unlocking a bootloader is not a piece of cake. You will need to go through some programming codes and you will need to be cautious. Before we proceed further you must remember that doing this will void the warranty of your LG G pro 2 and you yourself will be responsible for any damage.
1. Download Android SDK and install it. It is easily available on internet from any source, install all Google USB drivers.
2. Enable USB debugging as shown in the steps while rooting your device.
3. Plug in the USB cable into your Smartphone and connect it with your PC.
4. Type adb devices > adb reboot bootloader > fastboot devices > fastboot oem unlock.
You have to insert all the commands shown above in the same sequence. Let me make you understand the meaning of these commands.
adb devices: This command will check and navigate whether your device is plugged in and revealed in SDK.
adb reboot bootloader: This command reboots your Smartphone into bootloader.
fastboot devices: This command double checks that your LG G pro 2 is connected.
fastboot oem unlock: This is the final command which will make your device to unlock bootloader.
After typing this command, on you Smartphone a confirmation screen will be shown. You just have to press Volume Up button for yes and Power off button to confirm.
Now you have to just restart your device and your bootloader will be unlocked. Kindly use these tricks with extra care and don’t worry all these tricks are safe and already experimented

Yes this is true for older phones but will NOT work for any variant of the l g pro 2 don't get excited guys....
So I'm wondering how come we can install and use PhilZ Touch recovery if the bootloader is locked. Or has PhilZ recovery image been signed or bumped or what?

So I was following the instructions here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20a-stock-images-kdz-t3232282
and my G4 is in a bootloop after step 7 (reboot into twrp). Gets a second or two into the animated LG logo then resets.
I want to get back into fastboot mode or recovery so I can flash again, but no button combo does anything, (p+d or p+u, held, or with the short gap as in many descriptions). If I hold all three buttons, it shows imei and a barcode, but I can't go anywhere from this screen.
It's boot loader unlocked as per LG official unlock, and still says so in tiny writing top left when first booting.
Can anyone give me some tips on how to get this thing back into fastboot mode? I have a mac with adb and fastboot working well.
Thanks,

There were three methods outlined in the post, but i think this should help you...
In order to successfully complete this method a computer will be required. A connection between your smartphone and your PC will also have to be ensured, so on your LG G4 gain developer rights and then check USB debugging – go to “menu – settings – about phone” and tap several times on built number and then access “menu – settings – developer options”. Also, on your PC flash Android SDK by following: install Android SDK on Windows or set up ADB on MAC OS X / Linux. Don’t forget to charge your handset before going any further and then apply:
Connect your LG G4 with your computer via USB cable.
On your PC access the Android SDK folder.
There, open a command prompt window: press and hold Shift keyboard key and then right click on any blank space.
In the cmd window you have to execute the following command: “adb reboot bootloader”.
Enjoy.

I'm familiar with using adb to reboot into bootloader, That's how I got this far. But it only works if you have a working OS with developer options for adb to connect to.
Unfortunately I don't have a working OS, or working anything else.

Hi, I'm trying to unlock my phone so I can install Kali Linux on my A466BG. I've read a lot on the web but came to a problem. I've got Android SDK on my PC and installed platform-tools. My device shows up after entering "adb devices." I've enabled developer mode and usb debugging and OEM unlocking. My problem is...I can't unlock the bootloader and use fastboot. After pressing power and up volume I get into the menu (and I actually reset my phone to factory settings so I'll have more space) but I can't find bootloader. My phone shows up fine on my PC and under devices, but when I switch to the other menu (with reset options) it doesn't show up anymore. Not even under "adb devices." I tried entering "adb reboot-bootloader" but it just restarts and goes to the normal android phone screen. I tried "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" and it says "waiting for device." I'm not sure how to boot into fastboot and unlock my bootloader. Or why my phone doesn't show up on my PC after pressing power and up volume. Please reply with instructions. Thank you
Hi, me again. I found a video on YouTube on how to install Kali Nethunter on Android phones. I got it and now I'm installing Metasploit. It's just the command line but that should work. Check You Tube on "Nethunter without root" if you want to know. Thanks
I'm back...Not satisfied with Nethunter on Termux. I would like to know how to root the phone and install Kali. Can anyone look at the above question and reply with how to root my Alcatel A466BG? I'll check back tomorrow. Thanks in advance!
Hi
Is their a root solution for Sony 3223
Hi, through the official Sony Xperia website, follow their instructions and get an unlock code to unlock your bootloader. Then follow instructions at twrp.me on how to boot TWRP in order to flash stuff. Magisk works.
I will make a comprehensive root guide.
Basically you need to check your device eligibility, and get the code when it's eligible.
Backup your data
Enable USB debugging and allow your host computer.
Make sure OEM Unlocking enabled
Install Sony Companion for drivers.
Download TWRP in development section
Turn the phone off.
Take memory card out and copy the latest Magisk
Press volume up when connecting to host computer, and the phone should show blue light
Check Device Manager. If you see unknown device, pick the driver and user Sony soXXXX (XXXX is the number)
Open command prompt and go to where ADB is.
Enter fastboot devices
If the model showed up, enter the command shown on Sony developer site along with code given
Let the phone boots like new and finish the initial setup.
Turn the phone off
Press volume up when connecting to host computer
Enter fastboot boot and press space once, and drag-and-drop the TWRP into the command prompt and press enter.
Install TWRP and reboot

I just bought a new H3223 XA2 Ultra, and it updated all the way to the December 2018 security update. I just enabled developer options, enabled OEM unlock, and got an unlock code from Sony.
I then ran the service menu check on the phone, and it stated that the phone CAN be unlocked.
I haven't done it yet, but yes, you can unlock and root this phone.
Yes, I have searched the whole forum and after finding mixed answers I decided to post a question myself. I have used the Huawei Bootloader Unlock app from the Play Store in a P10 Lite and it worked fine but it says P20 is not supported. I have read on methods like disassembling the device but that's out of my range. So the question here is: Is there ANY way (apart from the disassembling one) to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks.

I asked DC_Unlocker Support if they could Unlock my Bootloader on my P10Lite with android 8 ! And they told me after Android 8, and Emui 5+ the P10Lite Devices aren't Supported now.
If their would be a Way or if anyone has an other Idea... DLoad, Flashing Roms Rollback didn't worked for me.
But i would really like to try other Ways if their would be a Chance for a Working Way to Rollback on Android 7. Couse than DC-Unlocker would Work and could Unlock the Bootloader and Root the Phone, Flash TWRP and Doing much other things.

I'd love to know... I have my unlock code, but I have no idea how to use it. I got my code from Huawei before they stopped providing them.

Wow thanks! I'll get on that this weekend!
looking to unlock bootloader for this device konnectone Moxee tab2 sold by metro I can't find a thing anywhere not even fake walkthroughs. does anyone know
Developer options >> OEM unlock bootloader
Activate USB debugging
Then use this commands
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
I've tried those except for adb and fastboot devices and returned error unknown command flashing. do I need to. I'm not new at any of this but definitely no expert. I never really did use those commands on any other devices. I always thought it was for user piece of mind knowing device is connected

if you never tried or used adb, i strongly suggest stopping here. give it a rest or you will hard brick your device.
I'm sorry man I didn't mean fastboot and adb in whole just adb devices and fastboot devices commands. how important are those 2 commands is what I was asking because will it make a difference if I left thos 2 out. because I've never used them in past always thought they were optional
so I do all from beginning of your post this is what I get at fastboot flashing unlock
and this is the readout of when I put the device into fastbootd
