Just bought G4 - Software Update & Root Query!

Afternoon all,
I've just today bought a LG G4 here in the UK.
I am planning on rooting the device using the locked bootloader method. I did some reading and I understand this is not possible with the Marshmallow Update so i am trying to be cautious of that - the phone currently says that there is no updates available at the minute but I know these things can sometimes take some time to filter through.
I am just wondering if the device is on the latest EU software before Marshmallow or if I should manually update it to the latest Lollipop version if there is anything newer?
The software info currently shows:
Android version 5.1
Kernel Version 3.10.49
Build Number LMY47D
Software Version V10d-EUR-XX
Hardware Info just says the model number is LG-H815.
Any advise would be appreciated. The method I am planning on doing is the one where you inject root into your own image you take via Download Mode.
Thanks

The software version is the latest. The way you wish to root it is up to you, but since you have the H815, unlocking the bootloader is much easier method IMO.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Right now I don't want to go unlocking the bootloader and voiding my warranty whilst the device is only a few days old.
Probably will do the bootloader unlock when I am 100% happy with the device.

ZE551KL-Z00TD: Unfortunately, Unlock Device Tool has stopped working.

For the past 5 hours I've been scrawling through forum posts and google search results trying to simply find a way to root my device. I use my phone for PC repair A LOT and not having DriveDroid is a massive hinderance.
I finally found that I need to unlock my boot loader before I can root. So I did exactly what the forum post said.
1. Download Unlock tool (ZE551KL)
2. Enable Unknown APKs
3. Move tool to phone
4. Install and run
5. Go through all checkboxes and agree and continue.
Then the app gives me the error message in the title.
"Unfortunately, Device Unlock Tool has stopped working."
Device information:
Model number
ASUS_Z00TD
Android version
6.0.1
Android security patch level
June 1, 2016
Build number
WW_user_21.40.1220.1708
I guess my question is just that. Is there any way to unlock and root this phone? Currently, it's been factory reset and is unlock SIM-wise, but that's it.
TIA.

I just realized that update 1708 wasn't available for the ZE551KL but was for the ZE550KL. The person I bought the phone off somehow got 1708 on the ZE551KL?

You can't unlock 6.0 at this point downgrade and unlock

Does anyone know which framework supports the unlock device tool?

From here, it says that CM nightly builds need MM firmware. Meaning downgrading isn't an option. What do we do about that? thanks :good:

IMEI LS922 / ROM AS922. What to do?

Hi guys,
So I have and LG G5 that I bought recently and when looking into IMEI online I find that my model is LS992 but on my "About Screen" and even firmware it is AS992.
I wanted to flash back the LS992 using LG UP and everything, using "Upgrade Option" but an error shows: "Can not because of LS992 -> AS992."
I need to add that i want to get back to the LS992:
- because with this build i dont have tethering, even with Shareit
- need to reboot the phone everytime so it can be detected into my PC.
Any help would be much appreciated.

LG K10 420n can't enter fastboot

Dear all,
I have spent many hours today trying all around guides on how to unlock bootloader, root, and then flash lineage OS 15 to my LG k10 420n. Can't unlock bootloader, no matter what. here are the things I've tried:
All the combinations of buttons on other threads during booting.
Have several pc tools to give me root access or unlock bootloader to no avail.
Somewhere I found that security patch 2017 had an issue with superSU, and so I have flashed the oldest stock rom available, which brought security patch down to 2016.
My problem is that the device is not listed with the `fastboot devices` command (while I can do anything I like with adb.).
I'd love to provide you with every piece of information that I have, it's just too much to list it all at once, and also to avoid unecessary flooding.
Thanks in advance!

I am in desperate need of help.

I accidentally erased the whole device and it won't boot. I can boot into fastboot mode but that's it. The bootloader is LOCKED and I am just trying to find a way to get the device useable again. Maybe I can flash the firmware if someone has the exact device I am not sure. I can't figure out how to add a pic but fastboot shows....PRODUCT-NAME: bullhead
VARIANT: bullhead LGH790
HW VERSION: rev_1.0
Bootloader version is BHZ11H
BASEBAND VERSION: M8994F-2.6.36.2.20
SERIAL: AINT GONNA SHOW THAT LOL
SIGNING: productive
Device state is locked. Any help would be greatly appreciated ?

Download factory images from Google.
https://developers.google.com/android/images#bullhead
Click download link for 8.1.0 (OPM7.181205.001, Dec 2018) ; the last link for Nexus 5X bullhead
Extract the zip
Follow these instructions: https://developers.google.com/android/images#instructions
Since the factory images are officially signed by Google, they should flash even with the bootloader locked.

isn't there a way to unlock the bootloader with NRT?
