Hi!! Kinda new here. Can anyone help me or guide me on how to unlock my LG phone? It's locked on T-Mobile network, it was bought in the US and I'm from the Philippines, so it won't accept our local SIM. Can anyone please help me? I also have Galaxy Light it was also locked by MetroPCS TMo still. But I think I saw a post here somewhere.

so i dont know your device model. But i would suggest you to install custom recovery like TWRP if you are rooted and also installing new OS is a good idea lineage has relased updates to latest OS 7 nougat so look for it. But be carefull always look for software compatibile with your device unless you want to brick it !!!
and for unlocking to other operators try Hidden menu --- http://mobilespecs.net/phone/codes/LG/LG_G3_BEAT_D722K.html
Hi to all,I'd like to buy a mobile LG's G5 and I found it with code F700.But I also see that here at Greece it is selling code H850.So I'd like to ask if anyone knows about the differences between the 2 versions F700 and H850?What these code means?About the network or what?Just to mention that I've allready asked LG Official support at Greece and they don't know nothing to help about.
Is there any opinions?Thank You

Korean version (F700) vs. EU version (H850).
F700 can't unlock bootloader -> can't root.
H850 can root.
And the supported basebands are different between these 2 variants (you should google more).

If it's actually an F700 model number, the seller has no idea what he's talking about and/or lying to you. The only versions that have bootloader unlock are:
H850
H830
RS988
H840 SE
Out of the above models, only the h850, h830 and rs988 have root. Only the h830 and h850 have custom ROMs.
Hopefully this helps.
Hi and yes,your post is helping a lot.So I think the seller has no idea about LG5 and telling just what he think is good to sell.I am afraid I have to quit fron his store and find another one,more reliable.
Thanks for your post.

No problem. I don't want to see you buy something thinking you can root / use custom ROMs only later to find out you can't. A lot of sellers think that sim unlocked is same thing as bootloader unlocked because they have no clue, although some just simply lie to sell a phone they don't want too. Either way, best thing to do is research and ask questions first like you did. As far as the bands needed, I'd check Google to see what bands your carrier uses and then check to see if the h850 will work on those bands. Also, be careful when buying an h850 as it must be h850 EU market model (I don't believe they ever added support for carrier specific versions of the h850, bit not 100% sure).
@jeffsga88 H840 SE version has unlock bootloader,correct?Can I root it then if I buy it?

Yes, the 840 SE can be bootloader unlocked through lg although currently can not root or anything yet we there's still no TWRP currently. Once TWRP is built, root can easily be done. Also make sure it's 840 SE (non carrier version) as others with different 840 models weren't able to unlock and some were.
Volte on lg G5 f700
This question may be a bit off topic, but is there a way for me to enable volte on my phone?
I live in India but had a friend get me an lg G5 f700s from korea. I've checked in settings and couldn't find any options to enable volte.
Will it be possible if I switch roms? If so, where can I find a guide? I'm new to xda and don't know much about rooting/ switching rooms.
Thanks in advance! Also let me know if I've left out any details while writing this post.
All above model of lg g5, which one should I buy?

Go to the hidden menu by dialing 5457#*700# and from there you should be able to enable that function.

Ok... So I have tried all the possible ways of rooting my phone V10 H960A but failed. I cant unlock my bootloader because my phone is UAE Middle East variant and the LGE official bootloader unlock site says that it isn't allowed to be bootloader unlocked. All I want is the unlock.bin for unlocking my bootloader... All I am thinking is that if anybody having a european variant which can be officially bootloader unlocked, can share his unlock.bin file with me so I can unlock my phone bootloader. Please anybody? Can you help???
[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]....
Dude this - unlock.bin is the Whole game....
No one has this file ... Every body wants to unlock bootloader
But... Till now now way is found...
No official support I think...
Keep trying... Gud luck

The Unlock.bin File is generated by your IMEI Number. It's only for one Phone, Your's. No other Phone in the hole World would use it or unlock it. Have u proof a VPN? And then try to Unlock the Bootloader on the LG Site? What is if you try to Sideload? Have you look of existing Tools or a App that can do it? What Model is Your V10? My Model is h960a with the Android 7 ATR Turkey Rom.
Write us if you find anything in the internet.
One Question to you, why you have too Unlock your V10? If you Unlock that Bootloader and Flash a Custom Rom that Second Display won't work either and the Google Play Store have a new Security Software in the Store that control's if your Smartphone has Root and Custom Rom installed.
If that happens, the Play Store won't give you any App or Game to download. And, for Nougat don't exist a Tool or anything to Root that V10 yet.
If you find anything, please tell us here and Post it to all the Users they also have or had that same Problem like you...

Try too Flash with that LGUP Tool a other Original Rom from a other Country. But, you have to think about the Size of the ROM! 32GB or 64GB Flash Size!

I have Lg V10 H961N hongkong
But unlocking bootloader is supported only for
LG V10: H960A for the European market
And only on MARSHMALLOW.
NOT AFTER NOUGAT...
I think We all have to wait for any magic other than official unlocking...

Oh, it's really [emoji22] i think. I don't know that only the h960a Modell is Supported. I don't think that LG the Unlock Models Upgrades to your Model and the other Models. Have you 64GB of ROM installed @ your V10? Have you think about to change only the Motherboard of the V10? It's a question about the Price but, that is a Idea i think or what is your thinking about?

I wanna unlock my bootloader because around 80% of the forums on rooting V10 H960A suggest a pre-unlocked bootloader before proceeding to the "ROOTING" process. I cant get my phone unlocked. I have been trying since last semester when I purchased this phone. I cant a f******g solution to this UAE model. Damn you LG.. Your policy sucks big time. I wont go for another LG phone ever in my life. I think I have tried doing this LGUP flashing thingy with 32GB ROM, but then the phone gets stucked at LG BOOTSCREEN or continously keep on bootloop and reboot loop.... Can you suggest some working Android 6.0 pre-rooted rom for my phone variant ????

My Model can Unlocked by LG on there Site. You have to look here in xda in the V10 Forum for a Pre Rooted Marshmallow ROM. I don't wanted to Root my Phone because i have Guarantee until September 2018. sorry, you have to ask Google or XDA Developers.

I just bought a LG G5 H860. From what I understand it's the Dual SIM version of the H850. However, all of the ROMs listed in this forum are for H850.
Can I use the same ROM for my phone or I'm just out of luck and there's no ROM for my phone? If there's a custom ROM for my phone please let me know. Thanks.

This is the korean variant and gets update at the right time althought there are a few issues such as the wifi and bluetooth range which are really low. Not sure if this is a softwares or a hardware issue.
