Need help!

The screen doesn't wake up or stay awake when there's not enough light. It's still under warranty so I'm going back to stock and see if I can send it back to LG.

The version on my phone is 812c. I managed to get it rooted back in September that's before I found out there's no roms anyway.

I tried to download the Bell 812N but it won't let me. Just a blank screen. pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FWE3IBH132HOA4LD97CD9NO/H81210E_00.kdz

Could somebody show me the steps to get the Bell rooted 812c to Bell stock 812N? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

Well, I got it unrooted. But the screen is still the same.
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
For the download page, it says "Update

Note: for download links that start with http://pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev - and they don't trigger the download properly please change it with http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev or http://pkg02.azure.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev but keep the URL structure (fileKey and kdz file)."

Did you try adjusting the download link as described?
[G4 General] YdidIgetG4?:
I didn't adjust the link but tried different browsers. I ended up using LG software and manually updated the phone. The phone is now 812O without root.

'

I looks like the snesnor is partially blocked. If the phone is up, I can bring it to a dark room and it's working fine. If it went to sleep,. the screen will come one for a brief second and go dark again. I got the same effect if I put my thumb over it in a birght room.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Do you have a screen protector on the phone? Can you shine a light at it and tell if the sensor is blocked?

[G4 General] kwarwick:
As a user that recently moved from a Nexus 5 with MM to the G4 running LP I'm wondering do we even want MM? Battery life was significantly worse for me when I upgraded the Nexus 5 to MM and it seems there are similar complaints with MM on the G4.

My G4 is currently giving me way better battery life than the Nexus 5 was so I'm not sure I'll be in big rush to upgrade given MM doesn't seem to bring much from a user point of view.
[G4 General] fenomen0:
Your battery is a way better because of bigger capacity. You can compare them. I still have my nexus 5 with marshmallow and it's a way better than Lilipop. And there's not improvements of battery only.
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
O is the latest one right?
[G4 General] nivag1710:
So, unless LG Canada agrees to unlock the bootloader, custom ROMs will unfortunately never be available for our device? Wish I would have known that before purchasing one.

H81210n KDZ image

Why is there no H81210n stock KDZ image? I have this phone with 10n software from Fido and want to root. I have found the 10n root image, but the OP of this thread states that a stock H81210n image needs to be flashed first before I can root. Obviously I can just go ahead and root because I have this stock image installed already but where do I get download this stock image?
[G4 General] fenomen0:
In your case you don't need to flash stock because you're on stock. Just step forward. You need to flash it only in case your phone is rooted. [emoji6]
[G4 General] qwerty123321:
Can anyone tell me the latest software version for rogers is ? I'm currently on h but I was prompted for an software update..
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Im sure its 10n . but some say 10o. Im on rogers 10n
[G4 General] s0ulreaver:
H8120o, released on December 24th so you are a few versions behind.

I took the info from here:

http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada
[G4 General] Buddyjohn:
rogers is n and bell/virgin(maybe some other carriers) is o.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

the prompt that you got will be for the latest version on rogers. from what i understand it is 10n.

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

yes on bell/virgin(and maybe some other carriers) 10n looks to be the latest on rogers though.
[G4 General] s0ulreaver:
So the DevTester website must be wrong.

http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada

They mention the Rogers firmware update release on the same date when the others got version o.
[G4 General] SeanInToronto:
The devtester website has to be wrong. I'm on Fido, which is the same as Rogers, and I'm on 10n.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
No there right. Fido is same as rogers. But bell and telus just using 10o firmware.

But who cares now. Update should be coming within 2 weeks. Maybe friday. Maybe next week Friday.

Since we cant flash any roms anyways, never bothered rooting this baby. With the last update the touch issues are gone. Nothing bugging me now.
[G4 General] s0ulreaver:
For me the touchscreen issues are still happening every now and then.

I got my G4 last week and based on the LG info tool, my phone was made in the 2nd week of December.

It's strange to still see these issues on a device built so recently.

What bothers me more is the locked bootloader.
[G4 General] nivag1710:
Not sure if this will do any good, but there is a growing petition to LG to unlock the boot loader.

https://www.change.org/p/lg-electronics-unlock-bootloader-on-all-g4-devices
[G4 General] imeem:
Does any1 know out of the 5.5 inch screen, what is the usable screen space if you exclude the software nav bar? I'm in a long debate if I should get the LG g4 or rebuy the note 4. Or wait until the s7 and note 6 and then decide again.

I like the way the g4 holds in hand and feels more portable, but the bootloop issue is making me worry and the phone seems to have less function than the note 4.
[G4 General] Buddyjohn:
i believe the nav bar takes about half an inch from the bottom. once rooted and xposed you can get apps the can shrink the nav bar height. mine is set to about half of what the default is.

edit: i have no idea what the actual height of the default nav bar is, just guessed half inch
[G4 General] s0ulreaver:
I guess you didn't see my signature... ;)

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

I was having the same dilemma... Coming from a Galaxy S4 I really don't feel I am losing much screen estate due to the software nav bar. Depending on the app you use, the nav bar will auto-hide when using a full screen app.

About the boot loop, it seems to be a problem with a specific batch of G4s:

...

I have received confirmation from LG that series from May, June, July and August are afflicted by this issue and that the revision number doesn't matter. They also said that it is not necessary that all phones in these series will fail, but that under certain circumstances (not disclosed to me) they will start producing the bootloop issue which is h/w bound.

...

The G4 I got last week was made in the 2nd week of December 2015 and the S/N starts with 512 so I have high hopes this issue won't happen.

If camera performance has any importance, you'll love the G4.
[G4 General] goofball2k:
Looks like perhaps Feb 1st for Marshmallow for Telus. Wonder if/how MM can be rooted without an unlocked bootloader.

http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/01/14/l...llow-update-february-1st-lg-g3-on-march-14th/
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Maybe we are lucky and it can be unlocked soon

Official or unofficial.

If not i will be selling my phone. Its getting ridiculous waiting for unlock. :banghead:
[G4 General] n023b:
What is the difference between flashing a pre-rooted image and just rooting it yourself?

I have a Fido/Rogers LG G4 that I want to root.
[G4 General] killer23d:
Part of the security in MM is that it will not boot when the OS is not signed or modified. We need an unlock bootloader so that we can flash boot.img to bypass that. Once we put MM on, we will lose root. I think we are slightly better off because we don't have an anti-roll back compare to the US models.

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

It's the same, just someone did the leg work and you are reaping the benefits.:)
[G4 General] n023b:
Thanks. One last question my current build for my Fido/Rogers phone is H81210N but under Rogers there is an "H" img... From what I understand if I want to flash the "H" file I need to flash the "H" stock img... What is the difference is the "H" build just newer?
[G4 General] goofball2k:
the H build is older. The build you have is newer (N).
[G4 General] spartan268:
Under certain circumstances?

Seems like they know the issue (That's a given) and how to reproduce it. But would rather have us go through a bootloop post warranty and get a cash grab rather than warn us... Or maybe it's my inner conspiracy theory talking
[G4 General] n023b:
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get rid of carrier bloatware?

Thanks
[G4 General] spartan268:
For whatever can't be uninstalled the standard way, you can use the 'Debloater' app for your computer. Then you plug in your phone and it will show all your APKs. Now you'll have to track down which apks are from the carrier. Most of the time it's pretty explicit which one is which.
[G4 General] Jason123420:
bootloop issue just happened to my phone.. stock.. no root.. just randomly shut off and now bootloops.. does anyone know how to fix this or should I just go get a new phone??

edit:

flashing kdz does nothing

factory reset does nothing

lg bridge got me into the phone for about 3 min the rebooted again back into a boot loop

definitely a hardware issue

hopefully I can get a different phone.. just too many issues with the g4.. touch screen and now this
[G4 General] nivag1710:
No way that I know of other than rooting & using titanium backup.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully rooted the Rogers software version 10n? I've been getting increasingly frustrated with the bloatware, lack of rotating lockscreen & inability to modify the dpi of a variety of apps to make use of the beautiful 5.5 screen.

I'm not sure the possibility/wait for a rooted marshmallow version is worth my frustrations. Any help would be appreciated.
[G4 General] killer23d:
If you already flashed KDZ then there is nothing more you can do. Time to get a warranty replacement.
[G4 General] ShroudOfAgony:
I managed to root mine with no problems.
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Does anyone have the link for the latest Stock Rogers kdz? I was searching for it and can't find any links.
[G4 General] killer23d:
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada

search for 812 and replace the URL with the instruction
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
I thought the latest rogers was 10o?
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
No its 10n
[G4 General] Jok3r10:
Yeah on the devtester.ro it says it's 10h.. Lol
[G4 General] qu3becker:
Yup. The last version ain't on devtester.ro. Download 10h, flash and then update. That's what I did since I'm waiting for Marshmallow to arrive on my Rogers G4.
[G4 General] qwerty123321:

[G4 General] Spudnubs:
http://cgcellparts.ca/lg/lg-g4.html

I get all of my parts from here. They are pretty good, it's a 3500mAh battery as well. I've inquired about quickcharge functionality.

They do not have information about quickcharge for the battery listed, but I've been informed that they can also supply you with an OEM battery for an additional fee.
[G4 General] spartan268:
3500?? Does it retain the original battery size or does it stick out? That extra 500 would really make a difference if it's the real deal
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
It does not stick out, they are physically the same sized battery.
[G4 General] spartan268:
My god. I might just buy this as my daily driver and have two spares :D
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
As a rule, I am very, very, very, very skeptical about batteries that report capacity above stock while maintaining the same size as oem.

Do we have any stats that back up the extra capacity? It might be a decent battery but I would be thrilled to finally see a battery beat oem stock at the same size, after years of having phones with removable batteries.... And I have trust issues with manufacturers that exaggerate battery capacity too...
[G4 General] goofball2k:
If you believe the pictures from both cgcellparts.ca and aliexpress, it's a few bucks cheaper on aliexpress for the same battery.

[G4 General] arbitarytwist:
Got the phone. Read through the forums on the dissapointment with locked boot loader. Makes me wonder if i should keep the phone or sell it as the G5 is announced in less than a month. I suspect the G4 price will drop significantly.

If i do decide to root, should i go with Original Root Method for the LG G4 - [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] or DIY Root Injection Guide - [MENTION=4545681]hackarchive[/MENTION]. Also i am on 10n with Fido. Do i need to downgrade to 10G 1st and the use image ? If i downgrade then how do i get the updates and fixes until 10n ? Is there a root for marshmallow yet ? I don't seem to find one other than the H815. I understand the canadian firmware is not released yet.

Would appreciate the help.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
I read this post every week from someone and I can't stand it. Do your research before you sink a bunch of money into an expensive device or go on swappa or ebay and buy an H815 that can be unlocked. That being said...

Both root methods are essentially the same. Do whatever method suits you best. Quick and simple, though:

There is a rooted 10N image in the first post. Take that rooted image, put it in the root of your SD card, find out what port your phone is plugged into on your computer with their supplied root tools, put your device into download mode, run a cmd window from that same root tools package and flash root with the code in their thread and type in LEAVE and your device should be rooted in less than five minutes.
[G4 General] arbitarytwist:
Thanks for the reply. The first post states to use only rogers image with a rogers/fido phone so we don't loose VOLTE. Rogers only has the 10h posted, so thats why i asked. So can you use any other image with rogers/fido then ?

On the note of the phone, it was too good a deal to pass and Fido doesn't have that many phone. I will just leave it that. So no arguments further on this.
[G4 General] nabbasi:
Hi, if you need 10n rogers version with rooted let me know I will uploaded for u...;)
[G4 General] arbitarytwist:

[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Remember to share the rooted image with me so I can post it to the original post.

Is there a way to backup my FIDO KDZ. I don't see a Fido KDZ anywhere. Or is it really the exact same as rogers ?
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Its really the same.

Rogers = fido = mts

Bell = virgin = sasktel

Telus = koodo =?
[G4 General] Humu Toor:
Is it required to go back to stock firmware before upgrading root? I want to flash 10n for my rogers device but can't find stock 10n firmware on the devtester site. If so, [MENTION=4797043]nabbasi[/MENTION] is it possible to upload the stock 10n file as well? Thanks
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Yes. Rogers, Bell and Telus are all parent companies of those.

You need to be on the same software version as the rooted image you flash or you are probably going to run into issues. Maybe try updating via LG Bridge first and see if that updates you to the Rogers 10N update, but do not flash the rooted 10N image if you are not in the 10N build.
[G4 General] jainanshal:
Yes, this works... I just updated my rooted Rogers G4 to 10n using LG Bridge.

Just fyi, LG Bridge will download the full rom (appx 1.6GB). You'll lose root but your data & apps will remain intact (at least mine did).
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Glad to hear that you've successfully updated via bridge. Even with KDZ files, everything should stay as is, unless you choose the option for a fresh install. I've updated the main post with the rooted Rogers 10N image. Any Rogers users who make use of it, don't forget to thank nabbasi for their hard work and dedication for supplying you with the image that you've used to root your device. This is a community effort and every bit of help counts!

Thanks to all.
[G4 General] Humu Toor:
My phone is unable to connect to LG Bridge, my computer recognizes the phone, but LG Bridge states that there is no phone connected. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers with no success. I'm on Windows 10.
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Most of them but not sasktel or mts. There company by them self's. Just using bell or Rogers devices
[G4 General] jainanshal:
No need to install drivers separately, LG Bridge installs drivers with it. On my Windows 10 machine, installation of LG Bridge followed by update of drivers followed by update to LG Bridge itself.

Also, make sure USB debugging is turned off and you need to connect to G4 in MTP mode.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Make sure you are using an actual data cord. Some are just meant for charging as well as what jainanshal said.

My bad, I've never even heard of MTS or Sasktel before and to be honest, I didn't even register reading them when I had read the comment.
[G4 General] Humu Toor:
Thanks for both of your responses. I turned off usb debugging and have tried numerous cables. When I plug it, LG Bridge says connecting then fails. I'll keep fiddling around hopefully it works.

Update: I found out what the issue was. LG Bridge, didn't seem to recognize my internet. I tried using a hotspot from my phone and it started working. Weird. Thank you for all your help.

Thanks! I just checked my Rogers G4 on Telus 10f firmware. The anti-rollback # is still 0! So hope is not all lost yet!

Another Rogers device here. Got 0 on the anti-rollback and the sub sw. Looking good for us Canadians

My last entries on the list are:

That's it. Maybe my string is not good enough? Or bell don't have that to show?

Hi . thank you for your response.

Actuelly I had rooted my LG G4 on bell H812H10e but I wanted to update to the latest software. Now I am on bell H81210o. I followed the instructions and the only thing I did not find on this forum was the command which I used from Xda but another forum. which is for H81210s.

And it seems to me that it was rooted and I see superSu installed on my phone.

but when I run the root checker it takes very long time with the results Sorry root access is not properly installed on this device.

Where could be the problem ? thank you

note:

updated supers and its rooted.
[G4 General] nivag1710:
I finally got around to rooting the phone last night. After some careful reading & a couple of YouTube clips, the I've got a rooted Rogers n with xposed installed. All in all, about 45 minutes of time invested from start to finish. Thanks to all those who make this possible!
[G4 General] crzygrmn:
Actually mts and rogers using same devices now. Started with the galaxy s3 i think.

Every locked to rogers device i tested works with my mts sim card without unlocking code.

Except iphones i cannot confirm .
[G4 General] arbitarytwist:
I guess they are the same roms, but each one adds their own Bloatware, as the Fido, Rogers phones come with their own different bloatwares out of the box.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
Taking a wild guess here, did you install STOCK Bell 10o before you flashed the rooted Bell 10o image?

So glad we can help!
[G4 General] vsTerminus:
Just a quick question to make sure I'm not a total dumbass...

A friend of mine is looking at buying a G4 soon. I already went through the work of rooting mine and flashing Xposed + XtremeAudio, de-bloating, tweaking the camera and build.prop, etc. If we're both on H812 version 10n are there any issues with me just exporting my system.img and having him flash that instead of one of the images here that is only rooted?

I'd rather not have to coach him through installing Xposed with Flashfire, because it was 20 minutes of blank screen for me.
[G4 General] Spudnubs:
I probably wouldn't do that. Smart phones are pretty fussy when it comes to this kind of stuff. To put it simply, each device has a mind and a body of its own and if you try to put your phones mind into his phones body, it might get a little fussy. I have no experience in doing exactly what you said you want to do, I can't see anything going too terribly wrong, but there still might be issues. You could always try it and report back with your findings.

I think it would just be easier to root his phone yourself and install xposed. It really isn't that hard of a process unless you cannot physically be there yourself. I know how hard it is to explain how to do this stuff when you're not there.

Good luck! Let me know if you need anything.
