This was LGs' response to my email asking about bootloader unlocking on the g5. They stated they will only unlock the European h850 model and they will do it this month... Here is the email:
"Hello,
Thank you for your interest in LG G5.
We are planning to support bootloader unlocking for LG G5 for the European market with model number H850 soon.
It will be available this month.
However, we currently have no plan to support bootloader unlocking for other variants of the G5.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If there are any changes to the supported devices, we will let you know via our website.
Best Regards,
LG Developer site Team"
This is good news if you have that model unfortunately bad news for the rest of us until an exploit can be found and used.
yeah also got a reply today

Great!!!
How does the Tmobile variant compare to the European? Same bands?
sooooo great!
thank you for sharing this new!!!
So are the U.S. models screwed? I'm on the sprint variant. I've only had it two days and I love it but if there is no chance of unlock boot loader I will return it

great news for us over here in europe, but not so much for the rest of the world. though it looks like there are already working root's available so it shouldn't be long before wide availability, or maybe even the unlocked euro bootloader may point the devs to a solution for the other models?
Does anyone know what bands the H850 supports? It could still work in the US for certain carriers if you don't mind the import fees and if you could find it anywhere that would ship to the US.

OK, well now we just need to know if there are any H850 variants that aren't for the European market and therefore won't be able to unlock the bootloader.
There were some H815 models that couldn't be bootloader unlocked. You had to go out of your way to find specific H815 variants which could.
It's also nice to see the G5 H850 supports band 40. The H815 didn't. And the H815T wasn't able to be bootloader unlocked.

This is the g4 all over again. Give it up and get a unlockable device while g5 value is still good. Lg is never going to unlock but the one model and thats it final

Yeah its a pity they persist with that. Only thing you can complain about.
Why just the euro market ? what is the official reason.
it's like they have their foot in the door, not ready to slam it shut or it could open wider.
Google does have a part to share in the blame here, they mandated with 6 that to root required boot loader unlock. Never the case earlier. Will it continue with N, don't see why not.

Probably European laws that oblige LG to provide an unlock (freedom of choice and such..).
Microsoft has special version of Windows for Europe too (e.g Windows without Microsoft Media Player).
I'm not from Europe but I only buy my phones over the years in the European \ International versions.

Have heard there may be some legal requirement but wanted something to back that..
All root amounts to is being admin. Can you think of any computing system earlier that you bought that did not give you admin rights. I cannot. Nothing special about being admin at all. Privileged yes.
But on phones, exploits have to be found to acquire admin on equipment you have bought. You have to break into your own system to be able to administer it better. What (!)
Well, now you cannot even do that...on the LG flagship if its not from the right region. Other companies do not seem to care, Samsung, Sony, HTC etc. The chinese ones go out of their way to make it easier.

How does warranty work for you. If i bought from abroad, the local LG would refuse service and say no warranty.
It's only a matter of time before the G's will be made in India so buying from abroad is not convenient.

Again its basicly a tmobile phone. Metropcs i guess is under them so just about anything that can be flashed on tmob can on this
Now i did notice one interesting fact. I was 5.1.1 only unlock was allow oem unlock in dev options. Upgraded to 6.0 and i also have fastboot to 5.1 1 was like g4 no fastboot commands were accepted. So i now no they can implement unlocks in updates lyin arses

heh yeah, we can speculate as to why the delay.
But am talking from a G4 perspective. Once enough time has passed, that any negative development cannot affect future sales ?
No relief if you're on a G5 as you will have to wait it out. The flip side is if G5 sales do not pan out they become more reasonable
If you look at the G5 & friends, this is encouraging tinkering isn't it. LG to me seems to be a company that listens to its engineers more than its marketing & industrial designers unlike say Apple or Samsung.
Form follows function at LG. This is clear so far. That kind of culture encourages development but somebody at the top said no or at least not yet.

Hello I have a problem with my LG G2 (D802) Europe model! My carrier have relase 4G in bands 38B 2600 MHz TDD buth lg g2 d802 not have this bands, has instead bands TDD 40B 2300 Mhz!
I can add this bands on my g2?
The new license the company in 2600 MHz band (TDD) has been acquired by a process of transfer of RCS & RDS and 2K Telecom, with the agreement of the National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM).

Thank you in advance! And sorry for my bad English!
Unfortunately these bands are not something we can add/remove but some chips are hardware capable only that they're restricting them for some reasons.
LE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYe4CLJzmQg#t=76
Try to follow the clip above if you are from RO(the guy who made this wrote the instructions in romanian), should give you what you wanted but apparently everybody is still complaining about band 38 not doing much
I'm also in the same situation, i keep finding stuff that leads me to think that it's possible, first of all the snapdragon 800 supports LTE band 38, there are several threads that have unlocking guides and claim in the first post that several devices have been unlocked (I did not manage on mine unfortunately).
From what i've seen the One plus one has managed to unlock that LTE band, a Galaxy S5 and several phones that have MTK chipsets (with only root access and an app).
So unlocking LTE bands is not impossible (if there is hardware support of course) .
Really hope someone will give us some useful info on this. (we got 4g and extra 10gb of traffic for free, but only on 4g)
hello, just wondering if i can change 4G bands on my Motorola 4G Plus (XT1642) i cannot use 4G on USA or Mexico, only 3G or H+, i was checking on google and saw something to change baseband to unlock all bands or something like that, can some expert tell me if this is possible or not?? here is my Phone Information:

Just wondering if I need to change the Modem file or something to make it work on another country as 4G
Same issue in the Netherlands with my Moto Plus. No 4G only G3 or lower
the weird thing is that no one knows if this is possible lol, no experts yet for moto g4 plus
Or it has multiple bands and it's unclear what you want to change. It has Edge HSPA and LTE for GSM and evdo and LTE for CMDA. That makes it a true world phone. Unless your variant does not support it.

Do that and you probably wont have service at all. I don't think anyone has been able to unlocked bands.

No it's still stock android, though if i use my Galaxy s5 4G pops up immediately
Did not see any reason to use custom rom jet...
Got it fixed, call your provider and ask to reset QOS / data. 4G pops right up after restart.
For those wondering: it's not possible. One can technically unlock additional bands following QPST tutorials, and actually changes does stick, however model number cannot be changed which is the one that "tells" the device which bands to use. This has been my personal experience
It's not that. You can unlock the bands with QPST, but if the actual RF amplifiers cannot work on those bands, you won't get signal. One can be lucky if for example adds 800MHz band to a device that already has 850MHz, but the signal strength might be lower than expected.
http://www.radio-electronics.com/in...ong-term-evolution/lte-frequency-spectrum.php
I did "add" via Qualcomm software the EU band 20 to my US phone that had band 5, and I will be able to test it when I get there next week. The US phone has the other main two EU bands (bands 3 and 7, urban mostly).

So you're telling me there's a chance? I do have a XT1622 which has bands 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 19(800), 20(800), 28(700), 40(2300). I'm trying to use it with band 4 (1700/2100), what should I try next then?
Band 4 is "special" because it has such a wide frequency difference between uplink and downlink that I doubt it will work. The UL for band 4 is the same like band 3, but the DL for band 4 is more like band 1.
Not sure if they can be "coupled" like that, it might... Qualcomm modem reprogramming - to get in that mode it's easy on our phones, Power on + Vol Up and then scroll to Qcom... You need the special software (2 pieces, both running in the same time on PC), don't ask me how, just search on XDA.
Hi !
I am on free mobile French Operator, I read this:

Thanks for your reply, I suppose and I hope it will work for me too..
Do you receive OTA updates normally?
Yes, even after a month of test I didn't find anything causing problem
The only thing I had to change is the SMS/MMS app because the stock one don't work on standard MMS network
Very good news ! I use mood for sms/mms so not a problem for me.. I will probably buy this phone in few days.
Thank you again for your quick replies ?
Im in Uk and all works fine. No problems at all and dont need to change mms/sms app. Only one thing Im missing is wifi call. I cant enable it because option is not available in menu with UK sim.

Canada as mentionned works fine... The only issue I see with France is LTE bands. Are yours supported? Check the LTE bands with your operator and what the Z-Force supports, otherwise you might be stuck with 3G only (Which has all bands)

Z-Force droid is a verizon branded and exclusive phone... Was never released anywhere else from what I was told, so you'll have USA bands. You're supported for LTE, as B7 (2600) and B13 (700) tough. The Global version of the Moto Z (Non-Droid) would have global bands.
Verizon screwed people and moto over badly by making this phone an exclusive. Moto Z Force should have been the flagship Moto, not the Moto Z or the Z play...

So I am glad to hear that the French operator "free mobile" is totally compatible with unlocked verizon USA bands, and it will good to know it for future smartphone bought in USA, because it's a good deal (at least 100€ off with Europe, z force at the price of z play...) to buy flagship in USA
Just so you know, if you want to get a replacement shattershield, you'll have to order it from Moto and have to have a US shipping address... I can't get one shipped to Canada, sadly.

hi friends I bought an axon 7 on amazon, the model number is a2017u.
I checked with sims from 2 major carriers in my country and first issue is frequently I am getting no service warning and literally I cannot use the phone for call and sms for daily use. Throughout the day it mostly says no service.
Next issue is phone is not support 3g band and it should as the spec says. Will explain later on this post please keep read on.
before I purchasing I asked clearly on amazon answers whether this support in my country, sri lanka the answers were yes it should work in my country.
And also, I have checked the frequency bands in my country and the model above whether they are compatible each other.
Supported bands by the phone model a2017u as official ZTE site mentioned are: (check the specification section in
• GSM/EDGE:B2/3/5/8
• CDMA BC0/1/10
• UMTS/HSPA: B2/B5/B4/B1/B8
• LTE: B2/B4/B5/B12/B13/B17/B7/B3/B1/B20/B29/B30/B25/B26/B41
• 2CA: B2+B4, B2/4+B12, B2/4+B29, B2/4+B5, B41+B41, B25+B25
In gsm arena also here are the bands support by usa model above
• 2G bands - CDMA 800 / 1900 - USA
• 3G bands - HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - A2017G, USA
• 4G bands - LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 20(800), 25(1900), 26(850), 29(700), 30(2300), 41(2500) – USA
In sri lanka support bands are
• 2G capabilities - GSM 900, GSM 1800
• 3G capabilities - UMTS 2100
• 4G capabilities - LTE 1800
With all the above verified information, can some of you who actually familiar with these technical stuff, confirm this phone should work in my country?
Because when I contacted official zteusa online chat they say my country may not support even I clearly explain that if the band is support it should work but they are not very supportive and they end up saying the same thing again and again.
I spent over more than 400 usd for the phone with shipping and clearance and everything and now I cannot use the phone for my daily use. And on the otherside zte support team is not supportive while I am going with the facts.
Please some experts here help me how to solve this situation. The frequency bands doesnot depend on the country right ? if the same band 2100 support for 2 different countries then it should work like the same isn’t it ? not just for USA right ?
And “No Service” status of the sim that i am getting frequently almost every time also due to that frequency band thing or hardware defect of the phone ? any thoughts ?
please clarify someone who know these stuffs well.
Please help friends I am really tired of this situation looking for answers. Sadly there is no official agent for zte brand in our country. So I am stuck here. With all the facts above phone should work in my country right?
bump
anyone to help please ?

No service warning: bad reception area or defective phone, you need to go close from any cellular tower and check there.
Is your phone in and out of 3g band?
Is your phone in and out LTE band?
Read above.
You do a great job searching for bands and carriers from your country, I bet for a defective device. Sorry

No service warning: bad reception area or defective phone, you need to go close from any cellular tower and check there.
Is your phone in and out of 3g band?
Is your phone in and out LTE band?
Read above.

hi mate first of all thanks for the reply.
i checked 4g and its working but in my country there is no much coverage. so 3g is wt we have to use mainly here. and 3g band is not working. but specs says otherwise.
can you confirm if band support as an example 3g - 2100 band in here and USA then the phone should work in both countries without any issues right ?
and no service thing is appear most of the time in daily basis and time to time appear actual service provider name and signal bar but mostly saying no service. this cause the GSM band right ?
i dont have much technical knowledge in that area. thats why i need to confirm this mate. bz zteusa site support team seems like not taking the responsibility here. so i have to go with the confirmed facts u knw. thanks again for the support mate.

You can change sim card
Or:
do a full factory reset to the terminal
Stop asking for a magic trick, that's not going to happen.
This is simple: put another sim card, or do a full reset. It's a basic thing.
You choose the wrong phone if in your country the cellular signal is weak. Do you want an advice? Return the phone and ask for a refund.

Hi guys,
I bought a G5 Plus (XT1685) last week But I can't get 4.5G with my phone and my phone doesn't show "4G+" sign ..it just show "4G" logo
does XT1685 support 4.5G ? or only the USA edition support 4.5G ?!

I think yes, I used to had 4G+, but I dont know what happen , because I flash a new firmware, with august patch and now the 4G+ disappeared, I have the XT1681!
sometimes I get LTE+ displayed
depends on the region I am at but the phone supports it

maybe because XT1681 LTE band is similar to USA Edition (XT1687) LTE band :
1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 25(1900), 26(850), 38(2600), 41(2500), 66(1700/2100)
XT1685 LTE band :
1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 19(800), 20(800), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Which model do you have? XT1685 ?
my previous phone (Galaxy A7 2017) always showed 4g+ in my room
I got the 1685 and have 4g+ in top of the screen quite often.
It doesn't seem to work better/faster than normal 4g though.
The Moto G5 Plus supports LTE-A Category 6... meaning 2 or 4 MIMO layers for up to a maximum 301Mb/s download and 51Mb/s upload rate in supported LTE Band (US XT1687 B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 38, 41, 66 and UK/EU XT1685 B1, B3, B5, B7, B8, B19, B20, B28, B38, B40, B41) provided there is carrier support.
A global list of carriers and their LTE/LTE-A network support is available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
Be aware that although a carrier may be listed as having implemented LTE-A or MIMO, that doesn't mean it is everywhere in that carrier's coverage area.

Thanks for your description , but as i said , with my previous phone i had 4g+ sign top of the screen .. my sim carrier supports LTE+
so the main question is , Does XT1685 supports 4g+ same as the XT1687 ? some friends here say "yes" but some people say "NO" in another forum

The official specs clearly state it supports LTE Cat6, which is LTE-A (MIMO)... I know the XT1687 (and my previous XT1575 which supported LTE-A as well) did not indicate a different icon when connected to it, just "LTE".

Omg, why should I lie about it :s
Maybe, if I think of it, I'll make a screeny and post it, but really...
Being taken for a liar doesn't motivate me to help...

Danke schoen, Merci, thank you, grazie, gracias.
Yes, it's supported
The phone will always show "4G" even when you're connected to a 4G+ Network, this is because stock Android doesn't have a different nomenclature for a 4.5G network and as we know Motorola use stock Android, maybe some models of the Moto G5 shows "4.5G" or "4G+" because of the carrier's, you know...they can add some stuff in Android devices...like the T-Mobile or AT&T devices, shows "4G" instead of "H+", like the rest of the world.
