I don't think you can, at least for now. Festive sale units are imported from from vietnam and don't have fastboot mode enabled in firmware.

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.

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.

H930G is V30+. Single SIM.
Sold in Italy (even available for official LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list) and Israel (not eligible for the LG official bootloader unlock).
This new exploit does not need LG's permission, of course.

Doesn't matter. It's already on US998. If Nougat, update to Oreo, bootloader unlock and root.
If already on Oreo US998, then just bootloader unlock and root.

So I am buying the one form B&H Photo listed as
LG V30S ThinQ 128GB Smartphone (Unlocked, Matte Moroccan Blue)
Will I be able to unlock the bootloader via the method provided on this site for unlocking bootloaders? Do I have the capabilities for an official unlock from LG? PLZ let me know, last thing I want is another phone I cant unlock the bootloader on.
Also one last question, if the phone an be bootloader unlocked, would I be able to flash roms that are for the v30, or do they specifically have to be for the v30s?
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME!!!

Yes, you will be able to unlock the bootloader on your V30S, in fact, I own a rooted one. You would have the official unlock, however LG doesn't always honor their promise of providing unlocks for all US carrier-open phones.
Your phone will be practically the same phone as an ordinary V30, you'll be able to normally flash any rom - be careful of flashing non-stock ones however(strong likelihood to bootloop). No roms need to be specifically for the V30S. You just have an updated version of the same V30 firmware. I have the same exact phone as you.
Hi guys im hoping someone can help me out, im in Australia and i want to buy an LG G8x LMG850EMW, preferably a European model so i can easily unlock bootloader.
I have only found some refurbished LMG850EMW on aliexpress and its a Global version - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...exp_id=d211a1d4-709d-42a9-a587-0e11c797eafb-6
(i have not seen any new ones for sale tho)
If anyone knows anything about how to get a European model specifically pls let me know, any help is greatly appreciated!
FYI - I have bought this phone from aliexpress and bootloader unlocked it. The problem is that you can't get into fastboot with it - there is a way I have managed to get into fastboot and unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/
The important step here is to flash abl!!! I didn't do that and couldn't get into fastboot!!! (I have unlocked and rooted LG G7 thinq - so I thought I knew what I was doing, clearly not!!!!)
