Hi guys ☺,
I bought today G4 eu model,it came with Marshmallow 6.0 V20d version.
I want to root it because of Greenify and Xposed,to increase the battery time,maybe later to flash some rom but...
There is a lot of topics on this subject,I started to read but I'm lost right now...as far as I saw,I can't root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader,only Lollipop,right?
Is it a big trouble to go back from MM to LP?
I'm not new in this flashing and rooting stuff,I had (still have) a Motorola Razr XT910,I flashed it 100 times for sure for 3.5 years but I didn't had to unlock the bootloader (it's impossible anyway) and there's a custom recovery Safestrap,modified Twrp which allows to flash and use 6 different roms,from JB to MM,without changing the kernel...
I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction,to give me some useful links etc.
And is there some list which procesess are safe to freeze with TB and which ones I can greenify?
Oh,and the bloatware too...
Sorry if I'm demanding but I want to bring out the best from this phone
Thank you in advance

Hi,
root without unlocking bootloader works only on lollipop, right. Not sure if u can downgrade, but when, u will use "LGUP" tool with the "H81510D.kdz" file. Maybe there exists a pre-rooted kdz to flash.
If u want to root android 6, u need a unlocked bootloader. Rooted Android 5.1.1 or unlock bootloader with rooted android 6.x.x
Ok,I successfully unlocked the bootloader but now I'm stuck with rooting and installing Twrp...
I've downloaded BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247 and TWRP-3.0.0.0-H815+ but there's a lot of metods,which one should I use?
Flash SuperSu+Twrp with stock recovery?
Install Twrp with adb command and then flash SuperSu with Twrp?
Install both with adb command?
I also saw somewhere that I must flash some other kernel that is already rooted...
I just need root and the Xposed for now,help me guys!
Im also Confused..Where can i find rooted kernel?
I already did this Method u said...But I got Boot Loop
Then I revover my phone with Lg Bridge
We need to find this.....I also Had Android MM with V20d

In my case I wasn't able to flash recovery on the stock kernel, I had to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX and only then I was able to flash recovery and full kernel through it.

the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)

I didn't know i could flash something other than .zip files with twrp.
As for viper4android i tried normal way, flashed it with twrp, flashed extreme music mod with v4a fix. None seem to work. The drivers never get installed.
Xposed i haven't tried. I was in process of getting more information about it by reading various threads. But all seem to point to problems like bootloop, fc and Bluetooth issues. Can you guide me towards the best version of xposed for v20d with way to avoid problems or with as less problems as possible?

Here is the official Xposed thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Download xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip and flash it with Twrp.
Download XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and install it.
And just in case if you have a bootloop,download xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip.
I haven't had any problems

Flash Imperium Kernel or SimpleGX Kernel. I used their kernels and ROMS on my older phones, they are legend. I suggest you to flash Imperium Rom. It includes kernel and everything and it is updated regularly by its dev.

FINALLY Root My H815 Android 6.0 V20d
Hi to all!
As you have you bootloader unlocked, you can root your h815 M6 V20d with this method.
I was looking for days, and today i found this http://www.tuttoapp-android.com/root-lg-g4-h815-e-installazione-recovery-18188/
and now my g4 is rooted
Good luck!
p.s. Firstly convert the language from italian to english or ever you want

I think doesn't need to install recovery to root the phone.
Just this:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot boot TWRP-2-8.7.0-h815.img
Wait a second and it will open, on the phone, the recovery.
Once open go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and take a swipe to start it where it says "Swipe to Start sideload".
Now on the PC write
3) adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
( If it says after the instalation to install supersu etc just abort it)
And then, when installation is complete, press "Reboot System"
I rooted it this way, without install TWRP Recovery

Yeah - but the question has to be asked - why unlock the bootloader and root and not install TWRP? If you've got as far as unlocking the bootloader you might as well make life easier for yourself and install TWRP - that way anything you want to flash in the future can be done without being tethered to the PC, and also allows you to take proper full system image backups etc.

Of course , i agree with you. By the way, we can't root g4 on m6 without unlocked bootloader.
And finally, i decided to pass twrp on my phone, for every file i want to install from twrp, and not every time to boot from pc
You're right
p.s. the first thing i did after twrp installed, was to install g5 live wallpapers
I need some help guys!
My N5X bootloader relocks itself after rebooting.
EDIT #1:
I have TWRP and a custom kernal installed, but my bootloader is locked.

Your problem seems to be the same as in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/unlock-bootloader-n5x-t3290923/page6

But root works whit phh's, installed busybox, root checker apps shows that root is working.
Did full backup whit Flashfire it makes full restore zip which can be used whit fastboot.
Maybe I will not sell this phone..

so flash stock rom whit fastboot whit ph's kernel, don't need stock kernel, after that download ph's app, check if root is working (needs ph's app from playstore, to check if root is working download root checker app), download busybox, set to permissive and flashfire should work, after that you can flash stock rom whit franco kernel and select in flhasfire that it needs to be rooted, after that you should have stock rom whit superuser.
For now I am using stock rom whit superuser and everything works (also otas works perfectly, even updates radio and bootloader, don't need fastboot for that)
Even twrp works but twrp works when it is written from twrp app which is in playstore :good:

If i understand correctly, iam now downgrading my firmware? I have never done this before cuz of the fact that iam quite new to nexus5x ( used a galaxy nexus before this one). Do i have to unlock the bootloader over and over after each step? And when do i have to flash the kernel?

also had galaxy nexus :good:
about the downgrade, there isn't newer kernel from phh's website, so thats why you need to downgrade
it needs radio and bootloader from that factory zip (it should boot whit out those two) but I still prefer to flash it, so you will need to do:
fastboot unlock
fastboot flash radio radio.img
reboot the device
again:
fastboot unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
reboot the device
and for last time
fastboot unlock
and flash all the files, don't need to reboot every time, type one command at the line
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
oh and don't forget vendor!: fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
and kernel from ph:
fastboot flash boot boot-bullhead-NRD90S-su-nocrypt-r265.img
finally boot to the system :good: I guess you should know how to use fastboot, if not google it

I really want to use Android Pay but I'm not able to unless I have a locked bootloader. But then I will also lose root in the process. Anytime I reflash TWRP then lock the bootloader, it will just bootloop. Can someone help me please?
To use android pay you can flash magisk. AP should works fine with unlocked bootloader and root.

How does that work though? Does it trick AP into thinking that the bootloader is locked or...
I can't check if Android Pay works because my country does not support it, but it should work because my device passes SafetyNet with unlocked bootloader.
First you need an unrooted rom with franco kernel, because franco kernel hides the unlocked bootloader from SafetyNet.
2. Install Rootswitch and reboot into TWRP.
3. Install SuperSU in systemless mode.
4. Reboot into Android and disable root in the Rootswitch App.
5. Android Pay should work now.

I still get the "cant be used on this device error" even after following these instructions. I'm starting to wonder if root is even worth it.
This is for a friend, so I wanted to confirm the process to update to 7.1.1 with an unlocked bootloader on a brand new phone.
1. On 7.1, use depixel8 to unlock bootloader.
2. Take OTA to 7.1.1
3. Perform root on 7.1.1 using TWRP/SuperSU method
Is that all there is to it? Also, is there a method that doesn't require changing the recovery for root or is that it?
Thanks in advance

That's it. Remember that the unlock will wipe user data. You don't need permanent TWRP.
Copy TWRP RC1 to your fastboot folder. Then copy SU 2.79 SR2 to your phone. Then fastboot BOOT twrpfilename.img. That boots you to temp TWRP. Install su from TWRP. Reboot rooted and without TWRP.

Copy TWRP RC1 to your fastboot folder. Then copy SU 2.79 SR2 to your phone. Then fastboot BOOT twrpfilename.img. That boots you to temp TWRP. Install su from TWRP. Reboot rooted and without TWRP.

Awesome, thank you for quick reply and for answering all of my questions!
Hi,
With the new version of Magisk v14.0, it seems that neither root neither custom recovery are necessary!
So if I just unlock the bootloader and install Magisk, my device should reveice the OTA right?
Anyone tried and succeeded?
I'm currently using PureNexus, but i'd prefer to go back on stock with OTA. (and edit /etc/host with magisk)
Thanks
You should install stock recovery if you want to get OTA . If you're rooted, you will lose root and need to flash Magisk again (with nexus root toolkit).
Locked or unlocked bootloader, it not affect the updating process. The custom recovery will not flash OTAs . Flash fire is the solution if you have custom recovery . Bootloader and radio can only flash with fastboot. But lately with the latest updates on flash fire, it reboot and screen stay black and need to perform force reboot.
What I wanted to do:
1 - Factory reset (I received my 5x yesterday, no data to backup)
2 - Revert to stock (stock rom + stock recovery)
3 - Install Magisk Manager
4 - Patch stock boot image in Magisk Manager
5 - Flash the patched boot image
After these few steps, I should have a stock rom with magisk.
When OTA is available, I have to restore stock boot image, then apply the OTA, and finally perform steps 3 to 5 right?

I find this easier/faster:
1. stock rom + stock recovery
2. "fastboot boot twrp.img" (boots TWRP without flashing it)
3. install magisk from TWRP
When OTA cames in, I just apply it and then repeat steps 2 and 3

Ok, thanks for the tips.
It's easier sure, but it works only if you have a computer near to you

Well, unless I missed something, in your steps you need computer to flash patched boot.img as well.. You have to have a stock recovery for OTA, you can't flash it via TWRP.

How did you suceed to boot twrp with locked bootloader? I'm trying to make as you wrote, but when I try it fails:
downloading 'boot . img'...
OKAY [ 0.429s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unlock device to use this command)
I neither want to unlock my bootloader.
You can't use fastboot commands with locked bootloader, the only way is to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking bootloader on Nexus 5x is also a "safety" preparation for a future HW bootloop, you might be able to use one of the existing (temporary) fixes to boot the phone with problematic CPU cores disabled.

As long as you keep stock recovery and unmodified system, you can apply OTA. It doesn't check bootloader status or systemless modifications (Magisk, Supersu,..). Just please keep in mind that bootloader unlocking will wipe all your data.
Here is a guide how to install the OTA without computer and keep magisk:

I am not able to install any custom Kernel to my phone, if i install it wont boot up. Then i need to repatch the Patched boot image. Is there any soluction for this? I got any update to 8.1.0. Is it possible to update without any problem?
