I'm having trouble getting the device id. I'm using a t-mobile version and every time I try to get the id it just fails.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eric93se:
Can someone help, typing "adb devices" returns, LGUS9979bac7774, using the device id generated at LG's developer site says the device is not supported. I triple checked the numbers.

edit: there is no sim card in the phone, the 14 digit IMEI I used to generate the 15 digit IMEI.

Thanks Autoprime

As of 2019-march-20 ...

Your guide about UNLOCKING the bootloader of LG G6 H870 and installing TWRP + right away a rooting app such as Magisk is really effective.

The big thing when installing TWRP on LG G6 with OREO seems to be the "reboot process" holding VOL- AND power in order to reboot properly and flash Magisk ... as explained in your guide ...

A few things however ... (notes for people like me ...)

1 - the unlock process via LG official Dev register + request is still working fine as of 2019 ...

With my "locked" LG G6 running Oreo v8.0.0 and officially patched to 01.01.2019. I got "my" unlock.bin by email, "tailored" to my IMEI and DEVICE ID ... and I installed it without problem thanks to your guide and "minimal adb ... v1.4.3).

2 - The only "shadow" after unlock is the NAG SCREEN by Google telling me I need to lock my bootloader ... But Phone is working fine

3 - NOW ... official TWRP for H870 (that is v3.2.3 as of march 2019), does not work properly with a LG G6 H870 with Oreo stock rom with the latest update installed (v20h).

I had to use the alternative version, "the after melina solution" one can find here : https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/development/twrp-t3828254 to boot properly into TWRP

Using this alternate version of TWRP, I was able to to boot into TWRP + install right away Magisk ...

;) and thanks again Autroprime

:confused:

So i flashed the custom h870 twrp image with adb and i've gone straight to the recovery after this process. When i tried to install zip Magisk in order to keep the recovery from dissapearing. it fails and says: Unable to mount partitions. Updater process ended with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip file 'external_sd/Magisk-v19.0.zip'. Failed to mount /data (unknown error 150. Failed to mount /cache (unknown error 150). Unable to mount storage.

i will stay in recovery untill someone can point to the right direction.

Problem loading into twrp

Hey,

I have a problem installing twrp (I think)

After clicking two times ``yes``, comes the corruption and bootloader warning screen and after that for a few seconds twrp logo, but then the phone restarts and just boots into OS.

I have tried with twrp versions 3.3.1 and 3.3.0

Please help!

Getting stuck when flashing unlock.bin.

I followed the first steps perfectly. After it didnt work the first time I tried updating to the newest release through LG system settings. I also did a factory reset, but no dice.

The email from LG has all the exact info that goes with my phone. This is a US997 btw.

Any ideas?

<Waiting for any Device> in fastboot mode

Excellent guide Autoprime, many thanks.

BLUF: I suspect this is a driver problem, I tried installing several manually to no avail.

I 've rooted several samsungs over the years, this is my first LG. US997, I'm following autoprime's guide, windoze 7 box.

Device shows up in adb mode after install of LG's latest mobile drivers, but appears as unknown "android" in device manager when I drop into fastboot mode. Attempt to run any fastboot command returns <Waiting for any devices>

Anyone have any idea what drivers I need to install for fastboot? Is this something entirely different I'm not seeing?

I know I'm not the first person to run into this; Just haven't yet found a working solution. Feel free to redirect me to posts you may know of.

Cheers!

I have had an LG G4 for the past, maybe 3 or 4 years? it has served me fine and was easy to unlock and root due to it being a European model.

What Smartphone do you suggest at a similar price point to the G6?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lovelyreza:
I prefer xiaomi phones

Easy to unlock easy to root full support and good price
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Verity.:
Oh, easy to unlock? Well, maybe they are, but often you must wait, sometimes it varies between 3 days to an entire month. I bought RN5 1 year ago and I had to wait 2 weeks to unlock it. (Unlocking tool gives you timer that you can't bypass). So, yeah I wouldn't say it's easy to unlock, it's just frustrating.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] the gladiator:
I strongly second that ! My last smartphone was a Huawei and unblocking and rooting the G6 has been a walk in the park compared to it. I'm totally happy about it, the only drawback is the lack of the notification led

I just recieved my US997 g6 and should have really looked around cause I'm kicking my self now for get getting the Pxl2 to play with instead.

My G6 has already been updated to Pie. So, I cant roll back??

If I unlock and root I can only flash android 9 roms?

Other than lack of support the phone is nice and for a mint model at $100 it's a good deal.

from offiacla lg bootloader unlock site:

"2. Unlocking the phone will disable certain functions of your phone.

When unlocking the bootloader, the DRM protection of your phone will become untrusted.

Some applications which require DRM protection may not work anymore or block certain functions due to this untrusted DRM.

Common examples are applications which offer download/streaming of paid multimedia content like music and movies. "

I had already answered [MENTION=7418475]6io[/MENTION]... I'm just gonna copy paste my previous post here... As I think that it is of the Interest of everyone that doesn't have an unlockable variant of the G6...

So here goes:

"Hey! Sorry for the delay...

Nope! Unfortunately I wasn't able to unlock... It says your model LG-H870 (SOUTH AFRICAN) is not supported at this moment or something like that so... Despite being the exact same model and hardware... It appears that, like the G4, only the European variant is going to get the luxury of getting the bootloader unlocked... We should really protest and DEMAND that LG supports unlock for all variants.... It's not fair! We got the same model, pay the same or more money... And don't get the support for unlocking our device's bootloader??? Why is that??

I had the LG G4 H815P, which was the same as the European (H815) hardware wise, you could even flash .kdz and .tot files from the H815 to the H815P and it would work... So... There's no reason for them not to support unlocking, specially because it's not even any extra work for them, all they got to do is list all IMEI from LG G6 as supported, and the program that generates the unlock.bin file would generate it automatically...

Till this day, there is still a Petition (that I signed) for supporting unlocking of the bootloader for all the G4 or at least the H815p variant...

We should start one right now (in the beginning, while it just came out) for the G6!!"

So... This is what happens/appears when I try to unlock my bootloader through the LG dev site...

This does say H870 for the EUROPEAN market... I just don't get why the restriction...

I seriously hope there's either an alternative method, or that every single person that buys a non European version, complains and signs a petition... I seriously don't feel like selling my phone and buying a new one just for the purpose of unlocking the bootloader... Also it is just plain unfair and Stupid!!!

Please, everyone that doesn't own a H870 Euro version, let's all start a petition, complain with emails to LG, hit the soft spots by saying things like, "this is why you'll never sell as much or compete with samsung, you never support your devices properly"!!

Sorry for the rant!!

Cheers everyone!!

The EU regulations are different than the rest of the world

Each authorized seller must provide 24 months warranty for a phone regardless of unlocked bootloader or root

If a hardware fault will be reported the warranty will be still covering you, this doesn't apply for the rest of the world where there are different terms regarding unlocking of the device

LG and other companies doesn't want to provide this unlocked bootloader for this reasons

If anyone has a BRIGHTPOINT US997 could you check something for me?

Download the US997_21E_01_0211-UCL.kdz from lg-firmwares.com and flash it.

Then get the IMEI and Device ID and check on the Unlocker if you got an unlock.bin.

I thought I bought a BRIGHTPOINT edition of the phone when I purchased it in June of 2019 since it wouldn't give me an unlock code and wouldn't update to 21e. I manually flashed the 21e file listed above and only NOW checked to see if it would worked....and I got an unlock.bin code!

The problem is that the latest TWRP version https://dl.twrp.me/h870/twrp-3.4.0-0-h870.img.html does not work. Instead, only the previous version https://dl.twrp.me/h870/twrp-3.3.1-0-h870.img.html works. And even then, you need to delete/wipe everything, then reformat the system into a different file system, before coming back to the first file system and installing the recovery again. Only then was I able to install a ROM.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moondroid:
The link you posted is not showing the complete URL, part of it is missing in the middle. I've tried everything I can think of to locate that page can't find it. I have exactly the same problem, works fine in adb (Android running), but after adb reboot to the bootloader, the phone goes completely unknown. Windows 7 Device Manager shows no driver installed, and I can't get a fastboot driver to install for the life of me.

Help?

Anybody?

Edit, solved (more or less). I tried installing the G6 drivers on a different computer, my desktop, running the same Win7 Pro 64-bit. The first install did not get me fastboot access. But after rebooting the phone to the bootloader I ran the driver .exe again (version 4.5.0), with the phone in bootloader mode. Bam. Fastboot worked.

So this problem is something to do with Windows. Not sure what, but I suspect either Windows Updates or .NET. My laptop and desktop are running the same .NET version, 4.6.2, but maybe there's some sort of corruption on the laptop . . . or something . . . maybe a corrupt, missing or wrong-version dll. I dunno.

I followed all steps here, so I don't know why it doesn't work..I wanted so much trying a custom rom for my g6 (yeah, I have LG drivers already installed and my PC recognised it, twrp is renamed and located in adb folder, and I have bootloader unlocked, so I don't know)..thanks in advance
