So, I have been in a love/hate situation with my LG G6. I bought it in a carrier, so it came with a lots of pre installed games (that I can disable but not uninstall) and a lot of carrier bloatware. Wich later i realized that the carrier apps were draining my baterry. So I contact LG in my country and they explained me that I can install a STOCK rom without the carrier bloatware and without loosing my warranty. So here I post the tutorial, but make sure you guys contact LG first to ask about warranty. It may vary from contry to contry.
So lets go.
WARNING:
- Neither I nor Android Central are responsible for any damage to the unit and its components / accessories. Do it for your decision, because our intention is just to try to help, but without commitment if something goes wrong. Read the entire tutorial before you run it.
- Charge your battery fully, you do not know if something can go wrong, even if the tutorial has already been tested.
- The H870 model roms work on the H870i, you can install them without fear of losing internal storage.
- You will not lose your files, but a backup is always good!
- This process does not invalidate LG's warranty, but if you are in an international rom and have to bring the device to service, return to the contry rom (if the device is linked, to any carrier)
