Hi everyone!
I bought an LG G4 really cheap on Saturday and was wondering about unlocking the bootloader. Coming from a OnePlus One with CyanogenMod 13, i have found the G4 quite difficult to adjust to with LG's rubbishy reskinned version of Marshmallow. It would be cool to install CM13 instead and have TWRP recovery on here as well, but i'm a bit worried about the bootloader because unlocking it is supposed to void the warranty. On the OnePlus One, the bootloader was of course locked by default, however unlocking it did not affect the warranty of the device.
If i proceeded with my plans of unlocking the G4's bootloader, what would happen to the device which would indicate to someone in the shop or at LG that it had been tampered with? And if it does leave evidence behind, is it possible to conceal this by relocking the bootloader?
I'm not too sure what the law on it in the UK would be, i thought someone said that if the bootloader unlock had no relevance to any fault with the device, then legally they'd still have to repair it under warranty. It might be different in the US. :confused:
Anyone know about this subject in more detail?
Thanks!
