Hello everyone.
I have bought an LG G4 H815T two years ago and I can't stand the official firmware anymore.
I know loads of threads exist on that subject, so let me explain why my case is slightly different.
I am stuck on software version v10b-GLOBAL_COM : Android 5.1, build number LMY47D.
When I check on the "update" tab, it says it's up-to-date.
When I check with LG Bridge, it says i'm up-to-date.
I asked LG, they won't do anything for me.
If I try to unlock my phone the official way, LG tells me I can't do it because that version (Australian market) can't not be unlocked.
I can't get unlock.bin to work when I reboot the phone in fastboot nor unlock it with ADB.
I saw the thread "unlock any G4 with UsU" but in the requirements it says it needs android 6.0+ or it will hard-brick the phone.
What can I do? My phone is literally not usable, I really need a custom rom.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
SIHS.

I suppose I can, but don't I need an unlocked bootloader to flash that update?
Also, I fear that updating to V20E will make the anti-rollback system over version v2 which would be a problem even for UsU, right?

Don't need unlocked boatloader.
I'm not sure how antiroll back works. I think its number time you upgrade. Don't count on this though steadfaster would know ask usu thread
Yeah.

There is none yet, the bootloader is still locked. There is a tethered recovery, but its not much use for anything other than modifying or flashing mods, if you load a custom kernel the phone will only boot if the phone is connected to the recovery via USB.
Is G4 Recovery is yet?
Waiting too.

Cannot root, or cannot root "yet"?
Hopefully it will. Can't imagine getting a G4 and have it locked down forever!
you guys need to be patient , all goodies will come in a cupple of weeks, that's for sure

agree it will come but the few weeks thingy (for ALL the goodies ) is quite optimistic considering how long it took for the 3 be able to be unlocked which for me is the main goody. from there anything is possible, without too many limitations are enforced IMO.

Colleague, Would you please let us know the steps how to root?

Following your query, I skipped lunch! and compiled a guide for other G4 owners who may need a little advice:

Good luck.
Mine is rooted now. Just waiting for a bright spark to produce a fab de-odexed ROM so I can use G4's hotspot without getting blocked by the ISP !

I'm pretty sure he's not your colleague... And check out the development section for a guide on installing TWRP. FYI It's only for the H815 model.
Which method will root the AS990? When I look at the compatibility list, most of them don't even have the AS990 listed as a variant at all.

It worked, thank you!
Slight necro but, I tried this.. and multiple other variants of it... and I can't seem to get mine to root. It will complete the whole process but it will just stay stock or unrooted. Any ideas?
Hey! I have the LG G3 AS990 running lollipop 5.0.1 and successfully rooted. I used Kingroot. Not Kingoroot. Worked for me in about 1 minutes time.

Yeah I'm on Cspire with the same device. Software runs, then at about 20% it'll close and fail. Are you on 5.0.1 as well?
Hmm...odd...I just downloaded, installed, and ran the app. It did it first time. I have noticed a lot of root methods sometimes have to be ran more than once. And just verifying, I opened the developer options and have usb debugging checked. I'll do all I can to help u man.

Yep...5.0.1

Oh yea...unknown sources is checked also...I'll see what I can find that may be different...
Hmm, shows that it's not supported and it closes at 20% and opens the forum thread on here. Lol

Crazy. I tried stump. Then one click via my laptop. Then this one. My screen on the app was the same. Said not supported. I clicked 'try anyway', and it worked. I don't get it. Unless one of the other root apps did something to let it happen. Confusing.

Once ure twrped u need to make a backup of whole sys on ext sd
Recently purchased this little gem....only to be horrified about finding no info on root capabilities and/or unlockable bootloader..... my phone came with 5.0.1 but i upgraded to 6.0 thinking all would be well...
First off, is there a way to root this device??
Can the bootloader be unlocked like the other G4...or is it already unlocked?
Can I downgrade should the need arise? as in back to 5.0.1
i'm actually really stuck now and I kinda feel like I wasted my £££'s.... I already owned a G4 but this was all I could get my hands on.
Any help would be greatly received.
I had a stylo and i think i used kingo then got su installed im pretty sure there is a guide but not here in g4 section.
Hmmm ive been looking all weekend, I just cant find anything at all
