First of all, forgive me if this question exists, but I wasn't able to find it anywhere.
I stupidly took the OTA for lollipop as stated in the title and would like to downgrade in the hopes of helping to achieve root for this device. I was not able to find the firmware anywhere, so, if someone can point me in the direction of what route to take, it would be greatly appreciated. If it doesn't exist anywhere, how could I go about either getting the files created or downgrading?
Thank you in advance.
Hi, i use lenovo A6000, i want Update OTA after unrooting. But why i found this folder after unrooting :

I'm searching here and didn't found a post which wold resume everything and don't want to mess up all this.
This thread is to not mess everything up cause I've read the unbrick and all those stories.
1. Want to root
2. Want to use this post to find hidden files > Internal Memory Data Recovery
3. Want to unroot and restore to factory default for me to get to ota update to 5.1.1
Haven't got the update cause this is a at&t phone and Im outside the USA. So I want to be able to unroot so when I go to the states or when someone comes with a at&t sim with service Ill get the ota and stay factory.
Also haven't root cuz I think I need to do an image or a backup of my original system before rooting so I can unroot? So I don't want to start before I got everything clear.
Also will be reaading this post to know more about this tool. Easy Restore, Unroot
All views and no reply??? Help !!! stuck in this decisions.
Any1? Really?
Ok the root I have managed now! The next question is what is the correct sequence for the installation of a clean Firmware without Verizon Bloat? I have download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/rom-droid-mini-maxx-ultra-lte-fw-6-7-3-t3262555
Firmware but i dont know the install procedure., please Insiders help me with this!
I have to ask because I'm not a Android insider and with many abbreviations used in posts here'm not familiar
Or I may as well install Lollipop after I have the root successfully performed ??
I am completely new in this topic therefore ask this, everyone has to start sometime and is new and inexperienced in a theme.

Unless you have an unlocked bootloader I don't see how you will install Lollipop as I still haven't seen an official update to it. If you do have an unlocked bootloader your root would be super simple though.

In the link you provided, the installation instructions are there (but you have to click to show content).
Can you not find the instructions or which step in the instructions are you stuck at?
Plus, you would be in the "for Loked device" section.
We really need to know where exactly you are stuck. A few of us have done this already and are more than willing to help
Hi. I'm trying to get a smartphone for the first time.
I got an used and locked G Flex 2 LS996 to use at Ringplus out of my ignorance. I didn't know they have to be unlocked even if it's a Sprint phone for Sprint MVNO. I used this guide to root zv9. Following this sim-unlock guide seems to require downgrading to zv6, so now I'm at this guide.
But when I use LGUP, it says the version is 'LS996ZV4' even though what's installed is zv9, and trying to upgrade using linked file, LS991ZV6_12_ARB02.tot, results in error, 'Error: TOT file is invalid[1]'.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
I'm thinking of trying unroot zv9 -> downgrade to zv6 -> root zv6 -> unlock. Will it be safe? And I couldn't find unroot guide for zv9. Is it the same as zv6-8?
I made the back to stock guide its in general. You didnt look enough for it. You shouldnt downgrade to any version it will brick your device. ZV9 is unlockable just replace the files. I used the ones of G4 LS991. :good:

I saw your post for stock image files http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089, but I don't know how to do it. I tried LGUP, but it says I have zv4 when I have zv9. Upgrading to zv6 fails, as well. Did you mean another post?

This guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/general/guide-sim-unlock-t3229801 says I need to downgrade, so that's what I was trying. It's not safe?

By the way, if I get this phone unlocked following these guides, will I be able to use it on Ringplus? Will checking its MEID show clean financial check?
My guide explicitly says "USE EACH VERSION WITH ITSELF DO NOT DOWNGRADE OR YOU WILL BRICK".
If you followed rooting guide. Its the same process to go back to stock flashing just the system image with dd command. Dont follow all the lg g4 unlock guide all you need is to download the files and replace them. Use root explorer if you do it with the normal file explorer you wont find anything. And last im not in US territory so I dont know if it will work for ringplus.
Ok. Since two guides say different things about downgrading, I thought going from root to unroot has to be same version but downgrading from stock to stock was fine. Perhaps I got misinformation leading me to believe LG version of Android for its latest phones are the same.
Thank you for your input. I'll try later again and see what happens.

LS991 Sprint G4 could ve downgraded from ZV6 to ZV5. But not sprint LS996 Flex2.
Actually they root just like us with full system images. I had the G4 and I rooted it the same way we do.
Hello all,
I also have the ZV4 firmware for a sprint phone, what should i do to get the phone unlocked and on 5.1.1 ?
