LG-H812 Root - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm new to the xda forums and hopefully not posting this incorrectly.
I was wondering if there's a root available for my G4 H812?
Thanks in advance!

Did you mean H812 because, I don't think there is any LG H912 available?

Welcome! Good news, there is root for your device. I will direct you to our little thread which can be found in either my signature or here in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
It is a work in progress, so if you have any contributions or questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you, Spudnubs. @imarcel99 you're right, I meant the 812 ☺

I presume that you are from Canada and you're using H812. If that's so then please check out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449

I sure am. I'll check out the three for sure. I miss having a nexus phone...so much easier

Agreed. This is pretty easy though, just a ton of steps.
I have a Bell H812, and I went with the Telus 10g kdz image, then the rooted.
Since I am a Rogers customer, I then went with the Rogers 10h kdz image, then the rooted 10h image.
xposed v45 sdk22 installed using flashfire (you have to sign up for the beta to be able to install it), and then gravitybox and my G4 is pretty happy. I miss custom roms since they incorporated some stuff that isn't in gravitybox but it's minor things.
Main thing to do is to read the threads carefully and not to get ahead of yourself.
Good luck!

Thanks goofball2k. I'll give it a shot this weekend and hopefully I don't mess it up ☺

The thing with using the LG Flash tool is there is a popup that comes up soon after it starts flashing. Ignore that window and then pay attention to the progress window, it took about 4-5 min on mine to finish. It should reboot by itself after it has completed.
For me, I really had to pay attention to step 5.
On the page you opened in step 2, follow steps 1,2,3,6,7,8,and 9 on that page only, then come back here.
Ensure that on step 9, you use the right COM port.

The step to flash the rooted image is key as well, since you have the H812
dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Then the key is patience.
If you do the xposed install using flashfire, you really need to have patience and make sure the phone is charged.

Just wondering why this version is so much different to root when compared to the US variants.

I agree. Without the detailed directions in the original post in the VZ S4 forum, important directions to make this work is lost.
For example, I'm going to be posting directions this weekend that will allow this to work on a number of devices without using adb.
I'm trying to make this better, run on more devices, make it faster, etc... I can't be managing snapshots all over the forums.
Yeah, I know, it's exiting to have root. Let's not complicate it unnecessarily.

I figured people would probably still ask about the BL. However, you can still do a lot of tweaking on the stock ROM if you are rooted.

Okay, if you have the knowledge to know which rom you want on your phone, you should know how to use the search button my friend. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm very tired of babysitting people when this topic is all over the forums and can easily be found within 30 seconds of doing a Google search. You need to learn that the community loves to help people, but only if they can help themselves. And you should read the forum rules and never post anything in the Orginal Android Development sub-thread of the G3 forum because that is for actual development only, not questions, and not to be harsh, but you wont ever have anything to add to that. Also, since you apparently can't even do a simple search, I'll go ahead and warn you to be careful about what roms you flash and only flash ones specifically for the D855. I also ask that you read EVERYTHING on the OP's page before even downloading the rom. That being said, to start getting your phone ready to flash, you need to first root your phone with StumpRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
After you have carefully following all of these instructions and you have properly working superuser access with SuperSU installed on your device, then you can proceed to installing a Bump'd version of TWRP for your phone. Once again, make sure you download the correct file for you variant and follow this guide verbatim:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Once that is done, you should download whatever rom it is you want to flash, IF AND ONLY IF IT IS FOR THE D855. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you don't flash a rom for a different variant. Follow all directions on the OP's page and you should be good to go.
Good luck on all this but next time, please learn to search before you start a new thread. This topic is literally all over the forums and is so easy to Google and find out for yourself in no time. If people would just read they could figure out a lot more without having to let others do the thinking for them.

If rooting this phone is hard for you I really pitty your intelligence.
Lol. I said easier to root not "hard"!!!
Even if you do root not many custom roms which is big no no for many. Then the lag and cartoonist ui boy it's a toss up between touchwiz and LG ui which is the worst.
Won't be buying LG nor Samsung anytime soon.

Rooting is seriously either one button after installing an APK or connecting your phone to your computer and pressing ENTER 3 times.

Fair enough but not much in way custom roms which is one of the main reasons for rooting. Apart from the lag This was one of the other reasons i got shot of my lg.

I have a questions about roms. Which rom for LG G3 (D855) is the best ?
I read a lot of good opinion about SphinX G3 V2.0, because V3.0 is not for D855.
EDIT:
I have a problem with Stump Root, because I see a error: "device is patched, sorry". What do I am?

Purpledrake should work on 10l, many people have said that it does. Strange. The device is patched means LG has blocked stump root from working.

H815L root?

Hello XDA.. I own an LG G4 (H815L Variant), and I am very interested in rooting my G4 H815L (Israeli variant).
however, I am extremely unsure whether any of the available rooting methods will work with this variant (by rooting I mean that I also need to unlock the bootloader and TWRP)
anyone know if any of the currently available methods will work with this model? as far as I know, from trying, the official method does not work just yet with the H815L.
thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.
yes i have it and rooted with no problem, follow the guide on the original android development forum.

and when it comes to the "command to run", do I download the file listed under the:
[ International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features) ]?
nevermind, figured it myself. thanks for the help! this post can be closed.
I made a rooted rom for H815L based on the Israeli 10c version & running it on my phone since yesterday.
Everything is like stock including all regional features (like RTL alignment & Hebrew on dialer)
if someone is interested i will upload it.

Well I did not use the official method. I used the method presented at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
followed instructions to the letter, while downloading the drivers which are labeled: "All G4 (except Verizon) - http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...Ver_3.14.1.exe"
and the Command to run I used was:
"International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features):
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
using these with the instructions the OP wrote in that post just got my phone rooted.
I do recommend that you do a little more research before attempting... would feel bad if you got your phone bricked.... cause as you can see, in the command to run he mentions not to try it one the H815P...
you better ask him which command to run you need to use before committing to this method.
I wish you luck friend!

From what I understood... the "etc" meant that all the H815 variants (H815L , H815T, H815P, and so...) can be considered as "NOT"
Did you notice anything wrong after doing it? Everything fine?

Yes its a shame. I was having great fun with the G4.
Some users were able to flash H815 10b kdz but lose or have faint signal. So now I opened a thread asking for help backing up my modem(s). Perhaps safer to wait for possible kdz.

Please point me in the right direction...

Ok sorry in advance for seeming like a noob... I haven't rooted an android device since the galaxy prevail years ago.... I currently have a sprint galaxy s6 ( BOL1 UPDATE) and I have been looking for how to root it but either I'm missing something or I haven't seen any root specific posts regarding the BOL1 UPDATE... I just want to be safe before flashing anything so any guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated...

Might be time. I would want to bring in @JoeFCaputo113 who created the original guide that we all used to get started.
Joe, a lot of people are asking if the same methods work for OL1. (They do, but people ask.)
And we can address using the new SuperSU (which Joe originally posted about) as well.
Thoughts?
