I've attached a screenshot of my SALT window. Hope this shows the info needed.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
you know that you are using an outdated version of SALT? current is 3.16 atm.

now check the backup files as mentioned.

.
[G4 Android Development] Rich Rich:
Don't know where the backup files are stored. I just have SALT installed in a standalone VMWare Linux machine, I'm not Linux literate so not sure where to start looking for the files. What's the default backup location?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
SALT should bring up a popup on start that your version is outdated (requires internet in the VM though)

cd ~/salt_backup
[G4 Android Development] Rich Rich:
It can't find that directory. I do remember doing a backup but I'm not sure if it was saved anywhere as the FWUL VM has limited storage space.

Yo. I've been using the V30 Port for a long time and I was trying to flash this ROM to test, but I'm getting a strange error, it says that the ROM is not for my device and I'm using the H815 G4 version. I got the N bootloader. Is that a problem?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
I assume you are officially unlocked and not UsU'd (this thread is for UsU devices)
[G4 Android Development] pedrogcsb:
You're right. Thanks

Hi [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION]... My NFC doesn't work. I can turn it on, but it doesn't do anything when I've tried to read any tag or another device :( ( I attached liveboot log with NFC on... if it helps.). I hope you can help me, pls. Thx.

In the other hand, I've tried to fix the empty MAC issue with yours solution in github, but nothing... so I made an script which it's load on boot and by now the WiFi it's working fine for me.

btw I've flashed this ROM cleanly, all wipes; System, Data, Int. Storage, Cache & Dalvik. and I've flashed last modem for the H815 (from v20p).
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
[MENTION=8699949]ThePiGuy[/MENTION] do we have issues with NFC? I cant test nfc here..

.
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Mine doesn't work but it didn't on Lineage 14.1 so I think mine is broken
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
ok I just forgot about my credit card with NFC support... :)

so i downloaded the app "NFC tools" and tried to read with NFC my cards. works like a charme here (moving the card over the phones back at the bottom) ..

.
[G4 Android Development] the_naxhoo:
I just tried with EFIDroid, I've installed an Stock ROM and my NFC works perfectly :confused: . So I tried on LOS again, but with another app (BipReader) and it says that my NFC hardware isn't compatible... wtf :rolleyes:
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Could be the modem partition
[G4 Android Development] the_naxhoo:
which modem version do you think I need for this ROM?. I've already test with from v20p, v20j and v10g... even your UsU's baseband patch but still nothing :(
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
the baseband package is ONLY for baseband and nothing else.. ;)

hmm so if you tried all these it must be something else.

E/NFC ( 6241): could not retrieve NFC service

NFC is handled by /odm/lib64/hw/nfc_nci.msm8992.so which gets generated by the ROM.. so that should be fine as long as you have a h815 :p

Pls disable NFC, then do and follow "option B) when you want to debug an Android issue (e.g. app crashes etc)" :

http://bit.do/logcat

When you come to the step "now reproduce the issue" enable NFC, wait 10 sec and cancel the logcat

[G4 Android Development] the_naxhoo:
oh ok, it's good to know. thx

Done!

here you go... :)

Hey, I'm totally stoked I finally got my G4 unlocked and rooted. I'd like to try this ROM. I scanned through the thread but didn't notice an answer, has anyone gotten Viper4Android with this ROM? If so, how? Thanks.

-Returned to the land of the rooted ones. :)
[G4 Android Development] the_naxhoo:
it's working perfectly to me. I installed it via Magisk btw. :)
[G4 Android Development] BracesForImpact:
Thanks, I'm going over the thread now trying to get a grasp on exactly what I have to flash. I think I get it all except for this step.

I have flashed the baseband package from the USU thread titled "H815_UsU_baseband_flash-in-twrp"

So can I just flash the N modem? How do you clean flash the modem partition?

This phone has always been 6.0.

Thanks to anyone that can help.
[G4 Android Development] BracesForImpact:
Not too shabby, got it first try. It's like having a brand new phone. Still in the process of restoring with TBU, but I've seen no bugs as of yet. I want to thank the dev for this hard work on Lineage for the G4. I was so excited when I got this phone, and I liked it so much I kept it even though it couldn't be rooted. Over the last couple of years, I would occasionally wish it was rooted because for me it brings so much more freedom and fun to the mobile experience. Today it finally became reality. I'm looking for the donation page when I next get paid, and you have my sincere thanks!
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Read the OP and you will find the TWRP flashable link for the Nougat Modem. Clean flash means just to flash that file.

[G4 Android Development] BracesForImpact:
Only real issues I've had is force closing of Camera and Messenger occasionally. I've installed Xposed too, so that could be causing the issue. Again, great ROM and thanks for the hard work.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
fc of cam is likely either Xposed, magisk or an incompatible modem partition.

[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
1) no recovery log? no help (for a "how-to" see my signature)

2) to solve the strange characers: read and follow FAQ #25a) in the UsU thread

3) Upgrade TWRP to the latest version

Hello steadfasterX,

I am actually on July version, which has been working very fine even if there is some slowdown (firefox or my banking stuff) and some extra battery drain.

Anyway I am pleased with it.

I was wondering how can I update to the last version without losing all my stuff and not requiring titanium backup.

Can I just flash directly the new version on my G4 ? Hope this is possible without erasing stuff.

As usual , thanks for your kind help and sorry if my english is kind of approximate.
[G4 Android Development] persano:
Excellent rom! Using the september build and is working great.

Any difference with the current build?
[G4 Android Development] fil3s:
Man. This room is worth $$'s to me... Might throw some for more server fuel ;) i been busy wit my "better" phone, oppo r11s smh. No probs wit this ROM man. :D no prob's at all ;)
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Yes.. See here the:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77708214&postcount=880

Well yay better to clean flash (so wiping data system cache) but I have made the update dirty here too like that:

Full TWRP backup!

Titanium backup just for the case is another good one

Wipe system (very important due to path changes in the ROM!)

Wipe cache and dalvik

Flash ROM

Flash LOS root add-on --> if needed only ofc

Flash gapps again!

Reboot

That way it worked for me for the most parts. Google play music for example force crashed always and 1 or 2 other apps like Google cam which all could be solved by reinstalling them again.

You may also need to resubmit app permissions like storage read etc when starting an app.

Besides that it works fine so far (3 days usage)

.
[G4 Android Development] JSSSX:
Thank You very much steadfasterX, update worked like a charm :good:
[G4 Android Development] BracesForImpact:
What is this?

---> Flash LOS root add-on --> if needed only ofc
[G4 Android Development] sdembiske:
Lineage super user: LineageOS Downloads-Extras

i.e., Instead of SuperSU or Magisk.
[G4 Android Development] BracesForImpact:
Thanks, I figured it out. I'm using Magisk anyway. The new update is very smooth, very nice with a clean install. I think tap to wake was removed though :( Thanks for the update!
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Yes as mentioned double tap to wake up has been removed due to high battery drain but most important because it's just not working properly due to faulty drivers by LG. Just set the volume keys to wake up the device which is working perfectly
[G4 Android Development] lgl90:
so i can have this rom only if i unlocked it with usu?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
depends on your phone model. when you can unlock official by LG then you can just use the regular LOS rom.

.
[G4 Android Development] BracesForImpact:
Yep, that's exactly what I did. For some reason I had some trouble with some of the system apps on the phone crashing like Phone and Messages. I tried clearing data and cache, and I also downloaded Google framework on Magisk and then downloaded the Google version of phone and between all of it I think I got everything running smoothly. I suspect it was my titanium backup that may have caused the issue. Anyway, thanks again for the great rom, you've breathed new life into an old phone for me. [emoji106]

Hey SteadfasterX,

I just updated to the new experimental release from November 7th and noted that google launcher (the most classic one) is not there anymore and only PIXEL Launcher is there, which from my taste, is uggly or in other words not pleasant to use.

Is there any way to have google launcher back ? (play store tells me that my android version is now incompatible with this one).

Thanks for your help.

Edit : Nevermind, I was ignorant enough to be unaware that there was tons of launchers available, including the incredible Nova launcher :)

Anyway, if someone knows how to restore back the google panel on the left screen (news feed and stuff), let me know, I miss this old one.
[G4 Android Development] adam_s_459_:

Hi

Thank you so much for the wonderful unlocking method and the ROM

Can't belive I finally get to break free of LG's ROM and locked bootloader. Root and Lineage all the way!

I do seem to have one problem though.

The 2 faster cores seem to be offline. Sometimes they do run, but just at around 400-600Mhz.

Could it be caused by this ROM? Is this intentional?

Thank you again and in advanced.

Ofir

[G4 Android Development] 19Gonzo82:
As I'm new to. LG G4 I've got a Noob question. How do I check, if a phone is unlocked with UsU?

My brother gifts me his G4 and says it's unlocked and rooted but he can't remember how he did it exactly. Is there any way to determine the method he used so I don't flash the wrong rom?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Does a secure boot error screen appear on boot, or does it simply warn you that the bootloader is unlocked.

Also, what model of G4?
[G4 Android Development] opeller:
Gave my Mom the phone to use for first time today.

Went out with it on 100%, barely used it (24Min SOT, 4Min call) - went down 42% battery. Held awake 1h34min.

Gsam blames kernel.

Any idea what I should do? Installed better battery stats, hope to get a better answer.

Already had Greenify and greenifyed anything I though I should or could.

https://imgur.com/a/h2cZYWM
[G4 Android Development] fil3s:
Does this mean G4 will get official los 16?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
well I dont know GSam but the screen telling the device seems to be AWAKE for 1 hour 34min which may not usual here.

More important is the screen showin 20% of bat usage. Keep in mind that this display is crap. Do not set the brightness to max - I have used ~60% plus auto-brightness which helps a LOT in battery life.

Also keep in mind that it needs some power cycles to fully work-out all Android optimization.

Last thing to mention here: the battery itself. if it is older then 2 years it should be replaced (gave me another great step in bat life)

lol :) who knows. We do not have a fully working pie yet so no thinking of LOS 16 atm

Installed the Rom.....and was ver enthousiastic about it.... Untill i read about the Bluetooth issues.... It's a shame because really need the BT calling.....

I know it's not Rom related... Rather than an obscure choice of BT chip.
[G4 Android Development] 19Gonzo82:
Got the phone today. When starting, in the upper left is written Bootloader state: Bootloader unlocked!

It's the normal G4 I guess
[G4 Android Development] :
Install Lineage Os 13.1 MM.Sure its outdated&insecure but its stable and working fully compatible blueotooth with any device.I have two gamesir gamepads bluetooth and are working fine with a LG G4 H815p
[G4 Android Development] BracesForImpact:
Anyone had any problems with a lock screen loop? Now and then I'll reboot, the lock screen will say something to the effect of must "enter pin after reboot", I input my pin, as usual, the screen goes black for a minute and then back to the lock screen again. The workaround is to just use a swipe lock screen, but it's not exactly secure. This has happened about 4 times in the last few months, across different versions of the ROM. I restore a backup and I'm good again, but I'd prefer not to have to do this.

are there any plans to support us991? Also, the webpage contaning the roms is down, i could get the archive.org version but not any of the files
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
You are the first one requesting it so no there are no plans yet. Regarding my download server it will be back soon
[G4 Android Development] nachomartin:
Okay, i'll have to wait for the server.

I recently used the USU method to unlock the bootloader on my us991 and i can't get twrp to boot in recovery, it only boots the normal android recovery and on the adb cmd on fwul it says twrp is flashed correctly as recovery, any solutions?

I was also wondering, if my phone said GPT compatibility h811 but it's us991, could i install h811 roms?

Thanks in advance for all the work you did
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
server is back

That means you haven't booted to TWRP directly after flashing it as the UsU flashing guide and the TWRP guide all describe. so flash TWRP and DIRECTLY boot into it like described in the UsU thread with the hardware key combo.

UsU

FAQ #12

SALT

FAQ #15
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
I am on H815 unlocked with UsU with no special problems. It was originally MM. Trying to install this rom is failing, either not booting or blue messages regarding "modem subsystem crash". Tried all the tricks from the FAQ (including flashing N modem / UsU baseband). Finally got to the point that only after flashing the LOS UsU kernel afterward the device booted BUT - Sim is not detected and Camera is missing... . I then decided to try the AOSCP Nugat (UsU) and it worked PERFECTLY without any problems (just flashing rom and gapps).

Any ideas?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
exact MM firmware was? It totally sounds like an issue with an outdated MM bootloader stack.
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
Dear steadfasterX, thanks for the prompt reply (and for ALL your contribution). Unfortunately I've done a mistake and don't have the SALT's backup. It is H815L if that's matter. Remember it was V20? that was lower than 20P (maybe 20E). Can something be done?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
well tbh you made two faults... the first one is you have not created a backup and the second one you haven't upgraded to the latest MM firmware even when both things clearly described in the UsU flashing guide.

Anyways not a big deal as you can just upgrade to 20p even now. for this read the UsU FAQ #20 . if you do not want to extract by yourself you can find the files on my leech server but read the FAQ CAREFULLY and BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE DO A SALT BACKUP NOW! :)

.-
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
Thanks. I know it was a BIG mistake and nothing I can say to justify that.

I don't know where I can get the KDZ for my device. I see on FAQ #5 links to codefire's repo where I can't see H815L, and the other link to storagecow show an H815L 10F.kdz which I downloaded but am not sure is the right one for me.

By saying that I can get it on your leech server do you mean the files under stock/LG/H815/20P/extracted ? (and not the 29a folder, right?).

Thanks so much again for your help.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
jfi: kdz files for the

h815 models

with v10... are all LP, v20.... are all MM and 29a is the N private beta (N usually would had become v30 for our device - if it ever would have been released)

correct 20p for the h815 is the latest and the path on my server is correct as well.

.-
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
Thanks.
[G4 Android Development] nachomartin:
Thank you very much steadfasterx, I've had issues with the latest version of twrp and i installed the first one available for lg g4 and that worked fine. I'll check other custom roms for my phone. The roms are installed through twrp correctly once the salt & twrp process is finished? If i download supersu after the UsU should it automatically be rooted?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Don't get the question but you should upgrade TWRP to the latest version before doing anything else. There are

tons

of fixes between the versions.

you should do a full backup in TWRP afterwards (read the UsU FAQ for the recommended TWRP backup options) and you can flash the Lineageos root-addon, Supersu (discontinued) or Magisk in TWRP then if you like to.

.-
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
OK, done but unfortunately with no success. Flashed via Fastboot per FAQ #20 and the behavior was the same (blue screen with modem crash. Flashing UsU kernel let it boot but with the same problems.). Then tried flashing through TWRP per the FAQ (btw - the instruction there tell you to push 9 files to tmp but DD only 7 of them - mistake?) and that didn't help either.

The SALT tells me that firmware is V20f - does that supposed to reflect the current or the original firmware stack?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
ok first of all did you see the known RIL issue ?

https://github.com/Suicide-Squirrel/issues_oreo/issues/6

The workaround works sometimes better sometimes not. try to reboot when you did not get asked for the PIN after 4 minutes latest.

what do you mean by "camera is missing" ??

.-
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
Going to learn that path.

Camera missing means that the camera app is not installed after flashing the rom+gapps.
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
This is the screenshot of the crash that I am getting if I am not flashing the UsU kernel (when it boots after flashing the UsU kernel I can see illumination of the blue led during the boot and know that something is wrong).
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
do you have WIPED system before flashing this ROM?

do you have FORMAT data (obviously will loose all data) before flashing this ROM?

the camera is 100% there.

do you have REALLY flashed this

UsU (!!)

ROM and get this?

are you sure that the modem partition is untouched (so no baseband pkg flashed?). if not flash the modem again in fastboot mode.

.-
[G4 Android Development] Amikam:
Yes. Wiped system (and cache+dalvik) and FORMATTED the data (sure, lost everything and copying installation files again)

Yes, It is THIS rom (UsU) that I flashed.

When problem discovered I played with flashing the G4_29a_N_modem_UsU.zip (in TWRP and not in fastboot though). When this didn't help I flashed the (unnecessary) baseband and since it didn't help I flashed back the N modem.

Can you please point me to the modem you recommend me flashing in fastboot (is it different from what I flashed in TWRP?)

Still, the AOSCP (UsU) works great if I reinstall it.
