I personally LOVE my LG G4. I have had very little of the screen and lag issues that people were talking about (and after getting myself the 10c update I have literally no bugs at all). I generally tell people it comes down to the users personal taste when making a decision like this, but...

This also works just fine on the US991 (US Cellular Version) of the G4

I do not see why you could not just put it into download mode and flash a stock rom to your G4. ......I had that issue once wish a Galaxy S3, all I had to do with it was put it into download mode and then flash it back to stock and it was good to go.

It is fake. Currently there is NO One-Click Root method for our G4. In all honesty though the "low effort" method is so easy and quick (less than 5 minutes, seriously it only takes a few seconds once you have all the files you need) that I do not even see the point or need in making a One Click...

Hey guys, I went ahead and rooted my US991 (U.S Cellular version) of my G4 yesterday and I was told I would want to go ahead and block all the OTA updates now (just in case, since LG likes to update our devices wthout asking or telling us).......I was just wondering how/what is the best or...

Hey Buddy, After you reboot your phone go into your app drawer and find your newly installed SU app.....Open it up and allow it to update via the normal method (will take a minute or two) when it is done just go back into your root checker and run it again, should e good to go.

I have downloaded the Root file for the US991 THREE TIMES now and every time I just get a "rootedsystem" data file (after extracting the US991_10C folder which gave me a "US991_10C.tar" zip that I again extracted). Am I able to use this rootedsyst Disc Image File (it is 4,386,816 KB). I am...

I have personally not had a single issue that would make me need to take the phone back and swap it out. I understand that you are nervous about that, but just be careful as far as drops and around liquids and you will be good to go buddy.

This is when you restore the device back to factory and they are non-the-wiser about any of it. .....They really do not go out of their way to discover if you rooted or not (at least around here they don't).

So, no LGUS991 currently? (US Cellular version) Sad face.

I had my fair share of issues with the G4 at first (miss touches, lag, freezing, ect.) However, all I had to do was hit it with a factory reset and after that the phone was good to go. I have not had a single freezing issue or a miss touch since about day 3/4 when I did my factory reset.....I...

Finally got my promos. All in all it ended up taking about six weeks, two phone calls and one email in order to finally get them delivered to my place.

Well after over a month of waiting I finally got my battery and SD card. Registered on the 16th of June, had to call LG twice in July and finally got my promos 2 days ago.

Maybe try booting into recovery in order to wipe EVERYTHING (and I mean everything possible). Then boot back into download mode and flash the STOCK .kdz file (the one that your phone came from your carrier with, 10a/b which it was depending on how long you have had your phone). If that does...

I just can not see any way this would go well. Granted, I could be wrong but (at least to me) this seems like basically flashing a ROM that is meant for one device onto another.....yeah the specs are SIMILAR and all, but similar and the same are two very different things in a situation like...

I can certainly respect your decision, even if I would not do the same thing. Sorry that you did not get as much out of your G4 as you were expecting that you would, I just hope you can find a phone that fits your needs and you can have more fun with. BTW - That Nexus 5 2015 does sound pretty...

Well after waiting another couple of weeks I decided to call LG again. Once again I was told by the rep on the phone (mind you I called the help line for the promo) that she has no way to track what is going on with the promo so basically I just have to "wait and see". I registered all 3 of my...

I have my service through US Cellular and they sell them directly in store here. The Verizon store that is **** 2 buildings down also sell the same case (I can not remember how much they run though as I picked up OtterBox cases for all of my phones)

Well, s**t......I am sorry to hear of your bad luck man. I have heard of a few people managing to do a one drop break/crack but mine seems to be pretty legit as far as reliability goes (Granted, I have had a OtterBox Case on it from day one so it has always been protected and everything). I...

I have actually been LOVING my G4. My old daily driver was the Galaxy Note Edge but then I stumbled on this fella (my first in the G-Series and second LG device) and kind of fell in love with it right off the bat. So I ended up picking up one for a new daily driver. Right after that though I...

This sums it up in a nutshell. Trust me the second we get Root Access this place will explode like a rumor through a high school.....EVERYONE will know about it and it will be all you see/read about for at least a week. Just be patient little buddy, As they say....Rome was not built in a day...

If it makes you feel any better, back when I rooted my HTC Hero I had to take apart an S-Video cable so I could make the phone short out (had to connect from MicroSD slot to the motherboard) basically this made it boot from the SD card as opposed to from the phone.....Talk about being sketchy, eh.

Well damn, I am sorry to hear that man. Had I known I would not have made you waste your time (now I feel like a ****). I will search around online and message a few people and see if I can get an answer or a solution (hopefully a resolution) for you. Again I am sorry that LG was of no...

I have seen a few people in this same boat (with the actual unlockable variant), though I do not recall every seeing anyone get an answer out of anyone on what to do in order to fix it.....Though since this is supported by LG, you could always try to email them directly or call their customer...

^THIS^ Sorry bro but if something like this worked or was just that simple you would see it all over the forums and people would be ranting and raving about it......Just be patient though. All G4 devs have Root already and we are just waiting on it to be safe for the general user before we all...

Do't worry guys, for Root is on its way. It might take a little bit of time, but it is better to wait and get a safe root method rather than end up with a bricked device. Just remember, our Devs are people too, they have real life issues, goals, and plans, So it IS NOT like they can just sit...

I am wondering the same thing, though I will be making ROMs for our varient of the G4......Also if anyone needs testing done on the US991 I would be more than happy to be the guinea pig (I picked up multiple G4's just for this purpose, lol).

It is really not. Sure the phone has been out for a little bit of time now, but for one it is not like our devs managed to all get one on launch day, so you have to consider the fact that in reality we have only been working on it for a short period of time. Secondly, When you consider the fact...

I also have a LGUS991 so I will have to try this out if I can get my hands on a T-Mobile Sim. As a work around though (at least in the mean time) you can always get your hands on a Wifi Calling and SMS app, so you can still at least use it to communicate while trying to "unlock" the phone and...

I have no idea (This is my first venture into the G-Series devices), so I do apologize if this is something that people are well aware of and is just a non-viable method.

As others have stated the phone was only officially announced on the 28th of April.....It is essentially still just a baby. Not to mention the fact that as it stands there are only a handful of DEVs that have root access. So just give it time, we all know how the game gets played and once the...

May I ask how you managed to do this and what were you attempting to do when this happened??

Yeah I have never understood why some people post mini-rants about needing help so bad but ALWAYS leave the details as murky as possible, logically speaking it just never adds up.

Sorry man, Really wish it would have worked for you (It seems to have worked for quite a few people on here). Hopefully they will let you pull the old switch-a-roo then since this is clearly a defect.

You might want to try and do a .KDZ Flash in order to take your device back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-complete-kdz-list-t3147406

I remember back when the Original Nintendo Wii was hacked and you needed the signature in order to boot your burnt discs, someone ended up coming up with an app that basically extracted the signature out of a legit game and then was able to upload it onto the .ISO before it was burnt. Could we...

Thank you so much for the updates!! Glad to see you are making progress on this (granted it might be a one step forward and one step back kind of deal, but this is how we figure things out). I am in absolutely NO RUSH for this, and while yes, I am VERY MUCH looking forward to a few select...

I was just wondering where the best place to go for the US Cellular version would end up being. I kind of assume just stick to the overall "non-branded" forums, but since I do believe the Sprint version is the LS991 and the US Cellular is US991 if they will essential run the same way (granted I...

While this is not exactly my area of expertise, I do know a couple people that might be able to lend a hand to you on this. I will shoot them a message on facebook and see what we can come up with for ya, buddy. I shall keep you "in the loop" as far as progress or completion of this.

Big Thanks for this thread (as I was lucky enough to provide someone with my .KDZ for the US991 on 10b before it self updated to 10c) It is nice to know that those of us that got hit by the forced update have a way to salvage the device and go back to what we were given at launch just in case...

Nothing like wanting someone to do you a favor and trying to tell them they are not doing it fast enough, eh. .....I understand people be excited (as I am sure this guy is/was) but NEVER should you put the safety of your device (or EVERYONE on XDA for that matter) as a second class priority...

Nope, I sure didn't. Though I also did my registration from my Laptop and not my G4.

I am in to give this a whirl....If you so see fit, naturally.

Sadly yes, that is correct. Sorry I forgot most people stream their music these days, lol. (I have like 240GB's of .mp3 files on my computer so I always just play from local to conserve both battery and data).

No worries, it just is what it is (yeah I was angry about it, but not like I can do anything about it). I will certainly go through and block the rest of the applications that you mentioned though so hopefully I can prevent any future aggravations caused by these damn self-updates. Thanks for...

I personally use PlayerPro (with the add-on for the Ten Band EQ from the Play Store). I find it can be adjusted to being absolutely perfect (plus the general interface of the app is one of the best I have found for playing music)

Just a quick heads up (might just be me, might be US Cellular in general....I am not sure) I went through and did this after hearing about different companies basically force feeding their clientel these OTA Updates and even though I did it all right down to the letter and did not skip anything...

My US Cellular version (LGUS991) only had Chrome as a pre-installed browser, but after having some very annoying (albeit trivial) issues with Chrome on this device I opted to just remove it and opted to use Opera for Android (which I am finding has all the features I liked about Chrome and then...

No worries buddy. I completely understand your frustration based on the entirety of your situation and I do not fault you for being upset/aggravated in the least. I also did not take your post as you being "whiny" or anything of the sort either, Your concerns are essentially the same ones all...

I listen to music on mine with PlayerPro and the full band EQ. Using this combination I really find no difference between the G4, Note Edge, and Galaxy Tab 4.....It might just be me or the fact that the N6 is a beast of an audio device, but that seems to be where people notice the biggest (or...
