I don't have experience with that exact model, but tons of general LG experience and I haven't seen one of their phones that couldn't be downgraded. Google: LG Spirit kdz and find a guide with the instructions and files needed.

For now, there is only stock 5.0.1 for LG Spirit. You cannot downgrade to KitKat or jellybean.
But there are some versions of 5.0.1, for example you can downgrade from 5.0.1 v10c to 5.0.1 v10a but I don't see any point in this.

ok ,thanks for replies.

Considering 6.0 rom

Can anyone help me with steps for upgrading my unlocked bootloader gs5 from pb1 to this rom?
I've been running jrkruse's 5.1.1 note 5 port. I like it, but am interested in trying a 6.0 rom.
I've done a lot of reading, but still lack a little confidence in deciphering the correct steps for updating bootloader etc..
Thanks for any help.
Can anyone confirm that I can update my firmware from the note 5 port to a rooted 6.0 rom?
Can I follow the upgrade/downgrade firmware instructions that I've seen in other threads?

Upgrade to Nougat before or after root

I couldn't find a solid answer to this question anywhere. I have a stock axon 7 A2017UV1.0.0B29 build and wanted to root the phone, but also wanted to upgrade to Nougat b15. Would I have better luck rooting first on b29 and then upgrading or should I attempt to root after the upgrade is complete? I'm not really looking to install any custom Rom at the moment and would just like to have a rooted device. Many of the tutorials bundle root in with a custom ROM which is part of the reason why I'm having so much trouble searching for a solution.

Just find a guide and follow it until you have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. That's all you need to have root.
After that you just flash Magisk or supersu

Upgrading to EMUI 5 from a custom EMUI 4 ROM??

Can anybody explain to me or point me in the right direction to upgrade my firmware to EMUI5? I can't figure it out and it's killing me. I'm currently running a melticulus RR install which has recently started playing up so I want to upgrade to a 7.0 ROM and to do that, I apparently need to upgrade my firmware to EMUI5
Thanks

Use firmware finder

Hello,
Yes man you need to do that..
I'm on EliteRom by HassanMirza and as you came from RR MM 6.0.1 whit Meticulus Recovery TWRP-3.0.2.0-hi6250-v4.zip.
So i hope you've done your Dump backup+Nandroid backup as explained as well.
Starting from here u need to follow steps in the Meticulus site in the FAQ section of TWRP download page.
Well done.. now flash the Stock Recovery and let it upgrade..
Enjoy

Help in installing TWRP on lg v20 h990DS

Hi. I have a bought a used lg v20 h990DS and I want to install custom rom like linage OS on it. For that I need to install TWRP recovery. I have searched online and found only dirty santa method which is quite complicated and it requires an old mougat firmware to begin with as far as I can understand. Is there a latest method to install TWRP. If not whats the best method? If someone can explain it in simple words, it would be quite helpful.
Note: I have experience in installing twrp on samsung note 5 and note 8 but lg v20 seems quite complicated

Their is no easy way. Follow the guide and you'll get there.
You should read the Lineage thread though
You loose the second screen the quad dac and the cameras are crap. Rooted stock/debloated is the best for a V20.

I have gone through various xda threads and found that it is not possible install twrp on oreo stock rom on lg v20. You havve to start with the dirty santa method and you can update it the latest version of nougat with it using kdz. The only way to install orea is to instal an oreo zip file through TWRP with nougat bootloader. Is that true for lg v20 h990DS?

That's true, here's one such stock Oreo zip
