[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momanium:
Hi all,

Hope someone can help me with this. Before I give me more information, its the D855 model and it has been rooted with TWRP installed. However I have left stock firmware on (v20I). The phone is about 1 month old.

Recently I have noticed that the phone wont be woken from sleep, even if I use knock unlock or the power button. I found this very strange and its occurring several times a day, with no noticeable cause. I also noticed that sometime during one of these episodes if I leave it for a while it will restart. But on most occasions I have to take the battery out and restart.

Any advice?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Try upgrading to new 20t or 20u, then play with it for a day or two (fresh CSE flash ).

If everything is fine root it and send me what version you have installed, I'll send you new autorec to match your version (t or u)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momanium:
Thanks for the reply.

Thing is, its only started doing this in the last week or so.

If I upgrade (to v20t i think) will I lose root? Also I thought autorec version was dependent on phone model (in this case d855) not software version?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Ah might be hardware then. Yeah but it replaces the kernel and the new versions have newer kernel so I added it

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momanium:
So to clarify, if I update will I lose root?

Just uninstalled Amplify battery saver and will try the same with Greenify tomorrow. If not, then I will have to return it to warranty. I hope LG warranty is good.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Yes. But you can root easily. Not sure why people are having so much issues rooting but here even on win10 everything works fine

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momanium:
Thanks so much for your continued assistance! :)

So good news, sort of. Since uninstalling Greenify and Amplify the problem doesn't seem to have occurred but I will continue as is for a few days to make sure. So hopefully, I wont have to deal with warranty.

Little annoyed, but I have a feeling its Amplify causing it which is a shame as I was using it to extend battery life, which has been a little disappointing I have to admit.

Hopefully it stays fine, in which case I will update to the latest version and then reroot and use autorec to install TWRP. Then reinstall Greenify and slowly start re-hibernating apps.

Anyway, I will keep you updated and appreciate all your advice.
[AT&T LG G4] ProFragger:
Dear Friends,

About to pull a trigger on an AT&T LG G4, can someone give me a short answer, ASAP?

Is it possible to have permanent Root and Xposed on the AT&T variant WITHOUT ridiculous bugs like a "green dot" in the camera of the phone? (what does the green dot even mean? It's on every picture? Is it a watermark? Just on the GUI?)

If possible, how? And should I buy the phone?

Appreciate any QUICK responses, about to buy now! Thanks so much in advance!
[AT&T LG G4] ArcaneDroid:
I just bought the G4 a couple of days ago. I was able to root, but there is no twrp or xposed as far as I know. I also don't have the green dot and everything is working fine!
[AT&T LG G4] ProFragger:
Thanks for the quick response, my friend. Can you share the method/thread/image you used to Root?

I think you can install Xposed without TWRP via FireFlash? Can someone please confirm?

Thanks guys!
[AT&T LG G4] Nowak4G:
Just got my G4 two days ago. You can root and you can install Xposed with FireFlash. Root requires pushing a rooted version of whatever software version you are currently running. If you can't find one you can inject root into your own system.img using Ubuntu. After root get FireFlash and the right xposed zip and be patient, it can sit black screen, appearing dead for 20-30 minutes. Over all not too hard. Took me a couple hours from The un-boxing to Xposed. Definitely do it. The green dot on camera comes from the PR system.img. I'd stay clear of that. Everything is working great on mine!
[AT&T LG G4] ProFragger:
[MENTION=3515213]Nowak4G[/MENTION] - Thanks bud, that's what I read too. Can you point me to the guide and img file you used that worked for you? I doubt I'd prefer the Ubuntu way...

One other question... Is there a way/app/Xposed module that's kind of like G3TweaksBox for us? Letting us change the Status bar icon colors and toggle colors?

I highly doubt themes work for us since we can't Flash them without custom recovery?

Thanks again!
[AT&T LG G4] Nowak4G:
GravityBox works for status bar stuff and yeah here are the threads I used. Good luck bud!

I'm not totally sure what stuff can and can't be flashed using FireFlash. But for applying icon themes with Xposed I use this module, Unicon:

[AT&T LG G4] mu3g:
I've had my LG G4 rooted and running Xposed with a lot of modules enabled.

If the phone you buy is on the 10G software version (and want to stay on that version), you should be able to root it following the method in the LG G4 Low Effort Root thread. Follow it to the dot and enjoy partial freedom.

If the phone you buy is on 10I, there is a rooted image floating around. So you could take the 10I update (or make sure your phone's on the 10I version), and root it using the Low Effort Root method.

I would also recommend the following:

1. keeping a copy of your untouched fresh system image in your internal memory (as early as possible after buying the phone). In case of a bad flash you have something to possibly go back to - otherwise you'll end up with the PR ROM and the green dot. The method and commands to extracting the system image is very similar to rooting, except instead of dd'ing into the system partition from SD, you do the opposite (from system partition to SD)

2. disabling system apps and system updates using the debloater tool and a tutorial here on the forums

Regarding flashing files via recovery, I usually extract the files and place them in the correct directory with the right permissions. Usually most files use 0644 permissions, but I would first check the existing permissions with ES File Explorer.

Hello [MENTION=3515213]Nowak4G[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4726635]mu3g[/MENTION],

Guys thank you for your response. I can confirm that the seller I bought the phone from took the 10l upgrade. I have little to no experience rooting locked bootloader phones, and I have to be honest, I am more confused than I have the answers. Now that I have confirmed that I will end up with 10l update, can you guys give me a noob boost and give me step by step on how to root, Xposed, and possibly back up my stock image, since I do NOT want to end up with the PR build, with the green dot, in case things go wrong?

Am I correct that the right answer to my problem is, Low Effort Root with the floating 10l rooted img file, located here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B54ceS-n3ZAiaVAxMkJFLXNMYmM/view?pli=1

Please help me out guys, would even appreciate more if we can maybe connect on Google Hangouts for some dynamic help? Please let me know and thank you again for your wonderful so far :)!
[AT&T LG G4] Nowak4G:
Yes, exactly. Use the floating around 10I rootedsystem.img with the Low Effort Root instructions. But definitely keep a unrooted system.img on the internal storage as a backup. Instructions are in the LER thread. Just read carefully and follow the steps and you should be fine. All copy and pasting.
[AT&T LG G4] mu3g:
You have the correct 10I rooted system img file. I would recommend following the LER steps and backing up the system image for 10I (see post 2 of the LER thread). This would give you the stock image for later use. Then follow the LER steps to the dot using the rooted system image file you have from the google drive link. The LER thread has pretty clear instructions on backup and flashing system image files for the G4. Just make sure to rename your downloaded file as "system.rooted.h81010i.img" and use it in the command...the file name here is the most important!
[AT&T LG G4] ProFragger:
Thank you guys, couple of follow up questions:

1. Do I run the backup command to copy my Non Rooted image, right after the step that gives us the DIAG Port Number? Or do I do it after the "id" step?

2. The generated back up, I assume will be done as an .img file in the root of my phone, correct? I assume I just back this up on my computer and/or External HD?

3. This is the scariest step. When I am running the step for flashing the rooted img, I need to rename the downloaded file to, "system.rooted.h81010i.img" as [MENTION=4726635]mu3g[/MENTION] recommended? Why not, "system.rooted.h81010m.img" for example?

4. I just use the exact file name we determined above for my downloaded rooted 10l image file, in the flash command when following the LER guide? Exactly that file name, correct?

Thank you again for all your help and excuse me for my continuous noobness!
[AT&T LG G4] mu3g:
Answers:

1. Run the backup command in Step 7 of the LER root ("Run the command specified in the section below titled 'Commands to Run' to flash the rooted system image.") <<---replace the commands to run with the command to backup your unrooted clean system image to your internal memory ---- if you compare the commands, it will become obvious on how the data is being moved (pushed or pulled from the phone).

2. The generated backup will be on the root of the internal memory of the phone. Yes, you can then move it to your computer or any other location for safekeeping AFTER you've booted your phone up properly - don't do any of this while you're still in the LER state.

3. I just gave you a recommendation on the name..you can name the rooted system image file whatever you want - you can even leave it as the way it is....just make sure to use the EXACT file name for the image in the commands to run (also 10I, 10M etc. are software version numbers..I'm not aware of a 10M version being released for AT&T. In any case, just use the EXACT file name for the rooted image.
[AT&T LG G4] ProFragger:
Thank you [MENTION=4726635]mu3g[/MENTION]! I think I am now ready to go through the process myself with confidence.

I am, however, still a bit confused about the file name of the rooted image that I will be flashing. If the phone already has 10l installed, and I leave the name of the rooted image intact, that is, "system.rooted.h81010l" would the phone still accept/get tricked into, thinking that it's getting an "update"? Or did you mean that the file name could literally be anything like, "filename.img" and if the commands match it, all will be installed correctly? As in, when the system boots, it will have all the correct build and software information with it being a 10l update and etc?

Please forgive the annoying, detailed questions, but I want to not mess this up, since every guide triple emphasizes the importance of the command being absolutely right! Thank you!
[AT&T LG G4] mu3g:
You can literally name it blahblahblah.img as long as you use blahblahblah.img in the commands to run for the rooted system image. The file naming scheme has nothing to do with the acceptance or rejection of a system image. When you're in the bootloader mode ready to download files (which is the mode for LER), you can inject any file into any partition, anywhere on the phone...it's just whether the phone can use it or not properly and whether or not it ends up being a brick :P

Your file name for the system has nothing to do with the build number showing on the phone after booting up.

EDIT: The only reason I gave you that file naming scheme is because you don't seem to be too comfortable with the command line, thats all..that way you could copy paste the command from the LER guide and just replace "g" with "i" - that's all..if you're good with the command line and careful, you'll be fine..just make sure the file name is correct..you can't get much else wrong.
[AT&T LG G4] ProFragger:
Understood brother, just needed that clarity. I am not an absolute noob with cmd line, but you know how it goes when you're rooting your phone, the perpetual fear of an expensive paperweight!

I cannot find the thanks button here, wish I could, so I could thank you over and over and [MENTION=3515213]Nowak4G[/MENTION], but either way, thank you so so much [MENTION=4726635]mu3g[/MENTION]!!

[AT&T LG G4] mu3g:
How did it go? Were you able to go through with it?
[AT&T LG G4] djkinetic:
While the green dot does usually appear on 810 phones running the PR KDZ, I have heard reports of it on some 815 ...its pretty random. I just did a warranty exchange for my 810 so I will likely be staying on the ATT software.
[AT&T LG G4] ProFragger:
Hi Guys, wanted to update this thread with my results...:

I successfully rooted on H810l (AT&T) with 0 issues, following the Low Effort Root. Per the recommendations of the process, I also backed up my Stock, Unrooted, .img file for restoration to Stock, if it were needed. Well, I might be moving on from this phone and need to return to stock. Can someone advise the exact steps/commands to return to stock using the unrooted .img file I backed up before pushing the rooted .img? And can you confirm that you did this successfully as well?

I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
[AT&T LG G4] mu3g:
I have not done it myself, but if you uninstall all your root apps completely, make sure to enable any and every disabled app you may have (like for example AT&T apps etc.) using the debloater software and then follow LER to install the stock image on it, it should come back to bone stock. Remember, the key here to to ensure that no root apps exist on the phone - I guess SU will get wiped out, but its better to do it clean. And secondly, any disabled apps need to be re-enabled for a smooth process. These are just my $0.02...so proceed with caution.

Hi, Note 5 and S6 EDGE+ both have a problem. It defaults a program to the first app you select. I used to be able to click a number and android would as me to choose my VIOP or RC "just once" Now every things is set to "always"There used to be an option to only use it once. Is there any way I can fix this without rooting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] lei09:
I would also like to know this too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] black_shirt:
It's weird for sure. Seems like only sharing from certain apps like the gallery and Internet browsers give this option. But this app helped: app picker classic. It's in the play store. It's not ideal but it's working for me. If you share and choose this app the first time it will add all your other options for each consecutive time.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] randy021186:
Hi, I doubt it is a touch wiz issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] PreVayl:
I swear I love Samsung but they do some of the dumbest sh!t. LG also removed that feature from some of their devices. What the heck are these manufacturers thinking? What on God's green earth makes them think that you want to handle one type of file the same way everytime? Sometimes I want to open a link with one browser and open another link with another browser because maybe that specific browser works better with that particular websites. I love the just once. Constant clearing defaults is fuking worst than selecting between just one and always.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] randy021186:
I still has not found a decent fix. All the app pickers out there only show some apps but not all. The only app close is Better Open with. We can't even root now because we loose samsung pay. I am not an apple fan but I love that 3d feature. It is like a right click on a mouse.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Morthawt:
I have this same problem on my S5 mini. PLEASE tell me there is a solution by now? This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. So I send something once to Opera mini because I need to save on data usage and now I am forever stuck with websites opening in Opera Mini and looking like terrible. On Kitkat I NEVER used to select "always" on anything, for choice and security reasons.. Now I cannot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] 954wrecker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Morthawt:
I have this but it is only for things programmed into the app. I cannot scan an NFC thing and it always come up do I want to use "Tag" or "NFC Reader" or "xyz". Because the app does not know about this "type". It's good to protect and provide choice for websites and images and things but it is not perfect. Why would samsung/google mess this up? Not only is it stupidly inconvenient but it is less secure because now something like a website or any other thing just goes on it's merry way automatically opening and executing with an app all the time, instead of the usual thing where I have the choice to press always, just this once or oh yeah just press the back button to cancel the attempt from the start.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] bibbin:
I am not happy with the loss of this functionality.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] S6EdgeRules:
One of the workarounds I found for sharing or opening links with different apps was to select "Copy to Clipboard" option when you select the default app for the first time after clearing your old defaults and then go to your target app and paste from clipboard. It's definitely not as straightforward as selecting "Always" vs "One time only" but still better than clearing out defaults after every use for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SonicSamZ:
This is actually incredibly annoying. Sometimes I open Youtube videos in Youtube, sometimes I open them in my VLC Remote Control, sometimes I open them in Flyperlink....how this functionality went away is beyond me....frigging Samsung.

Better Open With will have to do for now, thanks for the link.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fmg9800:
Are you trying to get validation? You can't go wrong with either. Both are solid. I have used both and have settled on VP as it was AT&T configured. Enjoy which ever you choose.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dkaye:
Just as you've probably done - I did a lot of reading and researching before I settled on a ROM. After all was said and done, I went with vp3G's as it 1) was built on the "official" and 2) offered great flexibility with addins and no bloat. vp's ROM is very stable and reliable, and responsive. I use a lot of 3rd party software, and have been fortunate enough not to have encountered any significant issues.

I can't speak for Schap's as I haven't tried it. I'm sure, if you're comparing apples to oranges, both are equal in their respective strengths. Look at both, determine what you want your PPC to be able to do, and then make your decision.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schwalbach:
Please someone do a poll if you are going to keep asking these questions, it seems likely to be a good option.
