Some time this year LG will be releasing an official tool to unlock the bootloader on certain LG smartphones. They originally announced the idea last year around the time of the LG G3’s release, and we haven’t heard anything more until today.

With LG providing this new tool, developers will be able to use the company’s hardware for development means in a official capacity. For now, there’s only one device supported, and that is the European model of the LG G4 (H815). If you have one and want to pop open the bootloader, just head on over the LG’s website, and they’ll take you through the unlocking process.

LG plans on adding more devices to the their development program, such as varying models of the LG G4 and older devices, such as the LG G3 and others. There isn’t an exact date when LG will offer a bootloader unlock for these devices, though.

Keep in mind that by unlocking the bootloader on your LG G4 and other devices they support in the future, you are voiding your warranty. So, if anything were to go wrong, you won’t be able to a get a free replacement or repair, as it would be your fault, not a hardware malfunction on the manufacturer’s side. Either way, if you want to get unlocking, just hit the source link below!
