So, is there a way to have nougat manually installed on the Canadian h812? I tried different tutorial using other variant that too have the bootloader locked, but sadly to know avail. Is there a way or something to update it manually? Thank you!!!
Nothing that can be done as far as I know. Seems like we're in the dark entirely

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 .
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.
Does anyone know if it's possible to have the H815 or H811 firmware on the H812 (Canadian version)?
I want to root my phone, but alas the Canadian LG G4 cannot unlock bootloader.
I'm fairly new to rooting and flashing, so any help is appreciated!

No that would hard brick your device.
You CAN unlock the h812 though by UsU.

follow SteadfasterX instrustions to unlock bootloader. UsU. It works! I did it. Now I can install h811 ROMS on my canadian h812!
Will I be able to flash custom ROMs on it afterwards? While researching, I couldn't find any custom ROMs that were available for the H812.

During the bootloader unlock process it tells you what firmware your device is compatible with. Mine said h811. yours will probably be the same.
Cool! I'll try it out sometime and see how it goes. Thank you two so much!

Hello again,
Which ROMs were you able to install? I tried using Genisys, but I can't even use the touch screen, let alone use it as my daily driver.

Suggest you close this thread and move over to steadfasterX's bootloader unlock thread - in the search bar there search for H812. All the roms are in the OP in the Downloads section. There is an AOSCP N specifically for the H812.
Are you sure you have followed ALL the instructions to unlock the bootloader using usu? Maybe you missed a step? I'm using the h811 ROM from this thread... Genisys. Daily driver, no glitches. It works flawlessly. Check the usu instructions again. I think you missed a step. It wasn't a quick easy thing. I made a bootable flash drive using steadfasterX's FWUL Linux distribution and used the tools on that... Takes about an hour to get to Twrp and flashing ROMs.

This is the one I'm using... https://host.llamasweet.tech/genesixx/LineageOS/h811/
I can't even tell you enough how valuable the tools and instructions from steadfasterX are for installing TWRP on the canadian LG G4. there is no other way. SteadfasterX spend a lot of time and energy developing the tools and the instructions to make it work. He should get some kind of gold metal for saving all the useless canadian G4's from going to landfill without updates!
1. Is there a method to root g8 thinq???
As far as im tracking right now there is no TWRP recovery image of the LG G8 ThinQ. I read This Post, and This Post, but didn't test it yet. If anyone rooted it, please let me know.
I have AT&T model. It has the option to enable OEM unlock. The phone is network locked to AT&T.
2. Also, are there any firmware available (e.g., clean one without bloatware)?
I have found This One but skeptical to actually try it out.
Despite the fact that Enable OEM Unlock is an option in Developer Options, when I try to boot into the bootloader, it is unsuccessful. Apparently LG has blocked access to the bootloader on this, as well as other phones.
For the record, I'm on AT&T as well.
Thats kinda lame. I thought that LG wont have same practice with keeping their phones locked as Samsung... Anyway, THIS POST shows supported devices to get to bootloader for LG. Looks like wont have any root any time soon.
What about that firmware without bloatware. Looks like it doesnt require the bootloader?
Hello, can you unlock the bootloader of the LG G8 ThinQ ANDROID 11 AT&T

I just purchased a Verizon LG G8 that is unlocked and want to use it on Metro. I haven't gotten the phone yet but I would like to (if it's possible) flash a unbranded firmware. I'm confused about whether I can use LGUP or LG flash tool to do this. Can someone please tell me if this can be done and if so what is the best firmware to flash to have it unbranded with minimal bloat?
I miss the good old days on XDA where people actually came on XDA and there was always someone able to help out. I feel like that doesn't exist anymore. Too many phones and too many different carriers.
I don't think there's a patched LGUP to do this for LG G8 yet.

Holy shiit, someone actually answered my question! That is insane! Thanks for the info man!
Is there a y method that currently works to flash firmware on the LG g8? I would like to flash the stock unlocked carrier unbranded firmware.
There is no way to flash through LGUP or any other tools currently but you can unlock boot-loader root and install firmware package through twrp but doesn't work for T-Mobile or Metro

There is a thread for it and same thing at the g7 thread. Just use octoplus jtag pro to flash the v35 engineering boot-loader to device and from there you can unlock boot-loader and do all the stuff. If you dont have octoplus jtag pro there is a guy who will do it for you he charges i dont know how much though.
