Root h815 with locked bootloader? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have just purchased a used h815 and when I went to unlock via the official lg website, I was informed that my phone was a US variant, and unlock was not available.
I'm currently running 20h.. is there any way at all given the locked bootloader to
A) get root access?
B) install cm13?
If the answer is no.. i think I'll be sticking this back on eBay...
Thanks!

Debrand LG G4

How can I debrand my LG G4?
where can I find the original no brand firmware for uk?
and how to flash it?
if someone can help, I really aprreciate.
Can I use something like this on a T-Mobile version?
You'll have to wait for the bootloader to get unlocked. Each phone will only allow your carrier-specific firmware to be flashed with the locked bootloader, which is why only the international version has root for now.

I have the H815 version, so I think it is possible to unlock the bootloader, right?
But then where can I find the firmwares? for Samsung is very easy because there is the samfirmware, but for LG?
Where to find a guide to do it?
thanks
Nobody can help?
Carrier versions can not be unlocked at the moment
I'm so sad to have taken this phone and not the s6......
marko68, the G4 only came out last week in the UK unfortunately you'll have to wait a few weeks because features you request start to appear. The S6 has been out quite a bit longer.
Yep a bit of patience is all that's required

I need help again.

Hello Developers, again I need assistance. I have decided to put a T-Mobile SIM into the LG H815 that I got from LG, but ran into an issue trying to get the Unlock Bootloader from LG. The site says I cannot get the .bin because I am in the US but I have heard you can root the phone to access the bands that are inaccessible, ie. band 12. Can anyone help be figure a work around for this? Thanks in advance.
The bootloader unlock doesn't go by your physical location. It goes by your IMEI and specific model. Not all the H815s can be unlocked. Which do you have?

It is the LG H815 with VX10b-EUR-XX software. It is the testers LG gave away a few moths ago.
The EU version should be able to have the bootloader unlocked. It say so on LG's developer site..

Hi, on the 'Unlock' thread, some people where having your problem and resulted that it was happening because the phone was actually a US version. Have a read http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-t3125162/page19

H812 VS other model numbers and ROMS

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a H812 Canadian LG G4 and I'm wondering if I would be able to use H815 or H811 roms on the H812? I looked into the android development section and there isnt a single rom built specifically for H812..
No
At the moment there are only roms for those cause they are the only ones with unlocked bootloaders that I know of also there aren't roms for any of the US variants because locked bootloader

Is there news of the bootloader getting unlocked in the near future for 812? Also does that also mean ROOT is not possible on 812?
$%#% me, get a H812 and only the H815 has unlocked bootloader. Why do the canadian variants always get shafted.
I knew the 0 dollar 2 year contract was too good to be true. I can live without custom roms for a while(please get twrp on it when possible)
but no root using an easy app. ughhhh....... really?!!!!
I hope they get on the move with a root method such as towelroot.
Any news on unlocked bootloader?

You can root the H812. See this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
Follow instructions on the root threads as you will have root. Extremely simple.
Doubt you will ever see an unlocked bootloader unfortunately

G4 818N MM V20C release

G4 818N MM V20C release today ....

any root image for V20C download ?
thanks
I don't think there is any. We never saw 20c.

Have you tried Systemless Root? If it works, there'd be no need to wait for a repacked boot.img to get root. If it works, please report back so I can add the H818N on 20C to the list of Systemless Rootable devices.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Systemless Root only works for bootloader unlocked devices and since there are no 818 models that are bootloader unlocked, that automatically cancels out the possibility that systemless root will work at this time.
Still hoping and keeping fingers crossed that someone will figure out a way to unlock the bootloader.
Take screenshot of 20c

Anyone tried Rooting the H815 with Windroid 3.1 ?

Just came over this at the Nexus 7(2013) xda thread, and noticed that it also now supported the LG G4 H815 ...... was wondering if anyone has tried it, and if it worked fine on Marsmallow firmwares.... it says it can unlock the bootloader, flash recovery and gain root !
if so is this must be the first "one click" root tool for the G4 that not claims money to do it for you

Will this work with LG g4 H815 Taiwan on marshmallow? Been looking at ways to unlock its bootloader twice a week for 4 months :|
Thats what I wonder too..... it says all H815 variants so maybe? If this works well on the G4 this would be a real easy way to require both Twrp and then gain root in a easy way :fingers-crossed: , thats why I wondered if anyone had tried it out

I tried and it asks for unlock files .bin
Hey guys, I tried unlocking it but it didn't work and after a bit of research i have gotten the impression that there won't be a way to unlock its bootloader for a long while (maybe never). I've had enough of LG and their BS so im selling my phone and buying a oneplus 3. I would recommed you do the same before the prices drop too much.
