So we all know the g7 is an awesome phone but for it to be rly great we alwayxs need root and mods , now its possible, this is only for the G710EM Variant since the us one doesnt have a bootloader unlock yet
How To Root
1. Download this Boot.img
2. Reboot to fastboot and unlock your bootloader
3. Flash the new boot.img with the commands fastboot flash boot_a pathtoboot.imghere and then fastboot flash boot_b pathtoboot.imghere
4. Reboot and install Magisk Manager Apk
5.Enjoy Root
6.Profit

2.Autoprime for the great dump of g7 boot.img
3.MarlonXX from G6 telegram group for patching boot.img with magisk manager on his rooted g6 for me
4.SGMarkus for help and nice suggestions
Can you expand a bit more on how to do this please? This is my first lg phone so I am more used to the Samsung process
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------
And also does this work for the American variant? I have the tmobile version.
Might want to specify. What model is this for? Does it work on all g7's?

Well of course it is appreciated but it was already known that the bootloader can be unlocked on the European variant. So when at first I seen the title said g7 I was hoping it would work for the US variant too but then it was edited to European.
ive installed xposed and some other modifications with success , i spoke to someone we might get twrp soon , im not able to make it since they changed the way recovery works and idk how it works xD
xposed magisk notch disabled adaway debloat ,etc etc

Man, now I really wish the US variant would get unlock. I have no faith in LG that this will ever happen. Off to OnePlus land for now.

Same here. It's getting ridiculous they are allowed to lock the bootloader to a phone we pay full price for.
This doesn't work on TMO-USA variant yet? Man that'd be sweet. I'll keep my OP6 as my DD but sure would love to unlock my G7.

Just a thread for the few USCC people here - I've tried to UL the bootloader using TMO instructions - no go. It will reboot into the bootloader but it asks for the unlock.bin key (fastboot oem unlock returns an unknown command error). So at least theirs that much
Phone will also boot into recovery, and I get the associated normal options there (clear, mount /system, wide device/cache, load update via ADB, load update via SD, view recovery logs, etc). Interesting thing happens when I select "run graphics test" from the recovery menu - it gives an error, then the "no command" icon, then multicolor circles rotating - but it says "erasing" then "installing system update" then goes back to the recovery menu. Not sure if it's normal, but it's interesting.
I'm not a dev or a software guy really, but would like to hear some thoughts on the USCC version...would love to have root like the TMO - especially since it will get into the fastboot menu. Wish I knew more so I could be more help.
Same I'd like to here more about this since the unlocked version comes with an unlocked bootloader. I think it's because the T-Mobile version got released first so they had the jump start, and the unlocked version took till the 11th to be released so it's like we're late.

you are talking about three different devices lol.. apparently USCC v20 is locked like everyone else.. TMobile typically allows BL unlocks, not because it was out first? and the unlocked variant is obviously from LG and unlockable by default...

I seem to have a US996, but I got it early on. I believe it to be bootloader locked though, even though it's a developers device. I'm almost 100% sure it's the sim unlocked version as I tried a few sims and they worked. Anything I can do to help?

I recommended the officially unlocked variant of the V20 to @Abumarf believing he'd have no issues whatsoever in unlocking the bootloader. He purchased one off eBay before the phone was officially released and I believe it came with a user debug kernel. It seems similar to the engineering kernels for Samsung devices, as he has root access through the adb shell. Unlike the temporary root method that @me2151 had posted, it can survive reboots. Yet I'm surprised the fastboot command to unlock the bootloader returns with failure.

@elliwigy I will most likely be selling the phone or handing it over to @Ephemera as I can't use it as a daily driver. We'll update you on what happens. If we do decide to sell, I'll see if we can extract and send them your way before we do.

hopefully you are able to as it shouldnt really take any time at all lol.. it would really help a lot of ppl out if it is in fact a debug kernel..
the root we have is a temp tcp root shell using a context we cant really do anything we need to do at all so it was pretty much a dead end so far

yeah, the US cellular us996. it's different from the American unlocked us996. according to LG anyway, it lists it as two different phones.
I'm not on a US cellular one. I'm in an unlocked one with Verizon. the post above you said unlocked had unlocked bootloader. mines as unlocked as you get, and it doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.

Make yourselves heard. Let LG know we want the bootloader to be unlockable on the US996. I've talked to their live chat and they claim that they "didn't know people would want to unlock their bootloader". Show them we do.

The phone was simlocked . Someone unlocked it (he unlocked the bootloader and then unlocked it with a box) . The phone was then sold to a customer who said that he wanted to update OTA . Then the phone became bricked .

If you try to unlock the bootloader with fastboot flashing unlock does it work or do you get an error? If you can't unlock the bootloader and flash the full factory image, you will likely have to try to get it replaced by Google.

If you brick your phone with a locked bootloader it wasn't your fault. Nothing you can do to it, can't root it, can't mod it. Just like any other locked phone. If it dies, send it to them for warranty.

No, basically everything you described was a terrible idea and it makes zero sense to intentionally lock the bootloader of a phone you just finished hooking up to a black box to forcibly modify software.
Never lock the bootloader of a modified device, that is just a given.

If you lock your bootloader with custom firmware what happens exactly? I know unlocking wipes the device but I can't remember what happened the last time I had to lock my bootloader. I've read it doesn't wipe. I was doing things too quickly to remember for myself..

Well there is that and then there's the fact that the pixel is carrier unlocked. Sounds like this guy had no clue what he was doing with this phone. Also like to know what "box" you hooked the phone up to
Has the original poster tried to unlock bootloader again? The pic in the OP shows fastboot. That looks potentially hopeful. Hope that OTA wasn't 7.1.2
Hopefully the seller was legit, maybe the phone is still under warranty??? Waiting sucks, but if it's under warranty you can fix it for free. Might be worth the wait. If not if that's not an option...
I'm guessing this is a Verizon phone? If so, start worrying, bit don't quit, unless you are prepared to spend more money on a new phone. As long as you have fastboot, you have options.
Sorry guys, but unlocking bootloader through adb and fastboot didn't worked.It asked to unlock bootloader with yes (vol up) or no (vol down) and i pressed vol up, but it failed instantly and it let me to the screen with normal reboot, recovery and bootloader options (volume keys don't work for some reason on that screen so i pressed power and volume keys at the same time 10-15 sec to power off).
Without unlocked bootloader, we can't have root, custom recovery and custom ROMs.
That means that unofficial way doesn't work so we need to wait Nokia to give us codes (like in Huawei phones) or provide a official way of unlocking bootloader.
EDIT: Now is possible to unlock bootloader.

i cant get the unlock code from fastboot. maybe there is a workaround like with the op7p where oneplus released a beta with an unlocked bootloader. i have the patched msm.exe from then but it wont load the .ops file.
is it possible that if i flash the eu or international .ops file it will allow me to unlock the bootloader?
Not that I know of yet. If you can't get the unlock code, most likely you're not sim unlocked.

just spoke with tmobile and they said its not blocked and ready to be activated. also that without the tmobile unlock app i would have to test it with a new sim card. think it might be a problem if someone unlocked then factory reset before they sold it?
i read the post before making my own. i dont have the previous owners name or phone number.
also i looked up tforce on twitter but there's only 1 person with that @ and they dont seem like theyre active

i cant get the unlock code from fastboot. maybe there is a workaround like with the op7p where oneplus released a beta with an unlocked bootloader. i have the patched msm.exe from then but it wont load the .ops file.
is it possible that if i flash the eu or international .ops file it will allow me to unlock the bootloader?

I got the unlock code from fastboot, but when going to enter it on the OnePlus Site it says it is invalid because it is not a 64 digit unlock code. ????
I have an unlocked EU model IN2023 from Amazon UK and my OEM unlock button is greyed out. I'm so confused
I see this is an older thread, but I have the same problem with Nord CE; Oneplus support is not of any help (they just spam me with "we don't help with unlocking the bootloader, it's a security problem").
Anyone found a workaround?
I have an option to get new phone with contract reneval. I like devices with strange "additions", thats why I had Moto Z3 Play before. And now I'm thinking about Velvet coz of it's Dual Screen.
However I need root for few apps I use (some for my own usage, some work related).
Do You believe that there will be a way to root Velvet in the nearest feature? Or ever?
I'm more asking if You believe there will be a way to fash Magisk patched kernel.
I know that nonflagship LG device doesnt even have an option to unlock bootoloader nd even the flagships (V60?) have blocked fastboot command, so unlocking does nothing...
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
Sad to see this after I chose something else...
Still, as I read about other LG devices it seems that unlockable bootloader doesn't have to mean that there is access to fastboot commands. An without that there is no reason to unlock it.
I thought about a new phone for a long time and I hope you are wrong. because I chose velvet. previously i had g6 and i already miss & root mods a lot. and what did you buy?
Realme X3 Superzoom. At least there is a root solution already
And they should share the sources like they did with older devices.
I'll miss the 2nd screen, but... Had a chance to play with it and my carrier gives it for free (screen or headphones) along with 3rd year of warranty.
I waiting for headphines ? they add choice (screen or it) after i buy phone :laugh: and i worry about lg is coming down with smartphone ... Have nice day and good luck with powerusing :victory:
Headphones? I'd choose the screen. F**k their DAC
Maybe one day I'll get LG with Dual Screen? Will see. As I signed the contract in the store I have no way to change it (not sure if I want to).
Anyway, nice day to You too. I miejmy nadzieje, ze znajdzie sie sposob na roota na Velveta

I’ve been seeing the LMG900M a lot on ebay, wondering if this works too as i haven’t seen it on this list?
In the dark
Is there anyway us as a collective to unlock the bootloader ourselves. I literally don't know like I'm very new to this and want to try it out a rooted device
got a velvet.
unlock bootloader was no prob.
but stock roms are in kdz format. uncompressable since last dev of un-kdz un-dz seems to support just old and smaller formats.
tried several boot.img's and twrp's that seem to be same chipset.
nothing worked so far. hopin some of the rom-gurus gets hot on that dual-screen feature/case...which works really good.
i didnt get it to work with root, but i dont give up hope.

just complete the process that wifredzik posted as link.
you ll get an unlock file from lg immediately.
enable developer options on your phone and in the following usb debugging.
boot into bootloader via adb and unlock as lg describes in the manual.
thats whats worked for me so far.
payed around with stock roms of other new mobile-phones that have the same chipset to extract the boot.img and modify it with magisk.
my strategy is to boot in with root, but without flashing partitions so that i can dump the original boot.img and modify with magisk just to flash it back.
but no other boot.img worked so far.
if there is somebody out there who can breakup the lg velvet stock rom (kdz-format) to intact img files please let me know.

hm...i would try it anyways.
the worst that can happen is that lg dont sends back the unlock.bin.
iv`e taken a look inside the file.
its encrypted. so, no way to create it the easy way by yourself...
