Looking around the forum and Lineageos' website I see there's no version for the H812 (Canadian version). As per my research I see you can't root it which is fine I don't want it rooted. I just want to install a custom ROM so I can get rid of the bootloop problem.
Can it be done?

The H812 has a locked bootloader and cannot be unlocked officially. This means you cannot install a custom rom in the usual sense. However, steadfasterX has successfully unlocked an H812. Refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/bl-unlock-unlock-bootloader-proof-t3648288and in particular the following post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73702478&postcount=66
Read the OP carefully and be fully aware of the risks and limitations. He can help with the bootloop problem as well.
You can root Lollipop (Android 5.1) but not Marshmallow (6.0) and install Xposed and Twrp-in-FiSH (a custom recovery developed by steadfasterX for LG G4's with locked bootloaders: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
Refer to the following thread for the root process and Xposed reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
Post any questions you have in the referenced threads.
I have a non-FiSH TWRP installed. It's steadfasterX's preview. Tried both O and N both work fine. However on mine I got issues with props not getting set properly, so I get junk for ro.build.device instead of h812. So I repackaged his Lineage OS and AOSCP ROMs. Did a nicer job with the LOS one. The other I just hacked out the assert() . The LOS one I put in ui_print() instead. Anyway, long story short I made myself a signed copy of each one (`signapk.jar`, `zipadjust`, and `minsignapk.jar` with that generic cert).
Also searching for H812 custom rom

I'm heavily searching for a way to install a custom rom for my LG G4 H812 phone. I'm very interested in AOSP extended rom.
Since decembre 2017, there is a new law in Canada that give the user the right to unlock the phone at any service carrier. Does this have a link to the "locked bootloader" @sdembiske?

No, the carrier does not promote bootloader unlocking. Some phone manufacturers offer 'official' bootloader unlocking for certain models but the only LG G4 models that can be unlocked this way are the H815 International/European and the H811 U.S models. However, all is not lost with regards to the H812 Canadian model. It can be 'unofficially' bootloader unlocked due to the brilliant and diligent work of @steadfasterX, recognized developer.
Refer to the following link: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU
Read everything fully and carefully in the OP (original post, 1st page) and make sure you understand it fully. Links to specific custom roms for the H812 will be found there. Post any questions, problems you run into on that thread.
Make sure you back up your stock Marshmallow rom with SALT, only, before proceeding to unlock your H812.

Yeah, check these forums (fora?); That's where I found all the info. I used SALT where it grabs all the partition data, and just followed the steps.
As for the H812, I ended up with TWRP, and Magisk for root access, and the latest LineageOS at the time. Battery life was a lot better, though the only problem I had was video playing. I couldn't get smooth playback above 720p. It may have improved since.

I'm about to buy the international version of LG G4. And wondering if anyone has had any success with installing Xposed with no issues.
Also would appreciate if anyone can please direct me for the most safe steps to root the G4
Thanks in advance :good:
i got bootloop with xposed.
there is good rooting guides if you look in g4 threads.

Too bad :crying:
I'm kinda obsessed using xposed & GravityBox, extremely looking forward to get xposed work on LG G4
If anyone knows the trick, please keep us posted .. and I will .. :good:
From what I recall back when I was running GravityBox on my Nexus devices, it is only supported on Nexus and AOSP-based roms. Pretty sure even if we get Xposed working on the G4, you won't be able to use GravityBox on the stock LG ROM.

Not sure if it would matter as far as this case goes, but I was able to run GravityBox on my Galaxy Note Edge (which was on a modified stock TW rom, so no AOSP-Base), Not sure why it would run on TW and not UX.....but then again, who knows....I guess the whole point is moot if we can not find a way to even get Xposed running in the first place.

As you know, you must unlock your boot loader before you can root your G4. Mine is the international or EU model H815 unlocked and rooted back in May. Take heart. It is easy. Key points are: a visit to the LG support site. Then can make your way to the Developer section and register to receive the bootloader unlock code. LG will try three times to dissuade you but will in the end email you the code. Once done the process is "irreversible" and will always show bootloader ulocked (on the boot screen). LG say they have listened to customers (a dig at Sammy and the i-sheep) and have started to roll out the unlock code globally. Yours may be listed already, if not it soon will be. It's been a month now so register / monitor the site. Once you unlock, you'll find step by step method of rooting your G4 here on xda. I posted one myself but thread was closed as there is one there already. Your next query will probably be a lean deodexed ROM or to install Xposed. Sadly, no news on either of those for the G4. Hopefully a bright spark will crack those soon.

That's not accurate, you don't need to unlock the bootloader to root the device. There is root available for most variants in the dev section and none of them save the 815EU and H811 (TMo) variant have an unlocked bootloader available. The H815 you have to get unlocked via the LG support site as you mentioned and the H811 is unlocked by default from TMo.

On the G3 we had a module called G3 Tweaksbox which did a lot of the same things as GravityBox, and more, specifically designed for the G3. We can hope the same happens with the G4!

Just keep in mind.. rooting this doesn't expose your device to only 1 major vulnerability... but 2, including stagefright. Administrative rights itself will make your device more vulnerable overall... and on top of that, you have the unpatched stagefright vulnerability that resides on the Android 5 LG H812 roms....... So think twice before you do anything.... ESPECIALLY because you cannot reformat the drive and clear any malicious software... God forbid something happens....

I'm betting this has been asked before, probably a no, but just to be sure.
Is there a way to downgrade a MM H812 to Lollipop, or is that not possible yet?
I saw this https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449, but didn't know if it would work for me or not, I'm not a newbie to this sort of thing (I've tangled with Amazon Fire HDX's, not hte easiest device to unlock), I just don't want to brick my phone for no good reason, thanks for the help.
That is the right link, there is also a watered down version on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3tcrcv/how_i_rooted_my_canadian_lgg4_without_ubuntu/ After downgrading for my H812 my camera wouldn't focus on LP, despite flashing third party camera apps or flashing other H812 KDZ. As such I was force to revert back to MM to have a workable camera, hope that doesn't happen to you as I really miss root. Happy flashing!
Once you downgrade and root, you can get TWRP-ish via FIsH, and get a good ROM, thanks for the help BTW.
EDIT! OK, not true at this point in time, do not try to use TWRP-in-FiSH to install a custom ROM.

TWRP-in-FiSH (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048) is an excellent custom recovery by steadfasterX for the LG G4 with locked bootloaders BUT you cannot flash any custom ROM with it, period.

I don't think you can even format the whole hard drive and reinstall the operating system using TWRP FISH, because without unlocked bootloader, you cannot touch the root partition.

Forget about custom roms, that is still lightyears away.... you cannot even clean-install the existing rom yet.
Member BAD-ASS , to my knowledge (I provided more information and help to him than anyone on the H812), has never downgraded to stock on the H812 or flashed a pre-rooted image on one (he had the H812 for a very short period of time and had no clue about what he was doing, finding it all too complicated). He has continued to come on as if he has done it all, when in fact he has done very little other than denigrate the phone and trade it off for an H815 by lying to a dealer in Qatar that his H812 was in fact a US model.
He has provided misleading, ill-informed and potentially harmful advice to many junior members on XDA. He has had his threads cleaned more than once by the moderators and had his account disabled twice by moderators.
As with most of his posts, they are off topic and generally a waste of space.
With that said, once again he shows a singular lack of knowledge about TWRP or TWRP-in-FiSH and android internal storage on the LG G4. For those members who actually wish to know more info regarding TWRP, senior member steadfasterX has written the Q&A on the official TWRP site. Please refer to the following links (the second one references internal storage as it is operational in and pertains to the LG G4 setup. Member BAD-ASS has been trying of late to denigrate TWRP (the premier custom recovery and most used one for Android), TWRP-in-FiSH and steadfasterX's work in particular. He himself has not contributed and never will contribute or have as much knowledge as steadfasterX.

So, my phone is working again. I connected it to the LGUP to see if it was recognized. I disconnected and reconnected to be sure as I wasn't familiar with that software. I was then interrupted, and didn't have a chance to do anything else. My phone then started working properly. No more lag on the touchscreen, and the playstore started working again. I really don't know why, but I am grateful. It has been a week now, and I have installed several apps with no issues.
Thanks to all who gave me guidance. It is greatly appreciated.
I realize that the USC version really isn't in anyone's Todo list, but was wondering if anyone has been making any effort to find a workaround for either an unofficial bootloader unlock or prerooted system image that would work in the us991 variant? Best outcome would be an unlock allowing TWRP and custom ROM use, or at least root and Xposed usage on the stock MM. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I surely hope so..I love my g4. I brought it over to TMO, and have no issues other than having to buy a new battery as original was falling after almost 4 years of service. I've honestly not feeling the need for a new phone, it's fast has decent storage, a gorgeous screen and the design makes it easy to hold even with it's screen size. My only worry is I've been following his posts and they are all focused on the other unlockable versions with nary a mention of my poor us991 lol
Dear all. Recently bought a G40F and ever since I was on the lookout for custom ROM support. more specifically, a well tested and "straight forward" custom ROM installation sequence. for a noob like me that's very important.
although Moto shares their kernel source code to custom rom devs, the ROM scene for G40/G60 is nowhere comparable to other phones like Poco X3. Im guessing thats because it's launched only in the Indian market(so far) and it hasnt attracted a lot of devs worldwide. well, its a shame tbh.
I have scoured the internet and was disappointed to find nothing of that sort. just a pile of generalized guides(beware of bricking) which is just copy pasted for every devices out there, probably for clicks and running ads. Yet, thank god I found this guy Selva Kumar A. He wrote a detailed guide and tested it on his own G40, and also has a guide if you happen to brick it.
once again, i am a noob and this would be my first custom ROM. So don't take my word for it. I am here reaching out to the community hoping to find better opinions and corrections to the techniques mentioned above. If any Devs reading this, please spare some time to evaluate this. bricking my phone is such a nightmare, but I want root access and try out some cool stuff.
Bootloader is not unlockable at the moment
Correct me if I'm wrong.
With an unlocked bootloader I can root the phone.
whereas for installing a custom ROM I should wait until a developer makes one that'd fit g40f, which also requires a unlocked bootloader

bro I'm guessing you're that youtuber no? Would you suggest I return this phone and wait until Poco x4 or something that'd have a big community support, hence custom roms n everything

50% build is already complete, rest needs an unlocked G40, if you somehow unlock BL of G40, reach Dev's through official moto G40/g60 Tlgrm group

the moto unlock key is just a sham?
I am eagerly waiting for bootloader to be unlocked by Devs. Hope they find a way soon to do it.

With an unlocked bootloader I can root the phone.
whereas for installing a custom ROM I should wait until a developer makes one that'd fit g40f, which also requires a unlocked bootloader
