Can someone please post a screenshot inside of the about phone info screen for their device. If this is indeed the European model firmware for our device than in theory it should be able to be rooted. If anyone is going to indeed attempted rooting through this exercise Extreme Caution please I would prefer no one actually ending up with a brick after this awesome find. After all this could be the lucky break we needed

Guys I'm thinking we can't root from this, this appears to be the ULM firmware. Not the g710EM firmware that had the unlockable bootloader.
It looks like occasionally after flashing to unlock it gets stuck at LG G7 thinq screen hard reset doesn't fix and re flashing again doesn't either if someone fixes it let me know it happened 1 out of 7 times so far
Can you please provide a link for the LG octuplus? I only see the one for kdz. First time I've seem this. Thanks for sharing.You made me connect the dots thanks i figured it out.
Use octopus newest version of lg software and select model G710EM then use this kdz https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W14Y-jbvnwDt4UOfitni8hDGfwYsXesV/view write the firmware then its unlocked.
I tested it worked perfectly
I dont think there is patched dll yet still have to wait for that i believe
Flash 2 phones. 10a and 11a. All works fine.

you nee buy a box for use Octoplus shell (~150$)
Wow so it would cost at least $150 to unlock the phone? Are there proven unlock services that could it it for less? Seems wasteful to use it for unlocking one phone
Its mainly for re sellers who do thousands of phone just wait a little till some one makes dll then its free on lgup
I just mine on eBay an now it's a international g7 no wdcma
Yep from what i know there is no cdma on the unlocked devices if you look on amazon for the factory unlocked one it says gsm only no cdma
you dont need to buy the tool you can buy the unlock service for $40 in ebay
For everyone trying the method i posted earlier after done flashing you must hard reset the phone because the storage on the phone will say 16GB after flashing but if you hard reset it will go back to 64GB
I don't think Sprint Phones have an option to unlock via PIN code like ATT
Did you unlock by using ebay unlocking service for your Sprint G7? If you did, can you please share the link?
Thanks,
its done with software not with a unlock pin/code, you can search in ebay: lg g7 sprint unlock and you will find the services
The guy on ebay does the same method i have described if you dont want to invest the money into an octoplus box then you can wait until modded dll comes out for g7 or pay him the money to do it for you
Can someone provide proof that other firmware can be installed?
Obviously most people dont have the European versions and they are scared to flash the eu firmware.
We really need someone to do it and also provide proof (a photo of the bootloader).
I cant since i have the European version.
And if something wrong happens after you install the eu firmware just hold volume up while restarting on usb.
It should take you back to download mode.
Please, or we cant do anything about it.
