Noob question here. Can anyone tell me if I can unlock the bootloader of LMV405EBW that I bought in India?? The lg website states bootloader unlock allowed only for European version which is the same variant.

Despite Indian version having the same model name/number as European, you won't be able to unlock it officially - LG Developer site will detect the version by the serial number. You can unlock the BL via unofficial channel here https://remote-unlock-service.com/en. It is paid service though.

I have a US unlocked V40, model number V405QA. If I do this, does that mean I can root? Can you post some directions on how to root this phone once I unlock the bootloader?
Thanks!

Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I am looking to buy the N950FD singapore version of Note 8. Can anyone tell me if all devices of this variant is bootloader unlockable? I did see the twrp for FD and I also did several researches, some say there is no OEM unlock option for this model until 7 days later it will show after activation? There is a method to skip that and retrieve OEM unlock option straight away.
I just want to confirm this, not willing to buy the Snapdragon version because of lacking custom rom support and ability to unlock bootloader...
Thank you for your time.

I don't have the Singapore version, but I do have the N950FD from Dubai which is bootloader unlocked. To my knowledge all other Exynos variants of the Note 8 are also bootloader unlocked. Yes there is a 7 day wait period to toggle OEM Unlock on some Exynos phones, but there is also a workaround for that posted as a sticky. Hope this helps.

No problem. You can read through the oem unlock thread too for more info on the 7 day timer... I think there were specific posts about the singapore model, but probably from before the workaround and fix were discovered.
Hi
I need help with unlocking LG v40 thinq from AT&T. Phone is blacklisted and is asking for unlock code.
I can't get unlock code from AT&T online page. I was asking for unlock code on ebay but four sellers couldn't get it.
I am out of US now and I really need to use this phone now.
Please help
any luck so far?
There's a reason it was blacklisted. I don't understand why anyone would but a blacklisted phone expecting to use it.

Do you also have access to unlock codes for LG V30. Bought mine 3rd party and worked great for 6 months then was carrier locked by T-Mobile. Paid IMEI search showed not an actual blacklist however...
Had it soon unlocked for v use with AT&TV long before the sim network lock took place
Please I need the unlock code for my ATT V40,
Can I Send the imei?
It didn't work on my V40 ATT (no code)
can you get a code for my LG v40 Thinq?

Hello! Is there any alternative way to unlock? but my code is not in the databases.
hi, i'm new here. I've got this LG V40 which requires unlock code. Contacted seller, seller direct me to AT&T , but the results is: "Looks like the IMEI number you entered doesn’t match an AT&T device" The decal on my phone says AT&T, model is: LMV405UA
What can i do from here...? Thanks.
With the LG V40 finally being in stores in Europe, does anyone know if the EU version is unlockable at this moment? Or is no V40 unlockable at the moment, regardless of region, SKU and simlock or simfree?
Edit: EU SKUs:
LM-V405EB
LV-V405EBW
Possible? Yes. Risky? HIGHLY! The phone is still relatively new to the market, from the developer's view. Let them fiddle with it a while. Better to wait for a safe way. The phone has SO much potential, so I doubt it'll be ignored for long.

Its interesting that for the V30 at first it was NOT on their site as unlockable, but a few tried it and it seems like if you manually entered the device details it WAS unlockable! I wonder if anyone has tried with the V40 this way?

Well in order to try you need the Device ID which is the "Fastboot OEM Device-ID" aka you need Bootloader Access just to try to unlock the Bootloader but most variants just reboot when trying to access it...so we need someone with access to that to try it

I've tried with my unlocked B&H V40. I even tried the page source edit that worked for the V30 a while back. No luck. It said that bootloader unlock was for the LG-V405QA was not "yet" available.
Interesting that is said "yet", so maybe it will be soon, I guess we will have to wait and see. Not sure why they make such a big deal about unlocking bootloader/rooting, I mean other than a few guys bricking phones, does root really cost LG that much of an issue?

Very nice!! Now for the V30 it says "LG V30: H930 and H930G for the European market" although the US998 version seemed to work. Maybe V40 US version will be in the same boat.

I get this error on the LG Developer website.
Unfortunately, your device( Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, (HONG KONG), LMV405EBW.HKG.
Is there a way to change the image on it for something else than LMV405EBW.HKG ???

I’m looking for this as well I purchased in the uk it’s Europe model with HKG firmware.
V10b-HKG-XX and would like GBR but doing this would stop any OTA updates I think..it did with my G7.

But it's NOT supported! The LG Developer site simply lists LMV405EBW as being supported. It makes no mention at all of which versions of LMV405EBW are actually supported. In other words, their list is garbage and cannot be relied upon. How is the buying public meant to know if LG wont be straightforward about it and be honest? There is no official information from LG or anyone as to the differences between them. Which raises an obvious point. If LG can allow the 'European' version to be unlocked then why can't they do it for the HK or 'international' version as well?
I had naively assumed that LMV405EBW meant LMV405EBW!
It's not good enough and I have sent a pointed and direct email to LG, telling them to lift their game. Very frustrating.
Here i will be sharing links to all the KDZ's that i happen to download and host on my mega account so if you are also paying for mega enjoy fast firmware downloads and even if LG discontinues a KDZ i will have it here (if i download it on time) in case we get LGUP to work correctly.

Hello! my LG phone is v40 Korea. I would like to change to EU but I tried to use Your EU firmware above and it's not successfully!
Hi, I have a LMV405UA. It is not carrier branded and the 8.1 stock it has right now has no bloatware in it. Which would be the best ROM to flash to update to Pie? (update check says I have the latest)
Hi, I'm currently having an LG V40 AT&T LM-V405UA, with AT&T bloatware on it. How do I know if it's unlocked or not, I can use my SIM card from other carrier with no problem. Also, how can I unlock the bootloader if there is no fastboot available on my device? If I were to use LGUP, which one of the firmware file should I use?
Been a minute updated OP added 20e kdz for the QA Us model

All versions, except t-mobile, can be unlocked. I think one version, the UK ebw, could officially be unlocked, but not 100% certain. If you look in the 'Guides' thread, you'll find the guide to unlock the boot loader of any version but t-mo.

I don't understand your question, do u mean "can we' unlock etc? The security patch level has nothing to do with it (unlocking), so don't know why u even mention it? Can u unlock if it has 10? yes.
