Hey,
just bought the g4 and updated to MM. I'm planning to root it the next week. Question is, should I downgrade to LP and unlock +root it or just unlock, flash twrp and continue with root? Any tricks in MM?
Hi !
Only 2 ways at this time :
- downgrade to LP + root with adb comands
Or
-stay with MM + unlock boitloader + instal twrp + root by flashung SuperSU

Hi Guys,
I tried rooting my Marhsmallow LG G4 now and I couldn't get passed the step where you type in "ID" in accordance with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765.
I read somewhere that it was because I upgraded to MarshMallow.
Now - I want to know - If I downgrade to Lollipop can I follow the above root again and it will work?
Thanks!
Yeah.its possible. I returned lollipop from mm using LG up. Used to inject root and I'm using currently my g4 with root access.my recommend try to inject root. You don't need to open bootloader lock.

Does the method of loading a rotted kdz still work? I am wondering if I can do this with a Canadian H812 that was updated to M?

I tried to load kdz which download lg-phone-firmware.com with LG flash tool but it did not helped.I tried load lg up then I returned to LL.I didn't get any problem.when you back to LL from MM and root LL.you will continue to get OTA update if you dont install a custom recovery But you cant install OTA update.you will get OTA but you can not install.it warn you that 'your device has root access' etc.you can not root MM KDZ right now without unlocking bootloader
I have an LG H815 USA version. I have updated to MM using KDZ and LGUP method. I am not rooted and I can't seem to find a method to root and install TWRP on this device. All methods require "Unlocked bootloader" but H815 USA does not have an unlocked bootloader (not yet ).
So how do I proceed ? is there a method ? maybe downgrade back to LP and there is some method for perm-root and custom recovery installation ?
Nope need the bootloader unlocked, so i think your luck is out

well theres bootloader locked G4 that cant be unlocked and the ones the can...
so youll need to know wich one you got.
you can root MM 6.0 only with unlocked bootloader....
you can root and install xposed with locked bootloader but on LP.. and you need to push a rooted system image...
but youll also need to know if you can downgrade to lollipop.. on mine thers antirollback V2 and V3. so going into latest firmware 20o tmobile will get me V3 and i cant no longer downgrade as LP is V2 this will brick phone..

Assuming that you unlock the bootloader, root the phone and change the splash screen....
Reboot the phone.....
If Asus logo splash screen is black your bootloader is locked.
If Asus logo splash screen is white your bootloader is unlocked.

Why do you want to unlock the bootloader?
For the time being, there is no way to unlock the bootloader in MM. May be in the near future.
If you want to unlock the bootloader in MM, you need to temporarily downgrade the bootloader to Lollipop, unlock the bootloader and upgrade back to MM by the patched bootloader.

No.
To upgrade to MM from LP your firmware has to be at least 184.
You can use OTA or download the MM from ASUS site and install the MM in ADB environment with adb sideload command.
Do not upgrade MM via TWRP. MM install package does not compatible with TWRP. However, there is guide to modified the installation script in order to work with TWRP. The guide was written a year ago for Lollipop .
If your intention is to use custom rom in MM then you need an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery like TWRP.
In that case you need to unlock the bootloader in lollipop before you upgrade to MM. Like I said, there is no direct way to unlock bootloader in MM.
If your intention is to have rooted MM, then you do not need to unlock the bootloader.
You do not need to install the TWRP. You can use tethered TWRP to flash the super su zip file.

I answered your question in the other post.
Hi,
i want to get TWRP on my LG G3 D855 with Android 6.0 and Software-Version V30n (latest version, i do all updates when they was available).
I know that i must unlock my bootloader, but all information to do that is older that 1 or 2 years. (something like that: https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-locked-bootloader-bump-xdatv/ )
Is it possible to use this guide with my Software-Version?
If i unlock the bootloader with this method, is it possible to install TWRP and root it with this guide ( https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-lg-g3-d855/#comment-1948 ) ?
I never done that before with any Android device, so i am a noob.
Sorry for my bad English and thank's for helping me.
You need to downgrade first to version 30j, 30f, or lower to root the phone first. Then you can flash a bumped v30n zip and use it with root like magisk or supersu
Sent from my LG-G3
And what is a bumped .zip and where can i get those?
What does this .zip do if i flash it to my phone?
