Hello Everybody
I have opened a petition demanding LG to unlock the bootloader of all the LG G6 variants.
The petition already attracted 100+ signatures and many comments.
https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...or-all-variants-of-unlocked-lg-g6-smartphone/
I have not used change.org previously and so i didn't know that i have to add a decision maker.
I think i can add a decision maker even now.
I was thinking to add either CEO or CTO of LG Mobilie.
I don't have their email addresses even if want to add. or i am not sure whether they would the appropriate point of contact
So, please suggest
My response - "xD"
I know it's an issue and it may piss off some of you but to be honest - good luck, really.
I remember old times with numerous Xperia-related petitions where people complaint about Android upgrades... lack of them to be precise.
Such petitions never worked and probably never will.
Best of luck
from EU H870 user with unlocked bootloader, TWRP and Fulmics ROM
SIGNED!
Please suggest point of contact in LG before signing the petition..
There is no point in getting support for this petition if none of them at LG did receive it.
Yes I do... ^_^

so this phone is exciting any one here?
spec wise dont look too bad especially with 1ghz snapdragon under the belt.
the only thing keeping me away from this phone is the lack of support of non-htc products in this forum. i might just wait for htc to release a phone similiar to lg expo or just get a hd2. i'm not sure whether spocky12 (who is cooking lg WM roms) would cook up a lg expo custom rom.
I must admit, I find this to be the big negative with XDA-Developers. Obviously, if HTC is the focus, then make it the focus.
But I own multiple phones, and it would be nice to have a section on this site to discuss my NEXT cell phone, the LG Expo, with other users here. I have no interest in leaving this community because I bought from another manufacturer. But if HTC doesn't sell the phone I want, what else am I to do?
So I'll make another post making this request, and it will likely be shot down because "that's not how we doing things here". But I ugre the owner's and moderators to reconsider. I love this site. I've learned a lot here, and tweaked the hell out of a LOT of phones here. Let me have a place to talk with fellow LG owners. Don't push me out.
Hi,
I just came across this thread at engadget.com:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/06/motorola-unlocked-bootloader-petition/
It's just another petition but for me reason enough to sign it. I think this should interest you, too, when you are still looking for some more freedom!
http://www.change.org/petitions/motorola-mobility-inc-unlock-all-smartphone-bootloaders-2#
I already signed that. Though it is probably not gonna do anything for our MS2, I still think all Moto owners should sign it.
Signed that one too. I still don't give up hope for Motorola to make me stay as a customer
Hello everybody!
I'm a LG G2 user, but i'm trying to unite all dissatisfied LG users to sign up to my petition, for more informations check my G2 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/petition-possibility-to-unlock-t2832013) or just read the quote from it:
Hello!
I don't know, maybe someone remembers me from P880 forum
Whatever - in that time the 4X HD had locked bootloader which no one was able to unlock it, so I decided to make a petition about it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852721). We succeed and we could unlock the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock in Jelly Bean update.
Now LG did it again, their G2 and G3 flagships as well as some other devices are locked as hell again. I decided today to reopen my petition and share this message to You guys so maybe we could get the unlockable bootloader again, or at least a way to unlock it like it is for example HTC phones.
Here's the link to the petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-...opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones
Let's have at least some hope for it, so we could get easier development and also G3 development could rise.
My reopened petition has 4031 supporters (for now) so it should be a little visible

(to moderators: yes, it's my copy/paste i make on few LG phones' sections, I don't spam, I just share the message to LG users and want to do something for community as I did in the past)
EDIT: I'm posting in G3's petition thread to prevent (my) spam, also G3 community is the most active, so that's why I decided to keep posting and updating there:

Great idea! I'm in...

If they unlock it we will be able to flash a GPE rom and get updates directly from Google.
Is a big dilemma for them.
PLEASE READ!!!
I'm taking this action to the next level, I want to make this as public as possible, so maybe LG finally will do something!
Please upvote this reddit topic on /r/Android, everyone has to hear about it, LG must change their behaviour like Motorola did!

we need to push it to the mainpage!
Hi all,
I'm contacting AT&T and LG Mobile to force them to release the KDZ and TOT for our LG G5.
I had thought about starting a petition for it, what do you guys think about it?
Anyone had luck with getting some answeres that might end up with AT&T releasing these files?
BTW, I used to own a Motorola Milestone in the past, and some forum member succeeded on cracking Motorola's bootloader, maybe he will help us here as well (I had PM him about this topic, let's hope he will give it a shot).
Thanks,
Mor

Please, help us spread the word, it's a petition for all LG G5 devices, not only AT&T's one.
Meanwhile, I'm trying my luck reaching out for more assistance within AT&T and LG focal points.
I will sign the petition if you make one
I contacted them about this and they said that LG has the firmware, the I contacted lg and they said ATT has it, so i don'tknow
Kinda good news.
Yesterday I spoke with "oneclickroot" support team and tried figuring out if they will try to assist with rooting our LG G5.
The dev support APPROVED that they are working on it and it will take some time (crappy AT&T and Nougat's security).
About the petition, before I'm opening one, anyone else got some other ideas?
Thanks,
Mor

Yes, kidnap senior AT&T exec and hold them for ransom. I'll bet we'd have root within 24 hours.
Ha ha, seems like a plan.
But, I'll pass this offer and try other ideas
Well, I had draft the initial petition design.
I need your help dear community to sharpen it.

Last year, the LG G5 was released to the market.
Tons of new features, top notch SOC and the first flagship that offered HW modification.
All the community of developers and end users was happy and excited to create ROMs, kernels etc.
But, unfortunately, LG with cooperation with the massive Carriers agreed to lock the bootloader​.*
A year later, only two variets received the unlocked bootloader and all the rest left behind with a dying LG G5 community.
Our demend is that LG will unlock the bootloader and provide a TOT tool. Let us be free of the locked garden chain!
---
Let me know what do you think about it.
*UPDATE!*
Petition had been published - please spread the word.
there are a lot of LG G5 users, let's try to make a change - together we can make it.

Added a link there.
I guess we should switch our conversation and updates to the general dev forum

We might can get a bootloader unlock.. But we WONT get a TOT/KDZ directly from LG or AT&T. Remember all those files are only meant INTERNAL use only. LG doesn't publicly post these files.

You think we will get the bootloader unlock?
this phone is dead while another variants are celebrating their freedom
Signed.
My big mistake I bought an at&t variant. I was thinking its a USA based model and will be better than others. I was totally wrong. Never ever buy a phone on at&t contract. Worse choice ever I selected.
I am too thinking that It's a big mistake I bought an at&t variant.
Why AT&T not releasing Stock Roms etc. Whyy

I can't stand not having root anymore. I just listed my g5 up for sale, won't make this mistake twice. It's a shame, its not a half bad phone
hi! guys any update?
It was a random guy selling it by the train station where I lived. I was skeptical at first as it could've been stolen but at the end of the day I had my head am filming so I just took video of the transaction. Got it $15 cheaper than what the store was offering it for with a discount with a month of activation. Sounded fair to me.
The screen is what sold me. So much space to it. A Google search later and I was sold on it from the processor, screen size, and internal space. For $35 it wasn't bad.
Tinkering with it these few months has been nice. I've never owned an LG device before this one, can't say I will after though. I'm a Samsung/ZTE kind of guy. Those companies love the developers.
LG released source code like 4-5 months after the phones release, which really sucked development wise. We were pretty much screwed from the getgo.
A year later and there's not much development done for it but we do have the people making the effort still and that is what development is about. The ability to keep trying g no matter how long it takes. Who knows? Maybe we will find something new, or maybe LG will give us a new platform update (mm or n).
In the meantime, I still carry 2 phones as this one is just to tinker on.
Why did you get this phone?

This thread is not designated for this discussion you're bringing. This is a discussion on why users have obtained this device, reason why exactly people got it. What they expected from it.
As for your comments, I did not take them personally, I took them personally on behalf of the developers and users of the forum. As a community we must work together, not tear down whatever foundation is existent.
As for your participation, from my knowledge you helped with the as330 model as best as anyone could, but the ms330 model - you copied a couple posts which did more harm than good. Multiple threads of the same information to newcomers confuses them.

I got this phone because I had upgraded from the LG L90 with T-Mobile JUMP. The lady told us it was a better phone in the store. It's really not that much different tho. I still like this phone though.
