Thanks to this whole phone slowdown and DIE/bootloop fiasco, I've had to get a replacement G4 from AT&T through warranty. They sent me a 506 with 6.0 installed... so kind.
Anyway, I have no intention on using an unrooted Android again. I've heard that one can downgrade the G4 from 6.0 back to 5.1 or Lollipop period but no one has actually said HOW. Could someone help? I already have my old H81010o stock image file if that'll help.
Here's how I did mine the other. However, I'm not sure what an mine is. Its a U.S. AT&T h810 that came with H81020n.

Hello, a friend of mine, bless his heart, took all the updates from AT&T for his HTC One X. Now it has the dreaded 5.18.502.1 firmware that can't be rolled back (or can it?). He recently got a new phone and I would like to buy his off of him, but if it's not able to be rooted, I will likely decline. So I was wondering, is ANYONE working on a root for this, or does anyone know of anybody who is? If it's in process, I might still buy it and suck it up for a few months until it becomes publicly available, so I would like to know. I would like to get off of my Huawei Sonic on Cyanogen 7.2, since no further updates are available for it and probably never will be (for the price, it's a great phone once rooted and flashed with a Benru89's ROM). Thanks!

There is no root method available for the latest 5.18 firmware. It cannot be rolled back without s-off, which would first require an unlocked bootloader and root, such would first need a root method. I doubt whether a hack for this latest software like firmware is being worked on or will be released. It might happen, but I certainly wouldn't hold your breathe.

Hello I know there's a lot of update posts and what not but Id rather not fudge up my phone.
I bought the US GSM variant from Moto, I converted it into a GPE awhile ago. Will I get the OTA like a normal GPE or am I gonna have to do it manually? Also am I still a XT1032?
Thank you for any info or help....much appreciated
Also I am NOT rooted but do have unlocked bootloader

Hi, I bought last month a LG G3 D850 from AT&T, I'm from Argentina.
I must say that I'm very disappointed about this phone by the way, the extraction of the FM chip is really anoying.
But I have it, and for a year maybe I must use it.
The problem is that AT&T only update Android if you have a SIM Card from AT&T, and in Argentina AT&T doesn't exist.
I rooted the phone and try Cyanogem (the graphics are really poor and the performance is poorer) and Cloudy G3 (that has A LOT of bugs and problems with the system).
So I ask you, if you can help me, the official AT&T Room of Lollipop. I prefer a lot of AT&T programs (that can be uninstalled) that have a rom that crash every 5 minutes.
I apreciate your help a lot.

You can follow my LG G3 back to stock guide and use the tot method. But there's no lollipop. You'd be stuck with kitkat, as OTA doesn't work. There's no official D850 lollipop tot and probably never will be. You'd have to flash KitKat. And hope OTA might some how work or try manually downloading the OTA after rooting the fresh install of kitkat.

That's a shame.
But anyway, it's secure to come back to kitkat? Or there's a chance of broke the phone without a chance of recoverying it?
Can you put the link of the guide?
Thank you!

There will always be a way. . Just like ever since it first came out. It's just very doubtful that a stock lollipop will come out.
It's not easy to link when mobile but here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53452990
Also just googling LG G3 back to stock that guide is the first one.

If you are OK with keeping root and TWRP, there are in fact stock ATT lollipop roms that you can use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041 - Stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3059610 - Same stock ATT 5.0.1 ROM but with most ATT apps removed
Thank you very much!!!!!
So I recently bought a brand new, unlocked AT&T D850. Right now it's running version 4.4.2 and I know Lollipop is out there already, yet trying to update OTA tells me I'm on the latest software, as does trying to update on the PC Suite. The LG Support Tool doesn't list the AT&T D850 on the phone options for some reason.
Is there anything I can do here? Is something wrong because I'm on Tmobile using an ATT phone?

It will ONLY update if you have an active AT&T sim in it. Or unless you use a custom rom.

Ah...what I was thinking...
Thanks.

Boost is billing the neutered version of the LG G Stylo as the Stylo 2. And if you have already updated to 6.0 there is no current way to root or rollback to 5.1.1.

I'm currently living in México. It just came out last weekend. It came already with M 6.0.1. I'm guessing that I will have to wait for a while. Thanks for getting back to me.

Theres hardly any ROMs for the original Stylo so who knows. Seems we got left behind.

I think Nemo is confused. As was said earlier there Stylo 2 just came out. It came with 6.0.1 The G Stylo came with 5.1.1 and could be up or down graded as you saw fit and if you were willing to do the work of restoring kHz's etc.
These value phones seem to get left behind quite a lot. I think the G Stylo only had ...2 custom roms? Both Lollipop. When the 2 came out I jumped on it. This far nothing really can be done to it. People are working on root, and I've been doing my own searching for it. It looks to be a sleight ways away tho. Just be patient and enjoy the phone as it it. It's still pretty good

Actually I am not. Now there is a real Stylo 2 but Boost marketed a cut down version of the Stylo with 1gig of Ram and an 8gig rom as the Stylo 2 at the time of the previous post. And once you had 6.0 on it any tampering beyond basic file maintenance popped some form of tamper seal that made your phone brick with a 1003 error. So no you could not roll back because Boost never released a kdz and with a tamper proof bootloader we could not generate one. The T-Mobile and Metro version could be unlocked, rooted, and romed. That one had 2 gigs of ram and a 16gig rom. So no not confused you are just late to the party. (Also I owned the phone op and I were speaking of, hard to be 'confused' when starin at it.') The one you are speaking of was just released this month to the prepaid markets.
Sad to read no rom for the LG stylo 2
yup, it's 2017 and still literally nothing. guess this phone is "left out" and no one seems to have this phone to experiment on it and root it.
