I do gooling and find many ways to root but it do not work for my case.
I found that there're two best ways:
- Do flash back to 2.3.4 .042 and do rooted , then update via wifi to 2.3.4. .062. I have unlock bootloader then i think that i can not try this way.
- Other way, Go to fastboot mode and then enter recovery section, try to update rootPhone.zip . But when i enter fastboot command it say that you have to rooted your phone first!!!
What should i do now ? I don't want to go for ICS because of battery's time.
Anyone can have suggestion for me.
Thanks,

the only method is that unlock bootloader

hi roy56120, thanks for your comment.
But i think that you do not read my post, i have unlocked bootloader, but when i try to enter command in fastboot.exe folder , it say that i have to root phone first. Damn, I need fastboot to root but it requires me to roots first???

Fastboot doesn't require rooted phone. You need unlocked bootloader and correct drivers.
You can also relock bootloader and then make OTA update.

thank you, i did googling many times before i created this topic.
I also look at some threads on your signature but it can't help?
Can u suggest me another way to root my phone?

There are few threads asking the exact same question, and in those threads contains the answer, so if you have actually googled and not found it I am surprised.

dude, i have read all the thread you post. It actually does not go with my case.
arcording to those threads, I found only one way to root on my arc, re-lock bootloader and do root on 2.3.4 .042
But, the thing is, my arc can not re-lock bootloader :-S because of the method to unlock

Then flash back to .42 and try again.

Currently there is no way to root with locked bootloader. You need recovery to root at the moment and the only way to get one is to flash a kernel with recovery embedded in it, which requires an unlocked bootloader.

I'm on mobile currently so I could not see that. But that shouldn't be possible, all exploits (what we know of) are patched on 4.3 so the only way to get root would be to push files through recovery, requiring an unlocked bootloader currently.
I asked doomlord yesterday about if there were any exploits or tools and he said "No exploit currently works".

I did a TA backup in 4.2.2 with root then I unlocked the bootloader to root 4.3 through recovery and after that I relocked the bootloader with the TA backup I got earlier. And again, just search, if you had searched before opening a new thread you would have already found your answer

[Discuss] Capturing the OTA

Since, sony released new update couple of days ago, with 15.4.a.1.9, rc2, many of us have unlocked bootloader, so can't install it via OTA and also not through PCC.
So I was wondering if anyone knows how to capture the OTA?
If anyone have ideas, please share, I can try to capture it.
BTW, I have tried to install the ota, even on unlocked bootloader, but it takes me to cwm, nothing happens, not hard/soft brick etc...

Should probably know what you're doing before you do it..

Hello may be i can help..
First tell me are u familliar with recoveries,flashing,boot etc
Do u knw how to get to recovery mode in lg g4?
The most simple way to root ANY DEVICE is to use vroot.apk. it can root almost evrery device. Downliad it fro google not from Playstore.try itand tell me if it works.or if not works u can try iroot version of v root for computer windows.

Don't **** with your device if you have no experience with root. Your version H818, as far as I am aware; has not been unlocked or rooted yet.

Well it's not, as the only device that can have the bootloader unlocked is the H815 EU unlocked variant. The is no way to unlock bootloader and fit any other variant yet.

It is the EU VERSION

Im sorry it was a typo.

12A update from 10B help?

So right now I'm on 10B, rooted with xPosed installed. However, I saw that the 12A update included touch improvements, and my touchscreen has been giving me issues for a while now.
Is there anywhere I could find a guide on how to update to 12A from 10B and keep root and xPosed? Or would anyone be willing to create a guide? Thanks!!

From my understanding, that is the magic question. Updating to 12a w/o the bootloader. If 12a root image flashed without 12a OTA first, result is a image mismatch. No 12a KDZ file yet.
Thats what you would need from 10b.
Back in the holding pattern.

Wait a little longer my friend. There's supposed to be a bootloader unlock coming for users on 10b still.

:highfive::fingers-crossed: If there is, that would be absolutely fantastic.. I guess I'll hold out a bit longer haha. Are there any "fixes" for the touchscreen issues right now then?

I'd like to see someone rooted on 12a post their build.prop. There were some edits before that helped the touchscreen. Maybe diffing the latest build.prop changes might help the rest of us out.

Yes there is indeed a new bootloader unlock coming out for users on 10b. It would be in your best interest to hold out until it's released and then unlock your bootloader and just flash a custom ROM when they become available.

Yeah, I realize that's pretty much one of the rules, but I'd think that if they're saying there is definitely a bootloader unlock coming soon, I'd want to know where they got that from, right?

Darn it, I had updated to 11A when root was available for it

You can use touch screen booster and it will help to decrease touch issues drastically...
Untill we get the bootloader unlocked this is really helpful. [emoji12]
