Here are some stock Marshmallow ROM's for T-Mobile H811 LG G4.
Thanks to Autoprime and xTEE for their respective KDZ's and Chainfire for his SuperSU root.
20i=T-Mobile USA
20e=Europe Global
Global rom is NOT sim unlocked. Only T-Mobile can sim unlock your phone.
Prerequisites:
**Must be on MM and OEM Unlocked per Autoprime's method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227
**Must be on H811 G4 or you will brick flashing to wrong partition. You've been warned.
Flash from TWRP.

Thanks for the brilliant job you do. I have a question that might be considered stupid, but I'll take the risk. I bought my G4 a few weeks ago, from a random bloke and out of the USA, and now it turned out to be SIM locked. Would this ROM somehow help? Thank you again.
What's different between 20e and 20i?

Is there any safe way to downgrade back to lollipop after flashing this?
I would flash it over the 10N bootstack but I haven't gotten a definitive answer as to whether MM will work with the 10N bootstack.

million dollar question,
which Rom are you running? 20i or 20e? and which one YOU feel runs better?
20e have the Setting FC? (i bet it does cuz we are using full H811 bootstack)

Im on my xTreme 20i. Only ran 20e shortly to test. 20e is good if your not on T-Mobile. Every thing on it should work as it needs MM base.

That doesn't actually answer the question because that much is known...
If one was four H815 and one was for H811, I'd understand the difference right away, but, since they're both for H811, why flash one over the other?

Not sure what answer your looking for here. lol One is stock T-Mobile USA ROM. The other Global is made for people in Europe, but I made it to work on the H811. That is the difference, nothing more, nothing less. lol
Some people like to use the Global ROM to be free of anything T-Mobile related. Its just another alternative.

I believe the difference is that 20i was altered by tmobile to their specifications and then pushed out to the 811s. 20e is untouched by tmobile and was intended for the European 815 models. Micromod got 20e running for the 811s incase people didn't want something that came from a carrier (spyware, bloat, featureset etc). Both versions should essentially run the same.. Same core features same ui same camera etc.

Hemmm, any kamikaze try this patch on 815E ? (it should work since 20e is made for 815).
Yes I know you have 20E on 811 since you are in USA, but if it fixes something in the rom it should ben right for 20D and 20E maybe... (hopefully)

I'm currently running your debloated 10n. I'd like to upgrade to your debloated 20i. My phone is telling me it has downloaded a system update (presumably 20i; I'm on T-Mo US). Is my best path to install the OTA, to use Autoprime's 20i upgrade, or to flash straight to your debloated 20i?
Thanks for all the great work!

I believe you need to upgrade to 20i first, before flashing this rom. You need the stock firmware which you can obtain through the autoprime thread and then install TWRP and flash MicroMod's rom and everything should be running smoothly. If you run into any issues just search in the autoprime thread as most people have had similar problems and resolved it. Goodluck!
Is there a chance of losing sim unlock? I bought an unlock service from eBay, I'd hate to re flash a locked boot stack lol
It says the rom is rooted yet it doesn't seem to be. What's the best way to root this rom, flash supersu?

@mrbox23 There should be NO chance of losing SIM unlock, if you do somehow I would contact your seller and tell them you upgraded to MM and in doing so you lost it. 2 things - 1. you shouldn't have so their system is flawed and they should appreciate knowing it if they are at all reputable, and 2. you shouldn't have so they should be willing to do it again for free. However if you are at all worried about them, and you've already left feedback to the positive, I would contact them first and see what they say their policy is. at least then you know what your risks are.
Is there a list of what is exactly "debloated"

Alright guys, so I have a quick question I'm unsure about. So I bought a Nexus 6 off of the Google Play Store, and I am using it on T-Mobile. So for the wifi calling feature, I understand that I would have to have bought the device from T-Mobile themselves for the feature to be built into the OS correct? And if that's the case, is it safe to fastboot flash the T-Mobile firmware to a device bought off of Google Play? Or is that a bad idea because of a different chipset of some kind? Thanks!

Yes, you can flash the t-mobile img and get the features they offer.
Just to clarify:
All N6 are the same. What build you get in an OTA is decided based on your sim-card (if you have a T-mobile sim, you'll get the T-mobile build).
In other words, if you're using a T-mobile sim there should be no reason for you to flash an image. Unless you've been tinkering with your phone (root, custom recovery, custom kernel), then you have to use the images to update since it'll be impossible to install updates through OTA.
So it doesn't hurt to flash any of the builds that's on the Google developers site for my nexus 6? None will brick the device somehow? And also, I have a T-Mobile sim in my nexus here, but my phone still updated to LMY48M not the T-Mobile build. I have tinkered with the device, yes. It is rooted right now and I have flashed images to it before. I have flashed LMY48I earlier on and just last week flashed LMY48M. But I did an OTA update from stock LMY48I and it took me to LMY48M. Sorry if this is confusing.

Yes, it is safe to flash on any Nexus 6. North American or International. Every Rom works on Every Nexus 6. Regardless. The only difference is if you are on T-mobile or Verizon, if you want WiFi Calling or VoLTE (respectively) You'll need their specific builds.
Oh yea, it's definitely confusing haha When it comes to flashing anything Android powered, there's almost always a possibility to brick so I had to ask. Alright! Thanks guys! I'm gonna flash the T-Mobile image today because I am on T-Mobile and this phone is still on the US International image.

Hi.
So I bought this xt1097 AT&T branded.
I would like to keep only one feature from T-Mobile and it's WiFi calling. Rest of the phone can be stock Motorola.
Is it possible to flash any ROM that would have T-Mobile WiFi calling?
Oh the phone is 5.1 already.

I had xt1096. Flashed through twrp stock 6.0 xt1095 from the android development section and it converted my phone to xt1095 automatically.
I am on GSM technology and everything works fine about 2 weeks by now.
Just make sure you have root and twrp and you're good.

No problam man.
I don't know... I won't want to return to xt1096 verizon's stock.
On 5.1 verizon, antutu benchmark gave 36k while right now on stock 6.0 xt1095 I get 55k.
But I believe that flashing the stock xt1096 5.1 will solve your problem.

Well dude, that's actually weird because mine running 5.1.1 verizon' stock ROM gave 63445. I haven't tested the 6.0 of XT1095 but I will give it a shot, I will let you know what is gonna happen. Right bellow the text I leave a link with an screenshot of AnTuTu on my cellphone. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0CeuR2p1gW1T0QybzdXQXlOMGc/view?usp=drivesdk[/IMG]

Hi!, so I purchased an XT1096 on eBay that's coming today so my questions are:
1. How I can unlock the bootloader?
2. Can I flash any rom any rom from other variants? (Like XT1093, 95) [I don't use Verizon so I don't really care if I lost the CDMA signal]
3. Can I use other variants firmware or just the Verizon one?
Thanks!

The bootloader is easy. You can do it on the Motorola site (google the topic for specific directions). Then download and flash twrp recovery. I've been running Cyanogen for the most part. I wouldn't bother with other stock roms. Lineage will be out in a few weeks. There is also a Lineage build on 12-29 that is out there. I am running it now.

Thx for reply! Sadly the Moto come's with an broken mic so nobody can't hear me, I will return it to the seller and buy an Nexus 5! but I unlocked the bootloader and flash 7.1.1 and return it to stock hope the doesn't mind :silly:
Are people still working on cracking the AT&T G870A or is it a lost cause?
If yes, how's it going?
I had a G870F but sent it swimming on 20m deep for three weeks. Needless to say it didn't survive.
Found the G870A and thought it was a bargain, however . . .
Pretty much a lost cause, most devs have moved on.
So the answer is not so straight forward. The current v 5.1 and above for the AT&T phones are not currently rootable. If you find a used or remanufactured S5 or S5 Active with 4.2 you will be in luck. I just had a problem with my Active found a replacement on the most popular buying and selling web site for around $230. Just make sure it has not been updated. If the seller is advertising it as 4.2 and you get it with 5.0 they must take it back if it's not what was advertised. Hope this helps.
If you want an S5 to tinker with you should get a tmobile variant the SM-G900T, or the international SM-G900M since the active model is basically a carrier exclusive they dont have any international ones that im aware of.
I dont understand the question of OP
I used a popular search and found rooted firmwares for the 870A.
Several people who replied have in their sigs that they have a rooted s5 Active..... I would think that to mean the phone has been "cracked" and isn't a lost cause.

Thanks, but I have bought the phone already. If I get another one or replace the one I have it'll probably be a European, G870F, the same modell I had before.

You could have rooted before 5.0. If you have the latest bootloader, it can't be done. That is why I suggested getting one that has pre 5.0 stock 4.4.2.

so its isn't the android version per say bu the bootloader that comes with it?
So one couldn't just flash a 5.0 firmware, is that what you're also saying?
pardon my ignorance, but when one flashes a firmware -- that wont impact the bootloader will it...
poop... i just got one of those and I'm all excited to get the att crap off there and see how much faster it gets... not to mention all the other things you can't run without root.... this ebay "deal" keeps getting worse....

When you update the firmware, it automatically updates the bootloader. Once that bootloader has been updated, it's locked down. No downgrading firmwares, rooting, or installing custom recoveries.

Yeah, that's basically what I gathered after a lot of research online.
Some claim it can be done but when trying the method/software, it doesn't work.
I just wanted to double check since there is a lot of expert knowledge in this forum.
One thing i've been thinking though (not that I can do it): how about picking the phone apart
and wiping/replacing the bootloader manually?

Well it's soldered to the board. You would need some highly specialized equipment to do it. Even then I'm not sure.

Is this the case with both the G900A and the G870A. I'm in the market for either one since they are going for just of $200 new on Ebay. Are both phones now locked down of is the Active more problematic?
Both are locked down. AT&T and Samsung are being jerks to us and not even letting us have a developer phone to try to use like Verizon had.

If you are looking to root, then buy one that still has Android v4.4.2. They are available you just have to look for them. Don't put the SIM card in until you root or it will auto update and you can't go back.

Hi Sgt.CM,
I got my AT&T S5 on release day and never updated it. I have a SM-G900A with Android version 4.4.2! Is it possible for me to put CM13 with marshmallow 6.0.1 on there? I had assumed it was impossible...
Thanks,
Frozen

Nope can't because of locked bootloader. The best thing you could do is too root with towelroot and then flash safestrap and install a custom rom from there.

That is what I thought. What are the custom rom options? Is there a rooted marshmallow rom for the s5 i can install?
Also according to these articles it is possible:
http://rootmygalaxy.net/install-cm-13-rom-on-galaxy-s5/
http://androiding.how/download-galaxy-s5-cm13-rom-marshmallow/
I'm guessing they may not be correct?
