So I did some searching online and found that LG decided to update some of the eastern models to 7.0. My question is weather the models in North America will get nougat by OTA or if I can load it manually without root. I just got a brand new H812 model and I'm sick of the OS. Will flashing the official nougat for those models work on my phone?

It's looking increasingly likely that the H812 will not get 7.0 (you can check out the *****-fest on https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/official-nougat-g4-v10-q2-2017-t3567402 to get a better idea).
I do not recommend flashing any other models of official Nougat - with the H812 locked bootloader and the model differences you will most likely hard-brick your device - I am not aware of any H812's that have successfully done this but will stand corrected if someone has managed.
Now with that said, do not abandon all hope. Senior member steadfasterX has been working steadfastly on overcoming all these issues and has recently had a breakthrough development (refer to post #252 in his thread [Bootloader UNLOCK][LS991|H81x|VS986|F500] Unofficial unlock -> PoC).
So hold on and wait for further developments and check his thread there regularly ... he had previously unlocked successfully an H812 but with some limitation but this new development may lead to all limitations and risks being overcome shortly.

Thank you very much
Exiting stuff!
No point in waiting any longer, lol - it is doubtful that the LG G4 will last much more than this year before they all are toast - either by battery or by the phone itself.

Nobody has had to wait. As of March 8 '18 were able to unofficially unlock our locked LG G4 H812 bootloaders, thanks to @steadfasterX 's brilliant & persistent work: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU
Not only have we been able to install a ported official Nougat stock rom but many of us have been using custom Nougat and Oreo roms. Batteries can be replaced and later LG G4 models have not suffered the ILAPO issues that plagued earlier versions.
Custom Rom for LG G4 H812
Can someone tell me where I can find a custom rom for the LG G4 H812? In particular where I can find the ROM for Nougat. I'm curious if I can go from MM to Oreo and skip over Nougat? Can I also go straight to Pie from MM? And if I find any of these unstable or unsuable, can I downgrade after upgrading?

Most custom roms have their own thread in the following forum: G4 Android Development and some of the very best can be found in SteadfasterX's Download Server - steadfasterX is the author of the unofficial bootloader unlock process for the LG G4.
Note: If you have not unlocked your bootloader unofficially following the process in the linked thread in post #6 ([UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU), you will have to complete that whole process first before you can install a custom recovery and rom. Read everything very carefully and make you you understand it fully.

Hello, I understand that a model can be specific to certaing regions, due Radios, etc..., But I am totally confused now, as there are way too many versions of the LG G4.
For instance, I am seeing that LG Mexico is announcing the H815P model, I wonder if this model is very different than the standard version (H815)?
Carriers in Mexico tend to add too much bloatware to their phones, would it be able to add a very stock version of the firmware, even though it is for another version, F.i. H815?
Thank you
Not sure if this matters or not, but my (South African) LG G4 is model H815P

Does your SA version of the phone have pre-loaded bloatware? Is it carrier specific?

Can you (or any other H815P users) share your IMEI with me via PM? Feel free to leave the last 4 digits if you wish to stay "anonymous".
Having IMEIs of every single variant allows me to keep track of things without needing to wait on users. I won't hold it against anyone for not sharing... but it would be much appreciated if someone could. :good:

thanks. H815P has no root at all? Even on Android 5 Lollipop? If no one's made a pre-rooted system.img for H815P I can look into getting one for you guys.
No root on Marshmallow though due to locked bootloader. Nothing available as of yet anyway.
I bought G4 on Chile, version H815P. Came with V10a. Updated trough LGUP to 10d as corrects lots of things.
Battery for MM (for me) it's just awful. I tried 20c 20d 20e.
You can flash H815 KDZ to H815P

Thanks. That would be much appreciated. Even Low Effort Root doesnt seem to address the H815P. Updated OTA to MM V20d now, think will stay on it till a solution is found. :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
Reading this article
http://www.xda-developers.com/a-look-at-marshmallow-root-verity-complications/
And with the locked bootloader of the LG G4, does this mean whenever marshmallow is released for the G4, it wouldn't be possible to root without a new exploit?
Sorry
seems like already a thread with discussion here http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/marshmallow-t3218595/post63238531#post63238531
So i just got my old cracked lg g4 h812 canadian model to add to my phone collection seeing that my lg q6 is my daily driver and i can't root it and i wanted to get back into the android game with rooting and all that and i want to downgrade my lg g4 to android lollipop and i can't find any virgin firmwares. So will the bell firmware work for my virgin lg g4?
Btw if it says my devices are lg g4 and lg g6 i put lg g6 to take the place of my lg q6 cause there's no lg q6 option. So now you know

I use this site: http://phonefirmwares.com/lg-g4-h812-android-6-0-phone-stock-firmware-rom-canada-variants/ usually but it appears to be down right now. Hopefully it's not defunct. They do have the Bell versions. Yes, you can use the TELUS rom but may be preferable to stick with Bell for now and get your phone carrier unlocked, if you haven't already.
You want to be on Marshmallow if you are going to do the bootloader unlock process. It will give you so many more options and you can have root on Marshmallow if you want. You do not have to root first in this process, it comes after the unlock and TWRP install.

Scroll down to the latest 6.0 version if you plan to bootloader unlock and select a later version (later version e.g. z instead of a)

You'll have to Google for it then ... OR search the Canadian H812 guide thread and search Bell/Virgin there and see if a member can help you in one those searched posts for a kdz - you do not have to stick to the E version if there's a later more security/bug - free up-to-date one ...

It won't work like a normal update since the software is for a different model. You could probably flash your device to a Korean variant but since you cannot relock your bootloader, you won't receive OTA's. I don't see the point in doing it unless you want to try out the Android 10 beta (coming this week) but up to you. There should be guides about flashing to a G710N but I haven't done it so can't help with that.
There's nothing special in the update, LG has release notes for the Korean models:

Recently got a LG G8 thinq at&t variant, we have the bootloader unlocked, but cant find any custom roms, and it seems at twrp doesn't support this model, so can't flash GAPPS, even if we did get a rom. Can anyone help? Thanks
can you tell me please how did you unlock the bootloader?
There are no custom roms yet. Someone has to make one. I'd take a crack at it if I wasn't retarded when it came to programming. Every time someone tries to help me I screw it up.
