I have a Canadian G4 (H12) - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every single last flashable install on this forum is for American H15 phones. Is there really nothing I can do on this phone but root it? No custom ROMs or early upgrade to marshmallow? Am I misunderstanding the process?

Bootloader is locked on all LG G4s except 815. Ours (cdn) is 812 (actually 810 like the at&t model) So no roms for us, just root.

Thanks. That's unfortunate.

This thread is very old, has any ROM come available for the Canadian G4 H812?
Do I use the International Root? My phone has a lock screen pattern as its been in a box for years. Can I root it and get rid of the lock screen that way and I dont even remember the original provider...

If your ARB is 2 or lower then yes. Check my sig for unlock g4 unofficially . It explains also what ARB is and how you can check yours.

Hello!
I haven't rooted or installed a custom ROM on a phone in like 2 years, just got the LG G3 and the PARTNER stock ROM is killing it, its just awful!
I really want to root it and put a custom ROM on it but have NO idea how to even start.. I've tries searching the forum but only found ROMS but no guides... is there a step by step newbie guide from bottom to top?
I would be very grateful!
*EDIT: I'm from Israel, bought it from the carrier PARTNER (ORANGE). its the 16 GB 2 ram version

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure at this moment only the U.S T-Mobile G3 has an unlocked bootloader. Maybe the bootloader will be unlocked for other versions and ROMs will be developed, but it doesn't look promising at this point.

I was preety sure that the international version has to be unlocked, the G2 was like that I think.

DO NOT use the method posted in general thread unless the rooted system is the same version as your current system.
If you have a f500l with 10a a rooted system was linked in the original dev sub forum. I cant try it since I soft bricked using method im recommending you dont use. Ymmv

That really sucks! I'm sorry to hear that. I imagine you'll get a solution before the Sprint users. Sprint doesn't believe in KDZs for some reason lol. You'll get one sooner or later.

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.

I've got to agree - I bought mine from Value Basket, advertised as an EU version but the IMIE is for a Singapore carrier and because of that I can't unlock the bootloader, hence I'm stuck with a fantastic phone with good, but not brilliant firmware and no way to flash my favourite CFW's.

Easy there! That's not how things work around here. Also, it's not that developers wouldn't try. People worked on it and may still be working on a solution. Maybe, next time you buy a new phone, make sure you don't spend hundreds of dollars on a device you can't unlock or where it's uncertain whether it'll be unlockable or not. After all, you're a "flashaholic".
Shameful post(op)
Well thank to you sir for contributing and not asking for anything.

I feel your frustration, though (misguided), you need to read a bit about unlocking the bootloader for many of the G4 models.
You are not the only one that feels as you do. You certainly do not need to be rude about your frustration, furthermore blaming people on XDA is wrong. XDA users had nothing to do with locking the bootloader.
BTW you are correct there is a donation thread somewhere.Why not learn how to develop and be the one that could do what no other could:good:
There are enough rant threads already out there, no need to keep this afloat.
PS thanks for being a member of XDA and I look forward to your development
I tired to find way to unlock bootloader for H815P

Well if we all had a power to see in to the future.

Do we know if anyone is actually working on it?

No need to see into the future. You just need to think harder. LG is known for locking down devices. Why bother with the risk of ending up with a locked down device? Besides, I'm not dragging you anywhere. You just like the feeling of being the victim. Get a grip already!

Well see I know that lg lock some device's I have had a few lg device's g3,g4,gflex2 and now just made a MISSILE out of the g4 because sick of being told that there may be a unlocking available for the g4. I all so sick of people saying that the only root for g4 is root injection it would not work for me so now only got my gflex 2. So very soon I will look at the g4 again now knowing what I need to look for.
The way I see it with out boot loader unlocking there is no root for the g4........ok ranting over good night

Well the root works really well, though you have to be using L. Even xposed works with flash fire, so really its not a big deal. If they at least root M I will be even happier.
Of course unlocked bootloader would be ideal but I am happy with root.

Why do you assume I don't know about custom roms? I do know a lot and tried many of them on different devices. Some are great some are buggy.
Truth is LG rom is very stable and with root, exposed, launcher I can get it very close to pure android experience. So root is still very important.
Don't get me wrong, I still want an unlcoked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader will extend the life of the device.

LG G4 Development

Hi all beauty?
Because no attention to lg g4 dual sim?
Even if they are roms based on the stock would be very good, I realize that the H818P has nothing just a rom that was only updated in October and have nothing, pay so dearly for a good device and has nothing or a little attention developers forum we also need a bit of attention to our device and the Brazilians are suffering from it.
Please help us.
I'm grateful.
My device looks like a Samsung, receives nothing '-':fingers-crossed:
This is the single rom we have: /

Even with locked bootloader, the ROM could be based on the stock of the appliance as I mentioned in the first with improvements.
Not this happens, or root for Android M in H818P have.

yes,u r right. still such roms are really limited, that's why there is no real interest

No one wants to help, it gets complicated.
Not roms or anything.
None?
We cant do anything without a bootloader unlock. People are working on it. Theres a petition with over 3000 signatures on it. I suggest you sign it too then we wait for a word back from lg. https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...pt&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition

convert n910v to international variant

hi
I recently got a verizon note 4 (n910v) and I want to know if i can convert it to an international variant such as n910F if possible. does the recent bootloader unlock make this possible?
thanks all
I don't think so but you can run N910F roms on N910V but there is only one problem is about data service will not available I personally tested some 5.1.1 based roms and worked great !
But I hope that we can do something like that
To run the F Roms, all ya gotta do is flash the data fix listed in most of the OPs. Can even do MM Roms as well
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yeah i know about the data fix but i was hoping to run official samsung n910f firmware. Im not in US and i dont like the verizon branding. I guess rooting is the only way.

Even if you could just convert it, as you say, you'd need to root and then unlock the bootloader. There's different hardware, so that's why the data fix is needed.
i also need n910f rom for n910v
