I'm waiting for my mate 20x to be delivered soon. Is it worth rooting which one would lose updates. Or should i not root it?
You'd have to unlock the bootloader which isn't possible at the moment, so no root currently.

Well , there is even others option , so even if people have it yet they can write down their opinion
Yes from me as well...
I bought LG G3 D855 and got know boot loader is locked afterwords. So I vote "No".
Nevertheless, this is beautiful device.

Yup, me too
Unlocked bootloader is not "always" necessary, the G2 have loki and not unlocked bootloader, whit great and a lot of development, i'm sure if we can get loki, don't need an unlocked bootloader.
Yes

Not loki but thecube said something about another kind of exploit, if it's not possible with the "standard" unlock.
Before buying the g3 , I already knew about th locked bootloader. But I just have to get it because of the sexy look . Would love to try cm , aosp on this phone but I can wait as the stock rom isn't that bad that I wanted to use cm straightaway .
You guys might be waiting some time ?, doubt it will happen, but hope the best for you.
Returned mine, but not only because of the locked bootloader

Always gotta be a negative person when it comes to boot loader being unlocked one way or another.. So please just go troll somewhere else
Got the phone,saled but if bootloader unlock i will buy again
Ive been waiting to buy it until the bootloader is unlocked. I refuse to spend my money on a device that im buying outright and not be able to do what I want with it.
LG your going to lose money if you don't allow an unlock. .sony does...htc does...samsung doesnt even lock the Canadian bootloaders.... ill buy from one of those companies instead until you do what is right for your customers.

How can I debrand my LG G4?
where can I find the original no brand firmware for uk?
and how to flash it?
if someone can help, I really aprreciate.
Can I use something like this on a T-Mobile version?
You'll have to wait for the bootloader to get unlocked. Each phone will only allow your carrier-specific firmware to be flashed with the locked bootloader, which is why only the international version has root for now.

I have the H815 version, so I think it is possible to unlock the bootloader, right?
But then where can I find the firmwares? for Samsung is very easy because there is the samfirmware, but for LG?
Where to find a guide to do it?
thanks
Nobody can help?
Carrier versions can not be unlocked at the moment
I'm so sad to have taken this phone and not the s6......
marko68, the G4 only came out last week in the UK unfortunately you'll have to wait a few weeks because features you request start to appear. The S6 has been out quite a bit longer.
Yep a bit of patience is all that's required

Hello,
First time poster. I just bought a refurbished unlocked Verizon Note 4. It is currently running Android Version: 6.0.1. I am interested in upgrading the OS to Nougat or Oreo (if possible) Do I have to root the phone to do this? I am not really interested in rooting, I just want to update the OS.
If I have to root, whats the easiest method? I read conflicting threads on the forums saying it cant be done with Verizon Note 4's. Some people say it can be done.
Thanks

Lol well you either have root and an unlocked phone or you dont have an unlocked phone. Hopefully you didnt get charged more for the alledged unlock. Unless you meant simlocked in which case , all verizon phones are unlocked and i hope you didnt pay more for it .

Sorry, when I said unlocked I meant SIM unlocked. I am from Canada and all our carriers simlock the phones while under contract. Anyways, is there a way to force upgrade the OS on these devices without rooting?

Not to my knowledge, but the root/bootloader exploit is for bpa1 which you can Odin back to or forward if applicable...couple of post recently with older bootloaders don't remember if you were one or not
Hello,
I have a Honor 7X BND-L21 bought from Aliexpress.
The phone's firmware was updated from AL10 by the seller before shipping.
I'm basically trying to get a bootlocker unlock code from the Huawei website but the site doesn't give anything after filling in my details.
I was wondering if it's possible to revert back to AL10 without unlocking the bootloader? I want to check if I can get an unlock code after reverting back to AL10 as it's the original firmware.
I've tried firmware finder and it shows there are new updates available but every time I try to install the latest update it fails for some reason.
Looks like I'm not getting OTA updates since I'm still on a security patch from October 2017.
Thanks!

If you download the dc- Phoenix tool you can flash what ever firmware you want with a locked bootloader or not the only thing is it cost 15 euros but it's worth it you get the tool for 72 hours
