Hey guys,
when trying to unlock the bootloader the official way, I get the error message
"Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader."
LG support has not responded yet, but the message indicates what their answer will be.
Is there any way to get the bootloader unlocked other than having LG send the unlock code?
I found several threads all over the internet with people describing the same problem, but no solution was posted. Since all those threads are from mid-2015, I was wondering if anyone found a solution by now.
If you find a solution , please let me know .

( "Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader." )
its clear enough to me... you cant.
and theres no other way.. yet... maybe one day it will.. unofficially.
I asked this a month ago with no luck.
There hasn't been any real progress on having an unofficial bootloader unlock since august/september of 2015.....
It's almost a year since anyone has really talked about it. I don't think it's ever gonna happen :/

Of course I meant an unofficial way when I wrote "other than having LG send the unlock code". Anyone working on that?

I asked the LG developer support. All they replied so far was that by company policy, they do not allow models other than "European market" to be unlocked at the moment.
I answered that I am not satisfied with this "policy" and that I'd like a reason for them to block customers from their freedom of choice what to do with their devices. No answer yet - will post here when I get one.

More people need to ask their developer support program to make an official unlock for the bootloder...this is not a one man job we all need to participate in this all those having TAIWAN H815 models..
Is there any way to at least gain root access on these phones? Mine is running software version "V20c-TWN-XX", which is Android 6.0 with security patch level 2016-01-01.

LP yes. but i seen 2 different post claiming root on MM with locked bootloader.
It's easiest to just downgrade to Lollipop via LGUP. Though it still took me a while to find the right pre-rooted image to flash on my phone.
I just completed the process of using LGUP to rollback to Lollipop v10c, and then rooted it. Surprisingly I was even able to get Xposed framework installed with the bootloader locked. I guess the only thing I'm really missing is TWRP, but I can live without it.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

not so sure ... but LG has removed the team the worked on past phones and eithe has a new team or will be not making any more phones. .... g5 sales arent too good...
I've the H815 V20d-TWN-XX 6.0 MM with sec. patch level 2016-06-01, and as I've read, no way to unlock bootloader for this model, so frustrating.
I was hoping at least to find a way to have this particular G4 version rooted with the bootloader locked, does anyone know how can this be done?
Been looking for a solution but haven't found anything so far, I'd just flash a previous version but some people wrote in other threads that this 20d has noticeable battery improvements...
So any help with, as for now, the best way to go to get root access in this device, is very much appreciated. I've been trying to do this for weeks
Thanks!
I am assuming with the boot loader locked, there is no way to try out any of the custom ROMs here ....what a shame as I wanted to give lineage a go

There may be an unofficial way.
If you are interested, head over to [BL UNLOCK][LS991|H81x|VS986|any nonFused] *Unlock your bootloader PoC* (WIP!!) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...proof-t3648288
Read the OP carefully and be fully aware of the risks and limitations. steadfasterX is working hard to overcome the locked bootloader situation and has had some success to-date using his own version of Lineage with testers.
Simple question: how do i root lg g4 h815-l(israel) with the version v20d. Any way will be blessed.

Yep, the bootloader unlock from LG is not available for every version of H815... Search the forum about root and bootloader unlock, probably someone with a non-EU version can help you.

You don't have any solution with MM firmware. But if you downgrade to LP, you can get root with the inject method.
You can downgrade with the app LGUP for MS Windows (search more information in this SubForum).
And you can get root with:
Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks

You made me smile!
But I think you should reconsider rooting your phone.
Is the bootloader already unlocked on the Mate 20x?

Unfortunately no. And Huawei stopped giving free unlock codes. So the only option is to buy this code from funkyhuawei https://funkyhuawei.club/buycodes
But nobody have tried it here.
you can downgrade to android 9 or 8? regards

this is my last nokia, horrible service.
I've heard elsewhere that you can take you Nokia to a service center and ask them to downgrade it for you.
Hello guys sorry if it is not on right place, I’m new here.
So I have S9 960F, and i upgrade this to latest firmware on sam mobile, now it is on Android 10 BL 15 “G960FXXSFFUB3” problem is on android 10 can’t play fine few app that I use a lot, so have any way to downgrade my android version on This Bl and firmware above?
Bump
If the bootloader gets patched to not make the version check guess its possible but it is possible the phone to get bricked as well.
