[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mohammadstr:
Seems no one is willing to unlock dual sim H870DS DSU and S fk u LG

They have made G7 and there is nothing for 2017s flagship especially no official Oreo news from LG for H870S and some others

i think LG should not produce new when they cant support customers

i think LIFE IS NOT GOOD with lg

Maybe LG was not succes in sell G6
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nchc:
Op updated

Total as at post #498 = $3390 of various currencies

Above is a lot of money, well beyond what I thought would be accumulated.

With that in mind, I will not be updating the bounty from now on.

This does not mean further contributions are not welcome, they just won't be mentioned in the first post.

The developer of the LAF exploit appears to be very confident the G6 will be bootloader unlocked.

He is just waiting for the oreo update of his LG phone before releasing to ensure LG do not close the LAF exploit method.

He predicts we may have to wait until September.

So try and enjoy/tolerate your locked G6 for a little longer.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mohammadstr:
Wooow very good news i cant trust my eyes lol ... Promising for me would he unlock other models like H870S ? i will hop if he do this

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimrfraser:
Is anyone actually working on bootloader unlock for all variations?Not being pushy just want to know if we users should look elsewhere besides xda?Maybe better developers on other hack sites(no offence but old phone and no progress)I love xda but lg g6 developers just cant get the job done.Lots of money has been donated to try.Where does all the donations go?hmmmmmm!!!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dbX7:
Afaik, all variants have Oreo. And it can be flashed via lgup on those that may not have it yet. So I suspect this is bs. I'd not expect anything in September. I am still willling to chip my money in for root or bl unlock. But these kind of claims should be under suspicion. A lot of variants already have oreo, and if it is not possible to root or bl unlock them I'd suspect any developer claiming they're waiting for something.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nchc:
Once again people before posting anything, read at least 4 pages prior before posting your brain fart questions.

1) Im not the developer

2) the developers phone has not been updated yet

3) the developer has advised almost all lg phones can be unlocked with his method

4) no money has been collected, a bounty is an intention to contribute.

I've been on XDA for many years (since SGS1). The LG6 community appears to be very immature, impulsive and cant be bothered to research. In turn you frustrate the few developers we have.

READ READ READ and READ some more. Nagging and asking the same questions over and over does not help.

Well, I'm out. Us lazy people may want to spend their money on actual things rather than wait for someone to tell them if they've made any progress. Because $2K+ is obviously not enough. Besides, I trashed my G6 three months ago (screen broken twice cause I'm clumsy), and was still willing to chip in. But don't think I'll wait indefinitely.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
To you all hounding and crying for root and bootloader unlock; the bounty is an INCENTIVE it is NOT a demand to get what we want.

Not to mention by the time the bounty gets met do you think each and every person will stick to their pledge? Most likely not.

H872 has been done but has the dev received anything remotely close to the actual pledge amount? Heck no.

We can't all give up our personal lives for an non existent income; this is all of our passion and it is just a hobby.

Whether you decide to continue complaining; nobody truly cares. You act like you are the only user who paid for this phone.

Let the devs work on their schedule; as you're most definitely not entitled to another human beings time and hard work just because you didn't do your research before buying.

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

This is downright silly.. You know he has a V20 right? And NOT a g6? If you read you'd be well aware.

The exploit is in LG LAF protocol. Do some reading and please don't be so ignorant.

Edit: changed my wording to negate any offence I may have caused.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dbX7:
I did my research on the G6. Unfortunately, H870DS was the only thing you could get here unless you wanted to import or pay an insane over the market value price.

Root and such was optional and I hoped someone could do something.

Paid for the phone, it's broken now, but I still do intend to pledge.

As for the H872 thing, can't say I've seen a post about it, but then again I do not visit the forum as often. I have to dig up information from threads like these and sometimes what people write is conflicting. I was under the assumption the dev was waiting for an OREO update for his G6. Seeing as he has a V20 I'll just forget about G6 altogether. Mind you, it wouldn't kill anyone to just write an update that someone has managed to make progress, but I suppose that is too much to ask.

Make a post about the H872 thing, and I'll pledge the amount of money I promised.

And this is the post that made me assume he had a G6. You could have mentioned he had a V20. Or was it somewhere on the 50 pages of this thread. -_-
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nchc:
The dev has a V20.

As mentioned previously, it hasn't been updated to oreo.

As mentioned previously, the dev has stated the LAF exploit he is continuing to develop will work for many generations of LG phones including G6'S.

Use search feature.

Look at my posts in this thread

Read, read and read some.

AND most importantly, when you find the LAF exploit link, dont hound the dev, search that thread too.

I've wasted more of my time
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dbX7:
Sorry 've wasted your time. To prevent that further I think I won't open this forum anymore.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
You're just coming off very entitled and it's not welcome here.

You ignore the number 1 rule of XDA and expect us to provide.

If you were seriously interested in this forum and had not just googled a quick hack for your benefit then you would surely know the main rules of XDA.

I thought I'd give you the two first links any NEW xda member is supposed to have read.

https://www.xda-developers.com/new-to-xda/

https://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=263

I'm sorry to have come off harsh in anyway as I mean nothing personally as we were all new members one time, but you can't just break rule #1 without having someone pipe up. I truly hope you do enjoy using this forum as it's easily one of the best in the world.

Please no asking for ETAs (or complaining about lack of updates as it's essentially the same thing) and just search; use google, use xda in search bar etc. Use specifics in your search etc.

Please don't harass the developer who is working hard. Google LAF and you'll see a few big threads you can read and catch yourself up on.

This goes for anyone who do not browse other device forums. (Sometimes stuff works from other devices, reading never hurt anyone.)

Anywho my apologies again; I hope you do some reading and enjoy your stay here.

Also here is the post about H872.

https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518

G6 is coming; just have some patience.

LAF effects most LG devices (that's why his work on the v20 will also carry over.)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Ashley david:
So any update on the progress of LAF?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimrfraser:
Do we have root yet for all variant? And for all the fools who tell us to stop asking well its a free world and I want to know the progress on root. Dont need a whole paragraph on my sence of entitlement just want a very simple question answered. Is someone working on root for all variant?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
No; we don't. If you learned how to READ you'd know that.

Us 'fools' are getting exhausted with spoon feeding you people who don't know how to do your own searches in 2018... And we are the fools?

Heres your simple question answered: NO.

Now you should probably sell your phone and give up hope (sarcasm, a joke.)

The answer has been REPEATEDLY laid out for you all over XDA, no wonder developers don't communicate in XDA threads often.

Glad you read my paragraph though; seems you're above the forum rules. ?

Have a great day.

This has been hands down the most disappointing phone I have ever owned.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] paulmerrill:
Can I ask why? I've got one and don't have too many problems. I came from a nexus 6, which is brilliant but slow. The L6 has a little smaller screen, which I can say I don't like but it's fast and the screen and camera are brilliant.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Deadman26:
He's basically just saying that just for the moment cause you can't unlock bootloader... Or maybe we may never get :( I really hope we do though
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] bick:
I agree I sold mine.

No root and I found the audio quite harsh. Coming from HTC 10, I found G6 hi-fi audio nowhere as good.

I did, however, have Ainur audio mod on the HTC 10.

Was hoping to try it on G6..

SOLD....got an HTC U11 now....excellent audio and ROOTED!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] paulmerrill:
I must say that I've had a Nexus 6 for years as well as Samsung devices and the ability to root and once all the dust has settled, I think the ability to root is over blown unless you want to keep up with the latest release. I find that I use apps most of the time, do a little config changes but never really noticed any drastic improvements. The kernel tweakers never really made that much of a difference, a little but not enough to be worth it. Most hi changes these days can be done by apps, so unless your a developer, my opinion has changed from woo hoo root!, to meh.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] digital pianist:
I agree in general, except for Android's app/data backup/transfer issue which is quite annoying for any non-major apps you just want to be how they were, while not supporting e.g. Drive-backup nor file-based ex/import. And even if those apps do not disallow the ADB appdata backup/restore, that method only worked occasionally for me (going from rooted nexus 4 to G6).

Stuff like tweaking button behaviour and comes second, for me. But hey :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] paulmerrill:
Yes agree. Buy a new phone, backup all my apps on my old phone and move them to my new phone is a real pain. A good backup/restore app that does not require root is needed. However, I don't think there is one. Is there?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ravadosa:
If you have an LG phone you can use the included LG Mobile Switch application to transfer to a new phone easily.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] paulmerrill:
Ah yes, very true. While I like my G6 (ish), I'm going to go for a bigger screen when I upgrade next (a few years at least), something closer to my Nexus 6 screen size.

If I donate, will my device be unlocked? Can you briefly summarize the subject? I'm sorry to tired you

Note: I am using H870TR
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] paulmerrill:
No one has solved the unlocking problem yet. If someone does solve it then I think the successful person may be paid the money that was pledged. The longer it takes to find a solution, the lower the pay I expect as the phone is getting older by the day and people move from the G6 to another phone that is easier to unlock.

As they say, we are all living with the hope that a solution will be found some day. If it happens, then it happens, if it doesn't, then it doesn't. No guarantees.

Why do you say it's bad? I think the screen is a little too small for me, but the screen is good the camera is good and it's fast for apps. Perhaps not for games, but I don't play games on my phone. It a pretty good buy in Oz for $AUD 450.

really funny !!

LG phones just a jock in smartphones world
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] paulmerrill:
Take a look at this out of interest: https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/htc-one-m8,lg-g6

Yeah, sorry disagree. A 801 processor versus an 821. I have an old Nexus 6 with an 801 and while it's a great phone, it's just too damn slow. The G6 is much faster and the battery lasts longer. While the G6 can't be rooted, and I've had many phones that I have rooted, I don't miss it. It was more trouble than it's worth and there was little performance benefit with all the tweaking. As a hobby it was great fun but from a usefulness point of view, meh.

However, I'm not advocating the G6 as the best phone ever, I think the screen is too small for me (other's may disagree, which is fine, it's my preference). I miss the N6 screen and dimensions. The sound is nothing to write home about, ok but not great (this we agree) but it is pretty quick, I don't mind the camera, it takes pretty good pics for me and the shutter speed is great. Taking pics from my N6 on LineageOS 8.1 was painfully slow. At $AUD 450 the G6 is a good buy. I look at some of the other top phones for $1,000 and I think, nah, I just ain't interested in spending that much money on a phone, it's not worth it. As for buying a $1,800 iPhone, you have got to be kidding. I'll probably use the G6 for the next couple of years and then trade to another, larger screen but I really hate the tall slim screen ones, like the S9 and S9+. I guess I'll play the waiting game.

As for LG as a phone company, I think there are a bunch of companies like them that need to make a strategic decision, stay or go. This includes LG, HTC, OnePlus, etc, etc. The top 5 at this moment are:

1. Samsung

2. Huawei

3. Apple

4. Xiaomi

5. OPPO

The top 5 have 66% of the phones shipped, the remaining 100 other companies, including all the dozens and dozens of Chinese variants have 33% in total, not much. Companies like LG, HTC, Lenovo, ASUS, Meizu, etc really need to see if there is sufficient ROI to continue with their business. Time will tell I guess.
