The $120 goal has been reached yesterday so I still have hopes, plus we donated (I donated $10) to the same guy that managed to unlock V40, V35 and G7 bootloaders successfully so he could buy a G6 and try to develop a method for it.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
I wish you luck, but you should take into account that you might inadvertently brick your phone in the process.

In my experience, the development of a stable and reliable "unofficial" unlock/root is not a one man job but requires an active team of collaborating developers, testers and users in order to get it right. As you can see, the G6 forums are not very active anymore. Perhaps he is talented and up to the challenge and has enough collaborators to do the job. But there are enough comments on this forum and others that document failed or partial attempts that end up not working at best, or bricking the phone at worst.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jagjot2704:
My thoughts exactly. People should've realised it by now that if they want to install custom ROMs and quick updates, European models or devices like pixel, nokia8, oneplus5 etc is the way to go. Samsung and LG both have a bad reputation when it comes to updates and supporting their development community.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nchc:
Your expectations may have been unrealistic. XDA is littered with bounty threads, most are unfulfilled or take a considerable amount of time. So much so that pledges are not paid, consequently bounty threads are somewhat tainted.

Trouble with selling your G6 is that it could be unlocked a week later...damned if do, damned if don't.

I've become accustomed a modified stock rom using adb to debloat and greenify.

It appears users of the soucre built roms are not pleased with camera performance, therefore i dont feel as though im missing out on much at this point in time.

Having said that, a OP5 would be nice. I have high hopes for the pixel 2s, flagship nokia and essential phones were/are a bit of a let down for me. Unlockable V30 is cost prohibitive for me to import to Australia...kinda done with LG because of the regional unlock policy.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
Sorry about your laptop but to be fair with blueborne you can basically take over android like a remote desktop. AFAIK it doesn't give root privilege nor would really help with rooting. Stealing credentials (via keylogger maybe?) sure but very doubtful about root.

Hopefully you get your computer back, I know the feeling all too well.

Edit - sorry after researching more apparently if you can grant an apps permissions then it can be bypassed. Root is in fact possible.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] J0SH1X:
