My LG G4 (TMobile h811 10n) is rooted running stock ROM. I want to update to MM and try it out but I'm not sure if I could just install the update over the ROM. Will doing this brick my phone? Is there a way to unroot the phone and then install the update, or can I just do a factory reset? I don't mind losing root either so if I have to then thats fine.

You don't have to accept an OTA to be on 10N.
If you are rooted and have TWRP, you can go here and follow the easy instructions to flash 10N over 10H:

If you are currently on rooted 10H and you just don't want to keep root and want to return to 10H full stock and just be able to accept an OTA 10N update, you'll need to flash back to unrooted full stock 10H. Follow the instructions here:

I'm on 4.4.2 ls995zvb I rooted with stump root but my phone is saying it isn't rooted, how can I go back to stock 4.4.2 and reroot and what should I use to reroot.. I don't wanna brick my phone as it's the only phone I have till my upgrade
The downgrade wont be necessary.
I inadvertently UNrooted my LS995 by allowing the ota from ZVA to ZVB. Got it rerooted with this:

Don't worry that it says for G3 and such...it worked for me fine. Just follow the directions that come with it.
You'll need custom recovery. TWRP 2.8.5.0 is latest recommended for this phone. Use Flashify from PlayStore to flash JUST THE .IMG FILE, NOT THE WHOLE ZIP.
These methods got my Flex back on track with being rooted with custom recovery, and updating to ZVB.
Hope it helps...
Peace,

So that didnt work i need to go back to stock android how can i do this thankz in advance.
I don't own a LG g4 but my buddies does and he isn't experienced with rooting/unlocking phones and has a LG g4, and was saying "there was a root method but it got patched before he could try it."
If there is a way to do it could you please link me to it?
Thanks
Are you sure he wasn't referring to the ZV6 root? Currently you can't root anything above ZV6. If you have ZVA or earlier, you can use LGUP or whatever it's called to revert back to ZV6, then root.
If your phone is patched to ZVB, which is the current version, then you cannot root, and also you cannot roll back to ZVA to perform a root, and are stuck. The only option for ZVB is to install the mellowmallow ROM.
It's been a year since I rooted and updated my h811. I'm currently on 10N, and I would like to update to 20o (i think I'm correct). I don't want to lose root, twrp, and xposed. Any faster method would be great. I forgot how to dirty flash and clean flash using twrp. So any advice would be great - if possible. By the way, when I update, do I have to go through the process to remove carrier IQ again?

no dirty flash as it gives camera and sound problems.. the best way is.. to download KDZ 20o file and flash it using LGUP.. also 20o its V3 and 20i and 10n are V2 antirollback .. so once in 20o thers no way to downgrade...it bricks phone
Recently i was looking for way to disable 2 cores on friends LG G4 and i found tutorial on youtube in witch is explanation how to downgrade from android 6.0 to 5.1:
"If you are on Android Marshmallow (6.0), not Lollipop (5.1), you will have to perform a downgrade (factory reset) first prior to flashing ILAPO fix, using the above mentioned LGUP app - instead of ticking "Upgrade" box, click the "Refurbish" box."
So my question is did someone tried this method to downgrade from ZVB and is it safe to try it myself - will LGUP just refuse to flash my LS991 or it will brick it if this doesn't work?
Let's bump this. I'd love to get rid of this damn MM crap.

I would not try it. You run risking bricking your phone. I read the tutorial. I think there are 2 problems.
Correct me if I am wrong, but.........
1) I think ILAPO fix may not be compatible to the sprint variant.......at least the spring model LS991 is not included on the compatibility list.
2) The tutorial says if you are on MM 6, you need to first downgrade, by getting the proper Stock KDZ or TOT, then flashing lollipop ..........which is not possible on ZVB.
The "REFURB" option is for applying a STOCK rom, not the ILAPO fix
