I looked through the forums and am still confused on this version.
So only H815 Euro version can unlock the bootloader officially, while the H815 USA version can't.
But I've read some posts peopple flashing H815 USA version with custom roms?
How is that possible and I can't seem to use the right key words to find the relevant post.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx!

Hello. I you can see I'm new to the forums and I'm also new to my LG G4, which happens to be the Taiwanese variant of the H815. I love the phone so far, but I'm a bit bummed that the bootloader can't be unlocked on this model. So I have two questions about this.
If I were to flash the EU Open VDZ, could I unlock my bootloader then?
A lot of the settings are geared towards Chinese/Taiwanese markets. Is there a US H815 stock firmware, or should I use a European version? And what number is the US H815 firmware version so I can go ahead and download it.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. A U.S. firmware should fix most things for me, correct?
Each region/variant has different firmware numbers.
IE 10c TWN/SEA is the "same version" as 10E of Open EUR which is higher than which is the same as 10F of the 815T which is a higher version than 10G of some non open EUR phones...
You can install the Open EUR KDZ on the TWN version, but it will not enable to unlock your boot loader, the LG unlocked website checks IMEI and unique hardware ID to determine eligibility. You may be able to flash the US H815 but I'm not sure.

Thanks. I'm guessing there's really no point of flashing a new ROM then. Do you know the USA H815 firmware number?
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?
Hello everyone.
I've updated to marshmallow recently but i want to try rooting the phone.
I want to do this without unlocking the bootloader because I don't really know how much trouble LG will give me with warranty issues.
So I've found a couple of guides here and there about using LGUP to flash a KDZ file. For the H815 model there are many different versions with different country codes. Does that matter? I have a Dutch G4 but I see the Polish version being much more recent. What difference does that make? Or is it better to flash the Open version? They do not seem carrier branded.
Is it even possible to downgrade?
Thanks.

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)

i think theres no american h815 i would returned for misinformation.
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.

I just contacted the seller, they said they'd send me the correct phone. Hopefully they do.

Dear all
I searched the forum but not sure if my problem has been answered, so I post mine here and hope for some help. Thank you in advance
My LG G7 is running Android 10. It shows itself as G710AWM while its IMEI shows it is a T-Mobile device (checked by IMEI.INFO). Now I need to know is my G7 a T-Mobile but has been flashed Canadian ROM, or is it a real Canadian device? And what steps should I do if I want to convert it to Korea ROM?
Thanks for help, and sorry for my poor English
Update: My G7 has no serial number
Anyone help please ???
What about friend, could you solve the problem, I still have a lg g7 of the same model as yours, only that I update it to the Canadian rom and I don't know if the Korean version can now be installed and where I can find it.
