Hi guys!
XDA has always been a great resource every time I visit. Hoping to get some advice.
My LG G4 recently performed a factory reset while being in my pocket during a walk. The KnockOn feature did so many bad password attempts (no idea how since the "life is good" prompt should stop this), it formatted my phone. Not only is my phone reset, but my SD card that i thought safe, was also formatted and all of my backups are gone.
So now I look to custom ROMs and rooting the device to have some fun. Only, where do I begin?
Current Software Info:
-Android Version: 6.0
-Android security patch level: 2016-11-01
-Baseband version: MPSS.BO2.5.c3-00133-M8992FAAAANAZM-1
-Kernel Version: 3.10.84-gaffe7c4
-Build number: MRA58K
-Configuration version: J14.LGE.VS986.0
-Software version: VS98628A
-Software status: official
-Security software version: MDF v2.0 release 2
I see many threads documenting how to root 11A and 13B. But since I've received OTA since having my phone, i am on 28A. Is that correct?
I am good at following all the instructions. Can one of you please help me get started? Thanks much!

You'll have to use LGUP to downgrade to LP then root using the one of many threads dedicated to that. But VS986 can't have any custom ROMs because the bootloader is locked.

ahh....so that explains why i'm not seeing any threads with ROMs for my model. yey!
just saw the thread you linked this morning. thanks much! i will start there.

I have boringly used an LG G4 for almost two years now. Just after a few months of using it, I had the bootloop issue, LG gave me another G4 which I've been using for more than a year. But I believe it is time to unlock the true potential of my phone. I've transferred all my pics and vids and similar stuff to my computer, so now it's go time. The only thing is... I don't know what to do.

These are the info I think are relevant. I have no experience in rooting whatsoever. What do I do now? (an up-to-date detailed guide also works for me)
Hey,
I still need help for this.
I've checked online and couldn't find anything for H-815TR v20i running Marshmallow.
Can someone come to my rescue?

It's very easy:
You can't unlock your device because LG allows unlocking of the 815 international version and 811 only.
Marshmallow can be rooted on unlocked devices only (so not on yours).
If you really need root you need to downgrade to lollipop.
Downgrading to LL requires a compatible anti roll back version. Search the forum for the code which displays your current antirollback version and the how-to for downgrading and rooting LL
.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
Oh okay.
So I can't root my phone as is, I need to downgrade to Lollipop to do that.
Well I was thinking of flashing some custom ROMs and maybe underclocking for more battery life but given that this is my only smartphone I'd better stick to its current state then.
find the service menu for your phone. Google lg g4 service menu. call that number. check anti roll back version (last entry) if 0 you should be ok to downgrade, if not 0 downgrade will likely brick your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
read carefully and ask a any questions before using LGUP if unsure
after that you can root with https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
or upload your img file and kindly ask someone to root it for you and re-upload it
Anti-rollback version is 0.
Hi guys I am new to this forum so if this thread is in the wrong section I apologize.
I have Samsung galaxy J7 2017 phone (SM-J730F). which I bought carrier free-unlocked from a seller in Croatia.
Unfortunately I was stupid enough to fall for the OTA update and installed Oreo on it, after that my phone's battery
life was cut in half and apps started hanging and crashing. I wan't to revert to Nougat, I have tried to flash
two official ROMS downloaded from updato and sammobile but it fails every time. Yes I have tried
multiple usb ports, cables and etc. Problem is I can't find the carrier free ROM for CROATIA on neither updato nor sammobile
and I downloaded south east europe rom which doesn't want to flash. By browsing through multiple pages
I found that the problem might be in the bootloader version, Oreo has higher bootloader version and doesn't
allow flashing a rom with lower bootloader version (which I havent checked). Please guys if someone could help
me with this, cause oreo is driving me crazy and basically making my device unusable. I'd appreciate it if someone could provide
links and tips or walkthroughs. Thanks in advance
