Hi guys,i've updated yesterday my LG G4 (H815) to marshmallow,but i've lost the root.
Could you show me a method to reroot my G4 without unlock the Bootloader please?
Unfortunately i can't unlock my bootloader because of an error and i can only root with another method...
Thanks a lot.

I'm interested: What error do you get? You maybe do something wrong while unlocking the bootloader? Maybe not copying the token entirely?
Well, for now, there is no method to root your LG G4 on android 6.0, if the bootloader is locked. I'm sorry that I have to disappoint you Greetz

Hi,i try explain you (sorry for the english):
When i'm on the second stage in command line and i enter "fastboot oem device-id",i don't receive the strings with the ID Number but i receive "Waiting for device" and i can't go on.
I've installed and uninstalled 3 times the SDK and the LG Drivers but the problem remain....
The passeges i've done are:
-Installed the SDK from this file in the website "installer_r24.4.1-windows"
-Installed last LG drivers "LG-Mobile-Driver_v4.0.3.0"
-Connect the phone with debug and Oem flagged

Ok. Maybe you need to confirm the connection on your phone if it says "Waiting for device"? Did you check it? Is your device definately H815 Eu Model? ANd do you have adb.exe and fastboot on your pc?
Please open a command prompt in the adb folder and type:
adb.exe devices
What is the output?

Ok forget about it! You're already in fastboot mode then right? Do you have the fastboot.exe on your computer? You need fastboot.exe and adb.exe on your device if you want to get the unlock token.
Please open a command prompt in windows and type
fastboot.exe devices
and tell me what's the output. Please do the same with
adb.exe devices
Maybe the computer doesn't recognize your phone because you don't have a fastboot.exe

Okay. So these screenshots were taken when you were in the bootloader? The problem is, that your PC doesn't recognize your device in fastboot mode! There should be an output if you type fastboot.exe devices, but there isn't. Which windows are you on?
The problem is not your phone or the unlock method. It's you computer I guess. Maybe you do a google search on how to get your device recognized.
And because this is far off the original topic you posted, please change the name of the thread to "Can't unlock bootloader (H815)" or something
EDIT: You're in the bootloader right?

Ok. So the problem is your PC not detecting your phone as a fastboot device! This is why you always get the message: "Waiting for device", if you enter "fastboot oem device id". I don't know how to fix that. Maybe you have to download another fastboot.exe for windows 7. But I'm pretty sure that this is the only problem why you can't unlock the bootloader. Maybe you try these. I'm really sorry that I can't help you

First question; Where'd you get the unlock.bin file? Was it generated with your specific device?
Boot back into Android on your phone. Go to "Settings>General>Developer Options> Activate "Enable OEM unlock"". In the same menu, with the USB-Cable detached, enable "USB debugging".
Put the unlock.bin file in the same folder as the ADB and Fastboot files (Usually C:/adb/)
Plugin your phone via USB. It's better you use a port on the back of your PC.
Type adb reboot bootloader
Type fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
If this fails, try a different PC.
EDIT: Which version of ADB do you use? I know that 1.4.2 has some issues. It's worth a shot to try ADB 1.3 Minimal installer.
EDIT2: Sorry, overlooked that your thread has two pages and you already enabled OEM unlock. I'd say you try it on another PC. I also have issues with ADB and Fastboot on Marshmallow.
EDIT3: You're missing a file in your ADB folder. Extract and put the attached .dll file into the same folder as your ADB files.

Some time ago I had a similar issue with a permanent message, either 'waiting for device' or 'downloading <file>' (sorry, I don't remember what exactly was in a message). But I have solved that problem by changing usb data cable. I tried a few pieces until I found a good one. It's preferable to use an original data cable.

[Q] Hard Bricking

What are the odds of hard-bricking the Nexus 7 while rooting and istalling a custom kernel? And if it bricks, is there a way to fix it?
I ask this because I want to root it, but I'm really worried.
Also, how can you fix a soft brick?
I think you should really care of these questions if you somehow corrupt both bootloader and recovery. I don't really know, but bootloader isn't a thing that is modified during rooting or changing kernel. Just carefully read the thread about rooting programs, follow the instructions and everything should be ok. The most potentially harmful thing that can be done is corrupting the recovery. It can be solved if you have a computer with adb and drivers installed. Just a sшmple command and recovery is reflashed. Unlocking the bootloader is a kind of thing that doesn't really change anything so you couldn't boot or something. It just clears the storage and changes something deep inside. Flashing ROMS/Kernels is a kind of coping files and if something goes wrong you can always reflash it from recovery or with adb or some app from the rooting kit. And also you can always flash everything stock. Just read and think of what you're doing. Good luck.
Can you help me, when I type fastboot oem unlock in the command prompt, it says <waiting for device>. Any idea?

You probably have not configured devide ids for adb.
But probably the use of "sudo" should solve your problem.

Are you on windows?
If yes, are you on bootloader mode?
If not:
1-Power off
2-Power On + Vol. Down
Then you execute "fastboot oem unlock"
If it doesn't work try to use any of the auto tools that you can find all over XDA forums
LittleConfucy, as you haven't told us what OS you're using, I'll assume it's Windows 7 or 8, doesn't really matter. Go here, download, install, launch, press the big button on top named "Full Driver Installation" and read what it tells you to do. It's written clear enough to understand. Just will give you some tips.
1. To install adb drivers, you should enable camera mode. It can be done in Settings->Storage. Just click on 3 dots and go to the USB connection settings. Select the option with PTP in its name and uncheck MTP if checked. After that your device should be recognized properly.
2. This App had a bug some time ago. It downloaded drivers and couldn't find them later. The workaround is to copy c:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data\drivers\universal_drivers\UniversalAdbDriverSetup7.msi and rename the copy to UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi. It'll help.
Do you have any idea where can I see the drivers that were installed on the computer?

After I rooted, I opened BusyBox and it said:

[Q] Soft bricked htc one m8 no OS

Looked all day for a similar situation and all the ones i found didnt help so this is my last resort.So today i decided to root my phone. I had great succsess and was eager to flash a new rom. My recovery is TWRP. I downloaded Android revolution hd to my external sd. I went into recovery mode swiped my rom, tried to flash Android revolution, the file was there but the image wasnt. Now i have no rom on my phone and cant figure out how to flash one using adb on terminal. The commands ive tried arent working and i get different results from others in similar situations. In fastboot it says 'fastboot usb' so i know its connected and the cables fine. Im definitely a noob at tech hence the reason i managed to make a stupid mistake like this but i could really use the help. Im a US Marine and need my phone by tomorrow. Sorry if this thread is in the wrong spot im new to forums. Thanks a lot guys.
What do you mean by "the file was there but the image wasnt" ?
Is it the zip file is on your external sd but can't see it in TWRP recovery ?
Make sure that you select Micro SDcard on storage option.
When you have an external sd, you don't really need those ADB commands ... just take it out and connect to a PC then put in a ROM.zip on your external sd

yes it was on my external but the image wasnt. But now i think my sd is broken theres a crack in it, and my computer doesnt pick it up anymore. convenient i know. Before i could see the whole file but the img. was missing. now none of its there. I can get a new sd and put a rom on like you said but i wouldnt be able to do that right now and was wondering if there was another way?

Push the ROM.zip to internal sdcard
How-to :
Put a ROM.zip in your adb/fastboot folder
Put your device in TWRP recovery mode
Then adb push it to internal sdcard
command : adb push ROM.zip /data/media/0/
Once complete, select install - make sure the Storage selected is Internal Storage - you should see the ROM.zip
i will try this and get back to you. I appreciate the help.

If it's not picking up your phone in adb try redownloading the drivers, this website worked for me (http://www.andromods.com/download-files/get-htc-one-m8-usb-drivers-newest-all-models.html). Then try to adb push a stock rom to your device and redownload it in your recovery.
this is what i got and have gotten multiple times with different zips.

I don't know much about Mac, usually the different in command is only put the ./ infront of adb or fastboot
do you get your serial no and the word recovery when you run
./adb devices (put your device in recovery)
this is mine

Your command is wrong.
On Mac .. you type
./fastboot devices
there is extra character needed ---> ./
when do adb command, it is ./adb
Note : I'm not familiar with CWM ... only TWRP ... all those I wrote here are based on TWRP recovery but should be the same

It didn't work. I genuinely don't know whats missing. if device its not recognized. could be a driver issue on mac??

Yep .. driver looks ok but you don't have fastboot & adb files ?
See this to get them : .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390995
You mentioned you downloaded sdk, you need to run the command from platform-tools folder.
Check the screenshot how the directory looks : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55062969&postcount=10
You should have something like Rauls-MacBook-Air: platform-tools~Raul$ ./fastboot devices
BTW this is M8 forum ... why don't you post your problem in M7 forum ?
Maybe there are more people who familiar with Mac ... I never use one, I know only some basic.

Bootloader

I have read, I have searched thread after thread. I have the Google Pixel XL on Verizon. I have followed the directions to the letter for unlocking bootloader using dePixel. The issue I have is with the Developer Options. I am unable to enable the OEM Unlocking because it is grayed out. I have reset the device like 10 times. I have automatic updates disable in developer options. I need to be point in the right direction or have someone that can relate, to chime in. I am not looking for root....I just want the bootloader unlocked

That button will always be greyed out on the VZW firmware. After you unlocked do you see a warning message on boot? How do you know you are not, in fact, unlocked?
You don't mess with that button. Just follow the directions for dePixel8

Why not just flash the Google factory image once you run the depixel8 program?
Edit: Looks like you missed a step somewhere. Make sure your device is connected to your computer via adb. I would run the 15 second adb install (Google it) than put the depixel8 file in your tools folder. Open tool folder shift and right click to to open cmd promt. Type adb devices and see if it's connected. Also be sure to turn on USB debugging in dev options.

Is ADB working for you? I'm not sure where your are in the process, so forgive me if you've done these steps:
- enable debugging in developer options (must first tap on build number 10x or whatever
- if you do adb devices from command prompt, do you get the device id? You need to allow the computer to talk to the phone (security authorization on the phone the first time you attempt adb), as well as have drivers properly installed on computer
- assuming adb is writing properly, people seem to have best success with depixel8 if they set screen timeout to 5 min or longer, and after starting depixel8 commands on the computer, is screen blanks out, truth screen back on and try and run an app ...
Hope this helps

error:Cannot load Unlock_code.bin NO solutions????

This is bothering me alot, bought an HTC10 thats with o2 and i cant get the final step to work.
I have received the email twice in as a many attempts,used Chrome and IE to download the unlock code. I placed the unlock code in the same folder as fastboot adb and the other adb
all drivers were installed,including the Android studio one thats 1.6gb along htcsync. When i type in adb devices my device sn comes up
Not sure what to make of this, i looked over the web their issues were that they either had a typo or missplaced the code ,is there really no solution for me?
I only saw this once before when I accidentally renamed the unlock file unlock_code.bin.bin. can we see the properties of the unlock_code.bin? Also I couldn't see from the picture if you had run the command prompt as admin?

Why don't u uninstall HTC sync and try again.
In folder options for Windows turn on the option to see all file extensions and make sure its labeled "Unlock_code.bin". Also just Shift+Right Click in that folder so you have a Command Prompt that's already loaded in there so all you have to do is type the fastboot commands and not the entire directory. (makes life a little easier)

it is a bin file, the pic provided just cuts before it says its a bin file. �ts labaled exactly as in attachment
i updated to latest OTA , enabled USB debugging and still same problem :crying::crying::crying::crying:
attached the Unlock_code for refference
Try just dragging the .bin file onto the command window and then pressing "Enter." This gets rid of any possible path or name issues.

Question , OTA updates with unlocked bootloader+root will work or no?

Thanks a lot.

I don't know if it is possible like in lollipop, but there is something called Magisk which is systemless root.

If you do not know it then it is likely that your device is not unlocked
You can reboot into fastboot by the command
adb reboot bootloader
and then you could execute
fastboot getvar unlock
And just before you ask not every model can be unlocked that being said only the h815 international and the h811 can be unlocked officially

I tried to obtain the hardware id by adt, but I could'nt do the pc does'nt see the device. It is strange because it can see the sd cards like g4 attached device. I activated the debugging usb mode on the developer menu but I did'nt obtain the rsa device id so I think that phone can't work in usb debugging mode.
It is very stupid situation... :crying:
First, you need to check "Enable OEM unlock" in the developer menu. Then, you need to reboot into download mode from which you can get the fastboot command and then it should show you your device ID.
Here you are the tutorial which I used and it worked for me: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
I can't reboot in dowload mode. I push pwr+ vol - and nothing. I connected phone to my notebook and when I launch the adb command it tells me error "null" device. It is stranfe because I can see sd cards like g4...

This is the correct mode but please show a screenshot of your terminal output and the command you have typed on your PC!
I assume that it is Windows what you are using so you may consider to try FWUL instead it has all drivers included and you have everything required already installed and you can run it without touching your main operating system..

depends on your ubuntu version. newer ones should work like this;
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
