Root only required if you don't use a computer.Trust me I have used it to backup my apps+data on my rooted tab 2 to restore it on my g4.Very easy and fast.
aha okay I will give it a try when I get home, thanks!
No problem,make sure you enable the option to backup data for big games/apps in case you have some.
What android version does the G4 come when i buy it?
Also, how is your experience with it, any good? I'm a note user.

One last thing,
What is the purpose of rooting, flashing custom roms etc.. What is the gain, what sort of features will be added?
And which one of those features are you personally using after you rooted your phone now?

Mine came with 5.1.With custom roms you get no bloatware(faster+better battery life)plus stock android and with root you gain lots of customization capabilities and special apps(hacking and cheating and stuff).I haven't installed a custom rom yet because current software has everything I need and fast.
You get also Titanium backup, Advertising block apps, sound quality and volume boosting using Dolby or Viper4android...

Root is great. If you root your device and install Xposed, you don't even need custom ROMs. You can mod anything in the phone with this. However, it really depends what kind of person you are. Personally when I used Android I only rooted and played around with devices that I don't use on a daily basis. I like my daily driver to be as stable as possible.

I bought the LG G4 ystrd....and its awesome o.o
Got the black leather with that circle cover...for 375$
Ohh and i got the Corsair strafe keyboard for 150$...which basically made me get the G4 haha :p
Great Deal, the phone is barely 10months old since its first release
Mabrouk! Is that price with warranty? It's around 50$ less at Amhaz. Either way, enjoy your new device the G4 is a great phone, I'd pick it over the G5.

Ah!You just made a big mistake!!The G4 has a flaw in the hardware,and the company actually announced it,just google "lg g4 bootloop".What it is is,after a couple of months,it shuts down and wont boot at all(gets stuck in lg logo and restarts),that's what happened with mine :/
Most people say G4s with serial number starting with 505-510 are affected,but now there's some with 600+(after the company have discovered the issue)are getting affected.
So I recommend you to sell it,or stick with it if it's a 600+and take the risk.If you don't believe me,go to lg g4 reddit and check the bootloop reports.
Oh and the company in Lebanon charge you for the fix(like 80$,that's what they told me but I still haven't received it yet,they had it for 16 days so far!!) even if you have warranty.

Oops.
So theres a whole thread here about the LG G4 and now you tell me that?!
We;; yeah its serial number is 601 so i guess i am gonna take the risk
Thanks for informing me, oh and my phone i would never shut it down lol
Unless i need to restart it for something , i hve been told same thing about the Galaxy S2 back in the days, and nothing ever happened to it and i used it for 4 years, of course i was using a custom ROM , cyanogenmod. I even updated to Marshmallow, before it died. and now got the G4
I got the Golden 18 months warrant :|

Anyways,backup occasionally just in case.

does a hard reset fix bootloop issue?
dav wrotedoes a hard reset fix bootloop issue?
Nope,you gotta change the motherboard;
Couple of weeks ago,after a month of waiting,LG told me that there's currently no motherboards and sent the phone back.
I'm going to call them today to see if they got the motherboards.
What a shitty company...
Edit:Still no boards...

I called once 1273....a woman from AMAN replied haha
My G4 just died, it got stuck in bootloop, I was able to backup my data using the Freezing technic.

The phone was bought from ksa i need to check if it still under warranty to get it fix or else in the bin.

I don't know how easy to get a new motherboard to replace and what would guarrantee the replaced ship won't get stuck in bootloop.

If you know how much will cost a new G4 motherboard, please post the price and how you got it.
