I've already rooted 10g.

https://mega.nz/#!BoF0QSoQ!d1fmVHrjP7XN-Hu8X6IoxtWQyLB6TS_3L5UOs1EJQgI

I am currently uploading a compressed rooted image to androidfilehost that should be done shortly. Apologies for the bad upload.

EDIT: Here is the Androidfilehost rooted 10g image:

[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Uhm yeah i could but won't the system image from my device have all my personal settings and stuff?
[G4 General] juju2011:
No that's stored in data partition but it's cool check post above :)
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Updated my posts to include the compressed Androidfilehost rooted 10g system image. Enjoy guys.

I will start, from now on, injecting root into images until a better method comes along.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Well then i can do that.. Is the link for the wind variant?
[G4 General] k3mik4l:
Is there a newer rogers update since the h ? Or does anyone know if bell has released any updates since that tiny 44mb one a few weeks ago?
[G4 General] juju2011:
Yah it's wind
[G4 General] tabudrummer:
Does anyone have any hints on how to get the 10g or even 10f kdz. I'm on a Bell G4 that has 10e and was trying to get one of the newer telus kdz files from devtester and the download links will not work. I managed to download a 10g rootedsystem.img, but Im not sure pushing a 10g image to 10e is the best option. So if I can get onto 10f/g itself I can follow the guides to inject root into my own system img.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
might be a stupid question.. .so i m on rooted 10f ryt now, and to actually update it to 10g i will have to unroot it ryt?.. how did you do it?
[G4 General] k.s.deviate:
You don't have to unroot, you just need to flash the 10g KDZ which will unroot on its own. Then you can flash the rooted 10g .img file if you want.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Definately do not flash a 10g system image over your 10e build or you will run into problems that you probably will not know how to deal with, it isn't worth the headache! I will explain what I did below.

I plugged my phone into my computer and LG bridge pushed the update to it via download mode. I never removed root but I am thinking for future updates I will as it removes root anyway and I would rather it not end up complicating things. I'm not sure if it can, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
[G4 General] k.s.deviate:
on the site where you download the KDZ click the download link, then read the comments below as it gives you two options to change the link slightly to enable the download.
[G4 General] tabudrummer:
Whenever I click the download link its just a blank page, so I am at a standstill I guess, Ill keep trying, but thanks for the help
[G4 General] spartan268:
You missed the most important part
[G4 General] k.s.deviate:
Here is the text that appears under the download links.

Note: for download links that start with http://pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev - and they don't trigger the download properly please change it with http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev or http://pkg02.azure.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev but keep the URL structure (fileKey and kdz file).
[G4 General] geetard:
Still nothing new from Bell/Virgin (i.e. nothing since 10e).
[G4 General] defender007:
Just picked up an G4 from Bell. I tried to search the thread but didn't get anything. Maybe I'm just lost. How do I back up (of mage an image) of my phone before rooting/upgrading it to the latest firmware?

Thanks
[G4 General] deadgods:
We really need a new thread with all the links on the first post...
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
The op can also just update.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Yeah you are in the wrong thread for that.

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

There is the step by step how to for rooting your g4. Remember to read everything carefully.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
This threads OP no longer uses the G4. I doubt that the first post will be updated.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Ah shoot.. I guess we stick to post numbers and linking to other threads
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Yeah, or perhaps a keen poster can ask a mod to be given rights to the first post?

Or perhaps a new thread on updated Canadian root-injected files, etc. with a list of instructions can be tolerated as the same questions keep getting asked, and the info is spread out quite a bit. Can't expect folks to get up to speed in a thread with this many posts, most of which are outdated. Can't imagine being someone new trying to sift through all of this.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
That is true, it's gonna be hard for the new LG g4 users to go through several pages lol. Well lets see what happens.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
What kind of things would be good to have in the first post if a user were to be given the rights to the first post of this thread? Like a link to the Root injection thread and maybe rooted system images?
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Pretty much.. That should do it I think.. And also updates on the rooted images
[G4 General] Filiab:
I hate to ask, but have not been able to find anything specific yet -- I'm on the recent 10h Rogers update and have just been looking for a way to root so I can get xposed back on my phone (miss it dearly from my n5).

Which is the proper guide for a working root method on this software right now?

I've already got the drivers, and the 10h kdz. What's next?

Thank you so much!
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
1) Download my rooted 10h Rogers system image here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-dYQXNfPs7UZUo4SjQxY1FiMUE

2) Then put in in the main directory on your INTERNAL SD.

3) Then follow the directions in STEP 3 of the first post in this thread:

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

4) Profit

The only thing to worry about is to make sure you copy/paste the correct string to flash the rootedsystem.img from the link in the thread.

Make sure it's the H812 string.

Once rooted, you can flash Xposed (search for the thread here, it has instructions).
[G4 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
As your OP has vacated this thread, a new thread for Canadian users can be found here:good:

Thank you [MENTION=4401088]Spudnubs[/MENTION]
[G4 General] AegisValour:
After 2 days of use, I'm pretty sure I have touch issues. Though I think I'm on the lighter end of the spectrum that is missing around about 10% of my taps/touches. However, oddly enough my double tap to wake works 100% of the time which leads me to believe it is a software issue.

I believe LG set the screen sensitive lower (think the opposite of glove mode?). My reasoning is that it has something to do with the lock screen feature where you slide from the top to glance at the time as mine is very easy to activate. Basically in order to prevent it from activating in pockets the sensitivity was toned down.

My idea does not explain why some users do not miss any touches, but those like the ones in the videos (missing 40% of touches) are clearly hardware defects.

Of course me missing touches could also be in my head since I read all the posts prior to getting mine and it also passed the touch test app up to 5 fingers. Mines could be perfectly fine but I'm too damn paranoid about my phones.

Important to note is that it passes the touch test up until 6 fingers where it bugs out like crazy, but none of my previous phones would bug out and could handle 6+ fingers tests. If anyone who has one they believe has no issues test 6 fingers and let us know if it bugs out. Could this be also possible signs of hardware defect?

APP LINK

On a brighter note, this is probably my favorite phone I've ever used. It sort of does everything but isn't really the best at each category yet that gives it the best balance of all my other phones used (Z3/Note4/S6). Really want to keep using this phone and hopefully this touch screen issue can be software fixed.

Mines was bought from WIND, where it was apparently the last one in store. In my city, they seem to be selling out pretty fast or just low on stock to begin with.
[G4 General] HighTowerDV:
I'm using a Wind G4 as well. I just ran the app and I feel like I am in the same boat as you regarding touches. I don't always get the double tap to wake feature to work 100% of time but it works by the second double tap. Once the device is awake I don't notice it missing any taps, swipes, etc.

My results with the Touch test tool are similar to yours. Sometimes it stops as 6 and sometimes I can get 8 touches and then it stops (not f/c). I think the app is not the best as opposed to it being something to do with the phone.
[G4 General] Schmiesus:
I got 8 fingers out of mine without issue multiple times.
[G4 General] AegisValour:
I'd much rather have your missing double tap to work rather than an occasionally missing tap/swipe. Seems like we're more of the reverse of each other.

I can see what you mean when you say the app might not be the one working here, which may be true. You can alternatively try the AnTuTu one which yield the same results for me.

I am considering returning it and getting another G4, but many users have reported that the issues continued with their exchanged units. This leads me to believe that it might be better for me to stay with this one which is bearable I suppose.
[G4 General] tveith:
I received my G4 yesterday via Telus. My first impression is that the black leather back feels like plastic. I thought it would be a little more "plush", but no big deal since the phone is already in a case and I'll probably never see the leather back again ;)

After 24 hours, I must say, I LOVE this phone. It's extremely smooth and snappy. I am using the Swiftkey keyboard and so far, I don't think I've missed any key touches. The screen is scratch free, it doesn't overheat, charges fairly quickly, and is extremely fast, fluid, and snappy. The camera is wonderful and I've now set up the phone to a point where I really don't think I'll need to root / install custom ROMs. Mostly, I don't want to lose proper camera access, which was one of the key reasons for upgrading from my G3.

Although the screen quality is wonderful, I really don't see a great difference in direct sunlight from my G3. There is definitely a light improvement in overall readability, but it's not crazy different.

If anybody is looking for a nice case that doesn't overwhelm the size of the phone, go to Amazon and search:

LG G4 Case, i-Blason Prime [Kickstand] **Heavy Duty** [Dual Layer] Combo Holster Cover case

Unlike the Fosman and Moko cases that look quite similar, the i-Blason is solid plastic, not rubber, so it feels solid rather than cheap. I also bought the Moko but will use it as a backup.

I'll update this message if I start to see any problems through the next week. Otherwise, I'm a happy camper. :)
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Did your device ever have touch issues?

Sort of considering going to get one exchanged, but my branch is sold out.
[G4 General] gwertheim:
Can you unlock ur phone without switching Sim cards to another network?
[G4 General] salehmbaker:
nexus 4 (with partially not working digitizer) 10 fingers fine no problems

Looks like there are more people with touch issues

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=61254311
[G4 General] Schmiesus:
I've only had it 2 days I've only had one miss touch and that was with the device sitting on a table and it rocked on me.
[G4 General] markdexter:
Has any Canadian users received the so called update to the lg keyboard which fixes the screen issues? I'm on telus lg g4
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
Not that I know of. It doesn't fix anything anyways. It only updates the keyboard. We may already have the newer keyboard version anyways, since our model came out a fair amount after the USA.
[G4 General] markdexter:
Oh ok, so it's more than likely going to be a software update. Hopefully....
[G4 General] spartan268:
Finally received my G4 yesterday! Rogers got it to me in less than 24 hours which is very surprising.

First impressions:

Build quality is pretty darn good, it feels very light compared to my M7 so I feel a bit scared handling it. Although the black leather back really helps it in the looks department, it doesn't feel legit like everyone says. But I could hardly care less since I'll be putting a case on it anyways.

Battery I can't comment on yet since I've been doing ALOT of transferring from my old phone and extracting. I'll give it a week before judging, but so far so good. It doesnt drain at an extreme rate so that's a plus. And with the spare battery; Life's Good.

It does come with Rogers bloatware which sucks.

Still getting use to the UI. Coming from ViperOne, it's a big step in a different direction for me since I don't have all the customization I'm use too.

No screen coating issues I THINK. I tried breathing on it and wiping it. Then touching it, didn't find anything streak like except for my finger oils.

I never performed the touchscreen test at all, but it does feel like it misses every other 10th tap. It could just be me not tapping it hard enough and I'm being sketched out from all the reports. But so far nothing that I find to be super annoying. I can live with it.

Camera is absolutely BOSS. Coming from the purple M7, it feels so god dam good to have a normal camera with no purple hue.

Performance wise everything has been snappy, but this will possibly change in due time after a few months.

The only downside so far, is the music playback is pretty bad through headphones. I had an audiomod before on my M7 which really pumped out some good music. The built in EQ on the music player hardly helps at all. Everything sounds like it's lacking. After root (If it comes) this will be fixed through Viper hopefully.

All in all, no regrets in this purchase at all. And I am one happy camper.
[G4 General] Schmiesus:
LG Keyboard is brutal first thing I changed was that then the launcher.
[G4 General] Miketoberfest:
I also switched from the m7. Had that bad boy since launch. This is the first non HTC smartphone ive ever owned. I don't regret the switch even though i really like the m9. But this camera is such a huge upgrade to that of the m7.

My battery life has been exceptional. I was lucky enough to receive the accessory bundle so i haven't even charged the phone yet in the conventional fashion. Ive just been swapping out batteries. Definitely feel spoiled compared to the m7.

Ive attached a screen from my usage yesterday. 24+ hours uptime and 5+ hours sot. Very pleased.
[G4 General] bitbitbit:
Most of the Rogers stuff can be uninstalled. Did your phone come with the extra battery, charger and memory card? I noticed on Rogers' promotion page that they are giving those out but I didn't get mine.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Awesome. Def feel spoiled with the extra battery :good:

And I agree, I wanted the M9 originally since I love sense. But the camera was a deal breaker for me, after dealing with the bs module in the M7. I didn't want to go go through the same pain again.

I got mine. That deal only applies to those who buy the phone online or via calling in to their support sales line. Since I fought to change my plan via phone, and I also bought it in that same phone call, I was qualified for the promotion. If you bought it over the phone or online you can try calling in and ask about it. There should be a record of purchase saying it's from the web or phone call.
[G4 General] fivelitre:
I read online that it's sent out separately so could take 4-6 weeks to arrive? I may be wrong, thought I read that somewhere though.

I'm thinking about switching to the G4 so it's interesting to read everyone's thoughts on this phone. I have a Galaxy S4 right now (custom rom) which is getting to be a bit laggy for me. I'm one of those people who will read review after review after review of something before I invest in it, so I'll be lurking around here a lot more! If anyone has any advice to throw my way in regards to the switch, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
[G4 General] Thor_BR:
I got mine from Handtec. I thought the canadian version would come without the FM Radio, so I decided to get the international version. The only problem I get so far is the slow download speed. I get 1.5mbps. I phone Telus yesterday and although their site shows I'm well covered here in Calgary, the Customer service rep told me the coverage wasn't great here. I tried to get the LTE band from Telus (which I think it's 7), but I couldn't get it.

Apart from that, I'm pretty happy with my gold LG G4
[G4 General] spartan268:
For me it was included in the box, I guess it varies.
[G4 General] derringdo:
Has anyone tried the update mentioned in this article? Is that just the LG keyboard update?
[G4 General] force70:
Sounds like you need to set up a proper APN.

current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
[G4 General] spartan268:
Day 2:

It misses the occasional tap, but nothing major, spellcheck covers me there most of the time.

Battery has been superb today so far. 83% remaining, with 40 min screentime so far. And I've did a bit of soundcloud streaming as well, so that's a drain as well. My work building also gives me only 1 bar of LTE, so the antenna is probably pumping more than it should.

But I am slowly starting to notice a few UI hiccups. If I head into the recent apps view it stutters a bit initially. Going into the app drawer doesnt feel smooth as I think it should. But as soon as root is out I could hardly care less about that.

I DID COME ACROSS ONE MAJOR FLAW. I came to the realization that this seems to be more of a girls phone. All the colours and what not really appealed to my sister and she's like "Wow this phone perfect for a girl" :|

Asides from that. This thing is awesome
[G4 General] gwertheim:
From your experience, what are the odds of the g4 issues that people are reporting will be fixed by the new year.

Also I may have the chance to get my hands on a H815 international version, would that be better than getting the phone from rogers?
[G4 General] force70:
It would better in that you can unlock the bootloader and aren't stuck with one colour choice.

It would be much worse if you have issues and need to return for repair. They are easy enough to buy not a big deal there but its the return part that would get us if there are issues

current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
[G4 General] gwertheim:
I'm pretty careful with my phones, doesn't come out of the case for long
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Don't know if someone mentioned this but on my WIND G4, I had the option of "Enable OEM Unlock" and I saw this post.

Doesn't that mean the boot loader is easily unlocked on this variant?

I don't think anyone here has run in to a major issue with their G4 yet. Some of us like myself definitely found some missing taps. I am considering exchanging for another G4 in the next shipment at my local WIND store.

So I would hope this problem will most likely be fixed in the next shipment. That is only if this is a hardware issue,
[G4 General] force70:
Lol..ummm that would be a negative.

Haven't you read any of the info on the whole unlock thing?

Only EU non branded devices currently can be unlocked.

[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Anyone see any batteries being sold in Canada? ie. Best Buy, etc. Bell Mobility was not offering the gift pack when I purchased my phone, so I am on the lookout for a battery. I see some options on eBay and Amazon, but looks pricey and will take a while to get here.
[G4 General] gwertheim:
How's everyone's phone doing, any issues popping up?
[G4 General] impossibilium:
Overall, now that I have my Rogers G4 up and running I am quite pleased with the device. It has great battery life, but it could be even better once root hits. I anxiously await.
[G4 General] Negan:
Well this is an interesting thread. Skimmed through it and I see a lot of mixed feelings. Been using my 1+ the last year and loved it. Last week I bought a nexus 6 and kinda feel like I paid 7 hundred bucks for half an inch more screen than I had running the same ROMs. So I'm thinking of returning it for a g4 since its roughly only fifty bucks more. But it looks like root and recovery are up in the air at this point. That's also a concern. But on the flip side it would be fun to bring my craziness to this device via themes or a rom!
[G4 General] HighTowerDV:
Does anyone know if the location icon in quick settings can be configured to switch between - Location mode off and location mode battery saver? I could cycle through all 3-4 location modes via the location quick setting in CM11. LG's ui seems to always default location to high accuracy and off. You have to jump into settings to get the other modes. I usually use battery saver mode with apps like One Tap so it would be nice to set this up. ANy other app options, etc to do this with.
[G4 General] gwertheim:
I was thinking of getting the oneplus one but I'm afraid it will give me 2nd degree burns so for now, the g4 is the front runner
[G4 General] force70:
No contest between the OPO and G4 IMO...G4 is at a whole diff level.

The opo2 may give it a run ( cheaper for sure) but I kinda doubt it.

[G4 General] bustervic:
Oh man. If you could do a clean theme for the G4 it would be awesome! It's one of my major gripes coming from the One Plus and the awesome themes and uniform UI.

the only thing pushing me away from the G4 I have is the root, rom situation.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Nothing good/cheap by itself.

I would hold off for the time being. Don't rush to get a spare just yet since everything will be marked up for no reason

And there was nothing I could find for this. Even if I set it to battery saving the location icon will be colored. So there is no good clear indicator for this which sucks.
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
I've had mine for just over a week, and I'm loving it. Running Nova launcher and it's butter smooth. The camera is awesome, and battery life has been excellent.

The only issue I have come across is the occasional missing tap. I am using the SGS Touchscreen Booster app, and it solves the touch issues.
[G4 General] rgs2:
Anyone find LG Bridge and the driver for the H812?
[G4 General] Negan:
Well I don't know if you're familiar with any of my themes but Idk if the word clean is a good description but highly detailed would be one way to describe them!!!
[G4 General] bustervic:

[G4 General] Negan:
Nah I still have my 1+. And am likely keeping it. Debating if I should get a g4 cause I'm just not impressed enough with my nexus 6 so I'm provably gonna rma it. Just wanna be sure if I do get a g4 we have root and don't have to worry about a locked bootloader etc. Tbh I haven't done my homework on the g4 root&bootloader status so I have no clue about either at this point!
[G4 General] force70:
Only the EU carrier free 815 is unlockable and has root for now, no US/CAN carrier yet.

I love my nexus 6, i use it more than my note 4 lol. I loved my G2 but LG keeps up with this locked BL crap it will be the last LG device for me.

Well that sucks. I may hold off then. Gotta have both so I can tinker!
[G4 General] force70:
Yeah I was debating to order a white EU model from across the pond but if I ever needed to return it that would suck lol.

Plus if the G4 pro happens I'd rather have that...after this nexus even a 5.5" screen will seem small lol.
