Bootloader unlockable? - AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers

I've only seen information regarding the T-Mobile version having an unlockable bootloader. Is there any word on the AT&T version?

I'd love to know as well. Might have to go to T-Mobile if they have it truly unlocked

I have the ATT version and dev options has the OEM unlock option.

Hi Mojar, thanks for the response. Pardon my ignorance because I don't know how the process works - does that confirm the AT&T version can be rooted?

As far as I know, I could be wrong, if there is an OEM unlock option in the dev option. chances are they "may" be a hope for root access.

Well you guys can try to see if you can boot into fastboot and input the command to check if the bootloader is indeed unlockable

well i tried to get into fastboot from the tmobile steps and no go aparently att left out fastboot even with the oem unlock option checked, we only have download mode

If you browse the t-mobile forums you'll see they arent able to flash anything for root/recovery

Still no root for the LG G5 H820 (AT&T) Marshmallow 6.0.1?

No, your best bet if you really need root is to sell your ATT LG G5 and purchase an unlocked Tmobile version.. Looks like it will be sometime for the ATT version to gain root

[Q] Unlocked bootloader?

Can you please tell me how do I check if I have an unlocked bootloader?
I read that some of the GT-P7510 wifi do have it unlocked... I would like to verify mines. Thanks.

If you're asking.. then you don't. (no, really, I'm not kidding).
When you boot the tablet there will be a little unlocked lock on the bottom of the screen
Mine is unlocked but I don't know what the benefits of it are

Ya, I figured. For reference, an unlocked bootloader looks like:

From my little knowledge, an unlocked bootloader allows you to load custom/unsigned ROMs/kernels into phones. However, nobody knows for sure what it means yet... on a Tab tablet. Any gurus, please step in and add more info.
I would like to know if there is a procedure to unlock the bootloader on my P7510.
Google shows some sort of solution but for a 10.1 tablet that does not look at all like the retail one I have.
Thanks for your help.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom ROMs/kernels. What you need for that is a custom recovery.
You mean like CWM 4.0.0.4? So what does a unlocked bootloader does then?
Personally, I would love to have my tablet as open as possible. Thanks for explaining.

Bootloader question

Can anyone confirm if Euro version of G5 has unlocked bootloader ?
If yes are we going to see same leven of developement as 6p for this phone ?

seems locked but unlockable :/
From the LG Developer Forum:
Hello,
We are planning to support bootloader unlocking for LG G5 for the European market with model number H850 soon.
It will be available this month.
When it's ready, we will let you know via our website.
Thank you.

The EU version is locked out of the box, but some folks are getting email responses from LG stating that they have plans to unlock that version in the near future. They also state that there are no plans to unlock any other variant.
uh. two posts since i edited mine. i managed to get into the bootloader and provided a screen scan (using a scanner.. srsly..)
How come the fastboot oem unlock or fastboot flashing unlock commands don't work on the international model? or is it just me!

i just thought it was similar to the t mobile version where you could unlock however dm verify stops from flashing anything
T-Mobile USA variant has a "semi unlocked bootloader" because you can Unlock it successfully but only write commands on fastboot are disabled
.... Still for few time

yeah, when youre looking for a device, thats been out for a while, pop into one of its forums man. We all ***** and moan about the crap that happens and sing the songs of praise for the good stuff and wee are all BRUTALLY honest about how we feel about these devices. Dont hesitate to ask man, thats why we are here
it should be getting it very soon. the releases come out in waves. These waves contain IMEIs and they are deployed via the wave to update. Or you could get it from sammobile and flash it yourself. That is the XDA way. Do, or do not. There is no try.

It used to be that every known method of rooting required you to unlock your bootloader to flash custom stuff, which you can't do on U.S. models. But now, they found a workaround without unlocking it to gain root access. Look it up

Cant root Samsung Galaxy S9+ Snapdragon

I've tried following multiple guides to root my phone with IodeOS. However, anytime I try I keep getting various error messages. Most guides say I need to enable "OEM Unlock" in developer settings. I've had developer mode enabled for more than 7 days and still don't have this option. I've tried all the suggestions of turning off auto update and setting the clock back 7 days, checking for updates then turning the clock forward and checking for updates again, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Not sure it matters, but it was bought through Verizon.
you can't even unlock bootloader therefore no broad root method available. few years back there was combination ROM exploit Extreme Syndicate Root. but because downgrade is not possible, there is no deal for you
Yes you can unlock the bootloader even if on bit9 bootloader. My At&t S9+ is rooted. Its a service but you can unlock bootloader and root
United States Snapdragon devices do not have oem unlock..and if it shows up its useless
Extreme Syndicate is outdated.
