Ah I see :/

Btw: You can officially unlock the bootloader of some of LG's phones, see http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader....

It worries me that the unlocking of many phones relies on manufacturer websites that might not be there one day. Hell, even the Xiaomi Mi4c required unlocking with "identity verification" via SMS.

What's the alternative though? We probably don't want the phones to be unlocked from the start for security reasons.

The Nexus approach - fastboot oem unlock, maybe controlled via a software switch in the OS.
