The T-MOBILE version allows you to unlock your bootloader, but they disabled the useful fastboot commands just like on the G5, which means even though you can unlock the bootloader, you can't get TWRP or root yet. As for the other variants of the G6, until LG releases the bootloader unlock (adds that specific device to their supported models) those methods of unlocking will not work (I.e. link 2 & 3). The guy in the video is using a T-Mobile phone, hence why he was able to unlock bootloader.

Hope this helps
Disappointing that they didn't choose a variant with better band support

Would have been better if they had let the H990 or H990DS bootloader unlock

Sent from my VS988 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
According to the supported device list which was linked from the article you posted, the G6 isn't supported. Would be interesting to see if you get a reply to an unlock request on a G6..

Dears,
I'm start to Unlock the Bootloader for my device so I can install twrp following this steps:
https://appuals.com/officially-unlock-lg-g6-bootloader-install-twrp-root
So I can later flash the Fulmics Rom 3.0.
After going through the painful bootloader unlocking procedure, the process failed at the last step, emailing the unlock bin from LG, with the message "Unfortunately, your device (UAE) does not support unlocking the bootloader.
Mod Edit: No changing IMEI talk, it is illegal
To unlock the bootloader is simple AF.
Connect phone. Boot to fastboot. Send commands. Done.
Plz read carefully the unlock instruction you used. Your device can't be unlocked:
This guide is for officially unlocking the bootloader of the LG G6 H870 European edition, and the USA carrier-free US997 edition. This method will not work on any other models, such as H871/2/3/ or H870K/DS. It also will not work on carrier-tied US editions.

Oh, boy, I don't know where to put my face now! My bad, you're completely right!
Hi guys, is there a way to root the H873 model? It's the Canadian version.
If not, why? I'm curious
There isn't because the bootloader is not unlockable.
Why not unlockable?

You can root it with KingRoot. I've used this method to root my "unrootable" G3 D852 from Virgin Mobile Canada and then flash TWRP. You can do this on the G6 as well, except there is no TWRP version for the H873 so that is where we get stuck.

Nope. Kingroot doesn't work on any LG G6 devices.
Guys I am coming from GNote 3 so I am not very familiar with LG devices. Been searching, but now I have to ask before making a purchase. Can the Tmo H872 be BL unloacked/rooted or not?
I know the US997 is the way to go or 870 (rare in US). But I am also seeing better deals on the H872. So before pulling the trigger I just want to confirm first.
on the LG dev site this is all I see, but is there a way to unlock the H872?

Yes. But I see this guy on UT, Android Explained, here, seems to imply TMo allows their H872 BL unlocking. All you have to do is DL minimal ADB and issue fastboot unlock BL command, no BL unlock code required. Is this true? Again new to LG and trying to be prior-active if you will.
Huh.
This https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/unlock-bootloader-tmo-t3578099 says the same as UT. I am on US997. Sure seems too easy, but hey what do I know? Have you posted over on the TMo forum?
Yes, I am on T-Mobile H872 rooted and bootloader unlocked, with a custom ROM. There's a thread called lafsploit (something along those lines) by runningnak3d, he made a detailed guide on all the steps.
