Hi,
I have some problems with flashing google factory image using toolkit.
I tried 4.3 and 4.4.2. During flash proces - bootloader - i get
"An Error Occured".
My bootlaoder version is 4.23
Best thing to do is learn to use fastboot. It's really easy once you actually get doing it.
And it's a far better way to learn what exactly you are doing to your phone. Toolkits don't teach anything.
Here's a guide to help you out.

Good luck!!
Thanks. But I solved this problem changing bootloader in factory image. All seems to work fine .

Hi guys
after 5.1.1 update there is no root for it , root only by install pre-rooted rom
so i think if we change the kernel to 5.0 kernel and root it by kingroot it will success !
anyone try it ?*
if anyone can try it this is the kernel.ftf files
for C6602*https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz4K0UTIzVb9UWE4bDYxM0FnTDQ/view?usp=docslist_api

Sorry, it creates a boot-loop. It doesn't work.
But it's not kernel related. It's 5.1.1 new Fw so u need to wait for working root solution. Anyway, don't try install 5.0 kernel in 5.1 bcoz IMO it's stupid (no offence)

nobody is forcing you to do this method!
Its only unlocked briefly and then relocked again, you can do whatever you like, I'm just suggesting the easiest way. at this point in time,
when you restore the TA partition bootloader is relocked read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

actually if you're going to downgrade to a rootable version anyways, you don't need to unlock the bootloader at all.
1- downgrade to 5.02
2-root
3-install recovery
4- download a pre-rooted rom or from ftf make your own with prfcreator (make sure to fix recovery or install the latest beta).
5- now you have a rooted 5.1.1 with recovery with locked bootloader.
prf creator is great!
But in my experience, you should flash the recovery.zip and supersu.zip manually after the main.zip, but before rebooting, just to be safe!
OP - already knew about prerooted roms.
Hello everyone, i want to share my pre-rooted. ROM, downloaded with XperiFirm and created with PRFCreator.(v1.3)
Inside:
- SuperSU SystemMode 2.71
- RecRoot V2 with fixed busybox= TWRP 3.0.2 Recovery, ByeSELinux, RIC Defeat, SuperSU 2.71 in System Mode
- Xperia OnOff widget from KK
Requirements:
- Z3 Compact [D5803] with Locked or Unlocked Bootloader
- Root and Recovery
- ROM version not important
Installation:
1. copy flashable package to your device
2. Enter recovery, TWRP perefered
3. Flash it
4. a) If You coming from MM BETA - Wipe | Dalvik Cache Recommend, but not required!
4. b) If You coming from KK/LP - Factory Reset Recommend, but not required!
5. Reboot
HOW TO ENTER TWRP:
To enter recovery after its installation you have two options:
- Vol down key just after green led / vibration
- Create a blank boot file at /cache/recovery/ folder and reboot

Btw there's a little typo

Same problem here. Both my own zip (created and prerooted with PRFCreator) and this zip didn't give root, don't know what's wrong.
Found a solution: flash prerooted zip, then SuperSU, then byeselinux, then RICDefeat. If you flash everything in this exact order, you will get root and /system rw remount.

Oh I looked into updater.script and still doesnt know why it happened
Maybe we need to add RecRoot to ExtraFiles? Or just flash it after flashable rom without any other files?
And 1 question, After flashing my pre-rooted, Was there a OnOff widget from KitKat? @Buleste @inspiron2

What about log? Any errors or something?, because i still not flashed this Only created for people if someone wanted.
No errors. No indication anything went wrong. All boots well. I may have a plan once I reflash my phone though.
EDIT: Okay. I've managed to get root access installing SuperSU 2.68 as the SuperSU in PRF and adding ByeSELINUX and Ricdefeat. Tried adding Busybox but doesn't seem to want to work. I will explore further.
EDIT2: Found the problem. System not R/W and will not let me change to W/R as I have no busy box. More thinking needed.
I was installed successfully. Thanks!!!

If u read carefully, you flashed rom and immediately the "fix" right? If yes then press vol- button when phone is booting and green led lights up.

Good thinking with the fix. I should've done that. Instead I've figured out that for whatever reason PrfCreator only adds one flashable zip and SuperSU so I have added Ricdefeat, BusyBox and xposed afterwards before rebooting. If that works then I'll add recovery.

We must search also, to keep`problem off, if people is coming from lp or a bad mm installation. As prfcreator also thats not make a wipe system we have to make a wipe system prior to flash the preroot to avoid a lp recovery that probably is giving some problems. So the thing to avoid problems should be to flash the preroot in a good working recovery, as many people on mm had a rw system mount problems from the beginning. cheers

You have cross posted in two topics, however you cant get rid of it and you need to select one. I went with Russia my language was still in English as I had it set however if it changes for you then you can always go into the settings and change it. You can also use XperiaFirm to find another regions rom and download and flash it instead.

Using Root Explorer make system to rw and then uninstall apps using Titanium Backup.
It seems I made a mistake.
I tried to dirty flash without factory reset. Flashing and first boot without issues, everything running as expected BUT recovery seems missing. I cannot enter recovery mode, I even tried to use a couple of apps (Power Menu, Flashify) to enter recovery but I always boot the normal way.
Maybe this is because I skipped the factory reset step? How can I reinstall the recovery?
Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone. These are the steps I've made to fully delete bloatware in the LG G4 H815.
My software version is: V20h-EUR-XX
First, you need to make a system backup in TWRP. You don't need to install the recovery, you can just boot onto it. To boot from TWRP recovery, do the next:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img
where twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img is the TWRP's image downloaded from: https://dl.twrp.me/h815/twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img.html
When you're in TWRP recovery, make a system backup (I assume you know how. It's pretty straightforward).
TWRP recovery will make a backup creating a set of files inside a directory of internal or external memory. The system backup files must start with "system" word and probably continue with ".ext4.win???", where "???" is a number sequence (i.e: 000, 001, 002, so on).
These files are just .tar files. If you didn't select compress the backup, then they can be opened directly with 7-zip. Inside every "system.ext4.win???", are the structure of android system itself. Using 7-zip, you can open a backup file to delete bloatware.
Copy all the "system.ext4.x" to pc. Using 7-zip, check every one of them and look for apps you don't want. Select those apps and just delete them, as simple as that. 7-zip will re-structure the backup file.
NOTE: I've tried to put files inside the backup file but 7-zip crashed.
Once you've deleted all crap, you must copy back to phone, all the modified backup files. Put them in the same directory as the original.
The "system.info" file is not need. It is only used to inform you in the restore process how is going on. You can open it with a text editor and change the backup_size. This value is the size of all "system.ext4.x" files.
Once again, restart into TWRP recovery (explained below) and make a restore.
It works flawlessly for me.
Any help you need, just scream out.

if you gonna go through the trouble of unlocking your bootloader you might as well root your device.

I think you can load TWRP without unlock bootloader. I'm not sure right now but I think I've saw a way a few month ago.

But isn't fastboot protected from single boot unsigned images either? If not we can actually root all marshmallow G4s as it would be as simple as reflashing kernel every reboot which sounds awesome

It is not about backdoor. Locked bootloader doesn't allow to boot to TWRP. I tried booting from rooted system.img using Linux to integrate,. I can use only rooted system.img but it will never allow to use root in data or other partitions. So system will be partially rooted not fully. H815 users have to unlock bootloader to use root fully fuctional.
For the damn of LG, I am still waiting for unlocking bootloader of my model (H815TR)

Indeed its not a backdoor. If you have unlocked bootloader you can flash anything you want. Either signed or not, you can also boot such images as you're doing. You are right as you can delete system apps without having rooted phone but I think you didn't mention you have unlocked your bootloader I'm also waiting for some exploit to root locked G4 even if I can unlock mine, but I want to do it after Nougat, so still some months left [emoji14]
