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

You will have trouble. An OTA update needs an untouched system partition, that means no root or deleted files, unroot isn't enough... So I reccomend you to convert back to stock firmware or convert again to gpe but then, dont root or change recovery.. Just wait...
Use this guide to restore to stock firmware.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/guide-restore-moto-firmware-gpe-t2914884

After flashing stock firmware or converting to gpe, you dont have to root or change recovery... If you leave all stock, everything will be ok!!

If you also have stock recovery, you won't have any problem. Heard that you can receive the OTA using any other recovery without touching system files, but if you are not going to change anything, nor flashing another rom until lollipop's arrive, I recommend you flashing stock recovery

Great! thanks a lot. I have stock recovery, I just converted to GPE but left the stock recovery. Then, I will impatiently waiting for Lollipop!
As we All know we are going to get Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA in coming days and for OTA stock recovery is necessary.
Downloading whole firmware just for stock recovery is not worthy that's why I'm sharing stock recovery of Asian variant(XT1033 including India).
LINK:-
Stock recovery(Here)

Waiting so anxiously for Lollipop
BUT, flashing the ENTIRE firmware to OTA your device is a MUST.
OTA will fail if your device was rooted then unrooted because system partition was modified by root.. So, for the update to succesfully work, you have to flash entire firmware (including stock recovery), like it or not, to have an untouched system partition.
Flashing only stock recovery again is not enough, it will make no difference, OTA will fail.
So, this thread is kinda useless if you think about it...

Flashing Stock recovery alone wont work... I tried flashing the stock recovery alone for upgrading to 4.4.4.. but it didn't work..... We need to flash the whole firmware again for successful upgrade..
But it's good if somebody else want to find official recovery

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?
I am currently on zv7 rooted (sprint)
what's the easiest way or if not, proper way, to go to zv 9 rooted?
do I have to go back to zv6 stock and update to 9, then root?
or can I flash a zv 9 rooted image over it?
please advise
well found the answer, not sure how to delete topic
You can't delete it. Why don't you share how you did it in case someone else is wondering the same thing.
okay I grabbed the stock image from here (im on zv7)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089
then I went to this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/lg-g-flex-2-ls996-zv6-sprint-5-1-1-t3169212
that post is actually to root, but all you do is instead of flashing a rooted image, flash the stock image instead
after that, I let it get the OTA updates until I was zv9 (latest)
then I went back to that thread and did the same thing, except this time flash the rooted zv9 image
it was way more simpler than I thought. No reset needed and no data was lost
Also, how can I tell what were the previous versions of Android that my phone had (STOCK)?
For example: there were several 5.1.1 versions or 5.0. versions - how do I know which one do I need?
Thanks.
The easiest way to have a routed rom would be to flash a stock rom from Google, flash twrp, and flash supersu from twrp.

Sorry if I didn't explain myself - my phone is rooted and I have a custom ROM. What I want to do is to go back to stock ROM but keep it rooted.
Thanks.
Flash a stock rom, then just root the stock rom. There is no other way unless you flash a stock pre-rooted rom.

So you can't keep it rooted while flashing stock?
And how do you know which versions are for your phone (if I don't want to go back to the latest Marshmallow for example)?
You can only keep root when flashing stock if you find a prerooted stock image.
Google search for nexus factory images.

Yes, I know that I need to Google for factory image, but there are several images with the same release. For example, there are three 5.1.1. (LMY48B, LMY48I and LMY48M). Same with 6.0.0. and 4 X 6.0.1 version. How do you know which one is for my device?
Thanks.
Any stock image for hammerhead will work on a hammerhead device. The reason it will delete root is you will have to flash system, and unless the system image you flash is prerooted, no more root.

Just trying to understand that difference between the different versions, or are these simply system updates, from XXX29K to XXX29S for example?
Changes in the android version 5.0->5.1->6.0 are fairly large system updates. Within 5.1.1 they are security patches.
If you have a rooted phone and talk about flashing, you should know this. Else you are a menace to your phone...
Root is a system modification - if you delete or reinstall the System partition, you'll lose root. But re-root is easy.
I recommend to read tutorials and get some knowledge before trying to root, flash or before asking those questions, where Senior xda-members just shake their heads.
The simple way to do what you seem to want is to back up all your important stuff (photos, etc.), install MMB29V (the latest March 1st 6.0.1 security version), install TWRP 3.0.0.0, and from TWRP flash SuperSU v2.70. It will take slightly longer than it's taken me to type this, but not much...
After that, when a new monthly security version comes out, flash system.img, boot.img & radio.img, and repeat the TWRP & SuperSU steps. No data loss.
