[Q] Anyone with Xposed working on G4?

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!

5.0.1 root available?

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

Any news on this, here in Oz we've been abandoned by LG to having only Android 9...
Everytime we ask about it LG says it's up to Google to release the update... What a crock since the rest of the world has it, we are the ONLY country yet to get Android 10...
This might give a little love to our forgotten, EXPENSIVE FLAGSHIP...

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...

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.

Noob Question about note 10+ version

Hi everyone hope you're doing excellent I bought a note 10 plus on november last year suddenly I stopped receiving OTA updates this have at&t logos but its unlocked already I work at an airline and I'm not using at&t sim card since I bought the phone and even with my country's sim card I received ota updates.
I was wondering if its possible to flash it to android 10 currently the phone is running android 9 but when I connect it to the pc smart switch says phone is up to date, same happens when I verify software updates from the phone.
Baseband version: N975USQU1ASGO
My questions are:
- Can I flash the phone using any of the android 10 firmwares in the forum? or do I have to make sure it will be compatible with some specific versions?
- If I flash the phone it will it still be unlocked?
thank you.

Don't know.
I would leave it on Pie; stable, fast and well behaved.
Scope storage and the trouble it may cause hasn't been dragged out into the sunlight yet... plus the older apks it probably will break that have no replacement.
If you do load Q let us know what you think.

Possible, yes ... if it's desirable only you can determine after acknowledging de pros and cons of the upgrade. As @blackhawk pointed out, there are some caveats to be considered. Nevertheless please be advised that this is your decision and none here can be responsible for mistakes or misfortunes that may occur. It's all on you.

The above question has more than an answer:
a) The firmwares available in the forum are for rooted devices so the answer is NO. None firmware available here is fitted for you present setup (the "but" comes later)
b) Yep ... you have to keep compatibility of your hardware with the firmware you flash. Your devide is a N975U so you shall restrict only for the respective family.
And now comes the "but" ...
The firmwares in the below list shall fit your hardware. They are official Samsung releases for the hardware you've mentioned.
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-10-plus/firmware/SM-N975U/USC/
The above list was filtered only with USA (No carrier) options because, as you've said, it's unlocked.
The complete list is @ https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-10-plus/firmware/#SM-N975U and it contains the carrier locked ones too.
You will have to search and read about "flashing with odin". To speed up the download use Samfirm after reading some howtos about it too ... https://samfirmtool.com/

Question Custom ROM - moto G40 & G60

Dear all. Recently bought a G40F and ever since I was on the lookout for custom ROM support. more specifically, a well tested and "straight forward" custom ROM installation sequence. for a noob like me that's very important.
although Moto shares their kernel source code to custom rom devs, the ROM scene for G40/G60 is nowhere comparable to other phones like Poco X3. Im guessing thats because it's launched only in the Indian market(so far) and it hasnt attracted a lot of devs worldwide. well, its a shame tbh.
I have scoured the internet and was disappointed to find nothing of that sort. just a pile of generalized guides(beware of bricking) which is just copy pasted for every devices out there, probably for clicks and running ads. Yet, thank god I found this guy Selva Kumar A. He wrote a detailed guide and tested it on his own G40, and also has a guide if you happen to brick it.
once again, i am a noob and this would be my first custom ROM. So don't take my word for it. I am here reaching out to the community hoping to find better opinions and corrections to the techniques mentioned above. If any Devs reading this, please spare some time to evaluate this. bricking my phone is such a nightmare, but I want root access and try out some cool stuff.

Bootloader is not unlockable at the moment

Correct me if I'm wrong.
With an unlocked bootloader I can root the phone.
whereas for installing a custom ROM I should wait until a developer makes one that'd fit g40f, which also requires a unlocked bootloader

bro I'm guessing you're that youtuber no? Would you suggest I return this phone and wait until Poco x4 or something that'd have a big community support, hence custom roms n everything
