Just so you all know from what i can see in the kernel source, pingpong root will work. I have messaged keen to see if they can provide with a 64bit binary testing package well see what they say. If not we will need some code writers, but the exploit seems to be unpached.

Ok so first question since I do not have my lgg4 yet. Is OEM unlock enabled inside the settings->developer settings->Enable OEM Unlock.

If it is then all we need is a boot.img dd'd from the device and root becomes very easy.

Im thinking for T-Mobile and for every non ATT and Verizon phone this is all that will be needed.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahlquist:
Yes it is able to be selected. If you do so you get a warning about protections not being enabled if its selected.

Since the Snapdragon 808 is Qualcomm's first hexa-core SoC, I'm hoping there will be some exploits to take advantage from (even with Verizon/AT&T) to gain quicker root/unlock than the G3.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahoythere:
I got my LG G4 today. I didn't take an unboxing video or any photos. I haven't even activated the phone yet because I am waiting for the root / hotspot to be possible.

Anyway, it comes in a small white box. The phone is surrounded in clear plastic stickers, one for each edge.

The battery comes separately. It's easy to take off the leather back to put the battery in.

There is a micro-SD card already inserted into the phone.

There is a USB cable and a USB charger which is also entombed in plastic. Other than that, just documents.

Funny thing is, after using Android devices for 6 years, I didn't think I would need to use the quick-start guide to turn it on. But coming from HTC and Samsung phones, I simply could not find the power button on the LG G4. I had to look it up!

The power button is not on the edges of the phone, but on the back. Genius, I really like that placement. Volume rockers are also back there.

I tested the screen and the speakers -- they look and sound great. I did a quick test of the camera and it's MUCH bette than my GS5 -- so much quicker and sharper images.

I also love the knock code business.

Anyway -- there's an unboxing description for you.

I am waiting for root to activate phone as my daily driver.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
I'm not even sure why people demand this? Is it me, or is that just stupid?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poczynek:
Haha completely agree!

Who loves watching someone else open a box?!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
It's not like you don't know what you're going to see. A phone, battery, charger, 1000 pages of manuals. IDK what else they give. I know with Samsung they give you headphones.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poczynek:
Maybe if it was a Golden Ticket like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory then great!

I think I might start an unboxing video of when I get home with the shopping. Exciting stuff!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
Damn it, I just went grocery shopping yesterday. That would have been a great idea!

My friend have all RUU files for HTC Desire 620 single sim (A31_UL). http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60849939&postcount=10

Because lack of knowlege we need help from someone to compile a custom recovery for our device.

Here is a list of RUU files:

He is willing upload any file from upper list, if somone wants to help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxter006:
Note where talking about the single SIM desire 620 Qualcomm snapdragon 410 not the 620g which has different cpu and uses different firmware

desire620a31ul_stock_recovery

Taken from Orange UK rom, as far as I know recoveries are not carrier specific.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw7S-kfd-L-RdFVwY3FGaHkyaG8/edit?usp=docslist_api

This could be used to compile a custom recovery either TWRP or clockworkmod.

Next is the boot loader Rom for the UK orange carrier. This also contains the stock recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxter006:
Reading online about creating custom recovery its seems the stock boot image is usually used to building programs that MediaTek devices which the 620 in question isn't, so i've uploaded it from the RUU files.

The closest desire to the 620 A31UL that has a custom recovery is the Desire 816 which has a Qualcomm MSM8928 Snapdragon 400 chip set, the 620 A31Ul has a Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410, both of these are Kitkat phones.

https://twrp.me/devices/htcdesire816.html 816 TWRP recovery

What we need is someone with experience in creating recoveries and experience in the Linux environment, we can provide all the needed files and flash any created recovery for testing. And then if this recovery works successfully that could post it to TWRP or CWM for regular android users.

I've had two prevous phones Xperia Ray and Galaxy S3 both which i rooted uses sources built by others and install many different customs roms. So if someone was able to create a recovery we easily be able to test it.

Just uploaded HTC desire 620 A31UL stock firmware

These are for the EE/ORANGE carrier UK only and are here if you have bricked your device.

RUU file is for Windows and from my understanding you need to first re-lock your bootloader.

RUU_A31_UL_K44_DESIRE_Orange_UK_1.02.61.1_Radio_00.03.012_U10012131_41.09.1225_release_413623_signed.exe

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw7S-kfd-L-RbEE4RnBjcmg1UkE/edit?usp=docslist_api

This is to flash stock firmware without pc, rename the file to 0PE6IMG.zip and copy to the root of sd card. When in hboot boot loader it should flash. Or you could flash in stock recovery.

The only problem I have with custom roms like cyognemod mod is they are not compatible with sky go here in the UK. It's kind of a deal breaker for me since joining sky, as I'm paying a package to watch tv on the go I might as well use it.

Hding root methods has ever worked for me very well, I always unroot the 620 to use Barclays banking apps on. And the. Root if I need to use a root app, which is a pain but the only way I can use the phone fully.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrik.KT:

No don't have one, in uk no shops have ever sold them. Ebay ones for the 620 are like £30 when my wifes m8 one was £3 for a cloned one. Hows cyogenmod coming along?

hi to all here I am a french that is lost with English and I did not understand if you managed the root of the famous HTC Desire 620 I want you to explain to me how to cordially thank you for the root anvance djwizzer :p:p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eygakan:
To root your Desire 620, you must first unlock your bootloader thanks to the website htcdev.com/bootloader/

After that, you must flash a custom recovery, which will be useful to flash root files, the custom recovery and the installation instruction are available in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62712766&postcount=73

And then, you must download the root files for Android 4.4.4, and flash them with the new recovery. And that's it ! If you need further explanations or french explanations, send me a DM :)

* Charging/Batt indicator (often shows bad battery levels, probably kernel driver issue)

* NFC (loads and turns on, cant test the functionality because i dont have other nfc phones)

* FM

* Crypto

Well done for your hard work, is there a time frame for the cm12 to be used as a daily build? Also I have used cm12 before on my old galaxy s3, but this is my first HTC. As I have made a backup. If I tried your cm12, I could just restore from backup once I tested your build?

Sorry, but no ETAs. I use it as a daily driver now, I don't really mind the camera.

If you want to test it, make a backup, do a factory reset, flash cm (and gapps) and test it. If you decide to revert, simply restore the backup.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xodo:
Sorry, but I'm not allowed to put external links before I reach 10 posts, but this version of Xposed worked for me:

Version name: 2.6.1

Release type: Stable (low risk of bugs)

Download: de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v32_de4f0d.apk (711.77 KB)

You can easily find it through Google.

Here are the steps to make it work:

1. Boot or flash the twrp image provided by patrik.KT (use links and instructions from earlier posts)

2. Root your phone (use links and instructions from earlier posts)

3. Install Xposed 2.6.1 installer

4. Open Xposed 2.6.1 installer, go to "Framework", change the installation mode to "Recovery (write zip to SD card, flash manually)" and tap Install/Update

5. It will write two zip files to your phone's internal storage ../Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files/ : Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip and Xposed-Installer-Recovery.zip

6. Boot using twrp and flash the latter zip file

7. Reboot - you should be able to install Xposed modules now

If something goes wrong and you'll be stuck in a boot loop, flash the Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip file (of course using twrp).

Hope that helps.
