[UNLOCK] Unofficial bootloader unlock on it's way

[KonterBiER]

On twitter autoprime tweeted a few days ago

The incoming LG G4 unlock from LGVIET will be for "v0" qfuse only. Hope you USA users didn't take an ota. Congrats to LGVIET and company.

And later on this discussion:

[...]will work on all locked v0 G4's.. tho Verizon needs a bit of extra fiddling.

Maybe we will see unofficial unlock on all carrier devices soon

But what means "v0"? Where can I see whether my phone is "v0"?

So we will see the twrp bump for all the g4 versions? WAAAOW

V0 has to do with the anti rollback flag that newer firmwares install. A newer firmware will change v0 to v1 or v2 etc. Flashing older firmware will make the phone very unhappy. It's why, on several US based phones, trying to downgrade will brick the phone COMPLETELY. Search for my PSA thread.

As far as I know this does not affect H815 international or am I wrong?

V0 is the shipped firmware that your device came with, at least it is with Verizon. I think the firmware version (for Verizon) is 10b. I've stayed on it this whole time so I'm hoping it pays off.

The guy that originally posted about the bootloader unlock has been really quiet though. I hope he plans to release.

Looks like I have a bit to wait. I checked it in your PSA thread before not knowing what it meant but now I do. I'm on v2. :/

For the most part I'm probably better off waiting for that official bootloader unlock if it should ever come.

Trying not to think of D3. v1.1 here, rooted, bloat gone, Google sms & keyboard, ota nutered, Tether & Mobil hotspot mod. G2 was so fast it tripped over itself. G4 with 8 cores? we are moving forward. Fingers crossed on bootloader unlock.

Is it worth unlocking now that marshmallow is not that far from coming up in our devices?

How to check bootloader

How do i check my boatloader version

 

[S1L3nTShaDoWz]

Will 11a work or should I just go ahead and sell this crap before my disappointment arrives?

 

[faizalotai]

You can checked by looking at this thread

if you have a USA G4 and ever took an OTA update (forced or manual) then you are not on v0.

11a was an OTA update.

For those asking what version they're on... see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62842317&postcount=16
notice the antirollback option at the very bottom. don't have that option? then you can't check with that menu.

If you ever flashed a KDZ to a USA G4.. then you are no you are not at v0. All USA KDZ's are at least v1.

95% of all the USA G4 users are at v1 or higher. Unless you went out of your way to block OTA updates on the device within the first few weeks of releases.. it's probably already taken an update or two.

If you have a non-USA G4 then you are on v0.

Hi Autoprime,
Attached is my screenshot of AT&T LG G4 H810 running 10g and rooted. It says the Sub S/W version is 0....does that indicate the anti-rollback feature is NOT enabled, i.e., I might be on v0 and therefore unlock my bootloader?

you're v1

I bought Verizon G4 last week and it came with 11a.

So I guess it was forced before I bought it. If I'm reading correctly, I would not be able to unlock the boot loader. Correct?

correct, at least a bootloader unlock method made for v0 devices. v1+ isn't impossible... but less likely someone will post an exploit for those devices any time soon.

This doesn't apply to the H811 correct? I thought our bootloader was unlocked from the start.

correct

What if we were att bricked an was forced pr firmware
Because im new to this all an also is h810Pr10A v 1 or nah thanks in advance

v1

That sucks, oh well. Congrats to everyone else then .
