So I used a 5.1 root method on this forum but can seem to undo it. I was waiting on updating to 6.0 but it seems I won't be able to unless I remove the root. Im stuck .
Did you root it manually yourself or just flash the rooted system img from 6th_Hokage? If you flashed the rooted system image, you should be able to flash the stock system img right back to the device and be 'stock' once more but I could be wrong on that.
If you manually rooted it with some other method I can't say for sure about an unroot - I just got one of these Boost Stylos yesterday so my experience with this model is limited. I had the MetroPCS model a few weeks ago and was able to do a bit more with that one I suppose.

Sorry, I already posted this in the main G3 forum and am not sure how to remove that one, seems more appropriate here.
I would like to install a custom rom but I am wondering if any of the unlock methods work after installing the latest ATT OTA update (which was forced to my phone) D85010f. If so could you pleas provide a link/steps? I'm tech savvy but a recent iPhone convert so this is new to me. Thanks!
I believe you can still use stump root to root, and then bump will work after that. If not there are instructions around here somewhere to downgrade back to 10d, and then you can root and bump, then install the prerooted 10f ROM.

Are there any methods on unroot the LG G2 mini d618 variant? I've been looking on the internet and the forums for methods, i've managed to look on some but i doubted it.. I got one link but im not sure of it... http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-unroot-android-devices-manually/
and i also got a thread in the forums on LG RCT forgets that your phone is rooted... but i think its only for the d620r variant of the phone, and i doubt it will work on the d618...

How about checking out how to flash the stock firmware to your phone via computer? Either just flash the latest firmware if available or flash the latest available firmware and then perform the OTA update. Of course you could try to unroot your phone first.

i actually found a way to flash the stock firmware of the g2 mini but im unsure if this method can totally unroot the phone... (its bcuz LG's stupid RCT that is built in their phones which does really suck in my part)
this is so i can get the files to make a system.img to restore one that has a security error
More information will be helpful in helping you. Phone bricked, just security error, won't boot etc? What did you do, steps you've done to get the problem.

Oh okay, could you not get the .kdz file extract it and get the files needed?
There's no KDZ available for the Cricket G Stylo.

If you replace the KingRoot with super su and up date the binaries after restart you will be bricked on the Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo (H634).

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:

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 ?
Yesterday I got an LG G3 D850 (AT&T Model), and the first thig I verify was the software version to begin with the rooting, recovery flashing, moding, you know all the cool stuff we found on XDA.
But for my surprise this phone had official Marshmallow (OTA updated) and without root acces or a custom recovery on it, so I said @&%#$ this @&%$# because I knew this wasnt good news.
So after calming down I started looking for a root method but Oneclick Root fail, kingo root fail, King root actually root the phone but after a restart the root acces was gone, I keep looking for a permanent root method but found none, Instead I found some tutorials showing how to make the Kingroot acces permanent but they used their custom recovery to flash an img that do this AAAAND I didnt had nothing.
Then I found this tutorial http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-locked-bootloader-bump-xdatv/ it shows how to flash the TWRP recovery, using flashify and a custom TWRP img for each LG G3 models, the only requirement was HAVE ROOT ACCES.
I had root acces but temporarily and the tutorial didnt mention anything about Marshmallow, sooooo at my own risk I flashed the recovery img with flashify, the app ask me to reboot, I cross my fingers and VUALA! I got a beutiful error message saying "BOOT VERIFICATION FAILED" spiced with blue and red ligths blinking, I grabbed a cigarrete and went outside and thik how to use my new paperweight.
Buut! I took the battery out and turn the phone on and it still boots, but the recovery was ruined, I kept trying flashing the recovery without succes. I was losing hoppe at that moment and as a last resort I thought in downgrading the phone but everywhere I looked at was a warning message saying "Only for D855" "Only for D855" Do not try to downgrade from MM on other models, I saw others used Lollipop AUTOREC on Marshmallow and briked the phone.
I was a horrible view, but after hours looking for the solution I took the risk of downgrading using Lg Flash tool and an old kit kat TOT for the D850 I had. And now I will explain what I did step by step.
First of all you will need:
LG flash tool 1.8.6.527: http://download833.mediafire.com/vyey6xwovvpg/dp93tvcbf4kqvup/LGFlashTool_1.8.6.527.rar

Now fallow this tutorial using the DLL and TOT we downloaded : http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Now you have Kit Kat, and from here you can use kingroot to root the phone and now we can finally intall TWRP using the bump tutorial, this time will work perfectly:

And you don't need to install kingroot either to install twrp on the d850
So to clarify, can LGUP be used to downgrade the AT&T LG G3 (D850) from marshmallow even though in that original post it says for the D855 only?
Because I tried the other method with no success. I also tried a suggestion someone else has given elsewhere about using kingroot to root, then using a paid playstore app called supersume to overwrite kinguser. It failed because as stated root doesn't survive reboot and the process was dependent on rebooting.
Thanks for all the info guys.

LGUP is the only way you can downgrade or flash firmwares once your MM. I've stated this in my threads tons of times. I really do need to edit that part to take D855 only out lol.
It only said D855 only as the D850 couldn't be detected at that time.

I was losing hoppe at that moment and as a last resort I thought in downgrading the phone but everywhere I looked at was a warning message saying "Only for D855" "Only for D855" Do not try to downgrade from MM on other models, I saw others used Lollipop AUTOREC on Marshmallow and briked the phone.
I was a horrible view, but after hours looking for the solution I took the risk of downgrading using Lg Flash tool and an old kit kat TOT for the D850 I had. And now I will explain what I did step by step.
First of all you will need:
LG flash tool 1.8.6.527: http://download833.mediafire.com/vyey6xwovvpg/dp93tvcbf4kqvup/LGFlashTool_1.8.6.527.rar
LG D850 STOCK KIT KAT: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2FAT%26T+D850%2F
LGUP8974.DLL: (Say thank you to him)

Now fallow this tutorial using the DLL and TOT we downloaded : http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Now you have Kit Kat, and from here you can use kingroot to root the phone and now we can finally intall TWRP using the bump tutorial, this time will work perfectly:

I know this thread is about downgrading but how do you update from 5.0 to 6.0 ?..I'm using an unlocked d850 outside the US .

The same way.. But there is no firmware file due to it being tot only. Only way sadly is to OTA update with an AT&T prepaid or H2O sim card in the device.

I was confused about that D855 line too. Were you able to downgrade your D855 from Marshmallow to KitKat?

Yes. It went without a hitch. Downgraded, rooted, flashed TWRP, and resurrection remix.

Ah, good to hear. I just realized I had a typo in my first comment. You were running a D850, right?
