Well, in case you are left with a bricked LG G4, here is how you can restore it back to functionality by flashing a custom ROM that is now available. Of course, you will need to have a TWRP recovery, which we think you already have but if not, just see the guide below for links to download and install TWRP recovery. Know that this unbrick guide is compatible only with LG G4, model no. H815, which is the only device currently supported by LG for bootloader unlock, and is not compatible any other variant of the device.

The LG G4 unbrick method we’ve covered here really easy one, you don’t even need a PC, as you just have to flash one custom ROM from the recovery, and the device shall reboot all fine. yes, this will fix bootloop that you may be getting on your device currently. Credit for the custom ROM goes to well known developer DocRambone, thanks a lot!

One of the possible reasons you unbricked your LG G4 could be due to xposed framework installation which is right now fully compatible with the LG G4, particularly the ARM 64-bit version. Or, you could have played a bit immaturely with system file, because root access is now available too.

Anyway, check out the download links below to unbrick and restore your LG G4.
