If you have an european device you can unlock bootloader officially:
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS
Follow the steps on this site. But it only works with H815. Other devices are not supported.
Asking myself what LG is thinking to go this courious way.

No. aboot is signed and so the sbl and/or trust zone verify will reject loading a modified aboot.

Looks like you are right, the guy who unlocked the H440n is about to post an unlock method for our device!
@przyrodnik35 , @TheMadScientist420 , @AndroidBugs , @steadfasterX
Hi guys, you've been quoted because you are part of this thread most active or recent members.
I just wanted to revive some of the most active threads for the H525n because it seems that @pvineeth97 managed to unlock the bootloader of the H525n and he built TWRP for us.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-1-lg-g4c-t3613824
He wrote that he would post the bootloader unlock method in a few days (he did it successfully by patching the aboot for other LG devices recently).
So let's have a good community to welcome that news !!!

Dont compare LG G4c with LG G4. G4 has a different processor. G4c has Snapdragon 410. The patched aboot method works with Snapdragon 410.

The patched aboot method doesn't work for G4 because it has different processor.

i have always tried to tell people to never lose hope
as we have seen countless times again and again devices gain root and twrp several years after release due to new bugs loopholes hacks mods and exploits found everyday
in 5 years we wont believe how unsecure our devices are now and in 20 years how we were even able to survive with the devices we have now lol
i put my g4 on the shelf but it is rooted on lolipop and would love to see rooted nougat
i am curently in a lg g stylo 3 which i like but it has nougat that reminds me of g4s lolipop and id love to see it rooted and twrped too

Just received XT1254 with unlocked BL

I did not believe until I received it and tried flashing absolutely all firmware out there for 1225/1254/1250 without bricking it. I then moved on to my next step in plan - install any retail version firmware but Verizon. I started the experiment with 4.4.4 first and found that 1225 radio will not work in 1254 (baseband simply cannot be recognised). Then I flashed 1254 radio on top (later with boot.img as well) and this make everything work except Wifi cannot be turned on. Although I don't expect it to work, I tried 1225 5.0.2 firmware with 1254 radio and as expected it does not work.
Honestly I was hoping the 1254 radio + 1225 firmware will work in 4.4.4, which means it should work when 5.1 comes out for 1225. I tried to find related information but there weren't much, maybe due to lack of BL unlocked 1254s out there. I once read someone write about radio.img must go with boot.img but I tried that. Just wondering if any of you experts here have advices for me. Well, I am assuming my phone will not be bricked so I am brave!
@Skrilax_CZ can help you.

I know not too many would believe, until I can post the photos. Before I reach 10 posts, let me give a bit more information here - this unit was claimed to be unlocked by software, in 4.4.4 it shows UNLOCKED with status code 1, and in Lollipop it shows ENGINEERING. In both versions software version is MODIFIED instead of OFFICIAL. There are some discussion in China and it appears there are three ways to unlock - 1. engineering handset from factory, 2. officially unlocked, 3. software unlocked. The one I have is of the type 3, but as far as I can learnt from the internet, there is no major difference between type 2 and 3, if type 2 will ever exist...

Yes, I will certainly try it as soon as I received reply on the radio issue. At the moment I am still trying all I can to try to fix the Wifi cannot turn on problem in my 4.4.4 XT1254 radio + 4.4.4 XT1225 firmware combination. I honestly wouldn't mind using that for a while until I can use 5.1 XT1254 radio + 5.1 XT1225 firmware combination...
My objective is to get rid of Verizon firmware so the system is lighter and that I can have proper GSM call functions such as USSD, and tethering etc. I seem to remember that mixing firmware and radio can be done under the same Android version in the past with other Moto phones... Any suggestions or advices here would be highly appreciated.
Sorry for posting so much in a short time, I need to get to 10 posts and post the photos

Downgrading from Marshmallow to Lolipop

Right now I have the LG G4 (H812) from Fido. Absolutely love the phone, but was extremely disappointed in finding out there was no root method that worked with Marshmallow.
CyanogenMod has been my go to since 2013. Needless to say, I'm on a mission to have it running on my G4. It looks like the only way to do so is downgrading to Lollipop.
Any advice?

i dont think your variant can be bootloader unock to install twrp.... you need that to flash cm.
you can get root on LP. and yes you can downgrade .. as long as both version antirollback are the same.. dont downgrade if they are different it will brick phone... example am on 20i MM is antirollback V2 and l0n LP is V2 also i cana change from both .. but new is 20o antirollback V3 if i update am stuck there... this is on the tmobile not sure of other variants... youll need to ask..
and in LP you can ad root only..
I can't flash TWRP with Flashify once root is achieved?

no.. you must have bootloader unlock .. only tmobile h811 and some h815 europeans variatns not all h815 can be bootloader unlock... but you can root LP only..

IIRC, H812's all have locked bootloaders, so no TWRP.

If you search for hidden menu code you enter it on dialer. then in there should be device info on the bottom it should tell you your antirollback.. then make sure or ask in the KDZ thread wich is compatible... am not sure if this is only for t mobile or the rest of phones.. look for your variant LP KDZ and ask there..
My antirollback is 0.

i dont know... ive used one click root on G2 5.02. it worked on LP... oon G4 root can only be achieve on LP injecting rooted system.img .. as in MM they use systemless.. so in order to root it until now you need a kernel that supports systemless.. and of course twrp. and for that you need bootloader unlocked.. ill do a search but beleive if there was root for MM it will be posted in XDA..
I'm assuming there's no way to unlock my bootloader as well.
I haven't found anything solid.

Not sure if you know about it, but your phone is basically showpiece from showrooms or shops, that's the X in your version number. This kind of phones are not intended to be sold for customers.
You will never got more updates as you already have, so your only option is to flash it manually.
Bootloop problem is not dependant on software version. It doesn't matter if you have 5.1 or 6.0.

Do you have an accurate source to backup your wild claims?
My EU (UK) H815 v20d-EUR-XX is currently downloading the update.
No need for a manual flash and my device certainly was not a store demo model.
Hello,
My G4 is unlocked and ROOTED and the update is available and in downloading atm.
There are something I should to know about the fact that my smartphone ROOTED evening before applying the update?
Could this affect my G4?
Thank you! =D

Sure,
We are not talking about the same thing.
Look again, and maybe twice at his version number: It's is VX10c-EUR-XX
I'm not talking about XX, but about the first "X"... see?
Sure, your device is the same as mine v20d-EUR-XX which is a retail model, but this is not the case for VX10C-EUR-XX which is unfortunately a demo model

Off you can't. You have another recovery. Use LG UP and flash it. Easier can't be. Note you will lose root and the recovery.

Go to thread about the Portugal update and download the KDZ from there. Any link from that thread is the international H815 update. Don't worry about countries and shenanigans is the same firmware for all. V20g-EUR-XX. Install LG UP on your PC. First the DLL then the program. Place the KDZ in your LG UP install directory (Crogram Files (x86)/LG Electronics/LGUP/model/8994). Put your phone in download mode. (With phone turned off press Volume UP and with it press plug in the USB cable). Click refurbished option for a complete wipe and clean flash. Before all this make a backup. You can also select upgrade option to avoid wipe but I always recommend a clean flash. Read the according threads in XDA for further information if you need.
It seems the h818p will not be updated(yet)?
@src151 thanks for the info. I didn't knew that demo phones can have the GSM module. At least I got it at a very good price
I will upgrade manually then.

My Nokia 5 has the same OEM-Unlock developer option as my Nexus 5x.
Never had such a barebones android device, nearly boring
Bootloader becomes unlockable through an option on developer settings, and the pure android approach will help developers
If my bootloader is unlocked, how and where can I get eg. TWRP Recovery for my Nokia 5?
You will have to wait until there is an un/official TWRP released. Which you will surely find here first.

On the Nokia 6 the OEM bootloader unlock button doesn't really work. The bootloader is not really unlocked.
There's also no bootloader unlock in the Nokia 3. < That guy got his XDA account suspended for posting spam crap instead of real stuff.
Probably same with the Nokia 5. Nokia has locked the bootloader down on all of this year's Androids unless anyone can prove otherwise.
If you arrow up out of those topics to the broader Nokia 6, and Nokia 3 Android forums, you will see there's no bootloader unlock, no TWRP recovery, no ROMs, not even any real root.
Remember, if it's not here on XDA it's not real. It will be here first. There's tons of scam/malware websites that will urge you to download crap and promise bootloader unlock and UNICORNS, but don't do it.
EDIT: for the Nokia 6, two days ago someone has CLAIMED to be able to root and install TWRP bypassing the LOCKED DOWN bootloader. It seems complicated and it's not been verified yet as of this date.

There's also no bootloader unlock in the Nokia 3. < That guy got his XDA account suspended for posting spam crap instead of real stuff.
Probably same with the Nokia 5. Nokia has locked the bootloader down on all of this year's Androids unless anyone can prove otherwise.
If you arrow up out of those topics to the broader Nokia 6, and Nokia 3 Android forums, you will see there's no bootloader unlock, no TWRP recovery, no ROMs, not even any real root.
Remember, if it's not here on XDA it's not real. It will be here first. There's tons of scam/malware websites that will urge you to download crap and promise bootloader unlock and UNICORNS, but don't do it.
EDIT: for the Nokia 6, two days ago someone has CLAIMED to be able to root and install TWRP bypassing the LOCKED DOWN bootloader. It seems complicated and it's not been verified yet as of this date.

i have ported TWRP for Nokia 6, not sure does it work or not as i do not own this particular device
edit: i wouldn't try that TWRP installation method as it says "brush brush method" what ever that even is!? atleast not before someone can actually confirm it works
IIRC someone have a Nokia 6 Chinese using global rom. They flash them in edl mode. So can we use that to bypass the bootloader?
This is the reply that I got from Nokia Care... Conclusion - they don't have a clue.

disappointing
I was really keen on buying it, and if the phone is not rootable then there is no point in buying it.
hope NOKIA team is reading this and they realize the importance of having an unlockable bootloader.

In my opinion we should bomb them with these kind of questions so that they understand that they should let us unlock the bootloader if we want to...

There a secret debug tool in the phone, just open the Dialer app and type *#*#DBGTOOL#*#*. Wonder if it helps

Sent from my TA-1053 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
all of you are right without root there is no use of the phone ..after so many years nokia has done the come back but still we are not happy
So it will never be rooted?
Sorry for double, but I found this in developer options. What does it mean? Doesn't it unlock the bootloader?

Finally i got a solution for Nexus and Pixel Factory Image flash, now it works perfectly
Nice looking tool.
I'm surprised by the lack of comments on this thread. I'm looking at getting a Pixel 2 5". Is it this easy to just plug in and use this tool to root?

I'm surprised too, I do not know the reason sincerely
neat, been in debate on flashing but it doesnt seem like theres anything besides recovery and kernels. Wonder why the pixels have such a low rom rate. Even my pixel c doesnt have a root/rom option still.

Perhaps because the cost has become excessive? Or maybe because there is no more reason to do modding? There are no more a rom like CyanogenMod
thank you!! :good::good::good::good: i have been hoping for something like this to be released. been missing the nexus toolkit. hopefully its working well. :fingers-crossed:

You need to enable oem unlock in developer options and then you will able to unlock your bootloader

If it's greyed out, then u have to do a factory reset. However, it still wont unlock it.
I had the same problem when I was trying to unlock my phone's bootloader, but it failed every time, so I'm just waiting if anyone is able to unlock it.
My phone's (Pixel 2) Android version is 8.1.0 and patch level is March 5, 2018.
Let me know if it works out for you.
Thanks

There was a brief period of time where a bunch of us got our VZW Pixel 2's bootloaders unlocked, the mega thread is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/maybe-stupid-question-verizon-pixel-2s-t3726294/post74983838#post74983838, but from what I've read the firmware was patched in February that closed this window/loophole. Also carrier unlocked != bootloader unlocked, it just means you can use it on any carrier's network. Has nothing to do with OEM Unlock in Developer Options. Hope that helps.
With the new update a i make a new recovery flasher option for devices with project treble. Test it and told me if it works
