If you have the unrooted system.img for your phone you can go back to unroot. I believe it is the same method as rooting except making sure when it comes to writing the command you're not writing rootedsystem.img, but just plain system.img or whatever the system image name is. I could be wrong and the kdz method is probably the safer of the two methods. Unless you mean flashing it from recovery, you can't do that.

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------

Rooted system.img work for you in the end then?
[G4 General] deadgods:
yes i used the KDZ to go back to stalk and that also updated me to the 10f. then i used the rooted system img to get root
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
Good[emoji4]
[G4 General] finneginsfast:
So I'm attempting a system dump to my internal storage and seems as though nothing is happening. Here's what I did:

Put phone into download mode

Opened a command prompt and entered the send command with the appropriate com port

Entered the system dump command

Now the phone says: "Do not unplug the usb connection until the process is complete" There's a progress bar but nothing is happening, it's been about 10 minutes now with seemingly no progress...

Am I being impatient or have I done something wrong?
[G4 General] deadgods:
i dont know what command you put in but if there is a "#" showing then its done if there is no "#' then its not done yet
[G4 General] finneginsfast:
I entered

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

and there's a "#" on the following line but my phone screen seems to be showing no progress...
[G4 General] Fma15:
Is it possible to get a custom recovery with telus as my carrier?
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
No
[G4 General] finneginsfast:
Ok I'm doing this wrong. Could someone point me in the right direction to do the system dump to internal storage?

[G4 General] mrnovanova:
I can't find the telus KDZ anywhere Stage cow from the back to stock thread doesn't have it, of the 2 links on page 51, one gives me a 404 and the other one takes me to a page that says download after I insert my IMEI but when I press download I get a blank page. For some reason XDA search is also down atm. Does anybody have a link to a KDZ 10b or 10f I don't care.

Thank you
[G4 General] finneginsfast:
Well it looks like it actually worked I think. I've got a "system.img" of 4.18GB on my internal storage now, does that sound like the right size? I guess it happened a lot faster than I expected and the lack of action in the progress bar threw me off.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Try here: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/#imei

I downloaded from it last night.
[G4 General] mrnovanova:
That's exactly the page I was on. I put in my IMEI and then pressed download but it took me to a blank page. I was able to download it by searching LGH812 in all downloads.

[G4 General] Fma15:
So there is no way for me to make a nandroid backup?
[G4 General] bitbitbit:
So you were able to use the same rooting process when you were using 10f? That's great to hear. I thought that hole might have been fixed by LG already on the new update.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Videotron's 10f KDZ is available now too. Hopefully Roger is not far behind.
[G4 General] sluma:

[G4 General] nehad.isl:
Just got my H81210f update on windmobile. My touchscreen problems are gone!! It's as smooth as my galaxy s5 now!!! :):)
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
Yeah, I used the same rooting process.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Just to verify what I have read, in order to get to 10f, I will need to revert to stock 10b, then upgrade to 10f, and proceed with the root method on 10f?
[G4 General] deadgods:
Just flasbh the kdz for 10f then the rooted img
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Ok perfect. I'll probably do this at work. Thanks!
[G4 General] mrnovanova:
Anyone care to share 10f rooted system image?
[G4 General] offall:
Same here, any Rogers 10f rooted image?

I checked [MENTION=2826966]karendar[/MENTION] 's folder and it is still the 10c image there.

I went to the same website and only Telus and Wind KDZ is there, what about Rogers one? Anywhere else it can be found?
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Only Telus, Wind and Videotron 10f roms released.
[G4 General] athris:
Wonder if anyone brave enough to flash a kdz to another canadian carrier g4
[G4 General] arbitarytwist:
Could someone please tell me what version of Android was this phone released with and what the latest is. I am trying to relate this to KDZ etc. and i am not sure how to. I am looking for a Wind phone in particular.

And also is the LTE band enabled on a Wind phone or do i need to do something to enable it ?
[G4 General] oxxshadow:
Hey guys,

thinking our buying our Canadian G4? Do you think we will get Marshmellow?
[G4 General] finneginsfast:
I saw a list a few days ago and the G4 was indeed on it.
[G4 General] munsifb:
Nah. I think you have to buy them from the grocery store. /s
[G4 General] oxxshadow:
Lol imagine that. It would be so nice to have your android upgraded when you go to the grocery store
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
For what provider?
[G4 General] Ramsey:
I don't think so. But try using LG Backup. It backs up settings, homescreen/lockscreen icons, apps. It's pretty good and it even backs up the Data of your apps, not just the apk itself =).
[G4 General] asce1992:
G4 will get marshmellow.. And probably also android N in future.. G4 is new..
[G4 General] nehad.isl:
According to slashgear... We will be getting it! (I cant post links yet but u can find the article on slashgear from a day ago)
[G4 General] karendar:
Guys... If you upgrade to 10f... And your rooted system image is 10b/c... You'll just end up downgrading your android version.

I'd do the entire OS root for you guys again, but it's very time consuming... I'll be doing the Telus variant in a few though, I'm currently downloading it. Will post once I'm completed.
[G4 General] mrnovanova:
My phone is from telus but I'll take any 10f for the H812. I don't think it matters and am willing to take chance.

Thank you

For rooted system image check post 503 in this thread. I posted it already. It's the mega link (second link).

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

Already got the rooted image done for telus. Check post 503.
[G4 General] mrnovanova:
But it says 10b
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
To make things easier...

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

It's 10f. It says that right there. I should know, I'm running 10f.[emoji4]
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Having some trouble understanding this...

I'm on Rogers, so I guess first I need the 10f update correct? After that someone has to root 10f and then I install the rooted image the same way we originally installed the rooted 10b image? Do I have to flash the 10f update manually, or can I just update through my phone? How will that affect my current root which is on 10c? Sorry for the dumb questions. :)
[G4 General] ratatouille:
Hi, is there a rooted 10f img for Videotron?
[G4 General] karendar:
You would need to update your unrooted phone to 10f with LG update, then flash the system.img from 10f just like you would with 10c... Rogers would need to release the 10f update. Otherwise, there's the KDZ flash method if you feel like flashing your phone with the Telus KDZ :) Then you flash root.

---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

If someone has a 10f system image available, there can be.. :)

---------- Post added at 05:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

I guess I'll focus on making a rooted, build.prop modded and Xposed ROM then.. :)
[G4 General] athris:
Just Tested it, you can flash telus kdz on bell G4
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
This seems interesting, maybe I will wait for a Telus version then...
[G4 General] karendar:
I thought it'd work... The G4's between carriers seem very similar, so converting a phone to another carrier is fairly straightforward.
[G4 General] athris:
Yeah. Since they are similar so I am like okay let just try it and everything work completely fine
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Yes and rogers/ mts too
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Anyone having any of the reported issues? Wind is also not selling the phone outright. Does anyone else know stores that do?
[G4 General] Brava27:
Too bad there isn't root for this yet.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Bell is, but stock is limited.

The first one I had had a scuffed screen at the top of the screen. Swapped it before leaving the store.

I'm getting missed taps when typing especially. I was using Swiftkey, but the issue seems better using the LG keyboard. LG has issued a fix for the keyboard issue that some users in other threads have reported success on.
[G4 General] sluma:
I've been getting some missed taps here and there and it's random(not in a specific area) but they are too few to notice. I'll try to type more often with the keyboard and see how noticeable it gets
[G4 General] WorldIRC:
Same...hardly noticeable. I'm sure a software fix will correct.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
After all this Rogers won't let me pay off my tab and renew. They said I'd have to go on a share everything corporate plan which is infinitely worse than my plan now (small business 70, unlimited talk/text and 5gb for $70). This is balls.
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
That sucks! That is indeed balls.

Got mine last night on Rogers w/$75 Costco card. Boom!

This phone rocks. No issues other than the occasional missed tap. I haven't had one since installing SGS Screen Booster though. I'll run that app until LG puts out a software fix.
[G4 General] WorldIRC:
Nothing new about this, unfortunately.
[G4 General] BrandonPrice31:
Does anyone notice that voip apps like Rogers One Number and Hangouts Dialer sound quality is poor? I get weird connection? This has to be software as hardware works in regular call. Also occasionally a Web page or link won't open right away even though I'm still connected to wifi
[G4 General] spartan268:
THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME TOO. Except my tab is already at $0, they just won't let me keep my plan, they're trying to force me to switch to the share everything plan of equivalent features... Which is $60 base (old plan) vs $90

Going to talk to the in person customer service guys (Not store reps, actual customer service dudes) and see he can pull some strings as he did before. Otherwise I am switching to WIND without a doubt, whether or not they have the G4 currently in stock.
[G4 General] thegregulator:
My guy said he had his hands tied. He gave too many corporate plans out and wasn't able to look after us anymore. I still have $375 on my tab but could sell my Nexus 6 and get that back no problem. I'd go with Wind in a heartbeat but no LTE is such a deal breaker for me. Can't stream NHL games on Wind.
[G4 General] Miketoberfest:
Picked up a g4 on friday. Came with the accessory pack. So far its a delightful device. No missed touches or taps. My 100gb google drive offer was applied successfully. No fm tuner. Battery life has been exceptional. Really enjoying it so far.
[G4 General] RN Eric:
Picked up my Rogers G4 on Friday as well; it's a great device and finally can use voLTE on the network.

The only grip I have is its inability to disable KnockOn as it might impact my battery life...Otherwise it's a great phone :)
[G4 General] GibMcFragger:
It shouldn't affect battery life as it can tell when the phone is in your pocket, so it won't light up the display when it is.
[G4 General] bustervic:
I picked up a G4 last night. Haven't had much time to play buy I'd be happy to answer any questions. Rogers, got a special deal cause Rogers customer service jerked me around. No battery extras and the like but instead I got it for 50 on a hup for a bus account.
[G4 General] impossibilium:
I did exactly this. Switched to Wind, picked up my G4, then as soon as I opened up a website, I realized that I had made a terrible mistake. At least where I live, Wind is excruciatingly slow, and in the downtown core it appears that the service is overloaded and unable to provide data at all! This is unacceptable to me, so I am returning it and going back with Rogers. I expected slow speeds, not under 1mbps.
[G4 General] SaHiLzZ:
Don't switch to wind.. Just buy the phone outright, you will regret switching to wind..
[G4 General] HighTowerDV:
Just picked mine up. Came to $350 + tax with the credits and $50 discount from LG or Wind. Software version is 10b.

What are people using for testing the touchscreen? How do you tell if you have any issues with it using the app? I haven't noticed anything so far with my touch responsiveness.
[G4 General] 2manycells:
So can anyone that has the Canadian G4 (H812) confirm whether it has an FM radio?
[G4 General] Miketoberfest:
As per previous findings stated in the thread, no fm radio.
[G4 General] munsifb:
Thanks for the info. I will flash mine tomorrow. Did you lose any data after flashing?
[G4 General] athris:
um... i lost the exfat support after flash the rooted image from post #503.. anyone has idea to fix that?
[G4 General] karendar:
Same thing happenned on the international version when they rooted with this method... I think 10f and root breaks extfat. Trick is to flash SD card to FAT32...
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
been reading through this thread and the whole rooting process seems soo complicated compared to what i used to do on the Samsung S4. I really want to root to get rid of most of the bloatwares but now i think i m just gonna wait till everything is at a much more stable state i guess.
[G4 General] tyfoxx:

[G4 General] ratatouille:
Use GUI format to format exFat to Fat32 by Ridgecrop. Google it, easy to find, I've used it since my Samsung Captivate.
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
You shouldn't lose any data, unless you do something wrong.
[G4 General] ratatouille:
I couldn't root my Videotron on 10f. I assumed I had to change "system.rooted.telus.10b" for "systemrooted" in the command as this was the name of the 4.18gb file I downloaded from post #503.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Is there a Telus 10f rooted img out there? I do not have the ability to use Ubuntu here at work, or else I would try to make one myself.
[G4 General] ratatouille:
I read it was Telus on post 503, but it's named rooted system.img. This is why I thought of changing the command.
[G4 General] athris:
i tried it and it work fine except it break exfat support.
[G4 General] ratatouille:
Did you change anything in the command prompt?
[G4 General] athris:
basicly everything is same except the command need to replace the file name to rootedsystem.img
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Interesting, so it is probably Telus. I guess the worst that would happen is a reflash with the KDZ. I do not have an SD card yet, so that part may not impact me as greatly.
[G4 General] ratatouille:
All good. I copy / pasted the commands to a Notepad page and it worked ok. I did not loose exFat reading though.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Is this something you'll actually do? I was wondering about this earlier too.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Not really. Everything still here.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
I made a thread about this, but I figure I could post it here too.

So for the life of me couldn't figure out how to enable tethering on the MTS G4. I have rooted my G4 but it still didn't work regardless of what method and app I used. I know from talking to other MTS users that MTS doesn't really have a way to track the traffic, and even if they didn't pay for tethering on their plans and still tethering, it didn't cost more. So there had to be a way.

Well turns out if you go into APN profiles, there is a profile called 'MTS Internet.' That is the one MTS setup for you when you got the phone. If you go into it you notice that the mms proxy is set to 'wapgw1.mts.net'

The APN profile for MTS at Howard Forums list the mms proxy as being '209.4.229.90 ' This is the one I used on my S3, and tethering has always worked for me, and I never had extra charges. There is the 15GB per month limit though.

So I setup a new APN profile with the following settings, and my tethering worked instantly.

Name: MTS

APN: sp.mts

Proxy: Not Set

Port: Not Set

Username: Not Set

Server: Not Set

MMSC: http://mmsc2.mts.net/

MMS Proxy: 209.4.229.90

MMS Port: 9401

MCC: Should be auto set to 302

MNC: Should be auto set to 660

Authentication type: Not Set

APN: Not Set

[G4 General] Azure1203:
How are you doing this with the locked bootloader? Or did you just modify a few things?
[G4 General] karendar:
I mount the image and edit it in Linux actually... But for Xposed, there's the Flashfire technique for those interested. Flashfire will let you flash zips, but it takes FOREVER to complete (40 minute process for 1 zip)
[G4 General] Azure1203:

Did you flash the 10f rooted image over top the rooted 10b? I think this is why people are losing exfat support.

Nope i use kdz update to 10f first

Quick stupid question, new to this, I have a rogers LG G4, can we flash another KDZ rom to our phones ie. Telus or Videotron?

I tried both kdz on my bell g4 and it work fine. But just to let you know that videotron one will disable lte advance. And currently there's only rooted telus img available so i would say better flash the telus one.
[G4 General] CasseTrop:
Can I flash 10F rooted from Telus (post 503) to Videotron 10F Unrooted and not lose exfat support ?
[G4 General] athris:
should be fine, i flashed videotron 10f kdz unrooted and exfat work fines, i guess this only happen if you try to flash an rooted image from another carrier base.
[G4 General] CasseTrop:
Isn't that what I will do if I have a Videotron phone on 10f, If I use a Telus 10f rooted, isn't that a different carrier base ?
[G4 General] athris:
yes so for current solution is: flash the telus kdz and then flash the rooted telus image, so that exfat and lte advance will both work. that's how i do for my bell g4. if you have a videotron phone then i would suggest flash this way( but i am not sure if there is any different between bell and videotron version, i am just assume all canadian g4 are similar)
[G4 General] CasseTrop:
Yes, I guess I'll wait a few days for a 10f rooted Videotron.

And is there any good reason to go on 10f? Is this the one with the touchscreen fix? That might be the only good thing I can think of.

Otherwise stagefright doesn't phase me one bit, already used the workaround to protect myself and textra already has it patched :)
