noob question

Hey guys, im sorry to start a thread. Ive looked everywhere for a solution but i cant find one. I rooted my phone yesterday and even managed to install some new roms. One of those rooms seems to have disabled my market completely. I was not happy with the recovery program i initially installed, so i unrooted back to 1.5 again. I did not think that my market would be disabled after the sapp.nbh, but it is. I want to re-root it, but i can not download a manager off the market. Is there anything I can do? or am i stuck with 1.5 forever. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
that definitely should not have happened
must have been a problem with the rom
I've been running rooted roms since last summer without any problems
What message is the market giving you when you try to open it up? Maybe there is something wrong with the sign in. One thing that you can try though is a different sappimg file to unroot it back to 1.5.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Need Help From Heimdall Users

Hello everyone ,
Im a long time iPhone user and am now getting into android a little bit. I bought a Verizon Galaxy s3 and rooted it. I then downloaded and flashed a custom rom directly from my phone. I installed it and when it rebooted I was stuck on "system software not authorized by verizon wireless" screen. I later found out it was because my bootloader was not unlocked. I have a mac so im trying to use Heimdall to return to stock firmware and retry but I honestly do not know enough about flashing and do not want to brick this phone.
I am hoping someone can help me using heimdall. I have read for 2 days I just am not familiar enough with the lingo yet coming from the apple side. I always help people when jailbreaking so Im hoping that karma is on my side and I can get some guidance lol.
I am also not against paying for this help I just want to learn the right way to do this without bricking my phone.
Thanks guys,
Brandon

Explanation: LG V10: Reasons why I vanished:

Some time ago, in the middle of the night I woke up to see my V10 bootlooping, and it was next to almost stock. and I never mess with my v10 cause my htc10 is my daily Driver....
after talking to T-Mobile and and then LG, I got LG to pay for everything including shipping. because my device was babied to death, it was like mint condition, so instead of making me wait for a new board
and so on, They sent me a whole new V10, that was manufactured only a few months prior, which came with updated everything.. So to make a long story short. I have no ROOT.. and no way to get ROOT..
I have Android N on my device...........
Now if I ever figure out how to get root again, I will then pick up where I left off on this device.................
I am one of the owners of the new Project that I personally started some time ago, called PureFusionOS..... we are on 5 devices. officially on HTC10 and OP3 and OP5................
and some how a mediatek device which I still cant figure out how he did that........
anyhow.. With my new found knowledge of ROMs and so on, I am sure of I ever get this device rooted again, I can get a custom rom working on this device with Camera working.........
my knowlege with camera has increased much do to the fact of the issues I went through on the HTC10 to get 4k recording working.........
But will any of this truely happen, as I said, it all depends on if I get ROOT again on this device........... I am running 100% stock Android N ....................
But I wanted to let you know what happen to me.. and why I havent been able to do anything.........................
I do have some ideas on getting root, but I highly doubt they will work.. What I prob need is a rooted TOT file with latest ROM.........
What are the options of downgrading? Acquiring root and then updating?

It is bnot possible to downgrade from Nougat to MM on rhe H901, i've tried and it does'nt work. The bootloader can be unlocked but that is as far as it goes at the moment. As stated by Eliminator there is no root yet for this phone.

Hi i'm new to the V10 h901 game, i have been reading a lot lately this forum ,can you explain more the situation? what Eliminator is saying means no twrp of the ones posted here will work for the H901 in nougat?, mine came with Mashmallow but i flashed Nougat with lg bridge before reading, i guess im stuck now? i unlocked the bootloader today hoping to flash one of those recoveries but "fastboot boot twrp.img" didnt work so i didnt flashed it hoping to get more information on the subject here.
So I was on a rooted MM Rom, maybe even yours, and used this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3638750 to update to N and kept root. Are there any files I could pull from mine that would help?

Not a single thing.. Problem is my device came back with N already on it.. so there is no way to ROOT it at this time.. and its not really high on my list to worry about it.
if I dont root it, no big deal......
No root for N so far. I soft bricked my device, and the only way to get it back was with LG Bridge, and now I'm stuck with stock N firmware. So, we need to hope and wait for someone clever than us to find a way to root V10 with stock N.
If it helps, we can trade devices. Mine is on the latest, rooted and I am going to sell mine. Not much extra value in selling a rooted device. So pm me and we can cross ship. Your device for mine. I'll sell yours on swappa....and you have a rooted device to Dev for the community moving forward. It would be awesome if you could put your new OS on the V10

I would be down for a swap. Yes, please!
I got the terrible Green Screen Of Death. My replacement came Nougat out of the box. Sadness.
What do you recommend? Should I make a post here? In General thread? At Swappa? Ebay?
Well this seemed really promising and then ironically the person I suspected would drop either a LineageOS build (which I would love, just plain old LineageOS with no major changes or frills for the V10, second screen I don't even give a damn about really, a kernel with a lot of governor support/options would be great too, and here's a Nougat from the factory device he can't even work with, great.
And with nobody really giving a damn about the V10 overall we are probably just going to be stuck at this point from now on, sadly.
Maybe we'll get a small miracle at some point, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thank you, Eliminater74, for at least letting the community know you're still around and might still be able to provide some magic if things work out.
Try modified LG up as a path to downgrade.... I'm on nougat flashed with TWRP so I never went through the steps to modify LG up. I really think it can work to get back down to 6.0 use dirtycow get TWRP then install the nougat update zip..... I know another person interested in the root of the 7.0 locked firmware going back to 6 had pointed in this direction.....
