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.
Sent from my unlocked and rooted LG-H815
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.

Thanks for your reply. I was reading almost all threads about rooting the G4, however, haven't yet found anything about rooting version H818. Please let me know if you have any idea about a successful rooting method for H818.
Thanks in advance ,, :good:

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!
Long live XPOSED and G3 (G4) Tweaksbox!
Hi everyone, hope you're having an amazing day!
I was wondering if there is a root available for the SM-N910V running 5.0.1. I've looked on google, and there are lots of yes, and no answers. Could someone help clear this up for me?
Thanks!
There is not a root available for the retail edition of the Verizon note 4 on 5.0.1.

Dont search for root, root method is already there for developers edition, so the fact that ROOT IS ALREADY THERE is 100% true.
What you need to search for is either "unlock bootloader" or "rooted firmware" or "rooted kernel" or something else.
Not much so far.
Just make sure when u search google, click search tools and select more recent results. That way u dont end up finding most popular pages that are many many months old.

Actually, requesting root for 5.0.1 in this forum is quite appropriate and very different from unlocked bootloaders, rooted firmware or rooted kernel. In fact, installing a new kernel or rom usually requires an unlocked bootloader and getting that done usually requires a root method first so there's some chance of writing a new recovery. With root, methods such as what is now known as SafeStrap (the result of a technique discovered by Birdman, matured by myself and then claimed by another person who's made a habit of claiming others' work as his own) can allow for quite a bit of customization, but typically not so much as a new kernel, let alone different ROMs.
Right now, the state of the Note 4 is that only the Dev Edition (DE) has much of anything going on. You'll find all sorts of frustrating and unclear information about KingRoot, but it's of almost no use unless you think you can abuse it to search for a more complete and permanent root method, but if you knew how to do such a thing, I doubt you'd be here asking for root If you see ROMs or anything else advanced in this forum that doesn't specify it's only for the DE, assume it is.
I've been around since the days of CupCake (and built WiMo roms previously, along with some of the earliest ROMs and rooting) and based on experience, I'd say that the only chance left seeing root on the retail Note 4 is if another root method (new as of today/2015-12-28) is discovered elsewhere that applies to 5.x/5.0.1 OR the Note 4 sees another OTA and we get really lucky (unlikely).
exactly why am returning it and getting S5. But even with S5 its unclear if towelroot will work or not.
I assume it will if S5 was not updated to 5.0+ but runs older 4.4.4. Is this correct assumption ?
Thanks for informative reply.

Yes but I would do some reading in the Verizon s5 forum because there is a build cutoff for root on the s5. If you're getting a new s5 from Verizon the chances are low you will get one without the latest build at this point

Whatever you do don't take any OTA updates, some are forced so get it rooted asap and then use the pre-rooted lollipop images
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.
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.

That is essentially correct. You must downgrade to 5.1 first.

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.
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).

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.
Guides will be published shortly

He's already shown that it's possible, give them time to develop the steps/guide to do it. Don't ask for ETAs, basic XDA rule.
Hi guys! Please be patient as there were some bricked devices.
All korean V50 can have this and also some G8.
If you dont have patience, join telegram group V50 and ask for help from Vlad48 aka VL48. White user also has the knowledge and also contributed a lot to this, but he doesnt speak english that good and you may get confused in doing things that will brick your phone.
I'm waiting to make an ALL IN ONE guide with everything in that ADB folder so that we will donwload just one file.
Almost all bricked devices so far were because of WRONG file placement inside adb folder if you believe it ...
That's no worries, not wanting an ETA.
Sorry, went off on a tangent there earlier due to overwork and night shift.
As I said, here in Oz we've been stranded with Android 9, security update is for Oct 19, with no Android 10 release in sight and only excuses and buck passing from LG.
Do we know if this will allow Android 9 to be rooted and, finally, be updated to the latest OS?
Cheers guys...

Yeah, there may be an issue there... You can only use temp root on Android 10. Specifically what phone model (carrier/region that the phone is from) do you have? I don't mean your current carrier necessarily, just the branding of your model.

It's the LM-V500EM, like Europe, however, it is distributed exclusively through Australia by Telstra.
This means we can't upgrade using another country's firmware but also, as we aren't part of Europe and UK, we can't unlock the bootloader. :crying:
Again, every time LG is asked about newer firmware the finger is pointed at Google.
When Telstra is asked, mostly just the sound of silence but if you do hear whispers it's no firmware has as yet been supplied and to check with the manufacturer of the device.
Google also has the advice Telstra give about the updated firmware which puts LG in the drivers seat and they're still sitting at the bar at the start of happy hour as far as Australia is concerned, and every hour is happy hour..
Hence we need to be able to unlock the bootloader and root to update our expensive and, supposedly flagship device.
You understand the frustration and impatience...

Cant wait for the script
Can't wait for these guides, thank you to all involved!
If I may make a request, perhaps a guide on how to hide root, using Magisk, so that banking apps can still be used?
Thanks again

That's a pretty generic guide; just use magisk hide and the props config module, but lots of modules may break safety net

I see thanks. If a module breaks safety net, does uninstalling that module mean the device passes safety net again? Or is the device just permanently marked as unsafe?

You might have to wipe data for all the Google apps (or possibly even factory reset), but it shouldn't be permanent

Not to sound like a jerk, but I do think it's a valid question... what is the point of creating a thread promising a comprehensive 'All in one guide' to be 'released shortly', and also posting in the other root thread that a guide will be available, and then nearly a month later, there is still no guide? Again, I don't want to sound like a jerk because you're trying to help, but so far, you have just made empty promises and gotten peoples hopes up but not actually provided anything
(again, not trying to sound harsh, just posting as someone who has been keeping an eye on this for a month and now feeling frustrated)
Sorry, dont have time for this, anyone can make a new thread or admin delete this...
Until then, all is available on telegram.
