In 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.

Older 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]
