Yes manually then reverted back to stock and gave that phone to wife cuz her s7 edge screen cracked .I'm done with that phone .Went with a pixel .Oh and I think it's j .That's what I reverted to .
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ippolito1971:
FYI - J is the newest software. I is the original software that came in the device. From what I read you can root with either I or J as the rom/kdz/kernel didn't change. Imo the device is fast and if your into audio yes it'd your thing. For me it's OK at this point. I am waiting for the Note8 and pixel 2. I'm using a note 5 and the V20 now, both not rooted but considering plunging on the V20. Anyways just my 2 cents LOL.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] snipestech:
I was on j but unable to root in a text to Jake via Facebook he said it may be one of the updates (You know the small ones )

I had the note 5 great phone but I just want plain stock .When the pixel 2 comes out I'll probably switch .I've always liked Google phones but I feel this is the first time they are truly up to par with everyone else .
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] teads:
I'm currently on 10d with sept 1 patch, (h918)

If I install this automatic update that is prompting everytime I restart, will is brick my device, unroot it, cause it to explode?

I would like the newest patch if necessary, and then root it (manually if that's the only way to).
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
If you're not rooted the update should go fine. 10j is rootable.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] teads:
Sorry, should have been clear, I am rooted and I used this tool to root.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
I might just be too cautious, but I'd recommend avoiding OTAs if you've rooted. Better to flash a custom ROM like OvrDriVE's or WETA.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ippolito1971:
I'm going with the S8+ and the Note8 for now. I'll consider the pixel2 when I get more info. I do favor Samsung Amoled displays among other things.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] snipestech:
I had the note 5 great phone but as always Samsung over does it with bloatware .The pixel has an Amoled display .I am happy with the pixel and as long as Google keeps up the good work I'll continue using thier phones .

Which stock version were you on when you tried this? It only works on 10d. If you were on 10i or 10j, it won't work. You have to do the full manual mode and there is a thread for that. If you just got your phone it was probably 10j.

You may have to go back to stock. Here is how to do it for 10j:

Correct, you must be on 10d. Even so, I recommend doing it manually If you hunt around, there is a guide that someone put together the makes it real clear how to do it (not the original guide from jcadduano). Someone also made a video.

read the 1st post and the linked threads included in it. There's also a youtube video (about 20 minutes long) showing it being done to kinda help guide you along.

V20 Stuck after option 2

Hello everyone, I have used this site for over a year now, just never needed to post anything because you guys are always so thorough in your explanations. However, I have run into a problem with this process. I have OEM unlocked my phone, ADB is running, I have access to everything through ADB. After I select option 2 in the menu, I get this:

Running in permissive exploit mode

Press any key to continue...

...Making sure we're good to go...

Checkign permissions in the EasyRecowvery directory...Checking that the exploit files exist...FAILED!

You seem to be one or more files in the "exploit" directory.

Please download and extract a fresh copy of EasyRecowvery, then try again.

Press any key to continue...

I have re-downloaded it 3 times and have received the same result. Any help would be appreciated.

I have looked in the exploit folder and I have the following files:

dirtycow

recowvery.sh

recowvery-app_process64

recowvery-applypatch

recowvery-run-as

What could possibly be missing from this?

Thanks again...

This tool was designed for 10d firmware. If you have 10i or 10j it won't work. You'll have to do it manually.

LG backup/revovery

I want to root my V20 but I would like to keep all of my data, media, settings, etc. I was planning on backing up and recovering using LG Bridge on my computer but now I am wondering if it will restore properly after the device is rooted. Anyone know if this will work and if not, is there a better way to backup and restore everything?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] androiddiego:
I used the LG Backup app and backed up to the sd card. Didn't lose anything.

No. You have to do it manually. Use the thread here: https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594

There are other tutorials floating around that are a little more helpful.

Now, if you have the 10k update, it may be a different story. This method has worked for firmware up thru 10j.

And don't use easyrecowvery. It only works for the initial version firmware that came on the phone back in Nov.

I don't have a computer so I need to do it locally on my phone . Is this possible? Anyone with any knowledge would be awesome thanks!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Norcal232001:
Did you make a backup of the stock room before you flashed RR? You could restore that and then flash magisk on top of that.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
NATF or Weta are the live ones... The rest on stock base have been abandoned due to devs moving on to different phones and they are on the latest updates. Just FYI
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] shadavis08:
I'm in the NATF thread now reading up sounds nice so far. Thanks!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Your welcome.. it's what I'm on now. Great rom. They both are
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] shadavis08:
Does everything work? What kind of stuff did he change or add to the rom? Second screen works?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Yes everything works. Few hiccups with GPS but nothing crazy bad. If you use Snapchat or Netflix or androidpay use the magisk option. If you don't then go with superSU. with kernels I recommend going with stock all the rest as you read up can be flashed after you've done some reading on them. He uses aroma which means you get to choose what you want. Nice detail. It's also said that this latest version (5.0) may freeze on you meaning you may have to do a battery pull and start over. No worries just do it and start again from TWRP. But with a battery pull you have to hold volume down first and while pressed and still pressed hold power button down and once you see LG screen let go of power button for a second then press again, now during this never let go of volume down button. Until you see TWRP. Then have at it again. Some have the freeze problem. Some don't. You know it froze when the bottom progress indicator stops. So with all this info your ready to rock and roll. Don't worry about a brick if followed as explained your good. Good luck
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Sizzlechest:
Just curious. Could he flash stock 10j using this method: https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903

Then he could root the stock 10j from scratch. Yes? Nothing against the two active roms, but just offering it as an option.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Yes using TWRP. You still need TWRP to flash root

I just tried to run the script with magisk in the zips folder but it said it couldn't find a working superuser file. Then I tried it with supersu and it said this doesn't look like a T-Mobile lgv20, would you like to continue anyway. I entered yes and then it said my device isn't unlocked even though I unlocked the bootloader 5 min before that.

Hey guys,

First off thanks for creating the tool to use to get this all done. I am running into 1 issue while running through this. I am getting an error stating failed to back up stock recovery, so TWRP does not install and I am unable to continue. Any suggestions on what step I amy have done wrong? I have TWRP on my SD card put it in internal and external renamed to recovery.img. I dont know what else to do I have run this about 10x now and do not want to brick. Phone boots and has a software update available but cannot enter TWRP. Any help would be great.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
I had the same problem long ago and I googled an alternate. I don't recall the link but it was more a step by step ADB commands guide to do it. It took half an hour or so but it worked. You can try that and follow it to the tee.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] stickjohnonaah:
That was the whole reason I went this route, I didn't want to mess with attempting all the fastboot commands lol! Guess I will give that a whirl
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jt1998:
Agree w above post. I had to use ADB commands as well to get it working.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] stickjohnonaah:
Whoo. That was the most in depth and nerve racking root I have ever done. I could have sworn I had SU on my SD, nope!! I was already in TWRP and didn't want to boot due to the dev comment of data corruption so I tried to ADB PUSH the zip and failed. I ended up pulling the SD card out putting it in the note and putting SU on the SD from the PC that way and then loaded SU in TWRP after mount and unmount of the SD again! WOW what a pain. My choices prior to deciding to go through on this was either root/rom the V20 or try to swap out for a pixel because I have to have root and see it looks like support is dying a bit. Oh well, time to play!!

Thanks again gents!

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] shadavis08:
10p IS rootable it's just anti rollback
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] androiddiego:
It's rootable if you are already rooted on an earlier version. You can flash the bootloader and modem, and then a stock rom extracted from the kdz for 10p. Then yes, you are rooted and on 10p.

But if you are fully updated to 10p, no root.

That's my understanding.

The script installs a recovery for you, but for several reasons I am not going to include one. For now, the latest (and only) recovery available is the one jcadduono built and posted in his thread. Just download it, rename it to recovery.img, and copy it to your phone like you would with any other file.

(Screenshots attached)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] hotstocks:
Bezeek, thanks for your work. Couple questions as I am just a Samsung intermediate flasher.

1)Should I take the OTA updates prior to this? I assume I will be stuck on the last OTA until roms come out and are flashable with newer stock OTA updates.

2)If I just want to be normal stock rooted with twrp, which option do I choose?

3)I don't know what permissive or selinex means. If I want to still be able to play Pokemongo and use Android pay and stuff, which option should I choose as in 2). I don't want to be stuck the wrong way. Also can I re-run the program and undo this or flash back to factory recovery?

Thanks again, because this seems hard when you can't just hold power,home, up and go into recovery or flash mistakes with odin.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] vibrantliker:
It looked like from your image in post 1 that 3 is the choice we should be going with?

Also, since the recovery file is already an .img file, we name it recovery, not recovery.img, correct?
