Hi Guys, still looking for a way to Unroot with the stock image I backed up. Can anyone give me the steps and commands to do it? Or confirm that you were able to do it as well?

Thank you!
[G4 General] Almighty1:
It's basically the same as the first post of the thread except rename the backed up image file to the same filename as the rooted image and follow the same directions.
[G4 General] ProFragger:
Finally a response! Thanks bud. Question, which command to execute?

And, do I need to prep in any way before doing it? Like remove SuperSU, unfreeze bloated apps, and etc? Can someone please report they've done this successfully and safely?

Thanks!

With TMO, is WiFi calling still supported after this "low effort" root method?

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

I have the TMOUSA H811 10n too. Thanks for letting everyone know you had success.

Do you still have WiFi calling after this root method?

Hello guys,

I wanted to root my G4, but i don't know which command i should use. I don't want to guess the command and brick my phone.

Good day all, is there a problem with the AT&T H810 10G Version download? Every time I download it, it will not extract or is "unsuccessful". I've tried to download on my phone, tablet, and windows computer and was unsuccessful. Please help. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

Have you checked the first page?

Use what is on the first page. International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features):
[G4 General] GrabkaMan:
Yes, I did. And it says: H815 10c. And I have the d version. That's why i wasn't sure. : )
[G4 General] Swarai:
I would search the difference between the C and D version. I've used different versions on my phones before and it worked.

I flashed the rooted image of 10I for my AT&T H810, and today for some reason it is prompting me for a Security Software Update. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing on theirs?

Edit: Apparently my phone tried to automatically update overnight to 10o. When I got up this morning, I had the good old message stating that my phone has been suspected of rooting and updates won't work.

Low effort root actually soft bricked my phone, so I had to restore it to stock 10n. Then I flashed a pre-rooted stock image and installed TWRP, Wi-fi calling works perfectly on the ROM I used.

Actually it was fairly easy. I used a pre-rooted image by following the instructions on at the first link below. Then I used the second link below to get TWRP installed.

[G4 General] ndd53:
thanks for the reply, but that brings up another question. I always thought that an apk had to be installed before it would run, so it doesn't seem like doing anything to LGDMSClient.apk (like renaming it) would prevent updates. neither app manager nor titanium backup show that particular apk as being installed, so I'm a bit puzzled. could someone explain how, say, renaming that apk would prevent updates?

I'm on a rooted Verizon LG G4 with 11A software and it seems 12A is rolling out. 12A supposedly has a few fixes such as touch screen issues which have been plaguing me :(

I'm new to rooting and curious how I would go about installing 12A? Thanks :)
[G4 General] MrBiggzz:
Woozzy101 from everything I've read in this thread, all the disasters. IMO you should revert back to your stock level 11A and then take the OTA once that is in root to 12A.

I've seen quite a few people here crash and burn trying to jump levels. I'm far from expert level, more intermediate. To me that course of action seems safe!
[G4 General] QuickNET Tech:
Hello, just upgraded to the Sprint LG G4 today and was curious if this method still works for the newest update.

Model: LS991 (Sprint)

SW Version: V6

Build Number: LMY47D (most recent)

Thanks! ?

EDIT: I just noticed in the dev options that there is an option for "Enable OEM Unlock" can this be used to unlock the bootloader on the Sprint variant like it can for th T-Mobile variant?
[G4 General] MrBiggzz:
I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. Check out this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3205640

Just get the rooted Z6 image from there and substitute it in the command. BECAREFUL!
[G4 General] QuickNET Tech:
Is there a guide? Also, what about the oem unlock in the dev options?
[G4 General] MrBiggzz:
If you compare the flash command in this thread to the command in that link you'll see they are identical with the exception of the file being used.

I would use the method the OP started and substitute the file name when called for.

As far as the OEM unlock I'm not really clear on that. No one has said boo about it either way. I would imagine this is why the phone gets put into "download mode. " I could be really wrong but that's my take on it.

[G4 General] Almighty1:
If the .apk is in /data/app or /system/app, it will be installed when the phone boots up since a .apk is just like a .exe file. So renaming it to anything else as long as it doesn't end in .apk will basically do the same thing as disabling it. It is installed in Titanium Backup, it's listed as System updates, there are two of them and it's the 2nd one because you need to click on it and then click on the yellow and it will tell you what the exact file is.

Can someone please advise me on which is the latest image to flash to root? I have the H815T V10c-HKG-XX with a 64gb microXDHC card.

I've tried to read through the whole thread but I just get more and more confused. Apparently the H815 international image works on the H815T and V10e is available now (which is newer/better than V10d?). I see that V10b is available for the H815T, but I'm guessing I'm better off flashing a newer version of the international H815 like v10e? What do I need to do to make sure my SDcard works?

As a long time visitor here and having rooted many devices here I tend to wait out the initial rush and try to ensure that there are minimal unexpected scenarios in the future. Regardless of all this I do plan to contribute where I can. I saw this thread and while I won't be using the steps for root I will get the latest untouched system partition since my device is brand new and I updated to latest AT&T LG G4 firmware yesterday. I don't have any immediate plans to root this device so in the future I may be able to get further system.img updates as needed.

What is the ATT latest version

Help!

I'm trying to figure out what the latest available rooted AT&T version is for the H810 hardware model.

Can anyone help me, I've tried to search but it's really hard to find wear you don't know to look for.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm on the version from OP

1010o is the latest version and the rooted image is 2 pages back. I just flashed it and all is just fine!
[G4 General] chief1978:
Thank you for your help, I am downloading it now.

However I have 2 final questions as there is so much conflicting info.

1 - Do I have to un-root my H81010g, allow it to update to 81010o via normal update, then apply the rooted version (this seems about 80% of people saying yes!)

2 - Do I use the exact same command from OP? "dd if=/data/media/0/rom.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=579584 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0"

The numbers don't change do they?

I really do appreciate the help.

Thanks, do you know if all LG G4s in Canada (H812) are the same minus firmware?

I plan on taking my Wind G4 to Koodo, and I'm thinking of flashing the Rogers ROM on it since Rogers seems to be the most up to date in terms of OTA out of all carriers.

Do you see anything bad possibly happening?
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
My understanding is they are all identical with the exception of Rogers VoLTE.

Are you saying you are unlocking your phone from the Wind network to use with Koodo instead and then flashing a Rogers image to it? If that is in fact your plan then I would advise against it. You should always use Wind as your base. Only when flashing injected root images does all of that stuff not matter. Let me know if anything is confusing.

Also what build are you on?

VS986- just got OTA to 12A (from 11A). I now have both rooted and stock 12A images available. I'm happy to share but have no file sharing service that can handle this size (just over 4GB).

[G4 General] DrRichardQuack:
I gave this method a try and it worked exactly as described. Thanks to all involved in devising this method.

The one major downside: I'm now unable to encrypt my device.

I have the Verizon variant. As soon as I initiate the encryption process, the phone reboots, I see the green Android guy on a white background for a split-second, and then the phone hangs at the red Verizon boot screen indefinitely. I gave it several hours and just pulled the battery because it was clear that nothing was happening. And given that when I pulled the battery and powered-on, everything still worked, it seems that the encryption process never started (or my phone would have been half-encrypted and likely broken).

Has anybody managed to get encryption to work on the Verizon variant? Killing or otherwise disabling the SuperSU daemon seems do the job for devices that don't seem to need to restart to begin encrypting.

Is this need to restart specific to Verizon's ROM?

I'd sincerely appreciate any help with this, or other ideas to try.

Rooting G4... just got a surprise update though.

Hey folks, I just got my G4 a month ago and I'm completely new to rooting.

I was following this thread, which linked to this one: http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772 .... The other day I checked my software version and it said H81010I, so I got a little worried since it wasn't G.

I then found this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62664473&postcount=35 which linked to the 'I' rooted image, but I was still worried about performing the root with the same settings.

The past few days my phone's been bugging me about doing an update, which I've been ignoring. Unless I did it when I was blacked out the other night, I don't recall performing it. Regardless, somehow it updated itself and I'm now on H81010o, and slightly more terrified to do the update. Is it safe to do with the current instructions or will I obliterate my brand new phone? Am I S.O.L. until one comes out for the O revision? Or will flashing the G revision be okay?

Gonna put this on ice for now. Thank you so much ^_^.
[G4 General] jesssiii:
Oh, Duh, thanks! I'll upload the stock 12A overnight then, in case anyone wants it. And I'll post the link to the rooted later, when I'm at the computer.

I've enjoyed my G4 so much I hadn't even really needed root. I rooted my Razr M to try and gain performance because it was getting old. I appreciated the unlock/root on that so I donated.

Today LG G4 got the 12A update, and now that there are quick easy ways to restore to stock I finally took the plunge to root. Thank you for the work. I don't know how much ppl were offering as donations for the effort, I gave each person a few bucks. Before I had a need so I rooted, this time I rooted, in case a need arises but I still appreciate the effort, work, and time put in for the method.

I used http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586 but basically the same method, except it showed how to extract my own image, as a backup, and to inject the root myself. Wanted to donate to the source.

For those of us on VS98611A (Verizon variant) who have already rooted 11A, what's the process to upgrade to 12A?

Is it necessary to unroot first (e.g., using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848 )?

Or can we just accept the OTA, expect it to be applied successfully, and then use the same method to root on 12A?
[G4 General] Almighty1:
All you really have to do is:

1) Flashfire the xposed uninstall to uninstall Xposed

2) unfreeze the OTA apk

3) rename the backed up stock 11a system image file to system.rooted.vs98611a.img

follow the instructions from post 1 of the thread you are reading for rooting except revise the following steps:

3) Download the appropriate files for your phone from the section below, the only thing you need is LG_Root.zip, do not download the rooted system image. Make sure to grab the Send_Command tools (named LG_Root.zip below)

4) Move the resulting "system.rooted.vs98611a.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.

Then assuming all is done correctly, take the OTA so 12A works. After that, then you can inject a working rooted system.rooted.vs98612a.img file once again using the same instructions as post one of this thread and basically substitute the system.rooted.vs98612a.img file in the instructions, it's basically reversing how you rooted since you are flashing a stock image.

Everything is working great, but when I try to manually install the 12a update using the software update, it says there is no update available. Anyone having a similar experience? I am just wondering if I need to be patient for the update, or if something didn't flash right.

[G4 General] dcorrea:
Jessii,

Are you saying that you had 12a already installed and then you used the tool to revert back to 11aa resulting in a brick? I think that happened because 12a updated the bootloader preventing a bootloader rollback. I can say that I successfully rerverted back to 11a using the tool after trying to flash your rooted image. I imagine thats because your image did not update the bootloader.
