LG#

  • Verdict: ⛔ Avoid!
  • Verdict: 🍅 Terrible! (Unisoc)
  • Verdict (Watches): ℹ️ "Safe for now" :trollface:

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 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.

On 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.

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

Watches#

All LG watches on Android Wear/Wear OS use the standard unlock procedure via fastboot.
