G4 MM root via Unikrenel? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey just saw this post.
They have almost all G4 variants listed that should work. However one of the steps it says to enter recovery which we do not have.
Anyway to get around this? I herd this works with Samsung devices.

Can we maybe use a dd command?
Sent from my LG G4

Since the bootloader is locked we can do nothing really. This kernel isn't signed by LG so when you flash it somehow via dd command the phone will fall into a bootloop. I think this guy just rooted the stock marshmallow firmware with system less root and dumped the boot.img of this hoping it will work for someone else.. Its basically the same as custom kernel and we cannot flash it. Am I right?

Actually, look what do I found in the updater script...
Code:
ui_print("*********************************************");
ui_print(" ***************** ");
ui_print("***********SUPERXE - 6.0.X KERNEL************");
ui_print("***************** H-815 *********************");
set_progress(1.000000);
package_extract_file("boot-em.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot");

Yeah and as well it implies that it's SUPERXE's work actually

hmm the link claims to support H815P which is a locked device
anyone try this?

If the bootloader is locked, you are not able to boot unsigned boot/kernel because locked bootloader allows to only boot 'things' signed by LG.

VooDoo Reports for V30

VoodooReport lge LG-H932 (joan) 7.1.2 1725919553059.zip
It's a two meg zip and I will not try to upload if it is not of any use by developers . . .
The attached PNG is just a greenshot of what the zip directories that 7zip showed inside.
I'm sure it will reveal if this phone will be able to be modified or not(for the devs of course). It might have the fastboot commands removed like the v10 and v20 on T-mobile(or any carrier version of the v30).

G4 is Finally Unlocked!

After a year of hard work, @steadfasterX has finally unlocked our device! Hopefully we'll get some new roms soon. Full thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
Edit: We are currently able to run any custom rom for H811 on our device! One thing is that we must do the modem flash in TWRP that steadfaster mentions in his FAQ.
Edit 2: Currently only stock Lollipop or stock Marshmallow will run on VS986 with everything working. AOSCP and other custom roms will boot but you will not pull the correct APN for Verizon and therefore will have data but no cell service including MMS or voice calls. You must have the stock MM bootloader stack flashed after you go through the UsU process for everything to work correctly and the stock MM modem.
@fates13,
I know you're trying to get Nougat working on your VS986 and it's not 100% working yet.
I suggest people wait until you get things resolved if they rely on their VS986 as their daily phone.
Please post an update here once you think everything is working. The other thread has a lot of posts since it covers other G4 models too.
Thank you
@fates13,
Were you able to get your VS986 to the point of everything worked after UsU unlock and ROM installation?

Yes but only stock MM works properly with data and cell. This can probably be fixed by a proper rom developer for our phone. Advanced calling also doesn't work properly so just waiting until @steadfasterX has time to make a UsU patched kernel for stock MM.

Are you able to boot to twrp.
If your still stuck on boot.img go to your salt back ups is located in the home folder and right click in the folder and click open in terminal put your phone in fastboot mode type in terminal "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that "fastboot reboot" and see if your phone boots up if you don't have the salt backup let me know

How exactly did you install TWRP? Or if you solely used magisk, how did you flash the patched_boot.img?
I was asking you about TWRP to see if you installed it. You flash all the files in fastboot. You get into fastboot by unplugging the battery wait 4 seconds plug it back in hold volume down and plug your phone in to your computer you should be in fastboot mode. You can download TWRP from the unlock Page. I will upload the pach boot.img and paste the link for TWRP later because I'm not at my computer right now. Be careful NOT to flash the aboot.img you should only flash the boot.img (once I upload it) and the recovery.img right now

Ah, different person than you were talking to before. The way I read your post, it sounded like maybe you figured out a way to sideload (if that is the correct term) the patched boot image that magisk makes without the part of the UsU method that causes "Once you go this way - there is no way back! SERIOUSLY. The only way to make the device exactly like before is replacing the mainboard. If you're scared: good." Maybe something like this: ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
Was just looking into my options for if I should wait until a method comes out that doesn't make a permanent alteration or if I should just go ahead and take the plunge with UsU. Your thoughts on whether that change that is made could affect me badly in the long run?

sorry about that the only way to root the latest FW is to unlock the bootloader. as long as you flow the guide and read carefully you shud be fine and if it's too scary just downgraded to LP and root that way (look on xda Verizon G4 general tab)
Has any one got calling and texting working on any costum rom for vs986?
Probably a dumb question, but I'm on 13b rooted. I read through the unlock thread and it mentions MM is required and anti rollback <=2. My ARB value is currently 2. Can I just use LGUP to flash stock MM? Will this preserve my ARB value?

Need help with flashing TWRP on the 8.1 Resurrection Remix rom

I finally managed to get this rom running on my device and I'd like TWRP on it so I can root etc. I can't seem to find a twrp image that works though. Does anyone know which image I need to flash and what the flash command is? I heard it's different on oreo. Thanks in advance

Find the thread for your stock firmware and see if it is available there. This happens because of root and/or the unlocked bootloader. You have to unroot and possibly relock the bootloader to be able to take OtA updates.
Sent from my Moto G6 Plus using Tapatalk
Same issue here .
If your bootloader is unlocked or if you do not have the stock recovery anymore then the update will fail. If your rooted then look through your device for the update package and upload it online for others to see.
I've tried flashing the stock firmware but get same result. Where do I get the stock recovery to fix the issue?
I haven't unlocked neither rooted my moto g6 play yet, I received the update notification this morning , I've updated it with no issues ( around 500mb). Update is Android security patch level , 1 September 2018 , build number : OPP27.91-143

I thought the same, but flashed stock firmware and it won't update by ota.i can download it it but it fails.
unlocked bootloader won't make you unable to do the update. only stalling custom recovery and/or rooting phone. as soon as I got this update by the beginning of the month, I just reflashed stock firmware and did the update.

Guide flash rom WW to ROG 2 CN 8/128

1. App unlock bootloader: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...SIGNED_UnlockTool_9.1.0.10_190702_fulldpi.apk
2.Rom: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1HxSqpE83FW1U_k8WxCfaTkMUEAbS2QH-
In folder, file boot.img patched to root, no bootloop and wifi working.
3. Minimal ADB: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
Step:
S1. Unlock bootloader by app unlock
S2.
a. Install Minimal ADB, copy 21 file .img to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
b. Flash 21 file img in fastboot mode (power + volumeup) using usb type C side of ROG Phone):
Run cmd-here.exe, command:
fastboot flash ***.img (*** same with name 21 file img, do not rename file)
EX: fastboot flash system system.im
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Boot in to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset then reboot system!
Done.
Sorry for my poor English
Mod edit: Deleted!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - if this is real, awesome job.
Damnnn good..but i'm afraid to try it
Could u explan more
After this ww rom will be installed? What about upgrade?
I mean can i do future update once in convert to ww rom ?
A Video would be nice (not doubting that this simple guide doesn't work) but to proof that indeed this method works) someone please be kind to post a video.
also, does flashing this WW ROM deletes all personal data? or does it flash like an update retaining data?
wow!!
is it works??
and is it without root??
Will OTA updates work on this? Also, could you rewrite the guide some parts are a bit confusing
It works. No OTA from now on though, without a patched boot.img the phone will always go into a bootloop. Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion.
"Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion. "

Can someone state the major differences between the two roms?. I don't see the point of losing OTA and warranty unless you need the stock UI, other than that i don't see any advantages. By the way can someone confirm the call recording option is still there with the WW Rom.

Just to evaluate whether losing OTA is worth going to WW Rom.
Hello Guys, I messed up as I did not unlock bootloader first before flashing it from fastboot. Now I have a bootloop. Can anyone help me how to reflash CN. I have a lock bootloader. Thank you very much.
Unlocking BL also voids the Widevine L1 DRM btw, proceed at your own risk.
Can anyone help me how to unlock the bootloader via fastboot since I cannot get in the software as I have a bootloop. I greatly appreciate it as I have been figuring out this for the past 5 hours. Thank you.

You cannot unlock without the app. Hold the power and volume up key when the phone boots up until you enter the bootloader menu then using the volume keys navigate to recovery option from there just do a factory reset.
Hello Rashad83, I went to recovery and did a factory reset,but it still bootloop. I have a tencent ROG phone II model.

What did you do to get the bootloop in the first place, if you don't mind me asking?
I tried fastboot flash vendor vendor.img then it says parse error due to lock state, then after that I rebooted it then it just bootloop.
