I Give Up, Have To Ask-Can TMo H872 Be Bootloader Unlock/Rooted?

[jayinc11]

Guys I am coming from GNote 3 so I am not very familiar with LG devices. Been searching, but now I have to ask before making a purchase. Can the Tmo H872 be BL unloacked/rooted or not?
I know the US997 is the way to go or 870 (rare in US). But I am also seeing better deals on the H872. So before pulling the trigger I just want to confirm first.

on the LG dev site this is all I see, but is there a way to unlock the H872?

Yes. But I see this guy on UT, Android Explained, here, seems to imply TMo allows their H872 BL unlocking. All you have to do is DL minimal ADB and issue fastboot unlock BL command, no BL unlock code required. Is this true? Again new to LG and trying to be prior-active if you will.

Huh.

This https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/unlock-bootloader-tmo-t3578099 says the same as UT. I am on US997. Sure seems too easy, but hey what do I know? Have you posted over on the TMo forum?

Yes, I am on T-Mobile H872 rooted and bootloader unlocked, with a custom ROM. There's a thread called lafsploit (something along those lines) by runningnak3d, he made a detailed guide on all the steps.
