[Help] LG G4 Update and root things - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i just bought an lg g4. And it's something weird about it. Its an h815 version. The imei, the serie and the numbers are the same as the box, nothing weird. BUT the phone is alredy rooted. From fabric? Its rare. But thats not the problem. The problem is it has 5.1 and i want the update to 6. I checked ota and nothing. So i want to make an update from lg bridge from pc. But ITS ROOTED and i read it can make troubles. So i unrooted the phone with supersu and then i uninstalled it. I download rootchecker and the app say the phone is not root anymore. But SuperSu app still appearing in the system apps list. I try to make theorys. But nothing makes sense. I dont wanna ask if its weird because it is. The question is if i could install the update without risks.
Extra information: when i open the supersu app it says that the binaries need an update but couldn't download it.
If its usefull i upload a screenshot of the software info
Sorry for my english im not a native speaker

it is once you know. its pretty safe to do.
first you must have the LG drivers i think in link of LGUP they have it.
download LGUP install in computer
find out wich variant you have and download the corresponding KDZ. that you need to find out.
KDZ's should be there in LGUP link where it says OTHER GREAT THREADS TO HELP YOU storagecow has KDZ files
just read each step carefully.

you should try to push the correct build.prop via the adb. then all should work. and don't put OPEN in build.prop you should put spr (small letters)

you still have custom recovery? if yes, adb side load sprint rom from the sprint development section, then flash it (make sure it flashes successful) Now, your phone should be a sprint g2 again. Now try flashing stock sprint rom via lg flasher tool. It should work now.

updating through lg flasher tool, will not work. Because, it would think your lg isn't a sprint one anymore. so, first check if you have root, then flash custom recovery via this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
then, once you have custom recovery, flash an sprint rom from sprint development section. Also, to do this you need basic ADB knowledge which isn't that difficult.

just select "Do not show next time" and allow it...You won't be bothered anymore...Although i am not sure why is the app asking for permission...Have u denied any permission to the app or sumthin coz it should not ask u to grant permission for this...
I tried all the combinations and nothing changed. Still popping up. Same happens when Im taking picture with Facebook messenger, every time asks me if it can use the camera.
That's weird, I've never seen that before on my phone. Is that a built in Android thing or is it one of the Asus bloatware apps?

Mee too... I dont think it is either of them... There is no such kinda bloatware in Asus and it cant be built-in android thing as we are not getting this prompts...Maybe he has installed some kinda app which notifies about permissions

Perhaps its that antivirus that Asus included. I uninstalled that right away, as it let me do so.
What antivirus?! I didnt install any of that crap. I found that this happens on zenfone 5 and there is a fix for that.
EDIT. What is the latest firmware? System update tells me is the latest version installed but I thing it isnt.
EDIT 2. Yep there is a newer version available. Ill try to install it and see if its happening again

It was some DrVirus or something like that. I don't remember exactly because I uninstalled it before it had a chance to run.
I updated to new rom and problem has gone

Should probably know what you're doing before you do it..
Hello may be i can help..
First tell me are u familliar with recoveries,flashing,boot etc
Do u knw how to get to recovery mode in lg g4?
The most simple way to root ANY DEVICE is to use vroot.apk. it can root almost evrery device. Downliad it fro google not from Playstore.try itand tell me if it works.or if not works u can try iroot version of v root for computer windows.

Don't **** with your device if you have no experience with root. Your version H818, as far as I am aware; has not been unlocked or rooted yet.

Well it's not, as the only device that can have the bootloader unlocked is the H815 EU unlocked variant. The is no way to unlock bootloader and fit any other variant yet.
It is the EU VERSION

rooted for first time and removed com.lge.sui.widget now settings not working, help

Hey im new here!
I've had my G3 a while and today i decided to root it and try to install cyanogenmod. So the root went fine i rooted with Kingroot (blue white crown logo) it went fine and it said phone is rooted. but i got stuck a little bit after that when trying to unlock bootloader and kind of advanced stuff like that I downloaded the app ''System app remover (ROOT)'' just to try out some awesome root stuff.
I removed a couple of pre installed programs and files (com.lge.sui.widget was problably then only was that was bad to remove) and now i cant access settings ( little window appearing saying ''Unfortunately settings has stopped working" and my widgets does not work at all. I tried to unroot the phone again with SuperSU but it just says it needs update (which is not working). And root checker says my phone is till rooted, so.
I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/removed-com-lge-sui-widget-bricked-t3145799 and i wonder is this working (flash kdz)? And then i saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVLd-HlqveE and it seems quite easy so will this help?
There is another problem i tried to factory reset phone (hard reset when power on it) and i just does not work, when i press yes on everything i shows lg logo BUT with terminal up at the left corner and it says something with error Boot cerification only error and then screen just turns black, and light start blinking red and blue ( it stop when i press volume+ tho?).
After this i can't boot until unplug and plug battery in again then i can boot normally.
So do you guys think this will work? :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVLd-HlqveE or some of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/removed-com-lge-sui-widget-bricked-t3145799?
And lg has no official firmware to get it fully factory STOCK or repair software or anything like that?
I guess i should not have tried rooting and stuff att all, it all seems so difficult
I've got an d-855
Thanks
Looks like you were on lollipop and tried to install twrp via twrp manager or flashify?
What state is your phone now? If you can´t boot to android (you should be able to boot..) try holding volume up and connect to pc, see if it loads download mode(software upgrade mode)

So i should download this KDZ file then: http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/D855/Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz? My android version i lollipop i believe but im not entirely sure. I downloaded app ''My android'' and it said lollipop 5.0 so i guess it is. Then i just use the software and follow instructions/the yt video? Thanks.
This one is Marshmallow. If you tend to have a rooted device without custom recovery(twrp) then I would stick with lollipop version 20(20a, b,..., up to 21a)
But marshmallow should provide smoother transitions and overall system performance and features. You can revert at any time.

Plug your phone to your PC, and start LG Bridge to check for update.
LG Up also works, but you'll have to find a corresponding KDZ( not that easy )

Get LG Bridge from here: www.lg.com/hk_en/support/support-mobile/lg-H815T
Don't flash other variant‘s KDZ,or you’ll risk BRICK your device or get a null IMEI
H815T is not a common device and there're HK version and AUS version,use LG Bridge for safe.
Ok thank you... One last question Can i use cyanogen mod rom?? If yes which one?? I will b greatly in debt

no i think your phone cant be bootloader unlocked.
you cant root MM only LP thats why you had it rooted.
LP and MM system is different and on LP there was a hole that you could xploit it to rooted this changed on MM. in blocked.
so only in LP can be rooted with locked bootloader. wich am 100% your phone is. also if you plan to go back to LP make sure to know wich antirollback you are because different antirollback hard bricks phone..
still haven't managed to update mm... update file downloaded (1.67 gig~..too slow connection 4 hr to download this file) it started updating went to 9% than phone restarts into download mode and error pops up in bridge saying report recover error
can i download the update manually AND install it because stock downloader takes too long (normal downloading @150~200 kbs/s when my peak connection speed is 500~600 kbs/s)
update ** now my phone doesn't show up on my laptop anymore ****
