RELATED: How to Unlock Your Android Phone’s Bootloader, the Official Way
LG posted on its developer website regarding the change. Here’s what the company said:
That means anyone who owns an LG smartphone on which they’d like to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM or root the device will need to make it happen before December 31, 2021, as that’s when the website will shut down.
After the service is terminated, all information provided on the website and issuing the bootloader unlock key will not be available. Personal information collected to provide services will be destroyed. However, we store personal information for a fixed period of time if required by relevant laws and regulations.
Of course, you’ll still be able to use your LG phone long after December 31, but if you ever plan on tinkering with the device, that’s the deadline to get that bootloader unlocked and ready to go.
