Can branded versions of the LG G6 H870 from European countries (specifically Italy) be bootloader unlocked?
Specifically Vodafone Italy (VDI), but if somebody have a more helpful list or something that would be great.
I could only find an old references and it's only regarding the G4 (post from almost 2 years ago) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63938998&postcount=287
Any information would be useful. Thanks!

Just to clarify, bootloader unlocked (not carrier unlocked), yes?
Thanks for the very quick reply!

LG have today released the bootloader unlock for the European G5SE (H840), as seen on their bootloader unlocking site, which I cannot post due to post restrictions.
Finally, G5SE owners can get much desired (or deserved?) root!

You guys can only unlock your bootloader's currently, no TWRP yet and therefore no root or custom roms. Here's the bootloader site:
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Once you have done that you will have an unlocked bootloader but will just have to wait for someone to build TWRP for your device. Once that's done then you can flash SuperSU or magisk from TWRP to root. Also once that's done, you might get custom ROM support (you will have to ask @King_lilrowrow if he can add support for the h840 se to lineageos).
Wow! good news! it's amazing how much time it took LG to release it.
Now let's hope they will unlock G5 H820's bootloader.
Great news. Now waiting for TWRP for H840!!

Not every version of the 840 will be unlockable or unlockable right away. The h850 is also supported but yet only the EU open version, other h850 can't unlock. It is up to LG to add which versions they want to allow to unlock. If it doesn't work saying it's not supported or not allowed, try again later or contact LG and pray they add unlocking support for that specific version, although I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Also, I'm assuming TIM is your carrier, if so and it's a carrier version instead of unlocked h840 se, it most likely won't be unlocked. Again, try and give it time and try again and hopefully you have luck.

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 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.

No, you can't.
Even if you could do that it wouldn't allow you to unlock the bootloader, it's not the firmware, but the id and imei that identifies the device.
@KiLLau96 i dont know how you have the tolerance to answer question about DS G6's every second day. I get frustrated repeatedly reading the same question that have been answered a million times. PS I'm a DS owner.

Hello. Has a bootloader unlocked on the model h870 region DEC?
Try it, if it works great if not then you got your answer.

Yes it has, mine is H870 DEC and I have unlocked the bootloader and root.
If it's H870 then yes, no matter which region it is. Other variants like H870S/DS are unlockable.

That's not true at all, sudamerican models are H870 also and don't have unlockeable bootloader. Only carrierfree H870 model and US carrier free model can be unlocked.
