Had to restore my phone earlier today and was able to grab the KDZ file for the latest nougat update for the LG-M470 model. Roaming around noticed some people had said the original file/firmware wasn't out yet but I guess they are now.
Download for anyone who wants it:

Thanks techboy11 for the kdz file. Do you or anyone know how to extract the stock recovery from this? I would like to apply the OTA security updates, but it only works with the stock recovery and I currently have the TWRP recovery.
Thanks,
Johnny

I've seen the low-effort root instructions for the G4 running 10G. I have an AT&T (H810) G4 running 10I. Is it possible for me to root at this point, or is it still being developed? Is there a way to roll back to 10G so I can use the low-effort method?

Next time search around a little..
I downloaded the .img file from the link you mentioned now how do I flash it. All the methods i've found for flashng .img files require root already or are specific to older build numbers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Download rasher app from play store n flash .img
Thanks for the reply. Rasher says it requires root. This .img is to gain root aaccess and is currently the only root option. I'll try rasher when i get home but im not hopeful. What would be the common method to flash this .img to an unrooted stock LG G4 with h81010i firmware. Thanks.
Rasher was a fail. How do people normally install a .img file?
I got the phone from eBay and it has been rooted when it came out of the package. However, I failed to activate it to Sprint. The Sprint customer service representative told me to flash the original stock ROM. The current rooted software version is ZV6. I downloaded the ZV5.tot file and ZV6.img file from this forum, however I don't know how to flash them.
It seems tot file is from LG and the img file is from 3rd party, so I prefer to use tot file. However, someone in this forum said you would brick your device if you flash different version. Maybe to flash img file is safer.
Any helps will be appreciated.
Do not flash that phone with the TOT file. You will hard brick it!! Follow this guide to flash back the stock system.img, but make sure you flash the correct version! You MUST flash version ZV6. Once you flash the stock image, you can reflash with the rooted image. Although I can't see the rooted image keeping you from authenticating with Sprint... seems to work fine for me. But I would give reflashing ZV6 system.img a try. Should work fine. (I have done this process many times with no issues)
I feel a little stupid asking this but it's been quite a while since I actually flashed an img.
Basically my question is, can I just flash a system.img instead of using ota updates?
I know I can use LG up to downgrade my firmware with a kdz but I haven't seen a kdz for the latest firmwares.

Yes You can flash system image but not messed up versions of it. Which version and which model You have?
I have h955, whenever I wipe I go back to 10B and just OTA update to 15C.
It takes about 90 mins to update and restore my apps, flashing a system.img will cut that time in half.
hello i have lg flex 2 sprint it was on 5.0.1 ZV4 i just tried to root it by flash ZV6 root system through dd command
after flash the rootsystem image the phone reboot to lg logo with security error then it go down and black screen i still can enter download mode..
please any body can help me to restore stock rom maybe im on zv6 rooted system
I've never even heard of a ZV4 for the Flex 2, I thought we started with ZV5 originally when the phone was released in mid-2015, guess I just missed that one entirely if it does exist.
If you can enter download mode (you said you can) then I strongly suggest you flash the ZV8 TOT file found in the link provided in this instructional post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593
Since we don't have a KDZ or TOT for ZV9 or even the latest ZVB firmware you have to flash those manually (not using the LG Flash Tool but the Send_Command.exe thing along with dd while the system img file is on the internal storage of the device.
I guess my one question would be: why haven't you updated when new firmware has become available, or did you just get this Flex 2 recently and it had ZV4 on it and you just never bothered.
If you do this right you can get everything working in under 30 minutes, and have even rooted ZVB ready to go (there's a rooted ZVB system img available now too, search the threads and you'll find the link to download it).
Be careful, read all the instructions, take your time, and good luck.
thank you very much for your help but I want tell you that I cant get the storage because the phone cant startup it just bootloop on security error so I cant put anything on the storage how I can transfer the file to storage
or can I flash it through lg flash tool?
I bought this phone from ebay and it come with zv4 I think who has it didn't do any updates
I had soneone ask me is it possible to update to the latest firmware and keep root. I know we cant do it via OTA or use lgup to flash it in. Since we have twrp is there a way we can install a newer firmware to the v20 insted of being stuck between 10B to 13A as those are the firmware that can be rooted
One phone had it possible but i know Android above 6.0 are picky when it comes to a modded boot image my lg g3 was on 10B and someone made image files of the stock rom to be flashed via twrp of course it was kitkay that this was done from 10B to 12B
Crap didn't realize i was on the wrong thread mebt to post it in the questions section sorry for that
