First of all, sorry for my bad english,im Spanish and im was trying learn this language.
I write a post becouse i have a problems and i need a hard help with my LG G4.
Okey, now i will post my troubles.
My first trouble with LG G4 it's i have doubts (My lg g4 it's free thanks to the guarantee but will expire early). Playing Clash Royale with my LG G4 have a micro frezees never have it and i doubt from LG, becouse i was battled so hard for change my smartphone (the first was a bootloop problems).
My 2nd trouble it's about bootloader, my phone has locked bootloader and i know, i can't install custom roms but i dont want this, i only want stay in Stock Rom (Changiung stock launcher for other better like nova or similar idk)+ Root + Maybe Xposed + No bloatware.
My initial idea it's have a stock rom (like Lollipop V10G) + ROOT and then have a backup for trying install and uninstall apps safe without staying all of time flashing and rooting but when i try restore backup with Titanium Backup i have a bootloader problems and the only way for turn on the phone it's flashing stock rom (Lose root etc..). ¿The question it's i have a way for do Backups with botloader locked and then restore it and the phone stay exactly the same before install/uninstalling?
And the third and last question at this moment if the 2nd trouble dont have solve,i can't do a kdz with my pc based in v10 or MM (don't care,only want bests stock rooms) and delete all of bloatware and add some app (Like nova for example) (Sry im a noob with that phone and i read hard but i dont understand).
Thank you very much for your help dudes, rly.

Hi guys, i recently bought a g3 and i have to say that it's a pretty stunning smartphone. However I hate the stock rom as i think that its heavy even for this phone. So (until the developers find a way to unlock the bootloader and we can flash custom roms) i want to root and debloat using the titanium backup app. But i have a few questions and i hope that someone will be kind enough to clarify some things for me.
1) What is the best method for root, purpledrake, stump or ioroot? I have updated to the latest ota v10h-eur-xx.
2) Is there a root counter? Will the root increase the counter and void the warranty?
3) After i successfully root my phone what option do i use in titanium backup, freeze or uninstall? And for which apps?
4) Can someone who has debloated his g3 post a screenshot of the running apps screen so i can see how much ram is being used and how much ram is free? I have around 450-500mb free ram in my stock phone, which i think its a small amount.
Thanks in advance

1. I believe purpledrake works for all G3s, it's always on the top of the android development section for the G3, It's very easy to use and worked for me no problems on my D852.
2. Nope. Aslong as you flash back to stock there will be 0 signs you had rooted.
3. You can safely use the uninstall, unless you want/need to use that app later then you just freeze it and unfreeze when you use it. If you google LG G3 bloatware you can find some pretty good lists of apps you can remove, use caution doing so.
4. My phone is shut off right now so i can't snag a pic this very minute, mabye in an hour if you really want it, but for now when i say i'm running barebones i'm talkin only 3 running processes because my phone is extremely debloated & degoogled but my phone uses around 870mb used & 1.9gb available.
EDIT: Here, check post #7 it's a very informative but unfinshed bloatware list.

Hi all
I recently purchased an LG G3 mobile and it is running lollipop 5.0 on o2 and I would like to change a few things 1. change the colour of that orange top in the messaging app - people have told me I need root for this so my question is:
What is the best and safest root process for me to use as I have never rooted before and havnt got a clue, I just do not want to break the mobile as its brand new. I don't want it to change any counters, timers, warrantys or do anything else and especially I do NOT want it to stop me getting OTA android updates
thank you hope somebody can help me cheers

Hi there.
As soon as you root any phone you immediately lose your warranty. However if you ever need to send it for repair, you can easily revert the process these days.
LG, unlike Samsung, has not what you call "timers" meaning a record if you have rooted and how many times you have flashed your phone so you are pretty safe on that aspect as LG cannot tell. Even on Samsung these days there are ways to revert the so called "timers" to null.
Once you root your phone you will also lose the capability of OTA's but as I said this can be easily undone...you unroot, update the OTA and root again. (if a root method is available for that specific version of OTA which usually is and if not it comes out usually in a few days/weeks)
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
***One word of advice: read, read and read. Rooting and flashing custom ROMS is fun and custom ROMS are way better than stock. Just take your time to learn and don't be in a hurry. This way nothing will happen to your phone.
Hope this helps you and if I did please press the thanks button.

thank you very much for your info, so I shall just use the link posted about and root that way. Although I DO NOT intend to use a custom rom. one of the reasons I want to root is to get rid of the stupid Mcafee app that comes on the LG G3

Yes mate just follow that tutorial and you will be alright. Don't forget to read well first so that you will know what you are doing and nothing wrong will happen.
You don't have to install custom ROMS though. There are an immense amount of things you will be able to do to your phone once rooted.
Enjoy!
Hello my dear friends,
Yesterday i bought a new lg g3s. Mobile looks super cool and i've already loved it. The problem is that in store didn't tell me that the device was from "TIM" carrier and now i'm having about 30 little applications In menu and the UI looks terrible. Is it possible someone show me the threads i have to follow to install a clean version of kitkat. Like theone that mobiles comes Usually.
Thanks
Hi,
When you say little applications do you mean bloatware or distorted UI?
The process to change the Rom is easy. Just follow the tutorial for rooting and then install twrp.
If root doesn't the first time check the drivers. It gave me a hard time when i rooted
Sent from my phone
I mean that the carrier is TIM (like orange, vodafone, etc) and the UI is formed for TIM users. It has preinstall apps for them. I just want to reinstall a nice, clean kitkat without all those apps.
So the method is as always the same. Root and then install Kitkat twrp. After this can i unroot it again?
Any pro user to confirm my question. I need a finally "okidoki" to start the procedure. Please please it is critical for me to have a boost to do it!
Thanks
yes, you can unroot later
Guys last call!!! promise!
After searching for hours in xda forum and watch some youtube videos i finally found what i want to do.
My problem was the bloatware that carrier had pre-installed in the device. First i thought that the solution in this problem was to found a clean version of Kitkat 4.4.2 and flash it. Like all LG G3s (beat) devices coming without any carrier. I still want to reach that goal but i really dont know if flashing is the right way. I found an after-root software that can backup/hide or remove those apps but i fill like this is not the right way to do this.
I rooted my device from the guide in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048
Now questions coming like rain!!!
1) "Patching Bootloader" is it optional? it looks like it is necessary to move to next step.
2) "Install TWRP Kitkat: Download TWRP for KK" includes the kitkat version that i am looking for (and i described previously) or it 's just a tool for flashing?
3)And finally if i manage to flash device and make it looks like a Non-Carrier device, unrooting will bring it back to "carrier mode"?
I rooted in the past windows mobile phone and i remember some things (like bootloader adjustement is necessary) but windows from androids are a bit different.

As you said you rooted the phone, you can simply install Titanium backup and feeze (better option as can be unfreezed later) / uninstall the apps you don't want. Flashing the recovery will help you flash other custom roms. So installing titanium backup will solve your problem if bloatware is only concern.
Hit thanks if I helped.
Hi, I got the lg g4 H-815 , android version 5.1 and v10c software. I want to root the phone because i want to flash roms and kernels to get a better performance.
, but im confused will all the guides, therefore i got some questions i would really appriciate if someone answers them.
1. Do i have to unlock bootloader in order to gain root access and flash roms etc?
2. What is the most easiest and reliable guide to root the phone?
Sorry for my English.
Root is not needed for flashing ROMs, what is needed is TWRP and unlocked bootloader, when the bootloader is locked it means that it will not boot up if it detects that you flashed 'stuff' unsigned by LG - custom ROMs! Anyway if you only want to root it and you don't mind of MM, you can root it on LP without unlocking the bootloader. Although, if I was on your place I would hold on a minute and checked my serial number first because it is more likely that your phone can die at any minute, independently of what you are actually doing on your phone... G4 is a ticking bomb, when mine fell into a bootloop (it's not like a bootloop when you flash something wrong, the phone is like dead ), since I have unlocked my bootloader LG refused to repair it so many times... They just gave my number to SBE and said that they will repair my phone if I pay, guess what, these idiots refused as well. About 3 times tho. So I was on my own, after a month I managed to make my phone work(ish). I'm not saying I fixed it because this is unfixable. I just made it work. Not fully functional tho, at least it will last I'll buy a new phone, and no more LG for me. And I would recommend you to have a think about doing this stuff. If you have warranty they will replace it immediately, but if not you'll need to fight them up, as I am going to. PSST, you can still root it on LP without losing the warranty, remember!!
Hi there!
just wanted to ask, becouse didn't find proper answer:
is there any way atm to flash rom without voiding warranty? I want some stock based rom - Genisys for ex. Bu i'm not sure, if there will be some problems with my phone I can return it to service, backing up everything to stock.
And next question - which rom is best? I mean, I really like stock features like smartshare beam, stock mail app, and calendar, and ir tv remote. B?ut Ive had couple of CM's and really like them too when I was on my Nexus 5.

When you want to flash a custom rom you need to unlock your bootloader. If you unlock your bootloader your warranty gets void (in most countries)
So the answer is no you can't .
And next question - which rom is best? I mean, I really like stock features like smartshare beam, stock mail app, and calendar, and ir tv remote. B?ut Ive had couple of CM's and really like them too when I was on my Nexus 5.

This question cannot be answered by anyone else then yourself. If you like stock choose a stock based custom rom and if you want to have a more advanced feeling use a CM based one. Best practise is to backup with titanium plus within twrp before testing any other rom . Twrp / nandroid because if the new rom feels bad you can easily switch back and titanium for migrating apps between roms.
Choosing the right rom is mostly a individual personal decision because of what you need and what not. Besides that i can recommend only to choose a rom where you can see continuesly development . Well this is no guarantee for anything but may have better chances that things get fixed and most important that android security fixes gets included. This one is the most important point for me that's why I decided to move away from stock rom...
Happy flashing (if you are brave enough )
.
You can't flash a ROM without unlocking the bootloader which voids your warranty. Unlocking the bootloader is currently only supported on the H815 International model.
As for ROMs - CM may be the cleanest/smoothest, AICP and Genisys are my top favorites for the G4. I'd also recommend flashing a custom kernel like Imperium or LuPuS
you can only root if on LP. and install xposed.. with locked bootloader. seach on google.
im rooted with custom recovery (unlocked bootloader) but not bothered with any roms, happy with g4 tweaksbox and viper4a
So I can't install anything when I'm on stock MM? I wanted Genyisys rom.
Is LG backup working good when changing from stock to Genyisys?
You can but you need to unlock the bootloader . I had stock MM and moved to Ressurection Remix after unlocking. I wouldn't trust anything else the titanium backup but that's my own opinion. Unlocking is possible for the European edition only.
What about root? And LG backup?
when unlocked you can root without problem. I do no trust LG backup but maybe others can tell you.
I'm asking because unlock means reset phone to defaults... Yes? Or can unlock without erasing data?
Yes unlock will erase your data !
I would recommend to use 2 backup tools.
Try LG backup but also another tool like "helium" (needs a pc) or "my backup pro" .
