Well, I thought buying this phone would end my terrible relationship with ATT's Note 4 for good... Hell it's even an H815 for christ sakes....
But it seems like it can't be rooted on MM due its bootloader being locked :/
Yes, I did try using the official unlock tool but, as some of you know it doesn't work for the Taiwan version (Just my luck).
However, I looked around and saw that the Lollipop version can have root/twrp installed WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader.
In conclusion, my question is............. will I be able to downgrade from MM to Lollipop?

From what I know the H815 model can be unlocked. But I think it's only the International one. There's an unofficial unlock in the works, just look around on the forums, haven't been that interested 'cause I'm rocking an International model

I tried using the Official unlock tool but, it doesn't support the Taiwan version, even though it's an H815 :/
I did see that an unofficial tool is in the works but I mean....I just came from an ATT note 4 ........

Lollipop, or LP, is version 5.1. Just look at the KDZ files that are Android 5.1
Nope.

Just make sure its for the 16gb variant and its from the same region
Usually if you flash firmwares from other regions theres always a ton of problems related to network signal, battery etc etc

I updated to Lollipop using LG PC Suite and ran it Lollipop for a few days..
The most annoying issues for me were notification access.. I couldn't access the notifications with double tapping on them.. Always had to single tap and swipe.
The battery somehow drains a whole lot more when asleep.. I lost 10% overnight.. horrible!!!
I reverted to my last backup F400k10u by flashing the backup through TWRP. Back on KK and loving it !!! Lollipop sucks! :good:

i also did the same.. i updated thru PC Suite and yes, I'm not satisfied with LP. As if LG did rushed things just to boast that they're the "first" to release LP (except for Nexus phones though). I'm encountering force closes and lots of lag. I don't even see the difference between KK and LP, oh there's one thing... it became worst.. hahaha!
Good thing you're back on KK. I'm much more pleased with KK since i can do most of things i want i even messed my phone and did a factory reset. (forgot to backup my data LOL )

Come back when you have unlocked your device:
Unlock and root is not the same!
You need an unlocked bootloader for twrp.
Bootloader of H818 cannot be unlocked yet and maybe never will.
That means no twrp for you.

As said just one post before: you need to have an unlocked device first! Write LG an email and sign the online petition to let them unlock your device (0.05% chance that this will happen) or wait and hope that someone finds another way (1% chance that this will happen)

depends if phone can be downgraded.. some phone have antirollback.. example i have h811 and if am on lastest 20pMM its V3 so i can only downgrade to MM 20o... if i was on MM20i i could downgrade to LP 10n as 10n and 20i are V2.. so you need to ask what antirollback version your phone is.. some can.. and some phone cant be downgraded after you on specific firmware... try the hidden menu and check the software then scroll down and it says wich antirollback you are on. otherwise youll hard brick phone.

One has to wonder if anti-rollback is permanent on the device or not, even with bootloader unlocking and or root access.
Root is now quit possible with the new vulnerabilities found. Now it seems to be a wait and see game if there are any devs that care to tackle certain G4 models that cannot be self-rooted yet. The dirty cow code is out...so yeah.
