Exactly, kingroot will never root the g4 because of that reason. I just went ahead and flashed the rooted IMG and I'm a happy camper lol but kr installs outdated binaries so most of the good root apps don't work at all or half ass work so I always immediately ran the supersume app after kr on the devices I used it on ...if it ever came close to rooting the g4 it would maybe temp root for a secs and definitely be gone at reboot
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Yea I installed KingRoot on my Asus ZenWatch 2 and it changed all kinds of things to the point where the next updates was failing to install. Since I rooted to pull system files, I had no way to flash stock files back. I ended up returning it. I know it changed my build.prop in several places.
[Verizon LG G4] magvag:
I am change to SuperSU too, because it more functional after root
[Verizon LG G4] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK while many of you may not care for Kingroots root method, it is a root method XDA recognizes. The key thing to know when rooting,

THERE IS RISK IN ANY ROOT METHOD!

Here is the XDA link to offical KINGROOT http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461.

That said, Kingroot has not acknowledged that the LG G4 can be rooted with their tool, atm.
[Verizon LG G4] eugene373:
Here is what I use to remove KR.

I've had issues with KingRoot as well, and the same problem that most have posted about. To resolve those issues after using kingroot, just use the attached zip.

un-zip files, place mrw onto sdcard and run via terminal.

$ su

# sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

This will remove all of KingRoot crap, I can't take credit for this and I'll see if I can find the original post but I think it came from androidforums.com

FYI, here is the original thread on the subject or KR removal

Thank you, wasn't sure where I got it from but it does work great ;)
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Every device I've used kr on I immediately used supersume because until ssme came out I had noth8ng but problems with kr. If they ever get root on the g4 it'll only be temporary and won't write to system...that kind of root is just a tease lol

Hey just being realistic
[Verizon LG G4] phobia09:
LG is a far cry from Sammy as far as security, and yet every GS6 variant, by and large, got rooted via PingPong root. You're not being "realistic", you're being cynical and not helping progress whatsoever. And I apologize to others in the thread for further derailment and promise not to give this anymore discussion. *End rant

[Verizon LG G4] LancerV:

[Verizon LG G4] MicroMod777:
Yep, and will probably be packaged in a way that won't brink your G4 for entering the wrong commands.
[Verizon LG G4] LancerV:
That's half the fun!
[Verizon LG G4] barondebxl:
Not one single LG G4 came with an unlocked bootloader. Both International GS6 (G920 F and G920I), Canadian versions, Tmobile USA and Sprint versions came with unlocked bootloader out of the box so what are you talking about? Its been like that for years.
[Verizon LG G4] phobia09:
LG does initially lock their bootloaders, yes, but they don't put much effort into security as far as "the big picture" goes. The G2 was able to take advantage of Loki (originally released for GS4), despite Loki being well known by the release of the G2; the G3 had its bootloader circumvented with bump (GS5, save for international variants, never got more than root/safestrap), and jcase is already able to write to system for the G4. Samsung also has their elaborate Knox security, which can cause problems for modders. So, yeah, LG locks their bootloaders (and released an unlock method for the EU variant, which is more that Sammy's done for their locked devices), but they aren't too concerned with security as a whole.
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
There are no restrictions on your bounty donation (in the disclaimer)

To all, thanks so far! I have NOT added T-Mobile variants to the unlocked bootloader part as that is always usually unlocked for T-Mobile otherwise. It's more for Verizon/AT&T users as we haven't had one in years. Make sure everyone reviews what I have and PM for an necessary changes, thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] krazy_smokezalot:
All it took was one person to derail this thread. This will unfortunately be locked soon. Anyways back on topic

$70 for root all variants
[Verizon LG G4] barondebxl:
But youre comparing LG releasing a tool method to unlock tgeir bootloader vs sammy which ships the phone with tge bootloaders unlocked already. I would choose the latter. Also LG`s method voids your warranty, not with samsung. There is no method for US variants. Sprint and T mobile bootloaders are unlocked out of the box. Yes Knox is annoying but you can trip it and void your warranty just like you do when you use the LG tool to unlock your bootloader. Just saying
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
Yes, as mentioned in the OP please REFRAIN from side topics about pi****g matches. Just PM each other.

I am now at work so I have just updated the pledges and totals. Keep 'em coming guys! Show appreciation for the devs who take time out of their own lives to do work for us that some of you feel you have the RIGHT to have without contributing.
[Verizon LG G4] slaytanic:

[Verizon LG G4] antoniomistretta:
Hi dennisg34 it is possible to have only root? On my LG H815 with LMY47D without unlock Bootloader?Thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] autoprime:
hmm so there's: "root/recovery" or "full bootloader unlock" bounties?

aren't these the same thing? to have custom recovery would mean to be bootloader unlocked. to be bootloader unlocked would also give root/recovery. or does "root/recovery" mean loki/bump unlock? full bootloader unlock = permanent despite any OTA? and nothing for just root?

I'm just trying to understand and maybe make it clearer for anyone who may want to claim :)
[Verizon LG G4] antoniomistretta:
Thank you. I would only root, with stock recovery. Like this for Lg G3:

[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
With my S5 we had root/recovery by Safestrap. Don't need a BL unlocked for SS. Possible to have root and no bootloader unlock. I copied a template from another user here. Basically, it's a bounty for root and for full BL unlock.
[Verizon LG G4] superbonto:
i'd be satisfied by just root and bootloader workaround like loki or bump.

especially for my 'not-so-international' variant H818P. :D
[Verizon LG G4] workdowg:
??... I don't really understand you but we have full root access on this device .... We need to unlock the bootloader to make ROM's and a custom recovery...

Edit: We will need a new root method for Marshmallow though...
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Yes exactly we need the bootloaders unlocked or a new form of bump (which isn't likely either) before we can have any real Rom fun. I was saying I've used kingroot on many devices and used supersume to immediately swap it out for supersu. But this doesn't work on the Verizon g4. And also yes we will need a new root method for marshmallow...so I'll just keep lollipop cuz there's nothing special about marshmallow worth losing root over for me. So I just traded one of my g4's for a g3 to ease my flashing addiction lol

[Verizon LG G4] fresnogamer:

"[BOUNTY VZW ATT ONLY] New Root Method Exploit or Full Bootloader Unlock"

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] dadrumgod:
Kingroot will likely never work on these g4's your best bet is to find and flash a rooted system image. But keep a copy of the img. On your internal storage in case you get stuck in a bad boot loop it'll save you some aggravation since we have no custom recovery and most likely never will. This is why I traded one of my two g4's for a g3 and I have a different to almost every day if I want plus it performs better than the g4 in every way for me which makes no damn sense when the g4 is supposed to be the Upgrade , this phone was an utter disaster from day 1 lol
[Verizon LG G4] shoes22:
You don't even need to find and download a rooted system image...as long as you're on Lollipop and have access to a Linux computer, you can create a rooted system image yourself using your existing system partition.
[Verizon LG G4] chrisf8657:
Ill pay $30 for any root on MM.
[Verizon LG G4] EnduringGuerila:
Then why has no one uploaded a rooted version of VS986 24c? I have a fair amount of Linux experience and I dont just magically know how to do this.
[Verizon LG G4] shoes22:
You can do it for Lollipop firmware only.

24c is Marshmallow, and Marshmallow checks for the integrity of the system partition if your bootloader is locked.

But on any lollipop firmware you can inject the root script into a backup of your system image in Linux and flash it. That’s how all of us on Lollipop with locked bootloaders have root in the first place.
[Verizon LG G4] EnduringGuerila:
Thats what I thought but it's been a while since I read about it.

I flashed one before I updated and it was wonderful. Just wishing there was a solution for rooting 24c if not full bootloader unlock...
[Verizon LG G4] astonmartin214:

[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
No it doesn't. Link please?

Because everything I've read points to only T-mobile having unlocked bootloader here in the US. And even then, they are having problems flashing roms.
[Verizon LG G4] J32A:
it was false
[Verizon LG G4] billybob275:
The T-Mobile G5 technically has an unlockable bootloader, but there's a secondary lock in place that prevents custom img's from being flashed to the device. Also, a lot of the fastboot commands have been removed. The only thing the Bootloader Unlock does on that model is void the warranty with none of the benefits.

There's talk of folks knowing how to root the G5, but its just the same method used on any other MM device if they have a way around the bootloader/flash locks. Essentially it would require a custom recovery, and flashing SuperSU, but until we can get around the locks, we can't do this.
[Verizon LG G4] coolguy71261:
Why can't we write the recovery to the system portion like on the Droid X? Eventually cvpcs figured out how to get cm on it.

[Verizon LG G4] coolguy71261:
He is flashing his AT&T phone so that it has the software of a T-Mobile. If it's the same hardware it should work.
[Verizon LG G4] cowsquad:
Well for them probably yes. T-Mobile and at&t are GSM and Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. You can't take a Verizon phone and make it work on those networks. So I think that has an impact on hardware too.

You should try it, but I am sure you will end up with a not working phone ?
[Verizon LG G4] coolguy71261:
You must be new here, it has the radio capabilities to run on any network. just Verizon has locked the ability for us to be able to use those bands. I am using Net10 with an AT&T sim. i can pick up HSPA and HSPA+ just fine just don't have all of the needed LTE bands to be able to get LTE in all areas. i only have band 4 for LTE i think. In therory what i am wanting to do is re write the boot loader so that it reads as non VZW. Now this may not even be possible.
[Verizon LG G4] ajayk111:

I'm so jealous.

I have a GS4 with a custom ROM. Unlocked hotspot. I just hate swapping the sim between the GS4 and LG G4. When I am in the car One phone is GPS and the other msc. stuff. GS4 is my hotspot and the "msc." phone and my LG G4 is my gps. I would like it the other way around.

I have AT&T
[Verizon LG G4] ericperez380:

[Verizon LG G4] tsmith154:
What do you mean? "Update to latest firmware and act" There is something I can do?
[Verizon LG G4] ericperez380:
Sorry is my keyboard. Update to latest firmware and activate hotspot
[Verizon LG G4] tsmith154:
Last night I powered off my GS4 to remove my chip from it, that I was using to use the WifFi hotspot. And placed it back into my LG G4 that does not have the hot spot available. To my surprise, phone booted and quickly displays it is going to reboot to install the latest firmware update. I never approved the update, it just displayed this. I quickly removed the batter before it could even shut down to start the update. The phone must have downloaded the update in the back ground when I was plugged in and connected to my wifi at home. I placed the battery back in and again it said it was going to reboot to install this firm ware update. There was nothing that I know of that I could do to prevent this. I tried to stop this just in cast someone figured out how to flash a custom rom on this build and software version.

On the side note. I'm not looking to change the direction of this forum, this info is just to share what I learned during this process after a few phone calls to AT&T. I have a 10 year old gran father contract with them. I asked about my unlimited plan and if it is ever throttled. Tech said that they do throttle these plans at 20 gb. and do not allow wifi hotspot on these plans. But they do allow wifi hotspot on the limited plans. They have a plan that at 16 gb they throttle you down to 125 kb/sec unless there is not much traffic through there service in the area. But! they do not shut down your internet service or charge you extra even after you go past your max paid for 16 gb plan. So that is only 4 gb difference between the unlimited plan and this 16 gb limited plan. With this 16 gb plan I now have wifi hotspot with no extra charge. The other thing I learned is that the unused data that was lower than 16 gb is carried over for one month. So if I had 4 gb left during this month, next month I get 16 gb + 4 gb = 20 gb data with out being throttled.

My phone is now unlocked for t-mobile. If I change to t-mobile does anyone know if I could flash a rom on this thing. I can't imagine I could. It is not like t-mobile changes any of the software on my phone. They, that I know of only change the sim card to use there service.

[MENTION=6260190]fates13[/MENTION],

I see from the bootloader unlock thread that you have a Nougat ROM working on your VS986. Does everything including voice, texting, mobile data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS work well for you? Any issues observed yet? Thank you for updates in the other thread and here :)

Did your internal storage get wiped in the process of unlocking and going to the N ROM?

Did you have to flash gapps too?
[Verizon LG G4] fates13:
This probably isn't the right thread for this but everything was working besides security settings for the lock screen. Trying to figure out the issue now. Internal is not wiped and gapps needs to be flashed.
[Verizon LG G4] chrisokaly:
Are we just making assumptions now? T-Mobile version seems just as locked down as any other carrier. As I previously stated, I think these were shipped with 5.1 for a reason. Unless LG releases what we need them to, I doubt there's going to be much in the way of development on US market phones.
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
No assumptions at all, T-Mobile never has locked BLs ( or at least for long) so if you can prove otherwise, go right ahead. They were shipped with 5.1 because that's the latest OS from Google.
