I think that in the afternoon I'll finish a prerooted v10(d) system.img using the inject root script aforementioned.

So in case you loose root, I'll upload it for you and others (if anyone does it before me) :)

[G4 General] asaf400:
I've tried that trying to figure out why any rootedsystem.img I flash does not accually comes rooted...

I dont think I've said that i've pushed busybox...

In other Non-LG phones, the rooting 'package' includes all of those: SuperSU, su Binary, and Busybox..

On the LG it's Just SuperSU and a defective su Binary that magically can be updated through SuperSU to gain actual root access..

Some files in there are not Relevant, I've just used the autoroot method which was posed here on my system.img..

Okay to root with 5.1?

Hello,

I first started w/ Droid Incredible --> HTC Rezound --> Samsung Galaxy Note 3. However the lack of removable battery and the lack of MicroSD has driven me into the arms of the LG G4. Liking the phone so far, but I am new to all things LG so please bear with me.

I just got the LG G4 yesterday and need to verify that this rooting method is appropriate for my phone.

Android Version --> 5.1

blah, blah, blah (should I post Baseband or Kernel versions?)

Build number --> LMY470

Software version --> VS98611A

Now, I note that my software version matches those in the first post. However, considering the date this post was originally made, I wanted to be sure that I would not be rolling back to Android 5.0 by flashing this system image.

Can someone confirm?

Thanks!

is there a way to get the 10d update for those who haven't received the OTA? Will we still get OTAs if we're rooted?

[MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] are you more info about Recovery for LG G4?
[G4 General] r4Rok:
Recommended, if you want to install the latest update. Just check, update for your region, install it via OTA/KDZ, then inject root to system.img, and finally push the rooted.system.img back to your device. Stay updated always.

Custom Recovery won't be possible, until bootloaders are unlocked on all or (some) G4 devices. ATM, it's only H815 with unlocked bootloader that's having custom recovery.

Don't forget the TMo H811: apparently its bootloader was never locked.

boot loop after google cardboard

I rooted with this method days ago. I didn't do anything with it yet but today I was messing with google cardboard and when I tried to exit the app my screen went black. I had to pull the battery. It rebooted and tried to optimize the apps but then went to black again and had to pull the battery... rinse and repeat. I was able to get back into the download mode and I luckily didn't delete the system image so re-imaged(dd)with it. It rebooted and it seemed to get farther alone with optimizing apps. It rebooted a couple times doing so but the last time it rebooted it went into the same problem of dark screen and needing a battery pull.

[G4 General] centran:
Tried that and was messing around with different things. I now believe I messed up my system image and don't have one anymore on my internal memory. Researching I discovered it isn't possible to mount the sd card. Looks like I am screwed.

Does anyone know if it is possible to flash a KDZ from a different variant and if it would boot? Then upload the correct system image and re-write the correct system back? I think that would probably really mess things up because I am guessing the KDZ flash is more then just the system correct?

Yes, this would mess up a lot of things.

The .kdz also contains things like baseband, boot.img and recovery.

Best way is to get the official KDZ from LG and flash it to get things straight again, then i. e. use the inject root script and create a fitting (rooted) system image.

Greetings

Medzinmann
[G4 General] centran:
Thanks. I am familiar with that post. The problem is that the sprint lg g4 (ls991) does not have nor will ever have a kdz. The only method that it might ever have is a tot which is not out yet and is a big guess as to when or if a tot will ever be released.

Given that Sprint stores do not have the tools to re-flash these phones and how locked down LG has been recently I am guessing it will be a very long time if ever before a tot for this phone is leaked. It will need to be leaked by someone at LG or someone will need to figure out a way to reverse engineer the protocol. If Sprint had the tools I would give it a higher probability of getting leaked but they don't so we need someone at LG which is a bit more higher paying job and thus people might not want to risk losing their job over leaking a tot.

I think there should be a further warning in the OP that states some of these phones do not have a way to go back to stock yet and your are SoL and would need to return the phone if anything bad goes wrong. Right now it says you can easily recover from a bad flash and that just isn't the case for some phones. I really appreciate the efforts put into this root and the fact it was released without the method they hoped for but without an emergency F-up fix this method should not be done on some phones variants... Once again, I had this root running for several days and did not do anything like freeze apps or mess around with files like build.prop. I didn't do anything yet and only ran the root. Then I used google cardboard and my phone rebooted into a boot loop. (the phone was rebooted several other times to that). There are several people on the sprint focused section who have had to return phones or desperately waiting for a tot. There needs to be a warning about these phones. People should not be rooting them yet.
[G4 General] sudman:

[G4 General] chadderbox:
Anyone have any issues with the phone not recogizing an SD Card after rooting? I know that Autoprime tweeted that you can lose exFat support after doing so and you need to flash the matching boot.img. I have the H10 on 10g so I don't think I can flash anything like that?

[G4 General] centran:
Update on my status... This morning I prepared to go to Best Buy and turned on my phone to make sure it was still not even making it to the Sprint logo which it didn't but to my surprise was trying to optimize apps. It got to 3 of 7 and then froze. I left it for half an hour then pulled the battery and rebooted to download mode. To my surprise the internal storage had rebuilt itself somehow and I had a 4gb system.img file so hope was not lost. Rebooted the phone and it was down to 5 apps and it started up again! However soon crashed at setting it up. After crashing a couple times I flashed that system image it placed and it rebooted fine. However, I discovered I had no mobile data :(

After playing around for awhile I was able to update the PRL and profile then mobile data came back.

So for anyone that "bricks" a Sprint LG G4(LS991) hold down power + voldown and keep holding till you get to recover. Factory reset/wipe. Plug it in and reboot and hope when the screen goes dark that it is doing something. Go to sleep. After several hours try and reboot. If it freezes at optimizing apps pull the battery. Otherwise use System_Command to get in and do an ls -l /data/media/0 to see if you have a 4gb system.img. If you do then run then run dd if=/data/media/0/system.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=557312 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

but for the love of god only if you have that file there and the thing doesn't reboot or wont stop crashing. otherwise leave it alone

Then after it reboots and setup go into settings -> System updates and grab a new prl and profile. Good luck!

I don't know what little tech angel came and sprinkled fairy dust on my phone last night but thank god! I guess when the screen blanks out all hope is not lost because it is doing something... i think... i don't know... i have no idea how my phone is working again!
