Can you give me a link, please? I can't find this frimware.
This one did work for me.

At least the first time I tried the patched aboot. A fresh install does not work, you must run the system updates.

But if a n10f does not boot by default, that's the only chance I see for you.

Is your phone carrier locked or not? Maybe that's the reason why it does not boot on a standard rom by the way.

Thanks a lot. No, my phone not locked. Three days ago i had installed v10f, root and patched boot. But I didn't understand, which programm can install recovery in .img format. I used adb for install this recovery and it gave my bootloop. I fixed my phone via LG Bridge. It install me latest frimware without my core language (I bought it in Germany and phone had Russian language). Since that I can't downgrade to LP v10f. I will try your frimware.

So after I did everything that was in the first post I typed reboot and my phone now boot but with a black screen. The screen is not lighting up it's just black. Did i do something wrong?

Hi, you can get everything here.
Thanks for a working link!
I'm still having trouble with unlocking the bootloader though... I'm on Lollipop 5.0.2 and obtained root via Kingroot. If I use adb to flash the aboot_5120.bin file I do see a message that something was written (not an error message), but if I then reboot and try to flash TWRP I get a 'Flash Failed' message. Does anybody have any thoughts how I could fix this?

edit:
Ah I fixed my own problem. But still with some help from Anghirrim, just not actively. I found a post from him on a French forum (can't post links yet so: forum.frandroid.com/topic/260934-tutorial-lg-g4c-h525n-bootloader-unlock-et-twrp/). Here he uses the same files, but doesn't flash the recovery with the TWRP app, but with Flashify. So I downloaded the Flashify apk, installed it and flashed the already downloaded TWRP image with it. That worked! I have no idea why the TWRP app couldn't do what the Flashify app could, but well... there it is. Now flashing LOS 14.1 which can be also found in one of the threads here. Hope it helps others who are stuck with the 'locked' bootloader as well!

edit2:
Hmm... now flashed the latest LOS 14.1 from pvineeth97 , but stuck in a bootloop and not able to get into recovery. Could get into download mode and into fastboot. Fastboot flashing didn't work, so went back and flashed the lollipop image I used before to downgrade. That did the trick and at least the phone is up and running again. Will try again later to see if can fix it.
