good day/evening XDA community,
I have a question about the LG G4 US991 variant.
Is it the same in terms of development, modding, rooting etc.?
Can you guys shed some light as to what is the major difference compared to the H815?
Can the H815 developments, rooting, modding etc. work on the US991
thanks in advance guys...
*bump* i am wanting to put cyanogenmod on my LG G4 US991 (US Cellular variant bought unlocked at Best Buy for use on TMobile network which works just fine) but also cant find any info over the H815. Help?

If you are still on Lollipop, it can be rooted with Low Effort root and you can install Xposed through Flashify. That's it, since there's no bootloader unlock. If you're on Marshmallow, you can't root.

I'd swap out your US991 for a T-Mobile H811 (which comes with an unlockable bootloader out of the box). You can only unlock the bootloader on International (non-US) H815s and the T-Mobile H811.
Hey ecaslak, I accept that deal. I have a two weeks old g4 US991 and I happily swap with yours.

If your bootloader is lock, you can't root it.
If your bootloader is unlock (your model can be unlocked) is easy and there is information about this in this Forum, just search it.

Moderator close this thread pls.!
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

First and foremost: these questions have all been asked and answered in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
Use the search bar in that thread for any other general ones you might have.
Yes - Virgin is on the Bell network. If you want to step up your gain with the G4 H812 - see steadfasterX's thread:
[UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU
You can now unofficially unlock your LG G4 bootloader, install TWRP, root, AND flash selected H811 custom roms on the H812 following the process he outlines. Recommend you seriously consider it.
If you haven't carrier unlocked your phone: as of Dec. 1 2017, Canadian carriers cannot charge for it. Recommend you do it.

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.

Site is up now: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h812-firmwares/
Just tried it. They changed their URL.
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 ...

That's the thing i googled everywhere and found nothing well I'll try and find it
UPDATE: i just looked at the lg g4 h812 thread and it's closed
I know you'll be wondering weather this tool can unlock the G4 bootloader(even the H818 variant) . Well the answer is "YES", It's a test so I'll need some devices on which i can test on it.
If you have an useless device(LG G4),Broken then only share with me. I don't want your fine device to be bricked. If you have an International model(H815) then only send me or if you have H818 variant (only Europe) then only share with me this. Other models can be unlocked check on the development section of LG G4 this thread is specifically focused on LG G4 H818 variant
i can help you brother, check dm.
