[G4 General] :
Did someone have tryed this http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS

Only *H815 (G4) supported for now
[G4 General] lurker316:
What I find interesting is that they've removed the "We will be adding more devices later" line. So much for that hope.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
It only works for Some EU and TMobile ones. That's the whole point of this thread.
[G4 General] :
I have sean some people with EU model on this post ....and the link i think was for them

Have a nice day
[G4 General] WTF?:
here is the list of model variants (country codes) that are known to be unlockable with the factory LG unlock tool (the only one that actually works) - LG G4 models that can be bootloader unlocked
[G4 General] MaXmeOliver:
I want to unlock my bootloader without losing warranty, which is why I've decided not to use the official LG way and instead back this initiative :)
[G4 General] BrunoSlivar:
Point is unlock without void warranty. For some people warranty is nothing for me is everything
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
You think an "unofficial" unlock won't void warranty? Try having your device repaired with an unofficial unlocked bootloader and see what happens ;)
[G4 General] Medizinmann:
Well losing warranty with the official method is for sure and even if someone would find a way to to relock it would not help since your IMEI is registered.

With an unofficial unlock the hope is that one could relock get back to 100% stock before claiming warranty.

...as I did myself with my Nexus tablet before sending it in for warranty repair/exchange.

Greetings

Medizinmann

PS. : Sometimes I miss my unbrickable LG P990 - where you could get back to stock from any state.
[G4 General] patalao:
If some dev unlocks the bootloader for all variants it could mean that we could also lock it again.

So, doing unofficial or official unlocking would be almost the same.

So the relock should work the same way
[G4 General] aniler:
What happend to the bounty, it's dropped to $590?
[G4 General] leogeeko:

[G4 General] daddymikey1975:
Added myself again for $20. Looks like I'm the only one with the Sprint variant lol
[G4 General] armanatz:
Pledging $50 if the H815 TWN model gets a bootloader unlock.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Everythig has been corrected back to how it should be (with the informations I had...) Please verify your pledge is the right amount and if it is still in the document. [MENTION=6738617]danyisill[/MENTION] [MENTION=2623657]ifon[/MENTION]ly please verify the amounts, I am not sure on them.

Thanks again to the prankster. This is why we can't have nice things and this world goes the wrong way.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Can you please add it to the list ?

Do you pose a restriction for your pledge or is it given for any model ?

Thanks !
[G4 General] dfan:
Thanks for the edit - my pledge is so much clearer now!

Thanks everybody who is chipping in!!!
[G4 General] orbital_71:
Singapore phone are not locked we can change telco easily maybe someone can look on it firmware. But i not sure will it help. :)
[G4 General] edmann:
I tick the link and nothing happens. You must realize "they" monitor everything we do and say here.? They've turned AOSP into a cat and mouse game. Had to be said.
[G4 General] snowrelyt:
What are you talking about, exactly?
[G4 General] edmann:
AOSP is free, we, as usual put on prices. It is actually written in the "user agreement" how to use AOSP.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Exactly? You would probably do a better job of answering that.
[G4 General] daniel4653:
I'm still wondering what exactly you're trying to point out. Manufactures should by default load AOSP because its free and part of the user agreement? You have to remember these corps are here to make money. So they can/will lock bootloaders.
[G4 General] Jason123420:
Added $50

Sent from my LG-H812
[G4 General] ChriKn:
I don't understand what you mean. Not the only one apparently.

[G4 General] shigi1231:
I'll pledge $60 if we can get it before christmas! sign me up!
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Only up to Christmas ? Or maybe a lower amount afterwards ?
[G4 General] shigi1231:
yeahh, i mean, i might shelf the device if there won't be a way to unlock the bootloader for the H815 twn, whether it be from LG or the dev community. :P But i still want to donate if ever we'd get it 2016. i pledge 10$ if 2016, but before that, my 60$ is still up!
[G4 General] Pingbo:
something around 10$

Please leave a comment that i will pay 10€ not dollar :)

Sorry that it isn't so much but better than nothing i think
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Done ! Thanks !
[G4 General] elfarto:
Pledging $20 Here H815AR (Argentina)
[G4 General] kangta05:
$20 for LS991 happy hunting
[G4 General] BrettB0727:
$20 for H815 TWN
[G4 General] ChriKn:
And we just reached the 2000$ mark ! In just some days !

Thanks to everyone of you for the pledged amounts :)
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Why can't we do a KickStarter type campaign? Actual money has to change hands and is only accessible once the bootloader is unlocked. If it is never unlocked the money goes to a charity of choice.
[G4 General] shigi1231:
just goes to show how desperate we are for those custom builds ahahha. I mean come on, it would seem LG no longer has any motive in releasing further unlocked bootloader other than the one on H815 eu. I really hope someone is doing or trying to attempt this breakthrough. I mean, 2k $ is darn big.
[G4 General] FSRBIKER:
$ 20 for the H810(AT&T) version
[G4 General] natator99:
$25 USD for Sprint LS991 - pending
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Seems like both of you didn't write it into the file or it was deleted/replaced. (Or you didn't use you logins).

Please update the document with your info, I will secure it.

PS: Who added 50$ without name or info ? I will have to delete it if there isn't an XDA login going with it.
[G4 General] natator99:
Gahh.. Stupid firewall at work silently killing ajax connections to the google doc. Will get it when I get home.
[G4 General] ADEL_:
Pledged $10 for the H818P.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
After correcting another faked entry by the prankster we are back at under 1850$. Still a large portion, but not quite as marking as the 2000$ we had...

Let's fix this :) ! Doubled mine, as it seemed a little light in comparison. And I just really want to be able to use my phone the way I want to...
[G4 General] Chuckleb0ne:
I can't seem to add to the spreadsheet. I'll just leave mine here so maybe someone can put me in.

Chuckleb0ne

$10.00

[G4 General] shigi1231:
Does anyone actually know if there is, at least, a dev attempting this or if LG would release more devices for the unlock? I'm beginning to lose hope :(
[G4 General] Byte_76:
Me too!

Time is passing and this device will be old news soon! (It already is but will be more so within a few months, especially with the G5 already on the horizon)

Hello,

as autoprime wrote last week, team codefire is working daily on the LG G4 and the V10.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63977423

It seems that LG did a pretty good job on securing this. [emoji53] [emoji22]

I would have bought a Nexus but without enough memory built in and no SD-Slot that was/isn't an option.

BTW: 20$ for an unofficial unlock for the H815EU

Thanks for starting this thread. $15
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Done!
[G4 General] boxa72:
Are you f#ckin kidding! You'd still consider giving them another $dollar after this bulls#it. They can jam their G5, I don't care if it's solid 24k gold, they've lost me after this bootloader fiasco and I'll be sure to steer every person I know away from them as well. I'm filthy as u can probably tell lol
[G4 General] patalao:
Same thing here.

If LG is so interested that people loose their warranty by blocking the bootloader so tight, they will loose more buyers for their devices.

I'm also one of them.

Their phones are good, but even so they don't sell very well, and now with this bootloader thing it will be even worse for them from now on.
[G4 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
There are enough threads dedicated to off topic and disenchantment of the BL situation, that this talk need not start in here as well.

It is simple, if you would like to pledge then pledge if not, move on.

Thank you for understanding.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
This time the 2000$ mark seems to have been crossed for real :)

Thanks again to those who posted. Maybe time to do a reddit round again to inform possible devs ?
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Might as well throw 50 bucks into the pot.
[G4 General] tylerdurden:
I can't believe, but I was just able to unlock bootloader via the official LG.

I use a Vodafone ("262" not "EUR" model) H815 and I got the unlock.bin file.

Nevertheless I will of course pay the $15 if someone is able to develop a unofficial unlock method.

Just to inform you and yes, I'm happy :)

[G4 General] WTF?:
there is a much easier way that really works! - sell your existing phone on ebay or swappa (99.9% of LG G4 owners are normal folks who don't give a flip if the bootloader is unlockable, so your nice condition G4 will bring the big money!) - then just use my handy list of G4 variants that are bootloader unlockable to select a replacement G4 that is easily unlocked - done & done! - woohoo!
[G4 General] philviral:
Some of us only have one phone and don't want to be without for a week or more...
[G4 General] WTF?:
then you buy the unlockable bootloader phone first :good:
[G4 General] daniel4653:
Do you know how hard it is to find a unlockable European g4 in the US?
[G4 General] ChriKn:
First of all, most of us either can't buy an unlockable phone or just don't want to spoil their warranty.

Secondly, please stop spamming your thread everywhere. We know you made a list, it is a beautiful list, we are happy for you.

Now, if you haven't anything new to contribute, or news about an unofficial unlock (or lg not voiding the warranty when using their tool) please stop spamming this thread about your list.

This thread is for discussion about the bounty and the state of the "unofficial" unlock. If people pledge money, it is for their reasons and I believe that they were able to read and explore the regions...
[G4 General] WTF?:
Anyone can buy an unlockable phone if they are capable of ordering something online - there are likely over 1 million shops selling the H815 throughout Europe and nearly all of those phones will be unlockable. And if you happen to live in USA, you will probably save money as well, given the recent strength of dollar vs. the Euro and the pound, so quit whining!
[G4 General] KeyGhost:
[MENTION=4602122]ChriKn[/MENTION]

say, how do you feel about setting up a indie-gogo or patron for unlocking the bootloader?

edit: gofundme maybe ?
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Apparently there is a website specially for bounties, I will look into how it works when I have time.

Crowdfunding is a no for me, as we don't have a guarantee it will exist neither a time frame.
[G4 General] philviral:
ChriKn, I hate to do this, but can you please remove my pledge from the list? I have decided that after work today I am going back to the store I got my phone from and exchanging my G4 for a Nexus 6p.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
No problem :)

I prefer that to having wing statements. Good luck with the exchange !
[G4 General] Josh_Shep:
I know this has already been asked but is it really going to be possible to unlock the bootloader on varients ouside of EU? I am considering selling my TWN model on eBay and rebuying another G4 just so I can unlock my bootloader. Last thing I want to do is sell loose out on a little money, then find an unlock a few weeks later. That would frustrate the hell out of me. I mean is this even possible or have LG really done some tight security on this and the modders have just given up??? All I want to know. Is this possible? Maybe someone from the modding community can answer?

Thanks
[G4 General] philviral:
Exchange denied, add me back lol.
[G4 General] DADER:
I remember I read about Verizon S5 bootloader unlocked a while ago and the bounty was around 20000$

Good luck with your project guys [emoji23]
[G4 General] vespino75:
Anyway, in LG Italia (officiale page), the LG write "the warranty is void if the damage occurred not depend on the unlock bootloader".

I do not believe, in any case, have written well.

Very useful, thanks.
[G4 General] Awesomeslayerg:
For the ls991 sprint

Ok guys thanks to [MENTION=2158849]Agimax[/MENTION] we were able to access fastboot mode.. So if someone is willing to donate thier unlock.bin file probably hexing/zeroing out imei and serial number we might be able to make a universal bootloader unlock
[G4 General] jkoljo:
Lolz @ LG if they just store IMEI in the unlock.bin and use it as key without any encryption :)
[G4 General] daddymikey1975:
That would be funny... But given their Frontier approach to locking things down, I doubt it's that easy... Lol

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

Or maybe the device imei is the encryption key? (I know nothing a out this stuff, but I sure can brainstorm lol)
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Source ?
[G4 General] 5nickers:
just look at his recent posts.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
Not that easy on mobile... Found it in the Sprint section under development in his rom thread if others are curious.

PS:After some reading and digging, it seems like this wouldn't help to decode the unlock bin or am I wrong ?

What difference to our cause would this make rather than an already unlocked phone ?

Or am I missing something ?
[G4 General] jkoljo:
Decoding unlock.bin is one way. But I am very certain that it is encrypted, or otherwise protected, so finding a pattern or a way to convert IMEI + device ID to unlock.bin is probably very hard. I also believe that many have tried that. Still if you find a few IMEI/ID & unlock.bin pairs, it is worth taking a diff.

Other options include looking at where the unlock flag is stored, and trying to replace that. It involves getting write access to the partition in question. We also need a few partitions that are in locked, and few in unlocked state to determine what and where the flag is. Write access is probably not that easy either, because the partition where unlock flag is, is most likely protected at boot time. Some previous bootloader unlock methods have been able to power cycle the internal memory chip, and then started it using different type of init than default, to obtain write access.

Anyway.. My point is, it's not that easy, but there are always ways around protection. It is just a matter of time.
[G4 General] ChriKn:
I totally agree with you on all this, that seems the most logical step, but I don't see why a semi fastbootable Sprint version would make things easier than just looking at this through an unlocked version (of course, if a way is found this would probably help spread the solution to the Sprint version).

Would another method be to mass spam LG with unlock request emails? Like if we came up with a stock email to send them to make sure that it's not rude and just to spam the crap out of the HQ till they realise that releasing the unlock codes is in their best interests, would that work?
[G4 General] Pingbo:
I don't think so, because we have a method to unlock the bootloader and the most people don't care about it.

So no it don't make sense, we currently waiting for an unofficial unlock that LG don't know that our bootloader is unlocked. This will cause that we can send our phone back to lg when something is broken, because we can relock the phone and everything seems normal ;)

I called LG and sprint and ask them if they can help me unlock my bootloader and they said they'll get back with me in 48 hours with tech support they said it's possible.

I am using Nexus 5, till 2013 end. But last few days, the phone is charging very slow (as previously mentioned in other threads). I am using the same charger so far and charge both USB and AC mode. Eventually, recent days the mobile is charging pretty slow in both modes and the locked screen is just showing "charging", doesn't show the indicative timing to get full charged.

Please suggest your advice to find out the reason and to rectify it?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mearylll:
Hi everyone, i wonder if anyone can help with my issue.

I recently got a brand new m7 phone - yes it is very old model, but was sealed and boxed.

The issue is the following, it came with android kitkat 4.4.3 in the box, i used it and it was fine. It was fully charged..... around 70% battery. I was then setting it up checking out all features, then suddenly it makes a sound red light and shuts down..... hmm odd. When i try and turn it back on with the power button.... it is not working ... i then put in charger and am shocked to find it is 1%!!

What happened??

After i upgraded android to lollipop.... 5.1 on htc m7..... i took a while.... i updated all my apps.

Again it was charged this time to 100%.......... then i started using it heavily videos etc.... at around 50% the same issue! it does the same thing and shuts down with no error message? just goes black and has a sound and red led???? again i put in usb charger mains..... it is again 0% charger...???

So then everyone.... this power or battery issue has happened twice on two different android versions?

What can i do to fix this?

I am not sure what to do as it is a brand new phone? Or could it be a refurbished phone with a issue?

Hope you guys can use your knowledge to guide me.... i would really be grateful

Many Thanks
