LG G4 H815 American Ver? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i bought a lg g4 used, and the software says euro. sw orginal version is: lgh815at-00-vx10b-global-com-may-01-2015 and sw ver info is: h815x10-eur-xx, when i tried unlocking the bootloader it said it is an american device. I thought american lg g4 were h810/811/etc. Im a bit confused so if someone can guide me, I would really appreciate it. I am trying to unlock the bootloader and root my phone. Since lg wont let me unlock bootloader, i just want to root it and which model rootedimage do i use?

Lg made a carrier free GSM H815 version for the US. Sounds like the seller flash a euro version KDZ over the US hardware to make it appear as a euro version. However, since it is not a true Euro version, it can't be bootloader unlocked.
Use the H815EU root method.

This is the LG G4 Trial USA version they gave free to USA before its selling in store. They gave me one and I rooted it. Now its on V10e-EUR-XX.

Yeah. Unless you have a preference for CM/AOSP, I would root it and install Xposed with the G4 Tweaksbox and go with that. Pretty much the same as the current ROMs that are out there now.

How were you able to install genisys rom on H815 USA variant? I thought you couldn't flash these versions?

h811 VS h815

This is going to sound like a noob question, but I have been a HTC user for the last 3 years (M7 and M8) and LG is a little different.
So, I always check this XDA page for useful information when choosing a phone. I have seen 2 versions of the LG G4: h811 and h815. What are these and what is the difference?
Also I am deciding between the G4 and the OnePlus 2 so what do you think I should get?
Thanks is advance!
i'm guessing h815 is the international version
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
H811 is t-mobile. H815 is international variant. If you do get a G4 you'll want the H815 but look for the european model or else you won't be able to unlock the bootloader and install new roms (cyanogenmod etc)
You can unlock, root, and ROM them both. You just have to carrier-unlock the 811 if you take it off T-Mobile.

Taiwan H815 model bootloader unlock help

Hey guys,i recently got the LG G4 coming from a G3
Trying to unlock the bootloader of this phone i saw that the Taiwan model that i have isnt supported
I am thinking of what i can do to unlock my device
I thought a possibility would be to flash the european image on my phone in download mode ?
Or enter a different IMEI to my device when LG Website asks me to enter it
If you guys have any luck with the other international versions of LG G4 please let me know
Thank you very much

I know a developer in korea they say all Internationals models of G4 will have bootloader unlocked although he doesnt recommend it but it will be available.. He may not be sure of other carrier varients currently lg is working on it and its status will be available on their site when finished

Its one of those ill believe it when i see it. Now i know. There have been plenty of phones and tablets get unlocked officially and unofficialy 1.2.even 3 years later. I just know the encryption that the bls have on them and its bassicly unhackable. Thats why i say exploits. Unless someone finds the trusted key that lg uses. Which from what ive read. Is generated randomly from each iemi and android id. But i for one hope it happens and if ita any consolation that does revive my hope in g4 development. Lol i got a lg k7 unlocked and u can oem unlock then fastboot oem unlock. But theres absolutly no development for this device yet. Im bakin up a rom for it now

No root on MM but on LP you can root.. with h815 bootloader locked....
but you need to find out if you can downgrade to lollipop. because if on MM downgrade to LP it bricks.. depending on the antirollback version.

US Variant H815 rooting question

Before anyone asks, yes I've searched, but have not been able to find any solid answers. So here I am. I just bought an LG G4 from ebay, I was listed as a T-Mobile model but when it arrived, I discovered it was a US model H815. It's running vx10b-eur-xx. These apparently have locked bootloaders. My question is, is there any method I can use to root this device and run a ROM like CM14, or am I stuck with what it's got? Like I said, all my searches never really come up with a for-sure answer. (hopefully this is in the right spot)

no cm only root if you are on lollipop.
unless its one of the europeans models that can be unlocked. serach for LG G4 than can be bootloader unlocked and chek if yours is one.

Apparently there is a US Variant H815, when I attempted the unlock the bootloader the LG developer website stated that the device could not be unlocked because it was a US model. Not the exact quote, but close enough. Thanks for the reply though.

Can i flash a bell kdz for virgin?

So i just got my old cracked lg g4 h812 canadian model to add to my phone collection seeing that my lg q6 is my daily driver and i can't root it and i wanted to get back into the android game with rooting and all that and i want to downgrade my lg g4 to android lollipop and i can't find any virgin firmwares. So will the bell firmware work for my virgin lg g4?
Btw if it says my devices are lg g4 and lg g6 i put lg g6 to take the place of my lg q6 cause there's no lg q6 option. So now you know

I use this site: http://phonefirmwares.com/lg-g4-h812-android-6-0-phone-stock-firmware-rom-canada-variants/ usually but it appears to be down right now. Hopefully it's not defunct. They do have the Bell versions. Yes, you can use the TELUS rom but may be preferable to stick with Bell for now and get your phone carrier unlocked, if you haven't already.
You want to be on Marshmallow if you are going to do the bootloader unlock process. It will give you so many more options and you can have root on Marshmallow if you want. You do not have to root first in this process, it comes after the unlock and TWRP install.

Site is up now: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h812-firmwares/
Just tried it. They changed their URL.
Scroll down to the latest 6.0 version if you plan to bootloader unlock and select a later version (later version e.g. z instead of a)

You'll have to Google for it then ... OR search the Canadian H812 guide thread and search Bell/Virgin there and see if a member can help you in one those searched posts for a kdz - you do not have to stick to the E version if there's a later more security/bug - free up-to-date one ...
