h811 VS h815

This is going to sound like a noob question, but I have been a HTC user for the last 3 years (M7 and M8) and LG is a little different.
So, I always check this XDA page for useful information when choosing a phone. I have seen 2 versions of the LG G4: h811 and h815. What are these and what is the difference?
Also I am deciding between the G4 and the OnePlus 2 so what do you think I should get?
Thanks is advance!

i'm guessing h815 is the international version

H811 is t-mobile. H815 is international variant. If you do get a G4 you'll want the H815 but look for the european model or else you won't be able to unlock the bootloader and install new roms (cyanogenmod etc)

You can unlock, root, and ROM them both. You just have to carrier-unlock the 811 if you take it off T-Mobile.

Is there any way to tell on these phones on amazon or anything that I am getting a h815?
Thanks BTW!

H815 North American Variant

I looked through the forums and am still confused on this version.
So only H815 Euro version can unlock the bootloader officially, while the H815 USA version can't.
But I've read some posts peopple flashing H815 USA version with custom roms?
How is that possible and I can't seem to use the right key words to find the relevant post.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx!

US Variant H815 rooting question

Before anyone asks, yes I've searched, but have not been able to find any solid answers. So here I am. I just bought an LG G4 from ebay, I was listed as a T-Mobile model but when it arrived, I discovered it was a US model H815. It's running vx10b-eur-xx. These apparently have locked bootloaders. My question is, is there any method I can use to root this device and run a ROM like CM14, or am I stuck with what it's got? Like I said, all my searches never really come up with a for-sure answer. (hopefully this is in the right spot)

no cm only root if you are on lollipop.
unless its one of the europeans models that can be unlocked. serach for LG G4 than can be bootloader unlocked and chek if yours is one.

Apparently there is a US Variant H815, when I attempted the unlock the bootloader the LG developer website stated that the device could not be unlocked because it was a US model. Not the exact quote, but close enough. Thanks for the reply though.

Rogers Bootloader unlock/model number.

Hello.
I was thinking of getting an LG G4 as an upgrade from my shattered Huawei y6, but I was wondering how easy it would be to unlock the bootloader on the Rogers (Canadian) variant. I can't find anything on this. Also what is the model number for that phone?
Thanks for your time!

You can't unlock officially the Rogers model. The only ones are h811 which is T-Mobile US and h815 international(!) version.
There is a way to unlock unofficially with limitations which can be found in my signature
Besides this you should know that depending on the manufacturing date you will suffer from a hardware issue. Just search for bootloop g4..

Rogers phones are now 6 or 7 #?series I wouldn't would about bootloop
Although I avoided Rogers got an American phone because of bootloader

Thank you I'll keep this in mind. Very appreciated.

Will the G4 in canada get nougat?

So I did some searching online and found that LG decided to update some of the eastern models to 7.0. My question is weather the models in North America will get nougat by OTA or if I can load it manually without root. I just got a brand new H812 model and I'm sick of the OS. Will flashing the official nougat for those models work on my phone?

It's looking increasingly likely that the H812 will not get 7.0 (you can check out the *****-fest on https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/official-nougat-g4-v10-q2-2017-t3567402 to get a better idea).
I do not recommend flashing any other models of official Nougat - with the H812 locked bootloader and the model differences you will most likely hard-brick your device - I am not aware of any H812's that have successfully done this but will stand corrected if someone has managed.
Now with that said, do not abandon all hope. Senior member steadfasterX has been working steadfastly on overcoming all these issues and has recently had a breakthrough development (refer to post #252 in his thread [Bootloader UNLOCK][LS991|H81x|VS986|F500] Unofficial unlock -> PoC).
So hold on and wait for further developments and check his thread there regularly ... he had previously unlocked successfully an H812 but with some limitation but this new development may lead to all limitations and risks being overcome shortly.

Thank you very much

Exiting stuff!

No point in waiting any longer, lol - it is doubtful that the LG G4 will last much more than this year before they all are toast - either by battery or by the phone itself.

Nobody has had to wait. As of March 8 '18 were able to unofficially unlock our locked LG G4 H812 bootloaders, thanks to @steadfasterX 's brilliant & persistent work: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU
Not only have we been able to install a ported official Nougat stock rom but many of us have been using custom Nougat and Oreo roms. Batteries can be replaced and later LG G4 models have not suffered the ILAPO issues that plagued earlier versions.

Custom Rom for LG G4 H812
Can someone tell me where I can find a custom rom for the LG G4 H812? In particular where I can find the ROM for Nougat. I'm curious if I can go from MM to Oreo and skip over Nougat? Can I also go straight to Pie from MM? And if I find any of these unstable or unsuable, can I downgrade after upgrading?

Most custom roms have their own thread in the following forum: G4 Android Development and some of the very best can be found in SteadfasterX's Download Server - steadfasterX is the author of the unofficial bootloader unlock process for the LG G4.
Note: If you have not unlocked your bootloader unofficially following the process in the linked thread in post #6 ([UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU), you will have to complete that whole process first before you can install a custom recovery and rom. Read everything very carefully and make you you understand it fully.
