G7(Sim Unlocked LM-G710ULM) Bootloader unlock and/or root?

[East_Arctica]

Hey guys i just got this with the ULM model and was wondering if anyone had a bootloader unlock for it. also if possible a root

There are rumors of a new bootloader unlock for G710ULM but I haven't tried it myself. If you decide to go for it let us know.

I managed to unlock my bootloader with some help from the telegram group

Yes, there's a new unlock method posted on one of the famous Russian forums. I haven't tried it, but it involves booting once with a rooted boot image, using root and a root adb terminal to overwrite the bootloader with an unlockable one, unlocking the bootloader, and copying the original boot loader back. It seems fairly straightforward, though, as I said, I've not tried it.

Yes, thats a very good explaination of it

Link to the method?

As far as I can tell the method has only been posted in the G7 Telegram group. I think I'm not allowed to link to the group invite, but if you Google for an LG G7 Telegram group you should be able to find it and get access to the group.

This thread is kind of old, but I found this thread before I found the latest and best one, which is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568
The answer to OP is YES it is possible to unlock bootloader on ULM and other G7 models, and the instructions are in the thread above ^
