I'm about to trade for a LG G2. I'm wonering if the bootloader is locked, or if there is currently a root procedure, and can a custom recovery be put onto the G2 to flash custom roms?
You are at wrong session. But yes g2 has locked bootloader and exists root procedure.

oops. just noticed that, sorry. thanks for info. g pro has unlocked bootloader right? or atleast an option to put on custom recovery and flash custom roms?
No problem you are welcome no gpro doesn't have unlocked bootloader u can bypassed with Loki.
so it is the same things or bootloader unlock = yes means your BL is unlocked.
and bootloader unlock allowed = yes mean you can unlock your bootloader.
im confused and i tried to unlock my bootloader, all data get wiped but i don't know whether its unlocked or not?
in service menu bootloader status show bootloader unlock = yes.
i also checked on my friends xperia ray, on his mobile it showing bootloader unlock allowed = yes.
It's pretty literal, except there's a bit of wrong grammar...
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes - This means the bootloader is not unlocked but you are allowed to unlock the bootloader.
Bootloader unlock: Yes - This means the bootloader is unlocked.
Bootloader unlock allowed: No - This means the bootloader is not unlocked and you cannot unlock the bootloader.

and can i install CM11 with you cwm recovery? - No! For CM flash the boot.img from the CM Zip.(boot.img is the CM kernel + CWM recovery)
then how can i extract boot image- Download boot image,start Flashtool,click on the flashlight and select Fastbootmod.Shutdown your phone,press and hold Vol+ key and connect usb cable to your phone(led light will turn blue light).Now from flashtool chose "Select kernel to flash" and flash boot.img fille who you want.
three is a YouTube video of the whole process in the original thread

I'm seeing comments all over the web that you don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash a recovery. Is that true and can anyone confirm this. I'd like to just flash a recovery on my device and make a stock backup all without unlocking the bootloader.
Do i need to unlocking bootloader if i want to flash stock rom using official miflash?
no you don't
Will there really be no unlocking bootloader instructions for the U20, will there be no recovery? ))
