ROOT LG G4 H815x20A/B/C/D International

Hello Guys
Yesterday i recieved my brand new LG G4 H815.
I updated trough OTA that installed MM on my phone v20d EUR.
Then i used LGUP to flash back to v20c,install TWRP 3.0 and install a custom rom called Mokee running android 6 Marshmallow,and a custom kernel from Llamasweet.
But now my question...it does not have root acces!how can i root it with supersu?
i flashed supersu trough twrp but i was in a bootloop
Bootloader is unlocked and running a custom rom...i did unlocked the bootloader AFTER ota upate to v20d
Flash a Lollipop kdz then follow rooting instructions before installing a Marshmallow rom.
Wrong secton .
But u nead to flash a custom kernel to be able to boot a rooted system
Mokee might have root options in developer menu(settings)
Which one supersu have you flashed?

Well,i flashed Llamasweet kernel again and then supersu 2.5x and now it just works.Great. Now i know a custom kernel is required,but does mokee rom not have a custom kernel inbuilt?
But i also found u need the right bootloader with software version? thats why i flashed v20C over v20D.were this the right thing to do? those custom roms are not showing what version it is...i dont get it

Systemless rooting and OTA - ZUK Z2

Is it possible do to a Systemless root without custom recovery? or perhaps root with windows ADB wthout unlocking the bootloader?
Another question. Is there any possibility of flashing a new oficial firmware without losing all data? just like OTA does?
One final. I've installed the oficial indian 2.0.093 rom but it says there's no new ota update. Why is that? do I have to be in India???

1.Root is not possible with locked bootloader and if you unlock it, the update app will refuse to update.
2.Not really. If you use qfil it will erase all the usedata. There are sdfuse and manually flashing ota package, but you've to be on the CN ZUI.
3.Indian ZUI is at version 2..0.xxx, which is MM and there is no Nougat available yet for that version of ZUI. It will eventually come, but nobody knows when.
Overall, this phone is best used with custom ROM, like Mokee.

if you have stock rom and unlocked BL, you should recieve official OTA updated. But yes, you can flash 7.0 or 7.1 manually.

How to upgrade custome ROM to OREO?

I have bootloader unlocked, S-ON, run custom Nougat right now but I want to upgrade to some of the custom Oreo or Pie ROMS.
How can I do that???
Flashing through TWRP (latest version) just gives me a boot-loop.

upgrade your firmware to Oreo first.
How?
To recap, how to flash Oreo firmware if I am on custom Nougat ROM and have S-ON?
