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.

Thanks BTW!

Hi I have a H815 G4 from EE uk running fw version v10b-230-30.
Can I flash any eu H815 KDZ to upgrade fw?
Sorry for the noobness I'm coming from 4 years of Samsung and this is my first LG.
Thanks in advance [emoji106]

I bit the bullet and tried.
Successfully flashed an eu KDZ on my h815.

Hey guys,
as long as it's h815 and without any suffix, it should be fine.
I flashed the EU one on my SEA version, works well.
Please forgive my noobness. I've only every owned Samsung until now.
What suffix? I have a H815P here in South Africa. It came with v10b but upgraded to v10c after rooting with the low effort method.

yeah, I mean THAT suffix.
The European G4 is H815 (no T, P, or anything after the number). Other variants have some suffix after the number, such as the Taiwanese one (h815T).
SEA G4 has the same model number as the EU G4 (H815) so it can be flashed with the same KDZ.
I haven't tested out other models yet, so I can't comment on whether flashing the h815 KDZ on them will cause any kind of problem. Best be safe.

So the H815P, H815T and whatever "similar" variant/with a suffix could be flashed with the same ROM? leaving the H815 and the SEA to be flashed with another/same ROM.
Is that correct? I also a long time Samsung owner and coming to LG has me all confused.

H815p - need to be flashed with a H81P kdz
H815T - need to be flashed with a H815T kdz
Simple as that.

Hi i bought a lg g4 used, and the software says euro. sw orginal version is: lgh815at-00-vx10b-global-com-may-01-2015 and sw ver info is: h815x10-eur-xx, when i tried unlocking the bootloader it said it is an american device. I thought american lg g4 were h810/811/etc. Im a bit confused so if someone can guide me, I would really appreciate it. I am trying to unlock the bootloader and root my phone. Since lg wont let me unlock bootloader, i just want to root it and which model rootedimage do i use?
Lg made a carrier free GSM H815 version for the US. Sounds like the seller flash a euro version KDZ over the US hardware to make it appear as a euro version. However, since it is not a true Euro version, it can't be bootloader unlocked.
Use the H815EU root method.

Yeah. Unless you have a preference for CM/AOSP, I would root it and install Xposed with the G4 Tweaksbox and go with that. Pretty much the same as the current ROMs that are out there now.

How were you able to install genisys rom on H815 USA variant? I thought you couldn't flash these versions?
good day/evening XDA community,
I have a question about the LG G4 US991 variant.
Is it the same in terms of development, modding, rooting etc.?
Can you guys shed some light as to what is the major difference compared to the H815?
Can the H815 developments, rooting, modding etc. work on the US991
thanks in advance guys...
*bump* i am wanting to put cyanogenmod on my LG G4 US991 (US Cellular variant bought unlocked at Best Buy for use on TMobile network which works just fine) but also cant find any info over the H815. Help?

If you are still on Lollipop, it can be rooted with Low Effort root and you can install Xposed through Flashify. That's it, since there's no bootloader unlock. If you're on Marshmallow, you can't root.

I'd swap out your US991 for a T-Mobile H811 (which comes with an unlockable bootloader out of the box). You can only unlock the bootloader on International (non-US) H815s and the T-Mobile H811.
Hey ecaslak, I accept that deal. I have a two weeks old g4 US991 and I happily swap with yours.

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)

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.

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
