So after finding out that you can change a network locked phone to the carrier of your choice, I've made the decision to buy a T-Mobile LG G5 because it has an unlocked bootloader which will allow me to install a custom recovery and such for rooting. The Verizon version of the G5 simply doesn't allow such things.  Bootloader issues and such. My concern is will flashing a custom recovery once the T-Mobile G5 is network unlocked revert those settings? Will it stay unlocked for me to use my Verizon SIM or once flashed will it only accept a T-Mobile SIM?

Buying a carrier branded phone to root and install custom software... LMFAO

Better to ask on the respective XDA forum

You won't find your answer here. Good luck

not like I had a choice to buy a network branded phone man... nobody is selling the international version for a good price anywhere online. trust me I looked. plus I have a thing for getting stuff to work via the super complicated way anyways... lol. I'll need that luck
