Any idea how we can use encryption after using this method? Trying to enable encryption just results in being stuck at the boot screen before it starts encrypting, and the only way to get out is take out the battery. Then it just boots as normal.

Unroot AT&T 10G?

Hey all,

I've been browsing around and I can't seem to find a definitive way to un-root the H810 running 10G. I rooted my phone shortly after the LER method was made available, but now I'm looking to sell it so that I can pick up the H815, and most sites like Glyde, etc. don't seem to be ok with rooted devices. I really want the H815 for the FM radio and the ability to run custom ROMs and Xposed. I know that there's not currently an AT&T KDZ or TOT file available, but I was able to download a copy of the stock 10G image. Would it be as simple as using the LER method to flash that over my rooted one? Even if I don't sell my phone, I would like to update to 10I to get the Stagefright fix. I've also read that it seems to boost the battery a bit and help with touchscreen issues. Not sure if there's any truth to that, but hey, it's worth a try. I've also debloated and deleted most of the AT&T apps. In another thread, someone tried flashing the stock 10G image and it worked, but when they tried to update to 10I, it seemed like the missing AT&T apps were making it appear to still be rooted. The comment wasn't 100% clear though, so I wanted to see if anyone could confirm all of this before I go messing with my phone. I'm coming from HTC, so all of this is still pretty new to me.

If this has been asked and answered already, a link to that thread would be great.

Thanks!

Hey Guys,

I'm running v10b-HKG-xx on my H815T variant phone. The image on it is rooted.

My phone prompted me to download and install v10c.

I un rooted the phone, using super SU's setting, rebooted the phone and then proceeded to install the update file. Once the phone reboots and attempts to install the update, I receive the following error message:

I am running textdroider, adaway and titanium. Do these need to be uninstalled when doing the update?

Anyone have any ideas? :S

Hi guys. I have an H812 variant from Telus that I unlocked to use on Rogers' network. When I first got the phone it was defective, it did not recognize the external SD card. I had still managed to root it and Install xposed. Other than the the missing ext SD everything was fine. Ended up sending it for repair. LG replace the motherboard and SD card slot. New imei had to unlock it again.

Now, when I try to root it again I can't even see my phone in the CMD window. No devices found. I re downloaded and restore installed the drivers, debugging is on and everything.

I'm on Windows 10. Might have been on 7 when I rooted the 1st time but definitely flashed 10f and re-rooted on 10 so I'm not sure it matters, just trying to give as much info as I can.

Is it possible that LG flashed something that's preventing my phone from being detected. What am I doing wrong?

Then i enter 'LEAVE' and my phone reboots to the verizon boot screen and enters a bootloop, it just stays on the verizon logo even after i pull the battery.

only way to go back to normal, non-rooted, is restoring with the flash tool. and yes i downloaded all the correct files off of this thread. im on the vs98611a version.... any idea of whats going on?? i really want to get root and get rid of all this Damn bloatware(screw you verizon).

A system.rooted.vs98610b.img would be nice to have though.

I checked twrp's site and no vzw g4 twrp is up yet. The site also says you need an unlocked bootloader to flash or "dd" twrp, so I'm guessing no.

Problem with LG G4 rooting

I have the Verizon vs986 LG G4 which I had rooted using a process similar to yours for version 10B. That worked well without issue.

I followed your instructions but this time it did not seem to write the image. The Send_Command.exe program came back with a flashing cursor after about a minute so I typed the release command and waited. Nothing. I finally had to pull the battery, but now am getting a message that something is wrong and to run a verizon repair utility.

Is there any way to push the img file using the adb.exe program so I can resend the image? I would like to try to push the 10b file onto the internal storage to get back to where I started. Or, I would like to push another copy of the 11a file.

I can still get into update mode. I can still read the ports.bat and the ports are reporting correctly. It just won't boot.

Let me know if anyone can help.

Step by step help for LG G4 root

Extract the tar.gz file you downloaded, and move the resulting "system.rooted.phonemodel.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.

Download and unzip the LG_Root.zip in your preferred location (DESKTOP)

Enable ADB debugging on your device (AKA: USB DEBUGGING)

In the root of LG_Root folder start a command prompt

Inside of LG_Root folder hold shift and right click a blank space you should see "Open command window here"

Power off your device

When the device is powered off, hold volume up and insert a USB cable connected to the PC

Wait for the drivers to install (YOUR PHONE SHOULD BE IN DOWNLOAD MODE)

Double click ports.bat (This will give us the COM port in which our device is connected we are looking for the Diag port)

You may exit this command prompt when you have your COM port number, keep the other command prompt open

Let's run Send_Command.exe (It couldn't connect? Make sure you COM port number is correct it varies)

Code:

Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4

Type "id" and press enter (no quotes).

You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root"

Run the command specified in the section below titled 'Commands to Run' to flash the rooted system image.

dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.vs98611a.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

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

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