    Hello,

    when trying to run the adb reboot bootloader command, it is saying no devices found even though i installed adb. any thoughts on how to find my device?

    LG Mobile Developer was terminated on December 31, 2021, so LG doesn’t issue the Bootloader unlock bin keys anymore.

    Is there an official alternative method? If not, can you please update this as outdated information.

    Thanks

    The official LG bootloader site was taken down on December 31, 2021, and I was always given a message that my phone, a US998 V30+, did not qualify, and that I’d have my account terminated if I tried that phone again. So, I’ve never gotten the bootloader unlocked on my V30+.

    Like Marcus, I’m trying to find an alternative method.
