Need help downgrading. - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hello. I'm kinda a noob (i admit).
I'm going to root my G5 and by reading the threads i figured out that i have to downgrade to 20a in order to root my phone ( im running on 20c currently).
Do i have to downgrade? If yes, how?
I know i have to use "LG Up" but i couldn't find a good place for downloading the 20a flashable zip.
Thanks.

Yes, you must downgrade to 20A to root and install TWRP.
Here's the link for 20A:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20a-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3511294
Download the 20A kdz from that link and install using LG UP. Once you're running 20A, use the following link to install TWRP and root:

Hello,
and sorry in advance for stupid questions. But my phone is H830i network locked. If I root it will I be able to use it in any networks?

nope. it will stay locked. best way is to have it unlocked by TMO or some 3rd party unlocking services. Mine is sim locked too.

[Q] is this official lollipop update?

Hello on turning my phone on this morning I am prompted with this (screenshot below) and I'm skeptical about installing it as I love 4.4.2 if I install and do not like can I come back to 4.4.2? Is this lollipop?
Yes that is a Lollipop update. The clue is at V20C.
I'm assuming yours is D838? From which country?
Are you using some mods for the data speed and temperature on notification bar?
Don't worry, you will still be able go back to 4.4.2 by using the KDZ or TOT method

Yes D838 TWN model there is a screenshot if you need anymore info, and yes network speed indicator, CPU temperatur and CPU voltage in the top left as I like seeing what's happening at any given moment, the phone is stock rooted and the mods are through exposed, if I update to lollipop will I loose root? And also my mods? I would like to update but I would really dis-like not having root or my mods as they make my phone just how I like it would feel very bare without them.

A few notices:
- The root will be lost if you upgrade to Lollipop.
- Currently, Xposed Framework does not work on Lollipop.

Thank you I've just had a read and should be fine returning to 4.4.2 if I'm unhappy.
Yes this is what I suspected I hoped I would be able to gain root but I did assume exposed would not work thank you anyway for your helpfulnes! I will install later on and give opinion on how it feels and runs, I will miss root and exposed.

You may get root on Lollipop by flashing zip files (rom and SuperSU) from 4.4 recovery, more information at: http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/rom-d83820c_twn_pure.37488/ . I did this way and got root on my D838 Lollipop device

Currently, Xposed Framework does not support any Lollipop devices, even you have got root.

What provider are you with?
If it's a Fido phone, there is a KDZ available
Do you have 5.1 or 5.0 on fido ? With videotron, we're stuck a 5.0 and it's full of bug and very laggy.

5.1.1 is available, but I haven't updated. I am not able to attain root and don't wish to make it harder with an update. Otherwise, the system runs stable at 5.0.2
I have 5.0.2 and don't notice many bugs if any. Battery life is excellent l, 2-3 days if not used much.
I have a fido lg Stylo h636 and want to update too but I've rooted with king root. What a mistake because now I can't update. Any fix for this?

Use this link, but replace "IMEI" with your imei. You can get it by dialing *#06#. This should give you a link to a kdz file

doesn't matter which version you have the KDZ method (which is not mine btw ) will still work but in this case i don't know if v10K is actually a better update than v10i.

I would LOVE if someone could actually upload the STOCK AT&T LG G3 Marshmallow tot/kdz. I paid off my G3 and now I am stuck on Lollipop, thanks AT&T
Does someone have the stock kernel (boot.img/bin, whatever) for D850 marshmallow?
You can get it by temporary rooting your devie with kingroot and backing up the kernel with flashify
Thanks
I'm also seeking the same. Very surprised no one has uploaded it yet considering it's been out forever.
Willing to put up $15 for a rooted, AT&T D850 CLEAN STOCK. Anyone else?

I agree with your comment
+1 Would love to have the OEM marshmallow rom so the camera will work correctly. Always had weird issues with CM13 and other ROMs. Can't get it since I'm on a tmobile sim card.
any updates on marshmallow stock ????
Just root, custom recovery and install fulmics rom. That carries same MM stock base with thr bloatware removed. Not a single issue on my D850 so far

Have you guys tried Tekcafe v3.5?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-tekcafe-rom-3-5-stock-ux4-v30g-t3507411
Ok, i have had enough searching. Im gonna return my g3 to complete stock and try to update it to marshmellow, root it, and compile it to a flashable rom.
Update:-----
I cant upgrade my g3 due to my v10 sim card not being the same one my g3 requires. Ill continue though to scout for a stock mm rom.
I have stock mm on my phone right now (d850), what do I need to do to get what you request? I cannot find a root method for this version/phone anywhere. King root does not work on d850

Rollback H830 20i to 20a?

Can I downgrade from h830 20i to 20a?
I have the same question as you. Do you have the answer?
Yes, you can rollback from 20i to 20a. You have to flash the 20a kdz from Autoprime's 20a thread using LG UP.
