Developer Claims to find Bootloader Unlock - Sprint LG G4

http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/h815-relock-bootloader-t3506634/post69838353
What do you guys feel? This is great news and it seems to be from a legitimate developer. He claims to be in the process of writing detailed instructions.

Oh boy this is getting exciting! I wonder if the current super-low prices for Sprint (and other previously unrootable variants) LG G4 will still be available after word gets out these can be unlocked, I think the stocks will sell out a bit faster and drive up the price... been seeing some crazy good prices recently.

Did you even bother to search or read before deciding to put words to page
No ROMs as we've got a locked bootloader.
Root - go and use your eyes please.

For God's sake - stop asking like you're a 3-year old and get off your lazy backside. All the answers have been discussed many times, so go and read
Firstly: Buying 4x isn't wasting your money
Actually unlocking boot loader voids your warranty, So anyway, buy any mobile other than lg if so interested in custom roms(Reason: No latest Lg devices are getting unlocked boot loaders.), It's a waste of money for you if some problem occures when you unlock boot loader during the 1st year of purchase.. And i think unlocking bootloader is not good thing until mobile goes outdated i.e, 2013, You can customize android in many ways so customize it. If sooo bored of stock, root your mobile....(Trust me i used S3 and LG 4X "I felt 4X very stylish and smashing than S3")"Now, i sold my S3 and enjoying stock 4X(It's really awesome)"

Will L90 get the official Lollipop update?

OEMs are announcing update plans.
Profit hungry samsung is updating only high ends.
Motorolla is updating almost all.
LG leaked some models like G3, G2.
Some sources say L90.
What do you think? Will Lg be agressive & release it for Mid ranges like L90?
(MotoG L90 are competitors)

Signs on skies and earths say it will. What will we end up with at the end of the day? Only LG knows
We'll most likely get it. This phone's bound to get an update, and I doubt it'll be a small bump to 4.4.4.
Man I hope so. If we didn't, it would be like not getting a present at Xmas time
Or getting organic rice from Trick or Treating.

My reasons to doubt it is. LG never released 4.4.0 because they said they want android to become stable first. They jumped to 4.4.2 and marketed new devices.
Next, LG is the slowest to update. Remember kitkat for G2 ?
Maybe by May next year they will release new phones (5.1) and market those?

LG has been on top of their game for the last year. We'll get it.
I'm hoping it will get the update.
Cmon LG, got a tablet and a smartphone from you, don't let me down!
I sure hope we'll get the newest version. Though I wonder how well will it run on this device and how much internal memory will it require. But I'm not getting my hopes up. Somewhat of a realistic/optimistic opinion towards this matter.

It's not, I saw a page about upgrading L90 to 5.0. Doesn't look legit though and I'm too lazy to dig for some info about it
Edit. Yeah, I've just noticed a tutorial on how to pass the survey in order to download this rom on that site which means it may be everything except 5.0 for L90
Actually, I have some doubts about the update. The recent LG announcement that they will bring the LG G3 UI & UX to their low and mid-end devices is what makes me doubt. I mean, why do that if they're presumably working on an Android update for the L90. Of course, if it doesn't take much time or resources, I don't mind.
L90 hardware is somewhat similar to the moto g. So it is possible. Lg has really changed with their latest releases, so it gives me hope that it will get 5.0
L90 would definitely be getting android lollipop, informed by someone really reliable.

Why did we never get any ROMs or updates?

For its time the Flex was a superb phone at a very good price. Plenty of ram, processing power, etc. It even had IR and a big colored led. How being much, much harder to break than a typical phone is anything but great is beyond me. So how the hell did we not get one single rom? I've seen dinky little $40/3.5in throwaway phones get at least one rom. What happened?
I wonder this as well. The flex is still my wife's phone she absolutely loves it. When it's out of its case, people still comment on how beautiful a phone it is.
Sent from my Nexus 6
What happened was LG killed us Flex users by not unlocking the BL.
Also a devicetree couldnt be brought up so it was pretty difficult to get things working.
Bump helped us at least to have a recovery and I used playfulgods CM11 with working data but no sound or calls.
then I used MIUI too for LS996 working data and sound but BT and calls were a no go.
My sister has the phone now and she absolutely loves how fluid it is and that people amaze by its rare curved design.
LG killed this magnificent phone... if someone is to blame its them.
This is a plea for all developers to come help out. I've been knocking on every door that I know, everyone else do the same. Maybe someone will help out.
I actually like this phone more than my oneplus. Just from a durability standpoint. I get more comments on my flex than my one also.
Maybe we should start a "working cm Rom bounty" thread....
I definitely would be in for paying someone for there time.
+1
Willing to contribute to the bounty.
This is a damn good phone

Yup...LG's attitude towards the G Flex is why I left a rather scathing Facebook post promising NEVER to buy anything other than a Nexus phone.
Well actually I got GFlex2 and its an amazing phone. But it seems its going the same route as gflex1 cuz of the bl locked and no custom recovery/roms. But the thing is a beast, its a trully amazing fone.
I hope this one gets better stuff. At least a cm or aosp.

I believe some of the Nexus phones are actually made by LG. :|
One of the new Nexus 2015s is made by LG. The G4 Pro also looks pretty good hardware-wise, but if you can't unlock the damn bootloader then they're definitely out of the game.
There was alot of good devs that worked on this. There is a device tree hanging around. Thing to do is yell at LG for not rls the source nor unlocking the bootlaoder. Im sure playful,justin or dfuse would be glad to help if anyone started a promising project. We where testing behind close doors for awhile but bootloader and drivers was the main issue

I'm new, really new ...... But... What does it take to unlock the boot loader? If not a break in the software, time then? After a device ages, will LG release source and such?
Behind close doors? Does that mean someone is still working on CM for this but just not updating on XDA? Or doesn't want to update here?
Thanks for posting.
No one is working on it as far as I know bump did a awesome job. But honestly every remarkable dev has tried. No disrepect to them or me lol. But the phone was forgot

It isn't even from LG. The source of the info is super sketchy and I have high doubts we will see 6.0 as well. LG2/flex are kinda EOL now. In fact with the flex 2 being shoveled onto boost as well as being given away for new sprint plans, I wouldn't be surprised is Android 6 didn't happen.

Re: Motorola Moto g 2014 bricked phones

Re: Motorola Moto g 2014 bricked phones
Hi everyone. I check this forum regularly and every day almost without fail someone posts "Moto g 2nd gen phone bricked. " I am no expert in this field but it seems to me that there are 3 major problems here : 1. Bricked phones as a result of a firmware downgrade (corrupted bootloader). 2. Bricked phones during an official firmware up grade and 3. Bricked phones as a result of battery discharge less than 5%. Motorola wants to take no responsibility for downgrades as they claim they "Don't support and never have supported downgrades". Now it seems to me that this is a complete lack of responsibility on their part and bad customer service. In the 1st case of downgrades not everyone who wants to downgrade has an unlocked bootloader. People have beed ask (begging) for a the blank-flash-qboot files to fix their phones and thus far there hasn't been any REAL response from anyone. People keep re posting the same Moto g 1st gen blank flash files which are useless for the Moto g 2nd gen. Someone has even stated a petition to force Motorola to release these files.
On the second and third points there are obviously bugs/glitches somewhere causing these problems. Motorola should take heed and address theses issues or they will lose faithful users to other brands of which there many.
Not sure Lenovo is going to do anything much with the Moto line, as far as support goes anyway. I have a feeling they're merely using the Moto tech to come up with a new generation of cheaper Lenovo phones that won't have that much in common with Moto.
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
Yes you are probably right...I think it's quite pathetic that a company like Lenovo acquires another company and takes no responsibly for the users/buyers whom they have also "acquired" as part of the package Anyway thnks for your input.
+4 major problem - flash chip (eMMC) failure. It happens pretty often especially on G Gen2. Phone doesn't go past logo, hanging at fastboot.

I think they already lost a couple of users. They don't give a f/ck about anything, they have the worst customer support. I never had a phone before which would hard brick due to installing an OTA update while the phone is on newer bootloader.

my xt1069 brick after donwgrade and upgrade ota
i buy a new motherboard, changed by myself and work..
is a plausible solution, better that buy a new phone.
but, anyway i never buy a new 'moto' / 'lenovo' phone
this support for 'developers' is terrible.
i see various lg G (same snapdragon) unbrick because then dont have a 'auth key' for flash bootloader.

Yep, I think we havee better developers here on xda like luca and Luk than motorola(lenovo) has.

Why is custom ROM support for this device so less?

I'm currently a g5s plus user which gets a lot of love from devs. And I see that there are barely any ROM'S for this device? What's the reason?

Cool this is the g6 forum not the g5+ forum lol I wanna know what even brings you to this forum since you have e a g5+. there's a couple being worked on for the g6 plus but there not ready for public release yet and that's it. No one really gives a damn about the Moto g6 or g6 play which sucks ass tbh. I've literally tried given an extra g6 play I had away for free to any dev and I was willing to pay the shipping even and no one even bothered asking about it so I got rid of it lol
Depends on the variant. G6+ was not released in the US officially so that hurt adoption as the G6 is not exactly a stand out device. The 6+ can be bought on Amazon in the US but it lacks a warranty and comes with Amazon bloatware(Alexa, Amazon.com, Amazon Prime Video/Music, Kindle). It also lacks NFC when compared to the 6+. It's more expensive then a Z Force 2 which has Moto Mods and better screen but older SoC. The US availableility is the biggest key! The g6 seems to be gaining traction though as prepaid carriers like Cricket and Straight Talk are releasing variants of the G6 now. The cricket version is cheaper then the G6 but has 16gb storage vs 32gb in the G6. Seems like the G6 Play is most commonly used on Boost Mobile in the US from to me. Boost is sort of a hit or miss carrier mostly depending on how good Sprint networks are in an area I believe. They are one of the rare sprint resellers.

I mean the phone itself is a great phone and if I didn't care about having root or if I was just a simple person that just used a phone like normal I would say this phone is amazing like if your friend ain't really into rooting or custom ROMs then still I would recommend it to them. But if they are into this scene I would not recommend it at least yet.

For the g6+ I say give it about another month to three months. There is a telegram you can join if you want more updates on what's going in the g6+ community right now.

I also have a Moto z2 force so I just mainly use my g6 play as a phone and basic light mobile gaming and my z2 force for my heavier mobile gaming stuff like pubg mobile lol.

We have working LOS16 custom rom that is daily driver ready for the most part. LOS updates our vendor partition to make the GSI format more compatible with our device. We don't really have a reason to make a ton of custom roms anymore when a GSI img can be made and work on 50+ devices vs a custom rom which can work on only 1 device.

Yeah it's interesting how little is going on with the G6 platform compared to other phones. I picked up my G6 play for $80, a steal. It replaced my Moto x 2014 and my wife's Moto Z.
Yes there's occasional lag, but the phone itself looks and feels like a very high end device. I've also used the G6 which was much faster and the camera was nicer.
So for those saying the G6 "sucks" either haven't used it or are willing to pay $500+ for a "better" phone.

Pretty much this. The Play and the G6 shows that you don't need to spend $500+ to get a good phone.
Its like buying a BMW versus a Toyota. The $40,000 BMW depreciates to $18,000 in 2 years versus a $20,000 Toyota that will depreciates to $12,000. It's the same principle with phones. I'm thoroughly enjoying mine.
This is why I'm glad Treble exists. I've been running Pie for 2 weeks and it's still going great.
