i bought an LG G4 with a model number of h811 but with sprint serial number - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear fellow XDA members i bought an LG G4 H811 and when tried rooting it with no luck by pure luck i noticed that the serial number starts with ls991... Now the rom is 20R as a normal T-Mobile phone ... Anyone faced this issue before ? If so how do i root this phone ?
Thank you

first you dont know what you have.. i suggest to open the phone and take out motherboard. see plaque model if it says h811 then you have h811 if its says ls9 then you have sprint.. thats the only way. they maybe edited software easy to do.. but you can not change model in plaque ..

Thank you for the reply ... Now which one of them can i rely on to determine what to flash on it ... I wanna root the phone and get a custom rom on ... Ive tried to get it to go to the bootloader but it simply restarts without going for the bootloader and im not quite sure what i can do next.. Any tips ?

Sounds like a two part phone.
Has been refurbished..... Most likely sprint motherboard.....bad news

Same issue here but my phone is a refurbished f500l
I suggest you to not customize anything because there is nothing good when it comes to customizing a refurbished phone even flashing official kdz just let it go or you would be in your worst case of customizing
But if you insist you may want to search about qualcomm 9008 mode a little
Best wishes.

I have battery issues too its lg bloatwares but you should have root to modify system and remove crapware(some of them can be disabled through apps menu)
First,try some apps like kingo .etc and see if those apps work because king root worked for me when i had h811 10n rom however its super user app is nothing but bull****...it will do the trick on the other hand.
Second(which i really dont recommend),try low effort root and injecting rooted system with send command and adb search for it in this forum and you will find it.
What i strongly recommend is getting along with it
Because this phone does nt worth the hassle to modify any thing on it if you have a refurbished device
Peace✌

LG G4 qhsusb_bulk After update .

Hello Xda
I tried to update my phone using LG Tool , But while the update process my PC shut down randomly . and my LG won't work anymore at all
but when i connect it to my PC , it recognize the mobile as qhsusb_bulk .
Please Advice ....
Thank you all
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, as you've guessed it though. Looks like you got a brick in the oven and can't feed your droid any new data now. Unfortunately, I don't know of any sure shot methods that will bring it up to par. I suggest either contacting verizon for a new device or the insurance for a new device. Maybe someone who's working on the bootloader, if there are any can help you but by the sound of it, you need a funeral service for your device. Sorry for the fluxed luck. Who knows though, I am not always 100,000% accurate with devices which aren't in front of me to tinker with. Best of Everything lucky to ya though.

Yeah I felt it's so complicated , I have some experience on Rooting and dealing with software issues , but this on is totally new for me.
Thank You Sir
Man that's a huge bummer, sorry to hear. If you have a spare phone and don't mind sitting on that one for a while eventually the files should be available to fix this but no eta is known.

This happened to me too, but i didnt use the LG Flash Tool cause it wasnt working for me so i used LG UP instead. I flashed the right .kdz file for my model and everything but when it finished flashing it remained in a bootloop and now it wont turn on. whenever try to put it in dl mode it doesnt show up with the screens i just see it connected as qhsusb_bulk in the device manager.
i have the open international version so im guessing bootloader so im gonna wait for fix files :fingers-crossed: although its gonna be a while im pretty sure :crying::crying::crying:

What are the files that one would need to fix this? Have they been released now? I've got a phone being recognized as a QHSUSB_BULK as well, and I'm wondering if these files would revive mine as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/general/lg-g4-h811-complete-unbrick-guide-100-t3461629 do some google searches for lg g4 unbrick tool then read and read and read.

Issues new g4 owner

1- if i use yhe music player then use the bottom square button to get back into that app it restarts the song. Does this happen to you as well?
2-not sure this happens to others but adjusting Brightness and then exiting the notifications i notice the screen flicker after
3 seconds.
3-I come to click a link or play a video and it asks me what app to use. Even when i click the box use as dedault app.
4- dont like the app icon designs so bought retrorika icon pack. Also downloaded nova launcher but i have no idea how to run either.
Any help appreciated
No one anyone soneone?

My G4 H815 belivies it is a h818

Hi,
After upgrading from 5.1 to 6.0 my G4 got some issues.
First of all when i turn it one never turns the creen on. I had to do a work around using the USB cable to get the screen on and that doesn't wark very often eatheir so its preatty annoing.
Second the sim is not working.
I tryed many time to roll back or flash a new firmware but it didnt work.
I also find out when the phone is in download mode that is says LG-H818 but mine is fore sure a H815.
Is it some way to fix it?
Thanks

I just connected the phone to LGBridge and it notified the marshmallow update. I dont' know why it flashed a h818 rom
Does anyone know if there is a way to put the H815 firmware back? right know it believes to be a h818 so it doesnt allow me to flash it. WIth the h818 doesnt even turn on right now
Is ur phone recently repaired by lg or did u bought it used ? Cuz there is no way lg bridge can make mistake on ur g4s varaint...either someone u bought off tried to change the buid prop file to make u believe its h815 or ur phone is refurbished/repaired using components n sensors of other model
I bought it from a guy and the phone was totally new ( it had all the protection film on it and even the box was sealed).
I'm starting to think it was regenerated but i dont understand how could it be the dual sim one.
Do you have any suggestion how to fix it? right now i can just uplad h818 firmware from lgup but of course they are not working

Its probably refurbished ...if i were u i wont try to tinker any software things u might probably brick it so most probably leave it as it is good thing to know that atleast ur phone wont bootlooop like the rest...try contacting the person u bought it from or check it if its under warranty by lg from him
Right now its already rebooting aftern turning on, so i can not se how could damage it more. Any suggestion for possible solution?

In my opinion no its not worth the hassle but ot only takes 5 mine to check ot 2. Unless its got the bootloop issue or hard bricked its fixable. But how determined are you.

my phone boots up completely but no baseband no imei or anything and that infamous 9008 brick is fixable with ls991 laf.img and 8992.mbn and etc... files and here is my next approaches please if you have enough aknowledge guide me with these options i have or add any if something came on your mind:
1.Flashing a ls991 model kdz and see what comes out(probably not doable,lgup may not let me flash it)
2.while surfing through the forums and threads i found the exact H811 10N Laf.img and i will replace it with ls991's and will use QFIL to correct the partitions and then my phone would be fixed(im too scared for this one...maybe my phone is a refurbished F500...who knows? :fingers-crossed: )
3.Maybe finding and flashing F500 laf.img fix the phone but a HUGE problem i am facing:where to find that file?
Note:All i am trying to do is to fix this phone by software approaches and disassembling the phone is out of my options for now(only will do if none of above fix it properly)
So with all of that what would you do if you be in my shoes?:cyclops:
Always hated LG and admired Sony but i started to hate xperia x series because of weak development so i bought this one for around 100$ in your currency.:laugh:
Id send it back.

then i will use them to crack open kdz from both H811 and F500L firmwares to flash laf and other messed up files with fastboot
but im wondering which one should i try first because im concerned if i flash wrong files then there will be even no 9008 mode to use QFIL and get back to very first step...
What is going to happen exactly when i flash another varient's laf? will it kill the phone completely or will there be any 9008?
Thanks for those apps you mentioned btw:good:

yea ive been using em since g2.and i use em on all lgs . diag tool is for flashing but at the bottom u can extract
i get my own .dlls for lgg2 flash tool and i flash orig g4 firmware with it still.
if i could find the tot would for g5.
now if u break 9008 jtag i think is the only fix i dont know the pin outs or if the g4 even supports that like the g3 and 2. thats why i say take device apart its fricken easy there should be a sticker on the mother board or stamps that say the mbs model and go from there

Actually LG devices are very easy to disassemble so people like them wont put so much effort to refurbish LG phones and earn themselves some easy money.
And believe me Iran is the heaven of refurbished and chinese phones
Mostly because many cant afford to buy their phones and other stuff from trusted sellers and they buy them with no warranty(or guarranty)from third party sellers.
Actually they have a place for themselves in downtown(Aladdin building).
But i wanted a flagship LG device to learn more about it and i got it for a couple of bucks so it really didnt matter if my G4 didnt work as expected.
But its always a pleasure to make some mystery and try to crack the case by yourself :laugh:

of course they are great but hardware faults are pretty big deal but for me sony z series were better right until z3+ .for now im happy with my htc u11 and im not going to unlock it or anything.
maybe i use g4 as my secondary device instead of xperia z2.
its a shame that sony is not in its golden age (2011-2013) anymore...
will make a thread to help people like me to unbrick their refurbished device
Thanks for everything

Many times a phone becomes a brick because the tutorial "how to flash" was underestimated, people read them too fast, download any file, install everything randomly, everything very fast.... and later, oh... I ruined my phone!
Not saying that was your case, but it won't hurt you if you take a look again to the tutorials, and others fails and solutions.
Good luck!
