Trying rooting lg g4 h818n v20c..

THANKS FOR SO CLEAR AND SIMPLIFIED STEPS.. ITS BEEN A WHILE ON THE XDA PLATFORM.. I WAS USING IPHONE 6S PLUS FOR YEAR. BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO MORE LIKE ON ANDROID. AND I MISSED YOU GUYS.. NOW I GOT LG G4 H818N V20C VERSION AND ITS BEEN PAIN IN MY... YOU KNOW WHERE.. ITS IN WARRANTY. I BOUGHT IT IN JANUARY-FEB.. AND IT DIED IN OCTOBER.. I WENT TO LG CARE.. AND THEY REPLACED THE MOTHERBOARD AND PANEL...

SINCE THEN I AM GETTING A PATHETIC BATTERY BACKUP OF 2 HR SOT AND 6 HOUR OF NORMAL USES WITH BG DATA OFF AND LOCATION OFF AND WIFI OFF... I THOUGHT ROOTING AND CUSTOM ROM MIGHT HELP.. BUT .. SINCE 7 8 DAYS.. I AM SEARCHING FOR ROOTING TECHS AND CUSTOM ROMS.. BUT IT TURNED OUT ANOTHER PAIN IN .. YOU KNOW.. AS LG G4 HAS SO MANY VARIANTS.. DIFFERENT MODELS WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS... I WAS ABOUT TO QUIT AND PUT MY DEVICE ON SELL .. BUT THIS POST LEFT ME WITH SOME HOPE.. LETS SEE WHAT CAN i DO ? ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED..

[G4 General] Gr8mobiPro:

[G4 General] yossijoe:
No need to smash it.

Just FedEx It to me :laugh:
[G4 General] Gr8mobiPro:
@ Yossijoe Are you serious? Bcoz i am willing to sell it.
[G4 General] Knowbody42:
If you don't have a variant with an unlockable bootloader, you can only root on 5.1.
[G4 General] Gr8mobiPro:
How to go back to previous version? I am tired of trying searching.. i searched so much that now for every search i have to enter capcha to prove that i ma human :laugh:
[G4 General] divineBliss:
You can use LGUP if there exists a kdz file for your variant of LG G4. .......... no capcha required, but you can thank me :) http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803 Maybe this will help :) .......... http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/H815/ or this http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/

Just wanted to check/confirm that you rooted an Australian model (H815T) with v10h on it?

Any issues so far? And did you use the 10c International version?

Thanks so much!
[G4 General] falle21:
No issue, works perfectly. Use international, but I use the ROM for locked bootloader, you can find it as Genesis in the development thread
[G4 General] thedunnyman:
Thanks mate!! And also thanks for the BL-Lock ROM - didn't even know this existed!

I would like to root my G4 H810 but in this thread just H810 is not listed. Just H81010 var. Will anything cross over to vanilla H810 to get it rooted?

Did you manage to root the Genesis ROM? Which command did you use?
[G4 General] ALI EHTISHAM BUKHARI:
for h818n?

I have h818n...what should i do?

should i follow the same procedure and commands?
[G4 General] larsdennert:
Exactly. I unblocked and took 11A on the Verizon version before rooting. FYI to people, the prerooted supplied image is double archived. extract the tar from the gz then extract the img from the tar. This is prevent scanning on the server.

Interestingly, I had asked [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] whether he was working on an emergency bootloader exploit early on as it is a good method on the qualcomm chipsets. He said "no" that he was working on an app based exploit. Here we are with a BL exploit that is somewhat more refined than the moto methods. In my experience, mixing versions on partial flashes doesn't work well. IE flashing one system image with different boot images.

In any case, good job guys and thanks.
[G4 General] jaxbierley:
Rooted on sprint! Easy as pie
[G4 General] xuatto:
Same here on Sprint. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!

When I type in id after entering com3 is just flashes a underscore I tried Com4 but that gives me id# then #d
[G4 General] jimlightner:
My version is zv4 should i take the update before i root?..
[G4 General] AhsanU:
After clicking on ports from the LG_Root file, it should tell you what port your G4 is connected to. Are you sure you're using the same port number where you see LGxxxDIAG1? Mine turned out to be port number 9.

But in any case, I have root! And I'm happy now :) Thanks for the team that did this! Donations are on their way.

Now to unlock the bootloader.. hmm! :)
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
It only gives me 3 and 4

I will try when I get back from work tonight
[G4 General] grimjeeper:
Silly question, why extract anything?
[G4 General] dch921:
Very easy and simple root method. Enjoying root in my Verizon VS986.

Thanks
[G4 General] Mr.Miyagi555:
So its safe to take the sprint update then root correct? And Only tmobile has the unlocked bootloader?
[G4 General] DrewS85:
Man idk what I'm doing wrong. I'm on the Verizon G4 and I follow the steps all the way to the "id" part and when I put id and press enter the cursor just blinks and nothing happens. It just sits there.
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
I have the same issue and I know that I'm using the right port. This is killing me
[G4 General] pettigrew95:
Do you guys have your G4's in download mode? If not shut the phone, hold volume up, while holding volume up plug it into PC and wait until the phone turns on in download mode. Then run the Send_Command.exe \\.\COM# (COM# is the COM your phone is). Then run id hit enter and it should work now.
[G4 General] JDROIDS:
Thank you so much [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] for this work. EDIT: Got it! VS986. Thank you!
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
Oh ok lol I will Def do that when I get home. Thanks
[G4 General] officerdoofy:
Thanks again to the developers for releasing this. :)

Can we delete the file we had to move to the internal SD after we're done?
[G4 General] DrewS85:
Yeah I'm in download mode where it says Firmware Update. I ran the ports.bat file and it shows my phone is on COM3. So I used the command Send_Command.exe \\.\COM3 and I get the # symbol. Then I type in id and press enter and the cursor just drops to the next line and blinks and it just stays blinking.
[G4 General] pettigrew95:
There's 2 COM ports that show up for your phone. Are you using the one that ends with DIAG1?
[G4 General] bendsley:
Of course

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

When you use the ports.bat file, it will show two ports in use, use the bottom one.

If it doesn't show 2 ports, you're doing it incorrectly.
[G4 General] crdnl.:
Expect a full mirror of all of the files in a bit. Should improve speeds some.

EDIT: Re-read the post, there's small text in there that states not to mirror the files. :crying: I'm asking the dev for permission.

h81021y

Hi,

Anyone tried with the h81021y variant yet?
[G4 General] yossijoe:
it works on all g4 varients but you need to be on a rootable firmware & have a rooted system image
[G4 General] d00mz:
Since that version is marshmallow, you're screwed.

you need to have a rooted image with the EXACT version as you have.

the one in OP isn't 10o

if you don't find an image I can try to help you make one
[G4 General] frostwildfire:
Hello mate, I did some research and will try to make it, if I can't will scream for your help.

[G4 General] Orioncol:
I did all the things described here, but, yeah, it's old, i have an 815P, with Marshmallow, the method described in this post isn't working, when you put 'id' and hit enter in the next line says 'FAIL'.

The other method you shared, won't work for me either, because I have the bootloader locked, so I cannot install TWRP, so yeah, LG **** up all, also I have the big cores problem, right now I'm using the phone with one core active, I need to root the device so I can run an utility that enable all 4 cores of the first group.

Anyway, thanks for the information.

Regards.
[G4 General] kessaras:
you only need to do nothing and send it back to lg and tell them what a marvelous job they did the year 2015 when they released g4. its lame to not be able to unlock it , to have a stock phone with stock firmware and only have one core out of 6 running.

yeah g4 can only be unlocked if lg sends you the unlock.bin

H815 here

I've got the H815, with software version V20L, marshmallow.

I've tried flashing TWRP in order to root, but now it seems I have to root before I can flash the recovery...

Could someone point me in the right direction? Can I root with any of the marshmallow methods?

Do I need to find a specific root for the specific version of marshmallow, 20L ?

There are so many g4 rooting threads it's quite overwhelming, any info threads would be very much appreciated :D

cannot create an image

Hello all,

Having trouble in taking an image. Followed all directions, in download mode, yes...drivers are installed in windows etc. After I put Send_Command.exe \\.\COM with proper port it responds with the appropriate text. Now when I put in id after the #, it gives a fail. Always it spits out a fail and never anything else.

Tried on 3 different computers, all same result.

Anyone have the same issue?! Canadian bell phone H81220v. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch
[G4 General] yossijoe:
literally one post above yours
[G4 General] mountainsnow:
Where did i say root?

I said nothing of that, I'm asking about a system image only.

So YOU are saying I cannot take a SYSTEM IMAGE?
[G4 General] yossijoe:
I believe the answer is you can't
[G4 General] mountainsnow:
Thanks for the response. I've seen no where on the internet a sentence stating 812 people are not able to take a system image so that is why I was asking here about my issue. It might be burred in this forum and I have not read that post yet however in not finding such I attempted to do that image for my own archival purposes.

So for any other canucks out there, on your 812 you CANNOT take a system image.

do i need to downgrade from MM to Lollipop to root or i can directly root from MM using Lollipops rooted image. Thanks!
[G4 General] mountainsnow:
MM --> downgrade to LP stock image --> flash LP root image.

Just did this a couple hrs back.
[G4 General] OGIGA:
No need to downgrade to root. The way I have been rooting on MM (20o, 20p, 20q) was to use adb to boot to bootloader, fastboot oem unlock, fastboot boot twrp.img, and use TWRP flash/install SuperSU.zip (or other root method). Seems like writing TWRP to recovery partition isn't necessary, but can add convenience later.
[G4 General] mountainsnow:
That seems to be the subtle issue. Many lg g4 variants having different methods of rooting. For me in Canada the twrp etc cannot be used. I should have asked the person what phone variant they do have first before offering specific method advice.

I noticed it only lists 10x series US991's, which is why i ask. Also note that this phone is factory unlocked i think, as it works for both CDMA and GSM. I dont want to brick another one.

Hello!

After a motheboard replacing by the LG assistance I've just rooted my H815 thanks to the author's thread, ( I did a downgrade to lollipop before).

Is there a way to upgrade to marshamallow without loosing root? And without unlock the bootloader?

I'm asking this 'cause LG doesn't want to release me the UNLOCK.BIN cause checking the IMEI it seems to be a H955 model's.

It's very strange! Could the 2 motherboards be so similar to each other to be installed on a H955 or H815 model???

Thank you in advance

Thx
[G4 General] yossijoe:
as said many many times in this thread this root doesn't work on marshmallow
[G4 General] tw10:
well it wasn't so much "THIS" root that I meant...I can simply ADB root having unlocked it.....it was more to the question...would it be advisable to rrot it now or better wait until they make NOUGAT available to the lg g4
[G4 General] Flegias:
Thanks for clarifying.

In the meanwhile I contacted LG support in my country (italy). They told me that something went wrong with the IMEI cause it matches with a H955 (lg flex2) one.

I should return my phone to them. :(
