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.

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.

Is there any way to tell on these phones on amazon or anything that I am getting a h815?
Thanks BTW!
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)

no cm only root if you are on lollipop.
unless its one of the europeans models that can be unlocked. serach for LG G4 than can be bootloader unlocked and chek if yours is one.

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

The Canadian LG G4 model is H812. If you have an H815 it is not a Canadian model - likely European or Australian.
Some H815's can be officially unlocked - check out LG's site for the how-to or search XDA for H815 unlock. Other H815's have to be unofficially unlocked, as does the H812 if that is what you in fact have. For those, check out: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU by steadfasterX.
Ah, ok, got the model number mixed up, thanks though.
Hello everyone, I am unaware if this is possible, or not. If I have a Lg G7 that I've bought outright from T-mobile, and can be used with any phone carrier, am I able to root it as an unlocked factory unit? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Only LG g7 from Europe (g710EM models) can be bootloader unlocked. Also the T-Mobile model has been known to cause problems with whatever custom development is going on here.
As a normal stock phone it's ok. It's just not development friendly
