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

I am currently on android 5.1 and I want 6.0 so I heard I can update it with lg bridge.After that I have to unlock bootloader so I can acquire root permission.Would either of them make my phone not updateable with officials(ota)?
You probably will have to manually upgrade with a KDZ file. Maybe the real question is... is it worth to unlock bootloader and lost warranty?
Hello there!
I have a locked H815 and I've had many issues with it, especially when I upgraded to 6.0 and V20D. I've got it back from repairs and it's been downgraded to Android 5.1.
I saw that it's ok to use LGUP and flash 5.1 and 6.0 firmwares and that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader nor root.
Now, I want to ask if I unlock my bootloader, will I still be able to receive OTA updates? Or updates through LG Bridge?
Also, if I install a custom ROM right now, will I be able to successfully flash the stock firmwares and have the phone as it was just with an unlocked bootloader?
Thanks!

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 .
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)

Hey all. So basically I recently purchased the H815T Australian optus model. It was initially on Lollipop but updated to MM & I need root so I can restore all my data from my previous device but seems I need to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately it couldn't be done because the H815T isn't supported on the LG unlocking website. Is there another way to unlock the bootloader or rooting it? Please help guys, I really need to retrieve my data but can't do so till there is a method to root. Or would I have to downgrade to Lollipop & root? I'd immensely appreciate some assistance with this, cheers.

Thanks for your help. I really enjoy being on Marshmallow so don't really want to downgrade. Thankfully I got most of my whatsapp messages through google drive backup & most of the other apps did have some form of cloud storage. I'm gonna stick to MM till a rooting method does eventuate.
