I was searching every day for a year now about ceustm roms for the f500 brand no news no one explaining why and what should we do..
Anyone can explain why we can't flash custom roms ? or if there is any solution.. Or did i miss a thread. thank you

The f500 device is compatible with the h815 rom.
There is nothing to discuss about. F500 'can't' flash ROMs as it can't have its bootloader unlocked. I've heard that people convert their F500s to H815 but unless you can make it a H811 then there's nothing to talk about, as H811 doesn't require key to unlock the bootloader.(not sure about Nougat, as many things have changed)

Just wait a bit for unofficial unlock to be released any moment now! And then you'll be able to flash at your desire, be it root, mods, ROMs, kernels etc.

Yea the unofficial unlock is on its way. It's already proven to work on h810,h812,ls991,vs986,h815
I still need a f500 user willing to test it so if you want to unlock write me a PM.

Hello all i just order my G3 and as a nexus user for years i wanna ask some questions just to be sure what will i do after my device came to don't brick it...
So did the G3 (internasional) have locked bootloader??Did it need to unlock it for root and custom recovery??
If its unlocked can towelroot root the device and don't mess with a bunch of bat files and downloads etc etc??
If anyone came from nexus community they sertiny know franco and faux did anyone uses their commits to build a kernel if now who do you think is a great developer for G3
and also this lollipop versions that exist are they official,leaks,soak tests???thanks sorry if those questions are asked before and also excuse me for my english!!!

G3 is easy to root and bump (install TWRP)
Bootloader is locked and Bump gets around the lock.
Root using the correct tool for your model check original dev section
Flash Bump'd twrp using flashify and your golden
The lollipop is official for most devices except carrier specific which i'm unsure about

Bump is the workaround of locked bootloader ? So flashing let's say twrp from official site will brake the unlock?

Is blobs and everything available? Google has a guide on building so for those who make threads like this go build yourself?
okay then we wait and see, I still have not rooted. I wait until it gets really stable

The bootloader is only unlockable to a very few select H815 variant users. Only a specific region or two can unlock their bootloaders, as such, not many devs have been able to work on any ROM's.

Would you please clarify ... I have an H815, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Are you saying that there is a CM for the LG G4 to replace the stock G4 ROM, L5.1 ? Cyanogen don't list H815, nor have I seen any other deodexed lean ROM elsewhere. Thanks in advance.
There is no cm yet. For this, you need devs and root and an unlocked bootloader helps. As all American variants are not unlockable and not rootable in a safe manner, devs would need to get a European h815. The phone has been out for three weeks now, so there was no time for anything like customizing stock or even a whole custom rom. This will take some time and it is not guaranteed to happen at all.

I unlocked my H815 back in May. Quite simple. Key points: a visit to LG support site. There you 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. It remains valid for a couple of days and once done the process is "irreversible". Your G4 will always show bootloader ulocked (on the boot screen). In my view that's a good thing and shows that the owner cares. LG say they have listened to customers (a dig at Sammy and 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.
I'll probably still waiting for a dev to produce a lean deodexed ROM for quite a while yet!

Okay, so this means LG will support unlocking also for "non-EU" devices soon?
The next problem is: driver sources.
Without them cyanogenmod will become a problem?:crying:

CM needs to be built from source and no dev that can build one has the H815. Google build cm from source and maybe you or anybody that owns the H815 with patience can build one. Start a new dev thread for help to get one built once you get started.

Thanks for confirming that there is no CM for the G4. LG are committed to providing unlock codes. The global rollout has started. G4 is a top device and deserves a CM. Can't wait. Four weeks since I got one.
Hi sorry this is my first time posting and I'm not sure it belongs here . I was looking on how to root the the LG g4 on here however I didn't the LG-500L variant listed. Is it rootable yet? If so can someone tell me how and point me to a guide? Thanks so much

DO NOT use the method posted in general thread unless the rooted system is the same version as your current system.

I've got to agree - I bought mine from Value Basket, advertised as an EU version but the IMIE is for a Singapore carrier and because of that I can't unlock the bootloader, hence I'm stuck with a fantastic phone with good, but not brilliant firmware and no way to flash my favourite CFW's.

Easy there! That's not how things work around here. Also, it's not that developers wouldn't try. People worked on it and may still be working on a solution. Maybe, next time you buy a new phone, make sure you don't spend hundreds of dollars on a device you can't unlock or where it's uncertain whether it'll be unlockable or not. After all, you're a "flashaholic".
Shameful post(op)

I feel your frustration, though (misguided), you need to read a bit about unlocking the bootloader for many of the G4 models.
You are not the only one that feels as you do. You certainly do not need to be rude about your frustration, furthermore blaming people on XDA is wrong. XDA users had nothing to do with locking the bootloader.
BTW you are correct there is a donation thread somewhere.Why not learn how to develop and be the one that could do what no other could:good:
There are enough rant threads already out there, no need to keep this afloat.
PS thanks for being a member of XDA and I look forward to your development

No need to see into the future. You just need to think harder. LG is known for locking down devices. Why bother with the risk of ending up with a locked down device? Besides, I'm not dragging you anywhere. You just like the feeling of being the victim. Get a grip already!

Well the root works really well, though you have to be using L. Even xposed works with flash fire, so really its not a big deal. If they at least root M I will be even happier.
Of course unlocked bootloader would be ideal but I am happy with root.

Why do you assume I don't know about custom roms? I do know a lot and tried many of them on different devices. Some are great some are buggy.
Truth is LG rom is very stable and with root, exposed, launcher I can get it very close to pure android experience. So root is still very important.
Don't get me wrong, I still want an unlcoked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader will extend the life of the device.
