Hello everyone,
I have a rooted LG G4 H818P v10k and wanted to install a recovery tool such as twrp but after digging around a little, I noticed that my bootloader is locked and LG supports unlocking the bootloader of the H815 variants only.
The part thrat confuses me is, does having a rooted device imply an unlocked bootloader and if not how can I unlock my bootloader.
How did you root it?
The lg h818p is impossible to root. You're a hero

your phone is locked for bootloader so no twrp yet.
for root you have use or someone a system.img already rooted. and replace it and phone is rooted as long as you in lollipop you can root.. so nope. you or someone just pushed the rooted . img into phone with commands. so no unlocked bootloader.

For LL you do not need an unlocked bootloader for rooting. For MM you need unlocking to root. The reason is that LL allows system modifications. MM not.

Sorry but that's wrong. There is TWRP available for his device. TWRP in FIsH.

Since you've alread rooted, did you try to install twrp from an android root app such as
Rom installer or flashify
This might work.

Tell me Sir,
What can you do with TWRP-in-FISH without Efidroid? It's like a car without an engine, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

you're just kicking in to every post you find just to either useless comment or asking questions which are already answered right?
TWRP-in-FIsH seems to be useful for many ppl out there which you may not understand because you have an unlocked device.
... if you ever would have read (and understood) the TWRP-in-FIsH thread you won't even ask those above questions.
Efidroid has nothing to to do with TWRP-in-FIsH.

Ok I will read TWRP-in-FISH thread... So why are you first making efidroid for unlocked devices, when it's the locked ones that need it ?

Check out: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
It's all there - all you need is to 1). ensure that your current stock rom does not have an anti-rollback provision that would prevent you from downgrading from Marshmallow to Lollipop (LP). Use LGUP-NEW for the downgrade - it will throw up an error if the anti-rollback provision is in effect and 2). obtain a stock LP version for your exact phone model (and a pre-rooted version, if one is available).
I checked before I started rooting, but the software version off the pre rooted version is 10D
Mine is, 20h but I'm not sure what will it be if I downgrade to LP

You are on Marshmallow with 20h. Your software version will be 10D (Lollipop) if you use that pre-rooted kdz. It will work if it's for your exact phone model ... However ...see if you can find a 10n or higher version. The 'h' LP version for some models do not have the latest stagefright vulnerability patch, 'n' versions and higher do. You can use the Stagefright Detector app (free on Play Store) to check if the kdz you choose has the latest patch
Will it effect if I get the same model but different software version?
I tested it and it said it's not vulnerable

Other than having the latest security patches and any added upgrades to the firmware, it shouldn't.
O.k. cool
But I had a problem finding a 10c kdz for my device
Do you know how to get one?
I need it cuz if I get a 10D or later, my phone won't accept to flash the root

Hi Guys,
I tried rooting my Marhsmallow LG G4 now and I couldn't get passed the step where you type in "ID" in accordance with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765.
I read somewhere that it was because I upgraded to MarshMallow.
Now - I want to know - If I downgrade to Lollipop can I follow the above root again and it will work?
Thanks!
Yeah.its possible. I returned lollipop from mm using LG up. Used to inject root and I'm using currently my g4 with root access.my recommend try to inject root. You don't need to open bootloader lock.

Does the method of loading a rotted kdz still work? I am wondering if I can do this with a Canadian H812 that was updated to M?

Assuming that you unlock the bootloader, root the phone and change the splash screen....
Reboot the phone.....
If Asus logo splash screen is black your bootloader is locked.
If Asus logo splash screen is white your bootloader is unlocked.

Why do you want to unlock the bootloader?
For the time being, there is no way to unlock the bootloader in MM. May be in the near future.
If you want to unlock the bootloader in MM, you need to temporarily downgrade the bootloader to Lollipop, unlock the bootloader and upgrade back to MM by the patched bootloader.

No.
To upgrade to MM from LP your firmware has to be at least 184.
You can use OTA or download the MM from ASUS site and install the MM in ADB environment with adb sideload command.
Do not upgrade MM via TWRP. MM install package does not compatible with TWRP. However, there is guide to modified the installation script in order to work with TWRP. The guide was written a year ago for Lollipop .
If your intention is to use custom rom in MM then you need an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery like TWRP.
In that case you need to unlock the bootloader in lollipop before you upgrade to MM. Like I said, there is no direct way to unlock bootloader in MM.
If your intention is to have rooted MM, then you do not need to unlock the bootloader.
You do not need to install the TWRP. You can use tethered TWRP to flash the super su zip file.

Hi !
If you don't have a custom recovery,maybe a flash with flashfire and the last SuperSU zip stable on the chainfire's thread....
