US997 Model bootloader unlock some supported & some "NOT">>> WHAT GIVES??
So this is some what of an SOS in the form of a discussion..
I recently puchased the LG G6 US997 unlocked version.. At first I wasnt jumping on the root bandwagon immediately due to slow development.
As of lately things are starting to pick up so I gave it a whirl only to find out per the LG development site that my version (US997 "Z" is what LG called it) was not supported.. After multiple attempts and being advised form the LG site that I woul be locked out after 9 try's I bailed after 4..
Has anyone esle ran into this wall? If so whats the "work around"? (IF ANY)
Ive searched google for days and the dedicated thread by @autoprime and unless im missing something I keep coming up empty handed.
Any insight on this matter is extremley appreciated.. Thanks in advance:good:

No use, that version​ (US997z) is not supported!! Only the US global market variant US997 (without the z) is, and the Global Euro variant (H870)... Everyone else can't get root or bootloader unlocked...
Unfortunately, that's how LG rolls.

Didnt know that when i did mine it listed us997 no different variants thanks for the info
The exact thing happened to me. I thought I was buying the US unlocked phone. Nowhere in the software or on the box does it list the phone as US977Z. '
Turns out it's the US Cellular variant of the phone. If you'd like, commit to the bounty thread for this phone. It's our only hope.
Looks like I have the same problem with the US997U. I thought that extra U on the end just meant Unlocked, but that tiny difference is preventing me from unlocking my phone. Lame.

I'm considering getting a G6 from AT&T and I'm curious if there's any chance it'll be unlockable. I haven't had an unlockable bootloader in three phones now and really missing it.
yeah you can count out on that on ATT\ VZW

count out on it = you'll probably never see customs roms or recovery

"count out on it" is a confusing way of saying 'no'. but thanks for the response. this is sadness
It shows that I can unlock my G6 from the developer menu like you do for the Nexus devices. I haven't hit the button yet since we don't have TWRP or Root.

But if you run
Fastboot oem unlock
It won't work, most likely. All phones have that option

Would be worth a shot. I have the option on my S7A but I don't have proper fast boot because Samsung <.<
IF it does get unlocked and rooted ill buy another.
Not sure why so negative. The LG v20 is currently being supported by team lineage along with older g5 g4 g3 g2 and older LG tablet. For the price the G6 is going for right now on at&t half off this month only I'm certain this is the best time to get in on new technology that's currently missing from my G3
The zero development for this device is why I'll be going back to HTC with the U 11.
the 870 bootloader was just unlocked by LG.... hopefully they follow history and unlock the US version next (870 is European I believe)

Let me know. LG-H871
I wish my h871 unlocked
Hey,
I got the LG G6 H870DS version, i didn't know it has a locked bootloader
Is there any way to override the issue and install a custom rom or am i doomed with the stock rom?
You're doomed I'm afraid. The chance LG will make you able to unlock it in the future is slim to none.
is the h870ds with locked bootloader rootable with kingroot?
I have the european model with unlocked bootloader, but I prefer the dual sim model, I offer straight swap to anyone interested

That's possibly a way
Didn't try it myself

Complete BS.
That video is essentially an ad for his YouTube channel then descriptions for a generic unlocker. He even says in the video this tool is only good if your phone is rootable. Don't waste your time.

LOL no disrespect to bgumble though !! Thanks for posting this !
Hello, I got LG G6. and due to the lack of updates, I want to unlock the Bootloader and Flash a ROM on the device.
I Got the H870 Model, is all the H870 models are unlockable?
How can I know the exact model of the phone (I saw there is H870DS or something like that too)?
Thanks in advance!

If your phone is H870 EU/UK then it is unlockable through LG official.

Thats why I'm asking.
Hi,im using a couple phone,ip8 and an LG G4 LS991,i love lg but things that i hate is this g4 is the bootloader cant be unlock coz my device antirollback was v4 and i cant root or modifying the phone.
Looking for a month but many thread say the v4 cant be bootloader unlocked.
So...
I want buy a brand new LG V20 or a Refurbish one,but thing that i want to know,is there a version of the V20 that the bootloader cant be unlock and have a antirollback version like the LG G4 LS991???
Please answer me,your ans very helpful,after solved ill delete the thread.
Huge Thanks.
Whatever you do, don't EVER buy a phone from Sprint. You really should stay away from ALL carriers, but if you must buy a carrier branded phone -- T-Mobile is the only choice.
For now, the LS997 (Sprint V20) is the only model that can't be rooted.

If you read and follow the instructions in the thread I believe it tells you to downgrade to 10p and gives you a link to the file

You don't. Thank Sprint for making the LS997 the most locked down variant and unrootable past the very old version ZV7 with a negligible chance of ever becoming rootable again.
For all the other v20 variants, which are still rootable, there are several guides for different variants, just search xda for the thread for your variant.

It's probably legit but the key is in the first step, you have to unlock the bootloader. Currently there is no way to do that therefore it's a no go.

No, their guide on unlocking the bootloader is wrong and won't work on any v20. It's a joke, they took the generic steps and assumed they worked.
