Unllock bootloader without LG official tools? - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hi, I own a LG G6 (H870) and would like to flash /e/OS on it but the bootloader is locked and LG stopped supporting their unlocking bootloader site in december 2021 so I wondered if someone here knows how to bypass their unlocking bootloader system...
I know some people managed to unlock G8's bootloader (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/) but I didn't find anything for the G6
Thank you in advance

I would like to know too. missed the deadlline. It would be so beautiful to flash a debloated ROM after replacing the battery to a brand new, repairing the fingerprint sensor and applying new protective glass. To breathe new life into my phone

The same !
I bought a g6 one month ago coz i loved my last one.
Now I just dream for an unlock solution

Any chance to flash unlocked LG G6 H872 with H870 firmware?

Hi everyone. I've got a fully unlocked T-Mobile LG G6 H872 and struggling to find a way to remove T-Mobile boot / splash screen and bloatware. Is there any possibility to do it without any risk? I'm thinking about flashing 10T firmware for H870 but afraid of bricking the phone. I see no hardware differences between these two devices. Thanks in advance.
If you flash the H870 firmware you will brick your phone. Try using adb comands to remove bloadware. Search one post in xda that explain the procedure and it is 100% working.
LG Package Disabler will let you disable any app, including TMO and other crap that does not allow you to Disable in the App section.

1) How did you get your G6 (H872) fully unlocked (PLEASE SHARE)?
2) Can you download your stock ROM and post it here so the devs can work on the ROOT and/or the vanilla ROM version? Thank you!!

[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

Update on root lg g6

Hello everyone.I am only asking the progress (if any)on unlocking g6 bootloader on all variants because I havnt seen any discussion on this topic for a few monthes now. I own canadian H873. Have all developers just givin up or what?

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

Make DirtySanta unofficial unlock work on LG G5

Hi!
Since LG shut down their services to officially unlock boot in December 2021, we have to deal otherwise.
In the past DirtySanta was able to unlock LG V20 H990 independently. We need to expand this method for ours LG G5, including H850 and others. These phones are similiar and comes from the same period, it might be possible.
[ROOT] DirtySanta comes for the H990
Took a while to work things out, but DirtySanta has been successfully extended to international versions of the LGE V20. While I have tried to ensure this works for anyone, this may fail. I also do not provide any warranty! The result of a...

For now this seems as the best option.
It seams it was already adapted to branded versions of LG G5, can it be used on rest of them?

Good to know someone did it !
I'm stuck with locked bootloader and from my searches, LG does not want to deal with only a few people asking stuff about a 5 years old devices.
Keep me informed if there's some news !
I like this idea and would really appreciate bootloader unlock for H850 international models
I would love that as well, I'm trying to get a G5 H850 refurbished. It makes me reallly angry at LG, because without custom ROMs this phone is just landfill material.
Please kind developers,, help us save this phone from the trash!
