7In the past, LG had a developer portal which could be used to unlock phones on their website, however it only supported international models of their phones, but in December 2021, LG [announced][announcement-archive] the developer portal would be shutting down due to LG ending production of all phones. Unisoc devices will never be unlockable, this is *not* LG's fault, Unisoc does not allow unlocking.

9On some models (such as the Stylo 3 Plus and G6), the bootloader can still be unlocked via `fastboot oem unlock` **only if** [the phone is a T-Mobile model][t-mobile-unlock].

11Older devices (prior to 2015) do not have partition verification, and assuming you have a root exploit, you can just flash modified partitions with dd -- as recommended by some official LineageOS [install guides]

14All LG watches on Android Wear/Wear OS use the [standard unlock procedure](../../misc/generic-unlock.md) via fastboot.
