[G4 General] biff6789:
With all due respect, rather than tossing a red herring fallacy at me, can you please specifically cite what is factually incorrect about my original statement re: the majority of G4 models shipping with locked bootloaders?

The issue at hand is not regarding your claim concerning whether the international world largely allows unlocked bootloaders on phones (an assertion which itself is not fully correct, but I digress), the issue is whether or not the LG G4 - the actual device in question in a thread containing questions about Marshmallow and its potential rooting path on the G4 - will be possible with a locked bootloader now that Android 6.0 has kernel flags to prevent root. Here is a summary of all G4 models and their bootloader status:

H815 LTE-A - Unlockable

H811 - Unlockable

F500K - Locked Bootloader

H815T - Locked Bootloader

H818 - Locked Bootloader

H818P LTE-A - Locked Bootloader

H810 - Locked Bootloader

LS991 - Locked Bootloader

US991 - Locked Bootloader

VS986 - Locked Bootloader

^^ As you can see, the majority of G4 models (some of which are on major carriers with millions of devices sold) are locked.

My original point stands: This is a problem for the majority of us with locked bootloaders since, as I explained earlier, Google has added a forceencrypt flag to the AOSP kernel which blocks root. In the past we (more or less) only had to find a way to get SuperSU and some additional binaries into the /system partition to achieve root. But now it seems that is only half the battle as we might now need to find a way to run a custom kernel as well. Can't flash a custom kernel with a locked bootloader.

Also, as I stated in my original post, perhaps a workaround will be found (or perhaps - although very unlikely - LG will remove this flag from their kernel source when they build it for the G4), but I'm not too hopeful about our chances of attaining root on M.
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
F500K (Korean) is also unlocked, but nobody except vn_mobile has access to unlock it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63062081&postcount=183

Luckily for H811 TMO USA, I'll just probably just create a new bootstack to make it easily M flashable.
[G4 General] admirdante:
Um, sorry if I miss part of your argument, but yes, you can flash a custom kernel with a locked bootloader. I used to do it all the time on my G3, before I got my G4. Now, the only problem is that the roms have to be bump'd and so do the kernels, but it is possible.
[G4 General] tdevaughn:
The G3 had a bootloader bypass, the G4 doesn't. Hence the reason why there aren't any kennels for anything but ones with it unlocked
[G4 General] player911:
I put 6.0 on my nexus devices, not really much different than lollipop with some fixes and tweaks. I think rooting will probably stay the same.
[G4 General] Daemos:
Let me add non 815 European models (so SEA, TWN, etc) also do not have unlockable bootloaders.
[G4 General] Mad_Duke:
General European plus international model:

H815 LTE-A - Unlockable

Others mostly irrelevant:

F500K - Irrelevant market size

H815T - Irrelevant market size

H818 -Also + Dual SIM model, not the same.

H818P LTE-A - Also + Dual SIM model, not the same.

US:

H811 - Unlockable (you havea choice. If you choose a carrier like these down, your problem)

H810 - Locked Bootloader - Your problem, choose carrier which doesn't lock

LS991 - Locked Bootloader - Your problem, choose carrier which doesn't lock

US991 - Locked Bootloader - Your problem, choose carrier which doesn't lock

VS986 - Locked Bootloader - Your problem, choose carrier which doesn't lock

-------

So basically. Most of the world minus US (but there is also an option) and some mostly minor markets have unlocked bootloaders so stop. :)
[G4 General] yudumcan:
Was thinking of buying H815 or H815T model. Does that mean I won't get M? I'm in New Zealand

Cheers
[G4 General] yudumcan:
these are the list of models sold in NZ at the moment prices are very different which model is likely to get the M update or will they all get it anyway? and also does your carrier effect on the update? Sorry I'm coming from iOS and this is going to be my first Android so have no idea how this whole thing works.

H815

H818

H815T LTE

H818P

H818N

F500

F500 being the most expensive $887

The 2.51 beta seems to be rather generic stuff... Doesn't mean it will work for us.

But Autoprime's stuff got me really excited !

What about this v0 qfuse ?

Envoyé de mon A0001 avec XDA Forums
[G4 General] 5nickers:
yeah the interesting question is, how do i see if i have v0 qfuse?
[G4 General] oile:
Autoprime said H815 is qfuse 0 till now like all the international versions. Only us ones may be 1 if they have taken an ota
[G4 General] 5nickers:
So the chance that the H818P is also v0 are high. Nice :)
[G4 General] ko0l:
Hi this is misleading as not all H815 is unlockable. Only the european version is unlockable. And the rest of the world is locked. The H815 released in asia ( singapore, taiwan, malaysia) is not unlockable and just as big as a market as europe.

So you have the americas/ canada which are locked, oceania aust and new zealand locked, asia also locked. So pretty much all the continents besides europe is locked.
[G4 General] KonterBiER:
Maybe we soon see unofficial bootloader unlock on all devices:

[G4 General] zkyevolved:
They announced Doze is included in their version of 6.0, specifically stating it'll drastically increase your battery life. But remember, Doze is only in STANDBY and for LONG PERIODS. Not shutting off the screen for 2 minutes and then using it again. You shouldn't see any improvement there...
[G4 General] daglesj:
I doubt it too. I can charge my G4 up at 12 o'clock at night, unplug it and pick it up at 10am and it will still be at 100% charge. The G4 idles brilliantly IMO.
[G4 General] zkyevolved:
Well, this is a known issue. The G4 idles at 100% for a LONG time and then begins to lose % quickly afterwards (compared to the first 2%).

I can unplug it at 100% and all night it'll stay at 100%, but if I leave it all night from 60%, then I'll wake up the next day with 56%. Which is a 3.X% loss when the night before it was at <1%.

It has been discussed a few times on multiple forums. But regardless, the G4 has MONSTER standby compared to others.
[G4 General] daglesj:
Nothing to worry about. Unplugged at 9am this morning...at 96% now.

Just don't expect to use a smartphone like a Gameboy.
[G4 General] karendar:
The H812 will be bootloader unlockable once LGVIET releases his unlock method. Our Anti rollback version is still v0, so we're good.

Out of the box, it is not bootloader unlockable. Only H811 and H815 are.

I switched over to the LG G3 about a year ago.

There have been some deals lately on refurbished units on ebay (~$160-$190)

Its got root, and while the bootloader hasn't technically been unlocked, there is a workaround (called bump) so that you can flash a different kernel. I've used CM12 on it, and liked it, but I went back to stock based Jasminerom for the stock camera and circle case features.

My only complaint with the G3 is battery life, but I was also spoiled by the Note3.

I haven't looked into the G4 to see if it has root or any development yet.

Well, it did it again. Not sure this time if it was an OTA or what. When I went to bed, phone was at 80% because I had it in the car on the charger most of the day. When I woke up, I woke up late because the phone was dead and my alarm didn't sound. Anyway, tried all of the recommended wake-up procedures. I did get the vibration notification with the power+Vol up button, but it didn't wake/charge/anything after that. After two days of nothing no matter what I tried (including jump starting the battery) I ordered the Z5 compact. If anyone has any ideas, I am still open to saving my Z3c.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] audit13:
I recommend trying again with Odin 3.07.

In Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Connect the tablet in download mode, flash the tar.md5 file in PDA. When you see the word "Reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, press and hold the power button to power off the unit. After the unit is off, use the key combination to boot immediately into recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset. If that doesn't work, you may need to flash the ROM in combination with a pit file.

Did you download the stock ROM from sammobile? If you did, you should unzip the file once which gives you a tar.md5 file. It is this tar.md5 that is flashed in the PDA section of Odin 3.07.

The firmware named in the original post looks like it matches Cellular South.

I'm not sure if the 5110 was sold in the USA. If your model is wifi only, another country may work. If it's celluar, different countries use different frequencies which means cross flashing may work but connectivity (wifi and cellular) may not work.
