Lg has many models . One of popular is lg g6.
Usa Uk, Canada gsm and cdma company sell lg g6 models in sim locked condition.
And if you try to use other sim like bell, orange,o2 or at&t, t-mobile on
lg g6 then it give sim error message like sim restricted enter code, network
locked sim card inserted and ask for sim network unlock code or invalid
incorrect network sim phone disabled enter special code. You must unlock mobile

Here I
provide 3 different ways for sim unlocking lg g6.
1
method Lg g6 unlocking bootloader without unlock codes.
You can use this method for sim unlock lg g6 for some of
northern American model, European lg g6 models and Usa carrier free model. But
if you are from other location then also take one try for this method. First
take full backup of your lg g6.
1. Download and install usb driver for
lg g6 on your computer. Now to check
whether proper driver is installed as per your lg mobile. Connect your mobile
to computer and it must be recognized and found under my computer. Make sure
you have driver as per your mobile model.
2. Download android sdk package or
atleast download and install adb and fastboot on your computer. Adb act as a
bridge between android device and computer so that they can communication.
3. I also suggest to install super user
on your mobile.
4.
Now turn on usb debugging and oem unlocking option on your lg g6. For
that go to lg g6 setting – developer option and select both this option.
5. Now connect lg g6 to computer via usb cable.
6. Now start your lg g6 in fastboot or
bootloader mode. For that type this command at adb shell -
adb reboot bootloader. This will
start g6 in bootloader mode.
7. We started mobile in fastboot mode
to find device id of lg g6. Here is how to find device id of lg g6. Without
device id you cannot unlock lg g6 by this method. Use below command for device
id.
Fastboot oem device-id.
Now you will get 3 4 line string in two
line you get around 64 alpha numeric character which is device id. Now note
down this device id.
8. Now go to lge developer site. Create your free account with valid email id.
You will receive unlock file on this email id.
9. Now again go to lge site. Click on
unlock and then submit your imei number of lg g6, device id, your name and
email address and then click on confirm.
If your lg g6 is valid for unlocking then you will receive unlock.bin
file to your email id. Now download that unlock bin file to your computer. Now
paste that unlock bin file to adb folder directory which is at c:\ program
files \...,
10. Now you need to flash this
unlock.bin file to your boot partition to remove network lock on lg g6. As your lg g6 in bootloader mode. Use below
command.
Fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin.
This will modify system boot partition
and unlock your lg g6 now you can use any other sim like sprint, varizon with
you lg g6.
Now
type command fastboot reboot now your mobile start in normal mode and lg
g6 unlocked. You can use this method for
motorola unlock or htc nokia unlock. But
you can not unlock samsung using this method as samsung does not provide
unlock file for any of its models.
2
method for lg g6 sim unlocking by generating unlock code from imei number of lg
g6.
You can generate network unlock codes
for any of lg mobile including lg g5, lg v10, lg v20, lg stylo, lg k10 etc.
there are many apps and software available at playstore and internet which can
generate unlock code for free. Even model specifil software are also available.
Lg has different apps and software.
Nokia and samsung galaxy has different apps for generating unlock codes.
To generate sim unlock code you need following information about your
smartphone.
1. Imei number of your lg g6. And if it
is dual sim then sim1 or master sim slot imei number.

4. Location where mobile is sim locked.
Those software apps generate
different kind of unlock code named 1. Network unlock code nck also considered
as sim unlock code or sim network unlock pin. 2. Service provider unlock code
–spck. 3. Defreeze or unfreeze code – this is used when you mobile is hard
locked or permanently locked as you have entered wrong sim unlock code
manytimes. This is also used when you mobile is region locked or roaming
locked. 4. Nsck – network subset code.
To unlock fido sim you need both nsk and spck code.
You can also generate
sim unlock code for samsung, nokia, motorola and htc mobile using this method.
Samsung unlock code is mostly 8 digit. Nokia unlock code has 15 digit and Sony ericson
unlock code is having 15 and 16 digit.
Once network unlock code is generated here is how to network sim unlock lg g6 using
unlock codes.
Now start lg g6
with foreign or non accepted sim now you get dialog box to enter sim network
unlock pin or sim unlock code or special code. Enter nck code which you have
generated. Now you get message network unlock successfully and restart your
mobile. But if you mobile don’t ask for unlock code and only show network
locked sim card inserted. Then start mobile with accepted sim or without sim
and then go to dial paid and enter 2945# lg model number# tmobile model number

depending upon how you lg sim locked sim
lock,network lock, service provider lock etc. select network lock and enter
your lg sim unlock code. This will
unlock lg g6 and you can use any sim on that mobile.
3
method network unlock lg g6 by finding unlock code house inside lg mobile.
When lg mobile is sim locked then sim unlock
code house inside lg mobile. Here I will give you places where lg unlock code
hidden inside mobile. First look at /dev/block/ folder. Some of android mobile
keep unlock code in this folder. Also look at root/ carrier folder and also
search for unlock.bin or simlock or network lock file. You need to root your
mobile to have access this folders. In
some of motorola or htc mobile unlock code house at dev/block/mmcblk0p6
partition you can use su dd if command to copy this file. Unlock code is in hexa decimal so convert it
to decimal and then use as network unlock codes.
Latest samsung galaxy, lg, motorla
smartphone are locked at boot level. There are mostly using kitkat or
marshmallow os. So unlock code for samsung galaxy, lg, nokia and motorola are hiding
inside boot partition. Or even modifying boot partition can also sim unlock
cellphone. You can use apps which can
copy or backup mobile partition or you need to root your mobile and copy this
partition. There are many free apps available which can copy partition of your
mobile but it need super user access. So
install those apps on your mobile give super user rights and copy boot partition. Or
Root your lg mobile.
For that download proper rooting software. Install usb driver of your lg g6 to
computer. Install sdk – software developer kit from lg site or you can also
download from internet. Also install super user on mobile.
Now enable usb debugging and also
enable oem unlocking on your mobile. Now on your computer go to command prompt
and use adb shell. And type this command
dd
if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot (aboot is a boot partition name
it may be different on lg ) of=/sdcard/aboot.img. now script code is inside
boot partition which force to enter sim network unlock pin when you start lg g6
with non accepted sim. So if you modify boot partition and reflash to lg g6
then it will not ask for unlock code and you can use any sim on lg g6.
