LG's bootloader unlock tool supports the LG V20 for the "US open market"

In closing, reading is fundamental, words have meaning, and questions are good. When posting definitive statements with out using the first two, just makes you an unknowing AssHat that clogs up the thread.

Reading is funamental as you chose to skip over the word MIGHT. Take yo sensitive ass somewhere else with that b.s.

I have been messing around, tinkering with trying to get root working and I was in stock recovery...

I used the adb sideload feature and it "served" correctly

It read everything correctly but the "whole-file signature" failed it...

does this mean it only needs to be signed with LGs key?

In that case it did give me a hash or SHA-1 of some sort..

I couldn't figure out how to save the log but it looked as if I had

LGs hash it was looking for and/or the wrong hash it had found...

Does anybody have any insight of what it could have been?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yes it needs to be signed and match your device..

also we are beyond that point.. we can flash kernel modules, modify init etc.. we just need to find a way to reload the files we push without crashing entire system.. we are getting closer n closer but not there yet
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
If any real devs are reading this and would like to help us out and take your bounty then we could really use your help!

Now that we have root access to init we need someone experienced in reversing the bootchain and finding vulnerabilities.

Hopefully someone needs the money wants money to donate to charity or is just bored and wants a new project will help us.

Lg v20 att h910...help please

Hello Everyone...

Please let me begin by saying thank you to you all on XDA what an amazing resource for one another and especially idiot novice like myself...lol...also I am sorry if I am going about this question incorrectly, I am not sure of the decorum. I have tried and failed very badly in the past to unlock and root several models including my lasy V10 H901 (now useless as a result) and now I have a LG V20 H910 from AT&T...I desperately need to unlock the phone so that I can use it with another carrier while I am at home in Canada for the next month on family business...I have LGUP and simply need idiot proof directions and the downloads...can anyone help PLEASE...Thanks in advance for your time and consideration...

G
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] c45h2012:
Unlocking the phone should be a simple build prop edit and the right apns thats how my g3 was note that you may not have required bands for lte
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
not sure this is the right thread for your question but i can say lgup will not help you at all...there are no instructions or downloads yet.. this is also a verizon discussion thread, not att lol

also, a "bootloader unlock" is not a "sim unlock" so it isnt what youre looking for...

lol you cannot change build prop and have it stick without unlocking the bootloader first which isnt released yet.. he could also once released try the US996 firmware which should be unlocked unless its more to it than that..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] c45h2012:
Yeah need root to modify build prop but its super simple once root gets released
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hykhleif:
yeah so this is to tease us who own the international version great that is just awsome to be bitter :) and jealous
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sientz:
Oh Hell Yes!

I've been dealing with trying to ignore this stupid 'System update ready to install' for a few weeks now trying to keep my version number as low as possible (still on 11A (Oct 1st)). I've got two of these things ready to go as soon as this is released and some $ in the pipeline as well...

Power to the people!

[youtube]-FR-HEolx0k[/youtube]
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrtruckincowboy:
Very nice so to run properly we need to use 996 when we root?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadamKira:
Ware are you finding that information?

Aslo, are you refering to the software version? EX mine is vs99510b

I've been avoiding updating, in the hope of getting root.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
technically sprint is the only version that wouldnt run after unlocking.. i personally converted mine from the start but it did boot after flashing the unlocked BL and i had service

We tested the method on 12A and 12A does not have patches that blocked the method used so it will still work.. i was on 10b when i used my phone to test so you are solid once released
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadamKira:
Would it be advisable to stay on 10b or take the ota?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
just stay on 10b if you can..

How hard is this process going to be for the average user? I've tried to root my note 3 a few times and it either never worked or bricked the phone and I had to use the Samsung software to get it back to factory. Is this going to be like a 20 step process including downloading software and hooking the phone to the PC etc or will it be a simpler process than most?

Act as if you're trying to explain this to someone who knows nothing about the topic of unlocking boot loaders...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vanemburghj:
I was going to ask elliwigy for permission to nuke you for your AssHat statement, but told myself screw that and just going to nuke you anyways. WHAT AN ASSHAT QUESTION YOU ASKED!!! If you don't know what you are doing than don't do it. Don't demand that folks cater to your level of stupidity so you don't brick YOUR phone. Clearly, this process will be more than a 1 click button, making it wwwwaaaayyyy above your intelligence level and YOU should not attempt it. Any time you root your device there is always the potential to brick it, that is the RISK YOU TAKE WHEN ROOTING

YOUR

PHONE.

Note: There is development on an one-click root apk for this device, its currently being developed, so please wait.(This has been halted until the dev for the H915 finishes messing with his device)

Thanks for being your **** headed self and letting everyone know the real you.

There are many different ways of rooting a phone and some are harder than others. I have always understood the risks and even though I wasn't able to get my other phone rooted I never bricked it to a point beyond being able to recover it.

Did you know what you were doing the first time you rooted your phone? I highly doubt it and I also doubt that I'm the only person on here that is trying to learn.

Thanks for your understanding....feel free to keep your rude comments to yourself in the future.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Based on all the work needed like formatting data(which can only be done from twrp) we may not be able to do the one click app. If we do the app as of right now it will get you up to step 3 on the guide
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
im not even going to get involved between you two lol

but i did want to say there is no way it can ever be a one click root.. i was in thr group from the start and the first vzw tester and was involved in the process as i provided ideas and was there for the back and forth process..

The reason it cannot be a one click is because it involved commands on the device as well as adb and fastboot.. of course it could be made to simplify it but theres no way to 1 click
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sientz:
I didn't expect it to be one click, I just copy and pasted that from the Dirty Santa thread that said there is development on a one click root.

The point is there are different ways to root different devices, some harder than others and I didn't expect to be chastised for asking how difficult or easy it was going to be, I guess my mistake was not just waiting for the process to be laid out in detail before asking.

minimal root user

i only root to get wifi tether... thats pretty much it.. im really happy with stock roms if i get bored i use my launchers like nova launcher. i ordered the v2o from verizon and it comes tomorrow. im returning it unopened. i cant be having an unsupported device by the developing community
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
Define unsupported? There seems to be plenty happening, and certainly able to root a V20 for hotspot access (I just did mine tonight). I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we start seeing even more custom roms but there's already stuff in the works. Guess I just don't know what you're scale of "unsupported" is.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] imucarmen:
Maybe he's used to the big selling samsung devices that have so much dev work going on you can't keep up with it all. The v20 seems to have a good amount of dev work going on though. My almost year old G3 still have custom Roms and kernels being made. Sometimes these devices get even more attention after being out for a while because they become so cheap and a lot of people don't buy devices while they are new because they are so overpriced.

So far I'm very pleased with how much attention the dev community is giving the v20.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
True, but at the same time, I'll say if they're only basing their want of rooting on the wifi, then I certainly don't see the reason to send it back for a lack of support, since tethering has been open with root just fine. And the stock roms will do it and well.. that's kinda all they asked for. lol. I can understand if people are hesitant to try the process, and for sure, if it's something they aren't comfortable with doing, I can agree with holding off in favor of something, IF that something is more easily cracked into.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] imucarmen:
Yea it seems they don't realise tethering works. Don't know how they got that impression but whatever. The V20 is an excellent device imo. I had a Note 7 still for 6 weeks after I got my v20 and hardly touched it because I ended up liking the v20 more. The note 7 just lagged too much and would annoy me.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vincey2kr1:
Thinking about trading for the v20, what's the easiest way to achieve root for wifi tethering? I'm still on a grandfathered Verizon unlimited data plan. Have Samsung s7 with foxfi but it lags and well nougat cripples it so I haven't updated. I always thought lg was an easy root, but it seems those days are over just like Samsung?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wooddale:
Hi you do know Verizon has brought back unlimited plan much cheaper than you are paying now.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vincey2kr1:
Yeah but only 10gig on hotspot and 22 gigs then your throttled. I don't like 3g speeds but I'm looking into it. Is there a way to go over 10 gigs hotspot and trick them into thinking it's normal phone usage?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wooddale:
I didn't realize that I have 4 lines I think that was per line at least that's what I have been told. Plus I herd there doing the same thing on grandfathered also but you might know better than I. Although I haven't had a problem so far Thanks.

V20 has boatloader unlocked with full root with or without Magisk and TWRP.

Easy 3 steps-ish.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
you are ill informed.. theres a big difference between "throttled" and "deprioritized"

It is truely unlimited data but high data users are deprioritized only in highly congested times.. but with Verizons network I have not even noticed a difference lol and I am a very heavy data user streaming 1080p videos hours a day on my Verizon data..

basically no matter how much you use you are not "throttled" down to 3G until your cycle restarts..

I also think the hotspot is unlimited with only 10gb of high speed alotted then probably slowed to 3g only via hotspot but i could be wrong on that one

So is it still possible to unlock the bootloader of the Verizon variant of the V20? I'm going to be getting a new phone tomorrow, I was going to suck it up and get the Pixel 2 XL even though it can't be unlocked, then discovered there's a Lineage OS ROM for the V20 and instructions for unlocking the bootloader. I just wanted to see if anyone knew if Verizon had patched the ability to do this, or if I went and got one of these tomorrow if it was still possible.

Buy a US996 unlocked version...not the US Cellular version. You can unlock the bootloader thru LG and achieve root "easily".

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bond32:
You read wrong.

The Verizon V20 is "root-able", "downgrade-able", and fully capable of what you seem to want.

There must be some misinformation out there... No idea.

THE VS995 IS FULLY DOWNGRADABLE - THIS MEANS YOU CAN DOWNGRADE TO THE 12A OR 13A KDZ VIA UPPERCUT REGARDLESS OF WHAT VERSION THE PHONE IS CURRENTLY ON. AFTER DOWNGRADING ONE CAN RUN THE DIRTYSANTA EXPLOIT ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS.

Some advice: If you are on 14A up to the current 1AA and you use Uppercut to downgrade, I recommend you do the downgrade then after completion:

Pull Battery

Re-insert Battery

HOLD VOLUME DOWN WHILE HOLDING POWER BUTTON. WHEN YOU SEE LG LOGO, RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON (WHILE STILL HOLDING VOLUME DOWN) FOR 0.5 TO 1.0 SECOND, THEN HOLD POWER BUTTON AGAIN ALL WHILE KEEPING THE VOLUME DOWN HELD.

Do the reset/factory wipe

Wipe the data because Uppercut does not wipe user data - this causes a bunch of force-closes upon boot.

There are a bunch of threads on getting Uppercut or restoring/downgrading via Uppercut with KDZ files.
