Hi guys, just to double check, for the LG G4 SEA Variant, do i download the International H815 10c Version of the tar file ?

Edit: Also, the link in post 2 for the SEA variant .img doesn't seem to work anymore, it says, 'Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist.'.
[G4 General] JJones45:
can i still get root on AT&T H810 10o?
[G4 General] Almighty1:
You have to have the backup of the unrooted 11a image either you made yourself or get from another source. KDZ would obviously work.
[G4 General] GenghisKhan67:
Anyone manage to root or flash a rooted image onto the Videotron H812 variant? TIA!
[G4 General] Shadicbypass:
You should be fine using that img. I would recommend you inject root into your own system img though.

Confirm it worked on my H815P (Mexican Telcel). Thank you so much!! :good:
[G4 General] Waleedaligomaa:
congrats i have got h815p too

can you guide me through the files you used ? thanks <3
[G4 General] AdventL:
Guess I'll give that img a try, injecting root into my own system.img sounds trickier /:

thanks!
[G4 General] wolfman66:
If I use this method to root my phone, is it still possible to get the bootloader unlocked so that I can flash TWRP recovery. I would naturally request the unlock code via the LG Website but my model is the H815P - will this request work if I follow the correct instructions and submit via the LG website as they state that only the H815 is supported?

I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much in advance.
[G4 General] Shadicbypass:
That variant of the g4 does have to the ability to be bootloader unlocked at the moment.

Can somebody help me?`

I got everything right and checked it 2 times. I've done all the steps (1-9) and everytime I press enter after copying the code nothing happens :/ My phone will reboot normally after I typed "LEAVE" and everything's working, but I'm still not rooted. See I've done this procedure earlier and it worked like a charm. Then I went back to stock and I'd like to be rooted now again. I'm running the international code for my international G4. The first time I did it it took a while and the screen on my phone was "in progress". Now there's just an immediate "#", no waiting and nothing on my phone. Any help would be highly appreciated :)
[G4 General] Knowbody42:
That would suggest either your image file is not in the right place, or you aren't using the right name for the image file.

[G4 General] brooklynite:
Hello Everyone!

Thank you OP for putting together this GREAT DETAILED instructions! I was able to root my Verizon LG G4 and I am currently using it on Cricket.

I have a big issue though.

Superuser SU menu pops up when I want to grant super user permissions to an app but the buttons GRANT and DENY do not respond to tap. Its like the app is frozen. I cant uninstall the app either to reinstall it.

Again using a VZ986 phone., USA Verizon LG G4

What am I doing wrong here?
[G4 General] oCandyRaino:
Try to update supersu or just reinstall it altogether might just be a bug when it got installed.
[G4 General] polfrank:
I tried this method on another LG device, but after the dd command I get immediately a # and nothing is written in my phone. The values of dd command were calculated by me and the root injection were done manually by me. The device drivers have been installed properly and LG Flash Tool can successfully flash a kdz file. I got the unrooted system.img by extracting a kdz and it's size is 2.9gb. When I check the storage info with Link2SD on my phone, it gives me a 2.4gb system partition, so I don't know if this is a problem. Also, I am using the correct COM port, checked with ports.bat and USB debugging has been enabled. What could be the problem?

[G4 General] brooklynite:
Thats the issue, I cant uninstall it or reinstall it. I can't uninstall with another app like titanium backup or detele the super su apk with root explorer either because all those apps need root access to uninstall system apps or delete the apk and I cant GRANT any app those permissions because the screen is unresponsive. Here is another person having the same issue: http://www.ez-pg.com/super-su-request-unresponsive.html

On another note the WIFI does not connect to our office WIFI which is 802.EAP and requires our corporate username and password. Connects once but as soon as it disconnects it never connects back again.

Battery drains super fast, I have 10% in 4 hours by noon. I cant install any greenify type of app that needs root again because I cant GRANT anyone root access.

MMS does not work (VZ986 rooted using USA Cricket AT&T based SIM).

Screen brightness is just ODD, too dark and LUX LITE just added a useless menu that doesnt doo anything. The screen just brightens and darkens on its own. It must be using the front facing CAMERA instead of a dedicated light sensor because the screen brightness changes when Im in the car and driving, while background images change behind me like trees but room ambient light does not change enough to justify sudden 40% change in screen brightness.

HOT SPOT doesnt work. It sends me to Verizon signup thing.

So far not a great experience.
[G4 General] Bill Gamble:
You're using an app that covers your screen with an overlay (Lux, etc). Either disable it or put SuperSU in its exception list.
[G4 General] brooklynite:
Yep, it was the useless LUX app. Thanks now I can GRANT or DENY permissions.

Can you please advise on how I can freeze the Verizon hotspot police from popping up? Heck Im not even on Verizon. My carrier Cricket also should not know Im using hotspot.
[G4 General] boxa72:
I actually wouldn't mind knowing the answer to this either. Does anyone know? I can't see why you couldn't :confused:
[G4 General] nortish:
I can't post links but have a look at page 167. There's a mega-link.

Then use this command:

dd if=/data/media/0/system.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Worked fine for me [emoji3]
[G4 General] oCandyRaino:
Glad you got it figured out for the most part pal
[G4 General] brooklynite:
Actually got the APK replacved and hotspot now works too,

How to Enable Wi-Fi Tethering:

Step 1: Download and Install Root Browser on your device.

Step 2: Once done, Download and Copy the HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk to your device

Step 3: Navigate to the place where you have downloaded the Apk file and Cut/Copy it in order to move.

Step 4: Now Navigate to ‘/System/App/HotspotProvision’ and rename the HotspotProvision.apk to HotspotProvision.bak.

Step 5: Navigate to arm64 sub folder and rename the HotspotProvision.odex to HotspotProvision.bakdex.

Step 6: Now Copy the HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk file to ‘/system/app/HotspotProvision’.

Step 7: Long Press the file and Select Properties > Permissions, change the value to rw-,r-,r (644). Save it.

Step 8: Close everything and reboot the device.

Step 9: After the reboot, Navigate to Settings and Open Mobile Hotspot and Enable it to see whether it is working or not.

Step 10: Enjoy!

[G4 General] wolfman66:
In settings, I can select the option to allow oem unlocking, but when I use the LG website and attempt to request the .bin file to unlock the bootloader, the website recognises my device as an H815P and returns a message that this variant cannot be unlocked. At this point, there is absolutely no method to unlock and unfortunately I will need to wait and see if LG relents and allows unlocking on this variant in due course. I really want to flash TWRP recovery in order to do nandroid backups.

Not working for ATT

After flashed this rooted Rom, end up with 2 error messages:

"Unfortunately, System UI has stopped"

and

"Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

The good thing that I did a backup before to try this method.

So now my phone need to be root, nothing there working for the 5.1 so far.
[G4 General] Dr.Weed1:
How can I backup my original stock firmware?
[G4 General] dtective:
Root first then perform a nandroid backup from TWRP.
[G4 General] konradsa:
Yes, if you modify any system files, you will probably have to go through the PC application. And you will most likely have to re-root after the update. Regular root apps will not be erased, but something more intrusive to the system like xposed will probably be wiped out and needs to be re-installed.

Hi there,

The link appears to be dead. Any chance of reposting? Or, better yet, do you have a pre-rooted image for V10d-SEA? Thanks in advance for whatever you can do!

Edit: OK, it took me several hours of trial and error to follow the instructions on injecting root, but I've rooted using an image of V10d-SEA. It will take me a while to upload, but I'll hopefully be able to post a link in the a.m. if anyone is interested (obviously use at your own risk!)

[G4 General] brooklynite:
Hi Guys,

How do I get rid of the SIM error in the top bar? I am using a VS986 rooted with this method and on US Cricket network. I prefer not to install XPOSED, it really crashed my S5 real good, too many bugs in the amazing modules.
[G4 General] petermg:
I don't think you can get rid of it. I tried this but ended up staying with my AT&T H810 version. You can't enable band 17 on the Verizon handset so it doesn't work the same as the AT&T/Cricket network phone. I was able to force LTE via a hidden menu, but no one could call me and I could not call out. I could only get HSPA/HSPA+ with calling on the Verizon one using my Cricket SIM. So again, I went back to my AT&T H810 G4.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

I actually tried quite extensively to activate all bands and even tried tutorials using files they claimed were banned from XDA, but I guess it's just missing the hardware for the correct band or either it's also missing the correct radio firmware to use it, in whatever case, I ended up not using my Verizon G4 on Cricket, although there are some who are doing it and just living without 4G-LTE.
[G4 General] brooklynite:
Thanks for the explanation. The differences for me are huge:

LG G4 on Verizon is being giving away for free.

LG G4 on AT&T costs $500+ (I dont have one)

On Cricket for me

LTE is about 8mb/s

H is about 3.8mb/s

4G is about 0.04mb/s (unuseable)

3G dont know how to get on 3G to test.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I am surprised you have not tried XPOSED if it bothers you that much. It doesnt bother me as much but I see it more and more daily.
[G4 General] petermg:
Or just sell your Verizon one and get the AT&T H810 ;)
[G4 General] brooklynite:
I doubt I can get a good IMEI phone. Anything on Craigslist will have financial obligation and may get banned in 2 months or have insurance claim as stolen. I am afraid I will end up wiith a brick.

[G4 General] calchung:
I have rooted my H815T with V10B by this "Low Effort Root", I would like to update to V10C without losing root.

Can I just flash the V10C Pre-Rooted System.img to my rooted V10B H815T? Or do I just have to update to V10C first by LG Bridge or OTA, then flash the V10C Pre-Rooted System.img to obtain root again?

Thanks in advance for answering.
[G4 General] petermg:
Yes I can remove them no problem. I will back them up first with titanium then uninstall them. If you're getting errors make sure you have granted it super user permissions in the super su app.

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

You must update. If you don't you'll get boot loops or possibly soft brick your phone. Can only flash a rooted system image of the same version firmware you're already running.
[G4 General] calchung:
Thanks Petermg.

Can I just update to V10C by OTA?

After I updated to V10C by OTA, so my phone is not rooted anymore? And I have to repeat all the rooting steps, is that correct?

Thanks a lot for your reply.
[G4 General] petermg:
I'm not sure because I'm on Cricket and so I don't get any update notifications at ALL. I'm still on 10b. But if you aren't getting the notification via system update check option from your handset, you can install LG Bridge and try to do an update that way, BUT, from what I have read, you have to UNROOT your phone or the update will fail at 4% saying "ROOT SUSPECTED". And people UNROOT their devices by dd'ing the original system.img file back to their system partition (if you made a backup).
