Hi.I bought the G7 from the Verizon network. Unfortunately, despite having the code, I can't unlock the phone.Is it possible to change the firmware to European or other but unlocked?

I have a US Cellular LG US990 G3 that is ineligible for activation on US Cellular. Can this specific model be flashed or unlocked for use on a different carrier? Thanks!
Bump for an answer...need to know as well
Hello. I you can see I'm new to the forums and I'm also new to my LG G4, which happens to be the Taiwanese variant of the H815. I love the phone so far, but I'm a bit bummed that the bootloader can't be unlocked on this model. So I have two questions about this.
If I were to flash the EU Open VDZ, could I unlock my bootloader then?
A lot of the settings are geared towards Chinese/Taiwanese markets. Is there a US H815 stock firmware, or should I use a European version? And what number is the US H815 firmware version so I can go ahead and download it.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. A U.S. firmware should fix most things for me, correct?
Each region/variant has different firmware numbers.
IE 10c TWN/SEA is the "same version" as 10E of Open EUR which is higher than which is the same as 10F of the 815T which is a higher version than 10G of some non open EUR phones...
You can install the Open EUR KDZ on the TWN version, but it will not enable to unlock your boot loader, the LG unlocked website checks IMEI and unique hardware ID to determine eligibility. You may be able to flash the US H815 but I'm not sure.

Thanks. I'm guessing there's really no point of flashing a new ROM then. Do you know the USA H815 firmware number?
I know the Euro variant of the G7 supports unlocking, but the G7+ does not. Does LG have plans to allow bootloader unlocking for the G7+?

I have the same problem and i did some research and to my best knowledge (but havent tried yet) all you need to do is download LGUP 1.15 or higher and then you can use that to flash a different firmware on you LG. Let me look for the post again and i will post that link on here. Im currently having problems getting my G710VM to show up on ADB devices or i would of already tried that.

No sim unlock available for G710VM. Use my thread to unlock your G710VM bootloader by crossflashing to a ULM kdz.

If you just want to crossflash to another kdz to see if your data and sim works use this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/cross-flash-oreo-pie-firmwares-lg-g7-g7-t3915303
