How can I restore the OEM partiton on this phone?
I downloaded the KDZ from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-k550-20b-stock-kdz-dll-lgup-t3681833 I tried the Refurbish option on the LG UP program and it will not allow me to Refurbish the phone using that image.
Once I have the OEM partitomn restored I think it will allow me to re-lock the bootloader.
I'm having difficulties trying to unlock the bootloader of my LG G6, after I enter all the data on my device (including the device id and the IMEI), this error appears: (look at the attached image)
My model: H870 (7.0) Stock
Your model is the H870 from brazil, only the european H870 and the unlocked version US977 ( I think is that model) can have bootloader unlock. Sorry for you but you cannot root or unlock the bootloader at the time I am writting this post.
In fastboot.it is not possible to flash or do fastboot commands in Fastboot mode. Unknown command. with lgup i refurbish ti 10i nougat ,but the same prob. is there help?
That looks like a problem with your tools installation on Windows. Try removing and reinstalling the Android tools.
So back story, i used lg g6 last year and since there was no root i switched to huawei mate 10 pro and planned on sending g6 to a friend out of country and i was looking again yesterday if there was root but still none and i stumbled upon a thread about converting it to canadian h873 with 20g firmware and then to us997 20c september kdz and was able to boot back and able to connect to att and t mobile, havent tried BL unlock or root as us997 is unlocked model and i am finally happy that this g6 has some use, for anyone interested search in xda and you should find that thread and links for downloads.
Well after converting h871 to us997 using lgup and patched dll i am still not able to start fastboot, PC recognises device in adb and adb commands work fine but when i type adb reboot bootloader it boots to fastboot screen but my PC doesnt recognise it and fastboot device or any other fastboot commands not working but volte an att and wifi calling on t moblle working great, checked them to make and gauranteed to work but still unable to bootloader unlock, does anyone know another method, thanks.
Hi,
I have an LG G6 and I want to put LineageOS on it. The problem is that the custom rom is only available for H870 international version, and not the H872 that I have. LG has an official unlock for the bootloader for the H870 version and I believe one more, but not for the one I have. But of course, I don't need an official unlock thing I can just do it myself, right? But after unlocking, I can't seem to flash any recovery on it because apparently, the 'fastboot' commands have been removed. So no using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' type of command etc. So regarding this, I have three questions:
1) Is it in any way possible to recover the 'fastboot' commands?
2) If not, can I flash a recovery via another method?
3) If I successfully flash a recovery, can I flash the H870 ROM, considering I have a H872?
Thanks for the help!

as far as I know, you can't recover the 'fastboot' commands, but there is a way of rooting your h872 https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518 and no you can't flash an H870 international version on an h872 it will brick your phone
