Widevine L1 - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Does V30 always have Widevine L1 even if it's rooted with a custom recovery, unlocked bootloader and custom ROM/kernel installed? I know some newer devices are automatically L3 once you unlock them.

I have root, unlocked bootloader and TWRP and it still has Widevine L1.

Possible if you have h850 with unlocked bootloader, if not you have no chance to get root.
how can i see it, bootloader locked or not. i want to root my lg g5. kingroot doesnt work
i have android 6.1

Probably a stupid question... but.

I bought a LG V30+ (V300) Korean version and I was wondering if it would be possible to flash an international stock rom on it.
Is this possible?
Anybody experience doing so?
Thank you.

There is no chance to fladh anotoher Rom in ours Lg V300k yet. First will be needed to unlock our bootloader (not achieved yet), then TWRP and finally to have suitable ROM's for ours devices.
Step be step, lets be patient

On LG V20 they flashed another ROM (KDZ) using a custom made LGUP.exe file -- BEFORE the bootloader was unlocked. They did it in order to unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP, then flashed back the orginal ROM while keeping TWRP.

However that method would only help you (on South Korean variant) if you then had a way to unlock the bootloader AFTER you flashed it.
This "flashing another KDZ variant"method would possibly work on the T-mobile H932 which already has easily unlocked bootloader, but just has most of the ADB flash commands removed. It would temporarily turn the H932 into an LG US998U once that KDZ is available. Install TWRP, flash back to original H932 firmware, while not overwriting the new TWRP recovery.
But doing that on South Korea model won't let you unlock bootloader because your IMEI is ineligible on the LG Developer website, and the bootloader unlock exploit the V20 devs used has been patched.

Shouldn't that be possible on this? Or was there a patched exploit after that? Sounds similar to the G4 if I remember correctly.

The bootloader unlock exploit they used on the V20 has been patched, but the T-mobile H932 V30 doesn't need a bootloader unlock exploit -- bootloader is easily unlocked. What it needs is a US998U KDZ and a custom made LGUP.exe to allow installing KDZ from another variant. That custom LGUP.exe is what does the magic, but a dev needs to make one that works on the LG V30. Go follow the links I posted.

Is it still possible to unlock the bootloader?

Because Huawei shut down the unlocking service, will there be another way to unlock the bootloader?
I have been looking to buy a new phone but I need it to be able to support lineage. Sadly, Nokia 8 seems long off bootloader unlocking.

Do note that although there are ways to get your bootloader unlocked unofficialy, custom ROMs are still a long way from stable. There are no active developments for the P20 lite itself and the Treble ROMs do not support notch yet and are not stable enough to be daily drivers.

Bootloader unlock after EMUI 9 update

Hello!
I recently bought the 8" M5 without realising the hoops I'd have to jump through to unlock the bootloader.
After getting lucky and being able to downgrade to FW163 I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and I've been running a treble rom. Yesterday I wanted to try out an OpenKirin rom, so I flashed the stock EMUI 8 firmware in order to then flash the OpenKirin rom.
After flashing stock I realised my bootloader was relocked - not a big issue as I still had the unlock code and I was still on FW163.
My question is - if I upgrade to EMUI 9 ota will this relock my bootloader the same as manually flashing 163 did, and if so, will I still be able to unlock on higher FW versions since I already have the unlock code? As far as I'm aware the issue we were faced with was actually obtaining the unlock code after official support ended, so in theory now that I have the code I should be able to unlock on any firmware, right?
Thanks!

Theoritically said, yes, because the xloader have those kind of hexes that stay the same even after updating the firmware and the xloader and as additional info, I'm now on Omnirom for EMUI 9 vendor from Openkirin team and I can download the EMUI from eRecovery without getting my bootloader locked

Unlock bootloader LG V10 after 2021

Hi, I just bought a LG V10 yesterday, in order to install TWRP and custom kernel, I have to unlock the bootloader. But LG have locked their LG bootloader unlock tool by the end of 2021. Is there any other ways to unlock V10 bootloader? I would be very cheerful if someone can send me some guide.
can't be done apparently. Good job i have my 3 v20 phones exclusively for hifi audio ... but that means Lineage OS is out too?
