Hello Everyone...
Please let me begin by saying thank you to you all on XDA what an amazing resource for one another and especially idiot novice like myself...lol...also I am sorry if I am going about this question incorrectly, I am not sure of the decorum. I have tried and failed very badly in the past to unlock and root several models including my lasy V10 H901 (now useless as a result) and now I have a LG V20 H910 from AT&T...I desperately need to unlock the phone so that I can use it with another carrier while I am at home in Canada for the next month on family business...I have LGUP and simply need idiot proof directions and the downloads...can anyone help PLEASE...Thanks in advance for your time and consideration...

Carrier unlocking your device is fairly easy. You can submit a request on AT&T's website (att.com/deviceunlock) - and you should receive a unlock code you type into the dialer. (At least that's how I remember I did it last time I did a carrier unlock on my device)
Note this is not the same thing as rooting/bootloader unlocking. Carrier unlocking simply lets you use your device on other carrier's networks.
Hi i am having lg g6 h870ds(Indian varient) and i want to unlock bootloader to install custom roms and fully enjoy the hard work of XDA developers. I've tried to unlock it but the lg developers site doesn't give the unlock file to Indian varient. So how could I unlock the bootloader
Thank you in advance

Unfortunately you cannot unlock the bootloader of your phone, I'm sorry.
Only unbranded US997 and European H870 can

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.
Research people
Is it possible to flash another firmware, let's say of the European model H870 and get it working or at least be able to rollback to the original firmware if it doesn't?
EDIT:Tried and I successfully flashed the H870 rom on my H870DS, although it's not anywhere close to usable. I was able to go back to my original rom without any problems whatsoever (using uppercut + lg up). Anyway my aim was to try and unlock the bootloader through this method. It seems that it only works on Oreo for the V30, hopefully will work on an Oreo unlocked rom for the G6. I'll try as soon as a KDZ is available.
Only DS Firmwares, if you really have DS. The DS was not officially released in Europe, so you dont get an european customised Version.
Use Uppercut and LGUP and download a firmware from lg-firmwares.com . This topic was communicated alot in this Forum, just use the "Search" Function.

I have the H870DS, someone recently unlocked the bootloader on a V30 by crossflashing to a rom of an unlocked V30, which bricked the phone but he was able to flash an unlock.bin file through fastboot commands which he created just by typing some 1's on a txt file and saving it as bin. The whole affair is a bit bat**** but other people succeeded with the method.
So that's why I asked, I want to flash the rom of an unlocked G6 and try the same thing.

You're very much on your own with that! Don't just assume because someone else has managed to somehow cross port/flash something... That it automatically means you can try something similar! If you brick your phone... You're on your own!..

Yeah I know it's very possible I will brick my phone. The whole process is a bit farfetched but still I want to try if it means I can unlock it.

I'd encourage someone who doesn't know what he/she is doing to ask for help, but that's me.
Thanks anyway.
Once we get an unlocked kdz we will have what we need to test. At this point we need a T mobile oreo kdz or an unlocked.
someoone can help me with this devide id unmatched on lg developer site.
it keeps telling me unmatched and lg doent reply my email... ineed the unlock bin so much..:crying::crying::crying:
Your question doesn't include enough details.

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.

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.
Without AT&T's help?
No, you can contact AT&T, https://www.att.com/deviceunlock
Yes you can. I've done it with a site called unlockplus.
Here you go. Flash one of these KDZ to carrier unlock the phone. You want the ones that say "open" -- which means they are not locked to a carrier.

Top link is for North America Google Fi variant.
Bottom link is for Central/South America -- but if you use that, you do NOT want Claro. You want the other one (carrier unlocked) MIA.
Yeah, flashing an unlocked firmware won't unlock this device. Why in the world would you post something ridiculous like this? How can you have 8185 posts and not know what unlocking means? smh

So your saying that wont work.. I was just about to figure out how to flash it. Good thing i didnt or i would have more than likely bricked it.

Just so you know, you're replying to a guy who (besides other feats) made it possible for anyone to carrier unlock virtually any LG V30 model no matter what carrier it was on previously. And that was made exactly by crossflashing. So yeah, I would kinda listen to him.

Because that's EXACTLY how we carrier unlock the LG V30/V30+. We flash carrier unlocked firmware over carrier locked firmware -- specifically AT&T and Sprint variants. The principle should be the same with the AT&T LG V35.
Besides the two carrier locked North American LG V30 phones (AT&T & Sprint), some of the European LG V30 are also carrier locked. Cross flashing the region appropriate "open market" firmware carrier unlocks them.
I haven't done it on LG V35, but I've done it many, many times on the predecessor LG V30/V30+.
We flash V30 firmware and forth at will to carrier unlock the phones, get fastboot flash commands, bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root. The simplest of all these goals is carrier unlock.

He says it won't work. Whereas I've carrier unlocked several LG V30/V30+ doing EXACTLY that. And so have hundreds of other people. I've written a couple of guides on the subject.
While I've not done it on LG V35, I suggested this method because it seems reasonable and logical based on the immediate V30 predecessor.
Something similar (cross flashing) also worked on the LG V20. However, in both cases we had Dev Patched LGUP to use. IF it doesn't work for the LG V35, that would be why -- because perhaps the appropriate .dll has not been used to create LG V35 dev patched LGUP.
I can't guarantee it will work on LG V35, the way I can guarantee it does for the LG V30.

You can flash it and it will boot (not dead, frozen or stuck in Qualcomm 9008 mode like when you normally flash mismatched firmware, picks up signal fine)
Yes I am aware of how to unlock G6, V30 and G7 by flashing a different firmware and I have unlocked several HUNDRED of them. Even LS998 on V22B firmware.
This will flash successfully (I use Octopus tool, the newest LGUP tool is not released so can't do it that way) but it will still show the V350AWM model and will still be locked to AT&T. Only it will remove the AT&T bloatware.
It is a good solution to flash these if you brick your device. But it won't unlock them.

1) Well debloating V35 is at least one advantage others will like, even if it won't carrier unlock it -- and this answer is much better than your first attempt. Can you also now access the bootloader on the V35 and do fastboot flash commands work when, once you flash the open market KDZ? Cross flashing carrier locked North America V30/V30+ to open market US998 allows this, besides carrier unlocking them.
2) If you are aware of how to to carrier unlock AT&T H931 V30 and Sprint LS998 V30/V30+ by flashing different firmware -- like to the US998 V30 open market KDZ -- as well as other LG phone series (G6/G7) using the same technique, and you say you have carrier unlocked "several hundred" by using that technique (with Octopus box, it seems), then your previous insulting post looks like it was written by someone totally ignorant of this Frankenstein process which we use every day to carrier unlock phones like this...

I have pulled the RSA certs from every model V35, G7, and V40 that are currently available, and LG learned their lesson from the WTF V30 exploit .. they use different certs for every model.
If you have cross flashed the V35, or G7 .. you are only flashing boot and system. If you had flashed an RSA signed partition, you would have had a brick.
I will be glad to post the certs if you like.
-- Brian
Oh sorry I didn't mean it to be insulting at all but flashing these files will not unlock it.
I'm new on this forum. Sorry for being disrespectful.. Everyone is very thankful to you Only WTF? Why would you suggest to flash something if you never tried it before?
To flash I did flash these firmwares but I used Octopus box (super highly recommended)
Lets do something constructive here though. If you have signed cert files let me test it. I have a couple AT&T V350AWM, we can brick them, it is OK. I'll load anything and post results here.
Again sorry about insulting retort but a forum like this should have only 100% clean reliable info.
Hello everyone,
I just bought a LGV35 form eBay for a few bucks but has bad imei is there any chance that I can unlock the phone? I want to use it outside USA, any idea or can somebody help me?

Interesting, since the G7 and even V35 was released before V30 WTF was discovered (mid-May 2018). @TxanMoe started the WTF thread with his "crazy" story May 14 -- and you helped him unbrick his phone soon after that. I wrote the WTF instructions on May 21.
Well, V35 was released beginning of June 2018, but it was already in the pipeline by May 2018.
The RSA stuff for every variant is probably more an extension of what LG started with T-Mobile H932...
Very sad.

Well, let me clarify. I have only been able to check models that have a KDZ that I can pull the certs from. Any model that either never has KDZ (AT&T or Sprint), or if a KDZ isn't publicly available yet .. I haven't been able to check since I can't get anyone to dump abl.
I will try to post a list of the ones I have checked when the holidays are over.

How did you go about unlocking it? Did you buy it from ATT without a contract.. Did you use an unlocking service or from att directly for unlock?

If you put an AT&T MVNO sim in it, it should update. When I put a Red Pocket Mobile (MVNO) sim in my v35 along with wifi working, it updated the software to version V350AWM10w even though the phone was not yet activated on the red pocket network. If you can find a pre-paid AT&T sim, it should also work, but I'm guessing there.
(note, my v35 is locked to AT&T, I wonder if your phone being unlocked might have some other 'thing' that might be stopping it from updating)
