H818P for now. If your phone is similar to H818P and you could successfully flash H818P firmware in your phone. You can use the patched aboot.

Can someone give an example how to find Out what to Type for "<your aboot partition>" ?
Sounds amazing. Please provide the details about the patch meaning what have you done exactly to get that patched aboot?Hi guys!
Disclaimer:
No more secure boot error!
I thank my friend @cerg2010cerg2010 for helping me out in patching the aboot.
-> Requirements:
LG G4 LGH818P
Rooted Phone
-> Steps:
(1) Downgrade to Lollipop version of the Android. Download here.
(2) Root your device.
(3) Download the patched aboot file. Click Here.
(4) Connect your phone to the computer. In command prompt, type "adb shell".
(5) Transfer the aboot file into /sdcard/ folder.
(6) Type "su" to enter the root shell. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/aboot_237568.bin of=/dev/block/<your aboot partition>".
(7) Restart your phone by typing "reboot".
You have unlocked your bootloader!
Refer Notes for more information.
-> Notes:
1) The aboot_237568.bin is the patched version of aboot partition of your device. Secure boot validation has been patched such that secure boot is always valid, so you can flash your own TWRP and Custom ROM.
2) Don't upgrade to any updated version of Android if you get any through OTA update. It might brick your device.
Could you please download my latest TWRP beta(!) and provide me the recovery log? Or someone else of course
My latest beta is a unified variant and so should work for h818 as well but maybe I need some small adjustments..

Well I have to say I'm impressed. Share your method with us and spread unlock for all variants! G4 might finally reborn!

adb shell
ls -al /dev/block/platform/<change your folder name>/by-name
When you flash the patched aboot, the bootloader is unlocked. You don't need to do anything else.
Patched the secure boot validation function. The patched aboot has the secure boot set to always valid condition no matter what image you flash.Sounds amazing. Please provide the details about the patch meaning what have you done exactly to get that patched aboot?

Proably not. Aboot is part of kdz flashing.
This is fantastic news! H812 user from Canada here hoping you can make this patch process work for our aboot too!
As in case of g flex 2..
Everyone be warned..
The aboot on lg k10 is not signed
But in lg g4 there is a hash verification to aboot.
It may result in a hard brick.. so be warned

first of all , thats great news. this is the same method we use in h815 with the unlock.bin from lg but instead of pushing the file directly, we flash it in bootloader. clever and nicely done.
since its public you should share it the right way not like this. i mean this is not a development project, this is about unlocking and flashing twrp. it should be a DEVDB thread in general under utilities section so that everyone can find it. Also the title should be: "Unlock Bootloader H818".
As it is, in a week or two its gonna fall at a second page and in search results also almost noone is gonna find it cause of the title.
in the op tell them about mmcblk0pX. They are not all expert , they don't know mmcblk0pX in g4 is like our sdX in linux.
Tell them the ls command to find which mmcblk0pX is the right one or how to find it with a root explorer. As it is, its just gonna give them an error and gonna ask you everyday about that.
We need h818 users too. To be able to start developing for more variants its important. Cooperate with steadfasterX to correct bugs in twrp (if there are any).
This would be the 1st step to start flashing together with us , custom roms.
Finally , Welcome H818 users
