Oldy method but used to work

Hey guys. I remember this method from another LG locked bootloader phone I had. Any one try anything similar to this? I seem to remember my old L7 had the same locked boot loader and the only way to get root was with root/recovery injection into the KDZ file.

Boys, when you updated, did you lose data? I'm on 20u, upgraded this morning and now data is ****ed. Reset APN's, did all the normal stuff. Not sure how to fix other than rolling back to LP and restoring sweet sweet root. Marshmallow has been a garbage experience on the LG G4 which sucks because individually, they are both pretty great, but ****ing toxic together.
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
It happened to me too. I had to do a factory reset and when setting up waited to put it on wifi until lte symbol came up.

Everything you need to root your device is in this thread, mainly the original post, but I am sure that every question that you can think of to ask has already been asked at one point or another here, just give the search bar some much needed love and attention that she so desperately deserves and you'll probably get what you want. She's a generous and all giving search bar.

Poor microphone in-call volume

Hi guys

I've had a lot of complaints of friends saying that they can't hear me properly when we are on a regular call. They either hear me all muffled or like a robot with the voice cutting as if it was interfered. I end up using the speakerphone or a headset to solve this issue but it is really annoying. I have service with Videotron (H812) and went today to the store to ask for a replacement. They said that they can't change it because it seems to be a common problem and LG will not cover for warranty if that's the only problem the phone has.

I have been checking online if there is a way to increase the microphone gain directly editing the configuration files but haven't found a safe way to deal with it. Im rooted so I can try anything. If you have an app or a procedure to do so, please let us know. I'm sure this is not a "Remove the SIM Card, pray to Thor and spray mistletoe on the screen" type of solution, so please don't go that way, but thanks for the good intentions ;).

On the other side, this situation bothers me a lot. It would seem that the service providers were aware of this situation and they sold the phones knowingly and that would be an illegal practice, because they never notified me at the moment of the purchase.
[G4 General] ShroudOfAgony:
I'm currently under Rogers with my G4. Do I need different company SIM for unlock and if so, which one would you recommend ? I don't wanna buy a Telus SIM card only to realize it was already working on Telus :/
[G4 General] nash211:
Yes any Generic card will do as long it is the same sim card, yes you need one from other than your provider if it not unlocked
[G4 General] ShroudOfAgony:
I'm afraid this does not help me. I have a Fido SIM but the G4 box still says RGS for phone model. I'm guessing I need a Telus ?
[G4 General] nash211:
Since Fido is a parent company to Rogers yes you need something like telus bell etc

disabling big cores on ver H81210n

Just got the dreaded boot loop issue and trying to recover my data by using the Big Core disable tool. However the tool's bin file is for ver H81210h and I am on H81210n already.

I thought of downgrading it to h, but I heard that this might brick your phone (at least it did for US models of the G4).

So question is, have any one tried to downgrade from n to h? Did it work?

If not, I saw that someone had the disable tool version 7 in one of the posts on XDA. I searched through the forum for a download link. Does anybody have it?

Thanks!

Just flashed a 815 Kdz
[G4 General] deadgods:
k what did you just do? and can you boot?
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
Just flashing a 815 kdz using LGFlashTool2014 and yes it's booting up, the only thing that isn't working properly is the cellular network (should be a difference between modem files used in this kdz). Then i only activated the OEM unlock in the developer menu and type fastboot reboot bootloader.
[G4 General] jasonzarko:
I wonder if you can do this with the t-mobile kdz? If you could you wouldn't need an unlock bin.
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
i didn't know that the t-mobile version doesn't need any unlock.bin ? So how they unlock the bl ?

After a quick look, im downloading the KDZ of the 811 ! I'll give you update soon as my device install it ;)

Edit 2 : As far as i could see i need to downgrade at 10h to be able to flash the 811.

Phone brick rip
[G4 General] koontzy65:
you should hide your IMEI ;)

you bricked your phone?
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
Unfortunately yes lol, but like i said the 10H can be flashed by any version *risk of brick.
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
Sooo if someone want the method for flashing the 815 KDZ, here it's come.

First of all you need tools.

1- LGUP : http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803

2- LGflashtool : http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848

3- Firmware of the 812 (10h)

4- Firmware of the 815 (10h) *special note i've tested with an EUR rom only.

So with LGUP downgrade your phone to 81210h using refurbish *see the tutorial for flashing

After that you can flash the 81510h using LGFlashtool2014 *special note the program give a network error, but don't click on it just check if the installation of the firmware work.

The phone should restart by it self and reboot to the configuration menu. And then it will freeze and restart again.

The cellular network doens't work and the phone randomly crash sometimes.

I think we could use this guide for getting the cellular network to work, if we could extract all the sames files from the latest kdz from our 812 : http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-f500l-restore-signal-flash-815-t3214574
[G4 General] PsychoAssasin:
Welp, my Telus H812 SN:508 just started bootlooping out of nowhere.

Gonna sell this piece of crap the second I get it back from repair.
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
I think LG kill the G series with this cellphone, seriously the G4 was a big fail.

But mine was 507.
[G4 General] PsychoAssasin:
Yeah seriously. First with the locked bootloaders, then with this ridiculous bootloop hardware problem, and finally a stupidly designed G5.

My circle of friends and family are going to be staying away from LG for a loooong time.

Also, LG Canada refused to cover shipping costs. Ridiculous when they obviously know its their problem. Even ebay retailers I've dealt with cover shipping etc when its obviously their fault.
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
The point is if the G4 wasn't bootlooping it would be a great phone for anyone else than "developer" *person who use custom firmware and root :P In general the G4 wasn't for me and all other canadian version phone lol ;)
[G4 General] Touz604:
finally got tired of this piece of crap. Had a display issue on day 1. Had bootloop after a few months. No root on Marshmallow. Sold it and bought a Nexus 6P. I don't regret it 1 bit. Won't be buying an LG phone again anytime soon.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
I have been wanting to switch to the 6P. The only thing that is holding me back is the no sdcard slot :(.
[G4 General] Touz604:
The perfect phone doesn't exist. I made the math and had a 32gb LG g4 + 64gb SD card. I bought a 128gb nexus 6p which as more storage than what I had with an SD card...
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
But you forgot that if you want to install an app on a couple of device the MicroSD will cost less to the customer than a brand new device (also if you got a camera it would be perfect to view some picture in an 5.5 po display than 3.5) ;) But i give you the point, the internal storage is really fast compared to the MicroSD.

Hi all. I have an H812 on telus, previously on OTA MM H81220F before wanting to root. I downgraded to H81210F using LGUP with no problems. Then rooted using the injection method successfully. Root+BB is working and im currently trying to get xposed to install but am getting a could not mount /system error. If anyone has any questions or needs me to test anything lemme know
[G4 General] SpyderAByte:
/system not mounting error was simply solved by unchecking automount on flashfire for me. Xposed is working with no issues so far

Anyone else having problems on their H812 with WiFi. It's "connected" but no data going through. A quick toggle on and off of the WiFi and it works fine again for a while.

[G4 General] maloneyish1:
i used the system.rooted.telus.10b file first put it on my phone and did the steps i got a # at the end of the last step but it was instant. I rebooted and no root. so i used ubuntu to inject root into a copy of my system immage. this was sucessful so i put it at the root of my memory and ran the script to flash it and a few minutes passed then i got # again i typed LEAVE the phone rebooted and still no su

So I am looking to root my LG G4 which is on Marshmellow I found this thread on Google search and seems like it is the only legit Root process for LG G4

However . . . . At the very top of the thread it says in big bold red letters NO ROOT FOR MARSHMELLOW. but yet when i read down the thread there is talk of firmware for Marshmellow.

I now I can't spell :p

My question is simple Can I Root my LG G4 with this method on Marshmellow or NOT and if Not can I downgrade to Lollipop and than ROOT ??

Thanks

I got sick of the phone given the lack of bootloader unlock. Went to a Note 4, and while I do miss the camera on the LG, the samsung is pretty decent. Actually was able to convince my wife to drop her iphone and go to Samsung after she used my Note for a little bit. Double win.

Not that bad when having root and Xposed on Lollipop

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know my experience with a Rogers LG G4. I've been using this phone since 5 months now and I was (and I'm still, but a bit less) disappointed to know that the canadian version of the LG G4 has a locked bootloader. I was thinking to sell my LG G4 but the truth is that to have a good phone camera it's important to me and no other phone in the same price range has a good camera like the LG G4 does. So I decided to give a try to the downgrading to lollipop and rooting process. I was happy to have root finally. I installed AdAway to get rid of those ads that make your browsing experience just slower. I was a lot happier because of this, until I decided to install Xposed. I never installed Xposed on a phone before so I didn't know of the experience, but just heard great things about it. I gave it a try and WOW! Believe me, after installing Xposed you will not want to have a unlocked bootloader that bad. You can really customize the looking and features of your LG G4 just by adding Xposed to it. I added features to the stock rom that usually only custom roms have. At the same time I get to keep the stock rom that give you the good camera software that you would lose by installing a custom rom. If you want to give it a try, I will recommend you the following modules just to begin your new experience with your LG G4. Believe me, it's like having a new phone, you will start loving your phone again. Unlike other people, I've not experienced any changes on the battery with lollipop versus Marshmallow.

So, the modules I've installed until now are:

Youtube AdAway (to get rid of youtube ads) XDA Link Here

G4 Tweaksbox (to add unlimited features, from themes to physical buttons actions and even more tweaks) XDA Link Here

LG Apps Theme Engine (to modify how stock rom apps look, you can change the color of the icons on the status bar, etc) XDA Link Here

So all of this together with the Nova Launcher Prime and you will get almost a stock android experience with the good of the LG software and hardware, so enjoy and if you have any questions let me know.

Hi there, I need to know if I can safely downgrade my system software from H81220e to H81210h (with Rogers). does the letter have to match? Or does it not matter?
[G4 General] ropinco:
If you're downgrading to lollipop on a Rogers G4 then you should use the H81210h image. Rogers devices should stick to Rogers images or you will lose VoLTE if not.
[G4 General] FlashExplorer:
Ok, so as long as I stick to a Rogers image I'll be fine....
