Thats really sad im still waiting to root my phone. But support for H815 SEA is very low :crying::crying:

I have a Taiwanese version...I have root. I wanted a different rom as well so I installed MS7's rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-eu-l-p-t-sea-twn-t3176195

Pretty sure you can root that model check the easy root method. Im on H185T Australian and have root

But i need confirmation from a SEA variant holder.

As I understand it the low effort root works with the SEA variant. Is there any downsides to flashing the EU image on the SEA device?

I'm a SEA variant holder here.
It's fine, you can use the Low Effort Root method. You can also flash the EU open KDZ without any problem.
You lose VoLTE, but to me it doesn't matter so I don't really care.
I'm running the latest 10E ATM, and it's much much better than 10B, so flash away.

If you don't want to loose anything you have to inject root yourself. You need linux for this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
This guide describes how to backup your system partition to an img file.
Then you have to use linux to inject root. You will get a rooted img file.
You can then copy the file back to your system partition.
If you want to check your "dd" parameters, you can use my guide to calculate your values:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
IMPORTANT:
Backup your files before doing this steps!
If you don't know what you are doing, wait for someone else to do it.
Download the kdz for your phone, so you can flash the stock rom if it doesn't work.
Do you have some experience with linux?

SEA Variant user here. Singapore set also. No issues when flashing in regards to rooting part.
If you just want to root, you could just take up flashing either via the Low Effort Root, or you could go for alternatives like the rooted system image that I have created or others, but make sure they are using EU OPEN KDZ in case of conflicting basebands and such.
And if you are going to upgrade to 10d/10e, I'd suggest downloading the KDZ, normal flash it, so that you can get your baseband and kernel updated before flashing the root image of your choice.

This is not a how to root a kdz.
This is how to root the system.img.
I know the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62704051&postcount=9
I think you know what the difference is?
The kdz is a packed file which contains system, modem, boot,... files.
The system.img is an raw image of the system partition.
To root a kdz, you had to unpack it, inject root, repack it, create new checksums,....
That's a complex precess...
So I guess you don't know how to root a kdz?

You can download the latest version as a kdz.
Use this link and enter your IMEI:
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI
You will get a download link.
Type
csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=
instead of
pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=
to download the file.
Then you can use the LG Flash Tool to flash the kdz to your phone.
You will loose root. Don't know if you have root.
You will have to root you phone again, but with the appropriate system img.
(Or inject root yourself...)

Thank you
I tried and I got "/H81510B_00.kdz"
Same as what i have now
???
I don't have root yet anyway but wanted the latest os available.
Don't know why the latest does not appear

For your info, creating a rooted KDZ is currently not possible. If it was people would have done it already. And yes I do know the procedures to unpacking and repacking a KDZ for your info If it was possible to done it, I wouldn't be posting rooted images of just the system image itself and would have provided people with the rooted KDZ to save their time And also from what I know, I don't think there is any way for you to apply a root package in a KDZ and flash it together due to the modified md5 sum and such.

Then it seems that only V10b is available for your phone.
Other users flashed the EU image which is 10e.
But why do you need an update?
If everything is working fine you shouldn't need an update.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to take a few days to digest. If I can ask a quick question without starting a new thread. Does the adb backup, backup the system partition as well or just data and apps?

No adb backup can not backup your system partition.
It can only backup program settings, apps and data.
To backup your system partition, you need (the Send_Command.exe and) the "dd" command.

I have already rooted using the low effort root method. Used a pre-rooted system image. Still on 10b-SEA. everything works fine. Xposed is also working.

Flashing Someone Else's Backup?

Is it possible to flash a backup from another person's P930 via CWM? The reason why I'm asking is because I want to unlock my phone.. but I'm on CM9. Is there an easier way to go back to stock and unlock besides the unbricking method?

Yes, you can restore someone else's backup. However, an easier solution is to install one of HO!NO!'s flashable LG ICS ROMs, perform the unlock from there, then restore your previous installation.
This is the ROM I'm talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803617
Note that his ROMs will flash the V20c baseband automatically, so you may want to flash one of my flashable basebands to return to whatever baseband you want to use.

I thought in CM9 you could directly flash the original boot, system, etc, etc, with adb shell dd if=mmcblk0p(insert#here), without going through the KDZ stuff.

You can, but I think flashing a ROM in CWM/TWRP is easier than that. I'm not recommending to use a KDZ.

Yeah, you're right. I forget that some people haven't ever unbricked.
I have another solution for you: a flashable version of the AT&T v10f ROM, which should work for someone who hasn't unbricked before. I just need to upload it first.
---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------
Alright, here's the ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/?r6ea17p45nda0
Instructions: Download both parts, then extract it. Put the zip file onto your SD card and flash it. (Don't extract the zip file!) Don't forget to wipe data first.
I had to upload it as two separate parts because of file size limitations on MediaFire.

LGUP - NEW!!! - INSTALL KDZ - MM or LP - FACTORY RESET/UPGRADE

NEW software!!!!!...... LGUP WILL FLASH YOUR KDZ files
Download LGUP from here http://www.filedropper.com/g4 or here https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2dw48uqh4hku8m/G4.rar?dl=0 or here http://oceanhost.eu/eps4h4pmwphu/LGUP.zip.htm thank you hyelton for this link :good:

Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.

For me it's show in LGUP as unknow device.
reboot my phone, remove battery and anything else don't work.
I install LG Bridge to test, and nothing seem to work.
After make some test and search, i find some info modified by S3V3N into his rom (cust partition) that he have modify into this file:
/cust/OPEN_COM/cust_OPEN_EU.prop
Code:
ro.lge.swversion=[COLOR="Red"]some info[/COLOR]

ro.lge.swversion_short=[COLOR="Red"]V10c[/COLOR]
restart my phone and woow it show correctly in LGUP and i can refurbish my phone.
TO UPGRADE TO MM from LP - make sure BIN file is ticked and in the File Path point it towards the MM KDZ you have downloaded. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CLICKED UPGRADE! This will update you from LP to MM with out wiping any of your info. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a full wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
If you are worried about losing your data after a full wipe, why not use the LG Bridge software to backup and restore.... it works fine!
YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!
There is no need to enter download mode! LGUP will do it for you.

INSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install then select images then select recovery NOT BOOT then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery.

Do you need root so use this method to upgrade to marshmallow ?
H81520A_00.Kdz flashed (by upgrade option) succesfully. It takes 10-15 mins(longest part is "android upgrading" screen.), and i lost root access. By the way root access is not necessary for upgrade.
So since it wasn't clarified, I'll be the one to ask...
Will this work on a unit without root (which is yes according to the OP), and without a bootloader unlock, ie the Taiwan (TWN) variant of the H815.
I completely understand it's a complete wipe and root will not be retained.
I would also like to know about this..... will it work on a unit with a locked bootloader... TWN variant?
downloaded from a different mirror re flashed no problems

1. Backup your important files and make sure you have enough charge.
2. Download this to the INTERNAL storage of your phone (not the external as card): http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20g-images-kdz-flashable-t3450503
3. Boot into TWRP recovery. (Use the quick boot app from the play store if you're having trouble). If asked if you want to restore to factory settings, select yes.
4. Flash the downloaded zip file. Be patient as it will take a long time. Don't pull the battery.

Your IMEI number is written on the back of the phone, under the battery. Write it into the box on this website: http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html
The third line tells you your phone's model. Mine is H815, for example.
Then search XDA/Google for Kdz file.
Failing that, use the LGUP tool to restore your phone. You're not the first to have this problem and everything has been answered before if you search for it.

It looks like there is a camera update and some AOD updates as well. I am a bit intrigued by the new AOD options.
Is it just me or the new Outfocus (portrait) mode is broken? After I take a picture it tells me that the portrait effect couldn't be applied because it couldn't find a face in the saved picture?
P.S. Also intrigued by the ned AOD options, and fade in animation.
Edit: Fixed it by clearing data and cache.

Impossible. Just reapply magisk and TWRP.
Anyone else have issues trying to update? I've tried twice on via the on phone update both times it downloaded but reboots to just error symbol and after manual reboot says verification problem. I've also tried twice via Bridge but it seems to fail in download phase.

Wouldn't you have to go through the whole process of re-rooting it again?

You can always wait for someone to make a flash able zip of it with stock recovery removed

If you have TWRP just install Magisk again and you are back to being rooted.

I thought if bootloader was unlocked then you couldn't install an OTA and have to flash it through LG bridge or whatever the program is for flashing kdz? This was last I remember but maybe I missed something.

Right. You can't install inferior partial image OTA, if you have TWRP.
Wait for the superior full image KDZ. Flash through LGUP, DL PARTITION, but UNcheck recovery partitions to keep TWRP. At least that's how all the other V30 do it, if we don't have flashable TWRP ROM.

Thanks. I'll wait for a flashable TWRP Rom since I've not rooted my phone yet. Might as well just wait for a few days. Hope someone will post one soon.

I don't think that will work for TMobile users. We need to wait for a zip we can flash in TWRP.

Of course. You are right. Everything has a tradeoff unfortunately but OTA usually requires you to reinstall Magisk to get root back.

OTA won't even install with TWRP.
And you need TWRP to get Magisk.
Why do people keep only talking about Magisk? TWRP is why you can't and don't want to install an OTA.

Why not?
You can use LGUP, to DL PARTITION.
You can Uncheck recovery partitions.
You can then boot to TWRP. (hardware dance buttons)
You can then flash Magisk, the no encryption and no Root Check files again.
Is there something I'm missing?
Well, for people who were silly enough to replace their Download mode with 2ND copy of TWRP, NO they can't do that. You need Download mode to flash KDZ via LGUP. But everyone else with H932 can do that.

Well if you check running thread for h932 root, you will see a guy who said he wished he had a second copy of TWRP on LAF. He paid for it. Not sure what happened but when a DEV gives that type of advice, you take it.

If you flash laf again, will that bring dl mode back? I'm all gung ho to learn how to convert kdz to a flashable zip. Not sure if my linux machine has enough computing power though.

Thank you. I'm all set, still have it on my sd card from lafsploit.
I'm more interested in learning to convert a kdz to flashable twrp zip.

[H930] New Pie build V30q with Sep 1, 2019 security patch is here!

Running this build since last weekend and is fire.
I can confirm performance(like RAM management) and smoothness are improved, the overlaping notifications is fixed as well and even LG's terrible gesture navigation implementation seems refined (I recommend using FluidNG to have back gestures as a complement). Battery is fine tho
Please don't try using OTA if you're rooted.
If you are already on PIE V30B rooted IS EASIER to Backup you data, Restore the provided TWRP v30q BACKUP, then RESTORE your data and root . Latest stock version and all your data intact.

H930 Pie V30b KDZ: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1RB6idQ9XrgtPm6TscT0uFG9IEmNIp_G-&export=download
H930V30q OTA file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DeZeGltktcFg9FHAGPGhwByRM2IQ5G26
You must use Patched LGUP for this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1haYE2RzoP6m45SoMO4hgNsPEc7LMP3q6/view?usp=sharing
OFFICIAL PROCEDURE
1. First you must flash V30b H930 PIE KDZ.
2. Run LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi and install it.
3. Replace the files in LGUP directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP) with the files stored in downloaded LGUP Patch folder, after connect phone in file transfer mode (MTP mode)
4. Open LGUP, select FOTA Upgrade and load LGH930AT-V30b-to-V30q-EUR-XX-SEP-02-2019.up
6. Click start.
TWRP RESTORE ALTERNATIVE
Requirements
Unlocked bootloader and working TWRP.
Steps to install
1. Download the .zip file and unzip it in your desktop.
2. Cut the extracted folder to V30+\Internal Memory\TWRP\BACKUPS\LGH930XXXXXXX folder, which store TWRP's backups.
3. Reboot device in TWRP and restore 2019-09-09--PieV30q_PKQ1190414001 backup, all partitions are fine and will not mess your IMEI/carrier signal.
4. This backup is already pre-rooted(just in boot.img so you have to reflash Magisk after wiping data), dmverity-encryption off and rct disabled. A full wipe is recommended.
5. Reboot to system and that's it, you are running latest and finest stock Pie :good:

Is indian jio volte working on twrp method?
Just a reminder: You cannot use a OTA file if TWRP is installed, the bootloader can be unlocked, but you must have stock recovery for this to work. Refurbishing V30b is advisable.

Hey thanks for the procedure.
can you please make a system dump? It'll be useful for los16 with pie blob development?
Congrats to the five V30 users who will get this update.
Can I flash .kdz file with "Upgrade" (NOT Refurbish) option without losing any data? Cause I can't begin an update (the FOTA EASY UPGRADE shows for few seconds and disappearing with no results). Of course I'm working with V30b-EUR-XX version.
error comes out "windows cannot find WPDAPI.exe make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again" and press ok then new error comes out "0x2000, fail. mtp is not running." I can't update, please help me.

You'll be able to when KDZ is released.
This is for people who want to run leaked, beta -- possibly buggy -- firmware. Yes, some people want that. If your wish to experiment, then that's fine as long as you realize it's not necessary to get this update...
When it's ready LG will release it officially and there will be full image KDZ available in the KDZ thread, as well as TWRP flashable zip made by an XDA Dev.

WPDAPI.exe is a file provided in LGUP zip in OP, you have to patch the files in LGUP directory for this to work.

1) I'll write what I want in reply to anyone I want. It's not just for you, it's cautionary tale for anyone. Just make sure you know the risks.
2) EU H930 V30b has long been official. There's a full image KDZ and XDA Dev made TWRP flashable zip in MY KDZ thread -- so your statement makes no sense.
So what if you're running official publicly released firmware? What you're now trying to install is not officially public release firmware (yet, and no absolute guarantees it will be).

I used V30b by KDZ install and it was as buggy as the v30b OTA that I had used for a while too.
This V30q it's a huge improvement over the old version and I can say it with sure, because I have tested all these.
BTW, it's not beta anymore(is in internal test phase), they are just delaying the release with bussiness bureaucracy.
