Gone through the LG dev site, put in IMEI and Device ID, message pops up saying
the page at developer.lge.com says:
Unfortunately, your device (EE,UK) does not support unlocking the bootloader.
Is there a way around this, I would like to root my phone...and this whole "hold" over my android device isn't good at all.
EDIT, Sorry, i've got the LG G4 which is the phone in question, not the LG G3 as stated in my Sig.

It's official - there are a billion frickin versions of the LG G4 software out there and we don't stand a chance.
Sorry you can't unlock. Check the root thread for that.

Ouch... you serious?? nothing at all.. That's actually s**t.
Surely you'd be able to root using the method in the root thread? I'd hope so as I'm getting this phone on EE in a couple of weeks and was hoping it would be possible

Should be able to root using the method in the root thread with no issues.
As far as getting a G4 on EE, go via CarphoneWarehouse as you get a Euro unlocked device and not an EE branded device.

Dam that's a *****. I'm wondering if you could flash the KDZ of the EURO unlocked device and convert it from an EE device to an unlocked one. I know this used to be possible with Samsung device, this is my first LG (apart from a Nexus) so not fully up to speed on these things yet. May be worth investigating though.

Ok found that,
right.... How on earth can I tell what version mine is?
does this low level root actually bypass the "not being able to unlock bootloader" ??

If your worried about not picking the right version, then I would avoid proceeding with that method. As if it isn't one of the version in the OP, you need to change the commands too. Post a screenshot of your Software Info screen and I'll point you in the right direction.
But you need to read through both those posts before proceeding to understand what your doing.

As far as I can tell, you only have a carrier specific version of software and no actual hardware differences from H815 itself, which makes sense EE just using their own software (like the twats they are). This being the case you should be able to proceed with flashing the H815-10c image and gain root, this may also mean you can unlock the bootloader.
If the worst happens and you can't boot, you can just use a kdz image to revert to stock following the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
You can gain a stock KDZ with this url, replace 'YOURIMEIHERE' with your imei number:

Answering for the team so if the guys want to correct me, feel free, just attempting to head off more distracting lines of "not" frequently asked questions. THANKS FELLAS!
1. YES, this is simply a method of gaining root, nothing more, nothing less. Your FOTA will likely fail OR worse due to a) being rooted and failing checks or b) system changes you may or may not make after you ROOT but this is a "Method TO ROOT" so again, nothing more, nothing less. (Question is out of scope)
2. NO, why would you even want to get an updated root method app that you are supposed to uninstall after you have rooted? (Question doesn't really make much sense)
3. NO CLUE and out of scope, this is a "Method TO ROOT", nothing more, nothing less.
4. Probably but if you want to help, you tell @jcase but it's out of scope and as an exploit creator, not really his/the teams deal or worry.
5. Out of scope, this is a "Method TO ROOT", nothing more, nothing less.

If i flash a ROM such as Genesis with flash fire, i don't need to be rooted first do i? I mean the ROM will be prerooted won't it? Also can I flash fire with a locked bootloader.

Sounds good in theory, but FlashFire will ask for root privileges to do it's work. Thus you will need root to run FlashFire.

Ok. Thanks. Once I've rooted I can then just flash fire the ROM without the need to unlock the bootloader?
Maybe, try it and let us know. I wouldn't do it on a model that didn't have a KDZ available though.

Many of the H815 have bootloader unlock available now, so some development should appear soon. I'm concerned that the two Nexus phones and possible G4 pro being released will cause people to forget about the G4.
Not many just some and with loss of warranty its hard to just unlock. Even exynos phones see more development than this. If LG can remove loss of warranty probably it will jumpstart the development as more people will not be scared of losing their warranty. They also need to release a unlocked bootloader for all variants. Even rooting is a nightmare when looking at the steps needed

True. You'd think as its been out since April there'd be a simple one click solution by now.
I have done some searching, and it seems I already have my answer to root, but I will ask anyways as nearly all threads are at least a year old.
I have an LG G4 LS991 running Android 6.0, Hardware version 1.0, provider SPR. It seems I do not have, and likely will not ever have root, but has anyone come across any way to achieve this?
Also, I have an update that I need to know if it is worth running, or if I should delete it, in hopes of root. If deletion is the answer, how do I go about doing this?

Hi all,
my H810 was initially bootloader-locked, so i checked its anti-rollback version in the hidden menu (SVC Menu->Version info->Anti-rollback Version) and i got "non-fusing device".
The phone worked fine, but i hate the word "locked", so i decided to flash a H811 20o kdz with LGUP.
Flashing was successfull, so i converted my H810 to a H811 and i unlocked the bootloader
Now i have TWRP and i can flash custom roms, BUT
...
I live outside US and my device is now a T-Mobile sim-locked H811 :crying: so i can't connect to any mobile network anymore!
Now i can't check my anti-rollback version: if i try in the hidden menu i get a "com.android.phone has stopped" message and i can't see the info i need.
I also tried with the
Code:
*#*#244773825625#*#*
sequence, but with the same result.
So, i have some questions for you experts:
1) there is another way to check if i have still a "non-fusing" device?
2) the anti-rollback version depends on the rom or on the hardware?
3) can i flash a H815 international kdz in order to restore network connectivity?
4) what else can i do?
thanks in advance

1. You've must likely ruined the device by flashing H811 firmware. That is a big no on doing that.
2. Flashing H815 firmware will be the exact same never flash wrong model firmware.
3. Only way to regain network connectivity is if you flash back to H810 firmware that's meant for the device. (Hopefully you didn't loose your efs. If lost it's gone forever turning the device into a wifi only device).

Oh my...
That's why I do not share in public my method fully yet. And always saying and explaining about the fuses and anti rollback.. Read my unlock PoC thread..
Yes I'm working on exactly this. You should be able to flash and so convert a device to a h811 and so be able to unlock as you already achieved. But you made a big mistake.
Two tbh.
The first was not to read my PoC thread.
The second flashing a fusing firmware!!!
I believe that autoprime was trying to help but really I heavily test all possibilities and this is not such easy and risk free.
Ok so regarding your current problem.
You're kind of lost and you can flash only firmware with the same anti rollback. But it could be worse.

If you look beyond the title of his thread and read and actually understand what his problems are currently, paying particular attention to steadfasterX's response, he has screwed himself somewhat with what he has done. He has no mobile network connection, he is stuck on his anti-rollback version and limited to what he can do now - that is not a successful unlock or major breakthrough. Rather than posting for posting's sake and trying to achieve Senior member status with little comprehension behind you, suggest you try and learn ....
IF you had actually read and understood anything in steadfasterX's bootloader unlock thread you would know that he has achieved a SUCCESSFUL unlock of an H810.

See post # 505 in steadfasterX's bootloader unlock thread. You are the type of member that needs to read it, understand, adopt it and take it to heart.

I only read when its necessary. I read first sentence or two and then normally ignore the rest unless I really have to. I have a busy life and have better things to do than read a forum...

Boss... I read about 50% of USU method thread, understood about 90% of what I read. I'll read the rest when I actually perform it. I was wondering... whats the difference between the fastboot mode in the official unlock vs the USU method? Is it talking about the same thing??
Is there another service to send in my HTC 10 since the service by Sunshine doesn't exist?
I am unable to unlock the bootloader, the Sunshine app gives me a failure. I have no OEM bootloader option in the developer tools. I've made several attempts using the various forums so I can root the phone without success. I feel it's time to send it out to someone who can assist me.

The fonefunshop link states that service is only available to UK residents and I am in the US

I only see that under the Unlock service page.
I do not see that stated anywhere on the s-off mail in service page, which is what I linked above.
It clearly states:
"Worldwide Delivery available on this item."
Further down that same page.

Is there another source?
Here is their response regarding nonresidents:
Sorry we only offer this service within Europe because in the past we have had bad experiences with peoples going missing in transit as well as large import duty tax bills here in the uk and your side too because the governments deem them taxable even though they are coming in for repair

I only know of a couple other shops that do it, but they are both also in the UK.
Other option, would be an XTC2 Clip/Power Adapter/Java Card, if they even still work after the HTC 10 has been updated to Oreo(not sure on that part).

I have orderd the XTC2 Clip/Power Adapter/Java Card and cables. Is the procedure available to unlock and root the phone available using this method?

I'm guessing,
http://xtc2clip.org/
Ebay. Do you have the procedure?
I've found this https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/unlock-your-htc-10s-bootloader-0178418/ after I read this thread, did you try that?
I'm a noob in a similar situation, have a completely stock non-branded Nougat and want to root and maybe install Viper or Lineage, but been putting it off cause I had to find a way to back up all the apps. Now I have to figure out a way to root/s-off quick, before my warranty runs out next month :S
edit: http://theroot.ninja/about.html seems to be up??

If your htc 10 is still on Nougat and ISN'T a Verizon device, then I think you can use Sunshine to S-OFF, don't hold me too it, but I believe you can. :good:
just download the app and try it out, it won't take your $$ of anything if it doesn't work, can't hurt to try.
I believe it is not working for Oreo and Pie htc 10 variants, and Verizon is needed to do by mail I think unless they fixed it for Verizon N as well.
Don't remember. but the website still says they do mail in, but I don't think they still are.
Give it a try and report back.

Got this message:
Failure!
SunShine was unable to gain root access to your device. You may need to gain "TempRoot" or "PermRoot" through some other means. For HTC Devices, unlocking with HTCDev.com and rooting with a custom recovery may work.

You can 100% unlock the bootloader @ htcdev and flash custom ROMs, you don't need soff for that.
I wouldn't update from N firmware until you try a few things out.
Maybe unlocking bl and rooting then sunshine will work?

Ah, that's good, didn't know that.
I'm gonna wait a few more days for an answer from the devs of the last app on my phone that can't back up via adb and its own backup process is broken. After that I'm gonna do what you said.
Is the guide I linked above ok or is there maybe an XDA guide to doing that? I looked at the Guides subforum here but there's too much stuff and I've never rooted a phone b4 so I'm not sure which thread I'm supposed to be looking at :silly:

Yea since you have the US locked version, or I think that's what you meant by unbranded. What's your firmware (in download mode) x.xx.617.xx or x.xx.401.xx
Here is the link for bootloader unlock: https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

No, I've got the EU version (or I suppose I do, I bought it in the EU). I meant that I got it from a retailer, not a cell network company like Verizon, since I see those need some special treatment. Software number is 2.41.401.41
