Root Telus Rogers Koodo LG G4 H812 by downgrading from Marshmallow to LollyPop

There is  no root available for LG G4 H812 Marshmallow (MM) devices now, but root is available for LollyPop (LP). The strategy here is to downgrade to LP from MM and root the device. You need to disable the OTA updates, since the root will be lost if you upgrade.

1. Download stock KDZ from https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
   1. I downloaded "H81210n_00_1204STOCKkdz". All carriers are cross compatible (Bell, Rogers, Telus, Wind)
   2. If you have downloaded 10n kdz, you should download 10n rooted image. I downloaded "H81210nROOTEDrogers.rar"
2. Downgrade from Marshmallow to LP https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
   1. TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, select "Upgrade", click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a full wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient 
      
      If you are worried about losing your data after a full wipe, why not use the LG Bridge software to backup and restore.... it works fine!

Lenovo Thinkpad T410 audio through displayport

Getting audio to pass through to TV when using displayport to HDMI cable

DisplayPort is actually capable of tranmitting audio and video. However some manufacturers or OEMs do not implement the audio pass through, luckily Lenovo has implemented this correctly in their Thinkpad T410.
