Thank you [MENTION=5933283]Awesomeslayerg[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5094222]netookska05[/MENTION] . Finally got unlock and root using both your guides, after getting bricked twice and once going to sahara mode.

Mine is an Indian EMW. Below are few important points i found after literally half a day of trial and errors :-

1> Everything you do is at your own risk. I bricked my phone twice, so be careful.

2> Most important is to get your partitions backed up using QFIL. This is the only thing that saved me from the two bricks and sahara mode. It takes a crazy amount of time to backup everything, but it was fully worth the time. Thank you again [MENTION=5933283]Awesomeslayerg[/MENTION] for this guide: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-partitions-flash-abl-t-mo-t4051249

3> I used the files linked in [MENTION=5094222]netookska05[/MENTION] guide. Thank you for the guide it works on non Verizon phones also. https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/verizon-lg-g710vm20f-t4057031

4> I needed to crossflash back to Oreo first. Only then the v35 boot loader gets loaded and fastboot oem unlock command works. https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/cross-flash-oreo-pie-firmwares-lg-g7-g7-t3915303

5> For root, patching my boot images did not work. So i crossflashed back to 20n firmware and used [MENTION=5445902]chirantantab[/MENTION] guide to root. https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/development/root-t3958624

Hope this helps some people finding it difficult to unlock and root their Indian EMWs.

yup, everything went well until the fastboot oem unlock part. i have tried several times but failed. so maybe the korean variant cant be unlocked. correct me if i'm wrong.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
You guys have not mentioned which model g7 you have. Also in unbrick guide it says to restart edl mode when connected to gfil. This helped me find my partitions which were not visible earlier.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] StryfleX_:
i'm gonna try using this guide with my LM-G710N and hopefully it will work.

EDIT: It worked!! When i tried fastboot oem unlock it says failed and i've accidentally reboot and it showed that my device could not be checked for corruption, lock the bootloader. And then i thought, wait what? So i reboot to bootloader and found out that it was unlocked. So if you get errors after trying fastboot oem unlock dont worry its already unlock. But just make sure to use the adb from the official platform tools for windows (google it) and i can conclude that the G710N is unlockable.

This actually didn't work, and bricked my phone. I replaced the abl_a with the one provided, and saw V35 during the fastboot, but unlocking of the OEM didn't work & so I got stuck on EDL.

Luckily, I had the backup of abl_a and reloaded that image, hoping to restore my phone in download mode using LG UP.

Most of us are having the problem with "Fastboot Failed" error. If this gets solved then, majority of us would've been with an unlocked bootloader.

Will try this again, but on a computer with USB 2.0.

Note: For those stuck with Red case error, your only option would be to upload the stock KDZ firmware via LGUP tool using command prompt.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:

Yes. I too used to get that error when i tried with pie. With oreo the v35 bootloader loaded and that command went through.

You are saying v35 bootloader was flashed in your phone, but i doubt it. V35 bootloader will look different. See the verizon guide link present in OP.

Do not put abl_a back.

So I successfully unlocked my bootloader on G710ULM. However, I'm really confused with the root instructions. I flashed the stock firmware for my model with a kdz file, but when I extracted the boot.img, I got 2 different boot.img. They are both the same size, but I'm not sure which one is correct to use. Also, do I just take the boot.img, patch it with magisk, and then....I'm not sure what to do. I'm a total noob so any advice is appreciated.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] netookska05:
If you have the boot imgs one should be boot_a.img and the other boot_b.img. boot a is for slot a and boot b for slot b.

Patch both if you want more likely you only need to patch boot a and then load the magisk patched boot img in fastboot or qfil.

Qfil will give that error if you are using unsupported filename or if the image you are uploading is incorrect.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] netookska05:
Do you know what slot your phone is using a or b? What slot did you load the rooted boot img? If you are unsure you should have loaded it in a and b. Fastboot maybe disabled depending what kdz you are on.
