Unroot stock rom?

I have a rooted G5 plus with TWRP installed. My backup is rooted so I'm wondering if there is a way to unroot it? Is there a stock rom zip that is flashable in TWRP? Can I unroot throught the unroot feature right in the supersu app? Thanks guys!

If you have lollipop then you can root with kingo root and if you have flashed poland stock ROM you can flash supersu zip for root
Edit:- if you want to install stock 5.0 you can use lg flash tool it does not require root access

Can I root and keep the stock ROM?

I have bought an LG G6 (US997) and planning on rooting it.
Can it be rooted and keep the stock ROM?
TIA
Yes course it can lol.
Yeah you can
I have rooted h870 with stock rom but when you get a new ota you can't install then you need a zip file for the new update and install it with your twrp
Thanks for the replies!
So, the G6 will be rooted the moment I unlock the bootloader?
No ! after unlocking the bootloader you need to install twrp and root ( superSu or Magisk ) for your phone but before doing it your phone need to be a free carrier
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/recovery-twrp-lg-g6-us997-unofficial-t3629883
So you have 3 steps
1-Unlock bootloader
2-Flash twrp
3-Flash root
Good luck and be carefull to no brick your phone or lose your data
You should really do some more research before doing this. You clearly don't have a clue.

When you say Flash root , do I simply install SuperSU? If yes, what method of installation works? Play Store, ADB, or TWRP?
Thanks again.

I'd recommend Magisk over SuperSU at this point. Download the Magisk zip and flash it with TWRP.
If you don't root immediately after installing TWRP, your phone will revert to the stock recovery on the next boot.
Try this guide, it will answer some of your questions:

G935FD Switch Root to Magisk

So I got a G935FD and I rooted it with Supersu zip from XDA but can't run some apps like TextNow that detect root. I want to switch root from SuperSu to Magisk. I tried but failed 3-4 times through twrp flash. Need Magisk to hide root status from certain apps. Please help thanks
