YES it will work perfectly fine as this is fully functional mobile but just for demonstration or demo use.
PURPOSE: Demo on Display, Company owned demo sets for promotion

LG has released the H850 for different geographical regions. The bootloader is only unlockable on the European version of the H850, and it's possible that your H850 is from one of the blacklisted regions. You can get some information by looking at the software version in "About Phone" in Settings. You're looking for something like "V10i-EUR-XX."
Now question is how can i unlock boot loader ? If i have different 850 model..so it means i cannot unlock boot loader by any means ? And cant instal any custom rom ever ?

Autoprime has published the definitive thread on unlocking the H850 bootloader here:

You may still be able to root you phone with instructions found here:

Dear All,
Please be advised that I have LG G5 H860 Dual SIM, and I want to know if there is any way to unlock the Bootloader because I would like to flash TWRP and test some custom ROMs?!
Thanks.

Tmobiles rs988 and h850 eur are the only ones if it is not one of those three you are out of luck...
I have an Australian LG G5 H850 and I tried unlocking the bootloader but it's not supported for Australian models. I still would like to root it. I've read that it is possible to root without unlocking bootloader. How can I do this? I've tried kingoroot/kingroot as my last resort which also failed.

all the variants from Australia is not supported (i have the optus variant) and i have confirmed this with lg support as well lg dev.
I've just received OPTUS instead of requested European model and considering sending it back to the seller. Do you think there is any real chance unlocking bootloader for OPTUS will be available in the future? Is LG have any positive history of allowing unlocking more models with time?

This was my first LG phone and first phone that came with a locked bootloader. From what I've read there's next to no chance that LG will expand the list of models that can have their bootloader unlocked any time soon :crying: stuck with this phone 1 more year.
Is it possible to distinguish Australian from European without turning it on? Is there any signs on box? At a glance nothing at Australian box tells it's not an usual H850 - model everywhere marked as "H850" without any suffixes. Is European model marked in some other way, like "H850.EUR" on box?
hello,
I received today my new lg v30 + H930DS and I would like to know how to unlock the bootloader install TWRP ... because I find solutions for the H930G version but nothing for the H930DS
Sorry, it's not on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list.
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
Either needs to be on the official LG unlock list or someone needs to find a bootloader unlock exploit.

not yet mate.. we're on the same boat here :laugh:
just wait patiently and hope for the best :fingers-crossed:
it is most likely never possible to unlock the bootloader of H930DS ? and it will never be on the LG list as suitable for unlocking the bootloader.
Why will LG do so? for a market is possible , and for others not?

Yes. There are variants that will never be possible. At least that has happened with the G6.
I did not buy the DualSim just for not having root... and I use 2 numbers :'(
Fellow Aussie here,
Same here peeps. Nothing yet. Sent an email off to LG in Australia, as well as LG Devs asking why it's not on the list. HOPEFULLY I'll get a response soon.
I'm pretty sure the answer is no but does ANYONE know if I can root my SM-N981U? I did get the recent updates automatically and I'm currently running UI v 3.1, bootloader v 2 and android 11. If its NOT possible does anyone know if anyone's working on it? Any help would be AWESOME!! I also have no idea how to turn the bootloader off if rooting is possible so help there would be nice. Thanks in advance!
Your model number ends with "U" which indicates that it's a U.S. variant
U.S. variants always get their bootloader hard locked and can't be unlocked via regular means. Root requires that you unlock your bootloader.
There was a paid service that offered to unlock U.S. variant bootloader here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/
But I'd ask first if I was you. Other than that, I don't think you'll be able to root.

Service is still going but his is updated to far to do.
I currently have both the T-Mobile version and I purchased an unlocked version from BestBuy.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/oneplus-nord-n200-5g-blue-quantum-64gb-unlocked-blue-quantum/6468089.p?skuId=6468089
Are there physical differences to these two phones or are they just running different software?
EDIT I looks like its not possible to unlock the bootloader of the T-Mobile version just yet and I have been doing some searching and it looks like the unlocked version is closer to being unlocked. If anyone can confirm a way to bootloader unlock either I would appreciate it.
My end goal here is to get access to Unlocked/Uncapped tethering without having to use a 3rdparty app or companion app. The ability to flash custom ROMs and root access. But also the ability to flash back to a 100% stock rom.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
EDIT I see now you can get the bootloader unlocked on both version by sending a token to Oneplus and waiting 7 days.

The only physical difference is that the T-Mobile version has the IMEI engraved onto the back of the phone while the unlocked variant does not and the original boxes are slightly different.
Both phones run different software. It is possible to flash the unlocked ROM to the T-Mobile version of the phone after unlocking the bootloader, but that breaks OTA.

You may find this useful with the T-Mobile variant: CLICK HERE
All the info you need to get your bootloader unlocked for the T-Mobile variant.
There's even a single adb command that will ungrey the OEM unlock option in the developer settings without a SIM unlock (you'll still need the unlock token from OP though):
The Quest for a Bootloader Unlock (partial guide, T-Mobile variant, may work for MetroPCS/Metro variant)
OK, this process has been hell, but I'm gonna try and consolidate everything I've worked out so far in one place. This all applies only to the T-Mobile variant (ie. it comes preloaded with all the T-Mobile bloatware) of the N200 on the T-Mobile...
forum.xda-developers.com
does unlocked version has dual sim capability and dual sim tray??
I'm trying to do the same thing with the N200 for a hostpot @xVoidx . I'm curious if you succeeded, and what ROM did you end up using to do it?
I have this phone fully bootloader unlocked. can someone direct me to a tmobile variant rom? or something thatll change it from tmobile to unlocked?
