[Q] will LG G4 Comes with a option of unlocking bootloader - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I should be getting LG G4 given that the specs they are using, my question is LG like Samsung which release varies same model like they did with S4, S5, also does LG G4 approve of unlocking bootloader etc?

Too early to know. The tmobile variant will likely be unlocked like the T-Mobile G3. LG could put an updated version of Loki on the G4.

Many H815 owners (Europe) have already unlocked their bootloader.
Visit LG.com , register as a developer and follow the unlocking process outlined by LG.
Back in May when I unlocked mine there was only the H815 on the list.
LG are rolling out the service to other G4 devices.
Monitor the list to see if the code for your device is available.
LG repeatedly warn you of serious issues that unlocking a bootloader may cause but will in the end email you your unlocking code.

Doubt about unlocking the bootloader of H815P

Hi, i have been searching over this page, and some others pages, but havent find anything about this model, "h815p", just some threads around july of 2015 and in that time it was imposible to unlock the bootloader,, but it has been 6 months and i have no ideas if is it possible now or not..., any suggestions?
Email from lg directly yesterday they have no intention of unlocking any other g4s other than europe model ok they say ls991 sorry but im sure that means all
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in LG mobile devices.
Currently, you can only unlock bootloader for LG G4 for the European market with model number H815.
And we have no plan to support bootloader unlocking for LS991.
If there are any changes to the supported devices, we will let you know via our website.
Best regards,

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

Rogers Bootloader unlock/model number.

Hello.
I was thinking of getting an LG G4 as an upgrade from my shattered Huawei y6, but I was wondering how easy it would be to unlock the bootloader on the Rogers (Canadian) variant. I can't find anything on this. Also what is the model number for that phone?
Thanks for your time!

You can't unlock officially the Rogers model. The only ones are h811 which is T-Mobile US and h815 international(!) version.
There is a way to unlock unofficially with limitations which can be found in my signature
Besides this you should know that depending on the manufacturing date you will suffer from a hardware issue. Just search for bootloop g4..
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
Rogers phones are now 6 or 7 #?series I wouldn't would about bootloop
Although I avoided Rogers got an American phone because of bootloader

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.

Site is up now: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h812-firmwares/
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 ...

LG G4 Bootloader Unlock tool/Trich(TEST/Experiment)

I know you'll be wondering weather this tool can unlock the G4 bootloader(even the H818 variant) . Well the answer is "YES", It's a test so I'll need some devices on which i can test on it.
If you have an useless device(LG G4),Broken then only share with me. I don't want your fine device to be bricked. If you have an International model(H815) then only send me or if you have H818 variant (only Europe) then only share with me this. Other models can be unlocked check on the development section of LG G4 this thread is specifically focused on LG G4 H818 variant
i can help you brother, check dm.
