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.

Thanks.
Is there a way to tell the exact model?
System - phone info - hardware info....... If you are able to read, or give us a screen shot..

Yeah, I can read , Thanks, I just remember seeing H870DS on the box (Which I threw) and the phone just says H870.
Thats why I'm asking.

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

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 can't seem to find the info, has the Canadian G6 been unlocked? Also are the US roms compatible with the H873? I'm considering getting one but want to be able to run custom roms.
Thanks!

Very much. Actually it seems someone is working on it in the bounty thread for H870DS
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.
can the LG G6 be rooted and if it can how?
Yes and no. Try looking around this forum at least a LITTLE before you ask for help. There are plenty of guides.

It means some can and some can't. Go read the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/official-lg-g6-bootloader-unlock-t3614719
This tells you everything you need to know. If you still can't figure it out after that, you're probably better off not rooting.
LG G6 variants H870+US997 can have bootloader unlocked and be rooted with general ease.

Not completely correct. It depends where your US997 comes from. US Cellular US997 devices can't currently be unlocked.
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
