[Q] G4 for $380 or G5 for $430? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on AT&T USA and interested in purchasing either a new G4 from them for $383 (after taxes) or a G5 from Craiglist (good source) for $400 and unlocking for $30 more, so about $430 or a $50 difference. I guess the smart answer would be to go with the G5, but I really dislike the looks, reviews have been pretty iffy and really like the G4 looks with the leather covers.
Would you please help me decide one way or the other? I also just learned the U.S. G4's have an unlockable bootloader, so no way to root or install custom ROM's. That's definitely a downfall for me. How about the G5? Did I mention I think it's very ugly? LOL
Thank you in advance.

G5 imo

Pay the extra $50

Depends on following:
• EU Model: Yes / No: If "No", go for Nexus. If "Yes", continue reading.
• I want official & almost stable ROMs: If "Yes", go for G4. If "I can wait": Go for G5.

Taking in consideration the G4 bootloop fiasco I would not go G4. It does not guarantee that G5 does not have any other problems, but at least you do not have the obvious one.

I just picked up a brand new 32 gb G4 for $274.99. I can give you the link if you'd like.

hahaha That was funny. Yes, I would be getting the H815 EMEA model so that I can unlock bootloader and root. And I am after the best camera on a phone for under $500, so both G4 and G5 would come before the Nexus 6P.

You are probably talking about the eBay deal that came out yesterday. I looked at it, but it's the US991 U.S. Cellular model. I want the EMEA model (read above).
Thank you all for your responses!

The G4 is a year old now and what does it for me is the 808 chipset. I think the extra 50$ isn't too much for a newer and better phone. If there was a huge price difference then I'd say the G4

Why so few roms for H815?

I was considering getting an H815 for use on AT&T instead of the new Moto. It appears that you can easily unlock the bootloader. It currently costs less than $450 on Amazon for a 32G leather version. It has an SD card, replaceable battery, great camera, and a good SOC (that does not have issues like the 810). So, why are there so few roms for it? I won't buy a phone unless it is first well-supported on XDA.

H815 will not work with VZ. You have to buy the VZ variant so no unlocked bootloader but can be rooted.

I also do not understand what this means. Are you saying that only OPEN EUR versions can unlock the bootloader and flash roms, and that so few people own them that no one has bothered to create a custom rom for the phone?

Almost all European h815 can get unlocked. H815 without European imei wont work.

As for ROMs, I have been noticing that for a few years on a lot of phones. If you want ROM's, you really need to stock with Nexus devices these days.
I have bought a G4 and luckily mine could be rooted. But yes, there are very few roms available and as a former Samsung user I must say I'm very disappointed with the help you get on the forums. Most queries aren't answered. If I were you I'd stick to HTC.
@phoneturf the h811 is the most prevalent version. I wouldnt get the 815.

Here it is a month later and the support for none of the G4 variants appears to have changed. There are a couple of stock roms for the T-mobile version, but doing a little reading I cannot even tell if there's a working TWRP or CWM for it. I decided to check back with the G4 since now I am instead considering a V10, although I suppose now I won't really consider that one either - I really wanted a replaceable battery and SD card.. If they sold one with an unlockable bootloader for all carriers, like Nexus, Moto, or OnePlus, I assume there would be much more support.
I bought a used G4 815 on Ebay, before I know that only the EU version could be opened (will see what's arriving in a day or two )
Is there any work being done on an Unofficial bootloader unlock?
I saw that the G3 does have allot of roms, did that phone was in the same situation as the G4 at it's beginning?

The G3 was originally in the same boat as the G4 as well in the beginning. That's why everyone is saying stfu and wait. A lot of folks just look at Nexus and other easy unlocks then expect everything to come into their laps within seconds.
And there is an unofficial bootloader unlock in the works. BUT it appears it only works if you haven't taken an OTA update before. All in good time my friend.

I am looking at the Blackberry Priv over the v10.
Take a look, it may do what you need it to and have some extra features added in as a bonus.
Only problem is I do not know what the dev community will be like for this phone.

Well it came in, it's H81510b-TWN-XX :crying:
In the hidden menu I don't see any "roolback" value, so does this says something?
Does using the "low effort root" / installing 11a or 12a will make the roolback value go to 1/2?

Looking for a new phone is the lg g4 good ?

Hello guys i am currently using a Samsung S3 Neo and im looking to buy a new phone.So from reviews like Android authority it seemed very good,performance is great and the camera is amazing but i saw this problem with them called the ''bootloop'' so im wondering if I should buy it. Is the bootloop fixable or not existing anymore because i read that it was only in the models produced the first 2-3 months.

I have it like for 6 months now and zero problems.
I didn't even thought the problem you mentioned was hardware related hehehe
I really thought was custom Rom related.
To be honest I never was a really LG fan because in my country there's like only a few stores with LG accessories etc.
Like I said, for me phone is about camera quality and performance because I use phone as a work gadget.
So... My next one will LG5 if camera please me.
Good luck in your buy

G4 right know has unbelievable value for money!
It has great performance, amazing display, top-tier camera (especially if you learn how to use manual mode), 3000mAh battery and ample ROM support
Just be sure to get an H815 International model if you plan on rooting and doing custom ROM!

you can root locked bootloader only if on lollipop 5.1 and you can also have xposed....
if phone its on marshmallow you also need to know the antirollback version.. like you cant downgrade marshmallow V3 antiroll to Lolliop V2 itll brick phone..
am you must be aware that some devices have bootloop.. and the best thing is for you to have the closest country that has bootloader unlocked... for example. if you are in europe and have the h811 tmobile from usa.. if bootloop.. the phone must be sent to tmobile or to LG usa. unless the place you buy it gives you warranty.... so its best to have one for your country.. if from usa .. they wont fix it in wurope you must send phone to USA...
here is the list on the ones that can be unlock.

read before posting i said to him to get a bootloader unlockable h815 phone. and i stated that he can only root locked bootloader one if hes on LP. just in case he doesnt get one unlockable one. as he might have to send it back in case of bootloop.

Is G4 still bootlooping on manufactured versions of 2016?

Im planning to buy this smartphone by the end of January 2017, its the European version I think (Spain)... But Im afraid it would still bootloop as older G4 devices manufactured in previous months, so...
This problem has been fixed in newer devices?
I was thinking in buying the G5 but the price I have found for this smartphone is quite interesting.
Greetings, and happy new year
Hi ! I don't know at all.....but mine is a h815 sn 506 bought on the begining of November 2015 ....and never have had problem ! Work like a charm ....

How many times is this gonna be asked? No one can tell you if it is fixed with "newer" G4 devices. Anyone who owns this device should have a backup device because you can't trust any G4... and even if its fixed, I still do not recommend this phone. It has many other problems which is in my opinion not worth to deal with. I regret buying this phone.
See my reddit post ---> https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/5glnlt/bad_quality/?ref=share&ref_source=link
If you really want to go with LG, buy the G5, that phone isn't flawless but much more reliable than a ''newer" LG G4.

Well simply no one can tell you for sure, there are some reports of newer versions boot-looping, but that are only a few but still some..
If I was you I wouldn't go for a LG G4. Take the G5 instead if you really wan't a LG phone. That phone has less problems and has better hardware and will be more worth your money in my opinion.

Yes I know, I never said that there aren't G5's with bootloop problems but with that device it is way less common.
And that why I think he should better go for the G5 if he really wants a LG phone.
It's a worry though - if they can bring out a new gen device that still has the flaws it took them a 35000 strong petition to even acknowledge... not a trustworthy company.
I'm sorry to hear ppls had problems with their G4 phones .
What I can say , speaking from a developer perspective , LG g4 is great , at least the one I have , I have a h815 European Unlocked , serial number starts with 6xx.
I just can tell you that i stressed this phone like no other phone before .
I always think how this little piece can take so much stress.
I'm a rom developer and I can say I i flashed and reflashed over 10 -15 times per day different roms.
I build Maru OS for this phone and I runned Debian inside it ,with a lot of app oopened and a lot of multimedia tasks , and tested a lot how apps works on it , even games.
I used it like a pc , using debian and I can tell you I stressed it a loooot .
What I can say is that is a good harware , I do not try to convice anyone to buy one and I do not want ppls to spend money on something that can easly brick . But told you , I was impressed how mine resists to stress. No problems in 4 months.
Have a great day all !

G5 plus development

This phone looks very promising to me. Looks like I'lI be getting it very soon. I hope this device will get a decent support in terms of development. I still has my g3 osprey which has extreme support. All hail to mainly @Alberto97 and @squid2. And also other devs obviously for the support.
I hope some of devs will get it. Alberto and squid just out of curiosity i want to ask you guys are you getting this device?
I hope this device will be getting some love from our talented devs out here.
Already booked , getting my 4gb variant by coming monday. Expecting same as above
peace
I do plan on getting this device and supporting it, along with the basic (non-plus) G5. I don't know if Alberto will be getting the G5, but he already has the Z Play which shares the same processor, so we'll probably be doing a common tree for the basic G5, G Plus, and Z Play.

Off Topic: Guys bought the phone on the release day, and it's amazing !! Do not get heat, The battery is very good, The charger is really fast, the performance is amazing too. In general I recomend it, and I think that lots of Rom will came because it is selling well, the shop assistant said that, it was the most sold phone in the week. As it is a Motorola, all basic steps to dead with it is known.

Nether, in Brazil the only official version is the 2bg. But it don't get lag any time, all the time multitasking is working very well, all apps are running in second plan, but it don't use lot of Ram. I'm surprised swith that. The Oficial SWAP memory is 511mb, with 100% of swipeness

Oh so it has another variant which has 2 GB of RAM. Cool
I also ordered the 4GB variant. Will be exchanging it for the Mi 4i . I am expecting it on Monday. Glad to hear squid2 will be supporting the development !

I do plan on getting this device and supporting it, along with the basic (non-plus) G5. I don't know if Alberto will be getting the G5, but he already has the Z Play which shares the same processor, so we'll probably be doing a common tree for the basic G5, G Plus, and Z Play.

I'll import it from the US. I did the same with otus (2015 Moto E 3G) - it's not sold in Canada, but I liked the device, so I imported it.

Which G7 Variant is best for Root + Tmobile/Metro??

I know i know the G710TM cant be bootloader unlocked, but i can take one of the other variants thats GSM unlocked and bring it to Tmob, so which one is best for compatibility? Specifically looking for 4G LTE and mobile Hotspot to be working correctly. Is this possible, or should i stick with H932 (V30) and root that instead?
thanks in advance
idk but LMG710TM definitely can't root

not looking to root TM, I know this already.
I decided to get ULM and get a remote unlock. I dont see as much development with the G7 as I did with the V30 which is sad.

You are right the deveploment for the lg g7 here on xda is pretty much dead.
You can also get a sprint variant really cheap on ebay
Thats what i did now is rooted on pie ulm but theres nothing else to do since the deveploment is dead.

Gah. you just sealed it. I'm glad that I didn't make the purchase as of yet. But my suspicions it looks like I was correct. I was debating either upgrading all the way to v40 but it looks like development hasn't gone very far either. though I would like the five camera setup and the portrait mode of the two front facing cameras I don't know if it is worth it as having root plus access custom roms is what I'm really looking for. It looks like development for the v30 is where I need to be. Plus I have all the tools necessary to root it. I've actually rooted it before but the phone was stolen for me
Can it really be that a two-year-old smartphone is really the best bet? I can buy 2 v30s for the price of one v40
