Don't have time to read the whole thread, but wanted to ask does Wind still have the microSD/extra battery etc. promo going on?

And I see that Wind has disabled LTE, is it possible to enable it back to use LTE on Koodo/Telus, after unlocking of course?
[G4 General] ToTheCore:
I have a h81210c, which command should I use for the low effort root?
[G4 General] spartan268:
Page 30 of this thread has the commands

On a side note, we really need control over that OP. It would save a lot of trouble if the links are posted there and then we can try to get a sticky up in this b
[G4 General] fusionadmin:
Does anybody knows:

I'm getting the phone from Rogers and I want to use it with Wind - do I need to flush it with Wind image or simply unlocking will do the trick?
[G4 General] sharky2010:
Unlocking it will work
[G4 General] Azure1203:
So Google Services is starting to use the most battery on my phone. Is there something I can do about this? With my S3 I was able to install a modded Play Services app that disabled wakelocks. Is this available for the G4?
[G4 General] Shike Marples:
What worked for me was turning off location history.
[G4 General] PekingGoose:
Hi guys,

I have an LG G4 that I had purchased from Bell, but had it unlocked and am using it with my service provider, Telus. Which of the files should I use to root the phone?
[G4 General] bitbitbit:
If it was bought from Bell, use the Bell file.
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
Root

Does anyone know if Canadian variants have the one click root tool the US version has?
[G4 General] Negan:
Its only a 3 click root method! Plus there is a step by step video tutorial by root junky on this!
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
Thx, I'll check out the video
[G4 General] ruinkhan:
Hey guys,

I screwed up with build props and phone wont boot past LG logo. Is there are stock Rogers rom that I can flash to revive my phone? I know Puerto Rico rom will work to revive my phone, but I was wondering I could get a stock Rogers rom back.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
pretty sure what you did is screw up the permissions. I sadly don't remember what the commands are to restore it. Do you have any system image on your phone? If so use that.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Mts variant is same as rogers. It even says rgs on the box.
[G4 General] Fma15:
Sorry if this sounds stupid. What link do I use to get the telus root?

--edit--

Never mind I found it. If anyone else is looking you can get it from this link:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347782255

karendar is the one who posted the link so go give him a thank. his post is on the 23rd page.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Man it'd be cool if someone could make a pre-rooted xposed image :/
[G4 General] tomd-87:
Excited to be picking up this phone tomorrow (I'm with Wind).

I was bummed when I found out I won't be eligible to receive ANY cool add-ins, like an extra battery, earbuds, cradle, or an SD card though. Seems like the more expensive phones are getting, the cheaper companies are becoming...

As far as rooting, I'm still not comfortable with it yet. I'd love to get Xposed on my device, but for now I'll be waiting for a more streamlined solution (like the G3 had).

First phone since the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm really excited haha.
[G4 General] Culex316:
I also upgraded to an LG G4 from a Galaxy Nexus. That was a good phone but it's showing its age already. The LG G4 will feel like a quantum leap. Enjoy!
[G4 General] spartan268:
Word on the street the new 10f update fixes the touch and heat issues altogether.

I'll give it a year before we get our hands on it
[G4 General] munsifb:
Anyone tried installing the xposed module in the Canadian variant?
[G4 General] Usraek:
Works great, just follow the instructions.
[G4 General] tophernuts:
Worked for me as well, it took about 28 minutes from pressing the flash button in flash fire to the phone booting up, with about 13 minutes of black screen
[G4 General] Usraek:
13 minutes black screen? Not bad, mine was out for about 20 each time I did it. Nifty little program though.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Anyone looked into the build prop updates from the 10f update to see if there were some changes made that fixed the touchscreen issues?
[G4 General] mrblue81:
Anyone know where I can buy a spare battery and charger in Canada? I found a trendon package on us amazon but it doesn't ship to Canada.
[G4 General] Dantenios:
I came from a Galaxy S3. And yes, it was a super leap in performance. Have had this phone for almost a month and a half and so far I'm loving it! Only issues I've encountered so far is the touch issue (can be greatly noticed when playing tap titans haha) and some slight heating, though don't think my phone heats up like what I've read, it does when I'm actually pushing it, and makes sense considering what it's packing. Other than that, yea. Beast of a phone.
[G4 General] Fma15:
I tried rooting my phone. I think I did everything correctly, but it didn't work. I don't have supersu and root checker says I don't have root access. Why would this be? I have the rooted system image on my sd card (I think its supposed to be on the sd card).
[G4 General] tveith:
I finally got rid of my LG G4. Tried 2 different handsets and both had huge issues with missed taps, lag etc. I purchased a Samsung Edge+ yesterday and absolutely loving it. Fast and responsive, and I no longer want to throw my phone against a brick wall when I type text messages and emails! :)
[G4 General] Usraek:
Internal storage, not SD.
[G4 General] eboy_gb:
Has anyone had any luck flashing a recovery?

I tried flashing TWRP but I get a little error code at the top-left of the LG boot/splash screen every time I try to boot into recovery. In the end, the phone just boots normally and I return to the home screen.
[G4 General] Tywnnvlad:
hello, i thank everyone who worked for roots of variants here and discussed / tested them. I am a new android user and specially with rooting. Is there a guide i can follow properly to root my LGG4(Rogers), I have downloaded karendar's upload. Special thanks to you.

I can follow instructions properly but since im new and inexperienced i am very confused on how to start.

Thank you. :laugh:
[G4 General] eboy_gb:
So, I'm a little worried I've effed my phone up - does a kdz exist for the Bell version of our phone? Thanks.
[G4 General] n3ik:
Does anyone know if the LG G4 H812 will work on Fido's network? Thanks!
[G4 General] Fma15:
Oh ok thanks! I thought it was supposed to be the internal storage, but I thought it was different for the Canadian ones.
[G4 General] sharky2010:
Just unlock it and you're good.
[G4 General] Dantenios:
Haha, glad you're enjoying your edge+. Having come from an s3 which was showing its age, I don't feel an lag with the g4, the missed taps can be annoying, but I'm patient enough to wait for updates from either here or lg about it. :)
[G4 General] montrealguy:
What is the cheapest site for siim-unlocking the LG G4? Can one of you advise? Can the Rogers H812 be rooted yet?
[G4 General] mrblue81:
My telus 812 is rooted, im sure rogers can be too
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Ebay most likely just a few bugs

Go search root lg h812 google
[G4 General] rickyleung90:
I found battery and charger on ebay. They are however $62 cad. Anywhere sells for cheaper?
[G4 General] Ramsey:
Hi guys, I just bought the G4 on Kijiji today and got many accessories with it for a great price. I bought the Rogers one unlocked and it works with Wind.

I'm following the posts from here and everything is fine, I backed up system.img and I'm ready to root to install Titanium backup and greenify but I'm not sure I want to because I want to receive the next update as I'm sure it will fix some things with the phone. So, a question, if I root, how do I unroot to get back OTA? I know for sure it's not with SuperSU's "full unroot" as that will ruin it.

Btw, someone said the volume is low but my experience for the day is that it is extremely loud! My wife was so surprised also when I played some music. I actually want to lower the volume in mixer-paths lol.

The M9 still has better sound quality (I have it as well) but this one is louder. I'll look into installing the dolby equalizer to this, can someone help me with this?
[G4 General] peoples_flip:
Are our Canadian variants, the H812, contain a locked bootloader?
[G4 General] force70:
Yup.

Sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Welp, I've done it. My g4 has officially died.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
What happened?
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
I installed the Dolby atmos equalizer. Had to root first and use Flashfire (you'll have to do some searching don't have a link available) and then installed Dolby through Flashfire. It takes a long time to flash, probably about 15-20 minutes with a black screen. The other alternative you may want to look into is viper4android, doesn't require flashing anything. For both I think you'll also need selinux changed to permissive.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
ended up in a boot loop, I tried a factory reset and that made things even worse. Now it's stuck at the powered by android screen.
[G4 General] athris:
Do you have a system img in your phone,if you do then just reflash the umg should help. Otherwise wait for kdz
[G4 General] Ramsey:
Oh boy, can't wait til we have a stock rom to flash for these situations. On my S5 I just flash stock using Odin and it works fine.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Re-flashing the stock image is when the boot loop started. Will there ever be a kdz :/

Yup, It just needs something to flash it back :(
[G4 General] athris:
Kdz should be coming soon, it is about time.
[G4 General] peoples_flip:
Noob question... What is "kdz"?
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Not all G4's have gotten kdzs though.
[G4 General] finneginsfast:
Hey all,

I've considering this phone to replace a lifetime's worth of Samsung devices. I'm a little concerned with the complexity of command lines etc to root and rom this device as the SGS, S3 and S4 seemed virtually unbrickable. Are my concerns here valid or is this an easy phone to customize and more importantly easy/difficult to brick?
[G4 General] deadgods:
OK so now theres an update for the Telus 812 how do i install and still have root?

EDIT: I have the KDZ H81210F_00 that matches my IME now what?
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3107848

Good luck
[G4 General] Ramsey:
I'm so glad I didn't root lol. I was about to yesterday. The 10f update has to do with fixing touch screen issues and overheating issues. Nice! Hopefully Rogers gets it asap.

I found a way to not use titanium backup but instead adb to backup from another phone and restore to mine, so I'm ok for now. I can also use Helium if need be.

If you find a way to remove root safely and to OTA, do let me know, please!
[G4 General] deadgods:
ok so if i do get the KDZ to go on can i even get root again?
[G4 General] Ramsey:
No idea, they may have to modify the firmware like they did.

Btw, where did you get the kdz from?
[G4 General] deadgods:
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/#imei

is where i got it
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
holy ****ing ****, I really need that. I'm having quite a bit of fun with telus atm. It's going to cost me around half the price of the damned phone to drive out to get it sent off to be basically flashed and sent back. Here's to that kdz fixing the phone.
[G4 General] deadgods:
Let me know how it works i still have not tried it yet....
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
My G4 lives, I'm so bloody happy atm. It getting this thing sent off for repairs would have been such a nightmare. I still can't say thanks enough.

someone should make a rooted

My software version is now 10f. I guess I shall wait for someone to make a root image of it.
[G4 General] deadgods:
Awesome i cant wait till it gets root
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
You notice any differences from your last stock rom? Touch and responsiveness?
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Seems to be fine but I thought it was good before. I got the phone to live just before bed so I'll play with it after work tomorrow.
[G4 General] k3mik4l:
Hmm thinking of flashing this over my bell rooted phone, dont want to lose root but i heard this update brings alot of fixes we all have been plagued with.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
So many people have half-bricked their phones because they don't wait for proper firmwares/roms/kdz. Are you sure the Telus KDZ is compatible with your Bell phone? Just make sure of that before getting too excited and end up with bootloops lol.

Edit: We should all be getting it soon if Telus got it.
[G4 General] k3mik4l:
OK I'm going to wait but I'm assuming when we get it from bell if we are rooted it will successfully update correct? Then we would just wait until we could root this update right?
[G4 General] Ramsey:
If you're rooted then I don't believe the OTA will work, but I'll let someone else answer that. If you get a KDZ then you can just update it even if you're rooted, and then you wait for root.

Can someone tell us if the system resets and we lose our data once we flash a KDZ?
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
If it is rooted it will not update.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

I haven't tried the kdz method yet, but from what I have been reading there is the normal flash, which will not erase data but may cause bootloop which in that case you'll have to do a hard factory reset which will erase data.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Alright, I've been using the g4 and it feels snappier, but that may be the fresh install effect.
[G4 General] k3mik4l:
If i wanted to get to get rid of root on my bell phone, what exact command would i use to unroot the phone i dumped a non rooted system image on my phone before rooting.
[G4 General] eboy_gb:
Does anyone know how to disable OTA updates on LG-H812?

I went to About Phone>Update Center>Software Update and unchecked Check Automatically and Auto-install Updates - is that sufficient? I don't want to end up with another bricked G4.

Thanks.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Eagle1337 is using a Telus kdz, and his profile says he is Bell...is this correct? Or is your device a Telus model?

I do agree though that the update should soon be coming if Telus has it...I will most likely wait as well.
[G4 General] bitbitbit:
Just flash the system.img again but using the non rooted version. Just keep in mind that if you unroot, and do the OTA, the current root method *may* not work after the OTA.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
I'm on telus and it's a telus model. I haven't updated my profile as I forgot about it.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Yeah that is all you need to do.
[G4 General] autoprime:
link to H812 KDZ?

any canadian users wanna PM me their IMEI? You can even leave the last 3 digits off if you'd like. this allows me to get KDZ updates in the future as soon as they come out. I already have a Rogers imei... still need all the others. Thanks.

KDZ links eventually get added to my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/g4/development/stock-complete-kdz-list-t3147406

also, the H812 Telus KDZ should work for all.. just a matter of bloatware and custom boot animations. if any at all.. not sure how canadian g4's are set up. USA phones are filled with junk... while my intl phone has 0 bloat.
[G4 General] mrblue81:
Is there a rooted image of telus 812 for the new update?
[G4 General] kidpaddle45:
Just posting here to say that the 10f update did fix my touchscreen issues. I never even thought i was part of those who had that issue but wowwww its so much better now!!! :D
[G4 General] finneginsfast:
Alright guys, I've cobbled together a list of steps to root my Telus H812 using what seemed like at least three different threads here. I just want to make it as clear as I can so that I don't make any mistakes, get confused and mess up. Also, I'd like to thank all the people who posted this information for me to cut and paste this back into something that hopefully I can use and maybe help someone else out in the future.

I'd really appreciate it if you could proof this thing for me so that it looks like i'm on the right track. Paying special attention to the commands if you would, names of files and spaces etc. Here it is:

1.	Ensure you have the proper drivers for your phone. If you don't, download and install the proper driver below.

All G4 (except Verizon) - http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...Ver_3.14.1.exe http://androidxda.com/download-lg-usb-drivers

2.	Make a backup of existing system image, copy the system .img to root directory of your internal storage using the following command.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=548352 of=/data/media/0/system.img

3.	Open this forum link and keep it up in another tab. We'll refer to it again in step 6: http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

4.	Download the appropriate files for your phone from the section below. Make sure to grab the Send_Command tools (named LG_Root.zip below)

http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/...ef/LG_Root.zip http://d-h.st/uO8h

5.	Move the resulting "system.rooted.telus.10f.img" file to the root of your phone's internal SD card with MTP mode. Do not rename this file, or move it into any folders. If you don't get a file named "system.rooted.telus.10f.img" DO NOT continue.

6.	On the page you opened in step 3, follow steps 2,3,6,7,8,and 9 on that page only, then come back here. Ensure that on step 9, you use the right COM port.

7.	Type "id" and press enter (no quotes). You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root". If not, press CTRL-C, and do step 9 again (the application sometimes doesn't respond on the first command).

8.	Run the command below to flash the rooted system image.

dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.telus.10f.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

9.	After a few minutes of sitting, you should get back a "#" prompt. This indicates the process has finished.

10.	Type "LEAVE" (no quotes) and press enter. Your phone should reboot, and your phone will be rooted.

11.	Now that you're rooted, MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE OTA UPDATES.
[G4 General] Usraek:
Yup.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
So I assume at some point someone will take the new update and root it and post the image back here for us rooted users to flash? Because I don't have much issue waiting for that....
[G4 General] mrblue81:
Yeah I have no problem waiting :) If we are already rooted I assume it Will be the same process as before to update once we have the new image?
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
System image update H81210f rooted FOR TELUS . I would suggest kdz to unrooted version first then using step three found here:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

If you want to try flashing from rooted 10b then try it at your own risk.

[G4 General] turtleh:
Hi first post on forums. I've skimmed through the 50 so pages.

I just bought a Rogers G4, once I fully charge it and updated it tomorrow night, if I have time I can try to upload a dmp so one of you devs can root? What is the instructions I need to make the dmp

Edit : Also should I factory reset my phone out of the box?
[G4 General] munsifb:
Rogers is already rooted. You don't need to upload it. Just dump it and keep it in your internal memory and then download the rooted img then flash it .
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
Has anyone received an update from Rogers as Telus sent one out it seems for the touchscreen
[G4 General] Jason123420:
I haven't got one from Bell yet either.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Nothing from Rogers I think. Unless if I disabled it without remembering
[G4 General] xt700:
Glad to see notification and ringer volumes are separate on the telus update, screen seems more responsive as well!
[G4 General] deadgods:
Im going to flash the update and root when im off work ?
[G4 General] asce1992:
Thank!! Please tell us good responsive for touch screen! :)
[G4 General] Amartier:
Just got the update on my Wind G4. The home screens feel less laggy now, and I haven't had any touch screen issues so far. The changelog also mentioned improved battery life, but I have yet to verify that.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
So is there a root for the Wind Model yet?
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Looks like an update out for Videotron: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/

Hopefully the rest of us gets one soon.
[G4 General] deadgods:
Thanks Man It worked like a charm im on 10f with root on telus :D

EDIT: after i restarted my phone it would not boot past the lg logo i am going to try in reflash the KDZ and then do a full boot then a factory reset then a full boot then try and flash the rooted img file

how long should i wait for the LG logo to pass? 1/2 hr? 1hr? 15 mins? i mean after i flash the rooted file that is....
[G4 General] Azure1203:
I guess if the Telus one is out the Rogers one is coming soon.
[G4 General] Ramsey:
Hopefully battery life is better, it's pretty bad on this phone. Idle is great but when browsing or doing more intensive stuff it drains reallyyyyy fast.
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
No problem. I'm curious, did you flash the rooted update straight from 10b; or did you use the kdz method to unroot then flash the rooted system image?
[G4 General] deadgods:
i flashed the KDZ then the rooted file
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
Okay, good to know.
[G4 General] deadgods:
after i restarted my phone it would not boot past the lg logo i am going to try in reflash the KDZ and then do a full boot then a factory reset then a full boot then try and flash the rooted img file

how long should i wait for the LG logo to pass? 1/2 hr? 1hr? 15 mins? i mean after i flash the rooted file that is....

UPDATE: did that and all is good now! i am restoring my apps now woot woot
[G4 General] Amartier:
Yeah, I get like a little less than three and a half hours of screen time in a normal day. Even my idle can be bad depending on the day. Coming from the One (M8) which clocked at least five hours of screen time daily is tough, but the camera kinda makes up for that haha.
[G4 General] h_zee13:
Never noticed the power screen...is this new with today's update?
[G4 General] Ramsey:
No, it was like that before.
[G4 General] h_zee13:
Ah ok. Never actually rebooted the devices since I got it. Looks nice tho
[G4 General] Ramsey:
It does but like lots of things it's on top where it's hard to reach with one hand. Not sure why LG does that. Even the volume control is on the top of the screen. HTC does it way better and nicer.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

You were rooted before that right? I have a question, no one answered me before but if I want to unroot, would I just flash back the original firmware over rooted one? I'm not rooted yet.

Do I lose my data?
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
Yes, you can flash the unrooted system image over the rooted it will not erase data. There is another method now for the telus lg g4 using kdz.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3107848

This thread will explain it a little more, you shouldn't lose data with this either.
[G4 General] deadgods:
yes i was before. yes you can just flash the KDZ and yes you loose your data cuz you have to do a hard reset
[G4 General] Ramsey:
Thanks but my question is about flashing the unrooted image over the rooted one. Would we unroot that way?
[G4 General] deadgods:
no i dont think you can unroot that way. someone correct me if im wrong..
[G4 General] GetPatriotized:
Just got an update on my Wind variant.
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
Shoot, That sucks! When i used the kdz method I never ran into a problem. After flashing the kdz you have to wait a while. It came up with some error on my pc but I just kept my phone on download mode and plugged in until it rebooted itself into the unrooted H81210f. I was rooted before as well on the 10b. I wonder what went wrong?
[G4 General] deadgods:
yes i got that too and that's what i did and it worked fine anyway
