Unlocking LG G4 F500L using Salt - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to unlock my LG 500L(I guess everyone wants that right ) which is updated to nougat.
I tried to downgrading using the F500l20u kdz from lg firmware using LGUP but it failed at 11%.
Replaced the .dll file , still no luck.
Tried to go back to LP using the tot but it failed giving the unknown command error.
So if anyone of you who want to support the unlocking of LG g4 F500L with nougat can give me suggestions on how to go back to MM in order to flash the USU.
Flashing back the Nougat kdz works fine though.

H815 eu marshmallow on H815 twn

So, I've recently flashed the kdz marshmallow file that came out from H815 eu to my h815 twn using LGUP. Is it possible for me to get OTAs even tho my firmware comes from the EU? or if I use LG bridge, it'll prompt me to update my phone to marshmallow h815 twn version when it comes out?
@shigi1231 could you tell me how you flashed the EU Marshmallow KDZ to your TWN device? I've tried using LG Flash tool and its fails every time.

How to downgrade Korean LG G4 F500S from Marshmallow to Lollipop? Which firmwares to

I know the downgrading procedure using LGUP.
I tried downgrading Marshmallow firmware F500S20m and F500S20v to Lollipop F500SAT-00-V11i-SKT-KR-NOV-10-2015+0.tot, but the phone got stuck into bootloop after successful flashing and factory reset did not help.
Upgrading it back to Marshmallow F500S20m made everything work normally.

Refurbished LG G4 Help to get it to stock SALT?

Update: Here is what SALT gives me. https://i.imgur.com/Np6roET.png
Can someone give me some steps, which firmware to flash and how to do it with SALT
Today I bought used LG G4 with secure booting error 1003 and I though I could flash stock and get a nice phone.
The sticker under the battery says H815 and the IMEI number checks out as F500S but when I looked inside, the motherboard name was F500L Main.
The phone shows up as H815 with H81510H version. I tried LG Bridge too it showed up as F500S but it didn't want to update it after it downloaded the firmware....
Download mode works but recovery doesn't work. I tried vol. down and usb and it boots up in fastboot mode with scares information nothing much some key parts are empty but it says that the secure boot is off.
I tried latest OPEN H815 6.0.1 kdz, but I get the error 0x2000 at 9% something about trying to flash smaller ARB version. I even tried F500L TOT with LG UP and flash tool but then I get an error "invalid tot" I even tried hex editing the TOT file I changed one line from F500L to H815 but I get the same invalid Tot file. Maybe I missed some other part of the tot file..
My only option left is to get into linux and use SALT but I have no idea what to do with it. I know that I can get some information and even extract system into kdz right?
Let me know if there is fix like some DLL for flashing the F500L TOT file...
twrp

What about reading the UsU thread??? There is a even a faq.. Whatever you do never flash anything which has an ARB higher then 0.

I finally fixed it.
I tried FWUL but when I had to update SALT to get ARB from kdz it had some python3 crypto module missing and I wasn't able to make it work. So I used my Lubuntu and I installed everything needed and Salt was running fully updated.
I extracted the latest MM kdz for F500L and using fastboot I flashed the MM bootstack and boot system modem(once) and the phone started to boot up to the korean android is updating screen. It bootlooped with error 1009. I assumed that the battery was working fine but nope it was totally dead.
With the charger the phone booted up and everything works even Cellular Network.
Your SALT tool saved my ass man
