Sooo, I want to root my LG G4 (H815). It's on 6.0 V20d-EUR-XX. My SN starts with 505 and I read that it will probably have a boot loop problem. Thats why I don't want to unlock the bootloader(avoid voiding warranty). Is there a method without unlocking it?

am the same as you but mine its 601.. i just updated it to MM.. seems like its impossible without twrp and mod kernel..
ive seen a page that says its possible i just dont get it
i feel mortal without root :crying::crying:
http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/04/root-lg-g4-60-marshmallow.html
My device: LG G4(H815) on V20d-EUR-XX Android 6.0, SN starts with 505, antirollback: 0, bootloader locked, not rooted, no recovery installed.
I did some research and this is my plan.
Can some tell me if the following steps will successfully root my device without any problems?
Or did I get something wrong somewhere?
1. Backup data
2. Downgrade to "Europe General H81510B_00.kdz" (or should I use Europe OPEN H81510D.kdz? Whats the difference?) with help of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60718499&postcount=2
3. Inject root with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
(4. Install SuperSU, Flashify and then TWRP)
After that can I upgrade to 6.0 while keeping root?
Will I void the warranty by doing this? I mean the bootloader would still be locked, right? Or did I get something wrong?
If it will void the warranty, can I get it back by unrooting my phone? If so, how can I unroot it?
I just want to be extremly careful, because if I get the bootloop (or some other **** happens), I want to send my phone in for repair.
Thanks in advance.

can you inject on MM?? it will void warranty if they found out root... to unroot it i think you must flash KDZ stock firmware while in bootloop it will flash it and root will be gone.... i think thats how it works not so sure.. i know that rooted system then flashing stock will remove root if refurbished is selected... also if you have bootloop people downgrade to lollipop and then flash modded TOT that disables big cores. so even with bootloop flashing stock will reset everything when refurbished its used... i think thats how it works.... i want to root MM to..
not so sure you can keep root .. you mean to go to lollipop use rooted system and update to 6.0? and keep root.. i beleive youll loose root.. but not 100% sure i might be wrong..

Thanks for the info about unrooting. That made me a little bit more secure about rooting my device
And by the way I don't want to inject on MM. I will downgrade to Android 5.1 and then I will inject root.
That way I will have root access, but I guess I will have to stay on 5.1 until there is a better way to root 6.0.

Rooting the phone is really easy, infact you can do it without even using a PC (towelroot). At the moment there is no custom recovery, but hopefully we will see that change once the phone is released in more countries (later this week).
As for unroot, one simple method would be to re-flash stock, but I assume you are looking for an easier solution than that.
That's what I am looking for too because of the bloody Barclays Bank app.
I want to root my LG G3, block ads, bloatware etc and then unroot to get Barklays app working
S4min, Grand 2, Note 2 - I always rooted phones and then unrooted by uninstalling root in SuperSu app.
Is there any similar method for LG G3?
Re-flashing to unroot doesn't make sense for me cos I will loose everything I needed the root for

I don't have my G3 yet to check (and not sure I will be rooting it straight away when I do get it, I want to see how far I can go without root first), but I cannot see why the unroot method in SuperSU would not work.

Flashing back to stock should take you back as if you have never rooted. Assuming all you did was root the phone.
If/when there are further modifications such as unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery images this might change.
Hello everyone! It's been a month or so since I got a new LG G4 and I've been wanting to root it since the but I don't want to void the warranty yet, so I have a few questions about this. This isn't my first phone to root, but I need some info on this one.
1. What's the difference between *Low Effort Root**and *Bootloader Unlock and Root*?
2. The low effort root can save me from voiding my warranty? Note: I'm from Romania and my LGH815 is a Romanian model too.
3. If those are not the only ways to root it, is there any way of rooting and not voiding the warranty?
4. If question 2 or 3 has a positive answer, can I still get official updates from LG or do I need to download and flash them then root again?

You can use low effort and whenever you want to you can flash back to stock, unroot and make it look to LG (or to whoever might have given you a warranty) as if you never altered anything.
You never think about taking an ota while rooted but updating manually ("low effort" with newest firmware version, for example marcosuper7) is unproblematic. Ok?

I agree with the manual update, but as far as I know, there are some things that show that I've been changing or altering the software on the phone, some code, I don't really know.

1. low effort only roots and do not touch the bootloader... with bootloader unlock your warranty is void.
2. yes (if you restore to stock with lg flash tool before.)
3. no other way to root till now.
4. no. you have to flash official updates with lg flash tool and root again.

Understood. But what's the difference between those 2? Besides "touching" the bootloader. Any advantage on any of them or disadvantage?

with an unlocked bootloader you can install twrp and then you can flash something for example custom roms.

Great informative thread! A few Q's if its OK?
1. So with Low Effort Root I can use Xposed and all the modules, remove bloatware and if something goes wrong I can just us the LG tool for restoring?
2. When an OTA is released I will loose root, or I won't even be able to install OTAs?
3. I really want to change the colours if the notification quick toggles, that should be able to do with Xposed, right?
4. Are all G4 updates available viua the LG tool, don't want to use old firmwares just because I'm rooted?
5. After rooting and changing what I want to change can I then remove root to make the phone more secure and not as "open" and potentially vulnerable?

1. yes
2./4. you never try to take an ota on a rooted g4. You flash through flashtool or push a rooted image when it's available, a couple of days after official release at max.
3. yes
5. most of the advantages of root are lost once you unroot. The only one you don't lose (that i can think of) is that you're still as debloated as before unrooting.

But changes like the one mentioned in (3) will still be there after I remove root?
I'm pretty sure Xposed or any associated modules won't work, or won't work properly if you un-root. Why are you so worried about leaving your phone rooted?

Not sure I'm that worried, but I know that some apps won't start on a rooted device. But I remember something about an app that hides the fact that the phone is rooted, does that exist?
Is there any possible root method yet for the verizon LG G4 VS986, running the newest update of 24C?
Its the most current update.
Or is there a way to downgrade and THEN root it?
You can't root 6.0 without unlocking the bootloader since it requires a modified boot img. You can modify it on this phone but at best of won't boot, or worst you brick it.
If also appears the upgrade to 6.0 with a locked bootloader is a one way transaction. It won't allow a downgrade back to Lollipop.

There is a way to downgrade to 13B and then root the system. But there is no way to unlock the bootloader.
Please search the XDA for the same. I just successfully downgraded and have rooted 5.1 on G4.
If you downgrade to 13b and root, can you use Flashify to keep root and OTA to 29A (or latest MM)?

Downgrade from MM has been possible for some time. Every question you asked has been asked and answered several times.
You should do a little searching before posting redundant questions.
Here's the link for downgrading.

I went back to Lollipop after being on 28A. It's easy. Download 13B from Codefire. Use LGUP to go back to Lollipop.
All I see are options that require me to unlock the bootloader (lose warranty completely) or use Kingroot (borderline malware and is only temporary).
Is there no way to root MM yet that doesn't include the above?
I want to remove so much crap Virgin Mobile put on my phone and block ads. I mean they put Mcafee Security on my phone and it doesn't allow me to disable it.
Take a look at this page on this thread. The first two post on the page are what you need to root. I would have rooted mine but i await autorec for D852G marshmallow, all other versions are available. i believe your device version will be avaialble. So currently i am temp rooted with king root.
If you worry about king root being malware then simply install droidwall and block it from having access to the internet after you root.
Which device do you use.
the annoying thing is, to root the lg g3 mm you need to unlock the bootloader, and to unlock the bootloader you need to root... so am like what kind of messed up situation is that. Currently no developers are showing much support for rooting the LG G3. wish i dint buy the device

I could live without titanium backup i guess.
Im using d852 with no g.
But the best ad blockers all need root
Gues im stuck waiting for the warrenty to expire and doing it anyway.
I tried flashing back to 5.0 using flashtool, but i got so many problems and errors, i bricked my phone twice.so when i finally got back to 6.0 I just said screw it.
I guess that it's impossible to extract the exploit which kingroot uses? I am looking for root d855 without kingroot and I see that it doesn't exist...
Just tried the 1 click with MM, script said fail, phone says do not unplug, flashing firmware, 0%, unsure what to do now...
I pulled battery and all is fine.. guess a sg update is in order...

nope. wont persist through the reboot necessary to flash fonts. btw since u seem to be attempting it ,did u manage temp root via king or kingo on stock 6.0.1? i never attempted it. i took safe upgrade the root actuaally occurs on 5.1.1 base then upgrade with aboot ripped from firmware (safe upgrade is 5.1.1 base with 6.0.1 toolchain making it possible to upgrade with aboot ripped out of firmware ) the last part of guide wasnt remotely even necessarry where it tells u to place the file in recovery . i didnt understand why you would do that ? i guess if u were planning on staying on stock bit then why unlock in first place .
