Hey I'm still using the LG G4 as my daily driver! Come here almost daily to look for new news.
Ive been all over g5 and g6 threads waiting. To see if any kinda new roots happen to see if i can try to adapt for g4.
Im in everyone elses boat now. G5 stuck on a zva nougat no root no downgrade. Only a no root simunlock

Is there a way to flash an activated image to bypass the setup wizard? In my case i got an ls991 but i cant pass the setup wizard, im on ZVD but theres a bug in the phone that only says wait a second and thats all, ALL the methods to bypass i already tried it but no luck :/

It could be something else causing the bug, which you might be able to disable before setup proceeds.

Try turning off everything else you don't need. Personally I had problems with the following when I was installing MellowMallow - to my knowledge everyone who didn't do this is now running a broken version of mallowmushroom because they accepted the auto-update LG utilities which breaks the ability to check the status of your apps under settings:

"Note: after installation, the phone will try to auto-update its own LG setup and other apps. But the updated LG Setup won't work properly. So turn off the auto update under settings --> about phone --> update center --> turn off the settings for auto update (frequency none)."

Maybe there is a similar service or setting you can disable after doing a factory reset, that will help avoid that bug you mention?

Thanks for your reply ... I dont know if its the same process but I already disabled some apps using guides to get into setup menus, but the most important app (Setup Wizard) cant be disabled cause im on MM 6.0 ZVD stock rom and all recent security patches blocked all the possibilities to skip that screen.

You´re welcome to all of you using the image I uploaded :good:
It would be great if y´all hit the THANKS button too you know? @TheMadScientist420 we still got hope with the G4 with this new method made by @steadfasterX
Mine bootloops every now and then and I resurrect it using a Heat gun so I´m willing to try anything that can get me to use custom roms on it or leave it to completely die hard bricked.

My method should just work fine with a ls991. Issues currently happen for other variants but afaik it would just work for you. After this you can root MM, install custom ROMs (if there were any for your variant), TWRP, ...

No guarantees for anything - as usual ;)

If you wanna test come to IRC on Monday to Friday and i can guide you through.

Hi, I need you to tell me please, if this is the rom zvd and if it is prerooted, and if it installs with LG up.

there is no root on g4 past zv6 and cannot downgrade or hardbrick will result
suposedly there may be a root method in work in progress but as i know of not yet
you have to download and instal lgup yourself its not bundled with any firmwares
