I've searched for hours on google and this forum about rooting, bootloader unlock, flashing, and cant really find anything, so I'm guessing i cant do much with it. Can anyone tell me if there is anything i can do to unlock this phone? I just got out of prison for 5 years... It used to be so easy to root a phone back then. Now it seems impossible wtf.

Blame LG for not allowing bootloader unlock on the g7. The only phone that can be unlocked is the European model.

I remember us being able to attain root using the Optimus 4XHD root tool, then I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007961
Does anyone with more technical knowledge than I have think that there is a possibility deep within there to obtain a straight bootloader unlock method for the p930s? I've been stuck on Stock ICS with a locked bootloader since July because so far none of the unbricking methods will work for my phone (tried on Vista 64, 7 32/64, XP Pro/64 and 8)
No one is going to invest any time trying to figure out how to unlock the locked bootloader when you can just flash an older KDZ and avoid the issue altogether.
Your phone is not special. If you're having a problem downgrading, you're just doing something wrong.

Drumist, I always enjoy reading your comments. Thanks for being active here.
I read somewhere on google that the T-Mobile version was going to come factory unlocked. Can anyone comment?
When where ? Can you add the link

You mean the bootloader is factory unlocked? If so, then yes, it is.

The bootloader is unlocked on T-Mobile
I find it odd that the key was already turned. Normally they have the door locked but give you the key to use if you so choose. Honestly the way this phone came out without any kind of safety for the boot partitions is asking for a malicious app/virus to brick phones. Unless purple Drake did the factory unlock but I don't think they stated that.

No they stated that when they were exploring root and unlock methods they were surprised to find out that the Tmo version was already unlocked... I would think that raises the chances that LG releases a key to unlock other variants as well? ... other than at&t and Verizon that is...

Yeah and you know this might sound silly but I wonder if anyone has tried the normal unlock commands in fastboot for the other phones. Development isn't booming like on samsung or htc phones so you never know. Pretty sure somebody out there has tried I mean somebody had to right? Maybe Ill try to lock my bootloader in fastboot and see what happens. I would like to have it locked when I'm not modding that's just good practice.
*Edit
locked bootloaders and encrypted bootloaders are different just wanted to make sure everyone reading this that didn't know that now knows.
As always people keep getting confused between sim unlock and bootloader unlock.

Can confirm. Got T-mo G3 with out knowing. Feels like I won the lotto.
The D851 variant ships with an unlocked bootloader, but SIM-locked to T-Mobile. Just to make it 100% clear.

I was able to sim unlock my G3 for like $3...there are several posts in the forums with similar success stories.
I used unlockcode247 and it worked like a charm. I got the code in under 15 minutes. $2. Can't go wrong.
Hello there, i got an LG G4 h815 few days ago, when ever i get new device first thing i do is root it, and it was always very easy for me.
with this g4 i got problems, try to go to LG website and unlock bootloader, it say i cant cause my device is h815 taiwan, so i read more in google and understand official unlock is only for the euro devices.
so i google more try to understand how can i unlock it unofficially, and found nothing, as well as try to google for a way to root it with out unlock bootloader, and also coulnt find.
im sure im missing something, cause i dont think its possible that there is no root for an old device, any help on how to root my phone?
thanks a head.
Lots of people here have H815 TWN...please can some one make a specific thread for rooting or installing xposed on Taiwanese H815 without the risking of bricking or bootlooping the device...meaning successful rooting ...

unfortunatelly you cant unlocked till today.. maybe later if someone can do it... but you can add root to locked bootloader... i have not tried this method.. i tried similar to h811 tmobile.. but its the same procedure.. mine is unlockacle but i dont want to with the bootloop issue... unlocking bootloader voids warranty. and root too but you can always try the kdz that disables the big cores and undo the root..

thank you, i found the root for locked bootloader, i done it, but its only for 5.1 android, and i still cant flash roms, only one rom witch they make for locked bootloader, so after all the process went back to unroot 6.0 androis >:
hope some1 will break this bootlock .
Has anyone been able to unlock the bootloader on their verizon phone with sunshine? I cant see any other way to do it since the OEM unlock option has been removed from the phone. I'd really like to root this phone but id rather not spend money on that without knowing it will work.

Did you find any way dude? If so please help lol
I'm just seeing a few posts about how they got their phone unlocked and rooted by using a paid service...
This is an observation but I doubt this phone's dev scene will even get off the ground if the only method is to pay someone to unlock their phone.
Is there any method that doesnt require paying for a service?
If there is, can someone actually detail, step by step, on how to achieve an unlock and root?

No.
Paid is the only way -- either buying used phone from China with it already done or someone doing it with software through your PC...
Which is why development never happened with this phone vs the "EVERY V30 in the world can be Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted By Users" situation over in the V30 forum.

That was outdated information. You can now root, I think.
You can bootloader unlock and root, Did myself on my v35 a couple weeks ago.
