H440N, H445 vs H420

This page is for the Snapdragon 410 based models of the LG Spirit (H440N and H445), the H420 version is based on MediaTek MT6582 and will require a separate port.

How to unlock bootloader

Follow LG K10 instructions, but use aboot from here and twrp from here. NOTE: if you want to use TWRP, you must not boot into Android after flashing it to recovery! When you boot Android, twrp is replaced with the stock recovery.

How to enter flash mode

You should use fastboot from a correctly patched lk2nd, flash it same as you did with aboot and recovery. Note that LG seems to have their own built-in fastboot, but it uses some weird text mode for display, and no commands seem to work.

Installation

With the correct msm8916-mainline kernel patches and pmaports patches applied, you should be able to use https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation and https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation_guide, but you should build the patched kernel with envkernel.sh so it is used.
