LG G4 H815 20c-SEA-XX Marshmallow rooting possible? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I can't unlock bootloader, can't root it if my bootloader isn't unlocked. So I was thinking if I downgrade to 5.1 using LGUP. Will I be able to root my phone then?
If yes, can I get links to guides or just give me a basic gist on how I can root this piece of sh... And I'll google it then. Thank you.

i assume your variant doesn affect antiroll back.. you can check this on hidden menu i think its says software info. it would say antiroll back 0-1-2-3.? not sure but on mine h811 tmobile. i can only downgrade from 10n to 20i wich both are antirollback V2. the new 20o its V3.. son once am on 20o i cant go back. this is my case. not sure about other variants but if 0 then i think you can.. better ask.. but yes you can root it only and install xposed..
ask some one about the antiroll back.. and please let me know if it doesnt matter so that next time i can help better.

i have not use this one but its similar.. i used for h811 system image... on mine i had to be on LP 10n not sure aabout your variant... then copy the system image file ... its a 4.2GB file then put phone into download.. i opened folder and do a comand promt in there.. follow the commands and it moves the system image enter leave and it restarts with root on the phone....
like i said this is for the tmobile h811.. but its similar to this guide never done this guide so follow their steps..... good luck
First of all thank you for sharing this Im afraid i might brick ny device i thought there was some easy method like CF Auto root one click n done ... I Have to wait for bootloader to unlock i cant risk or is there any easy method flashfire?

i know i did mine too.. i was afraid too.. but there was an eaiser way for my h811.. its the same but it only talks about that phone... but it should be similar..
Theres no one click methods unless bootloaders unlocked which dont look like is ever gonna happen. As long as you follow the steps ure pretty safe.
NOTE THIS IS GOR TMOBILE ONLY H811
just read and since its shorter maybe you can get an idea on what to do with the other method .. this guy says to read the low effort as its the same....

G4 how to root it? (dont understand whats with bootloader and so)

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 .

Just got an LG G4

Hi,
I just bought a t mobile LG G4 from market here in Pakistan. its software version is H811-10n. My sim is working fine in it so it must be unlocked. Now I want to remove the bloatware but in order to do that I need to root the device.
To root the first step is to "enable oem unlock" however when I go to developer options and click on it and then click enable, nothing happens. A tick never appear in the box next to "Enable OEM unlock"
Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong.
jeje, there is a lot of info, is not as easy as activating oem unlock, just make some research. it is a sticky thread

to roo it theres 2 ways. one with locked bootloader. that you need to be on lollipop. i suggest lollipop 10n .kdz
on h811 we have antirollback means once you are in specific version you cant downgrade or you brick phone.
so if you want to have it unlocked bootloader. and want to stay in lollipop and marshmallow you can use either one lollipop 10n and MM 20i.. they both version antirollback v2 so you can switch between MM or LP.
for root and twrp bootloader unlock . fisrt you must flash KDZ 20i. from there you unclok bootloader. the root and install twrp.. and i think you can use lollipop 10n and rooted never done this though... or if you dont care about lollipop use the latest MM 20p. kdz thats V3 once you there you cant go back to 20i or lower only to 20o.

The problem is that all unlocking tutorials ask me to "enable oem unlock" but when I cannot do that. I would appreciate if you can give me a direct link to tutorial that will work for my phone .

h810 has bootloader locked so no twrp... and only injecting system rooted.img. but...... not on marhsmallow you need to be on lollipop... but theres antirollback. you need to findout if you can downgrade fisrt.
Use the search function and really do not open several threads asking the same question this is not the way it works

search for how to enter hidden menu on your variant ... enter code then go to software on bottom it says antirollback i think if its 0 then you may proceed..NOTE not sure so if 0 then it means theres no antirollback..
downgrade only if you are sure you can..

LG G4 VS986 Root question. 2BA or 13B

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

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! ?
