Go a few pages back i already posted a link where you can download the 32 bit or 64 bit version of the visual c++ redistributable package needs to be installed. It is odd tat you are getting that error on windows 10 though because all the ones up to packages up to c++ packages up to 2015 are supposedly to be built in to the os.

HI. I followed all the steps but ended up stuck at boot logo :(. Is there anyway I can fix it? Thank you.

My phone model is T-Mobile H811 10H Version.
[G4 General] crdnl.:
Don't worry, I'm in the same boat as you.

Sprint variant. Followed down to the letter, stuck at the LG (powered by android) logo. I'm completely clueless.
[G4 General] Medizinmann:
Thums up you finally got root.

I did achieve it the day before yesterday by using the autoroot method.

I can assure you you did no harm to the hardware of your new LG G4 H815.

Flash memory got a lot better over the last 15-20 years - the times are over when you had eeproms or flash memory that surely died after a 100 flash cycles or so.

Finally got root successfully in my LG H818P 10d (not carrier purchased).

I'm a noob and I have few questions in my mind:

1. What happened I accidentally (or intentionally want to) get OTA update in the future? (beside losing root), will errors happen (or even soft brick) due to different patch in system partition or what?

2. In my device, is it enough to disable OTA update via Settings (Settings > About phone > Update Center > Software Update > untick Auto-install update)? or I really should debloate some related packages (http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/how-to-prevent-updates-g4-t3148650)

3. With TiBa, what packages should I freeze to disable OTA update?

4. To unroot, can it be fully unroot from inside SuperSU? (without restoring back the system image or flash the KDZ file)

Thanks
[G4 General] Medizinmann:
1. Nothing should happen besides loosing root and potentially loosing the ability to root again!

2. Right now it should be enough to deactivate OTA in settings.

3. Well maybe have a look at the thread of the debloating tool

4. Yes should work - but to be 100% sure I would flash a clean KDZ before any RMA - besides I wouldn't send in a phone with any personal data on it!!!

Greetings

Thanks for the useful reply Medizinmann.

Anyway, if I update via OTA, can I still be able to get root back by downgrading using KDZ or flash the system image (using non-updated system image)?

Don't use this on US AT&T H810 10b

Just a warning to everyone not to apply this root on the H810b yet, or at least, tread carefully. I stupidly thought I could apply the 10g root onto my 10b but got a security error. Tried to restore the system backup I made earlier but that didn't work. Tried to fix it by applying H810PR but that didn't work. Phone is bricked unfortunately. Waiting for an AT&T tot. Tried the normal flash and the Cse flash but nothing is working.

Any way to upload files into my phone using Download Mode? There is supposedly a rooted 10b system that someone has posted but I can't get it into my phone while it's bricked.
[G4 General] phineous:
Flash the H810PR KDZ. It's the only fix till a TOT is available.

I posted and rooted H810b image a while ago. It's linked in the second post.
[G4 General] neo_lithic3K:
I tried H810PR KDZ multiple times -- both normal flash and cse flash, but it still doesn't work. I can only see the LG logo but nothing else. Then I tried to do a factory reset but that didn't work either. I know many others have flashed H810PR KDZ successfully. Yup, I saw the H810b image... I should have used that.
[G4 General] phineous:
There's a point when flashing the KDZ that it looks like it's hung up but it's not. If your drivers are installed correctly it should work. Give it more time and see what happens.

CSpire LG G4

I have a CSpire LG G4 AS991. I was wondering if I use the U S Cellular files or does a different set of files need to be used to gain root access.
[G4 General] neo_lithic3K:
Thank you for helping me to troubleshoot this. Greatly appreciate it.

This is what happens: I run the LG Flash 2014 and somewhere at the beginning, I get a "connection to server failed" window which I ignore and move to the side without closing the window. The percentage on the LG Flash Tool increases and it displays "S/W Upgrade is in progress." My phone is also showing the percentage increasing. Eventually the LG Flash tool goes to 85% and it reboots my phone. I leave the USB connected to my phone. While phone is rebooting, the LG Flash tool continues to go to 100%. Eventually, the LG Flash tool displays the Exit button but my phone continues to go into a boot loop.

I've done this about 7 times on 2 computers. I originally did the flash a few times on my Windows 10 and the LG Flash tool did crash at around 100% when it reboots the phone. Then I tried it on my Windows 8.1; no crash but continues in a boot loop.
[G4 General] tabp0le:
I suggest creating a system.img to inject with root. It wouldn't be worth the risk to flash the wrong one. If you provide me with a dump of your system.img I can inject it for you.

Perhaps slightly OT, but should we start a new thread for updating everyone on the progress of the bootloader-unlock hack, or just transition to it here, once there's progress?

I did see autoprime's post about one phone being bricked :(

Wishing the devs better luck on it soon. Definitely enjoying root, but would like to have recovery/nandroid backups available, and I see potential for new features in custom ROMs... ;)

No pressure, just throwing it out there. Thanks for the excellent work thus far!
[G4 General] Shadicbypass:
Yeah me too can't wait for custom recovery for this phone
[G4 General] Medizinmann:
Hello hikku13,

right now this should work, but we can't be 100% sure that this will always work in the future.

We don't know what LG plans and they might disable a downgrade in the future - like i. e. Samsung did.

Right now I would disable OTA and wait for a bootloader unlock and rooted custom roms.

Try this (worked back on my G2): When it starts the reboot at 85%, unplug the phone. See if it completes the reboot into system successfully.

VS986 (LG G4)
[G4 General] sheamolt:
Worked great.

Backed up system image. For the VS986, run

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

. This would replace step 7 of the original post.
[G4 General] candreasen:
Wow I completely missed this, thanks for releasing this, I see from this thread I'm far from the only one who was waiting on root, and couldn't have pulled this off myself but knows plenty to use a root like this, and is very excited to do some messing around once I get it installed. Thanks guys!

Oh right, [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] / others uploading rooted images, just an idea, but with something somewhat risky like this, could we start including md5 hashes or something in case of botched downloads?
[G4 General] Shadicbypass:
Completly agree we should have some md5 hashes for all the img downloads
[G4 General] ghepardus:
img are in tar.gz format, so if is some thing wrong with archive you will have problems on unpack the img.

PS: On windows you have 7zip to verify the tar.gz :)
[G4 General] Shadicbypass:
Oh yeah i forgot about that because i have the h815 sea variant and the rooted image for my phone was not compressed
[G4 General] asaf400:
The guide should be modified to include a final optional step:
[G4 General] Shadicbypass:

No, Xposed is not yet working on any G4.

Thanks, yeah I searched, didn't see anything that it didn't exist, but on the other hand I didn't find anything that said it did. Found that it is working on lollipop, but didn't see any specifics on G4 so I had to ask. Thanks again.

The problem is that there is no way to get selinux into permissive before the os is fully booted up. It can be changed temporarily when the os is booted but by that time it is too late for xposed to work

Problem with 'ports' to find COM Port

Just got my LG G4 after swapping out my S5.

Attempting to Root and ran into an issue at my end.

I'm at the step where I'm double clicking on 'ports' after connecting the G4 in dl mode so I can see what COM Port I'm on.

I get a message in the window stating:

I got the drivers working before I read your reply. Thanks for that suggestion though.

Now I just have to be able to access files in the Command window.

Edit:

Root Success :)

Originally I got the couldn't 'access files because of security' message because I entered the Send_Command.exe incorrectly.

I needed to enter a space after "exe" and before " \\ "

original prewarning instructions for F500L flashing rooted system.img 10w over 10a.

Some have been able to successfully boot their devices using H815 10b kdz but loose or have faint signal strength.

So here's where I need help backing up my modem(s) before hand.

I've tried LG bridge to restore to stock as well as other LG support tools to.no avail.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

We need complete partition backups or original f500l 10a.

In downloadmode using send_command.exe we can backup but need to figure out bs, skip, count for each partition.

Some have mentioned that we can flash h815 10b and boot but signal stregth is bad. Here at least we can connect to the phone and copy the img back ups of the original and restore them.

Anyone care to help with calculations or share backups of originals?

What partitions are absolutely nessesary?

[G4 General] AvivEliyahu:
it keeps bootlooping my device. using H815L

ill write what i did and please help me to understand cuz i dont know where im wrong.

*drivers installed

*file system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img is already in the root folder of my LG G4

*using windows 10

1. press shift-mouse right click and 'open command window here' - at the "lg root" folder.

2. type " Send_Command.exe \\.\COM3 "

3. gets a message , and a standing "#"

4. writing ' id ' gets the long message like in the TOT.

5. pasting " dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 "

6. waits for # to show up

7. once it does, writing LEAVE

8.phone reboots

9. lg logo

and thats it.. anyy ideas how to "flash" it right? (i got the KDZ so i get back to stock and keep trying it over and over)

[G4 General] biff6789:
Are we 100% sure about this? Has anyone been able to successfully flash this on Verizon 10B? Since this root method doesn't touch anything other than /system, it seems it should work without having to upgrade to the full OTA. Perhaps a simple clearing of cache or maybe even a factory reset after applying this root will allow you to root without having to take the update. Anyone willing to try?
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
TWRP only works with this method for T-Mobile.
[G4 General] flamadiddle:
I thought these files were carrier- and build-specific. Am I wrong? All I see for VZW is 11A.

[G4 General] flamadiddle:
Ah, got it. Thanks. Still waiting for clarification on VZW 10B vs 11A.
[G4 General] autoprime:
yes tmo phone is unlocked.. entirely different bootloader than the others. their boot images arent even signed. bootloader isnt unlocked/locked.. its 100% open.. it doesnt know what a lock even is. no other variants are like this.. and no u cant flash tmo bootloader to your phone.

as for the people getting hung up at boot... have you tried a factory reset? if you're not on the exact sw version that's being flashed.. it's possible some app data is causing conflicts. Wipes are sometimes needed after an OTA.. this would sorta be like that.

I havent read all the posts but i see some verizon users got hung up unless flashing to 11A first... im curious if a factory reset thru the "recovery menu" would have fixed this without a kdz flash to 11A.

and for those that missed it.. IO put up an ATT img. Looks like someones uploading sprint.img now (yay, thank you)... and we'll have the rest of the variants up hopefully soon.. h818n/p.. etc..

Anyone else having this issue?
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
You don't run that command from a command prompt. You need to enter it in the files you need to download after running the send_command.exe.

Sounds like a driver issue. I had the same problem on my Windows 10 machine. had to use my Win8 machine and it worked.

You need to run it from a command prompt. Not double clicking it.
[G4 General] flamadiddle:
So theoretically, the root method in the OP should work just fine on VZW 10B and won't update the BL to 11A?
