Hi people!! I have a BIG PROBLEM, because i live in Argentina, and my L9 it´s called P778g, and have the same specs than the P768, BUT the ROMs of the last don´t work on P778g for nobody in my country (I´m from an hispano parlant forum) and also don´t works the ROMs of P760/P765.
Someone can help my to fix this very big problem? The mobile have v10a ICS, and v20a from the operators of Movistar and Claro.
Is there no way to unlock alternatively, or last, unlocked via fastboot as XPERIA´s phones?

You must unlock bootloader before flash any custom rom. Please visit this thread to unlock bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313794

I tyied the steps, but i cant flash v20b Open Europe, because the KDZ Updater says "problem with usb connect of the phone" when i´m flashing this. But i think is because is for P760 phones, and my phone is p778g. Also, the roms of p768 didn´t work on my cellphone, only p778g ROMs

I think you can flash P760 rom on ypu phone. As I know only P760 - Europe Open - V20B or V20C can unlock bootloader. I you want to unlock your phone bootloader your must flash it. Their're some people that follow that thread but cannot unlock bootloader. I don't know why. For me it's work at first attempt.
For your problem, please try
- Turn on your phone, connect usb cable, select LG software mode
- In offline flash program select "DIAG" in Phonemode instead of "Emergency" then follow normal offline flash step.
- Your phone should reboot to S/W mode automatically.
After reboot their may be some software error message, you can ignore it. Some thread said that you should wait for about 30 minutes and have your sim and wifi on may make unlock bootloader success. Please give it a try.

I try this too, but without glory
But, i try to put a CWM Backup of the V20B Europe Open, and works on my phone!!!!
At first time i try to unlock the bootloader without succes, but i try a second time However, in my first try on v20B, my computer detect the OMP44...blabla,
Edit: 2 try fails too
@artit i have question, It is possible to find a better method of unlocking as unlocking via fastboot like XPERIA phones?
I was talking with a colleague Argentine was one of the first to buy the P778g just went to the Argentine market, and apparently could safely install the "v20B Open Europe" like any other ROM it existed, but after you break the screen and it changes to a other "identical" phone, the same thing has happened to his.
There may be a possibility that the method is removed to unlock the bootloader and install any ROM in our P778g?

There is no new unlock bootloader for now. I notice that a lot of people have problem unlock their L9 bootloader. May be there is new way to unlock it in near future. Just wait to see it happen, some dev is working on it.

LG L70 "Phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked". Is there any fix?
Hello,
I got an LG L70 MS323 from the US and I live in Europe. I ordered an unlocking code, but the unlocking menu shows "Phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked".
Is there any way to fix this? I had the phone for the last couple of months and no one ever tried to unlock it...

What carrier, what android version, any root, any ROM, any kernel? What have you done to your device?

LG L70 MS323 is MetroPCS' LG L70 variant. Android version si 4.4.2 stock rom, no root. I haven't done anything, that's why I'm asking for a solution. Ultimately, I'll get it to a local GSM shop in my city and someone will, luckily, unlock it for 20 bucks. But I thought there might be a way to reset that counter, obviously blocked by MetroPCS.
Unfortunatly, you have to spend that extra buck . Some carriers use software to not allow any sim card except theirs, that can, obviously be tampered with , but not this .
A friend of mine got this phone recently, it's the "Special Edition" H840, but it's European.
I was checking the Developer Options and noticed that i was able to enable OEM Unlock.
My questions are:
Should I try to unlock the bootloader via fastboot?
Should I try another fastboot command first (or after) to see if they've been blocked like on the H830?
Would me confirming any of this help you guys out in any way?
Thanks in advance, I'd love to see development get started on the H840 if it's possible to unlock its bootloader.

The OEM unlock option is there on all G5's, it was even there on my ATT V10 that has yet to be unlocked. I suppose you could try to run the fastboot commands, but I doubt you'll actually get anywhere with it.
As Eric said, they're present in every G5 version. Don't waste your time, you can't unlock it without the IMEI associated .bin file.
Hi there,
since LG ended its bootloader unlocking Service on December 31 - 2021, is there a chance that there will be an unofficial unlocking method in the near future?
Just got a LG G5 h850 which is still looked :-(
Thanks
[UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock ANY* LG G4 device with UsU
About UsU = Unofficial secureboot-off/steadfasterX Unlock *works with any G4 model. Even though the h818 can be unlocked as well the touch display does not work anymore (should be possible to resolve but.. read on). so I decided to remove it...
forum.xda-developers.com
Install /e/OS on a LG G4 (AR,PX,L,P,T) - “h815_usu”
@dave-x, any news? Is this working for h850?
NO it did not work!!!
so I tried
Unlocking the bootloader
Download and Boot FWUL/mAid
Always download the latest iso file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Start SALT (folder LG)
Select backup and create a full backup of your device
Check ARB value (must be 0, 1 or 2 but not higher then 2)
Open the Advanced menu
Select Unlock G4 (UsU)
Follow the instructions
but since i have a G5 850
when i select Unlock G4 (UsU)
I get an ERROR message saying: "Your Download mode version is not supported ! Downgrade to LP or MM !
So I´m not sure what that means..
Hi there. I am a user of LG G5 h860. The loader is locked. Please tell, are there any ways to unlock loaders in 2022? Are there alternative ways to download the firmware?
Greetings from Ukraine!
I also have H850 ZAF and would love to run lineageos
It does not look like you will be successful. Unlocking bootloader inofficially is not really easy, as it requires hacking the public key infrastructure used to protect the bootloader.
Check out there: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-for-offline-bootloader-unlock.3603855/page-5
All emails towards LG will be rejected explaining that they do not offer the unlock service anymore. Unbelievably dissapointing, but true. Also I bought the h850, but now I have no use anymore for it. Wasted money.
Just came across this thread, so I just bought a replacemnt h850 from ebay. Very disapointed by LG. :-(
Is there a way to unlock the bootloader today, a friend of mine gave me his phone to unlock it but it isn't so easy I realized. Thanks for all help.
I would move on. I did, even though I've recently bought H850 for family member. Nobody is working on hacking old, cheap, obsolete phones and there is 0% chance LG is changing their minds.
this is very bad, I ordered the phone from eBay from the EU 850 (180eur) version from the seller with a 1 year warranty, new, unopened packaging. In our country there is a service that does unlocking, unlock bootloader, upgrade to LineageOS. I don't know if they will do it for LG G5 if there is a big problem with the bootloader.
I'll have to stay with Android 8 if I get the update. The phone will have if I understand the gsm arena site Android 6 from factory.
Maybe someone smarter than me, this Black Hat Briefings presentation will help find a way to unlock our phones?
I am a noob so I understand a maximum half of it, but maybe it will help someone find a solution.

This looks plausible?
Could just be clickbate but someone went to a lot of trouble to make it if so

it meant downgrade to MarshMallow, which the g5 does have, so this could work

I tried to downgrade my H850 to MM. But it didn't work. Same error message "Your Download mode version is not supported ! Downgrade to LP or MM !".
I think it only works for G4.

This appears to be a tool for the G4, not the G5. Unless I'm missing something about them adding G5 functionality, my guess would be that's why it doesn't work.

I recently bought an LG V60 from one of the ebay sellers which has the Dual Screen kit included. All seemed fine almost like new but the back panel has a small gap on the left side corner with a very small scuff on the AL frame near it. I want to send it to LGE for repair / diagnostic service want them to check about the battery status and overall condition. They are gonna charge $30 and Shipping is on me. They will re-flash the phone with latest Firmware as I was told by a rep in the live chat. I like this phone as It has a lot of tech which is useful like Dual Screen, 3.5mm jack, SD slot, 64Mp, Pen support, Bootloader Unlock, solid community knowledge and more.
So my questions are -
Once they Reflash the phone to latest OS, it is running Android 10 out of box (I did not even check the OS but it should be that and I did not unlock Bootloader yet) so it will be updated to Android 13. After doing that can I still unlock the bootloader and install all the nice things like Magisk + Rootchecker disabler + Downgrade the OS to 10 or 11 using LGUP and TMo official firmware ? I presume LG does not deploy ARB (Anti Rollback) from what I read in the past month but I want to check with community who is knowledgeable enough with this device.
Will that also re-lock the Carrier ? I have TMo sim only anyways but just curious if this will lock the SIM too.
Please share your experience with LGE or anything related to the subject.
Thank you very much for your time.

I would just download the latest firmware from the link below,and do a factory refurbish with LGUP.Just make sure the bootloader is relocked is the key.Sim unlock wil remain in place,as long as they send you the same device back with the same IMEI number.I assume when you get it back,it will have A13 and you may have to downgrade it to re-root etc.You're good,just do those main things!

Thank you very much for your reply.
Hm, so if I understand clearly. Basically I may need to downgrade the firmware to A10 and then re-root once I get back. And the SIM unlock might not be effected. That's good to hear.
As for the initial aspect you mentioned which I bolded, what do you mean by that ? Did you meant I should get the latest firmware and and just do a refurbish option from LGUP, may I please know what would that achieve because even if I flash / unlock bootloader the LG Service center will restore it to the factory settings and then perform a diagnostic, thus wiping everything on the phone perhaps they will even lock the bootloader.

I mean don't send it to LG with an unlocked bootloader.They can refuse to repair it,and consider it tampering.Plus,they can still charge you a diagnostics fee as well.LG stop supporting bootloader unlocking past the v40 series for developer purposes is my point.For the firmware,it won't matter what build you refurbish it with.Once you refurb it the root is gone anyway.Just relock it,and pick the kdz of your choice and refurbish.Box it and ship it!You'll be good!

Understood now.
Just a small clarification from my side. The phone is not yet bootloader unlocked (it's locked right now), it's just running Android 10 stock firmware. Just SIM unlocked by the ebay seller. I did not even use the phone yet.
And once they get the device they will re-flash it to Android 13 build and then do the diagnostics. I think I should be good ? As in no need to just Refurbish because it's already running bone stock A10.
Once I get it back I will downgrade to A10 and unlock bootloader ?
Thank you again for your insight.

You can go to A10,A11 or A12 once you get it back.That will be your choice from there.You can still root and unlock the bootloader with the current files that's been posted in the forums.It's stock,just factory clear it and send it on it's way.You're good!
Got it, thanks a lot.
I will send this phone to them directly as-is with the A10 and hope they can fix the issues with it.
