[UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock ANY* LG G4 device with UsU

[NummerEinsNerd]

Whenever I try to uninstall an app, my g4 soft reboots, not uninstalling the app. Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Tried wiping caches, still won't let me uninstall ?

Also I can't set a lock screen, only swipe to unlock

Hello @steadfasterX if I am able to successfully unlock my lg g4 h815 can I be able to flash the ilapo images to disable the big cores as my device will be unlocked now or can it brick the device if I do so?
Arb is V=0
Device is Still on Android M

OK I got aocp 8.1.0 installed with swift black substratum theme :highfive:

SteadfasterX is the man! :highfive:

Suck those apples, LG :highfive:

 

[mwahahaa]

When I do a nandroid backup I get "Failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy). Does this indicate a problem or can I proceed to flashing a custom rom?

ok took a bit longer but i wanted to test the ZIPs first:

FULL Nougat ROM for any device which has ARB = 0:
G4_ARB-0_v29a_FULL-STOCK-ROM_UsU.zip
G4_ARB-0_v29a_FULL-STOCK-ROM_UsU.zip.md5

FULL Nougat ROM for any device which has ARB 1 or higher:
G4_ARB-any_v29a_FULL-STOCK-ROM_UsU.zip
G4_ARB-any_v29a_FULL-STOCK-ROM_UsU.zip.md5

The above contains the full STOCK v29a STOCK ROM and there is no need to remove anything from within.
Just choose the right one for your ARB and flash it in TWRP.

Have fun

Will it work on LG G4 F500L nougat updated?

Hey Steadfaster, I'm wondering if my lockscreen issue has to do with the modem since the VS986 needs the full Lollipop modem and can't use the N baseband zip that you provided in the OP.

 

[අධිරාජ (Adhirāja)]

well just wait 30 min. I will re-up a full one without any need to mod anything



I have no idea what I should do with ppl like you... now you clicked on h818 unlock? .. oh man.. you're misleading ppl just bc of clicking stupid around.
pls never unlock.. I would be too scared about what you would do if ...



regarding serial : Read the FAQ
regarding no SIM.. well have you taken a backup with SALT as suggested in the guide?
If so flash the modem file in fastboot:

fastboot flash modem modem.bin

(or modem.img if its named like that)

Then flash just the baseband package again TWRP and try again.

Boss.. I didnt click that.. No idea how my vote got to the h818...

Update: I had gone through my chrome extensions and found an auto fill extension : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/form-filler/bnjjngeaknajbdcgpfkgnonkmififhfo?hl=en

That must have been what filled the survey... I uninstalled it so it should be ok now

it would help if you say what exact ROM you are using and what model you have

There are 2 types of ilapo fix "images" out there: TOT one and the modded boot images.
TOT -> no. read the FAQ
boot.img -> sure

When I do a nandroid backup I get "Failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy). Does this indicate a problem or can I proceed to flashing a custom rom?

yea thats a known bug in the current TWRP. I havent had the time to fix this as i was too busy with UsU..
Ensure /system is mounted in Mount menu and if so you can safely flash. if you flash a custom ROM like aoscp or similar the worst thing which can happen when flashing is that it cant flash system but you will still be able to get into fastboot, TWRP and download mode to recover

Will it work on LG G4 F500L nougat updated?

sushant_ you have to downgrade before unlocking with UsU

Hey Steadfaster, I'm wondering if my lockscreen issue has to do with the modem since the VS986 needs the full Lollipop modem and can't use the N baseband zip that you provided in the OP.

ofc it has. the modem partition contains gatekeeper stuff like the keystore libs (iirc).
I guess there will be a way nevertheless. If you like and if you have a SALT (!) basic backup then you can try this:
boot dl mode
start SALT
advanced menu -> Wipe partition -> select encrypt (only that!) -> and wipe it
reboot to Android and try again
That partition gets erased when you flash a KDZ anyways so it should be safe to delete but if something goes wrong its better to have a backup

General WARNING:
Its weekend and I will be only online via XDA app -ONLY- so dont expect much until next Tuesday.

[NummerEinsNerd]

@steadfasterX I have h812 on stock 6.0 rom

 

[doop]

Where you check the ARB?

Read point 2 in the requirements section of the OP.

[FoxyLove]

My H812 is now unlocked and I rooted it with Magisk.

I tried Nougat stock rom for ARB=0, and my device can't connect to any mobile network. So I can't call, send/receive SMS etc.

Also didn't work . Another issue that I've come across is that APN settings cannot be changed on VS986 for the Nougat roms that I've downloaded from your server. I think from what I could find on Google, that it has to do with the fact that the roms weren't built for CDMA phones (I had to delete the Assert line in updater-script to install the roms) so the configs to change APN's on CDMA phones haven't been set properly. This is a big problem because the MMS settings aren't configured properly for the Verizon APN so we are unable to receive texts on the device.

I have the same problem with my H812. I tried flashing the baseband alone and then the N modem but neither fixed it.

I think I know the problem : this rom is for LGLS991 model. I saw that on About Phone
