In Europe locking bootloader will give back the warranty
Q11: Does rooting/unlocking your phone invalidate its warranty? (In EU)
In short: No. Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union.
For Indian customers, The warranty is void if you unlock/root your device. Motorola also reserves the right to maintain the records of unlocked bootloader devices. So you may not even get the warranty by relocking the device

Double check your string for any space.first copy string to a notepad then remove all space.
Related to unlocking: is it normal that after unlocking it's not possible to boot into stock recovery?
By the way, I read in other threads that locking the bootloader again requires alterations to firmware (like rooting) to be undone first, otherwise locking is rejected. If true, it might help to add this remark to the info above.

unlocking simply does not mess up with your recovery.
To lock again, yes you'll need to do full unroot.

unlocking bootloader only does that and nothing else, now if you go installing customs roms, root and so on. you have to re-install your system fresh and clean like a widdle baby's bottom after mommy has cleaned it

@Falcon G or others who can help
Do I need to flash a custom recovery for root my device ? After unlocking the bootloader I can't flash supersu with the stock recovery ?
Thanks in advance
edit : As of today - 28th June, this method ONLY works on the H815 EU models
update 26th July : Please go check the dream team's ROOT thread located here : [ROOT] TMO/VZW/ATT/SPRINT/INTL Root your LG G4 with Low Effort Root!
Thanks @thecubed , @autoprime , @IllegalArgument & @jcase for their hard work
Hi guys, a quick step by step guide to how I was able to unlock, install TWRP and Root my H815. Please don't hold me responsible if any issues arise with your phone. If you do this, you take your own responsibilities.
I tend to download all the tools in a single folder so it is easier to manage.
The LG Site:
1. go to this LINK and register.
2. you will get a confirmation email.
3. go to this LINK to unlock your bootloader (you will find the information on how to get your IMEI and Device ID lower in the post)
Your PC :
1. Be sure to have the LG drivers (i connected my phone first, it automatically installed the drivers on the computer.
update 27th July : thanks @the_scotsman in case you have driver issues please download these provided by @autoprime : LGUnitedMobile_Win_Driver_Ver_3.14.1
2. Be sure you have installed the ADB stuff that can be found here : Minimal ADB & Fastboot & ADB Installer (type Y to all the questions asked)
Install Minimal ADB first. Then type Y to all the questions the ADB installer asks. Close both windows once done.
Download TWRP 2.8.7. for H815:
1. go to this LINK and download it. Add it to your folder
Download SuperSu 2.46:
1. Download SuperSu 2.46 HERE (thanks @Chainfire ) and add it to your folder
PC & G4 love :
Once you are sure you have completed all the above tasks start rolling :
A. Enter your IMEI on the LG page
- you can find your IMEI on the G4 by going to settings > about phone > status
B. Get your Device ID:
1. hook up your LG on your PC (be sure not to be locked on your lockscreen, That USB debugging is checked and OEM checked in the Developer Options)
2. launch your CMD and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
your phone will reboot
3. type this to get your Device ID
Code:
fastboot oem device-id
4. You will see two lines of number. Copy them and paste them together (to make one line) in the the Device ID fields on the LG site.
5 type :
Code:
fastboot reboot
5. close CMD
5. click Confirm on the site and you will receive by email a file called : unlock.bin.
Unlocking your bootloader:
1. once you get your LG email, save the unlock.bin in your folder
2. launch CMD from the folder (hold shift, right click the folder)
3. in CMD type :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4. once your phone is rebooted in bootloader type :
Code:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
5. then reboot your phone by typing :
Code:
fastboot reboot
Normally your phone now has it's bootloader unlocked. When it boots you should see a message on the top left of the screen saying that.
COPY SuperSu and the downloaded TWRP file onto your phone (i put it in the download folder in the phone, not the SD) so you are ready for the next steps
Booting TWRP via ADB and bootloader mode
I personally think this was the easiest way to be able to root and clean install TWRP. Be sure your TWRP is in the folder.
1. Launch CMD from the folder (hold shift, right click the folder)
2. type (again) :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. once your phone reboots and is in bootloader mode type :
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP2861.img
the new name of the file
or
Code:
fastboot boot p1.img
if you didn't rename it.
4. now you will reboot into TWRP.
Installing SuperSu
1. once you are in TWRP click install and go find your SuperSu file.
2. Swipe to install.
3. Once installation is done, reboot to system.
Once you have rebooted into the OS you will find the SuperSu app. Download the TWRP manager just to have it handy. And now i would install the TWRP file you have copied on your phone with flashify. I think it's a great tool.
2 ways to do it:
1. locate the file, click on it and choose to open with flashify then choose recovery and follow the steps
2. find the file via flashify and install.
(Don't download TWRP for H815 in the TWRP manager or Flashify as they are not fixed by @wolfgart (correct me if I am wrong))
once all this done and rebooted. Your phone will have TWRP and would be Rooted. Choose the TWRP manager to boot into recovery when you want.
I preferred to reboot the phone every time just to be sure...
If you have any comments, or i wrote something wrong, don't hesitate to correct me.
Have fun
UPDATE : Thanks to @autoprime you can also update your H815 EU to the latest Stock ROM : 10C (don't forget to thank him, as those guys are working hard to make your life easier!)
@the_scotsman, maybe you can pin this to help the lost souls until a one app does it all appears?
Well that was quick.

I'm stuck on "fastboot oem device-id" command in cmd. Everything up to that point goes smoothly.
command line says "waiting for device" and the phone screen doesn't show phone ID, but gives me options 1-3. 1 being to show device ID, can't remember what the other ones are now. But I can't select "1". What am I doing wrong?
I have USB debugging on, also the OEM unlock is checked in development options.

unplug your device, if you can't restart it, by keeping your finger pressed for 10 seconds on the power button, take battery out.
Once you put the battery back in, restart the phone, plug in the phone in the computer, restart the CMD, and start the procedure again. :
2. launch your CMD and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
your phone will reboot
3. type this to get your Device ID
Code:
fastboot oem device-id

I've tried this a few times now, same outcome, same thing, don't get a code, only get the 3 options and the power off 10 second thing, which doesn't work btw, have to pull battery every time
The numbers should show on your CMD window on your computer not the phone.
If the CMD window only shows "waiting for device", did you try to shut the CMD windows?

ah, thought they were supposed to show on the phone screen.
not sure what you mean by shutting the cmd window? I just get stuck on that "waiting for device" message in cmd, at which point I unplugged the phone, did a battery pull and tried again. I've tried about 5 times now, I double checked everything, have all the drivers installed etc.
Oh, and I do have the h815 EU version of the G4. I'll keep digging.
Could someone try out netflix, camera, divx files, YouTube and all the things that people were afraid of loosing. I for myself would really like to root but I dont want to loose any functions by doing that.

I have no issues with Netflix, divx, camera or YouTube.
Just a reminder that this does not work with all H815's as of 6/5/15. I think those of us that got a non EU region specific H815's get stuck when requesting a bootloader unlock from LG. Most of us are getting "not found suffix" when trying to submit the IMEI# and device ID. Note: trying different internet browsers does nothing, so don't bother.
We'll have to wait for LG to either approve all region G4's or another method. Cheers for making a guide though.

And now i see there is a HOWTO Thread
SO i have doubled it :crying:
But same answers like here "we got like 5 Threads", but like u said @SAO NOT 1Thread were all-in-one is explained! :good:
Is there a reason why we have to temporarily boot into TWRP to install root and then install TWRP via a secondary method?
Like, why can't we just do a "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command to install TWRP like most other devices with an unlocked bootloader?
Does this method break DRM?

To root your Sony X Performance phone ( I have the F8132 ) You must do this procedure till maybe in the future there is another method.
Unlock bootloader on Xperia X Performance
1) download the ADB-drivers utility here that you will need to install the drivers which enable flashmode to work on your pc. You will also need the Sony Performance X driver so your computer will connect to it properly here
2) Go here to download Android Studio Software which allows you to pen a cmd line and program the phone in flashmode. To save you lots of time and trouble, again, my instructions are much better and help you navigate to the places you need to be so this goes well. Disregard the Sony instructions because you will most likely ask yourself many questions and will not find answers.You will need to properly install the Android studio software to get it working the way you need. Upon install, check off Android SDK and Android Virtual Device. Click next. It takes a while to install. Open the software after it has been installed. It will tell you " No Android SDK found. Click next. Click next again to install the two prechecked updates which are Android SDK Platform and API25" ANdroid 7.1.1 (Nougat). Then click finished to start the install of those 2 updates. It will download files from the internet. This will take a while. Click inish when its done downloading. At the welcome window of Android Studio click on the "configure" button. Choose SDK Manager. There will be 3 tabs at the upper midline of the window. Choose the "SDK Tools" tab. Check off "Google USB Driver and Google Web Driver. Usually these drivers will not work to get your phone in fastboot mode. This is why I have instructed you to install the Flashtool-
drivers utility. Nonetheless, click on these and click on apply. Click accept the click next to download and install this update. Click finish after it has installed then click ok to close the software.
3) On your device, turn on USB debugging and turn on OEM Unlocking by going to Settings, then about phone. Go all the way down to build version and tap on it about 7 times. This will unlock Developer Options menu. To go into Developer Options once it is unlocked goto Settings, then Developer options . This menu is where you must turn on usb debugging and OEM Unlocking to proceed with the procedure.
4) After you have turned on usb debugging, turn your phone off. After its turned off, hold the volume down button while plugging the phone into your pc. Your computer should install drivers that will enable Flashmode.
5)Go here to have Sony give you the unlock code. Input your email address to get the code emailed to you with instructions. It takes just a minute to get the unlock code. DO NOT attempt
to unlock your bootloader with some other method. Odds are its a scam or virus or both and you will be screwed. Follow the steps to get the unlock code by putting in your IMEI
then you are suggested to follow my steps to unlock the bootloader. Keep the Sony page open for reference because once it is closed, you will have to redo the email process and
IMEI process again to get the same code. Youre unlock code never changes.
6) goto the file location C:\Users\PC-User\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools where you will open a cmd prompt you must open a cmd prompt in only this folder to make this work. to do so , once in that specific folder
hold down your right mouse button and clock on the shift key then release the mouse button. This will open a pop up window where you can choose to " open command window here"
7) when the cmd window opens, copy and paste this "fastboot devices" directly AFTER the ">" symbol and paste it in the command line with no spaces. It should look lik this.
.........C:\Users\PC-User\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices.........
8)press enter button, your computer should respond in the cmd line with something that looks like this
......CB512A697c fastboot.......
This lets you know that your phone is in the correct mode and ready to be programmed.
9) to unlock your bootloader you then copy and paste directly the cmd code Sony gives you from there website "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0XXXXXXXXXXXX" . It will look like this C:\Users\PC-User\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xxxxxxxx... The 0xxxx's are YOUR SPECIFIC Unlock code given to you by Sony. DO NOT get this from another other website or software otherwise you will probably be infected with some kind of virus of worse on your phone or computer.
10) press enter to intiate bootloader unlock procedure
11) once bootloader unlock is successful you will see the cmd line spell out this "OKAY [ 1.165s] finished. time: 1.168s" The seconds mean nothing. You do want it to say OKAY!
12) reboot the phone and you will see an annoying warning that cant be undone, which says " your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted" No big deal but very annoying. The phone will work but you will see this everytime you reboot the phone.
13) It takes a while, several minutes, maybe 5, to have the phone bootup. When it does, you will see everything is in a weird language. You need to choose which language you want. to know which menu you must choose, just click on the very first down pointing arrow in the middle of the screen. A menu pops up and you can then choose the language you want. After choosing a language clock ok. Youre done!

However, it's not the one you had before unlocking.
But who cares as long as it will let Sony engine works.

Got to OnePlus support center and go in download section and download official ROM. Hold power and volume up bottons and connect it to PC. After that go in folder where adb files are located on your PC (If you don't have them, search on Google for "adb install 15 sec"). Hold left shift on your keyboard and right click your mouse in that folder on an empty space. Click something related with command window and type "fastboot devices". If you get some kind of feedback it's 2minute of work! If you don't have anything come up, try to start your device in fastboot mode again (second sentence in this post). After you got a feedback from command "fastboot devices" flash custom recovery (I suggest TWRP, Google it and download the .IMG file for your device). To flash a custom recovery type this in command line: "fastboot flash recovery IMAGE_NAME.img"
*replace IMAGE_NAME with actual image name...
After that boot in recovery by disconnecting the phone and powering off the phone. Press and hold power button and volume down buttons till blue TWRP logo appears. After that connect your device on PC and transfer your .Zip file(ROM) to internal memory of your device. You should go back to main menu of recovery and select wipe>advanced wipe, select everything BUT INTERNAL STORAGE!!!***IMPORTANT***
Then you just install ROM like you would normally do...
Press thanks it i helped! Hope I didn't missed something.
This is written in mind with that you have unlocked bootloader like you have written in your post...

Got to OnePlus support center and go in download section and download official ROM. Hold power and volume up bottons and connect it to PC. After that go in folder where adb files are located on your PC (If you don't have them, search on Google for "adb install 15 sec"). Hold left shift on your keyboard and right click your mouse in that folder on an empty space. Click something related with command window and type "fastboot devices".

Fallow this and don't trust any guides written out of memory with likely any mistakes.. (no offense)
This guide has various approaches to recover your phone, remember to research first and don't type carelessly any adb commands, it's not enough to just tick "oem unlock" in developer options, you'd have to type command on fastboot too, to unlock the bootloader.. there are many guides and youtube tutorials on this subject, absolutely unnecessary to blindly kill it, anyways I'll never understand how you can be so reckless with your phone..

Don't!
If you get no joy from following the instructions in the link given by @Sam Nakamura, try @fareed_xtreme's Official OP2 Stock Reset to OOS 3.0.2

Aight thank you i had some suspicion it might be ...-bricked didnt know which though so thank you
If you can get in the bootloader then possibly the device is still OK. Just need to get the right ROM.
Try different TWRP versions. Sometimes, one particular version can save the world.
25.11.2017 - Update: I've just used same tutorial to unlock Z5 6653 and it was success ! Good luck to everyone!
23.09.2021 - Files shared again by request. If any questions occur - write me.
This is solution that i used to unlock found device Xperia Z5 Premium, which was locked with fingerprint, bootloader is locked and FRP (google account security) is activated.
Dear friends, as everyone here, i must say USE THIS GUIDE ON YOUR OWN RISK ! ! !
I'm not responsible for bricked devices, if your dog unplug the cable or you lost electricity durring flashing!
First i want to say HUGE thanks to @YasuHamed !!! He knows why !

GUIDE:
1st you need Sony flashtool and drivers, and ADB fastboot.
-Download Sony Companion to have all sony drivers.
-Download Flashtool (flashtool-0.9.23.1-windows.exe) and install it.
-I updated Flashtool from 0.9.23.1 to 0.9.23.2. Simply download (x10flasher.jar) and replace existing file in C:/Flashtool/.
-Next download ADB fastboot (minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4_setup.exe) and install it.
2nd i flashing another Android using Flashtool thru flash mode, for clean start of the device.
-Open Flashtool (C:/Flashtool/Flashtool.exe)
-Connect your device in flash mode.
-Click on the black XE button on the right end of the toolbar in FlashTool.
-Choose your device, choose region and customization and on the right side, bellow the picture of the phone you can see "Available Firmware:"
Here i've choose 1300-1579 Internal Promoter 32.0.A.6.170 / R2B. This is old 5.1.1 Android which allow you to get in to the phone menu itself and do the FRP Unlock.
-Click on the firmware , bellow phone picture, and download it.
-After it is downloaded, close that windows and on main window, will see in console that firmware is prapairing for flashing.
-Phone is still connected in flash mode, and flashing will start automaticly when firmware is ready.
Have patience! Prepairing and flashing took around 10 mins for my PC.
3rd Bypass FRP ( google account security lock)
-check FlashTool console if flashing status is DONE, and if it is, unplug your device and power it up.
-now download the video file ( Bypass Google Account SONY Xperia Z5 - How to Remove FRP Lock.mp4 ) and follow the steps as it is shown.
On the last step when you have to switch from GUEST to Owner user, my device just frozen on waiting screen, and after 5-6 minutes screen went disturbingly black, like it is dead and went OFF.
I power it up and voila, there was 2 steps to complete setting up of the new phone.
4. If you want you can unlock your bootloader now (if it is available by SONY) and use custom roms, root and etc.
-go to dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*#*
-tap Service info” go to “Configuration ” go to ” Rooting Status.
-if Boot loader unlock allowed says ” Yes” then you can follow below guide. If it says NO - sorry, you can't unlock your bootloader.
-you need your IMEI number, You can check it in settings menu or dial *#06#.
-turn on OEM Unlocking and USB debugging options in Settings > Developer options. (To enable Developer options menu, go to Settings > About phone , and tap several times on Build number.)
-switch off your Sony Xperia Z5 Premium by pressing power button.
-now connect phone in fastboot mode. To do so, you must hold Volume UP and plug device to PC.
-next go to https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and finish the steps using your IMEI to get unlock KEY from Sony.
When you have the key, you will see instructions on the same site, what command you have to use in fastboot ADB. To get in Fastboot ADB:
-on your PC go to the folder (C:/adb/) where you installed minimal ADB and fastboot, hold shift + Right click, choose Open command window here.
-check if device is propperly connected. Write in CMD : fastboot devices . Your device should be listed there if it is connected in fastboot mode.
-now you have to write the command, same as on Sony site with the key: fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x“your unlock code”.
example : – fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x87eb234h6212g5646
-If it says OK [time] finished , you are done well.
After bypass FRP you can flash Android 7.0, there is no problem or security issues.

Guide is awesome. Only problem now, bypassing the Google account video does not work with Nougat which is what the flashtool downloaded by default for me.
Is there any other way please?
EDIT UPDATE: I found a way with another video on YouTube. Maybe could use this one also to update your guide. It worked for me. I thank you once again for this awesome guide, helping me to reset this phone.

Read 2nd step in instructions! First of all you have to downgrade the Android version !
thanks for bootloader unlocking method. For frp bypass you can follow this guide ~ http://www.frpghost.com/2017/03/sony-xperia-frp-unlock.html
My bootloader cannot be unlocked via Sony as my rooting status says NO. (Phone has Android 7.1.1) so even with your instructions I cannot root the phone and or downgrade to Android v7.0. Is this correct?

You should be able to flash OE rom and downgrade using 2nd step!
What you want to to ? Bypass FRP ? root? or ?

This is what I don't get it, my Z5P says NO in bootloader, so even so, can I do this process to unlock? or definitely i can't unlock it in any way
I haven't started the process yet, because first I would like to know if I can still unlock it with this process even if it says no in the configuration menu.... I'm still on 7.1
