Hello guys,
I'm a happy owner of a Nexus 5 which was full customizable and now I'm switching to a G4 Dual H818p which I know have some limitations.
My question is simple, will we have a systemless root for H818P after we get the marshmellow update?
I tried to search for a related topic but couldn't find anything about it.
Thanks!
Moi aussi j'ai un lg g4 h818p android M
On est dans la liste d'attente
Le root pour android existe pour les appareils
Nexus pour le moment
Only if LG change their minds and allow you to unlock the bootloader officialy, or if (or when, I should say) our awesome devs find a way to unlock the bootloader unofficially. In Android Marshmallow Google changed something and now with stock boot img you cannot have root or/and custom recovery, you have to have modified boot img that will allow you to flash those, but in order to that the bootloader has to be unlocked, so for now you cannot root it on MM. If you bought H815 instead of H818p your life would be much easier

We bought g4 dual(h818p) for the dual sim goodness. We must pressure lg to unlock bootloader of h818p/n. Who cares abt warranty these days? Services are crap anyway

I didn't care of warranty as well. My H815 just yesterday got a bootloop issue after 8 moths of usage that is well know in G4 community and because I'm a android user like every one here I had to bake my motherboard in the oven instead of getting replacement, temporarily works but I have to sell it as soon as possible.

Yh one shop suggested me 160 pound and another 60 pound! while phone cost me 480 pound LOL. I don't think there is website or forum like that, try spamming on their twitter and facebook profiles. I'm gonna complain myself on how they treat software modders when they fu**d the hardware up.

Hi Guys,
Is there any way to install TWRP/Custom ROMs, on the H815 TWN variant? I tried today to unlock the bootloader today, but it still says not supported (screenshot attached), let me know if any one has found a way to Bump the kernel like on the old G2/G3 models.
Thanks everyone =D
I have exactly the same issue unfortunately. I'd be happy with ROOT for now.
I hope someone in the community can help us out.
EDIT: root (and downgrade from MM if needed) for TWN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/twn-root-question-downgrade-root-t3328465
Sorry but it's not possible now. There's lots of us waiting for Bootloader to be unlocked for TWN model H815... but currently impossible.
Luckily we can still have Lollipop with root.

And luckily phones like the Nexus 6P or almost any other competitor allows for bootloader unlocking unlike LG.
So if you get pissed off enough, that's an option
Hello Everyone,
Please forgive me if this topic is elsewhere, but I am hoping to get some assistance from the community. I have been searching for a method of obtaining root on my Canadian Bell LG G4 H812 running Marshmallow.
I saw a few methods before Marshmallow rolled out to Canadian Carriers involving extracting system image, injecting root, and replacing the system image on my device. I figured, when MM rolled out, there would be a better method found of doing this, but to my dismay, it now appears to be impossible on MM.
Can anyone confirm if root can be obtained on this device?
I am willing to downgrade to Lollipop to make this happen
Why is there little to no development for this model?
Is the model interchangeable with another LG G4 that root /unlocked bootloader has been found on?
Can anyone possibly offer a noob-friendly guide on doing this?
Please note, I am completely willing to downgrade to lollipop in order to make this happen as I rely on some apps that require root, and some that rooting makes the app more functionsl (Trimmer, greenify, xposed, Titanium Backup to name a few)
I have successfully rooted and unlocked many phones in the past (Motorola Milestone, HTC Desire Z, HTC Amaze, HTC Raider LTE /Vivid, Galaxy S2/3/4, Galaxy Note 2/3, LG G3) but for the first time in my rooting life, I not only feel completely unsure about the process, but I feel pretty uneasy. A lot of the guides that I found for injecting root into the system partition and re-flashing seemed incomplete or broken, and were not published on XDA, so I stayed clear of them.
Thanks everyone in advance.
If you find simple way to root H812 with android 6 let me know!

The exploit used has been fixed on mm
I will receive my G4 from Rogers in 2-3 days, what do you think will be on it? Lollipop or MM ?
Thank you
Daniel
could someone point to a forum, or provide some details as to why this is not possible?
will this be how all phones are made going forward?
I can't wrap my head around not being able to do this, and would just love some reading as to why it is not possible, and what to look out for when buying a new device that is not a Nexus.

The exploit used on Lolipop was by way of inserting the Su root binary and whatever other mods are needed into a system image and then writing it to the phones memory. This trick or exploit used to boot the phone into a state where you could write a new system image was fixed on Marshmallow. There is another trick that I see on the USA variant subforums for the G4 where you pull the USB cable out during an update exactly when it hits a certain percent to get the phone in the exact same state but it doesnt hepl with root anyway.
Marshmallow had changes to it which prevents rooting by simply changing the system partition (not sure exact details) which is why we have the systemless root now. Systemless root requires modifications that will not work with bootloader locked phones. No bootloader unlock has been made available for the G4 so not possible to root MM.
Check out the Canadian G4 thread in the general subforum.
My koodo h812 bought a few weeks ago came with marshmallow out of the box. Build date was July, sn607
If you want to root your new G4 you'll have to downgrade to LP. Check the Canadian H812 thread in the General forum for more details and use LG UP program to flash the KDZ. Mine came with MM from Rogers and it was pretty simple to downgrade.
I don't know how long I can resist the urge to root. My only real issue with it stock is the crappy battery life. There is no excuse for my old moto x with a way smaller, 2 year old battery lasting double the screen on time. I'll probably take the risk on the warranty because I'll always have a backup phone.

I was in this situation with my Canadian G4 (H812).. fortunately I traded it for the european H815 .... I made the right choice I feel. It's got unlocked bootloader, unlocked carrier, no service provider bloatware, and ALL the original LG apps running perfectly (including the FM radio and SmartWorld)
It's beautiful. Anyway there is a guy called SteadFasterX he is working on a custom bootloader called EFIdroid for LG G4 devices with the default bootloader locked. So we are bypassing LG's bootloader and giving control to the EFIdroid bootloader. He is also working on a project called TWRP-in-FISH which lets you boot anything using a LOCKED bootloader. So go check it out and pray, or trade it in for the european version.
I was one of steadfasterX's early testers for FIsH. Unfortunately I think most users are unable or unwilling to shell out more money to buy the exact same phone they already have with different software that is more open. I will just use my LG G4 as long as it suits me and then likely never buy another LG phone unless they change their policy on unlocking.
I'm happy that you resolved your issue but telling others to buy a new phone won't earn you any friends along the way. Plus with the G4 bootloop issues you'd be crazy to buy a used G4 unless it's a really good price.
You really should do your homework a little more thoroughly ...

You really should do your homework a little more thoroughly (LOL) ... TWRP-in-FisH does not allow you to boot just anything. It allows you to boot a custom TWRP version ONLY, a version that will work with locked bootloaders.
EFIdroid in FisH (an ALPHA stage project), if successful, may ultimately allow one to boot custom roms. It does not modify the stock bootloader partition, i.e. it does not unlock it, it hijacks the boot process.
FisH is the project that allows you to boot potentially anything.
You're not helping anyone providing inaccurate, misleading information. Your only contribution to date seems to be telling everyone to sell their H812's and buy H815's - you've made your point (over and over, ad nauseam - hint, look it up) ...
Cheers,

For all those H812 owners coming across this post now ...
Here you go ... [Canadian Guide] - Complete Source for the LG G4 H812. Linux VM/Root/Tools&Files @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
Do not use the root apps ... they won't work. Use the H81210 stock and rooted versions linked in the first post at the beginning of the Canadian guide site, they should work or you can search for both stock and rooted kdz's for your specific carrier. Use LGUP-NEW (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803) to downgrade and upgrade the firmware on your LG G4.
Follow the Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-root-t3180586) ONLY for installing the rooted image (assuming you have obtained a pre-rooted image, otherwise, follow all to root the stock LP kdz you have obtained) -- use the command for the H812 model in the 2nd post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...ot-lg-t3164765 found in the following box: Command to Flash System.img (All Variants) for installing the rooted image.
That should cover it.

The information posted on the link you've referred to is factually incorrect. The method, using Chainfire's Supersu Beta version SuperSU v2.79 SR3 requires a modification of the boot partition. It is simply not possible with the locked bootloader of the H812, i.e., you can't believe everything you read. The author does somewhat qualify with the statement: If the Root is Not Working in Your Variant Should Be Unlocked Before Root.
You've owned your LG H815 for how long ... ? LOL ... less than a week? Tick, tick, tick ... ILAPO!

Hey guys,
when trying to unlock the bootloader the official way, I get the error message
"Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader."
LG support has not responded yet, but the message indicates what their answer will be.
Is there any way to get the bootloader unlocked other than having LG send the unlock code?
I found several threads all over the internet with people describing the same problem, but no solution was posted. Since all those threads are from mid-2015, I was wondering if anyone found a solution by now.
If you find a solution , please let me know .

There hasn't been any real progress on having an unofficial bootloader unlock since august/september of 2015.....
It's almost a year since anyone has really talked about it. I don't think it's ever gonna happen :/

I asked the LG developer support. All they replied so far was that by company policy, they do not allow models other than "European market" to be unlocked at the moment.
I answered that I am not satisfied with this "policy" and that I'd like a reason for them to block customers from their freedom of choice what to do with their devices. No answer yet - will post here when I get one.

LP yes. but i seen 2 different post claiming root on MM with locked bootloader.
It's easiest to just downgrade to Lollipop via LGUP. Though it still took me a while to find the right pre-rooted image to flash on my phone.
I just completed the process of using LGUP to rollback to Lollipop v10c, and then rooted it. Surprisingly I was even able to get Xposed framework installed with the bootloader locked. I guess the only thing I'm really missing is TWRP, but I can live without it.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

not so sure ... but LG has removed the team the worked on past phones and eithe has a new team or will be not making any more phones. .... g5 sales arent too good...
I've the H815 V20d-TWN-XX 6.0 MM with sec. patch level 2016-06-01, and as I've read, no way to unlock bootloader for this model, so frustrating.
I was hoping at least to find a way to have this particular G4 version rooted with the bootloader locked, does anyone know how can this be done?
Been looking for a solution but haven't found anything so far, I'd just flash a previous version but some people wrote in other threads that this 20d has noticeable battery improvements...
So any help with, as for now, the best way to go to get root access in this device, is very much appreciated. I've been trying to do this for weeks
Thanks!

Man I even don't understand how is it possible to make from good device, piece of sh* *t.
But LG Know How
Why they spending time of developer's to remove root possibilities and after that adding LG modified bootloader unlock procedure.
I believe if LG DEVELOPER'S was not spending time for removing root possibilities and was Customizing BootLoader Unlock Process, everything was done until this moment, when users want to root the device, but it's impossible by Official Way.
All respected companies using stock android bootloader unlock procedure, like alkatel and others, or already made his costume BL unlock procedure, like Sony...
Only LG have this problem, like with my Old Optimus 3D, I needed to flash customs BootLoader, because stock one cannot be unlocked, simply to flash other staffs like costume Recovery or Kernel.
I sent a massage to LG and they suggested me to search on XDA, exactly not LG Support, LG FUN CLUB responded to my question
And it's A Class Smartphones manufacturer.
How it's possible to make ordinary smartphone with Quallcom Chipset, most respected company making Smartphones Chips.
They making the best CPU's, GPU's and modem chips in the Earth.
And after that Coming LG and removing fastboot mode...
Why?
Like I already said to LG: "It's very very bad decision to remove FASTBOOT Mode.
And I believe it's my last LG Device."

I found this information here.
I know that is not 100% possible, but it's 2016 model, it's not old device, so I think it will receive Nougat
And also I suggest to look at this Google Request.
Custome ROM!
Like any Smart Developr, before working with some device I'm checking if this device will receive android update!
Because if our LG K10 will receive Nougat Update, ALL MY WORK WITH MARSHMALLOW WILL BE LOST ?
My opinion.
I was thinking why LG K 10 with MEDIATEK Chipset can be rooted and with QUALCOM no opportunity to get root.
And it's showing LG Developer's incompetence.
From my own experience I know that is much more difficult work with MEDIATEK Devices, that's why I don't released Cris Kelo Rom for Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo.
I taken latest Samsung Firmware for this device, rooted it, fixed it to work with Xposed, but after that I got Rom Full of Small bugs.
And when I was fixing one bug I was getting one or sometimes two new bugs, finally I was mad with this Piece of Mediatek technology and gifted it, after that I purchased this Piece of LG K10 Device…
What is the point?
For me it's normal that I can't make something, I'm not Professional Program Engineer, I'm Amateur Developer and LG Corporation Must Have Competent Program Engineer's, they must know how to make the same android on both Chipsets…

We absolutely need you here sir! I am waiting for Nougat from a long time! I worked a lot on this device. So I naturally made the decision of waiting for Nougat because this device is completely locked down and moreover I don't even the firmware file for my phone (LG K420DS, Same processor as LG K420N but 2 GB RAM).

Thanks
I also waiting for Nougat Update, then will try my best to make something.
But until update is released we must insist that LG must make Android Update With UNBLOCKABLE BOOTLOADER AND ACCESS TO FASTBOOT MODE.
It will be much better official way to root it and unlock bootloader than some our invents ?
After that it will be very easy to customize Kernel, Recovery and System ?
LG Must be joking ?
Was searching other time for root or unlock bootloader and decided to take a look how many LG devices can be officially unlocked bootloader.
There only 4 devices, Man it's ridiculous ?
OFFICIAL LG BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
It's some kind of joke, can I laf now?

LAF is the only way.
But if you are rooted then you are on the safe side.
Then we can root easily

Hi.
In a few days I'll be happy to use an LG G7, model LMG710EM.
I'm looking for Root and Recovery and I read something about problem with locked bootloader. So G7 need a patched boot image to get root.
But, 6 day's ago, LG, release the official unlocking for the bootloader.
Italian article here: https:**gizblog.it/2018/06/lg-g7-thinq-disponibile-sblocco-bootloader-ufficiale
And, ther, the official LG page.

I hope to post this news in the right section. I'm just a "customer" for XDA. Not able to develope anithing (no time in my life to study something about... ).
May be a new possibility to have, root, twrp and roms?
Thanks all for you great development
Sorry for my poor english.
Oficiql unlock has been here for over a year with the em Model
