Hi,
I just purchased a locked Sprint LG V20 online and I'm just wondering what the best (Cheapest) way to unlock it and use it on a Canadian network.
I've read on some threads when you do the Dirty Santa bootloader unlock, the carrier becomes unlocked as well? (Could someone please explain the exact way how or point me to a thread that can). I also read flashing a US cellular rom on a Sprint model will unlock the phone.
Then there's a method similar to the G5 where you can download the hidden menu dialer apk and unlock it that way.
Thanks,

check the software version on your cellular telephone device.
If it mentions zv5, it is rootable. If it says zv6, dont bother. Been patched.
I went on eBay to unlock my Sprint V20 to use with AT&T.

Take à few minutes to compose your query in a clearer manner.
What LG developer site, and what unlock bin?
What are you attempting to accomplish?
If I can advise, I will, but I don't have enough info here to even know if I can advise correçtly.
Cheers

This person seems to be trying to unlock the bootloadee, but somebody in the past flashed the debug bootloader and installed the US996 firmware on either the h910, VS995, or sprint variant. First thing we need to know is the model. We need a picture of the model (under the battery in the back of the phone)

If the phone was rooted via dirty santa then the bootloader is already unlocked
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
I had this same issue with a US996 that I bought on Swappa.com. Turns out that the "factory unlocked" was really a "carrier-unlocked U.S. Cellular" model.
I was able to use the DirtySanta thing to unlock it, but it still bugs me to this day.
Sup guys,
Think it is my first post related to the LG G6. I have worked on LG L7II and LG G4 before.
Just having a little time on my hands. I have an LG H870DS and as you know LG does not support unlock.
I would like someone to provide me the following if you can (from an international H870).
DO NOT POST THE INFO HERE SINCE I WILL ASK DEVICE SPECIFIC NUMBERS.
This request is for someone that wants to unlock via LG Dev but did not unlock yet.
Please provide me with the following:
Copy with LGUP patched version of partitions (BEFORE UNLOCKING):
1. /cust
2./persistent
3./drm
IMEI, DEVICE ID from fastboot, unlock.bin
Copy with LGUP patched version of partitions (AFTER UNLOCKING):
1. /cust
2./persistent
3./drm
Ty.

Also, just unlock.bin device-id and imei will help even if you are already unlocked.

Yes me too
@neutrondev i can give you the unlock bin of a h870
Hi @runningnak3d looks like you will have another friend here who will help on unlocking the bootloader. :good:
@neutrondev, are you still working on this? I can give you mine if you are.
Glad to throw in on this. I've got the h870 that I can't unlock and I'm pissed off about it.
Why doesn't it work to make a new bootloader, one that doesn't check for verification?
can someone send me these files?
Guys, any update? I am waiting for LG reply to my request to unlock my chilean H870 bootloader, but I don't really think they will do it.

I recently bought a G6 and just read about the inability to unlock the bootloader. So I am a newcomer to G6 affairs. Forgive me if fasting doesn't help. I found an interesting thread for another device. Perhaps, however, it will be an inspiration for someone.

In theory, something using the Qualcomm EDL mode is possible, but the files needed to do so are not available yet.

I dont understand your request clearly. You wrote that this request is for somebody who did not unlock his phone yet. But who did not unlock it he most probably dont have the unlock bin. (I cant imagine somebody got the unlock bin and left his phone locked).
So you need cooperation with members who got their phone unlocked and can provide you with the required data or you need somebody who can experiment with his phone?
By the way i have an LG G6 still locked.

Why can't you?
After LG ended support now it is clear that it was worth it.
For half a year I have been looking for an unlocked G6 on local exchanges, ready to pay a little more than for a locked one.

there was a misunderstanding in interpretation, i meant that if once i have the unlock files i dont keep my phone locked but start immediately unlocking and benefitting from it.
But i was confused because i saw a new post and i thought the thread is new then i got disappointed when i saw it was written in 2018
I am loosing hope, assuming about the activity here i dont think anybody is goind to develop a bootloader unlocking code, i have to use to live with it
Hey guys,
With LG G6 H870 for European market, given there's an official way to unlock the bootloader, does anyone happen to know whether unlocking the bootloader will also unlock more LTE bands (mainly b28)?
Apparently this is the case for LG V30+, but not sure about G6.
Thanks.
