Well... I got weak... I unlocked the bootloader yesterday (The Wifi-bug was killing me).

Double post... Please delete.
[G4 General] xrad:
Here is what I found out about the download mode. I still think the old Send_Command.exe method could be revived for the Android M update of the G4.

The sad news for this community is that I have officially given up: this week I bought an EUR variant and I will sell of my H815 TWN. (Anyone interested? :p) I will always be playing cat and mice with having or not having a jailbreak. I don't want to bear with that.

So again, sorry folks. I have tried my best, but LG has won this battle.

BTW unlocking on the official site went really fast, the private signing key is probably sitting somewhere in LGs DMZ. Just saying.
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
thank for to have tried ! ;)

In the life ,one of the most important thing is to "try" ( to act ! ) ;)

more i read threads ,articles.......on the net ,more i realize that this battle is definitively "lost" .......

unofficialy no bootloader unlocked ,no MM rooted ..... never .

But for the future of LG (with G5 ......and other releases ) with this MM and if LG don't want to give an unlock method ,it will be the end of story .... but if they think : "more unlocked devices ,less warranty honored for our devices" there are a hope ...

Wouldn't be easier if LG would charge something like 20$ to unlock? :)
[G4 General] BrettB0727:
Not able to edit the sheet, but I have decided to decline my $20 until either LG(or someone else) fixes my boot loop and adding an expiration of June 1.
[G4 General] xrad:
Using DL mode (device off -> press and hold volume up while(!) connecting to PC) and LGUP you should be able to push any KDZ on your device and get out of the boot loop.
[G4 General] NIGH7MARE:
I'm on the same boat but i have the H815P. I'm done with the G4. Loved the phone, but hated LG! Samsung, Motorola, HTC... But never again LG.

Unlock will not happen anytime soon.

Even if it does, it will be to late and will be moving on to a new device in 6 month, i know its long time , but that unlock still not gonna happen.

Marshmallow will make it even harder to unlock or root.

Thanks

Yup I think I'm going back to Samsung after this fiasco! I lost my S6 and really should have bought another but thought I'd give LG a go. Never again!!! It's a shame bcoz it's a great phone but if I can't do anything I want to something "I own" then thanks LG but no thanks.....
[G4 General] Diatomix98:
I guess I'm going back to Sony as well. I mean, I love this phone and it's almost perfectly perfect if this stupid idea is not implemented by LG. My first LG device, I was actually very impressed by this device until I found the bootloader being unable to unlock. I even sent an email to LG yesterday asking if it will be possible to unlock it in the future and their reply is:"We regret to inform that blablablabla". Really very disappointed.
[G4 General] ferdroyd:
I gave up on this too. I gave my phone to my wife and switch back to my Xperia Z2. Will never buy an LG device unless it's a Nexus device. I have an LG Nexus 5 and was able to unlock its boot loader easily years back. I thought it would be the same for LG G4, in terms of unlocking its boot loader, oh was I so wrong...
[G4 General] aoprea:
Me too i gave up on this too. Will never buy an LG device unless it's a Nexus device.
[G4 General] lambstone:
So much for my excellent experience with the G3. Why did the G4 turn out to be like this.
[G4 General] Diatomix98:
The Z2 and Nexus 5 are still good devices, stick to them.;)

Between I just sold my G4 and ordered a V10 lol...
[G4 General] ferdroyd:
Can you unlock the boot loader of v10 for your region and install custom recovery?

For us in Singapore, LG replied to me that they don't support unlocking for unlocking G4.
[G4 General] maildaemon:
LG Bulgaria - They don't care that there is a problem with manufacturing, they stated that there is no official info for such a thing. They don't care about those EU regulations - exact words - If you unlocked bootloader/rooted your device you don't have warranty anymore, it doesn't matter what you read online (about the G4 problems, about the EU laws and regulations). If you want to - sue us, we will not help you in any case.

Those were the exact words and the guy was the LG manager for mobile in the country... Never ever have I witnessed such a bad customer care and attitude towards a client :(

[G4 General] QuickNET Tech:
I just put up $10. Is there any information on whether or not any individual or group has taken interest in the bounty and started to work on an unlock?
[G4 General] Furma:
development seems to be dead

people were hopeful LG V10 release would help unlocking of G4 bootloader - but it didnt happen

and now LG G5 is official - I think developers have already moved on to other devices

its just too difficult to unlock the bootloader..and LG said they won't do it themselves (only for EU815 models)
[G4 General] QuickNET Tech:
Thanks. That's what I thought. Too bad. I bought a flagship hoping for flagship level development. Oh well. I am not really liking what I see in the G5 and might go to a different oem, but I don't know who. I would have moved to using nexus phones a long time ago if google would stop being hateful towards sd cards. I feel as if I have no good options this year.
[G4 General] Kemby13:
Hmm, S7 maybe :confused:

Just sayin...
[G4 General] strifexx:
I'm pretty disappointed and disenchanted as well. You have no idea what I went through to get my G4 as I'm with Bell Canada and when I was up for a new phone on my contract they didn't have a single decent phone in their "Light" category.

My package is a very old one that no longer exists and the features are way beyond the Light pkg or even Premium now offeted so to screw me they designated it a light package without even telling me.

When it came time for an upgrade I realized what had happened and flipped. Anyway I spent hours on the phone after many emails fighting for a decent phone without having to be out of pocket and settled on the G4 as I was coming from an Optimus G and was quite happ with that.

When I discovered there was not going to be any custom ROMS because of the bootloader issue I was as upset as everyone else and disappointed with my choice.

LG will lose yet another customer when it is time to get a new phone again and over what, as I still have not seen even one reasonable explanation as to why the bootloader won't be unlocked.

Bad move LG, bad move.
[G4 General] milan187:
I would be happy enough with a root on H812 right now. Just added $30 for bootloader unlock.
[G4 General] AmonX:
I added $20 to it. I also noticed someone wrote $10,000.

If no one is actively working on this and no one is interested in this bounty what about offering it to LG in return for having all bootloaders unlocked? I know it is just pennies to them but hey money talks and might give them incentive to finally do so? Please do not take that the wrong way I am just trying to think of alternatives that will produce the desired result.
[G4 General] milan187:
If we all contact LG it may also help. I mean they want to sell phones and make people happy. Just make damn tool for us that want to do it.
[G4 General] LaughingCarrot:
What I'm not understanding is how some American carriers like Sprint and T-Mobile allow unlocked bootloaders, but only T-Mobile has an unlocked variant. I'm thinking LG is more to blame here than carriers.

I have registered and downloaded from LG what I need to unlock, but have not used it (maybe I will when I'm out of warranty or it'll be a plus when I sell the phone).

According to you I already lost warranty because my IMEI was registered? Don't think so.

You lose warranty when you unlock, not when your IMEI is registered.

Maybe some people don't even have the phone nowadays but the man has struggled a lot to bring unlocking to G4.

He still keeeps working and maintaining TWRP for our phones, so donating to him is just a matter of doing the right thing and compensate he and his family for the hours he lost in this task.

[G4 General] vercetti:
Like the idea.

One question: why do people with the European version (H815) write this info (H815) in the spreadsheet? The H815 can already be unlocked officially. An unofficial unlock method will not unlock it even further, is it unlockable already.

If it's just so that the EU model will profit from future rom development -in case the bootloader of the other models finally does get unlocked- then why enter the info "H815"?

You guys know what i mean?

greetz,

v.
[G4 General] rav101:
There are people who won't use the official unlock as it will void warranty. Instead they are hoping for an undetectable bootloader unlock that is reversible if needs be for warranty purposes...
[G4 General] vercetti:
got it, thanx rav101.

the biggest advantage though for the H815 (or any other LG G4 version) would of course be rom development.

the EU version is unlockable but look at how few roms are available. hardly any.

this would accelerate development.

[G4 General] patalao:
This is a good thing to do but what's the point of open source!?

LG just made a stupid thing by doing this to this phone(and possible for future releases).

LG is the culprit and people who like an "open" phone should think twice when buying next phone.

Most devs do development just for the fun of it or because they like it.

This is an incentive but the purpose of open development an open sources just doesn't make sense if we give money for it.

What happens if LG or other manufacturers on the next flagship makes the same thing?

Will we always be doing this kind of incentive to unlock a phone that for starts should never be so closed.

Just a thought from me...

I don't disapprove this kind of thing but I think this is not the way to go.

The best thing is to, don't buy another phone from the manufacturer.

I have an G4 with just 2 weeks and already without warranty because of bootloader unlocked.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Open source doesn't mean free. You can buy open source software (someone has to do it/free time or paid) mostly the support is sold on open source software.

I get what you mean and am partly aligned to it, but this is more an incentive for a dev to buy the phone (which he wouldn't have bought if the reward didn't exist) and try it's best for the reward.
[G4 General] ABotelho23:
Open source doesn't mean money can't be given.

Opens source is good for more than just the fact that it *often* doesn't have to cost you anything.
