Fastboot works on the G710ULM11g.kdz no need to erase laf.imgs.
See the 2 links below for crossflashing threads.
(There are 2 ways to crossflash).
1. Use LGUP, Partition DL and Refurbish is you want the kdz on both a and b slots: https://mega.nz/#!kCpHBaia!xZmico6MYL1T07ffuc8z6cCbs5oU4pKEz5VG-AwfvV0

To successfully unlock the bootloader while on the crossflashed 11g,
Setup Device then go into Developer options and Enable the OEM Unlock toggle and enable usb debugging in the phone.
Now Let's Begin:
1. Switching the phone to EDL modeopen device manager):
Turn off the phone, then hold the vol- and power buttons together and repeatedly press the vol+ button until you see device in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". then release buttons. If you don't succeed at first keep trying.
2. Using QFIL:
Install the QPST package, launch Qfil, in the program window select:
(1) Select port to which the device is connected
(2) Storage type UFS
(3) select build type: Flat
(4) Select programmer: prog_ufs_firehose_Sdm845_lge.elf

3. Load v35eng.img to abl_a partition:
in the upper left menu, select Tools, then partition manager , look for abl_a in the window that opens , Right click abl_a, select manage partition data, then use the V35eng.img overwrite the abl_a with load image.
4. Reboot into Fastboot to Unlock the bootloader:
Leave EDL mode by holding the volume down and power for about 10 seconds. Phone will restart. Turn off phone disconnect usb and hold vol- and plug in usb. (phone should boot into fastboot like the picture).
Now we need platform tools unpacked to any folder convenient for you, launch the shell by pressing the shift + right mouse button and choosing to open the power shell window here .
Use the command : "fastboot oem unlock" without quotes
Use the command: "fastboot reboot" without quotes
That's Everything the bootloader is unlocked.
Crossflash back to Stock G710VM21b.kdz and root or crossflash to android 10 kdz to install custom roms.
To Root stock 21b use EDL mode for Qfil to load the magisk patched 21b boot.imgs to boot_a and boot_b reboot and install magisk.apk then it should update to latest magisk zip.
***NOTE***
Only use this part of the guide if you are relocking bootloader. This locking bootloader procedure may work for other devices use at your own risk.
***Do not uninstall magisk with the magisk uninstall button. Just go into download mode and crossflash to ULM11g. If you use the uninstall button in magisk manager you will brick your device.**
To relock bootloader:
Cross Flash back to ULM11G, setup phone, enable Developer options, enable USB debugging. (Enable OEM unlock) should be greyed out don't worry).
Platform-tools and issue powershell commands:
1. PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> adb devices
List of devices attached
LMG710ULM******** device
2. PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> adb reboot bootloader
3. PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> fastboot oem lock
(bootloader) Erasing userdata and cache OKAY [ 0.492s]
Finished. Total time: 0.592s
4. PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> fastboot reboot
Rebooting OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.004s
To confirm locked bootloader:
Enable developer options again and you will see (Enable OEM Unlock) Unchecked.
***Profit Bootloader is locked***[/QUOTE]
I just cross flashed and rooted the G710ULM20d for my LG710VM Verizon. This method should work on any phone that is cross flashed. I only used Qfil no twrp.
Can someone write this up in a more noob friendly way?
Is 'adb debugging in ULM11g', the same as 'USB debugging' under developer options?
My phone currently has Oreo (8.1) installed and is model no. LMG710ULM

Yeah, totally lost me at
When you hear the disconnect sound, immediately hold volume down (only volume down) to enter fastboot right away (if it don't work just let the phone boot up and go into adb and command prompt and type fastboot reboot bootloader.
2. When you've entered fastboot, execute this command:

I guess we're supposed to have ADB cmd window open on the PC, similar to 3:30 of the following video:

Once bootloader is unlocked you can cross flash back to Verizon Pie kdz. Make the backup for whatever slot your using a or b.

This doesn't make any sense, since he didn't revert to Oreo, to install the v35eng.img
Edit: It seems he's referring to the original abl_a/abl_b files, this post talks about distinguishing the 2
3. Installed magisk manager and patched boot_a.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It seems Magisk apk needs to be executed directly on the phone, then it'll do it's thing from there
/watch?v=m4f21ZCGJuk
Edit: here are my images of the steps to patch boot_a and boot_b
imgur.com/a/E4Abu4t
You must manually navigate to the directory with your LG, press and hold then select 'share' file, so it can appear in Windows explorer; filenames will be the same so you have to do this twice.
File size of each file went from 64 MB to 23.1 MB
After patching boot_a and boot_b with QFIL, the red question mark will change into a green check mark, when you boot up again.
But yeah, none of this makes any sense without some sort of image or video. Thank you for the guide though.
There are 5 main files that should be backed up 'just in case'
i.imgur.com/uqk2Cwb.png
Edit: consider backing up abl_b as well.
The phone's on a GSM network. I as able to uninstall facebook directly from the phone, and then use ADB shell to remove the app manager/system facebook files as well.

Yes you need it enabled to use adb.
Just to let everyone know, once you upgrade to Pie, QFIL can not be used to place files onto the partition, but to read or erase.

Sorry to disagree with you but you are incorrect. Qfil can load any file you want as well as restore a backup file. Boot_a, abl_a, laf_a, and so on.

for that model there is no official unlocking, so I unlocked it by the unlock they published first.
flashing the G71011g and installing the v35 abl(https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568), that was the method I used that time, it was the only way there was.

Then flashing back to the 11g and enabling debugging should have worked. Once you issued all commands it should have rebooted minus the bootloader unlock screen you get booting up and then went back into phone into developer options and turned off OEM unlock switch.

yes but after executing all the commands, it doesn't start me and only remains in red case.
My theory is that in some G7 when flashing a kdz the safetynet passes both in (ctsProfile, as in basicIntegrity), which allows the bootloader to lock again, in my case when flashing either any KDZ, only passes me (basicIntegryty), which causes the bootloader does not lock properly, and causes the red case, that's what I think, I've tried several ways to lock the bootloader but always leads me to red case.

The European H850 can now be officially unlocked through LG's developer unlock program page.
Yes, only the European version. Your H850 is from the Middle East? Won't work. You have an AT&T G5? That's not an H850, move along.
LG Developer Unlock Site Here
Prerequisites:
1. European LG G5 H850
2. Computer w/ADB & Fastboot. ADB/Fastboot for Windows here. ADB/Fastboot for Linux/OS X here.
3. Basic knowledge of ADB, Fastboot and Windows command prompt or Linux/OS X terminal.
4. Device IMEI. This 15-digit code can be found on your box, the back of the phone or by dialing *#06#
5. LG developer account (free, click here then click sign in at the top of the page to make an account.)
Directions:
LG's official bootloader unlock directions can be found in the big link at the top of the page..
but I've still rewritten the steps out below while adding some for root and TWRP.
1. Enable USB-Debugging on your phone. USB-Debugging is required for the commands “adb” and “fastboot” to work. To enable USB-Debugging, go to Settings >> About phone >> Software info and tap Build number 7 times. Return to the previous screen, select Developer options and enable USB-Debugging.
2. Enable OEM unlock on your phone. Activating the "Enable OEM unlock" is necessary for the bootloader unlock. To enable OEM unlock, go to Settings >> Developer options and check Enable OEM unlock.
3. Open CommandPrompt or Terminal and enter the following ADB command to reboot into the bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
If ADB is not detecting your device try switching your phone's USB mode from Charging to MTP or PTP.
4. Once in the bootloader, use the following fastboot command to obtain Device ID:
Code:
fastboot oem device-id
Fastboot command will return a string. This is the Device ID which is needed to generate your unique unlock key.
Example :
Code:
$ fastboot oem device-id
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
(bootloader) Device-ID
(bootloader) CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013
(bootloader) F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
To generate your unlock key, you will need to paste together the 2 lines of output into one continuous string without "(bootloader)" or white spaces. In the example above, the Device ID would be:
CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
5. Copy Device ID and IMEI into the LG developers unlock site and hit the confirm button. In a few moments the unlock.bin will be emailed to you. Download unlock.bin to computer.
6. While the phone is still in fastboot enter the following command to unlock the bootloader:
This will unlock your phone AND factory reset your device wiping all data!
Code:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
7. You can now reboot the phone and boot into your unlocked device! Enter:
Code:
fastboot reboot
8. Want root or TWRP? Before moving forward I suggest getting a microSD card and putting the SuperSu 2.65 zip on there. Do not set the external SD up as adoptive storage. Download this TWRP image too.
Reboot back into the bootloader (you'll have to first re-enable USB debugging):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
9. Flash TWRP:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h850.img
For TWRP to "stick" you must first boot directly into TWRP and not back into Android, until after flashing the SuperSU zip.
After flashing TWRP unplug the USB cable and pull the battery. Plug battery back in then boot into recovery which should hopefully load TWRP.
To boot into recovery:
a. Using 2 hands.. use one hand/finger to press/hold volume down.. and use the other hand for the power button. Press n hold both buttons.
b. As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down).
c. Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens.. Yes.. Yes...
10. You will not be able to decrypt your internal data while in TWRP (unless performing a full /data wipe in TWRP and you will lose encryption!) but you can manually mount your external SD card to view the SuperSu zip. Feel free to back up first.. but otherwise.. time to install SuperSu. Click the Install button and navigate to the external_sd, select the SuperSu zip then swipe to install. Now you're rooted and TWRP'd! Reboot into system...
Have fun and be careful.
FAQ:
Q: I have an H850Q from Israel.. can I unlock the bootloader?
A: No, this official unlock program is ONLY for the H850 model for countries in Europe just like LG did for the LG G4.
But... for about a 10 day span last year G4 devices from SE Asia worked with the official site and users received unlock.bin files. :good:
Q: Will more devices be added?
A: While there is no "official" word.. most likely no. Unless another mistake happens where another region's H850's are allowed for a week.
Other than then EU H850 and possibly the T-Mobile H830... no other variants have a shot at being bootloader unlocked officially.
Q: I can't get my phone to show up with ADB or Fastboot, watdo?
A: Make sure USB debugging is enabled and try changing the phones USB modes.. from maybe charging to MTP.. or MTP to PTP.
Make sure drivers are installed if using Windows. Learn2Computer.
Q: Where can I get drivers and things?
A: A good start is my G5 Info thread found here. Google and this very website are good places to search as well.
Q: What happens to warranty if I unlock or root?
A: YMMV I suppose. The official LG site claims that warranty is void if damage is caused by the unlock. Not sure how they could prove such things. I thought there was some EU law that gave everyone warranty coverage even if unlocking the phone. Not sure if that is enforced or even still valid at this time... maybe someone knows for sure?
Q: Can I re-lock the bootloader?
LG does not support re-locking the bootloader... so once unlocked you remain unlocked.
Thanks to @Loggsie for the heads up... the previous statement above is confirmed not true.
It IS possible to re-lock the bootloader with the the command: fastboot oem lock
I wrote a bit more about it in this post HERE... and in the post under that.. @wolfgart shows off some examples.
DO NOT re-lock the bootloader if you have a modified boot/system img... restore them to stock first or you will not be able to boot into android after the lock and need to flash a KDZ in download mode.
Q: So many words... yudodat?
A: Here is a video on how to unlock the G4... up until the 6minute mark it is step-by-step 100% the same as G5. Only slight difference is when you get to the TWRP/root steps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O64GfQORCaE

are you booting back into system first after flashing it by any chance? because if so, booting into system runs a patch to restore stock recovery. so after flashing twrp while in the bootloader/fastboot it'd be easiest to unplug the usb cable... pull the battery then put it back in... then boot into recovery. hopefully TWRP works like that. if so, then you'd just need to flash the supersu zip for root.

I just got my razer phone today and set off on trying to unlock the bootloader. There's no documentation on the process but it wasn't too hard to figure out.
1) - To unlock the razer phone bootloader do the following
2) - Install ADB + Fastboot and google usb drivers
3) - Enable developer mode by going to settings, about phone and hitting build number a bunch of times. then go back to settings > developer options and check USB Debugging and OEM Unlock.
4) - Open a command prompt on your PC and connect the phone's usb cable to your computer. Accept the prompt on the phone for trusting the computer when plugged in.
5) - type the following in command prompt without quotes "adb reboot bootloader"
6) - You'll be at the download mode screen with the razer logo.
7) - Make sure the driver for ADB Bootloader Interface was installed. If not you'll probably have a device called Android under "Other devices" in device manager. If this is the case, install the google usb driver.
8) - In command prompt type the following without the quotes "fastboot -i 0x1532 devices" and make sure your device comes up and not just a blank response.
9) - If it came up now just type without the quotes "fastboot -i 0x1532 flashing unlock"
10) - This will bring up a prompt on the phone itself to unlock the bootloader, use the volume button to navigate to yes and press the power button to confirm.
11) - The phone will reboot and will show a message stating "Your device is unlocked and cannot be trusted" on each boot to show that it is unlocked.

10) - This will bring up a prompt on the phone itself to unlock the bootloader, use the volume button to navigate to yes and press the power button to confirm.
11) - The phone will reboot and will show a message stating "Your device is unlocked and cannot be trusted" on each boot to show that it is unlocked.

Any idea if the latest TWRP and Magisk work with the phone?
@zipxavier How did you get fastboot to work? ADB Drivers work, but I do not have a driver for fastboot. I've downloaded the latest Google USB Drivers and it still will not detect it or take the new drivers even when pointed to them while the phone is in Download Mode.

I had to manually browse the to the ADB drivers inf and use the "have disk" device manager driver install method to point it to the ADB Bootloader Interface driver.

Unfortunately, it seems the 'fastboot boot image.img' command was disabled. So until I get actual system images for the device, I have no way to return the device to stock in the event of a bad TWRP flash as I can't use the boot command to test images.

For me, fastboot would not work without -i 0x1532 and really it doesn't complicate anything.

I wouldn't have been able to unlock the bootloader AND take a picture of the yes/no screen if I didn't go into developer options and enable OEM Unlock.
I assume to lock the bootloader you just flip the setting in developer options?

Typically, the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock" is required.
Perhaps someone who has unlocked their bootloader can verify this....

Hello Razer family
Having come from Sony for many years now, unlocking BL on Sony was always a ball ache with the DRM malarky.
Can I ask is there any such requirement on the Razer as such to protect any DRM keys or TA Partitions as such before unlocking the BL (like that of the Sony)?
I suspect not, however I would like to become accustomed to the ecosystem of the Razer before the day I do eventually unlock BL/Root etc.
(Where on Sony if you hadn't backed up the DRM/TA partition, certain functionalities of the phone would be forever lost.)

ADB doesn't recognize the phone
Hi! I need help with ADB, I think. It doesn't recognize Razer phone, but it recognize OnePlus, without any problem at all. And I don't get a prompt on my Razer, when I connect it to PC. I've tried the most I think, but nothing helped. I'm on w10. Thankful for all help.

Google xda adb drivers.. There is an all in one package that installs adb and Fastboot system wide..
Once you install that, plug in your phone, it should be detected then the adb commands should work. Unfortunately it didn't install the Fastboot drivers automatically and once my phone rebooted to bootloader it wasn't detected. To fix that I had to go into Device manager on w10 and select android device, properties, update driver, and manually find the driver from the list for bootloader driver. After that was installed it ran fine after I unplugged and re plugged it in and I was able to continue

RECOVERY:
There is no universal recovery, cos each version of rom include different kernel builds, if we use one twrp version (with for example version of 135E), wifi will work only in 135E and F versions.
So better wait for Oreo updates custom rom finals that will use same kernel and vendor versions.

BOOTLOADER UNLOCK:
@C10 Bootloader unlock guide
@SS2/SAT Bootloader unlock (if you have unlockcode.bin)
1. Get installed ADB/Fastboot driversand cmd - you can use OST portable (above)
2. Enable Developer optionsin android and usb debugging. Reset phone to fastboot (downloadmode) by "adb reboot bootloader" or by buttons combination..whatever.
3. Cpy unlockkey.bin to fastboot folder and type" fastboot flash unlock unlockkey.bin". You should have response "OK".
4. use fastboot-android.exe from SUT (OST portable folder). Type command " fastboot-android flashing unlock_critical". If its ok - phone screen should give a message about Bootloader unlock.
5. Enter fastboot again (download mode) and type" fastboot flash unlock unlockkey.bin". You should have response "OK".
6. Type command " fastboot oem unlock-go". If its ok - phone screen should give a message about Bootloader unlock.
7. Now you can use my OST nb0 roms to flash via SUT.
@SS2/SAT Bootloader unlock (for Android 7.1)
Download and extract attached zip (SS2- Sharp_ss2_boot_unlock_files.zip, SAT -Sharp_sat_boot_unlock_files.zip) . Manage to run windows cmd. Adb and fastboot drivers installed as mandatory,
1. Enter fastboot mode: connect usb, power off prone or restart same time pressing VOLUP + POWER, on Logo release power button. You have to see "Download mode" on screen (same thing you can do it from android with adb command: "adb reboot bootloader")
2. First of all check if you have tryes left in device-type:
"fastboot.exe oem cert_timecount get"
When is 0 you will be not able to unlock (unless you make changes) so STOP HERE! and visit here
if >0 then go to step 2.
2. Enter cmd in console: "fastboot getvar productid" -> you will get 16 digits serial number
3. Convert serial number to md5 hash ( you can to here https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/)
4. Enter cmd in console: "fastboot oem dm-verity [md5 hash generated from serial number (without quotes)]-> you should see "OK" response if you done it ok.
5. Flash this bootloader. Enter cmd in console: "fastboot flash abl unlock.elf"
6. Reboot to download mode again - enter cmd: "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
7. After reboot, enter in cmd:"fastboot oem unlock" - Get screen with unlocking!
8. Get unlock to flash critical (bootloader) partitions: "fastboot oem unlock_critical" - now you can use fastboot flash abl (or xbl) files.
Note: after accepting unlock popup on screen all data on phone will be erased!!!
When you have unlocked device repeat step 2 with commands
"fastboot.exe oem cert_timecount set 100"
I recommend to type above command each time you use fastboot, because each command used in fastboot makes this value less than before, and if it reaches 0, you will be not able to do anithing with most oem commands
You can relock bootloader anytime by cmd: fastboot oem lock
Happy rooting!

Stop pushing. Be patient.
Before, bootloader needs to be unlocked. I dont have device now, but another guy will write an automated script for this procedure.
As soon is done, there will be manual for unlocking, then comes rooting.
It's so wonderful to see root on sharp s2!
That would make this phone more powerful!!
This is great! Any chance we will be able to unlock the 6/128GB (SAT) version, too?

Hi everyone!!
IMPORTANT:NEVER SELECT ERASE OR FORMAT PARTITIONS IN LGUP. IT WILL MESS WITH YOUR IMEI
Im making a new guide to unlock your bootloader/root your device. Its easier to do a little bit risker but if you do it slowly you wont mess up your phone and in the event you do you can always recover it. Remember to FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS or you may end up messing up your phone, The best thing is, you dont need to downgrade to even unlock the bootloader!!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKS! YOU ARE FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE AND ITS YOUR CHOICE TO DO IT OR NOT TO DO IT AND YOURE THE ONE DOING IT. I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS OUT.
If you cant for some reason access fastboot even flashing the v35 file, use this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/verizon-lg-g710vm20f-t4057031 it says verizon but i think most of the models of the g7 cant acess fastboot so you can try this.
Requirments:
-A PC
-USB Cable to connect your phone of course
- V35 ABL
--The LG FIrehose file
- QPST/QFIL
-9008 drivers FOLLOW THIS GUIDE!! To install drivers properly IF WINDOWS DOESNT INSTALL THEM AUTOMATICALLY!!
-ADB PLATFORM or someway to access fastboot via cmd
-PATIENCE!!
Steps.
Download the V35 abl,LG Fire house file, download and install qppst and install the 9008 drivers (WUNDOWS 10 should automatically do it for you) If not, download it and install them.
Boot into edl mode via connecting your phone to the pc then turning it off. Hold Vo- and power and keep pushing the vol+ button multiple times when it turns off.
Go into device manager and check if its detected. to check open up device manager and check Ports and it should say Some port 9009 Qualcomm or something like that (IF theres a question mark, exclamation mark or it says qhusb bulk even after you install the drivers, make sure you disable driver signature enforcment on windows and install the drivers again. Theres multiple ways to do it just google on how to disable driver signature enforcment windows 10. Same with windows 7/8,)
Run as administrator qfil and select flat build,.
--Programmer Type: Load the firehose file
-- On the top go to configuration and where it says Device type, make sure you change it to ufs.
-- Click ok to save and exit
At this point qfil should be detecting your port . If not there should be a select port button next to it on top.
Go to Tools then Partition Manager
A window should pop up with all the partitions. If you get a shara failed error, make sure your drivers are installed correctly and try rebooting into edl again once more. To do that just hold vol - and power until the lg logo comes up and then keep holding vol - and power again and once it turns off again just do the edl combination again.
Search for abl_a and right click on it. First do Read Data, it should take only a couple of seconds Then Load Image and load the v35 image. It should say GPT Finished or something like that at the log with no errors.
Reboot holding volume - and power for like 20-30 seconds until the lg logo comes up Then hold the down button to boot into fastboot or it will automatically boot into fastboot depending on what version of android you are on.
Open the folder where your adb tools are, then hold shift +Right Click in the folder and open powershell. Type and enter CMD
Enter: Fastboot oem unlock it should output with OKAY, If it gives you unknown command, try a USB 2.0 port and then turn off your phone and while its booting up enter the command before you boot into fastboot. Once thats done dont close the window yet!!
Once thats done you can now restore your other abl so you can boot back into android. To do that run %appdata% in the search bar or in the run window by holding the windows button and pressing the R button. Then you should be in C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming
Open up the Qualcomm folder --> QFIL --> COMPORT#
There should be a ReadData Blah blah.bin in there. Drag and drop that in the folder where your adb tools are
then go back to the window i told you not to close (The powershell/cmd window) then do fastboot flash abl_a (The file name with ReadData) without the ( ).
Now you can turn off the phone vial holding volume - and power and then reboot into android!! You should get a bootloader unlocked or a cannot be checked for courrption message! Congrats your bootloader is unlocked!!
To root: Just back up your boot image via and then find it in %Appdata% put it in your phone then use magisk manager to patch the boot file and then take that boot file and then flash it to boot_a via edl.
I tried my best to write this guide and sorry for my grammatical mistakes. Ill be helping people unlock/root their bootloaders for free during this covid time as well. If you want to donate you can always tell me but its not necessary.
Ill try making a video as soon as i can.

Yes and no. Yes it will unlock the bootloader but the problem with verizon there is no fastboot unless you erase the laf imgs.
Which is why in my guide I use the crossflashed ULM11g it has fastboot and the oem unlock enable button which makes it easier to issue the "fastboot oem unlock" command.
Give it a try and if your not good at doing this with qfil will brick your device. If you run into issues try my guide.

I m stuck in this step
A window should pop up with all the partitions. If you get a shara failed error, make sure your drivers are installed correctly and try rebooting into edl again once more. To do that just hold vol - and power until the lg logo comes up and then keep holding vol - and power again and once it turns off again just do the edl combination again.
always got Shara failed error.
Has windows 10 and tried all possibilities.
The driver not detected automatically so installed manually. Please Help

Fixed it. Make sure whenever you close qfil or everythime you get that error just reboot into edl mode again.
****.. Unlocked bootloader. Lost Widewine L1. Relocked bootloader again. but Widewine L3 is available. Anyway to get it back to L1. I remember My pixel and Op6 could get back Widewine L1 after relocking bootloader again.

From ecperince just keep doing that. Nut before entering fastboot put the command in and press enter then reboot directly into fastboot. Kerp doing it unt you see the orsnge unlocked bootloader on your g7 screen
Hey op or whomever can help point me in the right direction: when looking at used/refurbished g7's which models should I ask sellers about or steer away from like the LMG710R (I know the LMG710TM is a no go, what about the Sprint unlocked for GSM and what's there code if I want to avoid them?)?
Thanks.

Once the bootloader is unlocked with this method DRM is lost forever. Even relocking the bootloader will not bring Widewine certification to L1. I am back to stock with locked bootloader. Widewine is at L3.

How To Lock and Unlock Bootloader - Xioaxin Pad Pro 2021 - TB-J716F
Since I found out that the Tablet supports Project Treble I'm trying to get a GSI-ROM running on it.
Currently with many trial and error I got LiR-ROM to boot.
The first step is to unlock the Bootloader so I thought I will share the process here.
Your data will be deleted while unlocking, try it at your own risk.
Unlock Bootloader manually
Requirement: PC with ADB Fastboot
1. Go to Settings -> System -> About Phone, tab on it until developer settings are enabled.
2. Go to Developer Settings and enable "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking".
3. Open Console and enter "adb devices". Allow USB-Debugging if tablets asks.
4. Enter command "adb reboot bootloader".
5. Write down the serial number shown on the bootloader screen
You can either get the unlock image via this link "http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/tabletboot/[your sn number]/sn.img" or via the webseite
5. Go to the ZUI Unlock Website and request the unlock image
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. You should get a mail where you can download a file called "sn.img".
7. Flash the image with fastboot "fastboot flash unlock sn.img"
8. Enter command "fastboot oem unlock-go", bootloader will unlock now.
9. Restart with "fastboot reboot".
Done, your bootloader should be unlocked now.
Lock and Unlock Bootloader with Batchscript
I recently found a batch script for lenovo devices in an chinese forum and translated it.
It's easy and convenient to use. For unlocking you still need the sn.img from the ZUI Unlock Website.
Download BatchScript
Thanks a lot for your contribution! Mine was unlocked when I received it but it's good to see some guides here.
What is the opposite process, to close the bootloader? Does Widevine L1 recover after closing the bootloader? In the case of doing so, can the bootloader be opened again?
@sakun-ice Sorry, I can't tell you that, sind I haven't tried it now. But I think it should be possible.
Currently I'm trying to get a Custom ROM running, if it doesn't work, I will try to install Stock ROM and lock bootloader again. If it happens, I will post it here.

Thank you very much, I hope you can install a custom rom and this tablet will not be forgotten, since it is one of the most powerful compact tablets.
@sakun-ice I got LineageOS to run on it today, but it still has 2-3 bugs.
Helloi received one unlocked with a globaoe fw without ota's and i flashed the cn one and took the boot.ipg and patched it with pagisk for root and when flashing it via fastboot the device reboots to fastboot everytipe 1nd had to reflash the fw via edl , i did flashed vbmeta img with the known command o disable verification but no success same thing again. Can anyone plz tell me how to root that crap , it was intended to root use only and took over xiaomi pad pro just because the xiaomi needs 7 days of waiting before unlocking , plz help guys .thx so much i can buy a couple beers for the helper
I'm able to flash back to China stock rom but i can't lock the bootloader.
i have placed the sn.img in both the batchscript folder and platform tools
Tried the batch script :
"
Please select your device status:
1. Fully booted
2. Fastboot mode
Status: 2
Start locking bootloader, don't disconnect device from PC!
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
Finished. Total time: 0.016s

Finished. Total time: -0.000s
If prompt says "OKAY", locking was successfull.
Use the volume keys to select "LOCK BOOTLOADER", press power key to confirm.
Done!
Press any key to continue . . .
"
Powershell :
"
PS C:\Users\weeteck\Downloads\platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows\platform-tools> ./fastboot flash lock sn.img
Sending 'lock' (5 KB) OKAY [ 0.000s]
Writing 'lock' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory')
fastboot: error: Command failed
"
@zeroflame15 Did install the driver correctly? For locking you don't need the sn.img, only for unlocking. And did you use the LockBootloader Script?
hmm..i'm not sure if i install the driver correctly. what should be shown in device manager? i did follow PHRS guide and installed the ADB driver but there is this !Android under Other Devices.
Any other driver that i need to install?
And should i be in bootloader mode or fastboot mode to run the command? I run the command at fastboot moder i will get the error above. If i run at bootloader mode will stuckedd at <waiting for device>
@zeroflame15 You have to be in bootloader mode. <waiting for device> is propably the driver.

i have installed all the ADB driver mentioned in this section. Is there a lenovo driver? or any settings within the tablet need to be set to?
thanks for the help

Check out this post:
Post in thread '[Solved] Re-locking bootloader - no fastboot commands working' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...stboot-commands-working.4330019/post-85755663
It can be a bit tricky to get the commands working because it's not always clear if you need to be in fastboot or bootloader.
This worked for me:
Reboot to bootloader by entering "adb reboot bootloader"
After that try "fastboot flashing lock"
Thanks @zxcv88
After installing the lenovo USB driver, the !Android in Other devices was updated.
LenovoUsbDriver_v1.1.34
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

Sort of yes.
Initially after flash to stock china rom, i was able to OTA. But subsequent check for updates will get error saying devices is rooted.
After locked bootloader, tried OTA again and indeed there is another new updates.
Saw some chinese video for those who wanted the rooted status and also to perform OTA updates, they are using magdisk to hide the root.

its seems most difficult to lock/unlock bootloader that flash rom.....
but you need ZUI Unlock Website also for lock? cause seems need only for unlock...right?
No need for lock. Like what others have mentioned. Just a single line command and it works as long you got the right drivers installed.
