LG G4 818P with locked bootloader. - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning,
I got an LG G4 818P but checking on LG DEV website about the unlock bin I got that:
Unfortunately, your device( United Arab Emirates, (ASBT_3PIN(UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)), LGH818P.GCC )does not support unlocking the bootloader.
There is any way to proceed?
Cheers and thank you

You are able to unlock your G4. Check the xda post by steadfasterX in which you will be able to unlock bootloader through his UsU method.

The lg g4 h818p bootloader cannot be unlocked officially. It can be unlocked unofficially with steadfasterX's Usu unlock method BUT you will loose the touch screen function, rendering the phone essentially unusable and useless.
Quote from the referenced link: "temporary disabled: H818 (KNOWN ISSUE: TOUCH STOPS WORKING! I'm still working on a fix ...)"
There is no hope at this stage that this will be solved anytime soon. Google H818p on the linked thread and see for yourself and do not ask the question there again as it has been asked and answered too many times.
So, unfortunately you are SOL. You cannot install ANY custom rom without an unlocked bootloader. Your ONLY OPTION is to sell your H818p and get one that can be unlocked (see the OP {first original post by the developer in the linked thread}).
@crettit1204 @waseem55 Suggest you guys read things a little more carefully before providing suggestions that could have unintended consequences and render a member's phone useless.

Taiwan H815 model bootloader unlock help

Hey guys,i recently got the LG G4 coming from a G3
Trying to unlock the bootloader of this phone i saw that the Taiwan model that i have isnt supported
I am thinking of what i can do to unlock my device
I thought a possibility would be to flash the european image on my phone in download mode ?
Or enter a different IMEI to my device when LG Website asks me to enter it
If you guys have any luck with the other international versions of LG G4 please let me know
Thank you very much

I know a developer in korea they say all Internationals models of G4 will have bootloader unlocked although he doesnt recommend it but it will be available.. He may not be sure of other carrier varients currently lg is working on it and its status will be available on their site when finished

Its one of those ill believe it when i see it. Now i know. There have been plenty of phones and tablets get unlocked officially and unofficialy 1.2.even 3 years later. I just know the encryption that the bls have on them and its bassicly unhackable. Thats why i say exploits. Unless someone finds the trusted key that lg uses. Which from what ive read. Is generated randomly from each iemi and android id. But i for one hope it happens and if ita any consolation that does revive my hope in g4 development. Lol i got a lg k7 unlocked and u can oem unlock then fastboot oem unlock. But theres absolutly no development for this device yet. Im bakin up a rom for it now

US Variant H815 rooting question

Before anyone asks, yes I've searched, but have not been able to find any solid answers. So here I am. I just bought an LG G4 from ebay, I was listed as a T-Mobile model but when it arrived, I discovered it was a US model H815. It's running vx10b-eur-xx. These apparently have locked bootloaders. My question is, is there any method I can use to root this device and run a ROM like CM14, or am I stuck with what it's got? Like I said, all my searches never really come up with a for-sure answer. (hopefully this is in the right spot)

Apparently there is a US Variant H815, when I attempted the unlock the bootloader the LG developer website stated that the device could not be unlocked because it was a US model. Not the exact quote, but close enough. Thanks for the reply though.

How to unlock bootloader without official method

Hi guys,
I have a LG G4 H815 with android 5.1 (Since the bootloop issue affected, im using 4 core fix). So it seems i cant unlock my bootloader from official method. When i enter Device ID in developer site it says "Unfortunately, your device (Singapore(ARROW(SINGAPORE))) does not support unlocking the bootloader." After some search i found that LG stopped giving bin file for this model. So are there any way to unlock this bootloader since i need to install marshmallow and the bootloader should be unlocked to to root marshmallow. If anyone knows to unlock bootloader unofficial way, please be kind enough to share it :3. (Sorry for my bad English)
Thanks! Have a good day!

YES - you can unlock the H815L, unofficially, provided you are on Marshmallow and you have an ARB version of 2 or less. Your ARB version can be ascertained with SALT.
Refer to this thread by steadfasterX: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU for the unlock method.
Read the OP thoroughly and completely, making sure you comprehend. If you plug H815L in on the search bar on that thread, you will see that it has been done by H815L owners successfully.

Can i flash a bell kdz for virgin?

So i just got my old cracked lg g4 h812 canadian model to add to my phone collection seeing that my lg q6 is my daily driver and i can't root it and i wanted to get back into the android game with rooting and all that and i want to downgrade my lg g4 to android lollipop and i can't find any virgin firmwares. So will the bell firmware work for my virgin lg g4?
Btw if it says my devices are lg g4 and lg g6 i put lg g6 to take the place of my lg q6 cause there's no lg q6 option. So now you know

I use this site: http://phonefirmwares.com/lg-g4-h812-android-6-0-phone-stock-firmware-rom-canada-variants/ usually but it appears to be down right now. Hopefully it's not defunct. They do have the Bell versions. Yes, you can use the TELUS rom but may be preferable to stick with Bell for now and get your phone carrier unlocked, if you haven't already.
You want to be on Marshmallow if you are going to do the bootloader unlock process. It will give you so many more options and you can have root on Marshmallow if you want. You do not have to root first in this process, it comes after the unlock and TWRP install.

Just tried it. They changed their URL.
Scroll down to the latest 6.0 version if you plan to bootloader unlock and select a later version (later version e.g. z instead of a)

You'll have to Google for it then ... OR search the Canadian H812 guide thread and search Bell/Virgin there and see if a member can help you in one those searched posts for a kdz - you do not have to stick to the E version if there's a later more security/bug - free up-to-date one ...
