 7.0 then update to vs998 8.0 then flash an exploit unlock.bin found in the 'WTF...' thread.
I successfully flashed my VS996 to 998, updated to Oreo then flashed the exploit unlock.bin and can confirm this method works.
Verizon can suck it again. Woot.

Does anyone know if someone is working on a bootloader unlock/root for other models?

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?
