[G4 General] vsTerminus:
Thanks for the advice! The main reason I thought of this is because my friend lives two hours away. Now one of us *can* make the trip so I can root the phone in person, it just saves us some gas money and a day trip to do it over IRC or Teamspeak.

If nothing else we can always try both images and just restore his own backup of things won't play nice.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
No problem. Give it a shot, let me know what you find out. I think maybe things may force close and generally not work, but that is just a guess. He could always just do a wipe and that should fix most things if he experiences those issues. He may have to flash xposed himself, which is super easy. I probably would recommend him doing that manually actually if he wants to run xposed on his device. Anyways, let me know how things turn out and if you need anything, good luck!
[G4 General] ShroudOfAgony:
I'd start from scratch if I were you. And out of curiosity, did you get rid of the Rogers bloat too ? What Xposed module did you use ? I rooted my G4 but have yet to install Xposed.
[G4 General] alexvtr:
Hi all!

Rogers has been listing for a while on its website http://communityforums.rogers.com/html/assets/OSUpgrade.html that the G4 will be receiving MM update "Late January". Considering today is the 27th, anybody heard anything?
[G4 General] vsTerminus:
I used TItaniumBackup and 3C Toolbox to strip away the carrier bloat as best I could. It too me a long time to get everything just right, but my phone feels very much like a Nexus device now.

My Xposed module list is

3C Toolbox

AppOpsXposed

Flat Style Bar Indicators

G4 TweaksBox

Greenify

Secure Settings

SnapPrefs

YouTube AdAway

YouTube BackgroundPlayback

(YouTube Red is not available in Canada, hence the last two.)

Edit: I'm also still on 10h as my signature says. I would have to upgrade to 10n in order to share my system.img with my friend anyways, so I'm thinking I'll take everyone's advice here and just drive out to visit him if he buys a G4. I can still get him to do everything but then at least I'm there to make sure nothing goes wrong.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Just wondering what carrier bloat that you found? For the most part the Rogers G4 are pretty good out of the box. I was able to uninstall most of the pre-installed Rogers apps the old fashioned way. Was there anything else that you found besides from those?
[G4 General] vsTerminus:
Honestly most of it was the dozen or so LG apps that it immediately installs when you setup the phone. So most of it wasn't carrier specific, but rather manufacturer specific. That really made me miss my N5.

There was also some CarrierIQ stuff that I cleaned out with 3C Toolbox because it's embedded into the system and can't simply be uninstalled like the bloatware apps.

I honestly don't remember the specifics because it was nearly 5 months ago now.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Well. I say it will be Friday or Monday. Same as telus and bell
[G4 General] spartan268:
Interesting I was under the impression that the Rogers phones didn't have CarrierIQ installed. I'll have to look into this
[G4 General] koontzy65:
Anyone know when Telus (Koodo) will receive the MM update ?

Thanks
[G4 General] vsTerminus:
From what I read the CarrierIQ stuff is present but inactive - It's up to the carrier to enable it if they want to use it.

I don't know if that's true or not, but I know 3C did find some carrieriq stuff. Here's a screenshot.

[IMG="3C CarrierIQ"]http://i.imgur.com/jr3fKGql.png[/IMG]

I ran CarrierIQ Red Pill or whatever and a couple other apps afterwards and they all came up clean. Kinda forgot to run them first though :P
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
There are no publicly known dates for Marshmallow to begin rolling out for us. "Late January" does not mean it is going to be released this week, or next.

When it is released, lets all try to be rational about it as well. Update times tend to get ridiculously hectic.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Telus schedule says feb 1st. Rogers says late jan. Bell no info

Google is your best friend
[G4 General] spartan268:
It's funny you said you forgot to run them first. I just disabled everything as well through 3C and I ran the checks AFTER disabling things rather than before. But I guess nothing wrong with disabling the receivers right? Less clutter active the better

[G4 General] qwerty123321:
Is it true that the MM will be un-rootable due to locked bootloader?
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Yes. No root without unlock bootloader.

But maybe theres a chance for an exploit to be discovered.

Just maybe. Little positive thinking doesn't hurt
[G4 General] arbitarytwist:
That would be a sad modding end to a good phone. Don't see LG ever releasing a bootloader unlock.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
MY g4 got hit with the boot loop of death. Looks like I won't be getting root back.
[G4 General] bdithug:
That's what I'm afraid of for my wife. I won a Fido LG g4 back in November, and gave it to my wife who was in need of a replacement for her oneplus one.

I read a few horror stories of that bootloop bug, and even noticed LG acknowledged it the other day and confirmed they would fix affected devices under warranty.

Was there anything you noticed leading up to that bootloop bug? Did you drop the phone or anything? I'd hate for my wife to be in a bad situation, trying to use her phone for an emergency, and this bootloop bug hits her.
[G4 General] buski:
thanks for the guide ...it was a little complicated compared to rooting the nexus 6 but got it done now im rooted and got g4 tweakbox.I love this phone ,its twice i go to nexus devices and come back to the g series.
[G4 General] AmonX:
I just bought the LG G4 on Fido the other day and it just arrived. Unfortunately I didn't see this forum post when I rooted it and followed an older forum post and have 10c (Phone shows 10C download was listed as 10B) installed. How do I update? Do I just do the OTA updates and then follow the rooting guide again? Should I just wait for MM?

I am also able to unlock the bootloader on my phone.

Decided to update my phone to 10n using LG Bridge and will just reroot it after.

*Edit* I have slow internet so it took me a while to download the 10n rooted and unrooted update but it seems to be running fine now.
[G4 General] qu3becker:
Rogers' website now shows February 3rd for the Marshmallow update.

http://communityforums.rogers.com/html/assets/OSUpgrade.html
[G4 General] buski:
will the root method in op work with mm also?
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Nope.
[G4 General] buski:
looks like im gonna be sticking to lollipop then :eek:
[G4 General] Azure1203:
At least until someone figures out how to root MM. Gotta think it will happen eventually.
[G4 General] killer23d:
How are you able to unlock the bootloader?
[G4 General] AmonX:
I am not. Sorry I thought it was as simple as the OEM unlock option which only works for the h811 and the h815 from what I have read. I do not know what good it will do but I signed the petition https://www.change.org/p/lg-electronics-unlock-bootloader-on-all-g4-devices
[G4 General] qu3becker:
You can't. Until LG decides to make the move, which might never happen or there's a unofficial unlock that's currently being worked.

I assume the Canadian carriers just don't want it to happen because it might cause more defect devices because if Mr. Joe Schmo decide to unlock the bootloader and flash something for another device or removing system files that could cause a bootloop
[G4 General] qwerty123321:
Does anyone have a link to H812h stock kdz?

EDIT: Nvm used Telus 10g instead. Anyone know why it isn't showing the latest Telus 10n update for me?

EDIT2: nvm managed to find 10N update via LG Bridge
[G4 General] Kevotwo:
marshmallow is out, just updated on koodo canada
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Should be telus and koodo.

One the 3rd rogers and fido and mts

Bell virgin no word
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Good news on the Telus rollout. It seems to me that Telus has been quicker with the updates for the G4...i was using their update earlier in the fall as they had an update out first that allowed me to get my touchscreen working better.

Normally I would just wait for Bell to release something, but no guarantees that their rom is imminent.... Telus was weeks ahead of Bell earlier this year.
[G4 General] alexvtr:
What's your experience so far?

Obviously it's too early for battery life but what changes are you noticing most?
[G4 General] ravedave2005:
getting the update via LG Bridge right now! Phone is Telus but i have no sim card in it now
[G4 General] maverickmarc:
Marshmallow update from telus now available through LG Bridge, but not OTA yet
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
At this point I m wondering whether to stick with the rooted lollipop or update to marshmallow since marshmallow doesn't have root.
[G4 General] qwerty123321:
Hi all, just returned to stock telus 10g. I used lg bridge last night and it updated me to 10n however the 10n it updated me to was the rogers variant with volte...which caused me to lose data despite having proper apn.. Anyone ever had this issue ?
[G4 General] s0ulreaver:
Virgin update to MM is also available through LG bridge, OTA it isn't being offered yet.

I can't say why but on devtester, the MM images for Rogers, Telus and Videotron are already available for download as of today but not for Bell/Virgin.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Same here. Root is very important to me so it seems like I might be stuck here on lollipop forever :(
[G4 General] AmonX:
Hopefully we will be able to root MM up until I bought this G4 I have been running kit kat on all my devices so I am used to running old versions of Android.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Like I've been saying, what is all the hype about? You guys can barely handle a locked bootloader. With MM goes your root access now too, just enjoy your phone. Enjoy 5.1, enjoy 6.0. Whatever update you are on, like it or swap your device for one you can actually have fun with. What is the point of having the phone if you are not happy with its functionality?

Since the very first time I was faced with upgrading my device from the Motorola Milestone, I've came on XDA and researched my options and picked the phone that suited me best. Don't just dive into something because you want it right then and there because you might end up regretting it in the end. Every two pages seemed to be the same recycled posts as of lately and it is taxing. MM, locked bootloader, I hate my G4.

If you are barely holding onto your G4 at the moment with the state it is in with 5.X updates, DON'T UPGRADE TO MARSHMALLOW.
[G4 General] qwerty123321:
Can anyone help me out here?

I have a Rogers bought G4. I am on Telus network, last night I flashed back to stock using Telus 10G KDZ however whenever I use LG Bridge to get new updates, it downloads the Rogers updates instead of Telus updates for this phone..

Last night I updated from 10G Telus to 10N ROgers. I ended up re-flashing kdz back to 10G

Today, MM is released and it looks like I'll be going from 10G Telus to 20E MM (Rogers) also..
[G4 General] AmonX:
If it is a rogers phone don't you need the rogers rom for your phone? Have you tried http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada looking for the firmware you want?
[G4 General] qwerty123321:
The phone is from Rogers but I need Telus variant software in order for data to work properly (yes I've inputted the correct app on Rogers rom; still doesn't work )
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
You cannot update a Rogers device via LG Bridge and get Telus updates. You have to wait for Rogers to release MM. Just because you have a Telus SIM card in and have flashed Telus firmware it doesn't mean you have a Telus device.

No.

It does not matter what carriers ROM is on the device. If a phone has all of the same hardware, it doesn't matter where the software comes from, it will work on the device. Every H812 is the exact same as one another, so all ROMs from all carriers can be applied to any device. Doesn't matter if you have a Telus, Bell, or Rogers G4, any update released from any of those carriers will work on any of the devices.
[G4 General] qwerty123321:
Thanks for the info. How would I go about getting the update then? OTA isn't showing anything. Not even the 5.1 security update (10N). On top of that, the previous posters mentioned that Telus has released marshmallow as of today yet I'm not seeing it on OTA. On bridge I only see the rogers 20E Marshmallow update whereas I want Telus Marshmallow
[G4 General] AmonX:
Not that he would need it but doesnt he lose access to voLTE for not having the rogers rom?
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
I got rogers lg4 and i updated via lg brigde.

You have to wait till someone posts the rom for telus.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Yes, you are correct.
[G4 General] Avn1007:
Bell H812

FYI Bell also released MM via LG Bridge today
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:

[G4 General] qwerty123321:
What is the version number on this Telus MM update?
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
20e
[G4 General] xavierlangevin1:
Yes it's working after the 20E update !

"For Rogers rom only"
[G4 General] Azure1203:
I would have no problem upgrading to 6.0 if I could change the DPI.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
You do not need root to change the DPI.

Install SDK

Turn on debugging

Use ADB in Command Prompt/Terminal

adb shell wm density XXX && adb reboot
[G4 General] Albicorp:
I assume root is not yet possible for MM (TELUS/Rogers)?
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Nope. It hasn't been rooted yet.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Makes an account to ask this question, but can't look back one page. :eek:
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
My Bell G4 is now downloading MM via OTA. I hit the download button too quickly to take note of the version number :p

edit: v20e, Jan 12, 932mb.

I'm diving in...LG Backup done, Nova backup done....I'll update, and then do a factory reset and then restore some texts, Nova stuff, etc.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
I am fairly sure that all carriers are running 20E right now, if you really wanted to know.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Seemed like to me, that for most of this year Bell's software was a version or two behind (or at least the naming scheme was). There was no guarantee that the numbering or version info would be the same (but you are right, the version numbers all align this time).
[G4 General] anterus:
how is AntiRollback in v20e? Is it still 0, and can I flash v10 back?
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
Anti-rollback version is 0 on 20e. I am not sure if the ensures v10 can be flashed back though, as I have not investigated this option.
[G4 General] polskon:
FYI I am able to update on Koodo OTA now. The update wasn't working through the LG Bridge or Support Tool. Both were telling me some sort of incompatibility.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Is this confirmed to work? I thought there was an issue with it sticking after a reboot...
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Please, go ahead and test it out for the community and let us know what your findings are.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
My initial reactions to 20e/MM on my Bell device are that responsiveness and taps are working as they should. I dare say that the phone feels snappier, but that could be placebo.

Only app I have tried that seems to have an issue with MM is GPS+ app. Later on (after work) I'll see if the 'ignore optimizations' setting gets it working, but its no big deal. Will take a week or more to determine if the battery and doze works well for me.
[G4 General] koontzy65:
yup look a bit faster and snappier here too

Can't wait to see for the battery life since battery on 5.1 is horrible (one of the worst I saw)
[G4 General] maverickmarc:
Anyone have a link to where I can get my hands on the Official 6.0 firmware for Telus? Thanks in advance
[G4 General] spartan268:
Looks like the updates are rolling out for Rogers and Telus folks according to Reddit. If you received no notification, give it a run on LG Bridge instead.
[G4 General] maverickmarc:
LGH812	ATLSLK	H81210F_00	TLS	TELUS ......is this the Marshmellow or Lollipop ROM? I've already updated to Marshmellow but would like to do a clean install
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
That is the lollipop version.
[G4 General] maverickmarc:
I'm tired of searching for the Marshmellow kdz, do you know where I can find it?
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
devtester.ro is your best bet for now. I guess wait for them to update it. Although the last time i checked they didn't update the Rogers KDZ to the 10n or 10o whichever one was the latest at the time. They were still on the 10H version.
[G4 General] maverickmarc:
I was hoping that LG Bridge would of saved of a copy of it while updating, but nope :(
[G4 General] mb_guy:
Look here

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\LG Electronics\LG Bridge\SWUpgrade
[G4 General] maverickmarc:
Thanks, but it's not in there :(
[G4 General] mb_guy:
Yes, I just looked again. It deleted when finished. However I copied it out first. Very large how can I get to you.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Upload it to Mega, send it to me. I'll upload it again to android file host permanently.
[G4 General] maverickmarc:
Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive would work, someone will probably take it from you and find a permanent home for it
[G4 General] mb_guy:
Too large, uploading to Googledrive, will email you later
[G4 General] bitemark01:
Does anyone have the last stock Lollipop Rogers image, H81210n? I've looked everywhere for it and can't find it.

I upgraded to Marshmallow yesterday and I didn't realize Google now *requires* anything that syncs via bluetooth to also have Location Services enabled. I find that to be a huge battery drain, not to mention completely unecessary and somewhat invasive.

This means if you have a device that syncs, it won't work without Location Services running. I have a Garmin Vivosmart, just a step counter, and it won't work at all without that. I don't see any other advantages to 6.0 either.

Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Been looking for the 10n version myself, i can't find it either. I haven't upgraded to Marshmallow yet, and i m not planning to until root is available. The 10h should be out there though, if its not I have the file too which i could upload if needed.
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Well, I don't really want to upgrade unless I know for sure it will work....
[G4 General] jainanshal:
I am unsure myself, don't want to upgrade to MM without root but is anyone working on getting root for H812? H815 already has it so I am not sure if there's any active development for root anymore.

So while I don't want to upgrade right now, I don't want to be stuck at LP as well.

Regarding the 10n version, I believe you can flash 10h (which is available from the link in the first post) and then should get OTA for 10n.
[G4 General] bitemark01:
If you could upload 10h somewhere that'd be greatly appreciated. The closest I've come is a dead link to (I think) 10h at devtester.

Regarding the 10n version, I believe you can flash 10h (which is available from the link in the first post) and then should get OTA for 10n.[/QUOTE]

The link for 10h at devtester is dead, even if you try to supplement the link like they suggest. Also on Rogers OTA updates now bump you to Marshmallow.
[G4 General] jainanshal:
Sorry, you're right, the link for 10h doesn't work.
[G4 General] buski:
can with flash mm ota download with lollipop rooted with latest flashfire? its been updated for mm http://www.xda-developers.com/flashfire-updated-with-android-6-0-and-ota-support/
[G4 General] Buddyjohn:
someone on MM please test this, with systemless root and maybe even xposed

EDIT: realized how stupid that was... blame it on lack of sleep
[G4 General] qu3becker:
Root is needed for FlashFire. Not sure what you're asking there.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
I can only share what I receive so if you guys have stock KDZ's that you cannot find else where, send them to me so I can add them to the OP as well. I've only uploaded what I have access to and have only received rooted system images.

I don't know if this will work, but perhaps try downgrading to an available version through Dev host and then try updating via LG Bridge. You might be able to snag the most recent KDZ's via that method.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
I am uploading 10h ryt now I will link it to you as soon as it's done.
[G4 General] mb_guy:
20e is on Googledrive for you

[G4 General] VTech1855:
Hello, I'm currently using an LG G4 H81220e, I don't know what the software version was before.

I didn't realize the update I just installed on my phone was an entirely new OS, I thought it was an update for Lollipop. I absolutely hate mm and want to go back to Lollipop. The only way I can go back to Lollipop is to root my phone, correct? I rooted my LG G2 without issue before, but this time I would like some information first.

First, am I able to root this phone as it is now (marshmallow) with Lollipop? And second, are the steps to do so different from the guides in OP? Third, I noticed that the guide has a "commands to run" section; if my model isn't there does that mean there are no commands to run or don't try this you can't?
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
there's no root for marshmallow for us yet. should see if they updated the boot loader.
[G4 General] VTech1855:
Literally the worst thing I've heard today.

How does an updated boot loader help?
[G4 General] bitemark01:
You won't need to root your phone. Who's your carrier? You can get a .kdz file and search for software called "LGUP" to roll back to lollipop.
