Hey! first post on XDA and new to LG!
Is there a specific version of the Verizon LG G4 If I am concerned about being able to root my phone?
Are all shipped with the same OS?
What I am looking for is:
What Bootloader version, assuming v0 is best? do some come updated?
Version of android it comes with
What baseband version (cant find this anywhere, hope I am using the right terms, on my samsungs in the past it was usually something at the end)
Thanks!
You want version 10b which should be on the box.
There are some that have been updated to 11a which is v1. 10b is v0 which is what has the potential for the bootloader unlock. v2 is 12a.
As for baseband version, you should concentrate more on the software version as they all use the same baseband version which is just the software for the radios on the phone.

Hi Guys
I'm completely confused.
I'm on a H815 in the UK. My phone is an O2-UK branded handset and my latest branded software version is H81510E_00 (v10e). I'm currently using the EU open unbranded firmware which works absolutely fine.
However - around the forums I'm seeing versions V10F, G, H etc so now I'm completely confused.
What is the latest software version available for EU handsets? Is it E? Why are some people saying that D is the latest, or they're installing E but it's showing as version D.
What's the definitive answer as of today - 22nd September? Can we keep a stickied post at the top of the forum simply stating which official software version is the latest for which handsets?
Cheers
Nick

+1. I have the V10d european open unbranded but I noticed that some other people have a lot of different versions.
I came here to ask the exact same question.
The numbering is just messy. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62467663&postcount=77
The newest European system is 10E. You might find around 10F but it is only for AU (might be the same as 10D in EU) and 10G/10H again for different regions.
The phone was released with 10A. Then autoprime released a rooted 10B image but called it 10C because 10C was set in build.prop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-10c-stock-rom-kdz-t3141866
*note*
the original KDZ file was named 10B but build.prop shows 10C... therefore I am going with the 10C name for now.
ro.lge.swversion=H81510c
ro.lge.swversion_short=V10c
ro.lge.swversion_shortdate=V10c_11-JUN-2015
ro.lge.factoryversion=LGH815AT-00-V10c-GLOBAL-COM-JUN-11-2015+0

Since then we have the above confusion. But you are good to go with 10E EUR. Even rooted images are available if you are rooted and twrp-ed.
is there a website which shows releases like samobile for Samsung?

Thanks! Still confusing as hell, but that's made it a bit clearer! Not sure how Apple can ship a world phone (i.e. one hardware version) yet LG/Samsung seem to have 5-10 different hardware revisions for different parts of the world!

Don't know if I should flash 10h which seems specific to Emirates..
This is my very first time actually owning a device with that many Versions, in the past I've only rooted Nexus devices which is easy and straight forward.
I currently own a LG-H815; Main Software Version: V10e-OPT2-HQ; Software Version: V10d-EUR-XX
So do I have a h815 10e or 10d?
Do I have to go from a h815 10e/d to the EXACT same pre rooted image or can I use pretty much every h815 10abcdef Image?
I am sorry if this has been asked before, but the search function seems to not work atm.
Thanks in advance
I am new to this site but have used it in the past. I have rooted phones previously, Galaxy s & Note 2, and had no problems.
My current p[hone is an LG g4 h815T on MM6.0 provided by Optus in Australia. I am looking to root this device in the near future but have found it difficult to find a site that has versions of carrier roms. My experience with Samsung and the availability of stock carriers ROMs from Sammobile has possibly spoiled me.
I am looking to find a site to download the above firmware so that when I root my device I can, if necessary, return to the carrier provided version. I have seen a version on this site which I have downloaded, AU h815T 10H.kdz, which I believe is Lollipop 5.1. Can someone confirm this for me.
As for rooting the phone I am unsure if it is available for my device and would appreciate some advice as to whether it can be done yet or will I have to wait. Waiting is OK. Details of the software are as follows :
Android version : 6.0
Android Security Patch Level : 2016.01.01
Baseband version : MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00101-M8992FAAAANAZM-1.31581.1
Kernel version : 3.10.84
Build number : MRA58K
Software Version : V20d-505-02
Thanks in advance to all who provide this advice.
Firmware

I found a kdz at the following link on XDA. It is about reverting to stock firmware and how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Good luck
Hi all,
I have an H815 USA version, which I got off eBay but expect to be from the USA G4 trial program, and I have a few related questions:
What is the most recent .kdz file that anyone has tested with this phone?
Is the most recent (6.0 if applicable) supported stock ROM the best, or does it have any significant known bugs, for example failing to send/receive SMS messages?
Does putting on another stock ROM permit any sort of unlocks that were not previously possible with the USA version firmware?
The phone came with v10b-EUR firmware, and would not update itself to anything more recent. However, I downloaded a Polish .kdz from here (H81510E_00.kdz): http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/H815/ and successfully installed it using the LG Uploader (2014 version) tool today.
This appears to have fixed all but one stagefright vulnerability. I am interesting in upgrading to one of the Marshmallow versions there, if it is advisable by the crowd here.
Based on a screenshot from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/diy-h815-usa-variant-hardware-boot-loop-t3311623), it looks like user rogconnect may have a 6.0 ROM installed on this version of the phone, but I am worried about bricking my device or upgrading to a firmware that is buggy and not being able to revert.
I have boringly used an LG G4 for almost two years now. Just after a few months of using it, I had the bootloop issue, LG gave me another G4 which I've been using for more than a year. But I believe it is time to unlock the true potential of my phone. I've transferred all my pics and vids and similar stuff to my computer, so now it's go time. The only thing is... I don't know what to do.
Model number: LG-H815TR
Android version: 6.0
Android security patch level: 2017-03-01
Kernel version: 3.10.84
Build number: MRA58K
Software version: V20i-TUR-xx
These are the info I think are relevant. I have no experience in rooting whatsoever. What do I do now? (an up-to-date detailed guide also works for me)
Hey,
I still need help for this.
I've checked online and couldn't find anything for H-815TR v20i running Marshmallow.
Can someone come to my rescue?

It's very easy:
You can't unlock your device because LG allows unlocking of the 815 international version and 811 only.
Marshmallow can be rooted on unlocked devices only (so not on yours).
If you really need root you need to downgrade to lollipop.
Downgrading to LL requires a compatible anti roll back version. Search the forum for the code which displays your current antirollback version and the how-to for downgrading and rooting LL
.

Oh okay.
So I can't root my phone as is, I need to downgrade to Lollipop to do that.
Well I was thinking of flashing some custom ROMs and maybe underclocking for more battery life but given that this is my only smartphone I'd better stick to its current state then.
find the service menu for your phone. Google lg g4 service menu. call that number. check anti roll back version (last entry) if 0 you should be ok to downgrade, if not 0 downgrade will likely brick your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
read carefully and ask a any questions before using LGUP if unsure
after that you can root with https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
or upload your img file and kindly ask someone to root it for you and re-upload it
Anti-rollback version is 0.
