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

you should try to push the correct build.prop via the adb. then all should work. and don't put OPEN in build.prop you should put spr (small letters)

you still have custom recovery? if yes, adb side load sprint rom from the sprint development section, then flash it (make sure it flashes successful) Now, your phone should be a sprint g2 again. Now try flashing stock sprint rom via lg flasher tool. It should work now.

updating through lg flasher tool, will not work. Because, it would think your lg isn't a sprint one anymore. so, first check if you have root, then flash custom recovery via this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
then, once you have custom recovery, flash an sprint rom from sprint development section. Also, to do this you need basic ADB knowledge which isn't that difficult.

Cant flash TWRP

Hey guys I'm kinda new to Android I've had a chappy phone and now an LG g pad after attempting root about a dozen times I finally managed to get it root now I am trying to get TWRP to backup the tablet and change the boot animation later but every time I tried on my pc it would fail so I installed flashify and tried with that I then I got a boot error saying security issues. The tablet stills boots but I believe the problem is the locked boot loader. Thanks for any help offered.

Have you installed root checker or another program to confirm that you do, in fact, have root? Start with that.
If you haven't installed a superuser app to handle permissions, I'd do that as well before trying to install TWRP.
I'll admit I had troubles installing TWRP as well, when looking at the forums, make sure you're downloading the version for your EXACT version of android and firmware, and following the instructions for the right version as well. Good luck!

you could not have unlocked your bootloader bump just copies the signature so the bootloader thinks it is official lg software. So again it isn't unlocked and it never was!!!!!!!!

The G3's bootloader is not unlockable. When you rooted the phone, well you rooted the phone, didn't do anything to the bootloader.

I dont know if its the CPU-Z app or just how it registers with third party apps but, i had the app be for rooting my phone and the bootloader still showed unknown. So it doesnt mean its unlocked, but it doesnt mean its not. But as far as im aware. The bootloader can't be unlocked by consumers or devs at this time. T-mobile has it's g3s unlocked though. So its possible just, not easy. But with a work around up and running. Its kind of better cause then its easier to wipe all signs of mods from it to re-validate your warrenty.

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]

[Help] LG G4 Update and root things

Hey i just bought an lg g4. And it's something weird about it. Its an h815 version. The imei, the serie and the numbers are the same as the box, nothing weird. BUT the phone is alredy rooted. From fabric? Its rare. But thats not the problem. The problem is it has 5.1 and i want the update to 6. I checked ota and nothing. So i want to make an update from lg bridge from pc. But ITS ROOTED and i read it can make troubles. So i unrooted the phone with supersu and then i uninstalled it. I download rootchecker and the app say the phone is not root anymore. But SuperSu app still appearing in the system apps list. I try to make theorys. But nothing makes sense. I dont wanna ask if its weird because it is. The question is if i could install the update without risks.
Extra information: when i open the supersu app it says that the binaries need an update but couldn't download it.
If its usefull i upload a screenshot of the software info
Sorry for my english im not a native speaker

it is once you know. its pretty safe to do.
first you must have the LG drivers i think in link of LGUP they have it.
download LGUP install in computer
find out wich variant you have and download the corresponding KDZ. that you need to find out.
KDZ's should be there in LGUP link where it says OTHER GREAT THREADS TO HELP YOU storagecow has KDZ files
just read each step carefully.
