ok. Just a quick note as this happens more often the last days.

From NOW on:

EVERY SINGLE PM OR POST OR REQUEST ON IRC WHO ASKING ME FOR AN ETA WILL DELAY THE RELEASE

FOR 2 MORE DAYS

.

EXAMPLE: if I

would

plan to release on Tuesday and I get such a request it will be delayed until Friday.

(I say DAYS not 48 hours! Tuesday and Friday does not count here as the day of occurrence and the day of release have nothing to do with that statement.)

I see no other option stopping offending requests like that which annoying me a lot.

I understand that you all wait and got more and more impatient but there are reasons for not releasing it yet (while we are very close though...).

.
[G4 General] JMLS15:
I'm sorry if I made you angry.

I can wait 1 day or more, it will be worth it.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
It was just an example. I make no release dates until its 100% clear.

.. and it was not just your request. I get many each week.

current state and (unsorted) to-do list for the public release is (the major ones)

I need to fix or at least get a proof of a workaround if someone encounters issues like the h818. For this I work together with jmefcon as I do not own that device but we both have a real life so it takes its time

--> H818 override kernel: 100%

--> H818 TWRP: 100%

--> Unbrick jmefcon's device (he accidentially bricked it before I was able to do anything): 100%

--> Test H818 TWRP: 100%

--> analyzing root cause (again) and identify the real issue -> 20%

Current assumption: the lge.sim=2 is not enough ( [MENTION=557802]scholbert[/MENTION] ) and it seems it "just" can not load the firmware PLG468 as it is not able to identify the IC_product_id

Besides that the 2 dmesg files are from different devices and they seem to have a different LCD panel?! wtf..

Not working Net communication

Hello. I have a smartphone LG G4 but there is a problem, in the settings it is recognized as H811, on the board as H810. The devil pulled the ROOT right and the network went dead, he was unlocked from the operator, the firmware did not give anything, I realized that he was Frankenstein, I stitched it with firmware H810AT & T, there is still no connection, and the H811 will not start. In your own way, can you return the connection to him? Can you help? My knowledge.

Damn that notice triggered me, smart people would wait. Like me!!!
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
ok guys

I need another H818 user to fix the touch panel issue!

The device HAS TO be pure STOCK bootloader of a H818 -> means

NOT

Nougat! It must be pure h818 so MM or LP.

What I need is just this (no root required):

Boot into Android

Directly after boot (as soon as adb becomes available) execute this:

adb shell
cd /sdcard/Download
dmesg > dmesg.txt
exit
adb pull /sdcard/Download/dmesg.txt

Paste the log here: click -> click save button at the top right and paste me the resulting link here!

thx

I own a H818P (stock mm), this the link for the dmesg extracted just after boot:

[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Awesome! Thanks mate!!
[G4 General] Jostian:
this is an exciting project, I have a H815P on Nougat and have no idea if my device is or will included but I REALLY hope so :)
[G4 General] fil3s:
It's for ALL bootloader locked G4. :highfive:
[G4 General] Jonotjie:
do you ever sleep? :silly:

Thank you for the constant updates :D
[G4 General] Ilaancue:
Did you upgrade to Nougat through the beta released for bootloader-locked devices?. Btw, you should downgrade to MM or LP in order to use UsU with less chances of bricking it.

As [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] said before
[G4 General] xantiux:
If I have an LG G4 H812, and the Anti-rollback Version is set to 0, am I out of luck or is all hope lost for me? Or, is there a known way to change the Anti-rollback Version from 0 to 1?
[G4 General] commandervadeo:
i bricked my g4 by deleting aboot.img and boot.img I now feel dead inside luckily I have a backup fruitphone 4!
[G4 General] Ilaancue:
If a device ARB is set to 0 do we have an opportunity to use your UsU method? [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION]
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
How have you achieved this?

Well you can still recover from there..as long as your ARB is not higher then 2

UsU supports ARB 0 - 99999999999999
[G4 General] commandervadeo:
last time i checked it was at 0 so i assume its a ok? can I pm you for some help? also can't get into download mode.
[G4 General] Ilaancue:
Thanks sir, so I'm still on board, waiting for your method to be released
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Nope no support by PM. But you can come to IRC (see OP) tomorrow if you like.

[G4 General] Derpthunder:
Just letting you know that I just noticed your footer about clicking "Thanks" under your responses to keep you encouraged. I just signed up to smash the hell out of those and ran out of the 16 thanks/day limit.

Tomorrow I'll probably set up Python+Selenium+Chrome webdriver thingie to keep sending you my daily limit of those every day until it no longer can see your not-yet-thanked-for messages in this and the final thread (@XDA, don't worry, just from this single account only. Anything to keep this man going.).

I've also put aside a couple of bucks to donate once the final thread's released, some people test it and confirm it on H815 - just to get you some real life coffee/beer/pizza for a real life help.
[G4 General] fil3s:
Donate? I will give this man [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] $50AUD if I can flash Oreo on my h815T. I love this project keeping our devices superior with one of the best mods/hacks I've used.

[G4 General] fil3s:
:mad: maybe not
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Hey guys. Keep in mind that donating is not necessary I'm happy with a couple of thx clicks (every day ;) ) - regardless if we speak about SALT, FWUL, TWRP in FIsH,..... or UsU ;)

Btw maybe I will do a challenge: UsU will be released when I reach 10k thx clicks ;) lol I'm just KIDDING ;)

it will be released when ready. I need to come back to a normal life which isn't possible atm as long it isn't released.. :eek:

Hi man!

first of all I wanted to say thank you for the amazing work you are doing to this day.

changing to another topic, I have a LGE H815 (Taiwan), is in the version (MM) 6.0 and has "AntiRollback Version 0", if you need any dmesg file, Reply me

i really want this working so, if you need something about this terminal MP me.

amazing job!

[G4 General] cablematicman:
If you need someone to be a guinea pig for the public release, I have access to 2 canadian H812 phones, antirollback=0 one has a broken screen but I can just swap boards if I brick the first one. I have lots of experience following these online guides, rooting and flashing. I use only linux but I am creating your FWUL ISO for this. I can follow your instructions and offer feedback. A lot of people here can't contain their excitement waiting for the public release. I understand that you want to make it safe for everyone but some of us might be able to help you polish it without having to worry about amateur mistakes. Nice work. LG shouldn't make it so impossible though. Everyone should thank you for making it possible. I know you said donations aren't necessary but you would be deserving... everyone should.

Will the tool that you develop work seamlessly with the devices which are h815 variants and their arb version are 0?

especially most of the lg g4 are the phones whose anti-rollback version are 0.

This works with any lg g4 model, preferably with an ARB value below 2. If it's higher than 2 it can still work but there is a much higher chance of something going wrong. Cheers!:good:
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Because of those questions which happen again and again (even by PM!) I'm scared about the release.

If a user is not able to read or use the search on XDA should this user be able to unlock with UsU?

Don't answer this. Just sharing my thoughts..
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
1. Most of us are technology addicts and nerds but not hackers!

2. I am sorry but 45 pages are a lot to read.

3. When you release your tool it would be great to include the answers of basic questions like that would be great within its FAQ section.

4. Is there any light at the tunnel for Windows version?

I appreciate the hard work that you've done!
[G4 General] fauntelroy:
Sorry [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] let me handle this one

1. It's not necessary to become a hacker to be able to read or even use forum search function

2. At the top right corner there is a box for search,you can type maybe just arb for your question and voila your answer is there

3. Indeed there is already included in the usu thread (once again if you just read you can find it)

4. steadfasterX already mention it a couple of times,if you on windows you can just use fwul,again this one also can you find if you use search.

Sorry for this oot [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION],i hope it end here no need to reply for my mumbling post.

Thank you and sorry if i sound rude:fingers-crossed:
[G4 General] augusto1024:
Answering every question (repeatedly) from us is only going to slow down the release. When he releases it, I'm sure he'll explain everything in the FAQ and will also answer any questions that we have. In the meantime we'll just have to sit and wait for the release. Thankfully he keeps working hard and keeping us up to date with his work progress...
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
1. Your attitude is a little rude, but it is ok.

2. there is nothing wrong to ask these questions.

3. I wonder, if we can use live cd, rather than virtualbox. stop mentioning about searching.

4. we are all on the same boat that Noah had. We should stop stabbing each other.

steadfasterX is a God for unlocking an h810 (AT&T)

steadfasterX has done it again, he has another model type unlocked -- the G4 h810 (AT&T). It certainly was a beast from what I observed. He had to re-write some of the files so that the UsU files would work properly with my device. He also had to change SALT several times. My version of SALT is now at 3.7.8.

After that I was successfully able to unlock it. But, I couldn't install any new ROMs because the N modem wouldn't work properly. Every ROM would bootloop. But, he was able to find out that the L modem would work. So now I have a G4 with the aoscp Nougat rom and it is working pretty well.. I will also try to move to other ROMs in a few days. I am especially looking forward to trying an O ROM or two.

Thanks again steadfasterX. :):good:

on h811 yes as i update to newer firmwares by tmobile KDZ it changes. now am at V3 so i must stay at V3 wich is 20o-20p-20q-20r-20v-20x so from lollipop 10n to MM20i is V2 never been on V1.
[G4 General] අධිරාජ (Adhirāja):
Ok. So prior to flashing a kdz, how can we know what our antirollback value will change to?

Can we say that flashing any marshmallow kdz's (from any variant) will keep the antirollback at 0 ?
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
It's all written here just read: https://bit.do/antirollg4

... and to complete this: SALT v4 will enable kdz flashing and will show the ARB of the kdz and yours and also some other precaution checks.

[G4 General] conbak49:
I had the same question. It's awesome to see what's happening here and I can't wait to see the fully developed solution. I also have an H812 and an wondering specifically how this process works. It sounds to me like a specific guide will be put out when the whole project is complete. I don't think what's available so far is specific enough for a novice like me to follow. Thanks for all the hard work going into this!
[G4 General] mateus.sc:
The topic is unclear just for those who fell into the discussion without actually reading the thread or didn't bother to use the search function.

C'mon guys, type and search is not that hard
[G4 General] lmiked:
As far as I understand... This is pretty straightforward...

Basically, when the project is complete, most/All G4 users no matter which model they own, will be able to unlock their Bootloader UNOFFICIALLY, and without limitations, this means you will be able to install a custom recovery like TWRP, ROMS whether they'll be custom ROMS, the latest android updates or just regular Stock Android, and customize their G4 as they please, as long as their ARB value is 2 or under... But you'll lose your warranty (if it's still valid) and official support/updates (which probably won't come anyways), also, you won't be able to go back to the Original state of the G4, that is, the phone being recognized by LG's software like LG Bridge or others to flash a .kdz file.

I think that this pretty much sums it up.

Cheers!!
