I am broke after buying my VS986 at full price, but I will pledge $10.00 each x 4 = $40.00 for bootloader unlock or bypass (loki-like on GS4).. And go..
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
Bypass doesn't qualify for the bounty of the bootloader unlock (specifically mentioned in my OP).
[Verizon LG G4] jal3223:
I think that all of the past bootloader methods for LG have been bypasses. In fact, I think the only devices that have been truly unlocked has been from HTC (aside from the Galaxy S3 years ago and a couple of old Moto devices).

If you can flash a custom recovery, kernel, and ROM what's the differnce?
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
People are more than welcome to donate if that happens, but this bounty alone specifically says no bypasses. I will donate myself for a bypass as I haven't seen an unlocked BL or bypass for a phone I've owned in 2 years.

[Verizon LG G4] MicroMod777:
You guys need a new Super Bounty in the Global General section of the G4 to unlock the bootloader.

I saw another thread it looks kind you can flash the international version once you get root, I'm just happy to get rid of some of the Verizon bloatware.

So any news about an unlocked bootloader, I haven't tried the international flash. **Edit so I never tried flashing international version, probably a good thing because the hardware is probably different and I imagine it'd screw something up**

[Verizon LG G4] zackzuse:
Is there still any developer interest in unlocking the bootloader for custom roms?
[Verizon LG G4] ErismaSS:
Yaaa I mean there is xposed out there now which helps, but an unlocked bootloader seems to make everything a little tidier, full control.

[Verizon LG G4] PhonePhapperBYAAAHH:
New Thread

Totally agreed. This thread is toast. There's probably nobody out there that wants to pull off a true bootloader unlock (has that much time or wants to put in the enormous effort). I can't even remember the last phone that got a real unlock (S3?) What we need, is a workaround like Loki or Bump. The G3 is great with bump. Without opening up a thread that offers the bounty to workarounds (no safestrap plz, lol); I dont think we'll be properly motivating the devs, or giving realistic expectations as power users.

Ummm, I dont think i have enough points or whatever to open a thread yet, but i will donate generously to the codefire team or whoever can provide a workaround like Bump. No actual unlock necessary like this thread proposes.
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
Not even about the money, I don't think anyone is working on an unlock or work around anyways. Think the phone developing is dead :-/
[Verizon LG G4] drt054:
Yeah, I'm out!!! Got Moto X Pure on the way. I truely did love the LG G4 but not enough development goin on here. Worst part is I purchased for $549, but this phone is only selling for $350 or more on various sites... FU LG!!!

[Verizon LG G4] Shaffer678:
This includes the Verizon model? Bootloader isn't locked down?
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
That's correct. The phone isn't sold by the carriers, the bootloader can be unlocked right out of the box, and we had root in four days. Think of it as a Nexus with an SD slot.
[Verizon LG G4] DattKiddKFC:
I've been getting more and more disappointed with the g4 as its life span increase. From terrible touch sensitivity and over heating. I think I'm gonna abandon ship while my ship is still worth money lol
[Verizon LG G4] Shaffer678:
Nice! I've been waiting for the nexus devices but I'll have to add this to the equation.
[Verizon LG G4] jamesd1085:
Wow...people are ignorant to jump ship on a device that hasn't been unlocked in the 1st 3 months...these things take time and all you idgets who use verizon should know by now verizon phones are like a developers prison...i left verizon years ago due to heavy lockdown on my vzw s4...verizon is the worst carrier to buy from if you want development
[Verizon LG G4] DattKiddKFC:
It's not just that. The g4 has been bogging down relentlessly. Even from a fresh software boot. The over heating and the touch sensitivity is also lacking like I mentioned. The g4 just isn't living up to the hype it once had.
[Verizon LG G4] jamesd1085:
You need to send it in then...use mine hardcore and never gets slow or hot...even on high end games...love my g4...you either got a bad one or an app you have either pre-installed or by you is causing you issues...
[Verizon LG G4] DattKiddKFC:
I'll admit I'm a power user. I play ingress. I have my smart watch always connected. I drain the battery half way through the day. And as far as I can tell this phone is not for power users
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
Yes, Verizon is known for ruling bootloaders with an iron fist, but up until now, ever since the OG Droid, there has always been at least one phone in each generation that could be flashed with custom kernels and ROMs, including the MDK S4. And let's face it, at just about four months old, the G4 is well into it's lifespan. The longer it goes, the more users and developers start to lose interest. If the bootloader ever does get unlocked, I question how much developer support it will see. So, for most XDA users I imagine, it's probably a good thing that carriers are doing away with subsidies. Sure, we'll have to pay more for our phones, but phones like the MXP show that the manufacturers are willing to release phones that will work on all carriers, that those of us who wish to can tinker with.
[Verizon LG G4] edmann:
You sound like a company man there spotmark. AOSP. "For some of us -- the nerdly types who build software -- the full name tells us what we need to know. AOSP*stands for*AndroidOpen*Source*Project. The AOSP was designed and written by folks who had a vision that the world needed an open-source platform that exists for developers to easily build mobile applications. It wasn't designed to beat any other platform in market share, or to fight for user freedom from tyrannical CEOs -- it exists as a delivery mechanism for mobile apps -- like*Google's mobile apps, or any of the 400,000+ in the Google Play store. Luckily, Google realized that using open-source software would ensure that this operating system/mobile application content delivery system is available for all, for free. And by*choosing the licensing they did, it's also attractive to device manufacturers who can use it as a base to build their own mobile OS." Jerry Hildenbrand m.androidcentral.com/android-z-what-aosp
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
And your point is?
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I've experienced the same things. If I use my phone for say 20 minutes of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, web browsing, etc., the phone gets very hot and the battery can drop 20% during my lunch break.

The G2 was fantastic and had lots of dev support. The G3 was pretty good and had decent dev support, but the G4 has almost no dev support and camera aside I think it's worse than the G3. LG seems to be getting worse and worse every year.

Yea. LG devices havent had a bootloader unlock in a few gens. Typically they find an exploit to sidestep the lock and flash a custom recovery. The Tmobile does this. Once you root you can flash twrp with flashify. That is the method we used on the G2

[Verizon LG G4] edmann:
Paying someone or team is a pleasure for their work done on any phone. We always donate to the ROM makers. The problem I sense is our community is doing work for the carrier/corps who are constantly have us to free work for them to charge us on the next model. Plus I'm pissed they did it to a phone that attracted lots of people due to the specs. I think I remember buying the Google Nexus w/unlockable bootloader. One actually had a choice! I no longer want a phone w/locked bootloader.
[Verizon LG G4] will4958:
I recently got a Note 4 from Verizon and so far like the phone. Unfortunately, though, it seems that root is not going to happen for it, but I've read that the G4 is rootable. Since I'm still within the 14 day return policy, I'm considering returning the Note 4 and getting the G4 instead. Before doing this, I have two questions: 1) Is root still possible for the G4, or has it been blocked? 2) The battery life for the G4 looks considerably lower than the Note 4, at least from what I've read on Verizon's site, compared to the Note 4 which is said to get around 24 hours or so on a full charge. How long does the G4 actually last during a typical day of use while browsing the Internet, watching videos, or any other intense activity? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon LG G4] edmann:
G4, rooted, bebloated, tweaked. I don't know what you mean by "typical day" but if your talking about a typical day my battery has excellent life. Not even a concern. That doesn't mean I didn't buy a charging station in case I'm stranded. Great phone if all you want is root. I don't think the rooting is block, but not to take my word for it, check XDA here for that answer.
[Verizon LG G4] tpjets62:
My G4 is stock along with my girlfriends Note 4, both Verizon.....we both use our phone pretty equally throughout and the day, and my G4 goes much further than the Note 4....
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
and the LG G4 has a removable battery :)
[Verizon LG G4] will4958:
So does the Note 4. That's one of the main reasons I went for it.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Oh ya, for some reason I kept thinking you got Note 5, which doesn't have a removable battery anymore.

I blame it an all the meds and sleep deprivation I have had tonight thanks to this stupid and awful cold/flu :(

Edit: I should also state that the latest android version for the Verizon LG G4 is 13B which fixes screen sensitivity, touch screen problems and a few other issues. Best part is that it can also be rooted now.
[Verizon LG G4] cowsquad:
Have you updated your verizon LG4 to the latet? I keep getting the update notification, but I keep on cancelling.
[Verizon LG G4] will4958:
I'm actually kind of leaning toward keeping the phone now. My main reason for wanting root was to use the mobile hotspot, but after paying for the full version of FoxFi, that need has been met. I'll admit I would like to get rid of the ads in some of the apps I use, but with the Amazon Underground app, I can download some totally free apps, like the calculator app I currently use, without ads. By the way, for any Star Wars fans here, you can get Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for free through the Amazon Underground app. It's about 2 gigs in size, but looks pretty decent.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Well, funny story....

I KDZ'd back to 11A stock and it took a few hours for the OTA update to show. You CANNOT do the OTA update while rooted. Will fail or bad stuff can happen. I could instantly notice HUGE differences on phone performance. Felt like a new phone, screen sensitivity was awesome, all my touches were registering and noticed a few changes like slow motion on the camera. Basically all good things. I then proceeded to root my phone while I was completely distracted and forgot to keep an image on my internal storage. I must have done something bad or something because phone went into a bootloop. I was impatient and tried all kinds of bad stuff to make it work and well, hard bricked it. :(

So did I update to latest? Yup! And it was awesome for the few hours I used it. haha!

Is it rootable? Yup! Plenty of people have done it and its working for them.

Is there a KDZ file incase something goes wrong? Yup, it just got uploaded and is available now.

So pretty safe to root to 13B if you FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS. But you have to do OTA Update BEFORE you root and you CANNOT be rooted to take the OTA Update. And remember, keep an image on your phones internal memory. I know it sucks because it can be a big file, but worth it if problems arise. Can always reflash that and not loose anything on your phone.

I've been in the fence about selling my G4,in fact it's currently up for sale on Swappa. But with the latest updates and still being able to apply root (albeit not an easy task like the good ole stump root days for my G3), this is actually making me want to hold onto to it (about 60% of me does any way).

Bootloader unlock?...

If someone would try this i used it in november to unlock the bootloader on my verizon g4 that i since have sold. First go to playstore and download Nova Launcher

Step 2 long press the home screen and select widgets

The top set of widgets hold down nova activities (the 3rd one from the left) and place it on the home screen.

It pulls up all the activities in the phone. Scroll down to settings and open it. I belive it is the 2nd one on the list named SETTINGS ACTIVITY select it.

And finally the easy part. Go to your new icon on the home screen and open it. Enable oem unlock. You should be unlocked. But if you want to make sure download hidden menus from the play store and scroll to RLZ DEBUG UI and open it. There is an OEM UNLOCK there as well. I am currently using a sprint g4 LS991 that i rooted unlocked and currently use with my verizon service. I am trying to locate a vzw or att g4 to go thru all the steps and post pictures. If i am off on any of the locations for finding the options please let me know. If it dont work on the newer software versions im sorry maybe it will point someone in the right direction
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Just a heads up and to clarify a bit, what you did was NOT unlock the bootloader on your Verizon phone, but just toggle an option that doesn't do much :(

Unfortunately, that toggle doesn't unlock the bootloader or give you any more functionality. Its just there because on the phones like the T-mobile version, it actually unlocks bootloader, but on VZW it is hidden because their bootloader is locked.

2. Connect your G4 and turn on debugging USB

!!!Possible bugs by connecting and finding PC

can be repeated reboot!!!

[Verizon LG G4] pkopalek:
Kingroot installs known spyware on phones (and requires digging through Application Manager to uninstall ones that don't even have icons.

Users pretty consistently report their Facebook (and other accounts) being hacked after using Kingroot.

If you do use Kingroot, be sure to first change over to SuperSU (instead of using KingRoot's program), then carefully go through your Application Manager and uninstall anything that wasn't there BEFORE kingroot.

But DOES Kingroot actually work anyway? It may well not, since the rooting process for the G4 seems to require flashing a rooted system image, strategically.
