The bootloader for the G8s can be unlocked!! - LG G8 Questions & Answers

I entered my device info (European G8s) on the LG bootloader unlock page and they actually sent me a key
I flashed it and the bootloader is now unlocked.
Are there any custom recoveries for the G8 so I can root it?

Yup, I unlocked mine as well. Hope someone develops custom recovery and rom.

You can root without twrp in fastboot. No custom ROMs because most people can't unlock bl...

Just tried with my LMG820QM. Does not work. I was hoping it would because the G8s isn't on the list either.

Thank you.
If anyone has the stock boot.img of the EAUW (I think? the one with W) variant, please upload it
I can't manage to unpack the KDZ and get to the img but I would really love to get root already

How did you get the KDZ? Can you send/upload it?
Edit: I downloaded a KDZ and got it extracted using https://github.com/steadfasterX/kdztools.
Will try to patch the boot image with magisk

You are an ANGEL!
Thank you so, so much, you made my evening!

I was able to unlock my G8s LM-G810EAW aswell
Let's hope there will be a custom recovery soon!

Anybody with unlocked bootloader already tried to flash a gsi?
According to the G8, v50 telegram group gsi are fully working on the g8 without any special adaptions.

Anyone know how to unlock the LM-G850QM version?
Can't seem to find a way yet.

How do you lock the bootloader?
I bought an unlocked LG G8 ThinQ US Cellular version here in HK. Works perfectly fine but I receive the bootloader is unlocked message when loading up. As a result (or at least I think it's linked), when I try and install any banking app for Citibank on my phone, it insists my phone is rooted and I cannot use it. I have checked with as many different apps as possible and they all insist that the phone is not rooted. I don't need/want the phone to be rooted and I want the banking app to work on my phone, so I am trying to lock the bootloader. Apparently, this is doable using ADB and loading in fastboot, unfortunately, I cannot load the phone into fastboot mode. Any ideas on how I can lock the bootloader as it's not clear how it was unlocked in the first place? The version I have is LMT600US.
Also, if anyone knows whether locking the bootloader will somehow render my phone unusable - that would also be helpful as I clearly don't want to do that? :good:

Well, you can first try to install magisk manager and try to enable magisk hide (the default settings for play services and for your banking apps). If it says you don't have magisk, make sure you try and backup your boot img first and then click direct install. You can also hide magisk manager in settings. If you still don't pass safety net, clear data for Google apps and look up the pxl4xlprops module

I have an LM-G810EAW with Android 10 (V20a-EEA-XX) and tried to unlock the bootloader. Got unlock.bin from LG and tried to flash it, but got the message:
Code:
> fastboot flash unlock ./unlock.bin
Sending 'unlock' (1 KB) OKAY [ 0.009s]
Writing 'unlock' FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Have I missed something?
EDIT:
YES, I missed to enable OEM Unlock!

LG G4 H815 SEA Stuck on LG Logo Screen

So i decided to unlock my h815sea bootloader, every thing went fine. I was able to flash twrp, flash android 6.0 with root and boot into system. I wanted to install xposed, i downloaded v78-sdk23-arm64.zip. I flash the zip and reboot into system. Now i cant go past lg boot screen. Could someone tell me how i can go into twrp? I am able to go into download mode, but LGUP application shows phone as unknown, can I use lg flashtool to flash android 6.0 kdz? OR am i able to flash android 5.1 kdz since i am able to go into download mode. I backed up everything using twrp and have all the files on my desktop.
nvm. I was able to go into recovery and flash genisys rom for xposed framework. For some reason when i try to flash xposed on a stock mm file, phone goes stuck on lg logo.

There's a guy (shiboby) that is looking for the unlock.bin files to examine to see if he can figure anything out for them. Doubtful anything will come of it, but you may want to send him yours to see if it would help

"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. ID- Bad key"
Is that a problem with that ? I have unlock bootloader ? That " bad key" information is cinfused me

It will always say that on stock rom with unlocked bootloader
It will say n/a if you are using a custom rom
Nothing to worry about - obviously don't try to flash any stock rom otas until you fully reflash stock firmware
You can always flash a modded boot splash screen to get rid of the your phone is unlocked warning
So if I notify "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. ID- Bad key"
I do not have anything to worry about ?

Nothing at all to worry about just flash a modded boot IMG but do not apply any ota update as it will soft brick your device but I would go all out custom as it makes the phone works as it should and not buggy software lenovo put in it
So right now i can root, twrp and custom ?

You need to flash twrp through fastboot the flash custom ROM of your choice then flash root
---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------
Flash twrp through fastboot
Download a custom ROM with gapps and super su
Put custom ROM on to internal memory or SD card with gapps and root package
Boot into twrp format data cache art system
Then install ROM with gapps and root package through twrp
Once flashed reboot into custom ROM
Am unable to unlock bootloader of my moto g5 plus its showing unlock data unavailable
Please help me
you are in the wrong section, here is moto g5
Motorola decided it would be a good idea to warn the user they have unlocked their bootloader ever time they power on their device lmao
Nothing to worry about though, it's just an indicator. I suggest flashing one of these as they also hide the n/a: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/themes/motorola-boot-logo-n-removed-t3663735
sorry for noob question, but i recently bought moto g5s plus from a person he didn't inform me about the oem status of the phone, and as i can see right now it shows a unlocked oem and while rebooting is shows a infinity war background wallpaper before the moto "M" logo + bad key plain text and everything is okay with it.
why so and is there anything to worry with it? help me if somebody aware about this customized thing.
thanks in advance.

I did flashing twrp after unlocking bootloader and the twrp was flashed successfully.
After repeating two times the twrp always gets deleted and it shows no command in recovery on my Moto g5s plus

Post in the correct forum - this is for g5 cedric not g5s plus
Anyway
I'm guessing you are stock rom and you haven't swiped to allow modifications and disabled dm-verity (by for example flashing magisk)
Also make sure you are flashing the recovery and not just booting it
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I did the same command fastboot flash recovery and I did allowed allow modification
But still it got deleted
By the way I'm on stock ROM

Like I said in previous post - if you're using a stock rom you also need to disable dm-verity and then restart your phone normally

Cannot boot into bootloader/fastboot

Hello guys I have H815 and I can't proceed with unlocking bootloader cause my phone cannot boot into bootloader/fastboot mode. I'm not newbie, but with this phone everything goes ****ing different than in instruction.
I the instruction there is adb reboot bootloader. Of course my phone is seen in adb mode but after this command it just reboot to system. I tried also key combinations with no luck...
What to do?
My system is android 6

Hi,
I'm the same...
looking for solution I found this on Youtube:
Pratically, you have to press vol up while connect USB on PC....
I haven't the G4 with my today and so I cannot test if this is a valid mode...
If you do this, let me know if you can enter in fastboot mode

I did that and yeah it entered this mode but it's not valid bootloader/fastboot mode. It's some service mode to update firmware. Anyway it's not visible in pc as a normal fastboot and I cannot proceed further with unlocking bootloader...
Edit: it's download mode... So as I said it's not fastboot mode.
Anyone can help?
Seriously nobody? I thought this phone has good community and support...
I'm facing the exact same problem with my H810 on 6.0. Sick of not being able to root atleast.
Seriously hasn't anyone on earth found a way to boot this **** in fastboot? I mean there are a number of tutorials but everything goes different as F*** with this thing. Hope someone will update with good news. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Thanks yeah I checked but that's for ARB<=2 devices. I forgot to mention earlier this godforsaken thing is ARB3.
I have an H811 (T-Mo) running firmware H81120p, ARB3. Doesn't seem to be much that can be done with it as far as rooting. It also has no stock recovery, only boots to system.
you did follow this official guide right? it unlocked mine after a few angry moments
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
use minimal ADB https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Only way to boot twrp later is to use fastboot with ADB, recovery with buttons doesn't work.
if the device wont boot a rom use adb to get back in recovery.
if you use bank apps, install magisk before installing rom, do not get SU

Only problem is that the info linked to above applies to ONE G4 variant only - the H815 international model. The rest of us are SOL. The bootloader on US carrier G4 - AT&T, T-Mo, VzW, etc (most later firmware revisions for G3 as well) models has been nailed down. The only exception is a G4 with ARB <= 2 can be hacked with UsU in order to root it and install a custom recovery.

Tmo is very easy
Go to dev options and enable adb
Then run "adb reboot bootloader"
Once there, run "fastboot oem unlock" and voila, you have an officially unlocked bootloader with no restrictions related to UsU
Please be aware the above will factory reset your device

Do you know anyone who has done it with H81120o or later? I've seen posts for two yrs about doing it that way, but I don't remember reading about it being done on 20o or later.

Why v20o
Remember, this has nothing to do with UsU and therefore ARB etc doesn't matter
Edit: ps there are loads of H811 users in my Lineage thread and the other ROMs too

Got it. Guess that it makes sense. ARB prevents rolling back to earlier release than 20o, I'm ok. Will try the BL unlock today then.

I actually managed to get my LG V20 F800L into same situation after messing up my rooting process.
First i was stuck at logo and factory reset did nothing. Bootloader was working then.
Then i downloaded new firmware through "Download Mode", and after that i lost access to bootloader.
I know the phone model is different, but process seems to be very similar for all LG devices.
Trying to troubleshoot that atm, if i'll have results i'll post them here.
P.S. I know original poster long left (probably after throwing phone into a grinder), but maybe for someone with same problem as us in the future the info will be useful.

Ok, now i have to reply to my own post, since i believe i understand now something important:
LG phones usually dont have bootloader open to access. Until you use some exploits to do so.
I did not know that at the time of writing that reply.

You can always update to newer firmware AFTER bootloader unlock.

that is new unlock bin http://www.mediafire.com/file/xnwcck1wr5w4qz2/new_unlock.bin/file
Thank you for supported
Sorry for my English
EDIT: ignore these next few pages of posts. We were all trying to figure this all out. It was crazy stuff, and initially @TxanMoe did brick his phone. But he recovered, and we figured out what worked and what didn't.
Skip to post #56 for the first success story replicating this method. After that, it was off to the races!
Everything after post #56 on is relevant, while everything between here and there is not really worth reading, as there was lots of false speculation proved wrong.
We figured out LG Oreo has a great bootloader unlock flaw that can be exploited so we can install TWRP and root. Also since the initial post @TxanMoe perfected the "fake" bootloader unlock.bin code. (Originally he used a Huawai M8 unlock code -- from an LG G4 thread. Crazy stuff.)
Post #193 has the full instructions, as does the op above.

Wait. You flashed an Huawei M8 unlock.bin code onto an AT&T LG V30 H931 and UNLOCKED the bootloader? After of course crossflashing H930 Oreo KDZ and basically bricking your phone.
The only reason I halfway believe this is because the guy with the rooted H932 in China is running Galaxy 8 TWRP with parts of H930 flashed over the phone.
And because you were one of the first to crossflash your phone in this forum. So, you know what you are doing.
___________
So, how does your phone identify now in About Phone? H930 or H931? Or Canadian H933 (which you had cross flashed to earlier.)
In LGUP, in download mode, how does it identify? Even after I flashed US998 over LS998 (Frankenstein thread), in download mode with LGUP, the phone still showed as LS-998.
I upload screen record video wait a few minutes
That is check my imei no

The Qualcomm driver part interests us. Others have talked about possibly using that vs the LG drivers.
The M8 unlock.bin file being used is crazy.
Yes, I linked to your earlier post where you cross flashed your H931 to a Canadian H933. You were very expert at doing it.
Here it is again, for those who missed it.

I wonder if I can try this method, but I am already on Oreo h930. Would I have to flash the Oreo h930 or h933 over my h931? Then flash m8 unlock bin?
H930 and m8 unlock.bin
After you get this error massage
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

OKAY [ 0.003s]
writing 'unlock'...
FAILED (remote: Error!! Wrong unlock key size)
finished. total time: 0.006s
But device is unlock
I see you tried fastboot oem unlock as your last command before you were able to successfully flash recovery.

Thanks, I'll prepare to try this out. I'll get the files ready and try to get to it tomorrow. I tried downloading the unlock bin from your post but it says the user removed the file.

Thanks! Downloading now. I have the unlock.bin, lgup+30ll, & downloading the h93020d_00_open_EU_op_0326.kdz. I believe that is the right kdz?

Okay, let write out the steps so I am clear.
1. Use lgup and update to h930.kdz and brick
2. Boot into fastboot and flash unlock.bin
3. Reboot?

Would I select upgrade or partition dl?
wow... That really sounds crazy and weird, and tbh like it wouldnt work at all ?
But if this seriously works...
More devices being bootloader unlocked is nice
Does everything work now though? Like the modem, your imei and so on?

LG V30+ download missing, root gone, and bootloader locked

I would like to thank everyone for there support for this most awesome but difficult phone. I have an unlocked US LG V30+ phone which an error in cross flashing accidently caused my phone to loose everything I needed to use LGUP. Does anyone know of an exe rom to flash on this phone to regain download option or a full restore to start fresh to do the rooting the right way? I know some mobile devices have exe for full restore but haven't found one for this phone yet.
Thanks again and I hope for a possible positive answer.

Your bootloader is NOT relocked unless you flashed fastboot command to re-lock it.
Your bootloader is still unlocked.
