I try to requesting bootloader unlock key for my US996,
but the page tell me " Unfortunately,your device(United States,(US_CELLULAR_TULSA(USA)) )does not support unlocking the bootloader."
I am very sure that my process is not wrong.
Can anyone tell me why is this? Thanks！
The only US version that can be unlocked is the US996 Unlocked version. As your post shows you have the US996 US Cellular version which cannot be unlocked on the LG site.

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.
so the bootloader unlock is now availabe for the (European H870) and it's a good thing but what about the other users from around the world?, now the question is will there ever be a way to unlock the bootloader for the other variants like the h870s?
Where is it available for the Europe versions??

so I just ran into a weird problem. My device is US997 i tried to get the bootloader unlock code from LG and after filling the form with IMEI and Device - ID, the error message returned "Your device (LGH870) is not supported for bootloader unlock. My device is LGUS997, and either way isnt H870 variant unlockable too? anyone else face this issue?
I purchased a used US997 that appears to be a LG demo or test phone. It activates and works, but the software version is still from May of 2017. What is the date of the current stock software for the US997? Furthermore, I attempted to unlock the bootloader and got denied. The message says "Your device (TEST_GPIN) does not support unlocking the bootloader." Hence my thinking the phone is a beta/test version of the consumer model. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this? At this juncture, I am posed to return the phone.
Thanks in advance.
There are two versions of the US997. One is the US Cellular version, the bootloader can not be unlocked. The other is a non US Cellular version that can be unlocked. You need to go to the LG developer website and submit your IMEI and they will email you a file that can be used to unlock the bootloader. If you have a US Cellular version, they will reply that your phone is not unlockable.

I am aware that there are the 2 versions. What I have is not the US Cellular version of the phone. It is a demo or test model of the US997 unlocked phone. However, I can't unlock the bootloader and it doesn't look like it is capable of receiving OTA updates.

US997 is also the model number of the U.S. Cellular phone. Both the open market US997 and U.S. Cellular US997 are identical in every respect, EXCEPT the U.S. Cellular is not eligible for bootloader unlock.
You have a demo or test model US997 which was NEVER sold at retail by authorized 3rd party retailer like B&H Photo. Thus, it's not eligible for bootloader unlock. The ones that are eligible would not come up TEST_GPIN and their IMEI numbers would in the LG Developer bootloader unlock database.
So I have a US997 that has it's bootloader unlocked and while the current available custom ROMs are great, they aren't very stable for me and some features don't work like they should. LG hasn't officially released Pie for the American model yet (hopefully yet isn't never) so I attempted and succeeded in converting my US997 into a Canadian H873. Though unfortunately, I lost my unlocked bootloader. I then went back to official US997 software and the bootloader was unlocked once again.
Is it possible to use say H873 firmware on a US997 while keeping the bootloader unlocked for TWRP and Magisk? I tried unlocking it again on H873 firmware but due to the way it was flashed, it wouldn't get detected by my PC in ADB or Fastboot mode, so it may or may not be possible to do so that route.
Thanks
