Nothing on Windows 10 yet, going to try after work tonight in-between the trick or treaters. Windows 7 is working after I reinstalled the Nexus USB driver Google provides.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Darriousx:
Hm.. I don't know if that's it because I haven't received any updates on my Tmo v20 variant. But build is NRD90M

Let me know how it goes. It's working great on my laptop (Windows 10), but can't get it to work on PC (also Windows 10)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] yugendreams:
OP just mocked me for asking for help. I think we're better off waiting for other users who actually want to assist.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Kief_haring:
That's crap. Lol. I can't even get fastboot to recognize the phone... I wanted to redo the whole process starting with unlocking the bootloader.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
It looks like I am about a couple more days from trying this. In the meantime, I'll just get another bucket of popcorn. This is quite entertaining.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] vibrantliker:
I hear you. Waiting for the "rooting the LGV20 for dummies" version.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
I'm not sure I need the Dummies version. The instructions seem to be fairly straightforward. I'm just curious as to how many ways they can **** up.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] vibrantliker:
I've been on Samsung for so long I'm used to odin for rooting, etc. Not a lot of experience with adb commands.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] rickberg:
Yes you installed systemwide adb at some point in time and are trying to run the compressed version that was posted here

Reinstall the system wide adb and youll be fine
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
We needed a couple of adb commands to get root on the Note 4. Once upon a time we used it a bit on the first two HTC phones I had. I can muddle my way around it. I also can follow directions which is something that seems to be in short supply here.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] rickberg:
Guys not sure if this helps at all I am on a sprint variant and I was able to execute it all last night with two issues one coukd not get chmod 0777 * to take and the apply_patch boot command didnt work either

But as for the reboot and logcat everything was succesfull

The op said he updated binaries since last night hopefully he can look at those and figure out what went wrong

However getting any response or advice from him has been next to none I chalked it up to being a sprint user
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] justthefacts:
I think he's deep sleep now. You got to give him time to wake up have a cup of coffee and dig into this further
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] zabracks:
I'm firmly under the impression that there are problems with the procedure as written, even for TMO phones. I've tried it a couple of times with bad results, and I'm not a dumb guy -- I'm a developer, for god's sake, this is what I do.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] vibrantliker:
Same for the Note 7, needed a few adb commands. I'll look for your comments when you get set up.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pro_granade:
Can you upload the binaries from last night?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] rickberg:
Unforunatley no i didnt delete them i over wrote them however I am having the stuck at splash screen issue as well with the new ones
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] yugendreams:
Most of the people here seemed to have followed the instructions. Users are reporting the same errors and I am pretty familiar with adb, it's how I've achieved root on nearly even phone I've owned.

What I find frustrating is so many more experienced users, who may have figured out the issues, just sitting back and condescendingly laughing at those of us who are spending hours trying to figure this out on our own. When we ask for help we're mocked, ridiculed or ignored.

The smugness gets old real quick.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bambam126:
So how do i boot into recovery without adb cause I'm stuck on the lg boot screen
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] rickberg:
Even though I am on a sprint device this isnt a following directions issue this is a issue with the updated binaries issue as evident in the picture I had no problem getting it to run last night minus a few issues

However now i cant get past the reboot step without it freezing at splash screen only change has been binary changes as posted by op
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lightninbug:
Yeah well at least you guys got as far as you did... I can't even unlock my bootloader... Windows won't recognize my fastboot command for OEM unlock.. stays stuck on waiting for device.. me and this guy have the same problem.. T-Mobile user as well..
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Sistum Id:
That worked for me
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
You learn best by figuring things out for yourself.

I don't have any insights as to what the problems are. My "experience" tells me not to rush out and root my phone at the first drop of a procedure. My "experience" is to watch others flail around and gain wisdom from their ****ing up. My "experience" is then to read the entire thread, read it again, and maybe read it a third time before trying it myself. I see nothing to be gained by rushing into this.

The reason people who might know how to make this work won't help is because no one will do a search... to the point where they end up repeating themselves ad nauseum. I provided "tech support" for the Note 4 folks. I won't do it again. It's way too aggravating.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] poczynek:
I think it is unfair to compare people who simply don't 'search' for simple answers in threads with what is happening here. With most of XDA the simplest of questions are repeated again and again and one search will give you the answer. This is different. I do not think that simply reading it multiple times will give you the answers to some of the questions in this thread.

This is obviously quite a detailed and tricky way to root and install recovery with multiple sets of instructions. I have read all of the posts and am still hesitant when i get my V20 to do any of it until a simpler solution is available.

However is there is a solution to some of these issues that somebody can help then why not?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] yugendreams:
having the same issue. Just keeps looping this. every 20s.

Because some people would rather be smug and arrogant than helpful and kind. Go figure.

I don't ask for help until I'm completely stumped. One of the reasons I hate asking for help is because the first assumption made by most people, even if it's a very unique issue like this, assume you did nothing and treat you like a moron.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
Which is why my "experience" tells me to sit on the sideline and wait. And watch with entertainment those that won't take that simple advice.

What's the big rush? People cream themselves with the hint of root without considering all of the ramifications.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bambam126:
Yeah I got a bootloop my mistake computer wont see phone in download mode. So now idk what to do
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] poczynek:
Yep fair point and i agree with waiting.

But I ain't watching 'with entertainment' people struggling and possibly (although highly unlikely) bricking their phones!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
I'm sorry, but I'm jaded by almost ten years here. If they can't wait for the process to smooth itself out... if they want to be test pilots without knowing which way is up... they deserve what they get.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] justthefacts:
We've all gone through this at some point of time. The ones that have learned the hard way are most likely the ones that have stayed on the sideline.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] alfadog77:
Just wanted to report the same thing multiple users have been facing, getting stuck at "adb logcat -s recowvery" with the same error everyone else is posting. Running Windows 10 64bit. Phone reboots fine after a battery pull.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] yugendreams:
You're a real piece of sh*t. I've been here for around 10 years as well. Knowing that people could possibly brick their phone isn't funny or amusing. I know that I am risking bricking my phone but I also have always tried to learn, experiment with new things and help test new exploits. You are actively discouraging that by mocking those who decide to test things and accumulate errors/bugs.

Maybe contribute something of substance rather than continually fellating your ego. No one here is impressed or cares about your "experience" when it cannot translate into anything useful like "help" or "empathy."
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lightninbug:
What fastboot drivers did u install? See a couple posts before yours.. lots of people are having issues with fastboot windows 10 x64 drivers.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
Saw it, accidentally put a ! in a condition I shouldn't have, reversing it, while I was shortening things. Will have new binaries up within the hour.

I guess this is why I should use revision/versioning...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Darriousx:
Haha, you're the best! ;)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] thatisandwas:
Do you think that's whats causing the issues?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
I am. Don't try to root until it's smoothed out.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] zabracks:
Thanks [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]! I knew there was something off when I was reading the source.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] alfadog77:
I used the adb self installer v1.4.... located on xda. Whatever drivers came with that are the ones i'm using. Seems like it's a coding issue with the binaries than with people's operating system.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lightninbug:
I believe you are thinking about the crash screen users were reporting.. this is before that.. some people can't even unlock T-Mobile bootloader due to windows 10 not installing the correct fastboot drivers, not letting you self-update them. Installs the fastboot drivers as "kadecom bootloader interface"
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] poczynek:
Yes but it appears that the problem could never have been accomplished through 'searching' ... as the OP has now provided some info.

Anyway, sorry to go OT - thanks again to the OP who has worked on this and other phones in being the first to do a lot of things but gets bugger all credit for it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Sistum Id:
Not sure what I am missing. But I cant push the dirtycow file. My device is connected and seen by adb. Just says no such file or directory.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
I never said searching could solve this particular problem. Reading the thread... which I also recommended... might have kept the less foolhardy from even trying.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bambam126:
Ok quick question both phones have root how come one v20 comes up in lgup but my bootloop one wont and its in dl mode
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] motojdm:
I'm sorry... but what are you contributing to the development on this phone? AFAIK, the op is one of the only xda members actively contributing to the knowledge base around here.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] poczynek:
Hey sorry for sort of perpetuating this back and forth - if ok can no more comments about this be posted? That way we can get back to what this thread is about before a Mod deletes it.

Thanks and sorry once again.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] yugendreams:
Im contributing to the development by testing, replying to issues I can help with and posting any information I can that contributes to the conversation.

I'm trtrying to help vs. being an elitist prick that literally is wasting post space mocking mocking those who are trying and offering absolutely nothing because he doesnt even plan on using this exploit pr helping to test anf troubleshoot.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] douger1957:
Au contraire, stuttering one. I do plan to use it... when the process flows a little better.

And test? I need my phone. I need it to work. I need it not to bootloop or shut down at inopportune moments. I'm not a guinea pig.

But if you think it's important to be the root commando... knock yourself out.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pro_granade:
I think I speak for everyone watching this thread. Can both of you guys grow up and either take your arguement(s) to PMs or just shut up please? I want this thread to stay here so I can get updates about the root situation. However you two are ruining it for everyone viewing this thread. Cut it out, please.

This worked for me, after playing around with numerous other drivers for over an hour.

Traced my issue to Windows 10 and its automatic driver updates. If I shut off my internet, the default Google driver worked in fastboot. But as soon as I reconnected to the outside world, it would install a newer version and break fastboot.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jun19inf:
That's because you are using the actual source files from gitHub instead of the pre-built binaries. At beginning of this post he provides a link to the pre-built binaries for "recowvery". I attached a picture to guide you.

Yeah op made some changes after that but they had a mistake so he is redoing the binaries.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
I just saw some message on how I got passed the crash screen, and if everything said successful. I don't recall a crash screen; but I was stuck on a tmobile icon screen for a while. I just did each command in order and waited.

also, windows users, especially windows 10, if you click inside the cmd window, or press a button in it, you can effectively pause the printout which may make it seem like a command is taking ages. try clicking inside again or pressing one of the arrow keys if it seems a command is "stuck".

You will see the warning about your device being corrupt on every reboot once the bootloader was unlocked in fastboot. Eventually we'll get a custom kernel that suppresses the message, but nothing to worry about.

Hi, question, after unlocking the bootloader, do you flash twrp right away ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pro_granade:
Alright. So, with the bootloader locked, it will not load the custom recovery (temp Permissive boot). It will try to load it, says the error I posted before, then reboots normally. If I hold Power + Vol Down, it'll try to boot recovery, giving the error again, until I let it boot normally. When it gets to Android OS, it's Enforcing, and recovery is flashed back to stock. There are my notes! :)

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
