Can you see the serial number of the new motherboard from Aliexpress?
From which country are you, does it have problems with frequencies as the motherboard is from Chinese variant?

I had flashed (accidently) chineese firmware on one h818p, then flashed another one via LGUP and everything went great, so you shouldn't have any problems

Yes, but you have device (H818P) which supports European frequencies. If I order Chinese variant from Aliexpres, maybe it doesn't support EU frequencies?
Another question is serial nr., because if I get some with 50x, who can guarantee me that the bootloop issue wouldn't happen again?

If it's the same model, you should be fine after flashing European rom, nobody will give you a guarantee on bootloop issue and there is a high chance that it might be a refurbished or repaired board.

Well, from Aliexpress site it states that it's only H818 model, nothing else.
I have dead/bootlooped H818N from Hong Kong which worked well in EU countries.

KDZ flashing

Hi I have a H815 G4 from EE uk running fw version v10b-230-30.
Can I flash any eu H815 KDZ to upgrade fw?
Sorry for the noobness I'm coming from 4 years of Samsung and this is my first LG.
Thanks in advance [emoji106]

Hey guys,
as long as it's h815 and without any suffix, it should be fine.
I flashed the EU one on my SEA version, works well.
Please forgive my noobness. I've only every owned Samsung until now.
What suffix? I have a H815P here in South Africa. It came with v10b but upgraded to v10c after rooting with the low effort method.

yeah, I mean THAT suffix.
The European G4 is H815 (no T, P, or anything after the number). Other variants have some suffix after the number, such as the Taiwanese one (h815T).
SEA G4 has the same model number as the EU G4 (H815) so it can be flashed with the same KDZ.
I haven't tested out other models yet, so I can't comment on whether flashing the h815 KDZ on them will cause any kind of problem. Best be safe.

So the H815P, H815T and whatever "similar" variant/with a suffix could be flashed with the same ROM? leaving the H815 and the SEA to be flashed with another/same ROM.
Is that correct? I also a long time Samsung owner and coming to LG has me all confused.

H815p - need to be flashed with a H81P kdz
H815T - need to be flashed with a H815T kdz
Simple as that.

US Variant H815 rooting question

Before anyone asks, yes I've searched, but have not been able to find any solid answers. So here I am. I just bought an LG G4 from ebay, I was listed as a T-Mobile model but when it arrived, I discovered it was a US model H815. It's running vx10b-eur-xx. These apparently have locked bootloaders. My question is, is there any method I can use to root this device and run a ROM like CM14, or am I stuck with what it's got? Like I said, all my searches never really come up with a for-sure answer. (hopefully this is in the right spot)

i think theres no american h815 i would returned for misinformation.
no cm only root if you are on lollipop.
unless its one of the europeans models that can be unlocked. serach for LG G4 than can be bootloader unlocked and chek if yours is one.

Apparently there is a US Variant H815, when I attempted the unlock the bootloader the LG developer website stated that the device could not be unlocked because it was a US model. Not the exact quote, but close enough. Thanks for the reply though.

Rogers Bootloader unlock/model number.

Hello.
I was thinking of getting an LG G4 as an upgrade from my shattered Huawei y6, but I was wondering how easy it would be to unlock the bootloader on the Rogers (Canadian) variant. I can't find anything on this. Also what is the model number for that phone?
Thanks for your time!

You can't unlock officially the Rogers model. The only ones are h811 which is T-Mobile US and h815 international(!) version.
There is a way to unlock unofficially with limitations which can be found in my signature
Besides this you should know that depending on the manufacturing date you will suffer from a hardware issue. Just search for bootloop g4..

Rogers phones are now 6 or 7 #?series I wouldn't would about bootloop
Although I avoided Rogers got an American phone because of bootloader

Whether I buy LG G4 H818P or not?

Hello guys, I bought a LG G4. The seller today said that they have sent a H818P Dual SIM version. I already have an G4 H815 European Version and I wanted exactly the same one to easily unlock bootloader, root new ROM flash etc. after warranty period.
Should I send it back or should I accept it? What do you suggest to me? Will it be easy to find custom ROMs for H818P in the future (2 years later).
Also, is there any significant differences between them especially for my country Turkey? I have read some posts about rooting H818P with H815 ROMs. Are they easy to cope with? Or is it better to send it back.
Thank you beforehand for your suggestions.
