I need some help downgrading/rooting my LG G4.

Hello amigos, just to clarify i'm new to XDA so lets get to it then shall we!
So I bought this LG G4 from a guy on eBay, and it basically just arrived today. So the weird thing about the device is, It has a Anti-Rollback Version 4. Ive personally never seen this especially in the UK. Isn't it just the US that's supposed to be effected by these issues???
Is there any way of getting around this or what ever?
Its on Android 6.0 and its the H815 variant, I've tried booting into the boot-loader and that doesn't work (Yes I've used ADB but that didn't work either I also used recovery which for some reason I can access but not the boot-loader ) This is the main issue. There is also something else that doesn't make any sense. The device has an update from LG, It downloads perfectly fine but when it goes to flash the update it just doesn't flash. It comes up with an error. That's all it says in the recovery, error. Yeah that's about it really. The phone works perfectly fine on 6.0 but I just wanted to see if one of the greight minds here could assist me with this issue or just upfront call me stupid for wasting my money on an old phone :laugh:.

Which H815 variant is it?
EU, USA, TR, Int'l?

It looks to be the EU version to me. I cant be too sure though. Its running on the OPEN EU firmware though. (H81520D)

Yes the model number is LG-H815. It doesn't say if its EU or INT or what ever.
Is this unusual?

H81520D is the software version

you need to unlock the bootloader before accessing it first.
this is the only official way for so.

If I may ask to better assist you, what do you plan on doing exactly?

Firstly I plan on rooting and adding TWRP as I did on my old G3. I tried to use LG's method but it did not allow me to fastboot. When I used ADB it just well, restarted the phone. I used the command adb restart bootloader as it states on the unlocking site. I used administrative permissions. Whats unsual is, I can use adb restart recovery perfectly fine to get to the stock recovery.

The confusing thing for me is, the device has the antirollback version 4
Its the EU version of the H815. It makes no sense!!!!
I'm trying to figure out what could have caused this to happen mainly... The only version with antirollback version 4 is the LS991 ZVF... How is this even been done to this thing!? Its running on the H81520D firmware which 0 of them have the antirollback version 4 that i'm aware of. The bootloader is mysteriously inaccessible by anything I do! This is really bugging me now. Could this be a franken device?

Before proceeding further, check whether your device has SN 404 or other. It is found by removing your battery or checking on the box labels.

To begin with, I rooted mine by downgrading to LP stock rom as rooting MM is not quite easy using this link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-downgrade-g4-h815-t3264864
Then I had FIsH twrp installed cause I couldn't unlock my BL using : https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048

Secondly, yours has ARB v4. So there are some hardwork involved in finding a kdz that won't brick your G4 on flashing. As you say it is very much confusing. So do proceed ahead only after properly checking your informations and cross examining carefully.

Many people are saying the H81520P KDZ file will work for me, apparently once I install it onto the device downgrading is pretty simple.
As for FIsH, eh... I cant figure it out at all. I was so confused by looking at the page for it, I was like eh...
EDIT: Every time I try to upload the KDZ to the device I get this. https://www.leonf.elhs.co/images/LGUP_05-01-18_11-50AM.png

What happens is, follow the instructions on that LGUP thread that you sent me, I put the kdz in and restart lgup and then its on refurbish. I click start and the antirollback error appears on any KDZ I use apart from the H81520p_00_0314 which kicks out a Flash Fail error. Oh and thanks for helping me with this!

Downgrade to emui 5

I got a Huawei mate se and didn't realize that allowing it to update to Android o would block the bootloader unlock tool. Is there anyway to downgrade my firmware so I can unlock my bootloader?

There is a roll-back ROM on firmware finder. As long as it shows your IMEI as approoved, it should install.
That's the nice clean way.
There is a dirty ( possibly dangerous way ) by using the nougat service ROM. That ROM is for bnd-L21, so not sure how an unlocked bootloader will handle it. It has worked on unlocked before.

You are not on 8.1, the app can work.
But I was only referencing the app for the guides linked inside.
You should be able to use it to flash b330. Which should work in DC

My bad I am on 8.0 to be specific bnd-l34 8.0.0.341(c567) and as much as I've tried I can not get it to work on the phone following along on the videos. They are using the app on emui 5.0 not 8.0. It doesn't work anymore on 8.0

All there videos revolve around emui 5.0 or lower. It stopped working with 8.0

Because the locked bootloader, you can only use the firmwares that are approoved.
Chances are , the only one that's approoved is the b330
And if not , then only option is the service-rom. Followed by dc-unlock, then the hwota and correct ROM
It has been done.
There should be confirmation back in the mate thread somewhere.

This post you made here sounds doable.
This service rom so far has been only thing we found that will load with three button method (dload)
But it is not a full rom to keep on device. It needs you to follow up with flashing fullOTA of your correct version after.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...83647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.
Enlighten me what is huru or hwota? If I were to flash this does it boot up into android or is it non functional?

Yes, this should leave you able to boot. And with build level that should allow DC unlocked to give you the code.
Remember like I said before this is kind of a dirty way around and 'could' have issues unknown. Like what if DC does not give you a code, you would then be stuck . (Though you are stuck now)
Huru and hwota are very similar. They both use TWRP to give custom flashing control.
Hwota uses modified stock recovery to flash full ota files.
Huru repacks full ota files so that TWRP can flash them.
Since doth start with TWRP , bootloader unlock is needed.

Just spent most of the morning going back and forth with someone else with mate see, and they just did restored his device with the service ROM.
I do not now what he was restoring from, but he ended up with "unknown model" and default build number of 8.0.0.46
This is because of (probably) some data corrupt issue making the flash go bad. But he was able to run the ROM and unlock boooader.
Difference is he already had his unlock code.

Have you seen this guide?
It is for "official" hisuite roll-back
I have not rolled back so do not know it it works though.(I checked with my device, it shows no downgrade available)
I know the roll-back firmwarm listed on firmware finder was listed as "bond" and not "bnd". So this means not available "officially"

[GUIDE]How to fix P20 Lite that is not booting+How to unlock P20 Lite bootloader FREE

So you tried to install something that broke your filesystem,or just bad luck .We can fix that.
Requirements:
-a working brain
-1 hour of your life(depends on internet speed)
-sd card or usb with otg
-computer
So first we must download the firmware that we will use.
This is for ANE-LX1:
https://androidhost.ru/SVv
-after you downloaded,unarchive the file and inside the fresh folder you should see a Software folder.
-open it and copy the dload folder on your sdcard.
-now put the sdcard in your phone.
-now press power button+volume up+volume down,all at the same time.
-if your phone shows the emui logo and under it says "Verifying update package"then you are good to go.
-wait for it to finish and enjoy your phone again.
Now on the free bootloader unlock part.I do not own nor discovered this exploit and all the credits are due to the guys in the linked thread.
-downgrade to this version using the same method as above: https://androidhost.ru/5NX
-use this guide next(you are on the right patch so go straight to the important stuff):https://t.me/huaweihax
Hope i helped you.

Is there a way to do it with ANE-LX3 (compilation 8.0.0.156(C25))?

I just said it does not, and i don't have that specific model.

Does Free unlocking still work? I have a P20 lite working on emui 9. I'd like to have root access so if it is still working I will buy an SD card.

anything for LX3C521

i have the p20 lite model ANE-LX3, (c69), can i install other firmware of other model lixe ANE-LX1(C435) Etc etc?

Brand new EVR-AL00 which version should I be on?

Hey All,
Thanks in advance for any help.
I just received the AL00 and ran the update which gave me EMUI 9.0.0.200.
I thought for sure we were already at 9.1 something.
I just want to make sure that via OTA updates I should only be on 9.0.0.200 or am I missing something and should be on a newer version of EMUI.
Thanks again everyone.

I bought AL00 a few months ago, but late enough not to be able to unlock it, and I still did not get any update above 9.0.0.200 :/

Thanks for the input...much appreciated. Are we ever going to get 9.1 you think?

( if the phone model is EVR-AL00 ) please change the Region settings as china in both app-gallery and Hi-Care and try to update via Hi-care
it will update to 9.1 it worked for me... good luck

Thanks so much, that worked. The only problem now is that the update is showing in system and when I go to update the 9.1 is there but it's greyed out and won't let me select it ?

If you're not able to to update via HiCare, you can try the dload method in this post. Select the AL00 link.

I will certainly give that a try...do I need to unzip the DL first? Thanks again in advance for all your help, I appreciate very much.

Yes. Unzip it. Then open up the "Software" folder and copy the entire dload folder to the root of your SD card/USB OTG. After that turn off your phone. Then power it back on by holding all the 3 buttons until you see the Software Update screen pop up.

You are a ROCKSTAR!...worked like a charm, thanks so much for your help.

Please note that by using this firmware and update method, OTA updates will be disabled and you won't be able to check for updates via HiCare & System. The only way to further update will be to manually download the newest firmware and use the HSTool/HiSuite patch methods.
This is because:
1. These firmwares are signed with EVR-LGRP1-CHN version which will eventually display as EVR-AL00 after install. Because of the difference in versions, HiCare can't check for updates via OTA
2. Since the only way to install the firmware on locked bootloaders is to alter the PC host file, this means that Huawei's cloud server does not recognise this ffw version and thus needs to be bypassed, which means that further updates will need to use the bypass method.

Thanks Yogi...I think I want the recovery version though. Thanks for your help anyways.

Thanks again Zephels, I appreciate all your help. Any chance that there is a recovery version of 131 yet and if not, does that upgrade I did make it possible for OTA or HiCare?

I'm not able to source the firmware as of yet, but it is possible to check for OTA since you have the official firmware.

Android 10 Has Begun Rolling Out For The Moto One Vision In Brazil!

This time it's the real deal and not a beta/mfn version.
The update comes bundled with the January 2020 Security Patch and has the build number QSA30.62-24
As usual, the update is rolling out in batches... As by far, only users of the first batch of devices have received the OTA update.
The other batches (02/2019 and so on...) are still waiting in line.
My phone's batch is 06/2019... So I'll have to wait a little more
EDIT: As Of Today, January 13 2020, the OTA update, versioned QSA30.62-24 is out for All Users of the Motorola One Vision In Brazil using the Retail Software Channel (RETBR).
I just updated my phone and did a hard reset to start clean.

how do you know which batch is your phone?

Look at the decal on the side of the box, which shows the IMEI numbers... Below there is a text saying "Date:" -- The following number after "Date" is your phone's batch number.

Is it not possible now to somehow download it an apply it yourself manually for your phone?

It is, but someone would have to capture the OTA Zip file first and upload it on the web.
Hope someone here does

I have downloaded it. But Am afraid of doing something wrong and bricking my phone.
As this is an original image I presume I can flash it without unlocking the boot loader right?

From Lolinet's mirror. However I tried opening it in RSD Lite. No Go. Gives an error.
Image seems to be corrupt. Luckily I didn't do anything to my phone.

Did you try redownloading it? Would you be able to send the mirror link as I couldn't get the website to even find an update for me

Yes I downloaded it a second time. Both times RSD gave an error.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/kane/official/RETBR/ -- Mirror Link
Its the last file there.
But I do advise caution.

If the file were fine because I have the xt1970-3 will that cause any issues? I don't wanna flash it if it kills my device, even if I can return it

Do not try flashing this. It WILL brick your phone!

Alright thanks, how long do you reckon it'll take before the XT1970-3 will get the update anywhere so it could be flashed?

That's wrong. I've flashed retbr and retin to my xt1970-3 without problems.
Bootloader unlocked though.
Now I've just updated to A10 and I can say that I got it rooted with same method as on pie, so twrp and magisk still works.

Did you download it with the link that was mentioned above?, what actually is the difference between the -1 and the -3 models of motorola one vision? And what method did you use to install it?
