So fussy and just for a + in the status bar. If you have the correct APN settings, then did you bother to speed test or anything else to see if your speeds have actually dropped? The connection is blazing fast still for me, I feel like you're just picking hairs at that point. I mean, how fast do actually need to burn through your data? My speeds have remained constant. I find 10H to be leagues better than what telus currently had out right now, but that's just my experience.

Edit: I guess all I am trying to say is that you're probably running on the band, it's just not indicating correctly.
[G4 General] strifexx:
Dunno where you got the idea I was being fussy. I simply posted to document an anomaly I experienced with the Rogers 10H version of the software on my Bell G4, in response to a post saying all the softs would function the same across providers.

If I wanted to be fussy I suppose I could mention that making a statement that the band was most likely fine just not the indicator, is a completely unsupportable premise as it is just as likely the case that the band was not supported when running the Rogers soft on a Bell device.

In either case, during this particular instance, there is nothing more than my observations to base an opinion on so rather than making any sort of claim that the band definitely does not work using the Rogers software on a Bell device I simply posted documenting the anomaly I discovered and the subsequent step I took to restore the LTE+ operation to a state where I had no reason to question whether or not it was functioning correctly.

Cheers
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Thank you for clearing this up. For some reason, a lot of people really really care about what their data signal says in the status bar when it boils down to the fact that it usually doesn't matter what it says as different carriers use different icons for basically the same thing. I remember back in my Galaxy S2 days, running off of American software, being really fussy about what the indicator read when it reality, I was running off of the same connection I had always been running off of, just the icons changed to something slightly different. I don't want people to be scared away from trying a different carriers software on their device because of something that really won't matter to them when the core functionality of the device can be greatly improved.

I've ran almost all software versions of our device extensively as I've had the G4 since launch day and had a chance to use every update that has came out for a significant amount of time and my personal experience is that the Rogers 10H is, hands down, the best iteration out to date. I'm not trying to push this down people's throats as I know personal experience obviously varies from person to person and more importantly, from device to device.

You can say a few short words and a thousand people can read that sentence a hundred different ways and may even mistake what you said to begin with, because I certainly did.

So, that all being said, do you have any thoughts on how to fix this issue? I also noticed, but couldn't really be bothered because I'm always on WiFi and only use data on the road, which in our vast country, is usually never LTE anyways.

Have you tried playing with the hidden menu settings 277634#*# in the dialer
[G4 General] Rosco911:
My Wind LG G4 kees on giving me issues with the screen... Every time I dial or answer a call, the screen turns off and does not come back on for any reason untill the call is over. I have done a factory reset twice and does not change anything... Anyone else having the same issue and were you able to fix it? :(
[G4 General] Devhux:
Proximity sensor issue. Could be caused by a screen protector
[G4 General] Rosco911:
So the only way to fix it is to remove the protector?
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
If the proximity sensor is being covered by the screen protector, then yes that could be the issue. Is it? If it is, then you would only have to remove the part over the sensor, unless it's a glass one.
[G4 General] Rosco911:
Decided to root my wind g4.... but not sure what image I should use... I only see here H181210e and H181210h...
[G4 General] mb_guy:
One that matches exactly the kdz installed one the Phone. I'm new here but I believe you will need to flash the stock Rogers 10H kdz first then the rooted image.I haven't seen any root img for Wind.
[G4 General] derberts:
So help me out here because I'm a bit confused with the opening post. I'm currently on stock bell rom that came with the phone. If I flash the stock rogers h rom and then flash the rooted version of it, is that the entire root process? Just flash one then the other with kdz?
[G4 General] mb_guy:
Not quite that easy, read here post 127

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449/page13
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
As long as you flash the rooted image that matches the version of Android that your device is running, you will be fine.

Setting - about phone - software info - software version.

Essentially, all Canadian G4's are the same, so you shouldn't worry about what carrier your phone came from, only the software version it is running.
[G4 General] racin910:
Custom Kernels?

Hi there,

Sorry for the noob question but after rooting using this method, would we be able to flash a H815 kernel/roms?

Thanks in advance!
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
No if you are using the h812 model u cannot unlock the bootloader hence u cant flash any roms. Plus h815 is a different model, so u shouldn't be flashing roms which is different than u r phone model.
[G4 General] fleagalbaum:
Now that we are rooted, does anyone have a file list that we can remove to De bloat our stock Rom. I'm on rogers.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Not specifically Rogers, but:

[G4 General] fleagalbaum:
Thanks. I will play around with this tonight
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
I personally freeze all of the apps I do not want. Since apparently expandable storage is apparently a luxury now and we've been so blessed to have an SD slot, space isn't so much an issue. Plus you may run into issues immediately, or down the road some time and it's a lot easier to unfreeze a system app than it is to install one.
[G4 General] fleagalbaum:
I feel the same. I wouldn't want to delete them totally then find out it causes fc's and have to re flash.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
I'm currently using the Telus H81210F rom on my Bell device (flashed it early Sept). The primary reason I did this was to fix my touchscreen issues.

Thinking of flashing the latest official Bell rom (in anticipation of an OTA for marshmallow). Looks like the latest Bell rom is H81210E.

Has anyone mentioned a difference between the Bell H81210E and the Telus H81210F? Did anyone who had touchscreen issues on earlier versions of Bell's G4 have them resolved with H81210E?
[G4 General] Devhux:
Is H81210h still the latest software version available to Canadians (via Rogers firmware)? I am having some odd issues and am thinking of doing a factory reset, but figured I may as well make sure I have the latest software build available.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Yeah I am trying to figure out if the letter at the end of the builds from different carrier actually align with the latest builds from LG (ie. Telus released the F build before Bell released the E build). If LG assigned the letters, I would guess that the Telus rom released a week earlier was the newest build, even though Bell released E a week later...

My experience with Samsung and Canadian carriers is that the carriers typically release the same basic build at the same time for the high end devices). My current rom is working fine and mostly fixed the touchscreen issue for me, and I stuck with it even though other roms have been released since...I have some time now to settle into an updated rom, and thought that if 6.0 is being released soon just as well try out Bell's latest (as long as it does not break my touchscreen again).
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
I've been using Rogers 10h for a while now and I love it. My device is telus, so this does not really matter to me, but it has been reported that LTE+ for Bell devices breaks by flashing the 10h firmware. I tried to contact the user to try to see if we could fix the issue, but they never got back to me. That being said, I think the 10h firmware will suit you both perfectly fine. If you are experiencing issues that factory reinstalls do not fix, updating software will be you best bet to fix the issue unless it is hardware related.
[G4 General] knasmall:
I have a Bell G4 and am using software version H81210E and i'm sad to say that the touchscreen problem has not been fixed. Its driving me crazy to the point that I might go with the nexus P even though i will be taking a big hit on paying out my contract (only 4 months into it). If I am the understand correctly anyone who has a Bell G4 and has flashed the telus H81210F software that has cured the touch screen issue? I may try that if that is true before ditching this device!
[G4 General] Kr0m100:
Hmm, I'm on Bell 10e and can say that I'm not having the noticeable touch screen issues that were frustrating when I first got the phone back in July... I'm not sure if it's related to system updates or something I've done as far as installing some apps or disabling some stock services.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
I would hesitate to say if everyone fixed their issues, but for me, I was ready to find another device until the Telus update came along and 95% fixed it for me. There is the odd time that scrolling is 'jumpy', and using glass screen protectors made the problem return for me, even after the update.

I would try installing the update from Telus or Rogers first and see if that helps. (I used Telus as they released an update first, and I think Telus and Bell share towers were I live, so tried to stay as close to Bell's stuff as possible but it might make no difference).

Just use the instructions in this General G4 section found in the "Install stock rom" thread, but install a Telus or Rogers one. If it does not work then flash back and sell the phone I guess. The Nexus 6P would be my next device right now if I ever moved on.

I think its a combination of hardware and software; my theory is that the touchscreen is not great for this phone in general, and that some serious software tweaking is needed to improve the customer experience for most devices.

I'll be helping my nephew out with a new phone purchase...I might buy him a G4, and I'll keep that new phone for myself if the screen works out of the box as he won't be as picky as myself (and he tends to drop and misuse his devices lol)
[G4 General] pegcitygeek:
Used the guide in the OP and got my G4 rooted today on Rogers 10H. Thanks to everyone in here for all the useful info!

Now to clean up this thing with SD Maid, then onto Xposed :)
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
I have a g4, my so has a g4 and my best friend has a g4. All of which have never experienced a problem with the touch screen. I'm saddened you guys are experiencing this because I love the device. I would recommend returning future devices while you still can instead of sitting on them and waiting for a software fix, because it could very well be a hardware issue with the phone.
[G4 General] howtorootlg:
Hi guys, first time poster here. I just purchased an H812-10h through rogers but immediately unlocked it cause I am on Telus. I would like to get root asap., but I wont do it until I know for sure what I am doing. Do I still download the rogers img or do I download the telus one?

Might be a dumb question, I rooted my s5 g900w8 and it seemed more straightforward then this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

What is the best resource for custom roms if there are any for this model. ?
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
If you got it through rogers then you have to download the Rogers img. So basically the steps would be download rogers rooted.img and flash it and you are pretty much good to go. In the matter of custom roms, we dont have any at the moment because we dont have a bootloader unlock yet.

Just make sure before you root it, just read the instructions through in the first post atleast once or twice even.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Rogers is saying 6.0 update is coming end of January for G4.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Meh. I'm more worried about the bootloop issue at this point. It seems to be getting more widespread
[G4 General] goofball2k:
Hoping flashfire works on Marshmallow by that point. I'd hate to lose xposed access.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Sry m not up to date... Is there a root for MM already?
[G4 General] goofball2k:
Since our version cannot be bootloader unlocked, I think we'll have to wait to see how it can be rooted without flashing through a custom recovery like TWRP or the like.

I really do miss custom rom's given I came from Nexus and OnePlus where there were tons of options. I can live with just root + xposed but there is always the itch to try a custom rom. Not that there are any available for the G4 for H812. :crying:
[G4 General] philviral:
I feel your pain! :(

I'm satisfied enough with root, xposed, and the debloating that I have done... but everytime I swipe down the hideous quick settings panel, I am reminded that I am unable to try custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod...
[G4 General] goofball2k:
I don't think MM support for flashfire is there yet, so until then, if we upgrade to MM, we don't know how we will root and then get xposed onto it as well. :crying:

Gonna have to wait until MM comes out to see if/when these can be accomplished.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
MM is locked down pretty tight by the sounds of it. I doubt there will be root available for quite some time if you do decide to update when it comes out. It's sad, I know. I wish I could help, but sadly my skills are not that advanced. As a recovering flashaholic myself, I am pretty upset with the status of the G4, but as a whole, I love the phone and am glad I switched from Samsung as I do not like where the company is headed. Root + Xposed has kept me on the wagon.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
The biggest current issue is that the kernel needs to be modified for root atm. I don't think flashfire could even go that deep.
[G4 General] MrMolson:
Hey guys!

I just bought the LG G4 from Virgin Mobile and I got sporadic missing taps, I traded it for another one and same issue, is it a hardware or software problem? Do I need to take it back again?

My software version: H81210e

Thanks!
[G4 General] MrMolson:
Well, it's christmas before time! I've just got the update from Bell, I'm now on H81210o, I hope the missing taps are gone!
[G4 General] Kr0m100:
Same here, Bell update
[G4 General] blackquattro:
Just initiated and got the update on Bell/Virgin. Anyone who has Bell or Virgin should be able o get the update from the Update Center feature.

Early Christmas [emoji4]
[G4 General] FlyingFiddle:
Hi, I got the same update notice. But I am rooted already. Will I be able to actually install this OTA? Or once installed will I lose root? Thanks!
[G4 General] blackquattro:
I could be wrong, but I had the exact same situation with my G3 being rooting and my phone was not able to update correctly while being rooted. You'll be able to download the file but not apply the update correctly.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

I just noticed that this update listed above was just installed but my software is still Lollipop 5.1? Is this just a different update before MM is officially available from the carriers ?
[G4 General] Buddyjohn:
I am on Virgin and my phone has a new update V10o-DEC-7-2015 (327.30 MB)

I noticed the V10n update was under 100mb.

too my knowledge you would have to reroot after an ota update

also i would like to know if doing this ota would cause the flash counter to go up, i want to keep it at 0 for if the bootloader is ever unlocked
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
I checked all ota on my g4 from bell and rogers. Anti rollback stays at 0.
[G4 General] finnmacool:
Telus, ready to go!

Downloading the 88.54mb update as we speak!

Version H81210n
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
I am not convinced that the version numbers are comparable across carriers anymore. The descriptions (like the one you posted) are not very helpful at all. I am on the Telus 10f kdz (on my Bell device), and Bell's numbering scheme is is at 10e I believe (which was released after Telus 10f). Could very well be that Bell is just far behind on the updates, but something weird going on with the carriers and this device IMO.
[G4 General] k3mik4l:
Bell dropped the ball, i own a bell g4 and i just flashed the telus kdz and then the rooted telus g update and will continue to do so until bell wakes up
[G4 General] ZeroSkylineX:
Whenever I plug in my device with download mode, my computer does not detect the device. I installed the United LG Mobile driver (tried both ver 3.14 and the latest 3.81 to no avail. Any suggestions...?
[G4 General] Satrack:
Just to be clear.

I'm on Videotron. I have the LG G4 H81210G.

I can flash the Telus Rooted.kdz directly onto my phone using the procedure written on OP?
[G4 General] tophernuts:
I had this issue the other day when I was trying to flash 10H, I ended up having to uninstall everything LG on my computer, rebooting, then installing the drivers again
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
I think you should flash the full telus kdz before flashing the rooted one.
[G4 General] karendar:
Teluf 10f: touchscreen keyboard fix, stagefright patch (all exploits except one), battery optimizations, kernel tweaks.

Telus 10g: Patched the last stagefright exploit. That's it.

As for Bell being behind, I just think numbering conventions are different... But could not officially confirm.
[G4 General] Ser Gilgoroth:
Hopefully more info on the Korean locked bootloader with recovery shows up.
[G4 General] spartan268:
If you plug your phone in as is. (Not in download mode. Just while on)

Does your computer recognize the device? You can check to see by going into Windows Start Menu > Computer > And there should be a removable device by the name of 'LG G4'

Getting it to work here is a start if you haven't already
[G4 General] ZeroSkylineX:
Yes if I plug in the phone as is, my computer detects it and the drivers are automatically installed. However if plugged in with download mode, my computer detects that something is plugged in and says drivers failed to install. I installed the LG United Mobile driver to no avail. Restarted computer and used different usb cables as well.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Do you by chance have bluestacks installed on your computer?

This blocked me off a few times for the debloat tool. Go into the task manager and kill anything bluestacks related.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
I assume the Rogers H update is newer than the Telus F? Anything better on it?

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

One other question, if I'm on Telus F and I have a Rogers/MTS phone, will the OTA actually work? Because I noticed the OP said in a different thread that if you remove root with SuperSU the OTA will install.
[G4 General] eboy_gb:
I want to thank everyone for their hard work. (@Spudnubs [MENTION=2826966]karendar[/MENTION] [MENTION=3369804]GibMcFragger[/MENTION]....etc.) It's great to be running the Telus 10G kdz with 10G rooted system on my Bell. Coming from a 10C build, it's nice that all of my taps register (knock to wake works properly now) and I can register all 10 of my digits on a multi touch testing app (whereas 6 would cause it too crash before.

I had bricked one of these phones early on (edit build prop) so I was pretty gun shy but for the most part everything went smoothly (except when all of the text on the LG flash tool turned to question marks and program crashed before the update reached 100%).

Looking forward to the next build update. Thanks again!
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
The only thing stopping OTA's is root so if you remove root then you will be able to update via OTA if you so choose. That is how I updated my phone last.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Is anyone else hearing the buzz about having recovery on locked bootloaders now?

Trying to compile some information on this, but it sounds pretty promising :) Custom kernals/roms will finally be on the way I hope.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Yes i saw it too. But will not work for people that took any ota
[G4 General] spartan268:
Yeah I just read that too. Made me depressed again. But nothing is impossible. Someone smart enough will figure it out I hope.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Thats for sure. We still got thecuped and autoprime. Maybe they can figure it out again
[G4 General] bitbitbit:
Where did you see that? I didn't see any reference to OTA. All I saw was some guy hoping that his "v0" phone can be bootloader unlocked.

And I am kind of surprised how little attention people are paying to that bootloader unlock.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
There you go
[G4 General] Buddyjohn:
awesome thanks for letting me know, will be updating shortly :P
[G4 General] killer23d:
Just picked up the G4 because of the deals with this phone, and I am surprised the BL is locked down and I miss AOSP/CM. Coming from a 2013 Moto G which is running 6.0 already, I find this a huge step backward.

All I wish for Christmas is the ability to un/officially unlock the BL so that I can put CM on there.
[G4 General] spartan268:
I say don't get your hopes up :(
[G4 General] chetu730:
You can update, ota will fail or it did for me anyway. I was able to update mine via a pc. Heads up though as you will lose root.
[G4 General] killer23d:
I find this not-cool because even a low end phone like the Moto G from Telus is eligible for BL unlock via the web site. The process is the same as LG, where you submit the device string and the site return the unlock string.

LG just completely locks it down, I have been following the thread and looks like the quest for an unlock started in July....
[G4 General] mb_guy:
I'm new to LG, but with Lolipop you cannot update with an OTA unless device is totally stock. which means not rooted. With HTC one you have to flash stock ruu, get and apply the ota, then re root.
[G4 General] n0phearz:
With the fact that I suck at rooting phones, I was able to get it done prior to today's 348mb update. After installing it and losing root, how do I go about rerooting it? I used someones .img file to get it done but with the new update i'm h81210o and not 10e anymore. Will I have to Inject my own image file or has someone already uploaded a new one?
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Since these are brand new updates, no one has rooted them yet and you will have to inject root yourself. Good luck!
[G4 General] n0phearz:
Awesome. I'm going to attempt to do it now.
[G4 General] knasmall:
I flashed the update and i'm cautiously optimistic that the tap issue has been fixed - i haven't had any since the update (fingers are crossed)!! Merry Christmas everybody!!
[G4 General] philviral:
This is true. I am on Bell, my phone is rooted, and it says no updates are available.
[G4 General] mb_guy:
Just checked and I have the update V10n-Dev-04-2015 (87.50 MB)

I am unrooted on Rogers. It's obviously just an update to Lolipop, too small for Marshmallow.
