That works for the T-Mobile US Variant obviously... For other variants, you need the unlock.bin file, which is generated at developer.lge.com and only if your IMEI and Device ID are from a supported region/market... I will try this however... But pretty sure it won't work.

You have to allow for USB debugging in Developer options... Also, when you connect to the PC, set for media transfer on the phone, and after activating USB debugging and connecting to the PC, you will have to allow permission on the phone for your​ PC to have USB debugging access.

Canadian variant

Hello guys, so I know that the d873 isnt supported, but does anyone have any ideas as to whether or not they will support it later? Im probably going to switch to the s8 if they dont support it in a month or two. If not that then i'm really hoping for another exploit like dirtycow to come around.

I tried every possible combination to access the recovery, followed every steps and several guides, when i flash the recovery it says me this:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22824 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.563s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.203s]
finished. total time: 0.781s

then i try to enter the recovery following the instructions, i wipe all data, nothing happens, i just go back to the homescreen, if i use the command adb reboot recovery it says "no command" with the classic android bot and the command fastboot reboot recovery doesn't exist in my fastboot version...

Any suggestion?

Can you explain in details every step you took to put TWRP in your device?

Starting from the flashing of the recovery TWRP
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbomodder:
Ok so best to start from fresh ,

1) boot to bootloader and flash unlock.bin,

2) now unlocked reboot phone,

3) go to "About Device" and tap build number 7 times for developer mode,

4) tick "usb debugging"

5) connect to PC and issue fastboot cmd "fastboot reboot bootloader",

6) flash twrp via fastboot command,

7) remove cable from phone,

8) hold POWER button + VOL DOWN until you see LG logo and then very quickly release POWER and repress,

9) you should now see stock recovery asking if you want to factory reset, follow instructions for a factory reset,

10) if you did yes for factory reset then it'll show LG logo again and then twrp splash,

11) once in recovery swipe to allow modification,

12) make sure you have SuperSU 2.82 on external storage and flash, DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING,

13) reboot and enjoy a rooted G6

Can't Unlock Bootloader of my LG G6 H870; "cannot load 'unlock.bin' "

This is not the first time that I unlock a bootloader on a device.

I followed this thread. I followed every step.

My device goes into fastboot without a problem. I enabled the option on my device to allow OEM unlock.

I saved my unlock.bin file in my Minimal ADB folder. Every time I input this command: "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin", I get this error: cannot load 'unlock.bin'.

Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance :D

If you mean if you can unlock the bootloader on T.Mobile the answer is yes
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken C:
Not sure if this in response to my post earlier about fastboot commands. Just in case though. I was under the impression that the t mobile version of the device didn't allow for fastboot commands whatsoever. I have the h872 model
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Akhayev:
Did you first install the drivers ? And did you enable OEM unlocking option from developer options ?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken C:
Ya, I was actually just going through the install of the lg pc side program because I couldn't get any of them to install by just plugging in. Then just screwing around to see if adb would see the device I rebooted to what I think was the stock recovery (not sure it was late) with the adb reboot command then again for kicks a put in the fastboot reboot command and it worked. I didn't think we had any fastboot commands. I've also noticed something else and am not sure if it means anything but my model number is H872d whereas I've seen e and h for what I think is the same character in the model #. Seems odd and thought I'd put it out there and see if it meant anything to anybody. Last lg phone I had was the nexus 5 straight from Google not this branded phone I'm carrying now.

Sorry for the spam but I Need Help; My LG G6 (H870) keeps booting in TWRP

Hey guys,

Sorry for the spam, but I got another problem now :(

I unlocked the bootloader of my H870, installed TWRP 3.1.1.0 and SUPERSU. Everything was working great untill I decided to restore my system defaults to make a fresh start with my G6. After choosing the option to restore system defaults, my phone rebooted and it booted into TWRP. I rebooted my phone and it kept doing this all the time.

I decided to look for a stock ROM and flash that ROM.

I succesfully flashed the "LG-H87010f-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip" ROM (from autoprime's post) trough TWRP. But this did not work. I even wiped all the data from my phone (even system) and flashed the ROM again; still nothing.

Before having this issue, I had the same Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number. Only the dates and the Software Version are different.

I had the V10b-EUR-XX Software Version installed on my phone. I see this is the 10f version. I guess this should not be a problem right?

After this I took these steps solve this issue:

1. Downloaded new LG Mobile Drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0)

2. Downloaded and installed LGUP. LGUP doesnt recognize my phone as a LG G6 and this method did not work for that reason.

Fastboot mode is working on my phone; I can reboot my phone trough the commandline on my PC and things like that . However, my PC is not recognizing my phone as a LG G6 device in Fastboot mode.

My PC recognices my phone as a H870 when in TWRP. In Fastboot mode it recognices my phone as Android Device.

3. Installed LG Bridge for more drivers; did not work either

4. Downloaded Uppercut, but it doenst work without LGUP.

4. Looked all over the internet to find a Stock ROM in .zip or .img format; found nothing :(

5. Downloaded WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1 and tried to extract the H87010d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0327.kdz file. I extracted it into .bin files, but they were not usable. After that, I combined these .bin files into a system.img file. But that .img file was bigger then 5 GB and for that reason it was not usable to flash trough Fastboot or TWRP.

7. Looked for other methods to obtain a H870 Stock Rom, including another extraction method, but I cant figure out how to do this.

I have spend countless hours on this problem, but I cant find an usable H870 stock rom to flash my phone with.

Is there someone that can help me out with this problem? Im willing to donate some € if someone helps me to get my phone working again.

Really hoping for a kind person to help me out and provide me solution for this issue.

Thanks in advance ;)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken C:
I know I'm in the wrong thread technically but this is where I'm seeing all the discussion happening. So question for y'all. Yes we all want a recovery on the h872 version of this device. But until then. Are we able to gain root access for the sole purpose of removing bloat from the phone? I don't think I really need 3 email apps that I can't uninstall. Disabling is fine,but they're still taking up space on internal storage. Or can they be removed through adb or some other method? Any info even if there's no chance would be appreciated.

Only the US997 unfortunately correct me if wrong but that's what I got. But it does lend hope that the other variations may be put on the list. Then I ask why not now? How much y'all want to bet it'll come down to the carrier of the branded versions. T mobiles techs are aware of how much their customers want to root this thing. Was speaking with one 2 days ago and threw out the fact of what the g6 is selling for online. My belief is its people that've given up being able to get root dumping the device. Told them straight out that they'd sell the crap out of this thing if they just unshakled it.

Only the European variant of the G, that's Free/Unlocked European version can be unlocked.... They all are H870... But if it is a UK or Germany or whatever variant, you won't be able to unlock it.

Only the European "Country Free"/global variant can be unlocked... Which sucks cause all of them are H870 and have the same hardware except for the internal storage and DAC... But the unlock process is verified by IMEI and Device ID... If it is global European, then it passes, if it isn't, then you get a F*** You in the unlock page of the official website.

I don't understand. If all European (so Germany) H870 can be unlocked then why cannot thephone from Germany be rooted. Is it just SIM free phones that can be unlocked? I got the SIM free model in England and have rooted it. Does that mean that a contract phone such as EE or O2 cannot be unlocked and rooted? I did notice that this phone in my local EE shop had model number of H870V so I guess that cannot be unlocked?

Are there no SIM free phones in Germany, are they all on a contract and so tied to a paticular provider?

Speaking of that, are there any non contract phones that can be bought in the USA?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Probably yes, it's something related to sim-free phone, should ask to them or check if it's really an H870 (with no letters)

In Germany there should be also sim-free devices like in other European countries, also in USA the US997 is unlockable and carrier-free, and it's specified in both title and OP.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbomodder:
That's correct, only sim free phones can be unlocked, no carrier phones are able to get it. I was lucky that Tesco mobile use sim free phones for contracts.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lmiked:
They say it is because of warranty/return policies... Because in some countries, they would still have to give a new device to the customer even if they unlock the Bootloader and brick the phone, unless LG can prove that whatever has been installed after unlocking the Bootloader caused hardware failure... I Think it's bull****!!

Because as far as I understood, the countries/regions where that applies are in Europe and US, which are the ones that get unlock...

Anyway, like I've said before, I'm starting a petition to LG for them to allow unlocking of all variants, not just the G6, but the G4 and all smartphone devices, even if people have to give up their warranty... It's their device, it's their choice, and because some people really want/need root on their device.

I hope everyone will sign it and help spread it so that we'll all be able to unlock our bootloaders.

Same here. I'm super busy and wouldn't know where to start, but if somebody had something to sign I'd be good with it. It's always been the deal with rooting is you voided the warranty.
