I just bought my g6 and i live in middle east . and the variant is H870 so how i can tell if i can unlock it or no ?
Go here, and select "supported devices"
This will tell you if the hardware can be unlocked.
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
But apparently, not all countries of the same phone will unlock.. you just have to try the procedure.

Don't think you can unlock your H870 from middle East, only European H870's can be unlocked, the IMEI number will prevent you from unlocking even though it's a H870.

thats what LG has decided for now, hopefully they open others sooner rather than later.
Traditionally the European ones are unlocked first... we just need to be patient.

Nope, once unlocked you can`t relock the bootloader. Regarding the law LG is obligated to uphold the warranty (in the EU) if the defect is not proven to be caused by unlocking/rooting/flashing custom software. But if they (LG or the service center) keep their foot down you may have to go to court to get your right.

I am planning to buy an LG G6+ US997U(Model no LGUS997U.AAMZBK) and import it to India for the simple fact that US997U models are bootloader unlockable.
The problem arises that the LTE bands being used in India are not mentioned in the FCC filing for US997 models.
As I understand the modem in SD821 supports all LTE bands and there are region specific software blocks to block other bands.
My question is whether after unlocking and rooting, I can remove those blocks so the phone works fine with the LTE bands in India.
Please Help.
you know only the H870 and US997 can be unlocked no other models like the h870d or ds or a u version
..but DS is quite different. (two sim) 997 and 997U are differ just in mem size and quad dac. So the boot is almost the same.

Yes I read in an Amazon review that there is official support for bootloader unlock for US997U.
Question now is whether I can unlock all the LTE bands available with the SD821 and whether I can flash the H870 or US997 recovery and roms(Lineage, AquariOS) on US997U?
@J0SH1X @rc420head Can you guys help answer this please?

Absolute nothing. No custom rom, no recovery, no root. ...and I think no system updates too for u, because it is an Amazon branded phone.
So... Is the G6+ (US997U) supported by LG Developer's bootloader unlock, or not? That's the real issue... not the fact that it's "just the memory size" because LG distinguishes support based on the IMEI/MEID. Consider the fact that all of the US99x phones are the same model number for the "unlocked" and the "US Cellular" versions... but LG will not send you an unlock code if you attempt to use a device ID from a device that is provisioned to the US Cellular carrier. The hardware is literally identical.
Also consider that the V30+ is in the same boat. The US998 can be unlocked on the LG dev site (with a little trickery - you have to change the website code in Chrome for it to work)... but the US998U can NOT. We're not really sure why.
Presently... the LG Dev Supported Devices List does NOT list the US997U (G6+)... so I want to ask anyone here that says it can be unlocked how they did it. It's hard to find info on xda, since the "plus" version doesn't seem to have it's own portal.
Thanks, all!
I tried to unlock my US997U on the portal (selecting US997 from the dropdown) and my unlock was brutally denied.
Extremely lame that simply having more memory means I can't unlock my phone!
is there any update on this? can LGUS997U be unlocked? I too was denied on the LG developer website

YEAH SUPER LAME!. the website denied mine too. SOOO LAME. because fastboot gave me the CODE... SO LAME.
Unfortunately, your device( United States, (AMAZON(USA)), LGUS997U.AMZ )does not support unlocking the bootloader.
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.

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.
I have a locked lg g6 h870 eu. I know that the distribution of .bin files has been ended but is there any way to unlock or any one working on one?
Id really like to know
