So now I am facing the choice between buying an official lg g4 h815p with its official warranty and free screen replacement policy or a grey market h815 eur.
I wanted a 815 int europe to get twrp, but I see that the only custom rom and system backups we have for g4 are .img files, so twrp has no real advantage now over "soft" root of the g4?
The grey market unit has a 1 year warranty but it's simply not the official one, dunno what would happen in case of touchscreen problem for exemple.
The official h815p unit is a 10 days used one.
I recently got stung by bootloop on my H815 505xxx serial. But I loved G4. and I am planning on buying it again
This time, an H818 ofcourse serian number greater than 509xxx . My questions are the following:-
Are all H818 bootloader unlockable ?
What is H818P and what is H818N
Are there any other hidden risks I might find out later ?
What else do I keep in mind ?
I heard of bad battery timing on H818 because its two SIMs. But i dont actually run dual sim so would it affect battery life ?
Hello frnds. I just bought LG G4. Its an amazing phone one of the besti have ever had. Ok so i thought of rooting iti lookedupon my model but in device info i think thereis something fishy. I attachedpics. It says H815T but software version isglobal also onboxits H815. So any one please explain?
PS : imei no shows H815 of TIM (Italy) :sad:
Never mind i guess my mobile is h815 coz i put imei and device id on lg site and bootloader is unlocked now
Hi guys i had LG g4 h818p which was dead after bootloop issue
So i have ordered new Motherboard from aliexpress
Now
The issue is this new motherboard is from chinese LG G4 Variant
Which i think doesn't come with Google services and apps
I tried installing manually but play store isn't seem to be working after all hard work
So guys please help to get google services and apps without harming the device
Can i flash any LG g4 h818 firmware?

Can you see the serial number of the new motherboard from Aliexpress?
From which country are you, does it have problems with frequencies as the motherboard is from Chinese variant?
I had flashed (accidently) chineese firmware on one h818p, then flashed another one via LGUP and everything went great, so you shouldn't have any problems
Yes, but you have device (H818P) which supports European frequencies. If I order Chinese variant from Aliexpres, maybe it doesn't support EU frequencies?
Another question is serial nr., because if I get some with 50x, who can guarantee me that the bootloop issue wouldn't happen again?

If it's the same model, you should be fine after flashing European rom, nobody will give you a guarantee on bootloop issue and there is a high chance that it might be a refurbished or repaired board.
Well, from Aliexpress site it states that it's only H818 model, nothing else.
I have dead/bootlooped H818N from Hong Kong which worked well in EU countries.
Hello guys, I bought a LG G4. The seller today said that they have sent a H818P Dual SIM version. I already have an G4 H815 European Version and I wanted exactly the same one to easily unlock bootloader, root new ROM flash etc. after warranty period.
Should I send it back or should I accept it? What do you suggest to me? Will it be easy to find custom ROMs for H818P in the future (2 years later).
Also, is there any significant differences between them especially for my country Turkey? I have read some posts about rooting H818P with H815 ROMs. Are they easy to cope with? Or is it better to send it back.
Thank you beforehand for your suggestions.
