Steps to unlock Sprint LG G6

  • First, install LG drivers and LGUP on your computer
  • Extract the patch LGUP_V20dll_Patched
  • Inside the patch just unzipped, you will see the folder “Model” and the file “LGUP.exe” which requires you to paste in the path where you have already installed LGUP program and replace the ones that already exist. (Generally, the path is C: \ Program Files (x86) \ LG Electronics \ LGUP)
  • Boot your Sprint LG G6 in Download mode by long-pressing the Volume Down button while connecting the USB cable to PC
  • Launch “LGUP.exe” and it will automatically recognize your G6
  • In the “File Path”section, choose the H87315c_00_OPEN_CA_OP_1026.kdz   file
  • Mark the “PARTITION DL” option and then click on “Start”
  • Once the process started, you will see a pop-up window, called “Partition List” in which you mark the box “Select all” below and click OK
  • There will be a popup window “LGUP Common”that askes you the following: Partition (s) changed “Persist”, “System”, “cache”, “OP”, “Userdata”, simply click YES
  • The process will now start, and it takes about 5 minutes. Wait for this process to complete
  • LGUP will then show you the following message: “COMPLETE! … Click here to continue,”click on it to reboot your LG G6

That’s all! Disconnect your LG G6 from your computer, and it will boot up. All you need is to configure it as a new device. If you face the bootloop issue, boot your phone into recovery to perform a factory reset. To do so, press the Power + Volume Down buttons at the same time, and wait for it to restart. After that, then release the Power button and press it twice without releasing the Volume Down button. When you are in the “Factory Data Reset” screen, simply choose “YES”.

  1. Doesn’t work. The menu that pops up says:

    * Device Test
    * ELT Test
    * Factory Reset
    * Log Service

    There is no option called “Field Test”.
