Hi guys, I have a LG G6 H870i (Brazilian version, but no carrier), and I've done everything to officially unlock the bootloader, but when I try to do that method on the LG website, it always says that the my device version is not available to receive bootloader unlock key.
My goal in unlocking the bootloader is to install root (I couldn't without unlocking despite having tried in several ways, including kingoroot) and also custom recovery TWRP (or any other), so that with them I can reach my purpose of installing a Custom Rom such as Lineage OS.
So, is there any way to unlock bootloader other than through LG's website?
If not, is there any way to install root even with the bootloader locked?
And finally, if none of these procedures are possible, is there any way to install twrp or any other custom recovery without needing either an unlocked bootloader or root?
Thank you for your attention.

If i were to get a LG v20, which version should i buy if i am concerned with rooting, bootloader unlocking, and roms and such?
The at&t variant is the one that can be rooted on all the software versions the company has released thus far. This might change though in any future updates the company releases. The rest can also be rooted, but only up to certain software versions (mostly those released prior to mid-2017, for the T-Mobile variant, updating to H91810P and beyond means you can't root, yet).
The factory unlocked US996 (not to be confused with the us cellular us996) is the only one that LG provides an official means to unlock the bootloader which is a key part of rooting and installing custom ROMs. The others must rollback to an old version (which isn't possible on recent Sprint and T-Mobile firmware but the framework is there for any carrier to stop it) to root/install a custom ROM. Besides that both x86cpu (main maintainer of LineageOS for the V20) and myself ( I fell into maintaining TWRP for the V20) have the US996.
I recently bought a used H910 AT&T from ebay running 10m
Had to downgrade to unlock bootloader and install TWRP but working like a charm...
is the us996 model the same one as the t-mobile version? is there a way to tell which us996 is which?
Hi, sorry for asking this if it sounds dumb but i am not good in rooting and custom rom stuff i just use stock rom. Recently I also bought h910 and it has some issues regarding the os. How to know that i need to downgrade the android to unlock boot loader for installation of twrp? Can you help me?
I am also having this issue which i posted in xda, may be you are aware of it.

As far as i check and know there is only one us996 model and that's the us cellular variant
@runningnak3d has recently developed a method to root T-Mobile H918. (main thread here)
Several members have reported successfull root, and it appears the method is successful on many other V20 models (even other LG phones) as well.
Hi, I'm currently using the Korea version of the LG G6, LGM-G600L and after a quick browse, I can see that I can unlock my phone bootloader and install TWRP, the last thing concern me is the lack of custom ROM for LGM-G600L, and I wonder if I can flash customer ROM for EU or US version without any problems? Has anyone tried it?

Koren model of the G6 can't be unlocked, only H870 european version and US977 unlocked version. But root is possible in H872, H870 and US977. If you flash another version ROM you can brick your device or may work but with some errors, it is recommended to not do it.

I can see the switch allow OEM unlock in the developer options, inn't that is the option to allow for unlock bootloader?
But it's sad to know that I can't flash custom ROM, guest I should investigate further before buying new phone.
Thanks for the info.

You can have the option in the developer settings, but if the official LG website doesn't provide the unlock.bin file for your model (it's the case) you can't unlock the bootloader.

How to i install twrp and lgm-g600l
Hi, I have an LG 870ar.
I need to unlock the bootloader in order to root it.
I was reading from the lg page that only supports the 870 European version.
Does this version have any chance of unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks!
Not for now, but maybe in 1 or 2 months. Follow the progress on telegram, search for lg g6 bootloader exploit.
Since we got unlocked bootloaders on several models that was not available before,are there any developers kind enough to test twrp ports and root methods and soon for h870s( dual sim) and other models that got bootloader unlocked.
Yeah, it would be nice since LG Dev team is unlocking our bootloader on demand via mail. I don know what to do now, how (and can i) install twrp and root my phone. Is it the same process like on H870 EU?

Well we need new files probably,like twrp and so on.
