Any chance for lineage?

Yes but their is no way to unlock bootloader now.. You can try if it will sucess then soon you will get los
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ninjasinabag:
Anyone looking to unlock the bootloader. Just try the usual.

Go into settings and about phone. Click on build number like 7 times until you can access developer options.

Go to the developer options menu in settings and look for the oem unlock setting then enable it, next find usb debugging and click that.

Open up a command prompt on your computer, connect your phone and leave it on the home screen.

Now use adb to reboot into bootloader mode. adb reboot bootloader

Now you can just type in

fastboot oem unlock

It should ask you to format your phone if the unlock is possible.

If this works and you do manage to unlock the bootloader, I'll give instructions for pushing recovery through CMD or flashify.

[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] crustydemon:
I dont think the phone has a bootloader/fastbootmode

I have been trying to root the device from many days now and everytime end it by giving up

Here is all I have understood till now

1) To root an LG device the first thing to do is to unlock the bootloader (Bootloader is kind of the core chipset/motherboard software. Android is installed on top of this)

2) To unlock the bootloader you need to have your device ID

3) The device ID can be obtained by connecting your phone to the PC in the "bootloader/fastboot" mode (Similar to download mode on samsung)

However the phone does not boot in the "Fastboot/bootloader mode" no matter what I try. I can see the device in ADB, I can give it a command to reboot in the "Bootloader mode". It restarts also, but then it just boots in the normal android mode. PS - I have enabled the debugging mode in the developer options and have also enabled "Enable OEM unlock". But somehow this just wont load in the "fastboot/bootloader mode".

Request to some of the Gurus here to help us(18:9 screen lovers)! :crying::crying:
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dkasmara:
Is this system phone same as LG G6? Maybe some devs can see G6 system to make an unlock bootloader. I am sorry, just trying to give advice. I dont really understand about developing android.

So, does the possibility of us being able to unlock the bootloader on the LG Q6 depend on LG themselves, since we need to get our device's ID via adb and then request the file we require on the LG Developer page, in order to unlock the bootloader by flashing this certain file?

Or did I get it wrong?

Any updates yet?

Who is the person you were talking to in regard to the bootloader anyways? An LG employee? Any more information on that?

Is there a realistic chance of the bootloader being unlockable the "unofficial" way at all?

Has it been possible in the past to do so regarding other LG devices, without the official LG support?

Here's a way to boot into fastboot mode

1. first of all switch off the phone.

2. then hold the volume up button and connect the phone to the usb.

3. Phone will boot into download mode.

4. keep holding the volume up button till the phone boots into fastboot mode.

[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] istinet:
Did you manage to unlock the bootloader?
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] satellitea31:
No , because the phone do not start in recovery mode and i do not unlock the bootloader with fastboot.
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] istinet:
First you have to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. You really can't do much in the stock recovery.

You have to boot to fastboot mode and flash the unlock.bin file you got from LG s site, then flash a custom recovery.

BUT, in an update LG has locked the bootloader and the phone won't stay in fastboot mode, it will just reboot. Maybe going back to a previous firmware will let you unlock it.

I'm going to test this during the weekend, if I have the time.
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] satellitea31:

[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] istinet:
I've found some kdz files on lg-firmwares.com, but I hadn't been able to try out if either of them lets me boot into the bootloader. I assume you can flash the files with LG flash tool.
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Thursen:
Any more information on that? Who uploaded the files, where do they come from? Don't want to mess with my phone, if the files are not secure.
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] istinet:
Sorry, but I can't say who uploaded them. I've mentioned downloading the kdz files from there, because I've used the site in the past when I flashed my G3. I had no issues then. I've seen many recommendations on XDA to get the kdz files there.

If you don't know what you're doing, do not try to root your device. No, it's not possible to root this phone, so testing if suspicious guides work is not the best idea.
[LG Q6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] :
Hi guys, i think for us to be able to root the device is to flash the recovery using fastboot. And for us to get fastboot is to delete the laf partition as LG locks down the fastboot using the laf partition as same as on other LG device. The G2 I believe..

Means Thank you, LG never more. Quite glad that I got this phone as a free present for a bought TV cause it's not worth a fart, let alone money...

Remembers me just the same case with my Sony Z1c back in the time. Same situation, same irritating restriction - BUT over all you could at least to backup the TA partition with DRM and revert it back with the original fw.... Here no chance.... even no chance of unlocking. Shame on LG.
