rooting the marshmallow update

Does anyone know if this root method will work on the marshmallow 6.0 update( tmobile 811h).Im not that computer savy and I really cant afford to mess my phone up.I would even pay a more experienced person to do this for me.Any takers?
[G4 General] yossijoe:
No

You can unlock your bootloader though

[G4 General] Fednandlers:
Hello there, I don't know anything about rooting and the process of it but I bought an LG G4 LS991 (Sprint Android 6.0) thinking that I could unlock it for T-Mobile just to find out (While reading a bunch of other threads) that I would have to downgrade to 5.1 if I would like to unlock the phone. I tried to search the forum but I don't know where to start or what to do. I was reading some threads about downgrading but I can't clearly understand the terminology. If someone would point me out to the right direction, I would appreciate it. Just to be clear, I would like to downgrade my phone (LG G4 LS991 Sprint 6.0) to be able to unlock it for me to use it on T-Mobile (Domestic). Thanks to all. Keep it up.
[G4 General] Grunt321:
With Quadrooter being out there I could imagine, rooting Marshmallow without unlocked bootloader will be possible (for many phones, including G4)?

No DIAG1 on LS991

Hi, I'm trying this for the first time with a Sprint G4 that has Android 5.1. I've reached the step where I'm using Ports.bat to find the COM ports but I don't have a DIAG1 COM port. I only have these two:

Serial0 COM1

USBSER000 COM3

When I run Send Command and try "id" (without quotes of course) I don't get a response from either, just sits there until I hit ctrl-c. Would anyone have a suggestion I could try? Thank you in advance for your help!
[G4 General] yossijoe:
Have you installed drivers?
[G4 General] LurifaxFlux:
I have followed all steps, yet on step 6 I get "FAIL" as a return.

Can anyone help? I checked and COM4 is the right one.

Rooting under Marshmallow requires an unlocked bootloader; that is only available for the H811 and the European versions of the H815.

For your phone, root is only possible if you downgrade to Lollipop.

root works but can't flash TWRP?

Dear all

Had a roller coaster ride flashing the rooted imgs all day today, having succeeded on 2/3 occasions without problem following the instructions on first post, but everytime I try to flash twrp, be it twrp manager /flashify, or throuw adb/fastboot, it does not work:

[sorry my first post! the image does not show but is at: http://tinypic.com/r/i6f43d/9]

I am at my wit's end ... would someone point out the obvious thing that I must be overlooking that others are obviously overcoming?

I have a H815 MM which I have successfully downgraded to 10b/10d roms on two occasions using LGUP and then following the instructions in this thread to root which worked perfectly... BUT afterwards, trying all forms of flashing twrp out there all failed....

any ideas would be most appreciated!

I read over everything, followed it to a T, and used this link -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62115644&postcount=1249 to get the canadian varient as I'm with Rogers... and still nothing... when I'm at the firmware update part or "download mode" its at 0% it just stays there and in the box there is some type of code "633A B100"...
[G4 General] yossijoe:
Because your bootloader is locked
[G4 General] ewong3:
thank you yossijoe for your quick respons.

that's disappointing... isn't the logic of:

1) downgrading from 6.0 to 5.1 using LGUP; and

2) flashing the rooted system images on to the phone (as per this thread)

enough to unlock the boot loader? does this mean we have to find another way to unlock what should be now Lollipop bootloader on the H815? any pointers would be life savers!
[G4 General] yossijoe:
If you have a Eu h815 you could unlock it here

Share my experience with this root

I got a H811 with software verson 10d from ebay.

Tried this method and got a hard brick (qhsusb_bulk 9008, no download mode at all)

Having rooted and installed several ROMS on a few devices (Original Sammy galaxy, Moto

Atrix, LG G Pad and LG G2), I thought I would be ok. I've bricked them all but not hard brick

so i was able to recover each and every tiime.

But I missed a small issue which turned out to be a killer on my G4.

I followed TK's instruction for G4 root here and on youtube to a T.

1. First error I got was after installing the image (*81110h.tar.gz) in step 9 of the post was 'Security Error'

2. Then I used LG Flash tool and installed 10h KDZ thinking i could go back to stock.

All i have now is a dead brick now. Download, recovery, IMEI mode (press all 3 buttons) are not working.

Seems like its a corrupted bootloader.

I think the orig post should have mentioned to install 10h KDZ first so the rooted image (also 10h)

will be compatible. my bad for not thinking this through also but never expected a hard brick.

my 2 cents.
[G4 General] yossijoe:
Op clearly says to use EXACT firmware version.

Feel a little bit sorry for you though
[G4 General] leeh97:
Sent it back to LG service and will my fingers crossed.

Not to whine too much but the prerequisite for using the EXACT version should have been put front and center,still my bad for missing it. Got a little too careless after rooting

Several other phones. Seems quite a few people have 9008 problem. Also seems this phone is particularly prone to i. Androidbrick seems to offer little help on the g4.

Went out and got last years zenfone 2. Unlocked, rooted, TWRPed and installed CM13, in under 1.5 hrs. Should have started with this phone to begin with.

[G4 General] diedmatrix:
Hi,

i just tried to follow this guide but i am stucked at the step after putting the divice into download mode and check the com ports and send the command "Send_Command.exe \\.\COMx" because there is no diag com port listed, neither any other of the device. Also adb devices not showing any device.

If i boot the phone up normally, com ports (and diag) are showing up and adb devices is also showing device connected.

In download mode i have a device called LGE Android Phone with uninstalled drivers left in my windows device manager? In normal boot up its showing up under Connections (COM &LPT) as "LGE Mobiel USB Serial Port (COM6)" - this port is also showing as diag port when i run the port cmd line in booted up mode.

I used the USB Driver Version (lg-usb-driver-v4-1-1-0) from the povided link here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

What i am still confused about is the difference beetween root and bootloader unlock and what are they used for? Never had to unlock a bootloader in the past on my GalaxyS1 and S4, so what is the difference here? With a locked bootloader i would be able to install a recovery (wirst i have to root for that, right?) but then i would prevent me from isntalling a new rom(cyanogenmod)?

use 7-zip to extract! :)

[G4 General] DavidinCT:
I know this is a ULTRA dumb question but, I just don't know the answer.

I want root to be able to enable some features but, nothing more at this point. I have my phone EXACTLY where I need it otherwise. This will nuke the phone back to factory, right ?
[G4 General] yossijoe:
No

What makes you think so
[G4 General] dilligaf56:
Rooting it won't.

Unlocking the bootloader (if you have the European version) will.

Unfortunately, the carriers everywhere else have made that impossible for the rest of us.

For that reason, next time, I think I'll get a Nexus phone...though the G4 is the best-quality phone I've had to this point.
[G4 General] DavidinCT:
Again, dumb question, I know unlocking a Windows Phone device, just needed a 3rd party app installed(some models). As I said a dumb question because I just didn't know. It's cool, no biggie, nothing that cant be set back up in a hour or so...

I am fairly new to Android (6-8 months) but, never rooted, Was really big into custom roms back in the Windows MOBILE days (6.1 /6.5) but, it's been a while.

Nah, US Verizon version of the G4... I have Unlimited data and it would be really nice to use the hot spot feature with out having to pay $30-40 more a month (already paying $50 for data). I wont use it a lot but, there are times where it would be nice to have.

Over all, its' a nice phone, slick, nice screen and a perfect size, the leather back makes it feel premium and it's got wireless charging (that I love)

I was hearing that I can downgrade from MM (and of course lose my data), and then root it this way, then install a custom rom (with out all the carrier BS apps would be nice, something I MISS from Windows Phone)

If you root, does it affect Tap to pay, or any of those "so called secure" features ?
[G4 General] dilligaf56:
You should be able to downgrade to 5.1 with the 13B version (check this URL out, I'm using his rooted stock ROM - debloated, includes the working hot-spot capability, very clean). I also have unlimited data, and use the hot-spot several times a month.

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/vs986-rooteddebloated-t3256814

Android Pay does NOT work on a rooted phone. Have looked at a number of so-called ways to make it work, but it just doesn't. Someone I discussed it with at Google says it has to do with the banks assuming that anyone who roots their device is a hacker....in any case, I can live without it. The advantages of being rooted far outweigh that small negative.

Please clarify this for me. If I install a MM ROM on my bootloader locked H815 (US variant) currently running rooted 5.1 stock will I later be able to install another ROM or will that be a dead end? I know that I will lose root. It seems like this is a dead end device as far as development goes with a locked BL which is very disappointing with such good hardware. Should I just accept a stock ROM? Will it receive OTAs? Should I give up and by another phone with unlockable bootloader? I have read in this and other forums extensively and have not seen this issue directly addressed.

Thanks in advance

Hi! first of all thanks for this awesome guide. I have only one question to make sure I'll do the correct steps: I have a LG G4 H-815 ( so it's the international version ), with SW version V20g-EUR-XX, Android 6.0. Is my version correct to root my phone? cause the 3rd quote ''Commands to run'' says 'If your phone isn't running the EXACT firmware version specified, you will need to OTA to the proper version to root.'. Does this simply mean I need to verify it's the h-815 international version or something more specific ( like build number or other things )? Thanks a lot for the help and time!
