File works fine in LGUP. Don't ask me how to install or use it - there's plenty of that already on the forums.
If you use this to upgrade from a lower version, you may get hard bricked if you attempt to then downgrade again in the future. I know for a fact that you cannot downgrade past ZVD, but I do not know if they also incremented the bootloader in any versions between ZVD and ZVI. So I would only recommend upgrading if you know for a fact that you will never want to downgrade. And maybe someone else will be able to chime in on whether you can downgrade from this version.
Happy flashing!

If anyone wants just the system.img (for making custom ROMs or extracting bits and pieces), you can find it here. It's untested as I don't own a G4 anymore, but at the very least, don't flash it if you're not already on ZVI.
For anyone who wants to extract the system.img themselves, just download and compile LGBinExtractor, point it towards your TOT, confirm that it's a valid TOT, accept all the prompts, and wait. The tool doesn't fully recognize G4 TOTs and won't automatically name the dumped partitions, but the system.img is usually the largest (around 4.3GiB) and last one dumped.
Oh man I wish I knew how to use the img file to update mellowmallow! I hate that I'm stuck using an older ROM just because I want to keep wifi tether option! I see no way to maintain the free wifi tether hack if I upgrade to ZVI, if anyone knows a way?

Can You? I need ZVI unlocked.
I bought a new G4 with ZVI (locked) installed. I want to downgrade to ZVA, ZVB or ZV5,6... So that I could install a custom rom bcz there is no way to enable APN settings in it. How can I do that, any help?

This is for both of you downgrade is not possible and root is even farther If you have to have root Pick a different device.
Is ZVI still Marshmallow? or is it Nougat? Is there official Nougat for Sprint G4?

Didn't someone post that they were able to do use the LG G5 sprint unlock method posted ..........for their LG G4 sprint on ZVD ? They said it worked until they took an update.
I know ZVF can be downgraded to ZVD. So if ZVI can be downgraded to ZVD (not sure), then maybe that is a possible working unlock with ability to edit/add apn.
So the first question is if ZVI can be downgraded to ZVD.

Hello,
my moto voice stopped working and even a factory reset didnt help. So I unlocked my bootloader and everything from the Rom I downloaded. I got an error upon flashing the modem, but the script sadly still deleted modemst1 and 2. Everythng works now, except the phone is now Brasilian and I have no signal whatsoever. My Moto is a XT1092 if it helps. Help would be much appreciated
Indeed yo may killed to modem/radio, probably your carrie does not support the same bands as the retail brazil carrier. Which carrier are you?, all gsm bands still may work unless you have CDMA.

Im currently using o2 germany. Just got off the phone with the Repair company and they said if i have root or unlocked bootloader its fubar and they wont repair it. WTF....i found brazil or us stock firmwares, but no german one...
I doubt it is broken. But it may not work until you find a stock original ROM to flash. Maybe you should look for a UK or FR ROM , I believe there is only one ROM for xt1092, not a specific German one. It might be called EU ROM, but I haven't searched for it.

The Build that was running on it before definitely ended in DE. But I will keep searching for it. Do you think I should send it to a repari center and risk paying a lot of money, or should I just wait until a German Rom is released somewhere? I mean, Android L at least should fix it right up again.
Because you are not stock you won't be able to update it to lollipop... For the repair center you are the only one to be able to answer that question

I am stock, I actually managed to get my TWRP Backup back on the phone, so im on a German Rom again. Still, the modem doesnt work, as TWRP doest back that up.
I see... You have to find a stock radio and to flash it again.
I think someone with unlocked bootloader can probably extract it for you?

Yes exactly. I do not know how someone can extract the radio though...
I hope, Android L will flash a new modem. If that would be the case, my problem would be solved
Yes but again: if your modem not stock then no android L for you.

I know that, but I guess there will be someone who can grab the OTA and i can flash it manually
Good guess you're right. But I suggest you to ask someone with a xt1092 and an unlocked bootloader to extract radio for you, ask it in the dev section.

No, but there's a chance that the tools you buy access to might be able to extract that unlock code...no guarantee...no refunds...

You need the build number and security patch date.
Pretty much all EMUI 8 builds on the Mate 9 run a 4.4.23+ kernel, even up through the latest security patches.
Once you know the build number, find it in Firmware Finder, and find the build for that region that enables GPU Turbo. If it's an older build, then it's likely that you could use the official rollback firmware to get the bootloader unlocked.

Yup, .375 is the latest one that's good, after that .377 had GPU Turbo and issues with downgrading.
so im good to downgrade? i will message you when i get the phone in a few days thanks

You won't get into the trouble that others did with .377 or later, yes.
But there's no guarantee everything works nicely.
Do read as much as possible before doing anything.
Also keep in mind that Android 9 is coming soon so maybe you don't need to unlock and whatnot.

ZVI has ARB has higher then 2 so no unlock .
ZVI is MM and there is no exploit for MM available .

Thanks for confirming this... Damn Sprint.
Some phones can be rooted without bootloader unlock. So locked bootloader does not necessarily mean that it can't be rooted. But I guess there is no known exploit to root LG G4 LS991 on ZVI?

Sprint is one of the carriers that doesn't publish their KDZ. So to get sprint 10 you'd have to find in one of the threads where someone backed up their 10 version and you could flash their backup. But be aware there are some partitions that people mistakenly backup that have their imei and s/n in them. U don't want to restore those partitions or you'll lose your imei etc.
But, why do u want sprint firmware on your phone? You're in Bangladesh, there is no Sprint there? I'd look at cross flashing to a different rom, usually you'd want one of the 'Open' versions, that has the bands that you need. If u decide to do that, look in the cross flashing threads for how to accomplish that.
