Oh, and seems like we will get 4.1.2 in few days.

Well those are good news - I suppose

I got a global version of the phone - bought in Australia. Reckon it can still unlock its bootloader using the EUR kdz?

As dexter_nlb has said. The unlock method is probably on LG`s website or it is released as a tool or something. Where you have to agree to warranty-loss

Nope. I think it will be like in P990 (2X), they gave new bootloader with new version of firmware. And that new bootloader is unlockable via nvflash or somethin'.. I haven't read about that. Whatever, that won't be a method after we lose warranty.

@down yep, somethin' like that. They will just open the way to unlock it. Or they'll do somethin' that we don't know about for now.
The question is, how it will be if they will do like it was with 2X? nvflash didn't work with our phone, it will be suddenly start working? o.o
Anyway, if the new bootloader will be attached to V20A .kdz, then You, Dexter will be able to unlock our phone? 'cause kholk as we know won't do it, we have to wait to His 'recovery'

i believe i am correct, if you believe that "something or nvflash" is the provided LG solution to unlock the device, This is similar to an App or a partition that unlocks it. Options are many, but an external program (app / nvflash / kdz flasher ) will be the solution to unlock. i do not think OTA update alone will open it.

L7 with a different chipset, still got it opened by flashing a partition with bootloader, so lg do not make it easy.
