Dears,
i'm new to lg phones, so i need your help.
i have an H815 but when i try to unlock the bootloader the site says it is from singapore or something like that.
anyway i've searched a bit and i know that i can root without unlocking, but i have some questions :
1. can i install a new kernel without unlocking ?
2. can i install TWRP ?
3. what is the best custom ROM (stock) for LG G4 ? (i mean from your experience)

Hi everyone,
I have a dual sim LG G4 (H818p) and Ii would like to flash a custom rom to it. However, I searched the XDA fourm trying to find a rom which is compatible to my device but I couldn't find anything. During my searches I read that this variant of G4s has a locked bootloader and it is not possible to unlock it, so as a result you can't flash a custom rom or recovery. So is that right that I can't unlock my bootloader?? Anyone has any idea??
regards

Hello guys, sorry because may be this is the 50th time someone ask this question but the situation change every day. Yesterday I won from lottery and decide to go from G3 to G4. My model is European H815, I want to ask you can I root G4, change the recovery and e.t.c. without unlocking the bootloader? And also if I unlocked it is their any way to locked it again or to use my warranty? Thank you!!
well you can only root using low effort root(google it or find it here ) But to change recovery you have to unlock bootloader
No there is no way confirmed to relock your bootloader
GOOD LUCK
Thank you! If I root by this way and download Flashify and try to change recover what will happen ? Thank you!
without bootloader unlocked nothing will chnage ( recovery wont be installed ) and when you reboot your phone it will get u error (authentication error #9) as i remember and you will have to flash new firmware using lg flash tool 2014 so i dont recommend you do so
if u wanna change recovery unlock ur bootloader
you are welcome anytime
I did not get it, I hope you can light me up:
1. Doing root using low effort root means rooting without unlocking bootloader? (because I flew over the thread and did not read anything about it)
2. If I do unlock Marshmallow's bootloader, what happens when I downgrade to Lollipop via flashing proper KDZ? (I would guess that the unlocked bootlader will be overwritten!? So flashing Marshmallow again would end up in a locked bootloader, doesn't it?)
thanks
You can root lollipop without unlocking bootloader but with marshmalow you can't, you have to unlock the bootloader.
You need an unlocked bootloader for custom recovery.
Bootloader unlocking is a one way operation , you can't go back.
hey guys
i have 815P model and i cant unlock it , there is anyway to install Custom ROms on it ?
No . If Your bootloader is locked u cant. U just can flash kdz root it on 5.1 and use xposed and things like that. But no custom roms.
Goddamn!
I just got an 815P a few days ago and I thought it would be a normal simple procedure to root/unlock like my S3, but I can't seem to find anything either. The LG developer website will unlock the 815 bootloader but not the 815P. I've read about rooting the 815 (all versions?, does that include the 'P'?) but they're for older firmwares 10c etc.. I'm on 20D.
Is there no hope then I wonder?
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 .
Hey everyone, I haven't done any phone modding since getting an LG G4 but I'm wondering if it is yet possible to install CM14 (Android 7.1) on the LG G4 yet?
I know the bootloader was locked and probably still is, but is there anyway to make this happen yet?
Can I flash down to Lollipop, gain root and then flash the new CM14 even though it says you need an unlocked bootloader for the install?
I really hate that this Canadian version still has a locked bootloader!
no you can't. sorry
