Hi friends,
Hopefully this will be newbie appropriate questions that are easy to answer:
1. I just bought a used ATT Lg G5 H820 (Titan I think) where the seller gave me an unlock code - I've never bought a used phone before, but it's for my son, and I don't know how to execute unlocking and what not, but I figure Google is my friend there.
2. I want to downgrade android from 7 N to 6 Marshmellow - I've been reading that there are a couple of Flash tools that can do that if I have the image - I've searched high and low and moved heaven and earth to find one that I think is bona fide without making me go through a sea of click ad traps, to no avail - my assumption is all I need are the tools and just the stock image.
So here are my questions:
A. Can anyone share a link to the image that I seek where downloading it doesn't require a ninja to do the download?
B. Do I have to use an ATT image? can I use a Tmobile H830? bad idea?
C. If I flash it down to Marshmellow with either of the images as mentioned in (B) are there negative ramifications to unlocking the phone?
Thank you in advance - I sincerely appreciate any and all advice on the matter.

1. To unlock the phone from a stock rom power off the phone and insert a sim card for another network and power it up. Phone will ask for the unlock code when it finishes booting. Since it's an ATT variant use a t mobile sim card. I'd make sure you can unlock it before you do anything else.
2. Why do you want to downgrade to marshmallow? Doesn't seem like its worth the effort. Besides you are going to have to then turn off updates or your going to get updated to nougat. If you decide to downgrade you have to downgrade to an ATT image. Using a T mobile image will most likely brick your phone. Not sure if it will be a soft or hard brick but it's not worth it.

Good idea on #1 - I wondered about that, but wasn't sure if that mattered - I did do a complete reset as soon as I got the phone, and haven't unlocked still, so I'm hoping that I didn't ruin the 'unlockability' by resetting it.
Anyway on your #2, I did a phone upgrade recently from G5 to G6, and was on Marshmellow with the G5 - there were aspects that I'm familiar with that Android version, so I want to try to downgrade - I've never experimented with the phones that I pay service on because I've always been afraid of bricking it bad, so I figure that with my sons used phone, I can tinker a bit without losing too much sleep if I mess things up.
Thank you for that great response - I sincerely appreciate it!

Hi there,
Might I ask if you have any ideas on how I can proceed to downgrade to Marshmellow? - I want to try rooting Marshmellow if I can.
This is a bit off topic, but when I was exploring this site, I found this subdomain https://depot.xda-developers.com - and I'm very interested in purchasing one of those lifetime VPN services, but wanted to get more info from the community about the VPN options, as there seemed to be many pretty low cost VPN products to choose from.
And off the top of your head, do you know of a Simcard that I can purchase with no contracts where the minutes do not expire at the end of the month, that you personally like? - it seems like there are so many GSM options for this unlocked used phone. tia
Hi guys, regards.
Recently my brother gave me his lg v10 and updated it to android 6 through LgUp, it was a big mistake ... every time I turn it on it says that the vpn has stopped, it does not let me get into security settings because it stops, I get many mistakes. my question is, can you go back to android 5? ... can someone help me with the kdz of android 5 for the h900 version? ... I can not find it anywhere ... and in the meantime I have two more queries ... unlock the bootloader but my phone does not start in fastboot mode, and probe in several ways, with the keypad, by means of commands, but there is no way to start fastboot mode, know what is the problem?
and my other query is if there is any way to root in android 6 without having the bootloader unlocked?
Thank you, sorry for so many questions, :crying:
This is a basic answer but have you tried to do a full wipe and then flash again the KDZ?

My device died when I tried to install Pie Update by HiSuite and FirmwareFinder the message says "your device has loaded a different operating system"
I tried to install stock firmware by " dload " but i failed > This release is not compatible with the current version Please install the correct version
How can I restore my phone?
please help
Anything new?
Hello! Have you ever found a way to sort it out? same situation here.. I'd even contacted DC-Unlocker team and they said there's no plan for this model anytime soon!!
Seems to me that the only way to unbrick this phone is to purchase a bootloader and an FRP unlocking codes, that's frustrating because it's ridiculously expensive!!

Hello, can you explain how to make it work? Even dload method doesn’t seem to work for me cause I get the ‘failed to install’ message (instead of saying that I’m on a different version or so)!! dload method never worked for me it’s like I had no sdcard inserted.
I would like to get a detailed tutorial since I’ve never had ‘dload’ method to work, I think I am missing something!
Thank you
Just as the title states I am hoping someone may be able to offer some assistance on a phone that I hope is not bricked. The short version of the story is I attempted to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow because I wasn't having any luck using any of the researched methods for FRP bypass for my VZ S7.
So I followed a few different tube videos and attempted the downgrade. I downloaded the following apps / files:
Odin3-v3.14.4
G930VVRS4APH1_VZW
Launched Odin and inputted the files into the specific slots (AP, BL, CP) and everything appeared to be going well until about 3/4 of the way through it. It failed to update but I forget the exact error message as this was a few weeks ago now but now when you boot the phone it wants you to use the VZ upgrade Assistant Software to help recover or restore the OS or whatever.
Not really sure where to go from here other than having a phone that doesn't work. I thought I did my "homework" and watched enough tutorials where it was going to be a smooth process but I failed. Any assistance anyone can provide at this point would be greatly appreciative and also wanted to mention that I'd definitely be willing to contribute to a Paypal account for assistance with assisting me in resolving this issue.
Thanks!

So I've been searching the whole internet yet I couldn't find any working way to root honor 7 lite NEM-L21
EMUI 5.0
Android 7
I want to do it using a Magisk
Additionally I couldn't find any way to unlock the bootloader code for my honor 7 lite
Could someone please provide the detailed step by step instruction on how to do this without breaking the phone down?
Please I beg you I badly need to root my phone without any trouble with Magisk.
Does anybody have the working TWRP file that will not break the phone and the correct version of Magicdisk and could provide the detailed way on how to do it?
It's very important for me yet for years I can't find the very detailed description and root the phone without breaking it.
I beg for you help the crucial thing is to get my bootloader code but it doesn't seem to be possible anymore? :|
I've heard many different version on which TWRP works for that device and I've heard that it's the same device that is called Huawei Honor 5C for whatever reason?
For years I manage to figure out that one of those TWRPs works but I couldn't exactly figure out which one of these won't brick the device:
1. twrp-3.0.2-0-nemo-modaco-rc1.img (This one wasn't tested by me which presumably worked)
2. twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img (This one was said not to work for other person?)
Now Im so totaly confused because I can't find the file that is presumably working nowhere on the internet anymore the second I can't even get the bootloader code for free anywhere other than some fake oferts that will hack your bank card info and clear it out of the cash and the third I only presume that "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550" version would work with that.
Can anybody help me and is 100% sure of the links and files in 2020 that won't ruin my phone?
Does anybody have any idea how to get the bootloader code WITHOUT using your credit card info for FREE?
So far I've been through hundreds of threads hundreds of posts and endless hours reading and studying it. Yet I couldn't find the working method that people would not have the problems with and I dont want to destroy my phone because it's the only one I have and I dont have the money to afford another one and I think that's the only and last place where I can ask for help.
