[Q] Progress of LG G4 unlocking & rooting - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how far we are getting root & unlocked bootloader in all models of LG G4? I heard about a month ago, we are close as someone is/are working very hard for it.

All I can tell you is don't take the updates!
There's a link at the end of that post to a post from Autoprime that has a bit of information.

September I heard.

No. It won't reverse the firmaware version. It will only wipe all user data. The problem with updating is that it may or may not render the root exploit that devs are working on as incompatible or useless. Also new update might enhance the security in the firmaware with chances to make it even harder to root. The opposite could happen as well.

Do you have the Hong Kong version? I think you'll be fine. The US Carriers are the one making things harder by providing a Kdz firmware with a modified version # 01. So, users can't be 100% stock if they try to reverse. Your's can be reverted anytime. Your phones Kdz file ends "00" ours ends with "01" but wait and see if the root method works or not when released.

Woot! Have they mentioned anything about the firmware versions (other than what Autoprime posted) preventing root?

All i can see is that none of the big boys are been active in the forum so thats a plus and great news. Just because they are so busy working on solutions and i cant wait so i can actually bring few roms to this baby..

Yes. I am having the hongkong version. U relieved me. This waiting is killing me. I had never waited for this long since my Desire S. Without root & unlocked bootloader, it feels like I am not enjoying such a enjoyable phone.

Category is "Mobile Phones" and search for "LS970"
Oddly there are two different versions. Even more oddly, searching for "970" (the generic number for the Optimus G) the Sprint version is the only one available, even though the International and AT&T versions have already been released.
I don't suppose this will help much in getting the bootloader unlocked but good to have at least. Will be useful if we do. No one is worse than HTC about releasing source.
The bootloader is almost unlocked. Follow progress in #lg-optimus-g at freenode

Most devices don't get the resources that sextape gave us, so they rely on guesswork primarily. We are very lucky to have thecubed also who is doing all of the actual unlocking and has experience with lg devices and bootloaders.

And I grabbed the kernel source before I saw this and I will build if someone can pull the ramdisk. I need all the init and ueventd files and everything in sbin.

I have my G pre-ordered on Sprint so if you still need those I'll be happy to do what I can as soon as I get the phone. I'm not super smart with this stuff but I can follow directions on adb

You can pull in root explorer and that may be easier.

Hey, i want to ask something, is that possibilty to get "an unlocked bootloader" is just for spirint,at&t or something related to carrier? I'm living in turkey and probably i will be able to get international one but i don't want to live with lg updates forever, so could you guys give me an idea?
Sorry for my awful english and ignorance...

I'm assuming that if one gets unlocked, then the process for unlocking the other variants will be fairly the same if not the exact same. So if one gets unlocked, then they should all be able to be unlocked, assuming that all of the variants are locked down the same. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Awesome. I really wanted a Nexus 4 but I guess I'll settle for it's step brother.
Can't wait for boot loader unlock. I want my own franken nexus

Great news- about to pre-order, think a non-removable battery is a deal breaker? Invariably seems I need to pull the battery at some point.

I don't think it's a problem. I have a Nexus 7 with a sealed battery and I've never had to worry about it. Any times that it completely locked up (including while in fastboot), I can hard reset it by holding all the buttons down for a while.

Thanks, never had a phone with a fixed battery- don't need an expensive-- but good looking-- paperweight.

Agreed. Same for my galaxy tab 10.1. You'd think it'd be an issue, but there are other ways to enhance the juice pack and other ways to force reboots.

How reliable is this information? I just bought a really nice and clean tmobile version and after learning about the lack of MM and developmental ROMs, I think I'm going to return it.
Are these just inside sources you have? Future as in next year?

Custom development will live on even without a M release by Samsung. I sadly can't set a time for when but everything i have heard it should be soon.
So I love this tablet, its in Mint condition but being the T-Mobile version is causiung more problems then its worth.
The Samsung native App "WatchON" cannot be uninstalled in 5.0.1 - and was only fixed with a 5.0.2 update by Samsung...Something that T-mobile didn't get. WatchON is a video app no longer in service. I can't disable it, so I get Widget errors every time I change the screen orientation. Its extremely irritating and frustrating that a lack of updates and fore site cause so many silly problems.
Is there really, truly a Marshmallow update coming got the T807T ?
any news?
