Nope, as happened on G5.
You probably have to wait an unofficial way to unlock the bootloader...

This is not true. VS995 is not officially supported on the LG Site: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
They simply found a way to do it unofficially, and this has been fixed with security patcher afaik

I am unable to boot into bootloader on ATT model :/
Lol as expected from Sprint and AT&T. Dont get me wrong, i wish they had bootloader unlocked because the more bootloaders unlocked for different carriers, the more chances to duplicate the amount of developments/roma/mosa/kernels etc.... Now, having only Tmobile as the only one with unlocked bootloader, well, devs who use carrier such as AT&T and Sprint might get further away from developments on LG V20. (I'm a LG V20 Tmobile variant owner)
im not to familiar with LG, but the correct way is to power off the device, hold volume down, insert USB cable?
one would think even if locked, it could still enter the bootloader. adb works, and when i reboot recovery, i get to recovery, but when selecting reboot bootloader, the device starts. interestingly enough, it will enter in adb sideload mode
With Google obviously not wanting unlocked handsets or rooted handsets to be common... This kind of thing is going to be the norm. Best to adapt, in the long term. The days of modding are being ended by Google

I would agree if not for the fact that the pixel phones can be unlocked

For the time being. As SafetyNet gets more common, Google will quit making them unlockable.
Granted i preordered my v20 expecting to run it unrooted stock.

Well, it's really only sprint, at&t, and more than likely Verizon. Fastboot mode doesn't even exist on the phone through the production software. T-Mobile is completely unlockable...

So this means no recovery for sprint variants, but is there still a possibility of systemless root using the LG up or bridge programs?

According to twitter there is a root being worked on by chainfire unsure of whether or not it will be for all variants or just unlocked bootloaders

T-Mobile is rooted because of bootloader unlock v.v not the other variants.

He said it was based on jcadduono's work and if jcadduono has a thread on here about getting root shell to push recovery on the TMobile variant after unlocking the bootloader.
time to return it!
Just a thought. A method over use getting around big red in the past . I purchased unlock able version of the the phone I wanted the note 5 . Umocked it rooted it . Then got my carriers Sim card and called to get it activated. It can be a pain but it can be done

I thought since we had the "enable OEM unlock" option like T-Mobile we would be good to go.. smh
I'm considering getting a G6 from AT&T and I'm curious if there's any chance it'll be unlockable. I haven't had an unlockable bootloader in three phones now and really missing it.
yeah you can count out on that on ATT\ VZW

count out on it = you'll probably never see customs roms or recovery

"count out on it" is a confusing way of saying 'no'. but thanks for the response. this is sadness
It shows that I can unlock my G6 from the developer menu like you do for the Nexus devices. I haven't hit the button yet since we don't have TWRP or Root.

But if you run
Fastboot oem unlock
It won't work, most likely. All phones have that option

Would be worth a shot. I have the option on my S7A but I don't have proper fast boot because Samsung <.<
IF it does get unlocked and rooted ill buy another.
Not sure why so negative. The LG v20 is currently being supported by team lineage along with older g5 g4 g3 g2 and older LG tablet. For the price the G6 is going for right now on at&t half off this month only I'm certain this is the best time to get in on new technology that's currently missing from my G3
The zero development for this device is why I'll be going back to HTC with the U 11.
the 870 bootloader was just unlocked by LG.... hopefully they follow history and unlock the US version next (870 is European I believe)
Greg
Let me know. LG-H871
I wish my h871 unlocked
Hello.
I can't seem to find the info, has the Canadian G6 been unlocked? Also are the US roms compatible with the H873? I'm considering getting one but want to be able to run custom roms.
Thanks!

Very much. Actually it seems someone is working on it in the bounty thread for H870DS
can the LG G6 be rooted and if it can how?
Yes and no. Try looking around this forum at least a LITTLE before you ask for help. There are plenty of guides.

It means some can and some can't. Go read the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/official-lg-g6-bootloader-unlock-t3614719
This tells you everything you need to know. If you still can't figure it out after that, you're probably better off not rooting.
LG G6 variants H870+US997 can have bootloader unlocked and be rooted with general ease.

Not completely correct. It depends where your US997 comes from. US Cellular US997 devices can't currently be unlocked.
Hello, I got LG G6. and due to the lack of updates, I want to unlock the Bootloader and Flash a ROM on the device.
I Got the H870 Model, is all the H870 models are unlockable?
How can I know the exact model of the phone (I saw there is H870DS or something like that too)?
Thanks in advance!

If your phone is H870 EU/UK then it is unlockable through LG official.
