Why do you want to downgrade? Root option?
[LG V10 General] Skye_High:
Dont find many benefits of mm and an ad blocker is tempting
[LG V10 General] thebiker:
Yes. Root is more importantant for me then 6.0.
[LG V10 General] skingg:
One issue I notice after upgrading to MM is that if I enable my phone as a hotspot device, it randomly turns off the hotspot service even with no timeouts set.

Thank you. It was successful. I flashed the original one and the rooted too.

Hi everyone, seems like the link for the root and guide is no longer valid on page 41, can someone kind enough to help me root. appreciate the help
[LG V10 General] DarkestSpawn:
Link is good on page 48

Also, anyone that upgraded to MM, did you see we have a bootloader now instead of download mode with the ability to unlock the bootloader ONLY if we get the unlock.bin file from LG. I've made a post on the LG Dev site hoping to be contacted on the H961Ns future possibility of it being unlocked.
[LG V10 General] jd.21:

[LG V10 General] deejay6901:
just got this phone the other day. my prvious phone was g4(marshmallow). tis phone is still on LP. are there any MM update available for flashing now? if yes please help me find the link and guide. (too lazy to read this 100+ pages ?)
[LG V10 General] coremark:
Since you're in the 961N thread, then yes, MM is already available. Just use LG bridge to update it if u can. If you need root, then stick with LL cuz there's no root for MM yet.
[LG V10 General] deejay6901:
no update for me when using lg bridge...:(
[LG V10 General] coremark:
Do the LG UP way and use this stock 961N kdz https://mega.nz/#!34ZWhIoA!zMMIPveaeaf5ROnIIKS42_bRYPeCh16vrOoRnB6grWYand and then you'll be on MM. I know I gave it to someone before and they did it this way with success.
[LG V10 General] addyhash:
i can get into download mode either...

- have unlocked developer menu and enabled OEM unlock.

- tried turning off, removing battery, waiting a minute or 2, refitting battery then holding volume up and power together, it just boots normally.

- tried the same as above but pressed volume up, refitted battery and plugged usb in.

dunno what im doing wrong :(
[LG V10 General] coremark:
Hmm. Strange. For me, I can easily get into download mode without removing the battery. I turn off the phone completely, press and hold the volume down button and then while held down, I plug it into a usb port and that's it, boots to download mode.
[LG V10 General] addyhash:
volume down? ...

Tried up and down. [emoji22]
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
No, I can't seem to find the link or guide either. I am totally confused with the TOT and KDZ and LGUP and DLL.

Did anyone post a guide and link for rooting which is still current? I have been through all 110 pages.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
It used to be on page 37
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
and pages 41 and 48 apparently. But unless I am missing something it's not.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I checked and page 37 didnt change, thats what I used to root and add LTE bands
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
but the link has been removed:

EDIT: Link removed. PM me for link.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Did you PM him :confused:
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
Yes of course I did. I just assumed it would be posted as a link on this thread. I would like to get this thing rooted before the weekend is over or I will have to wait until next weekend. I suppose I wil await his response.
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
So my V10 took it right in the face, landed on a small piece of gravel on a concrete floor. Cracked the screen. Being the H961N version, and me being in Canada, do I have to order the version specific screen/digitizer from eBay, or can I use one from another source, say in the States?
[LG V10 General] tempurastyle:
My uneducated guess is, the screen part is the same across all V10 versions. Maybe you can ask the LG service for clarification.
[LG V10 General] addyhash:
what does the download screen lock like,

i managed to get a screen called imei display to pop up with a barcode?
[LG V10 General] addyhash:
Finally got it... dunno what i did differently , but it was volume up connect usb and then put battery in I think...

weird...
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
For this step all the DIV #6829 config is greyed out but I can only select one band at a time. When I try to select another the first band de-selects itself so I can't match the 6828 config. I do not have a second SIM in but others have mentioned that this is not relevant. Any ideas?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Well, nothing to do, small problem with dialer, couldnt resist, upgraded to MM :o

Used LGUP upgrade, no issues, everything is as it was, including LTE band 20, I am pleasentely surprised :good:

Of course no root :rolleyes:

converting h962 to h961n

is it possible to install h961n .tot rooted file into h962 without any problem?. anyone tried?.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Why would you want to do that ???
[LG V10 General] jd.21:
actually i thought to buy h961n... so before buying i downloaded all the h961n stuffs(.tot, kdz, etc.,). i ordered mobile online but unfortunately i received the h962. and now am little bit lazy to download the h962 tot file and have no time to do that. so only i asked is it possible to convert h962 to h961n.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Cammon, how long does it take, it takes longer to ask ;)
[LG V10 General] jd.21:
ha ha ha... but am out of my city and here the net connection is too slow. it'll take hours to download the required files. please tell me is it possible or not.

anyone here please answer me.
[LG V10 General] Lord Sekhmet:
I am about ready to root. Can anyone tell me about the dual SIM switch and dual SIM widget so I can back it up? I am hoping to reinstall it with Titanium Backup after rooting.

Also, any tests you want me to do before root?

LG V10 H962 Ting (Tmobile-ish)
[LG V10 General] melorib:
And how do you backup before rooting ?

I did LGbackup before root and restore after, most settings where recovered
[LG V10 General] Lord Sekhmet:
Thanks, I'll do that.
[LG V10 General] Lord Sekhmet:
LGUP won't recognize I even have my V10 plugged in. I even removed the battery while LGUP was running and replaced it. Also I can't get Download Mode to work. I tried the Hardware Key Control Mode and got my MEID in barcode, not Download Mode.

I haven't tweaked anything yet. Weird stuff should happen when I change things, not before. :confused:
[LG V10 General] melorib:
You dont need download mode nor removing anything, follow the LGUP install instructions, something missing
[LG V10 General] addyhash:
I turned off, took battery out plugged in usb, refitted battery and held volume up. Took a lot of attempts [emoji15]
[LG V10 General] Lord Sekhmet:
I reinstalled LGUP & LG Mobile Driver. Used the charging cable that actually came with the V10 and used a different USB outlet.

I HAVE ROOT

I also tried to enable LTE bands.

Bands before 1,3,7,8,13,28,38,39,40,41

After 1-44 (All greyed out in DFS) Did I do something wrong? Nobody gets 100% of the bands.

Xposed install failed. :(
[LG V10 General] skingg:
A quick question, does LGUP/Flashtools only work on USB 2.0 and not 3.0?
[LG V10 General] Lord Sekhmet:
Xposed works. I don't know how I did it. If anyone is reading, I did try to install it from the PlayStore after failing to flash it with FlashFire.
[LG V10 General] addyhash:
B28 700MHz ( telstra Australia ) working in real world.

after step 12, i recommend restarting your phone, i lost signal after testing bands in hidden menu , restarted phone all good.

[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Hello addyhash.

If after testing the bands in the hidden menu you experience signal loss, chances are you haven't done step 9 and/or step 10 properly, especially the second parts of those two steps. People tend to ignore/give up on properly configuring the LTE BC Config DIV LTE #6829 and RF BC Config settings when it's not working for them during their first couple of tries, thinking that they can get away with it. Sometimes they can, if they're lucky, but most of time, across the board (and across the bands, any bands at all, even stock enabled), signal loss happens. I recommend you redo the entire LTE bands unlocking/enabling procedure if you encounter any further signal loss.

Have you tested LTE Band 28 (700 MHz) with the LTE Discovery app? Would you mind posting a screenshot of the LTE Discovery app scanning LTE Band 28 (700 MHz)? We don't have LTE Band 28 (700 MHz) documented yet.

Thanks a lot!

Hey mel!

How are you? Doing fine?

That's fantastic news and a mightily underrated comment you got there, man!

It would seem that LG V10 MM doesn't update the device's internal flash memory sectors where its modem/baseband firmware settings are located, which is most likely the reason why the unlocked/enabled bands have persisted through the OS update.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback!

I'll be sure to update my Guide for unlocking/enabling LTE bands on a rooted LG V10 H961N/H962 Dual SIM with that crucial piece of information sometime soon!

How did you backup your phone apps' data and settings before upgrading to MM?

How are you finding MM so far?

Thanks a lot!
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Hi Bro,

I backed-up with Lgbackup, but didnt use it as I did update, not refurbish, everything was there minus root :good:

So far no problems, but no significant change either, maybe even smoother, battery drain over night is the same 5%, first day I didnt stop using it, stll have 40% ;)
[LG V10 General] melorib:
A very interesting, and usefull, thing happened with MM update, it kept disabled all the apps I had frozen with Titanium Backup, wich wont work without root,of course :good:
[LG V10 General] jd.21:
thanks for the reply. ok. so there's no way now i've to download and install the h962 .tot.

btw, do you know any reason why not possible to install?. both h962 and h961n hardwares are same i think.
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
What messages are displayed in the log? please post if you can.

When I ran through the procedure I had the same issues as you.

DIV #6829 invalid variable or something like that.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Reboot

Since I rooted the phone and installed xPosed I get this screen every time I reboot. The strange thing is that I still get it after updating to Marshmallow, I just touch the back button and it displays home screen :confused:

Can anyone put up an screenshot from DFS on CDMA/GSM/HSDPA bands that is original enable on h961n

Thanks in advance ;)
[LG V10 General] run4jit:
That one was for Lollipop.

I was unaware that we have MM for H961N :eek:
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
I thought they were all checked including the WiFi.

Can you please post a copy of your log, I'd love to know if the LTE_BC_Config_DIV variable is active on your device.

Here are the default LTE bands.

[LG V10 General] freddey:
can not select check boxes in LTE_BC_Config_DIV

Thanks for the list .....

No my problem is that i can not select more than one band in LTE_BC_Config_DIV i have no clue how to solve this.

I have made one v10 before and that was no problem with ....

Hi,

You have the same issue as me, the variable is inactive, writing has no effect.

22:20:46] [Free, Operative, Warning] Read NV Item (LTE_BC_Config_DIV) VARIABLE_WAS_NOT_ACTIVE

I'd like to know who the original author of this procedure is. I was lead to believe writing to this variable was critical but it would appear that it does not even exist on this model of phone.

Thanks ever so much, for the data, I just hope someone on here that knows a little bit more about this can shed some light.???????????????
[LG V10 General] freddey:
Yea thats strange BUT this is an H961N ..... Please tell me if you got any solution on this problem
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
Another thing I've discovered.....

The variables NV6828 and 6829 are always the same for LTE bands anyway.

See attachment

View attachment 3728598
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
I have an H962, mine is Taiwan, yours us HongKong. I have one more band activated by default than you do but other wise they are the same. Hardware identical.

I don't know what the answers is to this but I'm pretty sure you're wasting your time. You're trying to talk to something that doesn't exist.
[LG V10 General] freddey:
yes it looks so but can you select several checkboxes in LTE BC Config Div #6829 ?
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
I'd depends on the version of DFS tools you're using. Older versions would let you check all the box's you want but nothing was written to the phone and doing this had no effect whatsoever. The latest version of DFS tools deliberately stops you from being able to check box's if the variable is inactive in order to make you aware that it's not active.

IMHO nobody on here has managed this, they just think they have cause they didn't read the DFS event log.
[LG V10 General] freddey:
Hmm that sux..
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
Don't lose any sleep over it, youre in the same boat as everyone else. let's just hope someone on here can explain.

I think this procedure was originally written for the G4 which appears to have this variable activated.
[LG V10 General] freddey:
Yes i know that time will usually solve problems ....
[LG V10 General] run4jit:
Yay!! Received my phone today and rocking Marshmallow on Day one! :laugh::fingers-crossed::highfive::D
[LG V10 General] melorib:
How do you explain that it does confirm band 20 on the hidden menu :confused:

It showed band 20 on LTE Discovery too with root, without root it cannot identify LTE bands, just shows the signal strength :rolleyes:
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
I cannot explain this either. My added bands show success too and show up as being used when using LTE discovery app.

I'm simply saying that writing data to 6829 div is not possible which is strange as it was stated to be crucial in the original posted procedure.

I don't know what the implications are but I'd love to know
[LG V10 General] melorib:
My added bands show success too and show up as being used when using LTE discovery app Isnt that enough ;)
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
Have you tried running 2 Sims yet?

Getting both Sims working at the same time is very cumbersome.

My primary contract sim is for a 3g/4g network (no GSM) which operates on the 2.1 GHz band. Data throughput is amazingly fast but coverage is patchy.

My second sim is a Pay as you go sim which is 2g/3g/4g and has a lot of 900Mhz coverage which is great for those remote areas.

In order to get my second sim to connect, I have to use it for data or it will not work which is not what I want to do.

I can get my second sim to connect if I type *#546368#*962# into the dialer and go into field test, modem settings, network mode and assign sim 2 to use GSM 900 MHz.

As soon as I turn my phone off and on again or use aircraft mode I have to do this again. It's a PITA!!!

In a nutshell, I'm getting lots of strange behaviour when using 2 sims but I do have my extra LTE bands.

If I were to use sim 1 only I'd probably not notice this issue as was warned in the original procedure.

I'd simply like to know from the author or anyone else on here why the discrepancy between to procedure and reality.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I used 2 SIMS in Liberia, before rooting, no problems, but no LTE there :rolleyes:
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
so do we have to do anything with the 6829 box? I got lost in all the threads.

I can select band 20 (the one I want for UK) in 6828 but all greyed in 6829. Do I just select 20 and write in 6828 and that's it? I don't want to cause issues. I now have 2 SIMs installed.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I selected the same bands for both, bands in black and blue
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
I can only select one band at a time for 6829. As I select a second it deselects the first.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Something wrong...
[LG V10 General] interruptingcow:
agreed haha

see the image attached. 6828 allows me to select multiple items
[LG V10 General] melorib:

I am using DFS version 16.2.3.0, which allows you to tick more than one item in LTE BC config DIV LTE #6829, so i matched ticks with #6828, if i disconnect, reconnect and re-read, they are all ticked and greyed out.

In the hidden menu, b28 700 says success, but i can't reproduce in 'real world' i tried sending a mms in an area where 4g is transmitting, but only the 3g logo popped up :(
[LG V10 General] tickertapes:
Try downloading the LTE discovery app, it's brilliant at sniffing out those weak LTE signals.

I think the instruction to write data to the LTE_BC_Config_DIV variable was a bit of a red herring although no harm done ;)

Do you by any chance have a record or some screen shots of the original CDMA/GSM/HSDPA screens? I think I have messed mine up somewhere along the way.

It cannot do 4G/3G at the same time.

If one sim is in 3G/4G mode the other sim defaults to 2G.

Didnt pay attention to it missing LTE 700/800 mhz, apparently most carriers are now using them because they reach further :o
