You are asking if LG officially unlock bootloaders for ULM variant and I told you LG officially unlocks European G7 Thinq bootloaders only. What do you mean "that doens't answer my question"? I have an ULM variant and the bootloaders unlocked using this thread.

LG will not support bootloader unlocking for U.S. models. Is that answer you wanted?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmyStoo:
No, that is not at all what I asked. Please re-read my post.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sinkoo1979:
ask LG directly "if" LG will officially unlock your G710 ULM bootloader. Please search LG's website to get email or how to contact LG. or you could use this thread and unlock your bootloader.

No..forget it

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

But yes I asked LG dev team and they registered mine, and I was able to download the unlock bin file...but haven't unlocked it yet. There seems to be no point now in unlocking since there isn't any custom dev going on for it. I wanted to try the Lineage OS but that's for Europe version so I'm not sure if it will work on mine or cause it to brick. I still wanna try it though
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] rhythm_dx:
If I understand correctly, [MENTION=5266550]jimmyStoo[/MENTION] is offering his official unlock as a means to reverse engineer the unlocking of other variants.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmyStoo:
Hmm not exactly unfortunately. This is my only phone so..

If someone don't mind having their G710ULM tinkered with they can contact the LG dev team and *possibly* get it registered for unlock, and then have some one reverse engineer it.

I just wanted to know if it would be possible to copy the bootloader from an unlocked (officialy) G710ULM and use that bootloader on other G710ULMs to unlock them also...? Does the bootloader contain device-specific data like S/Ns or any other unique data?

Thanks
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] rhythm_dx:
Got it! I don't think the bootloader contains anything specific to your own device, but the unlock bin might. Did you have to supply your IMEI or anything to the LG Dev team?

And kudos to you for getting the Dev team to turn over the unlock! I pestered them to unlock my V10 way back with no luck. Glad you had some success!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmyStoo:
Yes I had to provide the IMEI. Good luck!

Were you able to flash back to VZW firmware from ULM? I can't get either my wife's G7 or mine to flash back in LGUP because of the built-in check. Tried several cables and ports,but haven't gotten around to trying another computer yet.

I would like to know before i attempt to do this procedure.this works on the verizon variant too?

the procedure is universal for all compatible models?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] rhythm_dx:
Yes, I have rooted two Verizon G7 phones this way, one of which I'm typing this on. However, I haven't been able to flash back from the ULM firmware to the Verizon firmware in LGUP. I'm not entirely certain whether that's just some minor issue on my end or whether it's a problem specifically with these Verizon phones. If the Verizon apps like visual voicemail are important to you, think twice about going through with this. I would do it again if given the choice, but it would be nice to have the stock firmware back.

Anyone have a tutorial on how to upgrade to ulm pie and keep root?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] loonycgb2:
You can possibly go back to verizon kdz using lgup 1.14 using partition dl, but it is at your own risk.

People have been successful flashing with that version and others have had a bad flash.

1.14 dev version bypasses the firmware checks and can force kdz install by doing each partition manually

How to get root on Pie.

Hi everyone, I need a little help here.

So I have an LG G710PM converted to ULM. Its bootloader unlocked but since I am using Pie there is not fastboot or bootloader. Is there anyway to get fastboot in Pie?? I want to flash Lineage OS but is that even possible?

Is the abl_a.img(with the download link in the OP) firmware dependent? I have patched the boot image of my current firmware (EAW v20f IND pie) and wish to unlock the bootloader. Will the abl_a.img work regardless?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] inserterikhere:
No matter what you do, you will lose fastboot when upgrading to pie. The only way to get fastboot back is to contact [MENTION=5924351]vbenk[/MENTION]ovskyy on telegram, and pay for his service to add it back. I went through it with my ULM after doing the root method, and he added it back. After that I was able to install twrp, and then flash Llama's carbon rom. As for flashing GSI's on Oreo, yes you can do that. I tried it once with AOSP Gsi and it worked, but of course many things are broken or don't work.

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

I think you need to flash ULM Oreo to unlock the bootloader if I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong). OP doesn't mention EAW as supported device, I guess you have to try or check the thread for instruction on your version.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] allinkiran:
I believe the uploaded abl_a.img in the OP is the engineering bootloader from v35 that was used to unlock bootloader in the octoplus method. It has support for EAW which is why I want to give it a try without having to go back to oreo and then return to pie since there are chances of loosing fastboot or download mode. This is my daily use phone so don't want to jump in and brick it :)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hazelmade:
I have gotten as far as Fastboot mode. My bootloader is unlocked. Im on the correct kdz. Ulm oreo on verizon model. Im trying to flash the boot image but it keeps saying cannot find directory. Do i need to have the boot image in a certain folder? If so is there i download for that folder or is it on my pc already..? Since my bootloader is unlocked do i need to flash the boot image or is there a way i can flash a recovery or rom?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaanSatish:
Indeed, it was v20f.

You are right...., what I did was

1. Downloaded and Extracted the boot.img from the firmware V20f using WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1-Release ( https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3975633&d=1482337024)

2. Patched the firmware with latest magisk ( https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.3.5/MagiskManager-v7.3.5.apk ). ( Copy the extracted boot.img to internal memory or SD card of G7, install Magisk Manager, patch boot.img using magisk manager ).

3. followed the instruction mentioned in the OP (opening post) of this thread.

4. Voila my LG G7 was unlocked.......

I'm not sure why or how, but after the "dd if" command I did the 'adb reboot bootloader' and the phone went to bootloop. After a couple cycles it booted up in secure mode and then asked for factory reset which I did. However since I was on pie update prior to the factory reset, it has sent me back on oreo. So my question is if I can easily update to pie using OTA/lgup?(I already have the firmware downloaded)

Edit : Check for updates show I am on the latest firmware. Could it be because the abl_a.img flash was successful?

Edit2 : Yes it was successful. Can I flash back the pie using LGUP or am I stuck on oreo?

Sorry to bother you with this but I skimmed the whole thread an I just got this phone and I'm anxious to get the phone rooted. I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Snapdragon Canadian model and there were no inklings of root happening anytime in the near future but most likely never so I traded it for this phone as the note 9 was old and is paid off so it was no big deal. I got this phone and it is in pristine mint condition but I want to root the phone and I saw that post where a Canadian did it successfully but my question is can I or can you advise me if it would be risky to try it on this model because I would have to downgrade and I don't know if downgrading a bootloader is possible. I'll send a screenshot at the end of this and you can see what phone model I have. If you could give me any pointers I would definitely be interested as I am not a novice when it comes to rooting phones. I have done about 5 now and this one particular brand and model is new to me. I want to make sure I am not doing something stupid and end up with no phone because I live in the country and we don't have Internet where we Liv, and that's the second thing, I will have to download large files on my data plan. Kind of wondering if it's worth trying.

Hey [MENTION=9542450]TWiiTCH[/MENTION]

I am a fellow Canadian LG G7 owner. How is it going?

You mentioned in your post here that you saw a Canadian user manage to BL unlock using the procedure outlined in THIS thread? Where did you see that? Unless there has been some changes since this thread had originally started, a stock Canadian G7, the AWM model, CAN NOT be bootloader unlocked using this procedure. The only way to unlock it is via box solutions like Octoplus etc. Our model does not have access to 'fastboot' i.e. you cannot boot to fastboot mode at all and thus cannot execute any of the required fastboot commands. What is more important is that unfortunately while you can use LGUP to flash and cross flash any other LG G7 firmware from different regions, this will NOT have any effect on the locked fastboot status; I have tried almost all of them ULM, EM, EMW etc it does not open up access to fastboot. I had mentioned this in the early days of this thread and, again I will be happy to know if I am mistaken and a method to do this has been found but as far as I can tell we can only unlock our canadian G7 bootlader with octoplus software/box.
