Anyone interested in purchasing, this website is amazing. I ordered my phone in the afternoon. I got it a day later. It went from the UK to US in less then 12 hours. The phone was brand new, as described, and now I am unlocked, rooted, and running TWRP. Good bye carrier phones and I'm never going back. So simple of a process and now I can do what I want!

interested in buying the LG G4

http://www.handtec.co.uk/lg-g4-32gb-smartphone-genuine-leather-brown.html

This one should work too right?

They say no VAT if sent outside EU. FedEx is very reliable in my country and I spoke with CS through chat and I should receive it in 2 days! Shipping charge is $37USD so total of 569USD with an otterbox case. Better than mercadolibre and none can confirm whether they have an EU model; the sellers respond with "its factory unlocked".

Fedex will charge the import charges to me so Handtec doesn't worry about that, just that this merchant needs to provide:

Commercial Invoice (Original and 1 Copy), Certificate of Origin (4 Copies), Shipper's Export Declaration (2 Copies). I opened a ticket to confirm whether they can send these with the package. Stay tuned!

mexico has one of the crappiest customs rules so if it can be shipped here, it will be shipped to any country that DHL/FedEx can ship to.

[G4 General] AhsanU:
My sister wants a G4 now too, so I've decided to give her my current SEA H815 and bought the one off the website you linked. Hopefully there is no discrepancy in regards to models and what not! My sister may not need root/bootloader unlock, but I sure as hell would like it.

Just ordered it, maybe it'll get here by Monday for me! Cheers for the link and information.
[G4 General] drivel2787:
I had zero issues and it was as described. Unlocked in a few seconds without a hitch.
[G4 General] AhsanU:
I see. What I'm slightly worried about is the specific backs. I'm hoping the brown leather back isn't an SEA model while the black leather is a EUR model, you know?

Which back did you end up getting if you don't mind my asking?
[G4 General] drivel2787:
Mine is the metallic gray looking back
[G4 General] pcoulson:
I got a black leather back that had a gold plastic back in the box too, but tbh the phone physically (and irritatingly) rocks when you use it on a table with those backs, so got the quickcircle back that provides stability and wireless charging.

Hope that helps.

bad news

Bad news for those waiting for other model unlock. Received this from LG developer when asking about bootloader unlock on my H815T. I bought this phone expecting bootloader unlock to be coming but this flat out states no other G4 models will be supported.

Hello,
*
We are sorry to inform you that there is no plan to support bootloader unlock in previously launched models including H815T.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Thank you.

[G4 General] scylla69:
Hi Guys!

I've just bought a two-month-old unbranded g4 (h815).

Is it possible that the bootloader was unlocked straight from the producer?

There's a text on my boot animation in the upper left corner : "bootloader state: bootloader unlocked!"

The person I bought the G4 from told me he didn't modify it himself... Is he lying?

Thanks!

edit:

nvm

He "forgot" to mention about it...

Hi,

i'm wondering if there is any way to remove or hide the bootloader status from screen.

[G4 General] Heisenberg420:
The unlocking process should work fine on linux since all u need is fastboot correct?

Either he did it himself or he bought it also as used, but it doesn't matter your bootloader is officially unlocked and your warranty is void...

Hi guys,

so i gust got my LG G4, which is my first Android phone btw.

I was wandering if the bootloader will be locked again after I flash the stock rom again?

Thanks in advance!
[G4 General] Medizinmann:
Hello,

no - if you officially unlock the bootloader it's impossible right now to relock it.

...it wouldn't matter anyway since your warranty is officially void and your IMEI is registered with LG.

I would wait for an unofficial way to unlock the bootloader which has more probability of being reversible, if one might need to claim their warranty.

Right now I would only root the phone which is reversible for all variants with KDZ available.

Greetings

Medzinmann
[G4 General] zefunezu:
Thanks a lot for answering!

Good thing then that I did not already unlocked the bootloader. What does your experience say, is it rather likely that the devs will come out with a method to do say in the near future?

Cheers!
[G4 General] android404:
Can you recover from a bootloop following the "go back to stock" thread? Then you can just go ahead, root and flash xposed (follow the instructions step by step). There's no need for you to play with kernels and custom roms on your first and brand new 600.- android. You'll see that stock rom and kernel will give you everything you need.

And yes, I'm sure there will be a sollution to the bl problem rather sooner than later.
[G4 General] zefunezu:
Yes I already tried the "go back to stock"-method with success. My understanding was though, that I need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash xposed (with twrp?). Or is there an alternate method to flashing with twrp that does not need an unlocked bootloader?
[G4 General] android404:
There's a thread here somewhere where they use flashfire to flash it.

"The waiting is the hardest part" - Tom Petty

I also have a Samsung GS4, and an enterprising dev over there got around the locked bootloader problem with a utility called "SafeStrap". While I would have preferred a truly unlocked bootloader, this was a really good kluge.

Any way that something like this would work on the G4?

Just curious....!

LG is taking its own sweet time to release bootloader unlocks for all the rest of the G4 models. I cannot wait for them. I wanna buy a phone now. Thinking of getting the Oneplus One or the Oneplus Two. Although I was eyeing the G4 but thanks in part to LG for not being so open ended with their hardware I think I might pass on this one.

[G4 General] NEtik:
Anyone tried this?

Unlocking the bootloader was supported in LG G4 (H815) for the Europe open market only.

From September 1, supported devices are added.

Now, the H815 (G4) for all European market are available to unlock the bootloader.

http://developer.lge.com/community/...nuId=55&contsTypeCode=NOT&prodTypeCode=MOBILE

I already have the unlock.bin (when I tried before 1 Sep an error was given for me) for my Vodafone H815 but I don't want to unlock it yet. This could be very nice for boosting development.

[G4 General] Svartsyn333:
The big question is now: Will I have to flash an unrooted kdz prior to using the unlocker?

Edit: Screw that, you don't have to. Resets your device anyway. But you're still rooted.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
Geez I forgot that it will erase the internal memory. Good that you remember it.

So for phones rooted with the low effort method, you can directly unlock it? If yes can still flash marcosuper rom root img or you can only use TWRP? Also how can you update fw from 10c to 10e after rooting? A simple kdz flash?
[G4 General] skrap3:
Just unlock. Flash the kdz you want with the lg flash tool. Then start TWRP and push SU to your device like it's mentioned in the official unlock thread.

Unfortunately, your device (Singapore) does not support unlocking"

I purchased a carrier "unlocked" G4 (LGH815) from Amazon. After going through the painful bootloader unlocking procedure, the process failed at the last step, emailing the unlock bin from LG, with the message "Unfortunately, your device (Singapore(ARROW(SINGAPORE))) does not support unlocking the bootloader. I'm guessing this is a Chinese/Singapore phone, rather than Euro.

Any advice on how I can root this device, please? Thanks.
[G4 General] Weetbix:
Sounds like my phone (not purchased from Amazon though). If you go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Info does it say that the software version is V10b-SEA-XX ? If so it's exactly the same as mine. I successfully rooted my phone using this method. My bootloader is still locked - but I have root :good:

Hi Scotsman you seem to know what you're talking about so hope you don't mind me asking... I'm in the UK and am looking to purchase a G4 European model. I've found a site I'm keen to purchase from which is great but I'm sure they (like many others) get their stock from Asia. I've asked them what model the one I want is but the replay I received says it's an 'International English version'. I've asked them again to confirm they are in fact, European models. My question, is there an easy way to tell in advance what specific H815 variant the phone is, ie does it say on the box etc?

Cheers in advance :good:

[G4 General] asrulz:
I had the same problem as you .. after few hair falls .. I found this solution.

after you reboot into bootloader / fastboot mode .. you enter the command fastboot oem device-id .. this is where you get stuck with waiting for device right? all you have to do is .. in Windows.. go to Device Manager .. look for Other Devices with Android with it .. right click on Android and update the driver. After few minutes .. your code will be displayed in command prompt.
[G4 General] Javinotfound:
I want to unlock my bootloader officially, but, what can you say about this?

"2. Unlocking the phone will disable certain functions of your phone.

When unlocking the bootloader, the DRM protection of your phone will become untrusted.

Some applications which require DRM protection may not work anymore or block certain functions due to this untrusted DRM.

Common examples are applications which offer download/streaming of paid multimedia content like music and movies."

Will I lose Spotify or Netflix?

[G4 General] WTF?:
In order to use LG's bootloader unlock tool, you must have model H815, your phone's country code has to be in Europe region.

Regardless of the silliness you may have read elsewhere, the official LG tool is the ONLY way you can bootloader unlock a G4

look at the photo below, see the GBR country code on the label? - this would be a model variant you can unlock! :good:

here are the country codes that should work fine with LG's bootloader unlock tool! :) :)

BAL

BEG

CZE

DEU

ESP

EUA

FRA

GBR

GRC

HUN

ITA

NEU

NLD

POL

PRT

ROM

SLO

SWS

if you have been able to unlock any other country codes, please let us know here!

(I realize that the SEA code phones were unlockable briefly, but that was just an oversight, LG claims)

also let us know which of the above codes are on the end of your phone's box if you succeeded in using LG's bootloader unlocker - mine was CZE

-- UPDATE: -- word on the street is that LG has started allowing Europe region carrier specific phones to be unlocked, that adds these additional codes as unlockable - woohoo!
