Root with unlock bootloader on MM ??

Hye everyone!!

Just got a new LG G4 after a bootloop problem. So my operator just echange mine to a new one.

I need to root and install a custom recovery for my everyday use, but my new phone have a v20e version.

So I decide to unlock the bootloader with the LG official method and seems to work.

So I have a LG G4 with MM (v20e) with unlock bootloader, but reading this post I not see any method to root my device.....

Could someone point me to the wright way??
[G4 General] WAIDroid:
Ok, what model you have? This is the Verizon Section
[G4 General] brooklynite:
I have the same question can I root? Can I just flash an older already rooted kdz?

I just got my US Verizon VS986 LG G4 back from the bootloop issue and it is on Android 6.0. Interestingly it works fine on Cricket with H showing up for LTE data. I remember on 5.1 I had to root it and do some tweeks to get LTE to work. Also the stupid SIM error is gone and overall the phone feels much snappier than the rooted 5.1 it was on before with all its issues like the gallery self closing on its own after 5 second etc.

My phone

Android 6.0

Security patch 2016-01-01

Building number: MRA58K

Software Version: VS98624C

You CANNOT ROOT the LG G4 on MM. ONLY with Lolipop! I'm about to go back to Lolipop
[G4 General] brooklynite:

I presume the correct link to look at for downgrading is this:

Once you have downloaded the rooted image along with the necessary drivers and installed them, then follow Step 3 ->Root

Hi all,

I need some help....for some reason ADB can't see my G4 when it's in download mode.

When I'm not in download mode, ADB can see the phone perfectly. I check device manager and I can see the phone (in download mode), but i can't not get it in ADB command prompt. What is the problem?

After the Send.Command.exe step, I typed in id after the # and it return a message fail.

My device manager showing that the phone is not connected. But it is connected when it's not in download mode. Am I missing something? I'm on Android 6.0 stock.

I'm using Windows 10 and tried on two different computer/laptop. I've been at this for several hours, and searching isn't very getting me any further than what I'm right now. Please help.... :(

Thank you in advance.

Stuck on step 7

Hey guys,

I followed all the steps in the guide and I'm getting stuck on step 7 where I push this command:

dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

as soon as I hit enter, the hash appears in a second and nothing happens.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
Is that the name of your image file?
[G4 General] slowmanchan:
yea.. It is called rootedsystem.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
Pathname likely doesn't match the file location
[G4 General] slowmanchan:
I triple checked the file location and it is indeed in the root directory in internal storage.

/storage/emulated/0/rootedsystem.img

should I do a factory reset and try again?
[G4 General] larsdennert:
/storage/emulated/0/rootedsystem.img <> dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

then use the correct pathname where the file is.

dd if=/storage/emulated/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

and verify that the file is called rootedsystem and not systemrooted

The point is - that I can't get the code, needed for the Unlock on the LG page!

I can't identify my device - it's hidden - tryed everything... latest Drivers... ADB-Stuff'nd That... still no success!

Followed every step in the Bootloader Unlock How 2's, but I wasn't able to get this code - and there for, I also can't get my hands on the Unlock.Bat - so... that's the point, why I'm relaxing and waiting for a method, which isn't in need of a BL-Unlock ;).

Take a look on the Sony Experia Z3 - Ooops! - Why there's a Bootloader Unlock unneeded? - Beside this question, on earlier Root How 2's, was it needed to unlock the BL first - and imagening how this worx? - Exactly, by the Sony page and the specific Device Code to get an unlock.bat ;).

But today, the unlock isn't needed anymore. I can't except, that it's so very different from device to device, only differences are hardware and the developer UI - Android is Android MM or KK... thtat's confuseing!

If you have adb and thee correct drivers then you probably just need to change directory to the correct path in command prompt. I did this the first time, but had other issues.

Don't know if using this method will brick my phone.

Will this root work for sprint ls991zv6 version? I saw the commands to run on the front page, but I only saw ls991zv5 for sprint, not zv6. I also saw that the tar.gz code for sprint was for zv5 not zv6. I looked at the "Why isn't my variant supported?" link but I don't know if that applies to what i'm asking about. I just downgraded my g4 from zva to zv6 using lgup. From what I read on different forums I cannot downgrade to zv5 or my phone will be permanently bricked. I looked on youtube and saw that this method was mainly used for rooting g4's. I'm not using other ways to root like oneclickroot because I don't want to brick my device or have another problem like the comments I read about for oneclickroot. Can anyone tell me if this root will work for my phone and/or can anyone suggest a legit way that i can root my phone? Thank you.

Edit: I've found out how to root the LS991ZV6 sprint version of the G4. I had to go here -> http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g4/development/stock-sytem-image-files-zv5-zv6-t3205640. Everything that you need is there. If you haven't rooted before then use it in conjunction with the instructions on this page(LG_ROOT). ->http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772.

Rooted LG G4 using Low Effort Root but now 'no network available.'

Hi

I used the low effort root method to root my LG G4 F500L Korean version. All went according to plan but once l inserted my Usim/sim card 'no network available' keeps coming up.

There's nothing wrong with my sim card.

I can download from the nwmetwork no problem and the bars are all showing up along with the 4G signal.

I have tried changing APN's re-registering to the network. A factory restore and nothing works.

Anyone have any idea why or what l might have done wrong?
