There are apps that I desperately need that won't work correctly on Android versions above Lollipop. Is there any way I can downgrade from Nougat to at least Lollipop?
No
You can only downgrade to versions that had a version for this phone. G5+ is a Nougat phone, so you can't go below that.

root has nothing to do with downgrading
if you need a phone with lollipop buy a nexus 4
Lol, tell me where are you going to get a Lollipop ROM for a device that ootb has nougat

Ahhh all for the sake of xposed am I right
Why did you buy a phone that runs nougat, but need to run MM?
Buy an older Nexus or something!
Even the older Samsung's (S4) were pretty awesome before Samsung started locking bootloader's and murdering Android with TouchWiz

Well, I looked around and thought this looked pretty promising:

I was thinking about getting an older phone but I was forced to get a newer phone from Best Buy as a graduation "present".
1) buy phone A
2) return phone A later
3) buy other phone online with the money...

Since I don't have a PC rn (I'll get one ASAP) I need to use Limbo and a couple other emulators to run (albeit slowly) some old PC software. It worked on my Oppo Find 7, but this phone doesn't run anything other than Windows 95 because of emulator compatibility issues with Android Nougat. Even Damn Small Linux crashes on boot with Bochs for Android.
So, if I understand this correctly....
The G5+ sucks because a 3rd party developer hasn't updated their own app, because you want to run 22 year old software on a completely different architecture, and it doesn't work pristine 100% of the time?
This is why this phone sucks?
Why don't you have your parents buy you a computer instead of a cell phone then?

Nooo, my phone is great, I just don't like the Android version. And FYI, it runs Win95 fine, but I need it to run NEWER software (still a bit old) like my OPPO Find 7 could.
I won't ask my parents to get me a PC because, one, they wouldn't get me one for some bullcrap reasons, and two, they always get me really bad PCs that crash all the time, and I'd rather just save up for my own PC.

Possibly new update spotted on PTCRB with
Build Number: 10.7.A.0.228
Xperia Z
Xperia ZL
As the Build Number suggests it'll still be lollipop, with all the latest stragefright fixes(maybe). And probably will be the final update in what has been a very long journey of updates.
What do you think guys?
Probably like you said it's just stragefright fixes or even just custom version for region or operator.
I would not expect any changes that actually would matter for us. Probably there gonna be "fixes" in changelog but like always it's gonna be just updated sony/google apps.
It has been released.

Well it depends on kernel support for the xzr, and how long it will take is a mystery
I highly doubt we will get Marshmallow. Hell, the Nexus 4 phone, which is practically my ZR where it matters, has not gotten MM officially from big bad Google, i highly doubt Sony would release it. It has been almost a miracle to get the grandfather Z lines to LP anyway.
I wouldn't refuse an update to MM if it ever happens though
sony will not release official MM update for ancient XZ.they have stated that Z2 onward will get offical MM.
So... how do we root this? I'm on Canadian phone and it seems like I'm left in the dark... bought this thinking I could play around with it rooted, but this does not seem the case

Yah, but my phone model is actually C6616. and LOCKED bootloader.
I really feel like this device has been abandoned by XDA devs... which strikes me as incredibly odd, seeing as how its still relevant as a higherMid-end device as far as specs go.
I had a phone from 2011 with half a gig of ram running ****ing Jellybean because it had good support, but I can totally see how that might be an anomoly
Having said that, I haven't explored the Dev forums much at all since I can't even get root without the piece of **** kingroot, let alone unlock my bootloader for some kernels. But it looks like Doom is gone, and he's the only one to my knowledge that catered to C6616.
Furthermore... I am afraid to do *anything* to my phone that even *RISKS* any bricking, since the C6616 evidently has basically zero support around here, so if I did brick, maybe I would just be ****ed. and Im a poor poor student in Canada, so a new phone is not possible. This is my horse and I want to train it. But it looks like I'm not allowed any risk.
I've rooted 5 other phones and gone through hundreds of roms and kernels, so I've learned how things work. But this is ALso my first Sony phone... and I've never had to deal with a locked bootloader.
P.S. the battery sucks I want a better kernel. If you can name anyone who might help I will totally start inboxing them with big hearts and kisses
A kernel doesn't help much. I use zombie and it has really nice features, but batterylife is pretty much the same.
For installing a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader, which you obviosly can't. Rooting won't change this

You could try to search for wakelocks etc. and disable unneeded stuff. Though this needs root. You could try to create a pre rooted rom, which you need to flash via recovery. To get a recovery you'll need to downgrade to a version which was easy to root, like 4.3. There are guides here on XDA.

LL roms doesn't match to custom kernels good , because of heating control methods
better to root your phone with "King root" (an android app ) very simple and without any risk of loosing your phone abilities
every thing you asked from custom kernels can find as apps ,you just need to looking for that

and sure enough there's a new firmware when I checked LG Bridge.
No OTA notification for me yet though

Absolutely no interest in Marshmallow unless we finally get a bootloader unlock for the TWN variant.
Absolutely love my G4, but I have no respect for their decision to simply ignore the wishes of developers/people who want to use their phone how THEY want.
Poor form LG, poor form indeed.
Weirdly it was there Last night on my netbook but it refused to Work as it didn't have enough ram available. Today on Work computer it said no update available! Looks like they pulled it again
And when I tried again just there now again it's gone! Update withdrawn: AGAIN!
is there any KDZ available that we could flash using LGUP?

Same! I absolutely love my G4 but bcoz of this ridiculous decision of theirs I will never buy another one and will steer everyone I know away from them. The way they are carrying on you would think they were worried everyone in the world wants to unlock their bootloaders but it's only enthusiasts and devs, the very people they should be making happy as it's us that spreads word of mouth recommendations. Which is the best form of marketing. I updated to MM bcoz I've totally lost faith in LG and got sick of waiting for either them to have a change of heart or devs to come up with a solution (which LG will probably try and thwart). I'm joining the Nexus army!
i see the update available in mac versions of lg bridge but not the pc version. it goes through the whole download process and then the update fails on two separate macs. pretty frustrating.

Man don't even bother flashing marshmallow onto your phone. It's not what you think it is. I did flash using LGUP and what a mistake it was too flash the marshmallow kdz. You only get half the screen on time compared to lollipop. So hold of until they sort the issues out

Thank you for your advice.
It's much more smoother and no bugs that I encounter so far, a few days needed for doze mode to kick in. I highly recommend it, you won't regret.
I do think if they pulled it (or aren't ready to release and someone accidentally pushed it out prematurely) then it's for a reason. If they have it ready then why would they hold it back? I'll let them continue to bug test and i'll get it when ready. Lollipop is still fairly new and without better battery life I don't see the point of marshmallow at this point.

No love for the Note Pro. :crying:
Can't say I'm surprised. I was just happy to get it to 5.x. I'd be willing to be Samsung is going to sit on their hand for a bit to see if Apple releases iPad Pro sales figures and if they're good they'll build an updated Note Pro 12.2.

To me it is 3 months older than my S6 edge and I paid top dollar for the SOB! It should get at least one major update to the next gen OS. Mine came with Lollipop. It is not at all a reach whatsoever to expect Marshmallow.

It came out in February 2014.
If memory serves, years ago (i think it was google i/o 2011?) Google asked major manufacturers to commit to update support for a period of 18 months after launch of a device. Since the note pro was announced in January of 2014 we are well beyond that time frame so yeah, it's not a surprise to not see a 6.0 update coming.

I'm in no hurry for Marshmallow. I was all geeked up about getting Lollipop. It looks different, but I have seen no difference in battery life or performance in coming from KitKat. Unless Marshmallow is going to introduce something really new (not just be a matter of a few internal changes and a new skin) then I'm good with continuing to use Lollipop.
I'm actually downgrading back to KitKat tonight just so I can root again. =(
What about 5.1.1 ? Can we expect this update for the note pro ? (SM-P900)

Meh . . As an advanced user with a rooted device and a few useful tools (Greenify and Amplify for Xposed) I'm able to get standby power consumption on my wifi Note Pro down to a near negligible trickle. I just forgot my Note Pro at the office last night; having unplugged it from the charger at 100% I failed to put it into my bag before leaving for the night. I just got back to the office 12hrs later to find the tablet at 97% . . it had sat on wifi the whole time and my emails were still all synced.
No doubt that for the average user who doesn't want to go through the effort or doesn't want to root Doze takes a lot of the effort out of accomplishing better battery life. Good stuff for sure, just not necessarily mind blowingly good IMO.
It's posts like these that manufacturers never pay attention to. They are in the business of making NEW product. They do NoT see profit in supporting previously sold product. Sad and myopic.
But...the note pro 12.2 has hardware specs that are hard to beat.
I can see the little guy in Korea going crazy trying to figure out how to monetize having made a great product that people, get this, "want to keep".

Odin flash twrp, then flash chainfire's supersu.zip via twrp and voila
When I got my first phone (DROID RAZR M) I didn't even know what root was. After a year and my warranty's term, I found out and unlocked the bootloader just for fun. When I got my Verizon Note 4, I found out about KNOX and its hardware flag that can't be reversed. I had to wait 1.5 years for root on that anyway, but I'm keeping my Samsung tablet stock for the first year because of that flag.
My question: does LG have anything like Samsung KNOX? If I root right now, will I not just be able to flash back to stock and keep my warranty if needed? Or is LG nicer to power users?
Since I lose all data with a bootloader unlock, I'd rather do it sooner than later, but if I permanently trip some flag by doing so, I'd rather wait the year.
I've moved to T-Mobile, so I have the H918. I know I can root and I've seen the guide, but I don't know if I should root.
Up to you. Should wait for root and especially TWRP to mature. Limited right now.

It's actually really exciting to see all the development for this phone so far. I don't have much basis to judge from, but it's definitely a lot more than my Note.
So there's no hardware switch that'll be tripped? Is root reversible?
I rooted mine yesterday. When I turn it on it says that the bootloader is unlocked and I will receive that message everyday until I relock it. Im not new to rooting, and im also not a develepore, but I was checking out some of the adb and fastboot commands and I'm almost positive you could just simply reflash the stock rom and kernel, and from there use fastboot to relock the bootloader. I might try it tomorrow for you and let you know actually. Because this is the first time I have bought a brand new high end phone to actually experience the root slowly become available.
@Rbiter is correct though, other then simply just having supersu, and the simple root explorer stuff, nothing else has been upgraded really to work on nougat, and the current version of twrp is said to be sketchy when flashing stuff because it was just released not to long ago.

Well I guess Google does a pretty good job of backing up app data (which I didn't know they even did), so if I have to wipe, it probably won't be too bad.
If no one has heard of an LG KNOX equivalent, that gives me hope that there is none, and I'll be able to revert, which is definitely a plus for LG.
Yeah well this is my first LG, my last android was the AT&T Samsung galaxy 4, and then I switched to iphone for a little like a year or so, but I've heard nothing but great things about lg, except for there UI I think its called? There touchwiz or something of the sort is a little bloated' but hey that's why I am so excited for the custom roms and kernels! I truly wish I had on hands training with making one or the other. It would totally be my number one hobby!
Ill try to un-root tomorrow after I over fill on turkey and let you know if I can get the boot up message away though and if I can I will compose how I did it.

Anti-Rollback version: 1
That's the first time it has increased, yes? 10k was still 0 I think.

If 10k was 0, then yes, you can't go back to 10k without bricking your phone.
Definitely waiting on this if can't go back
Any idea to when we'll have this implemented in ROM's like WETA?

Jeez. Luckly im in WETA Rom 10k update i dont think im planning to restore to factory just to move to 10p. I have the feeling LG will becoming like Samsung and the Knox system. Given the fact that they are already making the LG V30 to be more like the other flagships (no removable battery and all that) or we dont have to go that far, we can already see it on the g6. They are practically doing the same thing that samsung did. From Samsung galaxy s1 to s5 it was removable battery and there were some features that are not present anymore from the s6 to the present s version. Same thing with the Note series. Now if we take a look at LG, from LG G1 to G5 it was removable battery among other features that are not found any more from the g6 to probably the possible g version. Same thing happens with the V series. From V10 to V20 it is removable battery among other features that wont be found anymore on the V30. Rumors are there wont be a second screen on the V30 (and i thought that's one of the things that made the phone different from other flagships). But well... If they are making changes to external and some internal things to make it look like other flagships, why wouldnt they apply somethig like knox too new updates or for the brand new LG V30 about to come? . Lets see when the V30 actually comes out,
got the kdz for 10p update will upload in a bit

You have 1 fact wrong, my T-Mobile LG G2 d801 has no removable battery and no sd slot, I believe the original LG G is the same way.

My bad. thanks for clarifying. Nevertheless, it doesnt change the fact that LG is kind of using the same idea than other smartphones nowadays Maybe even to start using the same knox with a different name. Who knows hahaha

I have not found a way to defeat the stupid antirollback stuff yet! I will keep searching but at this point the phone seams to be unrootable

I think can`t be only hope is Root
I might have the solution for root. But I need someone who can test it out for me.
If you are on "H91810p" and have your bootloader unlocked (if not I can tell you how to do it), let me know so that I can walk you through the steps. It going to be bit involved so not for first timers.

i think you should create a new thread asking for volunteers... not sure how many you would get from here, although, why can't you try it and see if it works?

I only need one person for now. I will try it on my phone but I don't have my bootloader unlocked. I could unlock it but it will wipe everything on my phone in the process which I don't want to do right now. I'm 99% sure that this method will work on 10p.
