So the device is released.
And do u think the trend of bootloader unlock will follow as for any flagship lg phone or maybe different.
Any bootloader ,future development and security ..
Lg g3 - no bl unlock / only bump hack
Lg g flex 2 - no bl unlock on any variant
Lg g4 - only european variant of global model
Lg v10 - only european variant
Lg g5 - only european variant
Lg v20 - with france model as exception / dirtysanta exploit on all single sim variant
Lg g6 - ...
And oh yea ! T-mobile provides bootloader option support.
T-Mobile has had all their LG's unlockable.

Only way I'd get the LG G6, is if the T-Mobile version bootloader is unlocked, and it gets CM14.1. What are the chances of that ?

i feel i hope they still find an exploit to unlock the at&t model.
Hi everybody,
for a newcomer here: I understand there is not and will not be a chance of unlocking the bootloader and then rooting the G6 unless LG officially makes the device unlockable? Am I really very far from the actual
What are the chances of that?
I read somewhere (don't know where at this point after going over a bunch of threads) that most G5 models have never been unlocked...
Thanks!

No one is working on an unofficial way to unlock the bootloader or bypass the locked one, AFAIK, so yes, we have to wait LG to add the G6 to the official bootloader unlock program, mind that usually only the european international model will support this method.
On G5 there are three models with a bit of modding: European H850 (Official bootloader unlock), T-Mobile H830 (Tot Exploit) and US Unlocked RS988 (Official Bootloader Unlock), also the G5 SE has is present in that program but there is no TWRP ATM.
If you have an European H870 then just wait for LG, if not and if you need root then there is no ETA and no information about a possibility to obtain root.

Alright!
Thanks a lot for the reply. Seems I was understanding more or less ok the situation, although as for now I lack most of the technical knowledge.
I own a H870 so well, looks like we just need to hope and wait
Seeing how stuff is with LG's not unlocking its devices and all I was actually pondering wether to return it or not... Got 3 days left for full refund. Love the phone but not ever rooting is a bit of a sad perspective...
I'll keep an eye on things.

What's the reasoning behind this?
Is it akin to LG's absurd decisions regarding which region gets what hardware / features?
This doesn't sit well with me, I'm used to an OEM fully supporting open development... I've had a Sony Xperia Z2 for the past 3 years and both the phone and the XDA community have been awesome.

Just look to the G5 and G4, it's all based on that.
-edit-
My fault, didn't understand well xD
Well LG is not new to this strange and stupid decision, like not selling the V20 in Europe ecc...
Wow man, quickest quote / reply I've ever had lol.
Yep, I've been reading through the V20 forum as well as here, more than 6 months after release and there's still very little development on the V20.
I think coming from Sony to LG is gonna be an eye-opener for me.

Indeed they do. But, now they strip out all the fastboot commands, which is what makes twrp & root so difficult. Same on the g5.
I personally, would like to think based on LG's previous Bootloader Unlocking... That it will hopefully only be a matter of time for the G6 to be officially Unlocked.
It is something that I personally can wait for..
But it does ask the question?... Who or what/how are the bootloader decisions made @ LG as to what handsets are given the full LG Bootloader unlocking?
I hope so, but the g5 and v20, which are close to the same in this respect, haven't been cracked since a december pacth that blocked "recowvery". There are ways to keep root from previous versions, but we have no previous version.
Edit.. EU/International variant I was talking about.
I'm looking to buy a new device and I found a h820 for cheap which is a at&t lg g5. It's unlocked so I plan on using on metro pcs. My question is will the h830 roms work on this device? Please advise and thanks for any feedback.

No. The h820 version can't unlock the bootloader, therefore no root, TWRP or custom ROMs for it at all. Only h830, h850, rs988 and h840 se can unlock bootloader. Only h830 and h850 have custom ROMs currently.
hello,
I received today my new lg v30 + H930DS and I would like to know how to unlock the bootloader install TWRP ... because I find solutions for the H930G version but nothing for the H930DS
Sorry, it's not on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list.
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
Either needs to be on the official LG unlock list or someone needs to find a bootloader unlock exploit.

not yet mate.. we're on the same boat here :laugh:
just wait patiently and hope for the best :fingers-crossed:
it is most likely never possible to unlock the bootloader of H930DS ? and it will never be on the LG list as suitable for unlocking the bootloader.
Why will LG do so? for a market is possible , and for others not?

Yes. There are variants that will never be possible. At least that has happened with the G6.
I did not buy the DualSim just for not having root... and I use 2 numbers :'(
Fellow Aussie here,
Same here peeps. Nothing yet. Sent an email off to LG in Australia, as well as LG Devs asking why it's not on the list. HOPEFULLY I'll get a response soon.
does anyone know if there's any way to unlock bootloader with this model was thinking about purchasing this and wanted to see if there was a way to do so and possibly get TWRP too.

That's the Sprint phone. Unless you're a Sprint customer, best to stay away from it. And even if you're a Sprint customer, you're never going to unlock the bootloader.
No carrier branded North America LG V30 variants have bootloader unlock, TWRP and root.
Only three models have that, the ones authorized by LG.

H930G is V30+. Single SIM.
Sold in Italy (even available for official LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list) and Israel (not eligible for the LG official bootloader unlock).
This new exploit does not need LG's permission, of course.

Doesn't matter. It's already on US998. If Nougat, update to Oreo, bootloader unlock and root.
If already on Oreo US998, then just bootloader unlock and root.
