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.

I have the same phone that I just bought and (sheepishly) just found out has wi-fi calling disabled by AT&T. That was a main reason for getting it, but unfortunately I went by the Sonim website's info and not AT&T's regarding that feature. Verizon's version has it enabled, but it's also much scarcer on the secondary market. The XP5800 doesn't seem to be a popular phone for tinkering judging by the lack of info on doing so.
Does anyone know if wi-fi calling could hypothetically be activated by rooting and then toggling some values, or is it more likely that the involved code was omitted entirely? I saw something to the former about tethering.

Still have found no rooting way. Bootloader locked, so no custom recovery can be used. Very unpopular phone, as you see, thread dead.

Each Android can get rooted by means of SuperSU ZIP. Only requirement is to have successfully USB debugging option enabled in Android->Settings->Developer options. You install this ZIP via phone's stock recovery.
To access developer mode, google "developer mode sonim xp5s". Open article: kb.eschat.com "Open Developer Options Tab on Sonim XP5, XP5s or XP3...". The device will then open the Developer Options tab. Ensure the take bug report option is enabled, and that USB debugging is also enabled. You may also add a menu button to the Power tab for future access to this feature.
Be sure you use a clean SuperSU ZIP to avoid malware. Suggest getting one from the xda forum.
Hi. Is there any success with rooting or enabling second sim to working 2 sims together?

How i can do it? Stock recovery have no menu. /cache access denided from user. Putting update.zip do nothing without /cache/recovery/command. Did you know some trick to proceed install? ADB debugging enable, but no root rights there.

Hello SpectralUA,
Does it really remove PIN?
I’m planning on buying Sonim XP5s and send it overseas. I just want to be 100% sure that Recovery mode will remove PIN.
Thank you.

Is there way to check if Scout has restriction?
also, do you know which XP5s (AT&T, SouthernLinc, Sprint or Verizon) has wifi calling enabled and 2nd sim card slot is unlocked? I mean unlocked version of those 3 carriers.
Thank you.

Not if the device is PIN locked and you don't know it, obviously .
If it's open, just try to reset the phone from the regular menu and you'll see if it's restricted

2nd sim usable without 1st. Found no way to enable both at same time.
Maybe anyone know how to dualsim (standby mode, etc) this unit?

Hello Everyone,
Greetings..!!
I am a Reno 10x mobile user from India. I have recently unlocked the boot-loader in my settings. I never proceeded with any procedures of rooting, further. However, I can not use any secured applications like banking and govt related apps with an error that "My Device is Rooted".
I am atleast hopeful that Magisk Manager can help me with usage of those apps. I am looking for ways to install the Magisk on my mobile. Can anyone please help me a simple/best procedure for fixing my problem. I also believe that this Magisk can help me with some modules for google camera mods.
My current version of android is 10 with Build CPH1919EX_11_C.29
Thank you.
With Best Regards,

How u. Unlocked bootloader
If you toggled to unlock OEM in settings then u didnt unlock anything.
Check the Developer settings

There is an OEM boot loader unlock button in USB developer settings. Please use this option carefully, as you can not lock the boot loader again using this option.
@sathis531
If we could unlock bootloader then here you would see a few custom roms but instead, we must use ****ty oppo ota ;(
Example.

No
This not correct.
The OEM unlock does NOT unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader requires certain ADB specific commands or 3rd party PC software.

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

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.
