Hello there, i got an LG G4 h815 few days ago, when ever i get new device first thing i do is root it, and it was always very easy for me.
with this g4 i got problems, try to go to LG website and unlock bootloader, it say i cant cause my device is h815 taiwan, so i read more in google and understand official unlock is only for the euro devices.
so i google more try to understand how can i unlock it unofficially, and found nothing, as well as try to google for a way to root it with out unlock bootloader, and also coulnt find.
im sure im missing something, cause i dont think its possible that there is no root for an old device, any help on how to root my phone?
thanks a head.
Lots of people here have H815 TWN...please can some one make a specific thread for rooting or installing xposed on Taiwanese H815 without the risking of bricking or bootlooping the device...meaning successful rooting ...

unfortunatelly you cant unlocked till today.. maybe later if someone can do it... but you can add root to locked bootloader... i have not tried this method.. i tried similar to h811 tmobile.. but its the same procedure.. mine is unlockacle but i dont want to with the bootloop issue... unlocking bootloader voids warranty. and root too but you can always try the kdz that disables the big cores and undo the root..

thank you, i found the root for locked bootloader, i done it, but its only for 5.1 android, and i still cant flash roms, only one rom witch they make for locked bootloader, so after all the process went back to unroot 6.0 androis >:
hope some1 will break this bootlock .

I remember us being able to attain root using the Optimus 4XHD root tool, then I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007961
Does anyone with more technical knowledge than I have think that there is a possibility deep within there to obtain a straight bootloader unlock method for the p930s? I've been stuck on Stock ICS with a locked bootloader since July because so far none of the unbricking methods will work for my phone (tried on Vista 64, 7 32/64, XP Pro/64 and 8)
No one is going to invest any time trying to figure out how to unlock the locked bootloader when you can just flash an older KDZ and avoid the issue altogether.
Your phone is not special. If you're having a problem downgrading, you're just doing something wrong.

Drumist, I always enjoy reading your comments. Thanks for being active here.
Hi Everyone;
I have a few questions:
I am trying to unlock the bootloader for my nephews LG G4 but it seems like there is no way of doing it.
I followed the official method, entered the IMEI number and the DEVICE ID but I get a warning that they do not match and that we have X tries remaining before device gets locked. Right now it's sitting at 7 more tries remaining.
He had the bootloop issue a few months ago (phone wasn't unlocked or rooted or anything), sent it to LG, they fixed it and sent it back. The only explanation I can find is that the DEVICE ID doesn't match the IMEI number anymore because of them changing hardware? I really don't understand why the official method doesn't work or keeps saying that Device ID does not match your PHONE!
Anyway, I tried to root without unlocking the bootloader, and that didn't work either.
Is there a way to unlock this damn device without the official method?
If there isn't... Does using the One-Click-Root method work with this phone? He doesn't want to pay $80 AUD not knowing whether or not it will work...
Also all of this, just to fix the GPS Locking problem that HOPEFULLY would work if we change ROMS. Is there a way to fix the GPS problem without unlocking, rooting, and changing ROMS?
Send mail to LG about yours problem, they will send unlock bin
I had the same problem

Hey all. So basically I recently purchased the H815T Australian optus model. It was initially on Lollipop but updated to MM & I need root so I can restore all my data from my previous device but seems I need to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately it couldn't be done because the H815T isn't supported on the LG unlocking website. Is there another way to unlock the bootloader or rooting it? Please help guys, I really need to retrieve my data but can't do so till there is a method to root. Or would I have to downgrade to Lollipop & root? I'd immensely appreciate some assistance with this, cheers.

Thanks for your help. I really enjoy being on Marshmallow so don't really want to downgrade. Thankfully I got most of my whatsapp messages through google drive backup & most of the other apps did have some form of cloud storage. I'm gonna stick to MM till a rooting method does eventuate.
Hey guys. I had a VS986 back when it was 13B and all I did was downgrade to stock with LGUP and i flashed a rooted stock room, i remember doing something with chainfire "Flashfire" at the time because there is a locked bootloader issue and a custom recovery is not available..?|
Well now i have a new LG G4 VS986 that is 2BA. Can I root the 2BA or do i need to use the LGUP to downgrade to a specific version (like 13b?). And then what is the rooting procedure? YES, I tried to look it up, but i havent been following development for so long I am out of the loop and so much info from the gate is ALOT to take in.
So can someone PLEASE give me a quick run down of the rooting VS986_2BA procedure, and I can figure it out from there- Im not asking anyone to do the work for me, just alittle help. Or a link that could point me in the correct direction. I just dont want to have a new brick! Thank you!!
If you want to root 2ba you need to unlock the bootloader
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
Make sure you read the instructions and warnings because the bootloader unlock is permanent!!
Do not flash the baceband packeage you don't need it and your SIM won't be detected after flash
After you do that you should know how to get to fast boot mode and you need to flash this patch boot imge https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GH00BeWsEtKE2Ea34dXLmeMUC4Ts8XEI/view?usp=drivesdk
Here's the command
Fastboot flash boot (filename).img
And that's it all you have to do is install Magisk Manager from the play store
If you need any help please quote me
I thought that the VERIZON varient of the LGG4 had a permanently locked bootloader and was/is impossible to unlock?

Not as of March 2018. https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
I did it to my Verizon LG G4 and am now on Marshmallow, rooted by Magisk, and running XPosed. It's not a "double-click, next, next, finish" process. Read the entire OP in that link. And here is my summary of what I did https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76691955&postcount=1063.
Oh wow that's awesome, I didn't know that was possible. But since you personally confirm it then I'm going to check out those links!
I wish I knew about this a month ago, I just downgraded mine and my girlfriends phones and flashed the rooted 13b system images.
Thanks for the info! ?
I've searched for hours on google and this forum about rooting, bootloader unlock, flashing, and cant really find anything, so I'm guessing i cant do much with it. Can anyone tell me if there is anything i can do to unlock this phone? I just got out of prison for 5 years... It used to be so easy to root a phone back then. Now it seems impossible wtf.

Blame LG for not allowing bootloader unlock on the g7. The only phone that can be unlocked is the European model.
