Hi guy, Is that possible to Downgrade from ZVB to ZV6 using LG Flash tool, Board DL ?

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
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.
LS991 ZV9 to ZV6 Downgrade Possible ?
is it safe .. ..... i dont want a brick on my hands ,
Not had to do it but from what i read yes it is as long as you dont go no lower no zv5. And dont go to zvb
So as the title suggests, I lost my files, root, xposed, everything.
When I first got my phone it was on like ZV5 or something, whichever one you could dd an image after injecting root. This one came loaded with ZVC, so I'm unable to stay on the easily rooted version obviously. Am I basically stuck now? Or is there a way to root ZVB after rolling back (as I understand it, trying to roll back further results in hard brick) ?

You cannot downgrade past ZVB on the LS991. You can flash ZVB, but nothing earlier. ZVB and ZVC has anti-rollback, and if it sees anything older than ZVB it will brick.

... Yeah. That's not what I was asking. I know (as I said) that I can't roll back past ZVB. I was asking if ZVB can be rooted if I roll back to it, or if I'm stuck with unrooted ZVC because LG decided to update my phone without asking?

You cannot root your phone. There is no root for it on ZVB or ZVC.
Installing LG Bridge right now
I'm rooted on 20i, do I have to pdate to 20o and then 20p? Can I just skip right to it? Then how do I get TWRP/Root?

I recommend to use LGUP and download 20p kdz. No need to go to 20o.
Note 20o and w0p are v3 antirollback so you cant downgradeto no lower then 20o..
Using LGUP once kdz file its unzipped . find it using upgrade option. Once selected 20p file close LGUP the select refurbished and flash .
I recommend turbos drakonis.rom
