It would be epic for the original update for H815 to be launched exactly when he finds a fix. Anyways I'll test all these methods tomorrow on my H815, see if I can get modem working.
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
Please post as soon as you get it up and running. Hopefully, if you find something, it'll work for other variants too. It's taken LG long enough for this update and I think everyone wants a taste of Nougat on their phones.:fingers-crossed:

What I tried was I took the modem bin file from the KDZ of the stock firmware of my device and I had the idea of replacing the modem of the Korean KDZ, though I couldn't find a way to do that.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
your idea was fine, but the MM modem won't work on Nougat. At least it didn't work for me.

You can extract .kdz nougat, extract .kdz v20p , take the modem.bin and replace it. Either flash .bin files separately , either repack the whole thing to .kdz and flash it.

But it won't work , you will waste your time. And for that to be altered it's not something one person can do (i don't know if he has help). If he is alone , don't hope it will be ready before the official. It's too much work for one person.
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
I'm already prepared to go back to stock MM if neither alex2000 nor Xmod can find a solution to this modem problem, but I'm staying on this broken software until it's released officially in America. At least I have another phone I can use for calling and texting.

Thanks for your insight about fixing the modem.
[G4 Android Development] asingha94:
Only solution to your problem would be swapping network selection.There is no helpful option that I can see other than those.

Although you can dial *#546368#*500#..There is also several network test option in device test menu.I am not sure what those do though.
[G4 Android Development] thamjeedp:
Open the service menu by dialling 5457#*500# and select Multi band selection. Then turn on all the bands. Apply. Your phone will restart with all the bands active.
[G4 Android Development] alex2000robert:
Sorry guys but I didn't make it. I tried changing roaming settings and dialing 5457#*500# and tweaking pretty much all the settings, but to no avail. It was still worth trying :)

Picture Quality

Could anyone who has upgraded their G4 to Nougat please confirm if the picture quality decreases or not.

I'd love to upgrade but not to reduced photo quality

If you install the F500K KDZ on your device, you can redeem Google's free 100gb for Drive a second time if you haven't already. Pretty useful. :good:

It seems that it does slightly decrease in quality. It isn't too noticeable until you zoom in.

I guess we're just going to have to wait for the official update then.

(Unless Xmod is successful; at that point we would be praising him like a god)
[G4 Android Development] Bunhok:
Hello All,

After I downloaded the file, how can I upgrade my phone?
[G4 Android Development] thamjeedp:
Try to initialize International roaming as i said earlier. Mine worked after a couple of reboots.If you are lucky enough you'll get it. And pls tell what model is your phone and the model of firmware kdz so that everyone knows exactly.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
its called search box :)

take the end of the file named ".kdz" and type: "how to flash .kdz"

you will get a million results :) read and do it.

every g4 needs a different .dll (you will understand when you read a guide), so don't ask for a .dll anywhere. Ask someone , at a thread , that has f500.
[G4 Android Development] thamjeedp:
Pls tell your phone model and the kdz model that you downloaded. If they are same,you can flash directly ising LGUP. Or else you would have to edit kdz to your phone model using Winhex, then flash.
[G4 Android Development] alex2000robert:
I tried it on H815, with F500K version (v30c). I already came back to MM, sorry :( anyways we should expect the official update pretty soon.
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
For anyone wondering and people who care, the F500L rom appears to have the least bloat (judging from the videos Xmod posted showing off the update).

Speaking of which, could the F500L KDZ be changed like the F500K KDZ to be flashed on other variants?
[G4 Android Development] UltimateDream:
i tried to install this on h818p but the touch doesn't work
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
Yeah. BTW what Xmod videos? And guys, has anyone tried flashing LG V10 modem? It's basically clone of our phone(in terms of modem it's 99% same)
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
Here's one of Xmod's videos. He's been posting them for a while but he hasn't been very active as of late.

[youtube]Go6a4T6ZG-c[/youtube]

Anyways, flashing the V10's modem might work if someone's willing to try it.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

That might be a hardware issue. Are you still able to boot into download mode? As long as you can do that, you can flash stock. However, if the touch screen is still acting up, you need to send in your phone for repair.
[G4 Android Development] :
I had a similar problem. Read my comments. I solved this problem, but now I have the problem that even though I enter the pin code for the SIM card, the network does not work. I have sent my device to service.

[G4 Android Development] UltimateDream:
yup i have the same problem right now

what did they tell you ?
[G4 Android Development] thamjeedp:
Its very good that you are trying. It will be of great help to others if you are successful. I'll tell you what i did exactly.

My phone was actually F500L. But i was using a H815 lolipop rom to get root access. So, after i got to know about the Nougat release, I downloaded F500L30B, editted and flashed using LGUP. I did'nt get any network initially. You could see it from my Benchmark screenshot. I searched for the option for selecting network manually. But it wasnt there. There was an option called Global roaming in Settings. In that Advanced roaming settings. In that initialize roaming setting.(Screenshots attached) .As i clicked it the phone rebooted. But the network didnt come. I tried the rom in detail. tested if everything was working. I also tried to initialize roaming setting 1-2 times again. but failed. Almost after 12hrs from rom flashing, i rebooted for some reason, Suddenly the network came. I dont know what exactly triggered it.(Try being in a place with good reception for your network while doing the initialize roaming setting)

And after i got the service menu by 5457#*500# i could change GSM/WCDMA/LTE also.

It would be great if you tried it. There is nothing to loose. But if you get the network it would be totally worth it. You will love your G4 even more!!!

Hoping really that you all get your network.

We need to run a modem

[G4 Android Development] ByXmod:
Exactly ??
[G4 Android Development] Velkyrix:
Correct me if I'm wrong but unless its given to everyone as a kdz you need root to do that right?

Also thats 100% possible because the G4 and v10 are on nearly identical hardware and now nearly identical software
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
You don't need 'root' but at least custom recovery to flash modem

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Ill give it a try sometime later but I'm not going to mess with it and I'll only flash system and kernel as rest doesn't matter tbh
[G4 Android Development] ByXmod:
If we open the Tot file, it will be Without root
[G4 Android Development] raptorddd:
this is all good . but all the hassle why not wait for official. it would be important if we rest of G4 dont get it then find ways to would be a must.
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
It seems that everybody is a planck's length away from going crazy waiting for an update that should have been released 4 months ago.

And also, some variants are probably going to take longer than others, or in the worst-case scenario, won't get the update at all. May as well have the update ready for them too, it's only fair.
[G4 Android Development] TecknoFreak:
Just make the flashable Rom with the modem and edited to work with h811 and I can test it. I don't have a PC so I can't do this. But if you edit the Rom with hex to work with h811 and open the kdz and put the modem there I can try it. [emoji13]

I have limited bandwidth so I'm not playing with such things anymore ;)
[G4 Android Development] zirahel:
I really can´t understand why people are so hyped for the Nougat update. Android 7.0 is very buggy and has a huge problem with battery drain. I can promise that a majority of you with go back to MM.
[G4 Android Development] buggyglint:
I have the Canadian variant also, and I'm trying to go back to the stockkdz rom. Do you know the process? I get an error when trying to flash the stock kdz, possible because my phone now shows as F500K.
[G4 Android Development] da.vandenham:
Convert to H815 with this KDZ (refurbish): https://mega.nz/#!H8dnXDCL!hqA-yIN3dAeuqHm-H0KltL6rfTJfb0EpVcNJYkkr0GU

After that, flash a normal stock rom for your device
[G4 Android Development] :
Are you tried this?

https://mega.nz/#!H8dnXDCL!hqA-yIN3dAeuqHm-H0KltL6rfTJfb0EpVcNJYkkr0GU

After install KDZ for mobile.
[G4 Android Development] buggyglint:
Thanks guys! Flashing was successful using LGUP and Uppercut
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
At the moment, I am flashing an F500L KDZ I modified for my device. I will replicate the steps thamjeedp took to see if I can get my network fixed. If it works, I'll post. Any suggestions afterwards would be appreciated.

Even if this doesn't work, there's still the F500S rom to try.

UPDATE 1: My phone has finished its setup. I found the "initialize roaming" setting and it restarted, though my network still doesn't work.

UPDATE 2: OEM Unlock turned on in dev settings. Will try "initialize roaming" again. In the F500L's service menu (when you dial 5457#*500#) there are more options than in the F500K rom. Tampering with some options prompts for a code that I don't know.
[G4 Android Development] buggyglint:

The 7.0 Nuga LG G4 works perfectly.

6.0 Mm is definitely better
[G4 Android Development] buggyglint:
I kind of spoke a bit to soon, upon flashing the 'H815 V20o Modded.kdz' the phone boots up and I can hear the sound but the display is blank, tried to then flash a stock H812 kdz rom but I get an error saying kdz is invalid.
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
It's pretty well known that you shouldn't flash another variant's kdz on a different variant.

I have the H812 as well and trying to flash to stock MM gave me an error.
[G4 Android Development] buggyglint:
Ok, hopefully you can get GSM/LTE working om the F500L or F500S rom, and hopefully I can flash it on my my now frankstein h815/h812... :silly:
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
What does LGUP detect your phone as?

If you want to flash stock MM, download the latest KDZ from lg-firmwares.net and modify it using winhex or a similar program.

Ctrl+f and find every "H812" you can find and replace it with "H815" and flash (do this if it is detected as an H815)

You also need the LG firmware extractor to grab the dll file you need.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

CONCLUSION (FOR NOW):

I think we're just going to have to wait for someone to fix the modem.

HOWEVER,

I recommend that we use the F500L KDZ rather than the F500K KDZ to be modified for other variants. Less bloat=probably better battery life?

However, I'll still be trying to get my network working.
[G4 Android Development] Velkyrix:
Or we wait for the nougat update for other variants? It mostly depends on LG, not us :(

Check what model LG UP is showing for your device. Then download a stock MM20a firmware of that device from https://lg-firmwares.com/. Put your device to download mode. Flash using LG Flash tool 2014 using this guide http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-flash-kdz-firmware-lg/. Be careful about steps 10 & 11 in the guide.

If you have error recognizing device try uninstalling lg drivers, reboot pc, install drivers and connect phone while turning on and while in download mode. It lets the device to be recognized. After that start flashing.

Your hardware model H818P as you said. H818P/H818N are dual sim models. The rest of the phones here are single sim(H810,H811,H812,H815,F500S/L/K).
[MENTION=1871474]xmod[/MENTION] has made a video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-CQmq2et-E on how to edit the kdz. I dont know if he had tried the editted kdz on an H818P. Keep in mind, you will loose network connectivity by flashing F500S/K/L.

Also take note that even if someone will figure out way to enable network you won't be able to use it, at least dual sim capabilities but maybe even your main sim

Remove dual clock on lg g4 f500l 7.0 nougat lockscreen

Here's how you can remove the dual clocks while on the f500l nougat rom which turns on when you are roaming or connected to a network outside S.Korea. Firstly download QuickShortcutmaker from play store. Search for quick roaming settings. Click on roaming, then Roaming clock settings below it. On the new page click TRY.

The menu appears where you can untick 'Use roaming Dual-Clock'. :good::good:

[G4 Android Development] polfrank:
Wouldn't it be a good idea, if the guys that got the experimental Nougat build v29 on their H815 phones pulled the modem image with dd command and share it with all of us?

Then we could flash it over the f500 v30 one!
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
I don't believe anybody tried that yet.

Seems that nobody posted the KDZ for that firmware either. Otherwise, it probably would have been uploaded somewhere on lg-firmwares.com.

I'm just going to wait. A lot of us gave up hope trying to find a modem fix. We're almost half way through August so there's no real reason to panic about fixing the modem when the update is going to be released officially soon for other variants.
[G4 Android Development] TecknoFreak:
Is no panic but plan B mate. Why not some of the daily testers try something with what we have until the goodies come. I really miss the Moto Atrix HD days. That community mindset was to work on what we have instead of just waiting to see if is going to happen or not weeks later.
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:

Nobody has achieved root on Nougat yet. Besides, our priority at the moment is fixing the modem.
[G4 Android Development] TecknoFreak:
Wowowowow I did root without any problems by just flashing superSU and even installed Xposed for nougat.

Not this ROM though, i rooted the modified version of this ROM to work with T-Mobile version.

My question is what's different from h811 to h815 because the radio is working perfectly on TMO G4 H811. So good that everything works but the damw audio bug at making and receiving calls. Anything other then that works perfectly
[G4 Android Development] fegitoli:
Huh. With the Canadian variant, getting root seems near impossible.

If the fix for the modem requires root or the flashing of anything in recovery, then a lot of us will be stuck without a modem.
[G4 Android Development] TecknoFreak:
That sucks bro. I just wish more people will get involve with the version available for TMobile h811 as it works flawlessly. The only thing bugging is the incall audio as I mentioned.
