Hello LaserWolf, thank you for the video and clarification. I got a question, actually a couple. Before I go on to that, I am going to explain my background a little bit.
Initially I was on rooted 13a without trouble and last month my phone got into the hardware failure/bootloop issue so I had to send my phone to LG. Just got it back with 25a installed fresh. I am not sure how LG does it, push a force update after fixing or just swap out entire hardware and pushed in MM 25a straight. So, I am wondering-

1) Would it make a difference in consideration of downgrading- whether the 25a version was upgraded from a previous version vs. 25a installed fresh?

2) When downgrading, does it matter if I use 13b rooted version instead of fresh?

Thank you in advance.

to be honest i dont know cause i had a few people saying they was on 25A and it fails on them at 9% some say they succeed to 13B (not 13A) my g4 just broke and in need of a replacement and its going to cost $150 to get it replaced, screen shattered incase you wonder what happened. so i know if i get a replacement i'm pretty sure i be on 25A but i do not have the money for a replacement, its going to be months before i get it unless someone helps, i wont ask for help here as i don't think XDA will be happy with that

my phone was on 13B i did a kdz using lgup and was able to downgrade from 25A to 13B.

if its true with the qfuse what ever its called then i guess we all be stuck on MM but i will find out once i get a replacement and i redo the video if i succeed on the downgrade, you can try it if you like, the worst that will happy is it will fail at 9%

i want to give you an update. i took my broken g4 and did the OTA cause i know when i get a replacement i be on 25A, so i took the OTA to 25A then downgrade it to 13B, again. no issues and i don't why some people are having issues and failing at 9%. i want to blame it on there OS or how things are installed. i redid my OS (downgrade to 8.1. the moron at MS sucks and made 10 worst) and i did the downgrade on my g4 to 13B with no issues. i will post a video to help out with my knowledge on how to get it to work, if it fails then i do not know, all i can say from that point is to contact me, ask me to remote your PC via teamviewer and i take a look at it. please note i ONLY support the VS986

a video of proof will be uploaded here soon

i missed number 2. it is recommended that you use a fresh KDZ insted of a modified one. then root the phone, i have some root videos you can look up that will help you on 13B on my channel

Thanks for all the responses. Sorry I was not get back to you earlier. I tried but hit a brick wall with LG UP, it stopped recognizing my phone, in any way. I even removed all software/drivers and reinstall latest versions of everything, but still no go. Tried switching to various different modes on the phone. Looked up online and followed various tricks suggested at various forums to have LGUP recognize phone, but until yesterday I did not have much luck.

But anyways, I have to put the project off for now since I have faced a larger issue. Because LG wiped it clean, it prompted an activation process, which killed my grandfathered UDP (angry face emoji). Currently arguing with VZW to try to get it back. Meanwhile going to use my old rooted G2. If I don't get it back, I will sell my G4 and use the money to pay VZW's ETF. If I get it back, going to retry rooting the G4.
