ok ill explain the best i can for you.
Lets say for example that the bootloader was unlocked for the flex 2, if we downgraded with the current method that I did, then youll end up with a brick BECAUSE...after the 5.1.1 update, the bootloader was also updated, but if we had an unlocked bootloader, it would be no problem because then you can get right into fastboot since the bootloader is unlocked. however the reason my flex 2 bricked was because you cant downgrade bootloaders unless there is a specific way to do so, and if its unlocked...well since mine wasnt on the flex 2, when i flashed the TOT from ZV5 OVER a ZV6 bootloader, the rest of the partitions flashed, except for the bootloader end of it because it returned a "Version on phone is currently newer than the one being flashed" and declined the flash, since ZV5 wasnt build around the ZV6 bootloader, it doesnt know how or what to boot..
thats just a simple version, going into specifics is the Devs department, but in lamen terms, thats whats going on..if we had an unlocked bootloader it wouldnt be an issue because we could flash an older bootloader without the phone rejecting it. but once root is achieved on 5.1.1 then there will be a way to restore the FLex 2, the G3 you have although it may not have an unlocked bootloader, its been out for long enough to where exploits have been discovered, but if youre referring to upgrading and downgrading on Custom Roms, thats not the same thing, its only for official TOT's and KDZs or Official LG Firmware.
it would be like trying to flash a sprint variant with a tmobile rom....its just not built for it, its like having a Ford mustang with a V6 and trying to put a V8 motor in it without changing the computer/wire harness etc. it will fit...but it just wont work.
did that help for you to understand?

Ya i understand that part... Ive dealt with bricked phones... Ive recovered all but one.... Why are some able to downgrade though... In another thread soomeones says hes gone back aand forth a couplw times... Thats why i was confused..
So there's no way to root the Sprint lg g flex 2 (ls996) once it's on 5.1.1? Because we can't downgrade right? Wish I knew this before I bought one off Swappa.

Yeah I don't regret buying the g flex 2 considering I got it for $260 on Swappa. Really happy I got top of the line hardware for this price. I'm sure root will come or maybe a way to unlock bootloader so we can downgrade.

Hey there. Do you all think that the Metro Variant of the G Stylo will receive the Marshmallow Update, now that the T-Mobile variant should be getting the update? Any thoughts? I checked the LG Open Source page and there's no sign of marshmallow for the T-Mobile variant or the Metro PCS variant, so thats also got me scratching my head a bit. Any thoughts?
I know is weird i have the t-mobile version and didnt get the update yet i double check via lg bridge on pc and it said my phone is update but im still on 5.1.1 lollipop. And some ppl on threads said they have been updated but no kdz files uploaded this is cracking me up.

I have spoken with metro tech support and they have repeatedly told me that they are waiting for T mobile to release the metro varient firmware they have said we r going to get it

Pretty simple just follow these steps from DrakenFX return2stock
Instead grabbing files for MetroPCS you grab the T-Mobile one.

I tried this last night, it did install the tmobile firmware without a problem, and it also installed a 146 meg update, but thats all it gave me, did not detect or install MM, i tried LG Bridge and what it did was detect my phone as a Metropcs version and wanted to download and install the metro Firmware.
Maybe i did something wrong who knows, lol..
keep me updated..

So let me get this straight. I have to Root my phone, via whatever method works, and then follow the instructions on that link to flash tmobile stock rom, then grab the OTA?
Cant I root and then use a program like....idk titanium back up or Rom Toolbox to flash that rom?

You can't take an OTA if your phone is already rooted. If you had not rooted, you would have had a working MM on your phone and THEN you can root after.

Followed the steps you did (at least from what you've given us.)
I downloaded an update.zip from the tmobile marshmallow update, transferred it to data/fota and ran the software installer but nothing shows up. keeps reading my system is up to date (Im using a metropcs device like you & running a tmobile stock rom as well.)

Yes you can. The LGH631 and the LGMS631 are both the same devices essentially, same exact hardware on the same exact network. I personally used the 5.1.1 T-Mobile bootstack and the returntostock zips which I flashed via TWRP after rooting. Stay stock unrooted 5.1.1 and then jump on your wireless network and wait for the update. I was able to keep my Metro apps this way.

I don't believe LG Flash tool works anymore, at least not for our phones. I was lucky enough to get Marshmallow through the OTA after reverting back to stock, but when I first got the phone back in October last year the first thing I did was try to root it and bricked it. If you download LG Bridge there's an option for "Update error recovery" on the bottom right of the software update tab and you can sideload a kdz file there.
Here is where you can get USB drivers for the Stylo.
Thank you. Just trying to get this figured out in case Draken is unable to get his zip fixed. I'm currently rooted on 5.1.1 and trying to go to marshmallow
Not a problem. Happy sideloading, but keep in mind that a kdz is a full return to stock and you'll lose everything on internal storage and you'll be setting it up like a brand new phone. Then again if you're going to root it using the guide on here you'll lose all internal storage data anyway so...
Regardless, good luck!

There is a method to flash the T-Mobile kdz file 10j and then OTA update to 10L and then to MM.
I was rooted on Lollipop/Katana ROM and did this method and am on MM/T-Mobile variant, then rooted after MM update.
LG Flash tool was used to flash the Tmo kdz 10J file (lollipop).

@DrakenFX are you still around? you dont have this phone anymore right? does that mean you wont be able to make a flashable zip of the metro mm kdz that is finally out? heres the link just in case http://www.mylgphones.com/metropcs-...receiving-android-6-0-marshmallow-update.html
just another question to anybody that might know regarding that lg up tool...i just used the lg flash tool to flash back to stock so that i would hopefully get the metro mm ota...well it worked perfectly and i was able to get back to stock just fine, but now i still havent received the ota...so im wondering, if the flash tool worked for me, can i use it to install the metro mm kdz instead of using lg up?

Hey,
LG UP is a new and easy tool from LG Official. It can flash kdz/tot/dz files.
You can use "LG flash tool 2.0.1.5 or above" to flash kdz/tot/dz files.
The LG flash tool 2014 is a tool modified by some one from Vietnam, I did not test it.
I've been on mm 6.0 and back to 5.1 .
I restored a twrp 5.1 recovery directly back from 6.0 using twrp . My boot loader
Is unlocked and I've used my own rooting
Method and flashifyed my twrp on both lp and mm. Since i'm on 5.1j with my bootloader still unlocked indicated on my
Splash screen can i safely flash the skinny rom on my metro g stylo with out a boot loop or a soft brick
Why did you go back to 5.1 if you wanted to flash the Skinny ROM?
I am going to try this Skinny debloated ROM soon. I have rooted T-Mobile Marshmallow on my MetroPCS Stylo and am missing some features that didn't flash correctly on my T-Mobile marshmallow.
I am always building stuff. I was working on a complete one click unlock Bl, Root and twrp and then another mm Rom build or two.
I always go back to my own builds cause I personalize them just for me but ran across the skinny while surfing and it caught my attention. I've been around for years and been doing this as a hobby since i retired and keeping myself busy.

Makes sense now.
Let me know how it goes when you (if) flash that Skinny debloated MM ROM.
I am curious if it works and if all the features like advanced text msgng and video calling and all the MM stuff is on it.
This rom works great so far. With the metro update and this it shouldn't take much to get both versons 6.0 mm. Sure would get custom roms going.
Thanks for your enlightenment.
Skinny Rom works great. The new MS63120B_00_0429.KDZ IS OUT. My Metropcs version phone can be set back to stock and I was wondering If using the new LG UP flasher will care that My Bootloader is UnLocked. I don"t know if it will Interfer and check its status.

thats a good question...i sure hope it doesnt matter to that tool that the bootloader is unlocked...if for some reason it did, maybe you could use lg flash tool 2014 and flash the lollipop kdz?
I went from t--mo mm to metro Loli..to get the metro mm...
I noticed that the bootloader was still unlocked after the Loli flash and kinda got concerned...
But, it never caused any probs...updated to mm metro and rooted smoothly....
I was kinda wondering if i could just wipe and flash skinny without extra caution and precautions...and then if i thought it was ( in my own opinion I'm entitled to) kinda not what i want..flash my mm metro back up...
Doesn't seem like it's been done..i could be wrong..
The drive to dev for this phone isn't as strong as i was hoping...
But, being the first android I've kept vanilla rooted with few tricks...it's not disappointing.
@Cyconumnum
Does the splashscreen still show
" unlocked bootloader "
And did you take the ota or
Flashed metro mm with lg up or the 2014 tool
I don't know what was debloated. The "Skinny" ROM itself is fine but what was taken out?

I used the flash tool to flash metro lollipop..
After that I went into fastboot to unlock the bootloader ...and it reported to be already unlocked...
It still showed "bootloader unlocked" at the top of the LG splash on the initial metro lollipop boot...
And reported it again booting the metro mm update

Sorry..the LG flash tool
I'm back on my personal juicy lp. I gotta get some new fast sd cards. I am working on another twrp for a friend in my spare time and have to hold up on roms and the total one click project. I would like to do the kdz 6.0 but i need parts .
Update; Found 16gb class 10 and worked skinny Rom, metro ota, and lg up flash tool. They both, metro ota and Lg Flash Kdz never showed skinny rom id'd. It said unknown device firmware. So bye bye skinny Rom. They both left the bootloader unlocked when finished flashing metro updates. As i stated before adb pkg and SuperSu needed updating and reinstalling for root and recovery was required. Splash screen still indicated an unlocked bootloader and loading the kdz from 5.0 kept data partition and required all out of date apps to be updated. Namely goggle playservices, adaway 311 needed (thanks guys) and xposed modules i uninstalled till I get time. Advance messageing was an Lg update not inclued in metro updates. Plenty of bloatware to lighten the load but still seemed less than skinnys bloatware. Good to be back on metro software and all the advance messaging and video calls worked. Now i DO gotta get more new sd's. Really out of parts to work with . Going to best buy to hold me over..
CHEERS ALL hope it helps you guys.
Edit; Forgot to add "Quickboot.apk" works 100% take you into all available modes.
i'm actually really content with it being on a stock rooted with various mods.....wish i could get the soft buttons to theme..that's nothing bad thou lol..
MM is a nice environment ..i wish i could install themes from cm13 .....but, as much i do ..i'm not gonna brick my phone with themes...did it before just changing the font on my F6...ha
but, it's great....makes enough sense....
my guess about the bootloader not getting changed with the ROM would be a bios type thing...i'm not toooo android savy..

I like the Stock ROM. There are several options for themes.
Layers in the Play Store
G4 Tweaksbox (requires root)
LG Apps Theme Engine (requires root)
LG SmartWorld (no root required but only available on Marshmallow T-Mobile Stylo ROM)
THIS IS ONLY FOR F510L
SO AS YOU GUYS KNOW THERE IS NO MORE LOLLIPOP KDZ FOR US,, AND V20B KDZ IS MARSHMALLOW
BEFORE WE CONTINUE JUST LET ME TELL YOU THAT THERE IS NO BUG OR PROBLEM AND H959 HAS THE SAME SPECS AND WE WILL USE
LG FLASH TOOL 2014 NOT LG UP WE WILL NOT USE LG UP BECAUSE IT WILL SAY INVALID KDZ AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TRICK IT
SO WE WILL BE USING H95910C KDZ https://mega.nz/#!ncQHiIoT!ypxWaYIigtKhzNCcArh9IBaUMbQf9oIcajJzBb5B1Ng IT IS ONLY WAY FOR US TO DOWNGRADE TO LOLLIPOP,
ANYWAY BOOT THE DEVICE TO DOWNLOAD MODE OPEN LG FLASHTOOL TYPE CDMA, PHONEMODE DIAG AND CSE FLASH
{{{WARNING NORMAL FLASH WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE,SO USE CSE, ALSO CSE FLASH WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA}}
AND WAIT IT TO BE DONE I DONT KNOW ABOUT OTHER DEVICE BUT MINE WAS VERY FAST AND ALSO
{{ WARNING DONT DISCONNECT AT 90% WAIT FOR 100% ON PC,NOT PHONE!!!}} SO YOU GOT 5.0.1 GREAT RIGHT!
{{ WARNING I DONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE THAT FLASH KDZ OF H955 OR EVEN LS996!!!!!!}} LETS CONTINUE TO ROOT
ROOT, FOR ROOT WE WILL BE USING LG ONE CLICK ROOT IT WILL WORK FOR ALL LG G FLEX 2 MODELS SO OPEN SETTING THAN FIND BUILD NUMBER AND TAP IT 7 OR 10 TIMES THEN GO DEVELOPER OPTION AND TURN USB DEBUGGING {{WARNING DONT TOUCH OTHER THINGS IF YOU ARE NOT PRO AT THIS}}
{{WARNING ONLY TESTED ON H959 5.0.1}} DOWNLOAD IT FROM https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxHZt3I9BpoZRjMwN3Uzdm1rbkk/view
AND OPEN THE PROGRAM AND WAIT FOR THE MAGIC {{WARNING WAIT FOR 100% JUST REMEMBER ALWAYS WAIT FOR 100% ON ANYTHING}}
SO YE WE GOT ROOT, ANYWAY LETS CONTINUE TO TWEAKS
TWEAKS FOR PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY WE WILL USE https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...od-ultimate-performence-blazing-fast-t3482317
AND FOR BETTER SOUND WE WILL USE XTREMEMUSIC https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-beatsaudio-e-xloud-installer-t3029951
AND WE WILL ALSO USE HIDDEN MENU OF OUR DEVICE CALL *#546368#*959# AND THEN GO SVC MENU THEN MLT THEN UNCHECK MLT
{{WARNING UNCHECK MLT NOT USB DEBUGGING!!!!}} THIS WILL IMPROVE OUR BOOT SPEED AND BATTERY AND MAKE SURE THAT ASSHOLES FROM LG WONT SPY ON US!
FOR WHO IS WONDERING WE WILL USE FLASHFIRE TO FLASH ZIPS AND WE WILL USE 5.0.1 BECUASE IT IS FULL SYSTEM NOT UPDATE LIKE 5.1.1
, YE 5.1.1 KDZ OF H959 MAY WORK I DIDNT TESTED IT BY MY SELF ANYWAY BUT I AM SURE IT WILL HARD BRICK AND ANOTHER REASON OF USING 5.0.1 IS 100% ROOT
I WILL ADD HERE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK AND TWRP AND LG G6 ROM HERE VERY SOON
SO ANYWAY WISH YOU GUYS LUCK
Hi. If you are making the INSANE and BEAUTIFUL things to our great device, PLEASE could you do for H955 too? Cause I am fed up with LG's Marshmallow S***. I can't buy an F510l to have the priority to install and follow your threads files, but PLEASE make bootloader unlock, twrp and the LG G6 rom for H955 too. Succes!!!!!!!!

And also i had 5.0.1 and root. I know the procedure. I am known with things.
ruseiulian https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h955-firmwares/ download from there kdz 10e is 5.0.1. 15c is 5.1.1
Flash 5.0.1 and use of one click root and u can use tweaks that is in this form but on disabling instead of *#546368#*959# you have to use *#546368#*955#
I know. I already have 5.0.1, and root too. And i know about MLT since i had an LG G2. I have disabled it on my flex 2. I want to know if your LG G6 rom, when you launch it, i will be able to flash it on h955. If its compatible with h955. And sorry for my bad post. Bootloader unlock and twrp already made for h955.... so the main thing is the LG G6 ROM )
I will make LG g6 Rom only when there will be new method twrp and the bootloader will be fully unlocked and working
Because I don't want other people's device to hard brick or even soft brick also the I will be making special kernel in the g6 Rom so I need 100% guaranty that unlocked boot loader won't brick the device
Ok man. Thanks for answer... I wait until you will finish the rom.. Succes!!!!
Hey I want to know My devices is F510L on Lollipop 5.0.1 If i flash kdz H955 will it boot ?
read better i said no problem
All thing will work just do as i described and you will get 5.0.1 with better performance and sound with root
after every boot it comes a message that's mean about error what about it
Unlock bootloader and twrp are on progress right?
