I have a LG Nitro P930 that just will not run any of the newer version firmware without random reboots,etc. I have long since switched to a different phone but I want to get this one running stable so I can give it to a friend who can't afford a new phone right now and they broke their old phone.
I've been looking for the V10J gingerbread kdz so I can flash my Nitro back to gingerbread. I know that worse case if I can't find it I can use the V10F kdz file that is referenced in the unbrick guide but wanted to give them the official AT&T version firmware if possible. I can't find a working download link to get it.

Thanks for trying.
Unfortunately my phone isn't stable with any ICS rom, the best I was able to get out of it was maybe only rebooting intermittantly when scrolling thru my wall feed in the facebook app. I tried every rom available. Miroslav's rom was the most stable of the bunch but it still wasn't completely stable enough that I would want to give it to my friend with it installed on it. The most stable one for me was the original V10J firmware that came with it. I was stupid and I let it update itself to the AT&T ICS firmware and it never has worked right since then. If I can get it back to the V10J and figure out how to keep it from ever trying to update again that should make it usable. It never rebooted, froze, or hung up a single time while it had the Gingerbread stock firmware on it.

I don't need the latest firmware, would this method work to get me a download link for the V10J firmware version? I want to revert this model back to the last released version of Gingerbread as this version was stable and didn't suffer from the constant rebooting issues.
Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying an LG G4 because it's gotten very cheap now and I want to use it as my daily driver.
I'll be getting the international version and I want to root my phone before properly setting it up. The reason for this is that I want xposed to make some ui changes as I feel the G4's ui is horrible (no offence). I've heard I'll need a custom kernel, twrp recovery, unlocked bootloader and root access.
I've also heard that with custom roms you lose functionality to things such as the IR blaster and the amazing camera app and all its settings. Is that true? If that is the case, I'd rather keep on stock rom with xposed helping me make the UI bearable.
My question is what would I exactly need to do? (with kernels, recovery, bootloaders etc I have only rooted a device once and it was 4 years ago so I have forgotten the basics plus it seems the whole process has become very tough now) The only end product I want is to run the xposed while retaining the IR blaster functionality and the camera app etc.
I have tried going through some videos on youtube but I found them vague, a little different from what I wanted or I saw a few comments talking about how the phone was bricked or stuck in bootloop.

Hi buddy , if your phone comes and it's on lollipop the type in Google " root lg g4 lollipop xda " but if it arrives on marshmallow then type " root lg g4 marshmallow xda " as for losing functions like the IR blaster and camera , I'm using latest Genisys ROM marshmallow version with the Imperium kernel and I have all my features still working they will only stop working if you flash a ROM which isn't based on LG for example Cyanogen or blisspop things like that....
If I have helped please leave a thumbs up!

Hi, thanks for the reply! How is the performance compared to the stock rom? What other benefits does a g4 based rom give?
Also, I still find the process a little confusing. Am I supposed to root first, unlock bootloader or install a recovery. Also what are the chances of bricking my phone?

Well first of all the performance depends there are options when installing different kernels which will give you better speed or better battery life the choices will be written in the kernel or ROMs description , the other benefits are debloated ROMs which means the software on the phone has been reduced to free up space and get rid of useless stuff and other little UI tweaks it just depends which ROM you choose as for the process you unlock your bootloader first via lg devs official site then depending on how you root will depend when you root it I'll explain , if your phone arrives and its on lollipop then use low effort root but if it comes and its on marshmallow then you use systemless root method and I won't bull**** ya pal the chances of messing your phone up is about 30 percent just make sure you follow every single step very carefully , the reason I said 30 percent is because if you're on lollipop then it's easier in my opinion to restore your phone by flashing the .kdz stock file for your phone ( the .kdz will make your phone like you bought it)

What are the advantages of the rom that you're using?
30 percent sounds like a lot, but are you saying that I can restore my phone even if I mess up the process?
Also can you link me to the methods?
The advantages of the ROM I'm using is good battery life with a good balanced performance also it has the LG G5 apps built in to it , and yes you can restore your phone as for the links to the methods I'm chatting to you on my tablet so gathering all the links would be quite hard they are easily found though for example if you are searching for low effort root then just type it in Google followed by xda so it looks like low effort root method xda , if you really want the links then I'll boot up my PC in the morning and I'll find them all for you , it's night time where I am so I'm going to bed soon I'll check your post though in the morning in case you have any more questions and as always please leave a thumbs up I greatly appreciate it , thanks buddy....

No problem mate, I found the link to the low effort btw.
So I'll have to unlock bootloader via the lg website first? then I'll have to install a custom recovery and then root? (or root and then install custom recovery?)
Also I was going through the thread of the rom you're using, and I saw the screenshots and they were pretty much the same as the lg ui (which I'm trying to run away from). Basically what I want is a stock android ui without losing the core functionality like the IR blaster and the camera app, knock code etc.
A question I have is do I have to change the kernel etc while rooting my device or can I just use the stock kernel?
I just did all of these things this morning. I posted my steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
I personally stopped installing custom ROMs since Xposed. It lets use keep the phone as it is out of the box but add in just the changes we want. With many custom ROMs, there are always bugs so you'll have to update them and that can mean resetting your device. You then have to install all your apps and settings again.
I tried to make the above guide as noob friendly as possible and it hopefully shouldn't require any reading outside of the thread.
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. Read the TWRP-in-FiSH OP fully before you go off half-cocked and hard brick your phone. Your bootloader will still be locked and that prevents flashing a ROM with it.

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.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

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.

Root my LG G4 H81220x

That is essentially correct. You must downgrade to 5.1 first. Follow the instructions in: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586 (if you use a pre-rooted system image you can skip down to Step 3).
Use the command for the H812 under the Command to Flash System.img (All Variants): at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62028523&postcount=2
You can also check out steadasterX's thread [Bootloader UNLOCK][LS991|H81x|VS986|F500] Unofficial unlock -> PoC (**STOPPED**) at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...proof-t3648288 and in particular, post # 66 and post # 122.

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 think if you flash just one and not try others you are short changing yourself. At that point you may has well not even unlocked your phone, stay full stock.
Looking to flash just one Rom is like just trying one flavor of ice cream and then deciding all other flavors are not worthy. Do not let someone tell you what is best, try as many as you can, then you tell yourself which is best for you. Each has its own advantages and each has it own flaws only you can say which you like best. As for the word Stable, they are all about the same... Some are more out of date but that does not effect its stability. Try them all and have fun.

NEVER try to downgrade => permanently bricked phone.
ie if you're on nougat, DON'T try to go back to MM.

I have heard it both ways - bricked on MM or bricked on return to N. It's your phone. Just realize the chance you are taking.

Remember, with these TWRPs when you boot to it, the screen seems locked at menu so just tap pwr button and tap again and slide to unlock and you're good to go.
Scroll down Backup screen to see box for EFS.
There's also an app that backs up EFS (root I think).
For root I believe all I did was flash majisk 1530 zip in TWRP. -
To do that: flash ROM, flash gapps, install, then reboot to TWRP and flash 1530.

Oh I see 1531 is out, so try that.
1530 or 1531 will auto install magisk mgr so you don't have to do anything. root plus safetynet. Works fine for me. I'll be back in a bit.

good night, I'm using several ROMs and testing on my zplay bike, the problems I'm encountering I've flagged. if I answered with the problems is because I liked the ROM, because the other ROMs that I did not like, nor signaled any mistakes. today I am in the last version of 8.1 AOSP, tomorrow I will quote bugs.

This should help. don't forget to use the patcher in the code at the top if you haven't already or you won't be able to restore stock backups.

Hello i have a question same as in the title, is it possible? i don't want to lose warranty or anything and i want to downgrade my device from Pie 10.0.4.0 to Oreo 9.6.11.0 without unlocking bootloader
I want to downgrade because i see many bugs after updating to Pie, and i think my battery health is worse than in older software ( i got after 5 hours of SoT 38% in the same day when he was 100% just using facebook, messenger and snapchat)
anyone? please... i don't want to lose warranty...
I don't think it's possible, I readed somewhere that there is an anti-rollback protection, so you need to unlock for downgrading.

Hello SadToni,
1st Remember One Thing. Downgrade Is Not A Easy Task, Downgrading Has Also A SIM Issue, But If You Still Want To Downgrade Your Device From Pie 10.0.4.0 To Oreo 9.6.11.0 You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Stock Oreo 9.6.11.0 And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool. After Successfully Ported The Stock Oreo 9.6.11.0 Rom You Can Close The Boot-Loader. Your Mobile Become As A Factory Condition With Warranty.
All Instructions/Steps Can Be Easily Found On A2 Lite Forum.
Have A Nice Day.
Thanks,
MUHAMMAD Asif Qasim
Great response Muhammad Asif, based on your experience, do you know if there is a fix for sim issue for everything to return and work just like stock Oreo?
Hi*cfn_2000,
Hope You Are Doing Good And Thanks For The +Ve Reply.
Yes, I Remember That. I Read On Forum SIM Issue Problem Has Been Fixed After Downgrade .
But I Suggest You Double Check And Read Each An Every Steps Two Times Before Downgrade.
Brother Why Don't You Stay On Pie ? As Pie Is Good With Minor Issues And I Am Constantly Seeing That، They Are Fixing Reported Issues In Every Month Update.

Thanks again Muhammad Asif. The lack of good audio recording from ACR on Android Pie was sadly the deal breaker for me

Try this one: https://fossdroid.com/a/call-recorder.html
Don't go back to Oreo dude, it's not worth it. And SIM solution may work or, in my case, may not. I reprogrammed all via QFIL because flashing numerous modem.img only, typing commands in ADB, flashing ROMs again and again was for nothing as I wanted my full network speed with BT on, Loc on, and everything on without messing with my router and not-swapped two working SIMs with data. If your device is working fine just leave it with Pie.

Thanks for your advice, if it is not worth all the hassle then I won't bother and stay on Pie.
