Is there a way to have these features, without root? I did rooted the phone and installed XZDualRecovery, without unlocking bootloader.
My problem is, that the camera app takes longer to open and also, the risk of losing warranty is high.

Hey guys, I have few questions about my phone.
The phone is fairly new and still has factory warranty. I wanted to root it but im afraid it will void the warranty. Is there a tutorial on how to 'unroot' the device so they wont find out about the root? Is it worth rooting the phone? I dont want custom ROM, just the root with official system (Lollipop 5.0.2 iirc)
I wanted to record my gameplay, there are many apps that record without root but they cant capture sound. They use microphone instead of the sounds 'in-game' making the sound quality very bad. Anyone know of an app that will record the sound without using microphone?
Also, if i have root can the apps that use GPS enable and disable it on the go? I know that this function was disabled in 4.3 but is there any way to get it working again?

Don't root your S6 Edge, on rooting process, a chip burns on S6 and disable Knox and Samsung Pay for ever, without a way to recover it

I dont use samsung pay anyway but the question is, will i be able to get my warranty back after i root the phone? On S3 I just had to flash back the official firmware (didnt reset flash counter and they still accepted it for repairs). Would disabling knox void the warranty?

Yes, you lost warranty
Before repairing, they check the chip which burns on rooting process, when it is burned, they will not repair your phone without pay money
Can I set it back to unrooted official state? I was avoiding rooting till at least a month but being unable to turb the shutter sound is too much.
Thanks
I could get silent pictures with a third party app.. but nothing works with the lg camera app
Even I need the same info.anyone there to help please?
Rooting does not trip knox on the S6, it's the modified bootloader/recovery that trips knox. Rooting itself is okay. The same goes for the G4, rooting can be reverted, unlocking the bootloader (if possible) will leave a mark, but everything will work (not like on the Samsungs)
Hello,
I have had my G4 H815 locked to UKEE for a good few months now and I have been holding off on rooting as the official way of unlocking the bootloader I believe breaks the DRM keys and it was hinted that there was a small possibility than a nicer way may come about. It's not looking like that at the moment and I am now clucking to get my root apps and freedom back.
I have had and HTC Desire, Samsung S2 and Xperia Z1 all rooted many times and flashing multiple different things etc so I am by no means new to rooting but I am not a technological whizz kid and looking at the root methods for this, as with every new phone it seems, rooting methods are getting more difficult. My questions are;
1. Can anyone tell me what they have experienced not working when the bootloader gets unlocked? I understand it may just be video streaming? Can anyone confirm the likes of Netflix etc won't work? Any other apps / ill effects? I assume YouTube still works? I currently use Barclays banking app, that didn't work on old phone while that was rooted, I'm assuming with the bootloader unlocked it will never work again on G4?
2. Is Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks the best root method to use? Or is it, as I guess [ROOT] TMO/VZW/ATT/SPRINT/INTL Root your LG G4 with Low Effort Root! the best to use? Or is there another you suggest that is easier / better / harder to destroy my phone?
3. Slightly O/T but being on EE they are extremely stingy with updates so I am still running 10C, I have seen about FW up to 10H or more. Is there somewhere that has the change logs of these different firmwares?
"I believe breaks the DRM keys"
This is true for the Sony Xperia devices, but not really for others that I know (Samsung S6 and HTC M9 included). I have unlocked the device on day 2, and everything works: YouTube, My own banking apps (they give me a warning tough that I am rooted, but working without issues), all camera functionality, video streaming (no Netflix here to check tough), IRDA, BT etc.
The banking checks for root (if you have SU access and not if the bootloader is unlocked), this can be hidden with the RootCloak app, but depends on the banking app itself. As I said, mine warns me that I am rooted, but everything works.
As for which is the easiest method, I prefer flashing SuperSU package with TWRP recovery, since the bootloader is unlocked. It's safe and failproof.
The other methods you listed are mainly for devices, which can't have their bootloaders unlocked.
Thanks. I know the Xperia devices broke drm keys so that the bravia engine etc didn't work. But at least with them you could backup drm keys and relock the boot loader. I read somewhere that the g4 breaks the keys but it was only really streaming type service's that may be effected.
Yea Barclays just straight up won't work and there rootcloak doesn't have an exploit to hide root from that as far as I could find.
I read somewhere on this earlier too that there is an unofficial unoficial bootloader unlock being worked on sounds like not far off. May just wait and see if that way comes to light soon and if it's a safer way and revertible for warranty purposes etc as it can't be done after accepting an update looks like.

Hi
I'm not really knowledgeable about this phone, since this is my brother's phone, so excuse my ignorance.
The phone is running Kitkat 4.4.4. and was never updated. The main reason we want to root it is so we can circumvent the SD card write restriction in 4.4.4.
The newer Xperia devices have some kind of DRM which triggers when the phone is rooted, and it erases some camera algorithms while eviscerates the camera quality. Does this phone also have this kind of protection? Or will nothing happen if it is rooted?
Thanks
The DRM is removed when you unlock the bootloader. Rooting have no influence on Camera quality (or any other phone functions). You can root your device with no fear
Model: LG-H815
S/N: 602
My motivation to root is, to enjoy the full features of AdBlock, Greenify, ViPER4Android, and also play around with Xposed framework.
What are the disadvantages?
Will I stop receiving updates to the operating system?
I can't use the stock Camera app?
If on marshmallow you will need to unlock your bootloader which (according to LG) will void your warranty.
Rooting alone won't stop you from getting updates (although installing them will unroot you), and won't stop you from using stock camera as before.
Probably won't be able to use instant payment banking apps.
