unfortunately the bootloader isnt unlocked so we cant flash custom roms to the og pro...from other users it seems that that is true of the international versions as well. next time a lil digging might save u the trouble of asking. there is rooting available so u can make some tweaks...at least for the att version. havent looked into weather it would work on other versions, maybe a dev will answer that for u. as for the docomo gui, the simplest answer to that is just install nova launcher or go launcher or some other launcher and use those themes, i used to use go launcher a lot and it has tons of customizations and controls u can tweak.

That current root method should work for all versions of this phone.

Oh
Thanks for your answers,
1) so the versions for the F220K doesn't fit to the L-04e?
2) can someone give me a link to the root method? (i afraid to make mistake...)
3) the docomo is not only gui it takes control also on the Contacts and some of the features that google usually do.
Thanks!

Here it is
Flash a Korean Rom, by experience it's not dangerous to flash a wrong rom
Look on the forum to know how to flash if you don't found a thread you can test this method

thats the root for this device. again i would advice not to try flashing any roms...so far from whats been discussed in the bootloader unlock forum flashing will either brick ur device or it'll force a factory reset and all u'll do is wipe ur phone. we're almost to the point of being able to flash roms soon tho so give it a lil time. as for docomo pretty much trying to control ur phone, its still a droid, u can install apps to do cover everything pretty much. i rooted mine and loaded a different texting app and got rid of the one included by lg/att. as for contacts u can download different apps to manage contacts and dialers. i had mentioned go launcher before, they also have go contacts that is a customizable contact app, they hae their own text app too...so u dont have to use the docomo provided apps, even if u dont root it

Sorry for the later response... i wasn't near computer.

That unroot method should work for all versions of the phone. If you do some digging you will find it is actually the same root method for the Optimus G.

Yes i tried, famaroot not working on this phone (((

Works for L-04e
Update, way too late. I got a message saying I had successful rooted. It in actuality had not worked. Still looking to root it.
Sorry for the incorrect information and late update.
Originally I wrote:
I just got root on an Optimus G Pro L-04e NTT DoCoMo. Followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946. It took me a couple of tries as I probably did something wrong, but I am now rooted.
I also tried FeeGee (paid version referenced in the above link) to get get the boot-loader unlocked. That hasn't worked for me. I started to do the more complicated manual version noted at the above link, but it looked like it was going to try to do the same thing and so gave up while I was still ahead.
I hope the bootloader unlock becomes available soon.

Thanks for the rooting information. i didnt try rooting yet.
i also hope that the bootloader will be unlocked soon

[Q] Can't root my LG G3

Yup, its answered close to million times
You need to downgrade to KitKat, root it and after that you can choose some prerooted version of lollipop.
Use LG Flash Tool to flash KK and after that you can root it, i used PurpleDrake

Don't root it

You should root if it has a specific purpouse or lets you do stuff you can`t do now AND you know what you`re doing, just my 2 cents
Btw you can restore to stock easily if needed, LG doen`t have a root flag like Samsung.

Cause of any time you made a mistake.....you can go back to your fresh one (located at inside of your machine) believe me your device don't need root ...why .....caue of elephant fly......just joke , cause of at optimum in every things ( font , launcher , speed specially after lollipop) ....indeed

[Q] Temporary Root?

Has anyone tried any methods on the G4? I havn't found any specific information for this device other than somebody saying it can be done.
Z4root?
Wondershare?
iRoot?

1. i dont think anyone tried any of those, brcause the devs saying that there is no root yet
2. if you want you can try it out

Someone in the AT&T forum tried oneclickroot.com and his phone is bricked. If there was root available for any variant other than the 815, we would all be rooting right now.

Well put. And the devs. Are currently working on trying to simplify for people to root, and less chances of people bricking their phone. So we just have to be patient and let the devs do what they are good at. Once they figure it out it will be all over xda. Until then lets just be patient.

Still the safest and THE only safe source of rooting IS XDA. Don't linger around on other weird 'we root all' apps/sites!

DO NOT use the method posted in general thread unless the rooted system is the same version as your current system.
If you have a f500l with 10a a rooted system was linked in the original dev sub forum. I cant try it since I soft bricked using method im recommending you dont use. Ymmv

That really sucks! I'm sorry to hear that. I imagine you'll get a solution before the Sprint users. Sprint doesn't believe in KDZs for some reason lol. You'll get one sooner or later.

Yes its a shame. I was having great fun with the G4.
Some users were able to flash H815 10b kdz but lose or have faint signal. So now I opened a thread asking for help backing up my modem(s). Perhaps safer to wait for possible kdz.

LG-H812 Root

Hi All,
I'm new to the xda forums and hopefully not posting this incorrectly.
I was wondering if there's a root available for my G4 H812?
Thanks in advance!

Did you mean H812 because, I don't think there is any LG H912 available?

Welcome! Good news, there is root for your device. I will direct you to our little thread which can be found in either my signature or here in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
It is a work in progress, so if you have any contributions or questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you, Spudnubs. @imarcel99 you're right, I meant the 812 ☺

I presume that you are from Canada and you're using H812. If that's so then please check out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449

I sure am. I'll check out the three for sure. I miss having a nexus phone...so much easier

Agreed. This is pretty easy though, just a ton of steps.
I have a Bell H812, and I went with the Telus 10g kdz image, then the rooted.
Since I am a Rogers customer, I then went with the Rogers 10h kdz image, then the rooted 10h image.
xposed v45 sdk22 installed using flashfire (you have to sign up for the beta to be able to install it), and then gravitybox and my G4 is pretty happy. I miss custom roms since they incorporated some stuff that isn't in gravitybox but it's minor things.
Main thing to do is to read the threads carefully and not to get ahead of yourself.
Good luck!

Thanks goofball2k. I'll give it a shot this weekend and hopefully I don't mess it up ☺

The thing with using the LG Flash tool is there is a popup that comes up soon after it starts flashing. Ignore that window and then pay attention to the progress window, it took about 4-5 min on mine to finish. It should reboot by itself after it has completed.
For me, I really had to pay attention to step 5.
On the page you opened in step 2, follow steps 1,2,3,6,7,8,and 9 on that page only, then come back here.
Ensure that on step 9, you use the right COM port.

The step to flash the rooted image is key as well, since you have the H812
dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
Click to expand...

Then the key is patience.
If you do the xposed install using flashfire, you really need to have patience and make sure the phone is charged.

Just wondering why this version is so much different to root when compared to the US variants.
