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.

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...

815 are "international" version. Yours specifically I could not say. This is the spec sheet from PDADB for that model, but according to that it has a link to Telcel. Telcel is Mexico..

Thank you for the info, it's weird to think that it's Mexico as I am in South Africa. Will have to see once we have root etc what I will need to do and use but thanks for the info. Been weird as my G2 was the D802 international variant. But now I can't find much about the 815P model.

LG-815P is for LATAM, South Africa versions, check it out here: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g4-6901.php
What parts are you looking for 815P, at most of times, parts of different variants in the same model are interchangeable, except for frame, housing and loudspeaker assembly.

I have the version for Mexico and no, you need a ROM for H815P.
The root system can be flashed over any 815 version.

Yes there are 2 different things.
1) For the H815P you MUST flash a H815P ROM in order to not brick it. If you flash a H815N, H815TR, etc... your phone will be in an infinite boot loop best case scenario. Not really sure what happens if you flash a different ROM. It may not even boot.
2) When you root, you need to flash a system image that has root injected. Basically a hacked official ROM with the root installed on it. This system image works for every H815 version, so you dont have to worry about which variant you are on as long as it says H815 and matches your current ROM version.
Hope I made myself clear. If not, feel free to ask :fingers-crossed:
I thought 815p was pacific or puerto rico
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.

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.
mr turtle droid said:
I'm making this thread to update the progress towards root and such for the T-MOBILE LG v30
Click to expand...

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.

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:

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....

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.
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?
