LG G5 SE (H840) Bootloader unlock released - LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion

LG have today released the bootloader unlock for the European G5SE (H840), as seen on their bootloader unlocking site, which I cannot post due to post restrictions.
Finally, G5SE owners can get much desired (or deserved?) root!

You guys can only unlock your bootloader's currently, no TWRP yet and therefore no root or custom roms. Here's the bootloader site:
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Once you have done that you will have an unlocked bootloader but will just have to wait for someone to build TWRP for your device. Once that's done then you can flash SuperSU or magisk from TWRP to root. Also once that's done, you might get custom ROM support (you will have to ask @King_lilrowrow if he can add support for the h840 se to lineageos).

Wow! good news! it's amazing how much time it took LG to release it.
Now let's hope they will unlock G5 H820's bootloader.

Great news. Now waiting for TWRP for H840!!

Not every version of the 840 will be unlockable or unlockable right away. The h850 is also supported but yet only the EU open version, other h850 can't unlock. It is up to LG to add which versions they want to allow to unlock. If it doesn't work saying it's not supported or not allowed, try again later or contact LG and pray they add unlocking support for that specific version, although I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Also, I'm assuming TIM is your carrier, if so and it's a carrier version instead of unlocked h840 se, it most likely won't be unlocked. Again, try and give it time and try again and hopefully you have luck.

My device is LGUS997, and either way isnt H870 variant unlockable too? anyone else face this issue?

No, you can't.
Even if you could do that it wouldn't allow you to unlock the bootloader, it's not the firmware, but the id and imei that identifies the device.
@KiLLau96 i dont know how you have the tolerance to answer question about DS G6's every second day. I get frustrated repeatedly reading the same question that have been answered a million times. PS I'm a DS owner.

Prime Exclusive G5 plus

Hello I bought the Prime exclusive moto g 5 plus 64gb storage and 4gb of ram .
THIS ONE.
According to this post I'll not be able to root it, unlock boot loader or install a custom recovery, is this true??, it seems like a normal xt1687 (mine is xt1687 too acording to fastboot) in my opinion, is there any difference between mine and a non-amazon one??.
I downloaded the G5 plus toolkit and got the unlock boot loader information with no problem, also found an option in developer settings section that says "OEM UNLOCKING (Allow boot loader to be unlocked)"
What versión do you have? Xt1687? If your answer is yes, youll able to root unlock etc, i know cuz i have the same version. Greetings

You have to go through Motorola to get the code to unlock the bootloader. They will know whether you have an Amazon Prime device, and I don't believe they will give you the code. At least I believe that was the issue when the phone originally came out.

LG G6 Korea LGM-G600L custom ROM

Hi, I'm currently using the Korea version of the LG G6, LGM-G600L and after a quick browse, I can see that I can unlock my phone bootloader and install TWRP, the last thing concern me is the lack of custom ROM for LGM-G600L, and I wonder if I can flash customer ROM for EU or US version without any problems? Has anyone tried it?

Koren model of the G6 can't be unlocked, only H870 european version and US977 unlocked version. But root is possible in H872, H870 and US977. If you flash another version ROM you can brick your device or may work but with some errors, it is recommended to not do it.

I can see the switch allow OEM unlock in the developer options, inn't that is the option to allow for unlock bootloader?
But it's sad to know that I can't flash custom ROM, guest I should investigate further before buying new phone.
Thanks for the info.

You can have the option in the developer settings, but if the official LG website doesn't provide the unlock.bin file for your model (it's the case) you can't unlock the bootloader.

Any way to carrier unlock the AT&T V35?

Without AT&T's help?
No, you can contact AT&T, https://www.att.com/deviceunlock
Yes you can. I've done it with a site called unlockplus.
Here you go. Flash one of these KDZ to carrier unlock the phone. You want the ones that say "open" -- which means they are not locked to a carrier.

Top link is for North America Google Fi variant.
Bottom link is for Central/South America -- but if you use that, you do NOT want Claro. You want the other one (carrier unlocked) MIA.
Yeah, flashing an unlocked firmware won't unlock this device. Why in the world would you post something ridiculous like this? How can you have 8185 posts and not know what unlocking means? smh

Just so you know, you're replying to a guy who (besides other feats) made it possible for anyone to carrier unlock virtually any LG V30 model no matter what carrier it was on previously. And that was made exactly by crossflashing. So yeah, I would kinda listen to him.

Because that's EXACTLY how we carrier unlock the LG V30/V30+. We flash carrier unlocked firmware over carrier locked firmware -- specifically AT&T and Sprint variants. The principle should be the same with the AT&T LG V35.
Besides the two carrier locked North American LG V30 phones (AT&T & Sprint), some of the European LG V30 are also carrier locked. Cross flashing the region appropriate "open market" firmware carrier unlocks them.
I haven't done it on LG V35, but I've done it many, many times on the predecessor LG V30/V30+.
We flash V30 firmware and forth at will to carrier unlock the phones, get fastboot flash commands, bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root. The simplest of all these goals is carrier unlock.

He says it won't work. Whereas I've carrier unlocked several LG V30/V30+ doing EXACTLY that. And so have hundreds of other people. I've written a couple of guides on the subject.
While I've not done it on LG V35, I suggested this method because it seems reasonable and logical based on the immediate V30 predecessor.
Something similar (cross flashing) also worked on the LG V20. However, in both cases we had Dev Patched LGUP to use. IF it doesn't work for the LG V35, that would be why -- because perhaps the appropriate .dll has not been used to create LG V35 dev patched LGUP.
I can't guarantee it will work on LG V35, the way I can guarantee it does for the LG V30.

You can flash it and it will boot (not dead, frozen or stuck in Qualcomm 9008 mode like when you normally flash mismatched firmware, picks up signal fine)
Yes I am aware of how to unlock G6, V30 and G7 by flashing a different firmware and I have unlocked several HUNDRED of them. Even LS998 on V22B firmware.
This will flash successfully (I use Octopus tool, the newest LGUP tool is not released so can't do it that way) but it will still show the V350AWM model and will still be locked to AT&T. Only it will remove the AT&T bloatware.
It is a good solution to flash these if you brick your device. But it won't unlock them.

1) Well debloating V35 is at least one advantage others will like, even if it won't carrier unlock it -- and this answer is much better than your first attempt. Can you also now access the bootloader on the V35 and do fastboot flash commands work when, once you flash the open market KDZ? Cross flashing carrier locked North America V30/V30+ to open market US998 allows this, besides carrier unlocking them.
2) If you are aware of how to to carrier unlock AT&T H931 V30 and Sprint LS998 V30/V30+ by flashing different firmware -- like to the US998 V30 open market KDZ -- as well as other LG phone series (G6/G7) using the same technique, and you say you have carrier unlocked "several hundred" by using that technique (with Octopus box, it seems), then your previous insulting post looks like it was written by someone totally ignorant of this Frankenstein process which we use every day to carrier unlock phones like this...

I have pulled the RSA certs from every model V35, G7, and V40 that are currently available, and LG learned their lesson from the WTF V30 exploit .. they use different certs for every model.
If you have cross flashed the V35, or G7 .. you are only flashing boot and system. If you had flashed an RSA signed partition, you would have had a brick.
I will be glad to post the certs if you like.
-- Brian
Oh sorry I didn't mean it to be insulting at all but flashing these files will not unlock it.
I'm new on this forum. Sorry for being disrespectful.. Everyone is very thankful to you Only WTF? Why would you suggest to flash something if you never tried it before?
To flash I did flash these firmwares but I used Octopus box (super highly recommended)
Lets do something constructive here though. If you have signed cert files let me test it. I have a couple AT&T V350AWM, we can brick them, it is OK. I'll load anything and post results here.
Again sorry about insulting retort but a forum like this should have only 100% clean reliable info.
Hello everyone,
I just bought a LGV35 form eBay for a few bucks but has bad imei is there any chance that I can unlock the phone? I want to use it outside USA, any idea or can somebody help me?

Interesting, since the G7 and even V35 was released before V30 WTF was discovered (mid-May 2018). @TxanMoe started the WTF thread with his "crazy" story May 14 -- and you helped him unbrick his phone soon after that. I wrote the WTF instructions on May 21.
Well, V35 was released beginning of June 2018, but it was already in the pipeline by May 2018.
The RSA stuff for every variant is probably more an extension of what LG started with T-Mobile H932...
Very sad.

Well, let me clarify. I have only been able to check models that have a KDZ that I can pull the certs from. Any model that either never has KDZ (AT&T or Sprint), or if a KDZ isn't publicly available yet .. I haven't been able to check since I can't get anyone to dump abl.
I will try to post a list of the ones I have checked when the holidays are over.

How did you go about unlocking it? Did you buy it from ATT without a contract.. Did you use an unlocking service or from att directly for unlock?

If you put an AT&T MVNO sim in it, it should update. When I put a Red Pocket Mobile (MVNO) sim in my v35 along with wifi working, it updated the software to version V350AWM10w even though the phone was not yet activated on the red pocket network. If you can find a pre-paid AT&T sim, it should also work, but I'm guessing there.
(note, my v35 is locked to AT&T, I wonder if your phone being unlocked might have some other 'thing' that might be stopping it from updating)
