Right now we need a new thread(or clean the mess in OP) with clear instructions how to do that(backup/relock partitions) I can't wait to play with custom ROMs on that beast
I want real sound and no more logd draining my battery
Bear with me, I will open a new thread and/or edit OP with video and clear instructions asap!Right now we need a new thread(or clean the mess in OP) with clear instructions how to do that(backup/relock partitions) I can't wait to play with custom ROMs on that beastI want real sound and no more logd draining my battery
Great! Can't wait to see it on thread list [emoji14] I want to flash lineageOS [emoji14]Bear with me, I will open a new thread and/or edit OP with video and clear instructions asap!
edit: I now have the unlock.bin for my device, so i will document the whole process from oem locked phone, backup partitions, unlock and relock.
Lol! Everything is public already. If you check my post, all details are there... I'm still alive so LG hitmen are not so efficientMaybe this OP got "taken care of" by LG as well.
It's ok. All I want to do is unlock my bootloader, not relock. Mostly because I can't unlock it in the first place. Still waiting on that unlock method in the other thread...Lol!

@blake_spector will provide a detailed step by step post, but if you're in a hurry and know what you're doing, you should be able to use the info I posted.

As Blake said, I'm afraid you won't be able to unlock bootloader anyway, unless someone wants to publish his own partitions for you to flash and his unlock.bin file, then it will workLG hitmen. . .
Sorry for the delay, was just a bit busy. Also it is a little bit of work to make things neat and pretty, but the guide is almost ready!
@LaughingCarrot - It includes showing how to unlock the bootloader using the official LG method via unlock.bin - if your device doesn't support that method i'm afraid the guide won't be very useful to you anyways.
Since unlock.bin and the pre-unlock backup partitions are somewhat bound to the IMEI and Device-ID I'm not sure if that's something one should make available for public download . . .As Blake said, I'm afraid you won't be able to unlock bootloader anyway, unless someone wants to publish his own partitions for you to flash and his unlock.bin file,then it will work
Exactly that's why that other guy who wanted the bounty is quiet now. I wouldn't like to publish my partitions to public, but maybe someone would pay for it and someone would be that 'kind' enough to share them that way.Since unlock.bin and the pre-unlock backup partitions are somewhat bound to the IMEI and Device-ID I'm not sure if that's something one should make available for public download . . .
I would really like to try those shenanigans just for the sake of it . . . I checked local classified ads, but used G4s are still ~180 EUR around here. That's sadly a bit too much for a "toy".
Obviously you are unable to unlock the bootloader with any other unlock.bin that is not the exact "device-associated" (IMEI, ID) file generated by LG!
However, it would be quite interesting to find out what happens if you flash the pre-unlock misc, persistent and drm partitions to another already unlocked phone . . .
Of course it would... It's like replacing eMMC...Even then i dont think so. Unlock.bin is for specific device with imei and device id so my unlock.bin simply wont work in any other devices.

There will not work. I was replacing the motherboard under warranty but before that I wrote device_id old motherboard and I had downloaded unlock.bin who was not able to unlock the bootloader on the new one so what are we talking about.Exactly that's why that other guy who wanted the bounty is quiet now.

because they might have changed LG serial or IMEI?There will not work. I was replacing the motherboard under warranty but before that I wrote device_id old motherboard and I had downloaded unlock.bin who was not able to unlock the bootloader on the new one so what are we talking about.

I'm afraid things aren't as simple as that. Actually we are quite lucky that simply flashing cust/misc/drm allows to revert the bootloader state.maybe someone [ . . . ] would be 'kind' enough to share them. Of course it would... It's like replacing eMMC...
I was replacing the motherboard under warranty but before that I wrote device_id old motherboard and I had downloaded unlock.bin who was not able to unlock the bootloader on the new one.
Fun fact, they replaced my motherboard under warranty - but i still have the same IMEI.because they might have changed LG serial or IMEI?
I see. Well thx, good to know!My imei is the same . But device_id was changed and i wasnt able to unlock bootloader. I had to write email to lg developers to update their database.
[ . . . ] during unlock, the bootloader checks if the unlock.bin is valid by trying to decrypt it with LG public key. If it is able to decrypt it, it ensures that the unlock.bin has been encrypted using LG private key and is coming from LG servers, it will then assume that it should operate unlocked.
Noone actually knows... Everything is possible but who knows... Maybe someone will come with unlock method somedayWill the unofficial unlock method be released ?
