[Q] Progress of LG G4 unlocking & rooting

Does anyone know how far we are getting root & unlocked bootloader in all models of LG G4? I heard about a month ago, we are close as someone is/are working very hard for it.

All I can tell you is don't take the updates!
There's a link at the end of that post to a post from Autoprime that has a bit of information.

September I heard.

No. It won't reverse the firmaware version. It will only wipe all user data. The problem with updating is that it may or may not render the root exploit that devs are working on as incompatible or useless. Also new update might enhance the security in the firmaware with chances to make it even harder to root. The opposite could happen as well.

Do you have the Hong Kong version? I think you'll be fine. The US Carriers are the one making things harder by providing a Kdz firmware with a modified version # 01. So, users can't be 100% stock if they try to reverse. Your's can be reverted anytime. Your phones Kdz file ends "00" ours ends with "01" but wait and see if the root method works or not when released.

Woot! Have they mentioned anything about the firmware versions (other than what Autoprime posted) preventing root?

All i can see is that none of the big boys are been active in the forum so thats a plus and great news. Just because they are so busy working on solutions and i cant wait so i can actually bring few roms to this baby..

Yes. I am having the hongkong version. U relieved me. This waiting is killing me. I had never waited for this long since my Desire S. Without root & unlocked bootloader, it feels like I am not enjoying such a enjoyable phone.

unlock.bin

Can someone upload a legit copy of an unlock.bin file they received to somewhere so I can download it. I am unable to find a copy. Yes I know it won't work with my phone, Yes I know what I'm doing, etc etc etc
I don't have 10 posts nor do I have time to play around on here so i can't post to dev.
Thanks.

Do you have a dump of a locked bootloader to make a comparsion?

Hi,
Try this

This is a valid point, not for an h815....i haven't started messing with this yet but decided I will start tinkering tonight (patience running thin), just trying to get everything together.

Hello, he is asking an unlock.bin for G4, and not of other brands. I cann't read, where he said unlock.bin of any phone or similar. May be, i'm not.

Why yes. You are correct sir lol. Will take it down.. Could have swore it said "any" unlock.bin... ?
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app

will this work? The unlock.bin will generated with Emei...
Think this generate bricked devices

I haven't actually looked at any of these files yet I'm at work. But what I was asking for was an unlocked.bin from a g4 and a unmodified locked bootloader binary dump from the same model g4 as the unlocked. Which I assume would have to be h815.

It seems people are picking up IMEI/ESN/MEIDs from people selling phones and spoofing them.

I guess @davidreavis is looking for differences in unlock.bin and "lock.bin".
So maybe it's possible to find out what makes a locked bootloader to an unlocked one.:fingers-crossed:

i think in the unlock.bin is the Device-ID included and when you start it, this check if the Serial to the Emei is correct
When i have right and the Device-ID is included and it will it replaced to the own Device-ID... with Hex-Editor i think this can work. But i find its a very hard risk and can produce hardbricked devices...
good luck

Revive original note 7

Hey there,
I've just registered in XDA because I've no idea what to do and maybe someone with some knowledge could enlighten me.
The situation: I have an original note 7 on my hands and I updated it to "death update" and now I can not use the phone even if it's plugged in.
The question is: is there any chance to make a downgrade to the phone? I've tried to boot download mode and recovery but there is no answer.
If I change the battery to one from a S7 edge for instance, is there any chance to make it turn on again?
Is there any other solution to turn it on?
Thanks a lot for the help
Cheers!!
PS Sorry for being this my first post, but I'm truly lost. Thaks a lot
