Do you fancy flashing a GSI, custom ROM, or custom kernel on your LG Velvet? Well, you’ll have to either wait for development to pick up on our forums or start porting AOSP yourself, but now that the Velvet can be bootloader unlocked, you can get started with the latter.
LG this week updated its supported devices page to add the new Velvet device. Specifically, they added the LG Velvet models sold in Europe with model numbers LMG900EM, LMG900EMW, LMG900EMX, or LMG900D. You can find out which model number you have by going to Settings > System > About phone. LG added bootloader unlocking support to a trio of other handsets last month, so the list of devices is slowly growing.
If you want to go down the road of bootloader unlocking, you can head over to LG’s online bootloader unlocking page to retrieve the unlocking key. Once you’ve done that, you can follow these steps to complete the process. The phone’s kernel source code is also available online.

As we explained last month, you’ll need to generate the Device ID using platform tools, and you’ll also have to enter the ID along with the phone’s IMEI on LG’s online verification tool. If you perform the necessary steps, you’ll be emailed a bootloader unlock key.
The LG Velvet was unveiled in May, and it features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor, Active Stylus support, and LG’s Dual Screen attachment. It also comes equipped with a 6.8-inch OLED display with a teardrop notch and a triple rear camera setup including a 48-megapixel primary sensor with OIS.
