If you actually bricked it, a system.img will do nothing. Unless you still have it on your phone's internal sdcard, which you obviously don't since your asking for it here. You are SOL until we get a .TOT.

Thanks, my upload is taking forever! I'm still at 2.2/4.2 gigs. Out of curiosity, which version of the AT&T firmware are you running? I'm on H81010g (didn't block the sneaky OTAs soon enough) and have a feeling that a different rooted system.img won't be compatible with my phone.

Are you doing this in download mode per the OP? Your adb prompt seems to indicate that you're not in root mode ($ instead of #). Be sure to follow the directions on the page where you download the lg_root.zip file (linked in OP).

hello there,

I have my h815 (Hong kong version) v10b, can I use h815 v10c EU version?

or tell me how to dump the system file?

what is the correct count number?

[G4 General] mfun89:
Where are you seeing twrp?
[G4 General] bendsley:
Go to SuperSu --> settings --> default access set to GRANT (you can change this back to PROMPT later).

Reboot.

Same issue I had before. One of your widgets or applications that seems to be able to work in a rooted mode as well is having issues. Play Store was giving me fits too. This is how I fixed it.

Also, one of my widgets, like Weather Live was giving fits and wouldn't refresh on my screen...removed it, rebooted after doing what I wrote above, and added it back. All is well now and Play Store works just fine.
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
Guys, you DON'T NEED to be on 11a. Read the OP. Read what others have posted. You can use the 10c files posted.

I was on 10b and I rooted using this method. No need to go to 11a unless the dev has specifically said it is required for your device. It is not required for the H815.
[G4 General] bendsley:
TMO version has it right now. By default, you can enable OEM Unlock in developer settings (yes, the other variants have it too), and it just works on the TMO version for some reason without an extra ****ery. I used flashify to install TWRP...lo and behold....it frickin' works!

I used that app and it worked for SMS Backup Pro but titanium still won't use my SD. Did you do something else?

[G4 General] rfarrah:
After running the app successfully, did you reboot and restart TB from scratch before trying it again?
[G4 General] biff6789:
Glad you got Titanium Buckup to work. I had a similar issue with it saying "not enough free space" whenever I tried to run a backup even though I had 30 gigs free on my sd card.

In case anyone else has this issue, the official fix is to do the following: Navigate to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and then add the following line to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission: "<group gid="media_rw" />" then save the file, set perms to 0644 (rw-r--r--) and reboot.

Yep, thanks for the explanation and details. I mostly care about root luckily, since I goofed up and updated to 11A already. :\ While there's a few ugly or annoying things, I find the overall default 5.1 OS very acceptable and easy on the battery if you don't leave crappy apps running.

Is there any way of verifying the backup img before I proceed to root so I can be sure the backup is working in case something goes wrong during rooting?

There seems to be a difference between the size of my backup and the rooted image:

Carrier locked h815 (poland, plus gsm)

Hi there,

i'm starting to think i've made a huge mistake that after my nexus 5 died i turned my head towards G4.

As my H815 is carrier locked, i can't unlock bootloader. My software version is by now V10b-260-01 (LMY47D)

I'm flashing addict with history of htc and nexus 4 and 5 and as I'm LG noob (ok nexus was also lg... but ;) ) I kinda don't really know all those kdz stuff, i get the idea but I don't want to mess things up digging.

Am I correct that this root method works onlu on V10c version and not on mine 10b carrier based?

Are there any steps that could provide me at least root? AT LEAST TO CHANGE dpi (without issues, the right root way)?

Maybe I can flash KDZ with 10c-EUR-xx from somewhere? Or will it simply refuse to be done, or brick my phone?

I'm fully familiar with low and high level developing, and *nix environment, so I can do stuff myself if anthing could be done ;)

Yeah, I don't find it difficult, at all. My worries are about "starting the process". If I should use 10c procedure on my 10b version OR if it's safe to flash EUR 10c KDZ over my carrier based (260-01) 10b software :)

Hi, Thanks for the guide, I also watched Tk's video explaining everything!

And, I would like to buy the LG G4 But I'm confused about something..

I'm currently an Int. S4 I9500 User,

on Samsung's side when I gained root, and flashed a rooted rom (in my case 'close to rooted stock') I've lost my warranty on the device,

with that, if I need to RMA it for any reason, and it's still functioning, I would just boot up 'Triangle Away' reset my flash counter, and imminently after that use Odin to flash an official signed stock Samsung rom,

and Ba bam!~! I can RMA with no signs that I've used the device with a modified ROM..

Now on the LG G4 Intl. that I really want to upgrade into, the first root methods that I've found required me to 'unlock' it's bootloader with no way to reverse it..

Meaning Root for the LG G4 is a one-way operation, which Breaks the warranty.

but here, i do not even see a mention of the word bootloader..

Could someone help clarify my misunderstanding of LG phones root methods?

Up until now I've dealt with rooting old HTC's (like Desire [1st one] and Hero) and Samsung's I9300 S3 and I9500 S4...
[G4 General] Medizinmann:
Did you try it?

I mean he didn't unlock the bootloader - he just flashed recovery after allowing oem unlock with flashify.

Did anybody try this on a H815?

Greetings,

Medizinmann

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

The official method needs an authorized unlock by LG and you loose your warranty.

This method doesn't even touch the bootloader and only injects SuperSU by flashing a modified system.img

[G4 General] androidbotz:
To the goods folks of XDA need some help/advice with regards to root for the LG-H815 SEA (10b). I understand from this exploding thread that the SEA variant is rootable with a rooted.system.img 10c international (EU) BUT it sort of decimates the exFat file system for the external SD-Card for those on SEA variant.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] has been kind enough to explain that during his testing a mismatched boot.img and system.img caused the exFat to break. The solution provided was to either get the exact rooted.system.img for our current version of software (10b in my case) or try a matching boot.img for the 10c Int’l EU.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] has also provided a link to a guide in which one can root almost any firmware version for the G4 by injecting root to the system image -

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62097182&postcount=446

Though, am feeling a little adventurous here but not before I iron out some of my doubts with the android gurus here.

1	It is mentioned in the above link step #21 “Then enter password for root permission” what does that mean? What password is the OP referring to?

2	The dd command remains the same for H815 SEA? dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=55296 count=529920 of=/data/media/0/system.img

3	Lastly, where can I go wrong or rather, what can go wrong and will flashing a KDZ file help in any situation if phone is rendered semi-bricked or simply, bricked?

I am hoping that someone with enough knowledge of injecting root to SEA system.img will be able to assist us with this process or perhaps, guide us through with this rather tricky endeavour – at least for me.

Thanks & God bless.

The method DOES NOT RUIN you're ROM, SuperSU is intstalled and it does recognize an 'outdated version of the binary',
