That's not true. It means no kernels... There's things like safestrap that allow you to flash a ROM to a different partition, and select either stock, or (ROM name here) from initial boot-up.
The ROM is just the body of the car, (what we see), but to access the motor, (everything that makes what we see actually happen), that requires bootloader unlock ?.

We have no safestrap (developer bailed), loki, or bump. So no custom roms yet. Some devices cannot flash anything without unlocked bootloader. We have only had root a couple of days things will come. I should have been more clear in my previous post, I forgot this is XDA where everyone knows everything already.

Without custom recovery we may not get Xposed, hence no gravity box, but we can hope they get a non-recovery version working on the G4.
If you are rooted and run Xposed you NEED to freeze the OTA update checker, otherwise prepare for a bricked device after an update.
now what if I unroot?

Why would we need a custom recovery for Xposed? I only rooted my G3, nothing else, and I'm using G3 TweaksBox just fine.
All I need on the G4 is a new, updated TweaksBox and I'm good to go. Between that and titanium backup I have my G3 running perfect.

Currently Xposed for 5.1 requires you to flash it from a custom recovery. 5.0 was simply a file you installed.

We need a bootloader unlock or a workaround like bump on the G3, I haven't heard of any progress with this yet but I'd love to be proven wrong.
I think the main theme here is be patient. We could not have ANYONE working on anything for this phone. Root is awesome. Hopefully bootloader unlock is released soon.
I think the same patients. We just got root im sure they have been working toward a work around since the phone has been released. So eventually if its possible someone will find an exploit i just hope eventually they find something that works for all current versions.

Because the bootloader is currently locked you cannot flash any other ROMs. The only variant with an unlocked bootloader is the D851, which is the T-Mobile variant. PurpleDrake or Stump can help you Root your phone and then you can tweak it with XPosed if that suits you.
Please use the search function before starting a thread as this question has been asked and answered many times.
Did search and read..saw nothing for d852 or I wouldn't of asked

Yeah, the bootloader can't be unlocked at the moment so you can't put a custom ROM and kernel on it,sadly. Doesn't look like there's any sign of it being unlocked in the near future either.

Well, don't jump too soon it might get unlocked or a workaround may be found. The G2 was never unlocked but the devs found a work around that allowed custom Roms and kernels.

Well rooting is really easy if you want to use vroot. Just search for vroot or iroot (an .apk that runs on your phone without connecting to a PC.) After you're rooted, just search through twrp threads on how to flash a recovery and unlocking your bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, you will end up bricking your device so be careful and do your homework first. Good luck

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Keep searching threads and topics. There is a lot of support for the G3 on here. Wish I could be of more help to you, but sadly I only have the LG Intuition and there isn't any support for my device at all. If I come across something I will post it on here for you.

Heloo everyone! I have h811 g4 with root and twrp. Can i now install busybox and xposed now? As well to what extent have you guys gone in tweaking for the very best battery life?
Currently, there is no working xposed version for the G4. Of course, this may change in the future.
For the best battery life, I recommend installing Greenify and debloating your phone. Check out this thread to learn what apps are safe to disable. Screen brightness, I've learned, also plays a major role in battery life. The difference you see between 55% and 70% is massive

For me it was very simple. Just look up h811 twrp on Google and it will take you to the dedicated XDA post. Really simple.
Get root
Enable OEM unlock in Dev. Options
Flash 2.8.7.0 twrp img with Flashify
Boom you will have twrp installed.

He just said he has twrp on h811. Which isn't the eu version. Ive read the thread he was talking about and apparently on tmo you just need to check oem unlock to install twrp. On h815, even if u have that option in dev settings, you can't.

What I meant was only the EUR version of the H815's can be unlocked, not that only H815's in general are the only ones that can have their bootloaders unlocked.
Syntax error I suppose! But if you have an SEA version of the 815 or a SWE version, etc. you can't have its bootloader unlocked. But you are right, the H811 and EUR H815 have unlockable bootloaders.

Yes, people have tried it. No it does not work, and the phone bootloops.
Specifically, the problem is related to the custom changes LG made in libart-compiler.so compared to stock android. What needs to be done is have someone decompile the .so and compare it to a decompiled stock 5.1 libart-compiler.so, and make whatever corresponding changes to the Xposed install script for an unofficial custom build of Xposed for our devices.
Frankly, if I had TWRP on my G4 I would look into this myself...but since I have the Verizon version and can't, it's not worth all the bootloops and constant soft-bricking that would occur during the testing process for something like this.

TWRP is only available for the EU H815 which is unlockable on the LG website. or the H811 T-Mobile G4 which has an unlocked bootloader.

If you absolutely want to get amazingly battery life then you can change the governor to powersave. It will run your cores at the minimum frequency so you'll really stretch your battery life. However, you do sacrifice performance quite a bit.

I would like to know if once you fully root your phone and go S-Off can you still use Android pay?
I haven't rooted yet but plan on doing so but just want to be fully aware of what I would lose by rooting. Also outside of Android pay is there anything else you would lose or won't work correctly after root.
Oh and sorry if this has been said before, I at least didn't see quickly anything posted about this...

Via systemless root, yes, you can indeed use Android Pay. You lose nothing by rooting (apart from the ability to take OTAs with TWRP installed).

its working still. flash the super user in the guide. don't modifiy anything in system and should be fine to use. but just being s-off and unlocked 100% wont effect AP at all, its the act of modifying the system is what breaks it.

Hi, I've unfortunately not followed what, for me, would have been the most important bit of this excellent guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/guide-root-optionally-s-off-radio-t3373025
Namely the line that would have enabled me to flash SuperSU and maintain encryption rather than blundering in and flashing the latest SuperSU regardless...doh!
The most important thing for me is to be able to use Android pay which obviously now I can't.
Can I undo my stupidity?......or not?
