Whether I buy LG G4 H818P or not? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I bought a LG G4. The seller today said that they have sent a H818P Dual SIM version. I already have an G4 H815 European Version and I wanted exactly the same one to easily unlock bootloader, root new ROM flash etc. after warranty period.
Should I send it back or should I accept it? What do you suggest to me? Will it be easy to find custom ROMs for H818P in the future (2 years later).
Also, is there any significant differences between them especially for my country Turkey? I have read some posts about rooting H818P with H815 ROMs. Are they easy to cope with? Or is it better to send it back.
Thank you beforehand for your suggestions.

Root for H815T

Hey guys. Sorry if this question has already been posted.
My G4 is H815T. I've been looking around for a root method but in vain.
Hope you guys can help out...
Thanx in advance.
The international H815 v10c image works on the H815T, even though the guide says it doesn't.
I had used a pre rooted kdz for the h815t , it was for v10b though

I have an LG G4 H815T running V10h, just wondering what the best method to root is? I've read all of the XDA posts and so far it looks like I just use the V10c for intl versions of the phone but I really don't want to brick the phone as it's on a contract with Optus (Australia) for another year and a half, can someone please help me? can provide more info if needed.

h811 VS h815

This is going to sound like a noob question, but I have been a HTC user for the last 3 years (M7 and M8) and LG is a little different.
So, I always check this XDA page for useful information when choosing a phone. I have seen 2 versions of the LG G4: h811 and h815. What are these and what is the difference?
Also I am deciding between the G4 and the OnePlus 2 so what do you think I should get?
Thanks is advance!
i'm guessing h815 is the international version

H811 is t-mobile. H815 is international variant. If you do get a G4 you'll want the H815 but look for the european model or else you won't be able to unlock the bootloader and install new roms (cyanogenmod etc)
You can unlock, root, and ROM them both. You just have to carrier-unlock the 811 if you take it off T-Mobile.

Is there any way to tell on these phones on amazon or anything that I am getting a h815?
Thanks BTW!

LG US991 info please...

good day/evening XDA community,
I have a question about the LG G4 US991 variant.
Is it the same in terms of development, modding, rooting etc.?
Can you guys shed some light as to what is the major difference compared to the H815?
Can the H815 developments, rooting, modding etc. work on the US991
thanks in advance guys...
*bump* i am wanting to put cyanogenmod on my LG G4 US991 (US Cellular variant bought unlocked at Best Buy for use on TMobile network which works just fine) but also cant find any info over the H815. Help?

If you are still on Lollipop, it can be rooted with Low Effort root and you can install Xposed through Flashify. That's it, since there's no bootloader unlock. If you're on Marshmallow, you can't root.

I'd swap out your US991 for a T-Mobile H811 (which comes with an unlockable bootloader out of the box). You can only unlock the bootloader on International (non-US) H815s and the T-Mobile H811.
Hey ecaslak, I accept that deal. I have a two weeks old g4 US991 and I happily swap with yours.

Doubt about unlocking the bootloader of H815P

Hi, i have been searching over this page, and some others pages, but havent find anything about this model, "h815p", just some threads around july of 2015 and in that time it was imposible to unlock the bootloader,, but it has been 6 months and i have no ideas if is it possible now or not..., any suggestions?
Email from lg directly yesterday they have no intention of unlocking any other g4s other than europe model ok they say ls991 sorry but im sure that means all
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in LG mobile devices.
Currently, you can only unlock bootloader for LG G4 for the European market with model number H815.
And we have no plan to support bootloader unlocking for LS991.
If there are any changes to the supported devices, we will let you know via our website.
Best regards,

No root on MM but on LP you can root.. with h815 bootloader locked....
but you need to find out if you can downgrade to lollipop. because if on MM downgrade to LP it bricks.. depending on the antirollback version.
