I've seen the low-effort root instructions for the G4 running 10G. I have an AT&T (H810) G4 running 10I. Is it possible for me to root at this point, or is it still being developed? Is there a way to roll back to 10G so I can use the low-effort method?

Next time search around a little..
I downloaded the .img file from the link you mentioned now how do I flash it. All the methods i've found for flashng .img files require root already or are specific to older build numbers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Download rasher app from play store n flash .img
Thanks for the reply. Rasher says it requires root. This .img is to gain root aaccess and is currently the only root option. I'll try rasher when i get home but im not hopeful. What would be the common method to flash this .img to an unrooted stock LG G4 with h81010i firmware. Thanks.
Rasher was a fail. How do people normally install a .img file?

In case anyone needs it, here is a clean system.img from the 10e firmware, courtesy of phineous
https://www.mediafire.com/?0g4mkg2b2mcifzb
This is not pre-rooted and should only be flashed if you are already on the 10e firmware. Do not flash this if you are on 10g as it will likely result in a soft brick.
Directions for flashing are in the general g4 > original dev > codefire root thread.
The aforementioned thread for convenience.
Thanks for this.
I have searched but have not came across a root version of 10e. Is there one?

Here's the post with the root script for injecting root into the images. I'm sure the script works fine, but I couldn't get it to run on the system I set up. It's probably a permission issue that I don't have right, but I'm too busy to figure it out now.
Anyone have a 10g stock system image? I want to update to the 10i update then try making a prerooted version of it but didn't make a backup of the 10g system before I rooted. Looking for the AT&T system image.

I support this endeavor and I too would like a copy of 10g system img.
You can find one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3190714

Hey guys. Need a little help. I'm on 10g and rooted but wanna go back to stock and live without root so I can get OTA. What's the best way to do this? Thank you!
Edit...never mind...I hit the link in the post above mine and all is clear now. Thanks!
i need a stock rom or rooted rom i can flash onto my phone. mines H81022d... any ideas how i can root and flash it? i tried all ways to root except flashing but i have no rom tot of the version i need
I've been hearing mixed responses, so I wanted to see if anyone knew what I should do to root my phone. I just purchased it used with 20f on lollipop installed, and I'm trying to root it. Are there any methods available now? If so, could you please link me? Thanks!
I wanted to to tinker around. However, on my first try, this worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
use towelroot to root then flash twrp recovery and flash any rom
I got the phone from eBay and it has been rooted when it came out of the package. However, I failed to activate it to Sprint. The Sprint customer service representative told me to flash the original stock ROM. The current rooted software version is ZV6. I downloaded the ZV5.tot file and ZV6.img file from this forum, however I don't know how to flash them.
It seems tot file is from LG and the img file is from 3rd party, so I prefer to use tot file. However, someone in this forum said you would brick your device if you flash different version. Maybe to flash img file is safer.
Any helps will be appreciated.
Do not flash that phone with the TOT file. You will hard brick it!! Follow this guide to flash back the stock system.img, but make sure you flash the correct version! You MUST flash version ZV6. Once you flash the stock image, you can reflash with the rooted image. Although I can't see the rooted image keeping you from authenticating with Sprint... seems to work fine for me. But I would give reflashing ZV6 system.img a try. Should work fine. (I have done this process many times with no issues)
Apparently all the methods of rooting this phone are for 5.0.1, ZV7/ZV8s. I can't find a single working method of rooting this... and of course without root, getting this to work on GSM is impossible.
agggh

Had to restore my phone earlier today and was able to grab the KDZ file for the latest nougat update for the LG-M470 model. Roaming around noticed some people had said the original file/firmware wasn't out yet but I guess they are now.
Download for anyone who wants it:

Thanks techboy11 for the kdz file. Do you or anyone know how to extract the stock recovery from this? I would like to apply the OTA security updates, but it only works with the stock recovery and I currently have the TWRP recovery.
Thanks,
Johnny
