AFAIK the H873 doesn't have a bootloader unlock or root, I believe only the US997 and H870 have unlocked bootloaders (maybe H872 has an unofficial bootloader unlock, I know there are ROMs for the H872), and I believe the H872, US997, and H870 are the only ones with root.... sorry

Yes but my question is anyone actually working on a solution or this a dead subject now?

There were some talks of devs trying to use the same method as the V30 root to other devices, I remember reading someone mentioned around September once everyone has oreo .. but I don't know what happened to the thread... I figured it wasn't a feasible method

V20 H990 Single SIM
CAN be Rooted in near future
H990DS Dual SIM
Im not sure in near future
The V10 dual sim (H962) did get root, but to my knowledge, the bootloader never got unlocked. It'll probably be the same situation for the V20.

Seems like not root for us.
The thread does not include the h990.
Bummer.....

Take a look at the message right above, on that thread notice this message.
The more interesting question at this point is bootloader unlock. Given how generalized the Dirty Santa technique is, I'm pretty sure unlocking the H990DS bootloader is merely a matter of a little bit of time.
The lack of a bootloader unlock for the H990 so far is the reason I haven't got one.
The US996 is missing three bands that are used where I live (band 1, 28 and 40). But if the bands can be unlocked I'd consider getting one.

H990TR ?
Kardeş uzun süredir takip ediyorum bir hareket göremedim TR yi gören cevap vermiyor zaten @ahmetoguz8
Guess it is past time to add a mention on this thread (in case anyone subscribed and didn't notice other threads). Took a while, but root is available for the H990. The major limitation is it requires a publicly known KDZ which is old enough to allow DirtyCOW to inject the unlocked bootloader. H990DS and H990N have been shown to work, though the root isn't 100% stable (there are miscellaneous reports of difficulties and the procedure is complex). This includes bootloader unlock, so you can do pretty much anything you want.
The oldest H990TR KDZ is January 10, which is a few weeks too late. Someone might try it, but I'd give poor odds of success. I'd give good odds if a 10a-10d was known, but no one has pointed towards one.

Yes. The method is quite complex, but does work. There are a few reports of camera difficulty, but most people appear not to have any problems other than the instructions being complex.

I have successfully rooted and everything works except voLTE. So i am trying to flash another Indian firmware via LGUP. So do i need to follow the "Going back to stock:" instruction from the rooting thread ? Or should just flash the firmware via LGUP ?
Copying my question from the n00b thread.
Hi Guys,
I recently got a H990 DS and I'm loving it. I was wondering if root is possible for it? The Android patch level states June 1, 2017 and the build is NRD90M.
Thanks!

And funny enough, you look at the source of the information and an answer is readily available. That build can't be dealt with, but for most H990 devices earlier KDZ files are available, so downgrading the image allows the root process to proceed. Afterwords getting back to a current image isn't yet a science, but is doable.

TWRP Thread locked?

Does anyone know why the TWRP thread has been locked? I was trying to find out if the lg g6 H870 Dual Sim version was capable of being Rooted.

H870DS? Nope, no root for this model. Only for the European H870.
Regarding the TWRP thread maybe the dev asked to mods to close it as some users had problems, who knows...

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.

[LG G6] Trying to unlock the bootloader unofficialy

Sup guys,
Think it is my first post related to the LG G6. I have worked on LG L7II and LG G4 before.
Just having a little time on my hands. I have an LG H870DS and as you know LG does not support unlock.
I would like someone to provide me the following if you can (from an international H870).
DO NOT POST THE INFO HERE SINCE I WILL ASK DEVICE SPECIFIC NUMBERS.
This request is for someone that wants to unlock via LG Dev but did not unlock yet.
Please provide me with the following:
Copy with LGUP patched version of partitions (BEFORE UNLOCKING):
1. /cust
2./persistent
3./drm
IMEI, DEVICE ID from fastboot, unlock.bin
Copy with LGUP patched version of partitions (AFTER UNLOCKING):
1. /cust
2./persistent
3./drm
Ty.
ND
Also, just unlock.bin device-id and imei will help even if you are already unlocked.

@neutrondev i can give you the unlock bin of a h870
Hi @runningnak3d looks like you will have another friend here who will help on unlocking the bootloader. :good:
@neutrondev, are you still working on this? I can give you mine if you are.
Glad to throw in on this. I've got the h870 that I can't unlock and I'm pissed off about it.
Why doesn't it work to make a new bootloader, one that doesn't check for verification?
can someone send me these files?
Guys, any update? I am waiting for LG reply to my request to unlock my chilean H870 bootloader, but I don't really think they will do it.

I recently bought a G6 and just read about the inability to unlock the bootloader. So I am a newcomer to G6 affairs. Forgive me if fasting doesn't help. I found an interesting thread for another device. Perhaps, however, it will be an inspiration for someone.

In theory, something using the Qualcomm EDL mode is possible, but the files needed to do so are not available yet.

I dont understand your request clearly. You wrote that this request is for somebody who did not unlock his phone yet. But who did not unlock it he most probably dont have the unlock bin. (I cant imagine somebody got the unlock bin and left his phone locked).
So you need cooperation with members who got their phone unlocked and can provide you with the required data or you need somebody who can experiment with his phone?
By the way i have an LG G6 still locked.

Why can't you?
After LG ended support now it is clear that it was worth it.
For half a year I have been looking for an unlocked G6 on local exchanges, ready to pay a little more than for a locked one.

there was a misunderstanding in interpretation, i meant that if once i have the unlock files i dont keep my phone locked but start immediately unlocking and benefitting from it.
But i was confused because i saw a new post and i thought the thread is new then i got disappointed when i saw it was written in 2018
I am loosing hope, assuming about the activity here i dont think anybody is goind to develop a bootloader unlocking code, i have to use to live with it

Give Life To Our LG G5 (F700L,K,S)

I'm working on an LG G5 F700L and modifying it to H850, and it was successfully done by changing the partition on UFS without changing bottom module, and secondly by replacing the bottom module with the H850, this was done to test if there was any behavior change in the bootloader, so that the F700L could be unlocked and could get root.
There are a lot of testing that I have to do, so if everything goes well I will create a new thread here.
Hopefully our F700 can live forever getting the bootloader unlocked and root
