Flashing OTA from ZV4

I just got a new G4 from Sprint that oddly enough is still on ZV4. However, I do want to update it to either zv5 or zv6 and not to zv9, the ota it is currently prompting me to install. Is there any way to do so? Thanks in advance.

I have all the files and everything is setup to flash ZV5 with the TOT. I just need clarification as to whether or not it is safe to do this. I've tried searching but haven't found anything concrete.

This should work as most problems occur when you decide to downgrade. Like how you can't downgrade to ZV5 if you're on ZV6 or ZV9 but going from ZV4 to ZV5 shouldn't be a problem!

Thanks for the clarification. I went ahead and upgraded using the TOT for ZV5 without a hitch, rooted and sim unlocked it successfully as well. I just could not find anything that made me confident the TOT could be used to upgrade. I knew it could be used to restore if you were already on the version corresponding to the TOT, and I didn't want to risk bricking this awesome phone. Now I know TOT's can be used to upgrade.

Need help... My phone has no internet after ZV6 its has 3 month stuck no internet.. My question, Its safe if downgrade from ZV6 to ZV4 ?
Many thanks

Can the sprint lg g4 be rooted on the latest firmware?

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.

Update to 20o from rooted 20i

Hello. I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked and twrp installed lg g4 h811 20i. I want to know if i can use the official ota method to upgrade to 20o safely? Will it cause bootloop or brick? Coz my phone is rooted.
Do i need to flash stock unrooted kdz and then upgrade or i can just use the ota method safely?

from 20i to 20o ota or dirty flash will give you camera problems and no sound.... the best way is ...
download 20o KDZ then use LGUP. using the refurbished option so it wipes everything.. once you are on 20o then preoceed to.... install twrp and root.... there a guide in the rom seccion.. also flashing 20o will put you on antirollback V3 so you cant downgrade or youll brick phone... if you want freddom to go from LP to MM stay on 20i MM and could downgrade to 10n LP.

I think ill wait for nougat or an update which fixes this huge ram consumption.
Btw is there any way to set the grid of the lg g4 default launcher to 3x4? I cant seem to find the settings for it.
