Need help downgrading.

[mike.bss]

Hello. I'm kinda a noob (i admit).
I'm going to root my G5 and by reading the threads i figured out that i have to downgrade to 20a in order to root my phone ( im running on 20c currently).
Do i have to downgrade? If yes, how?
I know i have to use "LG Up" but i couldn't find a good place for downloading the 20a flashable zip.

Thanks.

Yes, you must downgrade to 20A to root and install TWRP.

Here's the link for 20A:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20a-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3511294

Download the 20A kdz from that link and install using LG UP. Once you're running 20A, use the following link to install TWRP and root:

Hello,
and sorry in advance for stupid questions. But my phone is H830i network locked. If I root it will I be able to use it in any networks?

nope. it will stay locked. best way is to have it unlocked by TMO or some 3rd party unlocking services. Mine is sim locked too.
