[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
yes, diagnostic mode on black screen, I have put the screens before.

Every time when I read LTE band in DFS, it shows different bands selected. Anyone knows for certain which bands I can safely select on LTE bands screen?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25, 29, 38, 39, 40, 41 - is this correct?

On the CDMA screen, shall I tick ALL bands (as per guide) even in CDMA box, GSM WCDMA box and WLAN box? ALL bands in ALL THREE boxes there?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I select all that any V10 version use, the same as you, minus 25 (not in any V10 version), plus 28 and 30...

I also click all CDMA bands :good:
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
All CDMA bands, all GSM/WCDMA bands and all WLAN bands? Is this correct?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
:good:
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
The reason I ask is because there are so many different bands there...our phone doesn't seem to support them all, according to the table which you presented earlier. :confused:

UPDATE: problem solved!
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I did match LTE bands, tried matching the rest, no difference, then checked all again, no idea if it is good or bad, following master Ruxst suggestions ;)
[LG V10 General] abbody8002:
What is LTE discovery app? Is it an app that tells you what band is your phone connected to?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Yes :good:
[LG V10 General] Ruxst:
[MENTION=2363601]a_petrov303[/MENTION] dont give up... If you need my help i will do the same [MENTION=3250956]melorib[/MENTION] and i did a few days ago... Just let me know whem you can skype and lets check on that
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Oh boy! Here we go:

Greyed out check-boxes or not, in LTE BC Config DIV LTE #6829, you need to manually match the settings of LTE BC Config LTE #6828, so they both end up looking exactly the same, otherwise you run the risk of encountering strange behavior (band dropouts, phone freezouts, etc.), especially when both SIMs are being used.

Bell Canada

routinely

uses LTE bands 2, 4, 7, 17, and 42 in real world deployments and is probably testing other bands in selected areas.

Please post a screenshot of LTE Discovery while connected to LTE Band 17 (700 MHz) – we are missing confirmation of that band working in a real world deployment!

After you post the above mentioned screenshot, please do unroot your device to check if the previously locked bands (including LTE Band 17 [700 MHz]) work on an unrooted LG V10 Dual SIM!

Thanks a lot!

You absolutely 100% most assuredly definitely

NEED

to run DFS in Administrator mode, otherwise it

will not

work properly. The reason why I didn't mention it in the guide is that I falsely assumed that everyone would obviously run these types of tools in Administrator mode! I was wrong. The guide has been updated accordingly.

People never manage to surprise me with their ability to creatively find microscopic omittances in guides that I consider solid as all hell: I really appreciate you guys' ability to make my guides fool-proof! Thanks!

Like I said before, you might have damaged the antenna config rom region.

I recommend you follow this procedure:

1. Reflash back to stock rom

2. Check your real world deployment LTE connectivity

3. Field Test LTE bands that are known to work on stock rom

4. Field Test LTE bands that are known to NOT work on stock rom

5. Report back here with your findings

I also recommend you stay on stock rom until we figure this out. Your phone is acting in a very non-standard way.

No one knows for sure. This is what I've been trying to find out since we got this device rooted, but despite repeated requests, no one has tested it out yet!

Given the context, the in-guide phrase "check all the bands" meant "check all the bands you wish to unlock/enable". The guide has been updated accordingly.

Unlocking/enabling all of the CDMA/GSM/WCDMA/WLAN bands is not something that I would recommend.

Yes. Download it here.
[LG V10 General] rcyh:
Here is a screen shot of band17.

I still cannot find a way on how to unroot it. Do we use LGUP to do it? Then choose the kdz file in refurbish mode just like flashing the root .tot file? I try again tonite and see if I can unroot. If not. I'll go ahead and start install apps to the phone.
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
Thank you [MENTION=7275472]Ruxst[/MENTION] !

I have managed to get all working now in reality, 4G stable and all good.

I do get fail in engineering menu, but this is something which does not bother me much as I know that those band DO actually work! :)

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Thank you so much for all the effort you put in the explanations - this is why this forum is so great for me: I learn every day something new. Even if I make mistakes or miss something, but still I am so glad I managed in the end to root the phone and get additional LTE bands working! I would not have been able to do it without the help I find on this pages!:good::good:
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Thank you for the screenshot and the willingness to test the bands out on an unrooted device!

We all really appreciate it!

I will guide you through the unrooting process, momentarily: I am writing it down right now, so sit tight!

Thanks!
[LG V10 General] Ruxst:
Oh man!! i glad it's all good then!!!
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
That's awesome – I'm very happy that you managed to get the desired LTE bands working!

Out of curiosity, which LTE bands have you managed to unlock that had been locked in stock rom?

Do the freshly unlocked LTE bands properly show up in the LTE Discovery app?

Thanks!

Guide for reflashing back to stock rom/unrooting the LG V10 H961N Dual SIM

1.

Download

and then install the LG Mobile Driver from here and the Visual C++ Runtime Libraries (VCRedistInstaller) from here into your PC. In VCRedistInstaller, select all of the components (check-boxes) and press the Install button on page 3 of the installer.

Note: Don't worry if VCRedistInstaller sometimes displays a popup message during installation saying that you have the latest version installed, because it will STILL install/update the other versions of Visual C++ Runtime Libraries.

2. Reboot your PC.

3. Download the LG Flash Tool from here and the v10c stock KDZ file for LG V10 H961N Dual SIM from here into your PC.

4. Unzip the LG Flash Tool into the root directory of one of your hard drives/partitions (e. g., "C:") and copy the v10c stock KDZ file for LG V10 H961N Dual SIM that you downloaded in step 3 into the LG Flash Tool directory that you have just created (e. g., "C:\LG Flash Tool 2014").

5. Activate download mode on your LG V10 Dual SIM device, plug one end of the USB cable into your LG V10 Dual SIM device and the other end

directly

(no hubs or extensions) into one of your PC's motherboard's free

back panel

USB ports (they are usually in the back of the PC case, depending on the PC case) or into one of your notebook's/laptop's free USB ports.

Note: USB 3.0 ports will NOT work with this method! You need to use USB 2.0 ports only!

6. Launch LGFlashTool2014.exe in

Administrator mode

(right click on LGFlashTool2014.exe > Run as administrator). If you're on Windows 8 or later, run the LGFlashTool2014.exe in

both Administrator AND Windows 7 compatibility mode

(right click on LGFlashTool2014.exe > Properties > Compatibility tab).

7. Set "Select KDZ file" to the v10c stock KDZ file for LG V10 H961N Dual SIM that you downloaded in step 3, set "Select Type" to CDMA, set "PhoneMode" to DIAG.

8. Press the "CSE Flash" button.

9. Press START in the "Read Phone Information" window (ignore everything else: DO NOT PRESS the tempting "Read Phone Information" button, otherwise the LG Flash Tool may crash!).

10. Press OK in the "Select Country & Language" window (ignore everything else: DO NOT CHANGE ANY SETTINGS!).

11. Wait for the flashing process to complete.

Note: If you get a "Connection to Server failed. Try again in a moment." error during the flashing process,

DO NOT PRESS OK!

Move the error dialog box to the side of your desktop, so you can see the LG Mobile Support Tool window while your device flashes. The flashing process can take up to 30 minutes on some systems (especially Windows 8 and later), so don't worry if the LG Mobile Support Tool does not seem to be doing anything for a very long time! It's flashing your device silently.

12. Done!

[LG V10 General] Zombie_style:
Hi guys, so I've been following this thread for about 2 weeks and finally got time to go about and root my V10, Root was successful and was able to install Xposed installer but has brought up a few issues.

- Second Screen now crashes when I try to make calls. When I go to turn off the second screen it simply won't connect the call. Goes from "Connecting" to red "Disconnected" right away. I tried the FC screen fix and no avail either...

- I also lost my VoLTE function, and HD Call function and Video Calling function.

- Found the guide to turn on my LTE connections thinking that may have some connection to it and have been giving that a go for a few hours now with no luck. Only Bands #1, #3, #7 and #40 are connected. I have restarted my PC, connected to a different USB port, restarted pc again.. (To be fair though I can't find the information on Hong Kong's LTE network to verify what band my carrier uses (1010 CSL) so it might just not be available where I live.)

I figured maybe something didn't go well in the flash so I did a wipe and clean flash again. This time, second screen does not crash anymore but I still can't connect any calls and my LTE functions still haven't been resolved.

My next plan is to unroot it and see if that helps and may try to root again depending.

If anyone has any ideas, would be much appreciated, I love this phone :crying:

[EDIT] : since the original post I've been trying to unroot the phone with the stock .kdz file but about 30% of the way it tells me that it can't connect to LG SW server and disconnects... now i can't even unroot the thing....

[EDIT][EDIT] : Now since I wasn't able to unroot my phone, I decided to flash again for about the 6th time... and this time, for some reason my call function is back and second screen works again :confused: and almost flawlessly, I can make calls and receive calls......

Tried to unlock LTE bands again and still no progress. Still same #1, #3, #7, #40 only.

HD calling function and video calling function still MIA..

At least I can make calls with it now haha :laugh:, slow progress, but is progress...

[EDIT][EDIT][EDIT] After having rooted the last time I reinstalled Xposed and my second screen started acting up again and my calls started crashing. Uninstalled it and everything went back to normal. Looks like the same issue some people were having with the G4.
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
I used only bands 3 and 7, but it seems that Orange Moldova uses only these bands for LTE. When I will be traveling I will be able to test other bands too.

I forgot about Unite Moldova sim card sticked in my laptop. Do they use other bands? I could try to cut it to nano sim size...

Whay xPosed app do you sugest to change battery on status bar to large digits :confused:
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Hello and welcome to the forum.

Regarding the reason for editing your post: Yes, it's cleaner to update your original post, well done.

If you get a "Connection to Server failed. Try again in a moment." error during the flashing process,

DO NOT PRESS OK!

Move the error dialog box to the side of your desktop, so you can see the LG Mobile Support Tool window while your device flashes. The flashing process can take up to 30 minutes on some systems (especially Windows 8 and later), so don't worry if the LG Mobile Support Tool does not seem to be doing anything for a very long time! It's fine.

Please note that USB 3.0 ports will NOT work with this method! You need to use USB 2.0 ports only!

I have updated the guide accordingly.
[LG V10 General] Ruxst:
There is a fix for that.. Look it up in the xposed forum

I got problem after installed VCRedistInstaller into my win10 last nite. Windows explorer were responding very slow on every action. The mouse pointer were spinning all the time. I needed to reboot the pc without other method. I ended up needed to spend the whole nite until 2am to uninstall all components from VCRedistInstaller to rescue my wife's pc or otherwise she would kill me. Lol. After uninstall them the pc is normal again. Not recommended to do it on win10.

I spent a day tried to unroot it but unsuccessful. Now moving on and start really actual using this new v10.

Found an app called DT Ignite on the phone after rooting. A quick search on the internet did not give anything good about it.

What is the collective wisdom on this issue: shall we remove it or is it something we need on the phone?
[LG V10 General] coremark:
I noticed the same thing too. I ended up freezing it for now in titanium. Not sure what it does either.
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
well, the information I found on this forum says it does a lot of bad things, like installing bloatware and other software without our consent. The reason I ask here before removing it is because may be this is part of the root process and removing it will do some harm???? anyone?
[LG V10 General] coremark:
Oh wow. Didn't know that. That doesn't sound good.
[LG V10 General] rcyh:
I already removed it for a day. So far so good.

Also anyone tried on encrypted your rooted phone with any success?
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
what about ELTest and Cell Broadcast apps? What do they do, anyone tried to remove them?

BTW, when I uninstalled DT Ignite, there was a message about Vodafone bla-bla-bla...
[LG V10 General] rcyh:
Sorry...I should make myself clear...I didn't remove it. I only "Force Stop" and "Disable" it from Setting->App a day ago.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
This is how I like the status bar, clock center and battery percentage right, simple and easy to read :good:
[LG V10 General] petalex99:
DT Ignite allows carriers to install bloatware without your permission. Freeze or remove it with Titanium backup without any problems

I removed it a week ago.
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
Thanks!

What about ELTest and Cell Broadcast?

Do you know anything about them?
[LG V10 General] petalex99:
I have answerd you: this app is useless, even suspect.

But I want give you an advice: it's a lot of application which you can remove. Be carrefoul: ask in google search what that apk means. Firstly, freeze with Titanium apps you don't want. Wait few days and if things goes well, remove it.

Untill now for example I removed: docs, dt ignite, easy home, email, exchange, file manager, fotatest, gcuv, gmail, google calendar sync, google contacts sync, hangouts, home selector, lg backup. lg backup launcher, lg health agent, lgsetupwizard, photos, remote support service, sheets, slides, voice recorder, Of course I put in place for some of them another application (ex: Office Suite. for docs, slides, sheets; rec forge pro for voice recorder, etc.) And I don't finished yet.

Good luck!
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
wow!!! this is just great! could you please let us know when you have the full list of what can be safely removed? I start this phone even more and more and this mainly to the community of people hanging around here!

What did you replace photos with?
[LG V10 General] petalex99:
A full list...may be in a month... when I will finish... The list will be about my needs and taste....

Photos replaced with... any file manager could read a*.jpg. I utilise Total commander and root explorer.

[LG V10 General] cottageboy:
what file did you use?

do you have the original tot?
[LG V10 General] rcyh:
I received a few PMs asking how to unroot it. Actually it was quite straightforward.

The file I used was H961N10c_00_0107.kdz

I started up LGUP just like the way I rooted the H961N, and then choose the .kdz file above. But I needed to change the mode to "Upgrade" instead of "Refurbish" before I can choose the .kdz file. Somehow the LGUP tool only allows to pick .tot file when you choose "Refurbish". But when you change to "Upgrade" you are allow to choose .kdz, .zip, or .tot file.

Then after I chose the file in the entry, I changed the mode back to "Refurbish". Then I closed the LGUP app. And reopened it. The chosen file in the entry and the "Refurbish" mode should be persisted. From there I went ahead and started the flash...I also put the phone in download mode.

Hope this help.

I need to encrypt the phone before I can connect to my company's Exchange Server. So I have a little motivation to find a way to unroot it here in Canada. :)

Buyers' Poll

Just a quick poll for those who bought the LG V10 H961N/H962 Dual SIM online:

Which online store did you purchase your LG V10 H961N/H962 Dual SIM from?

Optional:

Did you have to pay additional import charges (import duties, customs services payments, customs tax, import VAT & GST, etc.)? What was the delivery time? Were you satisfied with your shopping experience at the online store (price, customer service, delivery time, etc.) enough to recommend them?

Thanks a lot!

[LG V10 General] Jurisprudence:
Sorry if this has been asked before but about to make the jump to the V10 and need to know a couple of things. Am I right in thinking the H961n and H962 are both dual sim and only differ in the stock LTE bands supported (which we can activate with root now anyway making them pretty much identical).

Are the H961n and H962 both made in Asia as a user on the V10 screen cracking thread reported an LG shop had said to him USA made V10's were not as well built as those made in Asia and this could be causing screen cracks due to poorer tolerances in the USA versions manufacturer. Being in Ireland getting it repaired after purchase will be a problem so any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.
[LG V10 General] magicbb:
I follow this guide from remixtech to encrypt my rooted v10:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/howto-encrypt-decrypt-phone-rooted-t3200256

After you click the encrypt phone function in the Fingerprints & security menu, the phone will restart. It will stay in the LG logo screen for a couple of minutes and look like it is stuck, so be patient. After a couple of minutes, it will start the encryption process.

Let me know if you have further questions.
