is this going to make a difference with rooting? I remember earlier [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] saying not to take the ota because we may not be able to root if we did.
[G4 General] Tech_Savvy:
don't want to repost but looks like my post go lost in the busy thread...again sorry to bug.....jt wondering...if i get you an image for ls996 sprint lg g flex 2 5.1.1 would this method work as well? thanks for all this team does...

Gentlemen, thank you for all your hard work on this! Patience leads to good things! Hopefully, this will also put an end to all the bickering that's been plaguing this little section. Again, thank you for everything you guys do for us!
[G4 General] alton987:
Confirmed I rooted my AT&T model no issues!
[G4 General] autoprime:
flashing ONLY system image does not touch the bootloader. the bootloader is what I was warning people not to update if possible.

a kdz or ota would update the bootloader, modem, kernel and system... again.. this is JUST system.

now the only issue is... not 100% sure if an updated system image works on a non-updated bootloader. as I said in earlier posts in this thread tho.. it SHOULD work .. and if getting stuck.. a factory reset would hopefully fix that. But it will take people testing that theory to confirm or not.

either way... ALL current firmwares.. even the ones that update the bootloader are able to be rooted using this method... the only reason to old off on updating bootloader at this point is for a potential bootloader unlock.. which may or may not happen.

so.. I dont have an exact answers really.. until ppl test some things and report back. Maybe hold off until others can confirm.

ya you might wanna try a factory reset. you wont lose root.. factory reset wipes /data (youd lose everything in data and internal sdcard).. root is in /system and wouldnt be touched by reset. if you used a KDZ tho.. that would remove root.

I didn't update verizon vs986 model before attempting and probably should've backed up my old system first.

[G4 General] flamadiddle:
Answers my question perfectly. Thank you and sorry for being slow.
[G4 General] biff6789:
Did you try rebooting to recovery and either wiping cache or doing a factory reset first?

We've been watching this thread and waiting to see if Verizon 10B variants only need a wipe of some kind to boot up again after rooting. If anybody on 10B is planning to do this root, please try both those options above (try just wiping cache first since it might work and is much less invasive than a full reset).

If it doesn't work, then apparently the 11A system image requires a matching bootloader and, therefore, requires an update to the latest OTA first. But we'd love it if somebody would try this and let us know :)
[G4 General] Slicktune:
Thank you guys so much for this!!!!

Quick question i dont mean to be a stick in the mud but as easy as it is to root..is it as easy unroot? ? i just wanna know because this a phone given to me from my job...and i have to give it back in a month...
[G4 General] PalmCentro:
I just did a Verizon 10B

If you follow the instructions you will see that that is only for 11 and i did some searching and i found here the pre rooted 10B

I guess the OP doesn't want to add pre rooted images from other people.

[G4 General] antus:
I dont know if anyone has confirmed yet that the send_command backdoor is still open after an update to 10e (anyone?). I expect it will be. If your prepared to take the chance that its not install the 10e update on your phone and root with this method. http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586/ Then post up rootedsystem.img for others (or maybe everyone can save the massive download and just root their own rom...)
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
If we're rooted, with a system image that's not original to the device, will OTA stop working? or will root alone stop OTA?

If I try to check for an update, it doesn't find one. And it says last time checked for update is bck in July. This never changes. So I assume root breaks something with updates?
[G4 General] antus:
Does it say last time you checked, or updates last installed? My rooted optus phone (root injection, stock carrier rom method) says no updates available, but also says last update: 14/08/2015 which was about 2 weeks after I rooted. The LG RCT tool does report that it knows Im rooted, too. Having said that, I dont expect updates to apply correctly without unrooting first.
[G4 General] S3V3N:

[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Ah yes, it says last updated, my bad. But still, I haven't got an update for a long time, so I assume root is preventing it. Wonder if I should return to stock, check for updates, then root my own system image.
[G4 General] KL643:

[G4 General] takeoff342:
so i think u have installed the V10E :D

Can you make please for us autorooted System.img to Flash? That would be great SEVEN, so we all can enjoy it and have root :D

i say thank in advance.

[G4 General] jasonzarko:
Root will only prevent it from updating when flashing from stock recovery. Other then that you should still get the notification that there is an update and be able to download it.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Anyone know what suffix this is? ATWNLD

Does flashing a rooted system image from another device change the suffix? I could have sworn mine was different before rooting.

Software version says TWN (Taiwan) as it was originally.

EDIT: I checked again and I now have the 10c update. Guessing I need to remove root before I can install the update. How do I unroot?
[G4 General] PalmCentro:
SuperSu has a option for full unroot.

H81210F rooted and Stock System Image.

Hey guys,

I made use of this post to root my wind H812 when It was on 10B but then could not update straight and clean even after unrooting to 10F I ended up needing to use LG Bridge while in Download Mode to push the update through. When I did this It gave me a version of H81210F with no branding in it (wind just includes a single app). Here's the resulting stock and rooted Images.

Theory is this should work for all H81210F devices as long as you don't have a need for the carrier branded software. Myself I can only so far guarantee it worked for Wind.

how i can root 818p ???
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
So how does LG Bridge do the update? I installed it, connected my phone. It found an update and said it was doing it. The phone rebooted, but not into recovery. it rebooted back into Android and said it was preparing the phone for update. When it got to 100% it did nothing. it was never in recovery mode at any point.

I unrooted with SuperSU. The KDZ download link isn't working so I can't flash it manually.
[G4 General] Shadicbypass:
It uses download mode i think. You should get some updating screen on the phone.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Ok, so it seems to have updated, even though I didn't see it in any download/recovery mode. I'm on 10C now, the latest for mine. Just need to root again now. Might root my own image to keep it all stock.
[G4 General] Daelus:
What I did was boot into Download Mode and let LG Bridge do the update from there, when I got back in I was upgraded and unrooted.

I see it worked straight from fully booted? Pretty interesting.

Edit: will post on the Q&A topic.
[G4 General] chavocarlos:
I readed some answers and understand that root with this method doesn't prevent or receive and install OTA updates, but don't understand about the risks. The only risk is loose root or the risk is to brick the phone during the update? If the first, isn't a real risk, simply root again or wait to a compatible root method for the new firmware version.

Somebody could confirm me please.

EDIT: For root with this method I need a Linux (Ubuntu) PC for inject root, Windows won't work, right?
[G4 General] Schrotty35:
I have buy a LG G4 and have make Update to 10D. Can i root 10D or only 10C?
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Since the update is signed by LG it can do anything. It might not only remove root but also patch the exploit we use to get it (and others we haven't found yet) so we wouldn't be able to get it back. Bricking isn't likely but they could deliberately brick it if they wanted. Also whenever someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader, you want to still have an older version that the exploit will work on, not an updated version that's already fixed it.

Right. You can use VirtualBox or a live USB to run it without installing it or replacing Windows.
[G4 General] chavocarlos:
- LG G4 H815 have official way to unlock bootloader, but I think is a good idea keep locked to avoid loose warranty.

- Unroot the phone before install an OTA would be a good idea to avoid presumable brick risk right? Unroot removes any trace of previos root right?

- When you say: "wouldn't be able to get it back", you mean back to rooted state ... but we need to opt to keep root or keep firmware updated (in future Android M).

Thanks for your reply, is a little difficult to understand and express completely due english is not my native language.
[G4 General] RenaKunisaki:
Right, an update could both remove root and fix the security hole we use to get root, so you'd be stuck with no way to root it again.

I think unrooting won't remove all traces. It would only remove the files su, superuser.apk, etc. The G4 actually has a little program "rct" (Root Check Tool) which keeps hidden logs when you root.

Probably you would have to restore a full dump of the entire eMMC that you made before rooting. KDZ might also work.

[G4 General] steelew:
Thanks,thats good to hear. PS I wasn't trying to sound like a jerk. Hopefully I didn't.
[G4 General] Daelus:
I don't mean this as rude just as a point of fact. But you do not seem to be following the instructions properly. This article has no pushing of files via ADB. You copy the rooted images over and use dd to write them... This is very dangerous. If you try to use dd and send the wrong image to the wrong place you can hard brick. So if you want to try this you should keep that in mind while you read and understand every work in the op.... :( If you have any trouble understanding anything said in the OP you should wait for someone to give you fool proof method which does not have these same risks.
[G4 General] Medizinmann:
Hello,

as already said there is no adb command involved in this rooting method and SuperSU is already included in the rooted system image.

The first command looks good and should either work or brick your device - when nothing happens I would assume that the rooted system image isn't in the right place to start with. Did you copy it to the root of your internal SD?!

Greetings

I was on 10b, flashed stock "H81510C_00.kdz" using LG Flash Tool, then I did the root using "system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img".

I still lost exFat and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it back. Does anybody have the exact stock kdz to match with the rooted one?

I'm assuming that's what I need? I thought it just had to be 10c to 10c rooted.

Which 10c firmware did you flash before flashing rooted 10c? Because it didn't work for me.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
You lose exFAT if you flash a system image that's not original to your device region. Yous should ensure you use an image that is specific to your device.

You should flash the kdz then root your own system image using :http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

Too many people are flashing random roted images with no idea of their origin.

There seem to be several different paths. The Taiwan variant for example is on 10C which is the latest. but the European devices are up to 10F. but from an Android level, they are at the same build number etc. It's just different carrier updates that make them different.
[G4 General] mxpxboi:
Thanks for the reply. There has got to be someone who can upload a KDZ and a rooted IMG that are the same that I can just flash instead of doing that. It's just about the firmwares matching right?
