Downgrade to v10d and root since there is no anti-rollback and root from there, then flash what ever you want... At least on LG-H918
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
Wait, there's no anti-rollback on 10i? That's great!

I tried to restore from a backup now I'm stuck at lg logo is there a fix ? I haven't figured out how boot into twrp
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ZDeuce2:
Power off (remove battery if necessary)

Press and hold both volume down and power button

When you see the LG logo on screen release only the power button and repress (do not release volume down key)

Hold both till you see factory reset screen

Select yes for everything that pops up, (two times) this will not factory reset if you have installed TWRP correctly, and it will boot into recovery (TWRP)

Saddly battery life isnt that good for me. I was trying the NRD90 rom and it was great there. But here my battery drains pretty fast. I have done several cleans to the cache and dalvik too. Also reflashed the rom 2 more times. But the result is the same... Anyone else with the same issue? I can say my battery drains about 60-65% faster than on NRD90 or the stock firmware.

Hi guys. I rooted my v20 successfully quite a while back. I'm still on the stock ROM but want to try some of the custom stock ones and maybe try out the kernels. I went into TWRP and was unable to do a backup. It failed. I don't remember what steps I did when I originally flashed TWRP so it might still be encrypted. I searched and didn't find anything but maybe I didn't search hard enough. Anyways, I want to flash the latest version of TWRP and then some roms but I really prefer to do a nandroid first. Any recommendations?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ZDeuce2:
Find and download the latest version of TWRP for LG-H918 (3.2.0.1 I believe) and flash the image in TWRP. Then try it again, earlier versions had a problem with the backups failing.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BROKEN1981:
I have 2 questions, first, how do I roll back to 10d? Second, can I use flash fire to take OTA's? I know it works on most devices.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] srimay:
ive been messing with this for bit now. i got the process to work once, it booted into twrp and formatted data, i forgot to have a copy of superuser zip on my sdcard. i attempted to do it though the script, but it didnt take. After i rebooted to system, i found that i lost twrp in favor of stock recovery. ive been trying countless times to get this process to work again, but no such luck.

when it says checking that the exploit files exist, it keeps saying "FAILED... you seem to be missing one or more files in the "exploit" directory. Please download and extract a fresh copy of easyrecowvery then try again.

well, i keep downloading and trying, and it keeps failing. i dont get it. it worked in the beginning, i had twrp on the phone, i just lost it after a reboot, no big deal i thought. Ill just run it again. but thats not happening. im using minimal adb and fastboot, i cant figure out why it worked earlier, but now it wont. i tried earlier releases of the script, and some of them say they cant find the path or adb.exe, but i can open adb and send commands to the phone to reboot it. sorry about the fragmented sentences and if some of this sounds weird while reading it. its late and im tired and frustrated

[MENTION=2961139]bezeek[/MENTION] have any input? I'm gonna try from a different computer tonight and report back
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Koont:
Make sure you download everything in the same directory/path as your terminal/CMD. i.e. C/user. Had the same issues until I figured that out 6 hours later.

I tried installing root from a different computer and the same thing still happens. I still have stock recovery though, I'm not sure what could be borked. Phone works and everything else is OK. I just can't root with this method and install twrp.

If it has a 10i at the end there is no root method at the moment. And as of right now we cannot downgrade.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
Do we not have a 10d firmware image? Someone said there's no anti-rollback on 10i.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Norcal232001:
We only have the TOT file for that image. The issue is we also need a specific dll file for our phones to flash that image but lg has not released that file. If we had a kdz file then we could but I doubt lg will release these files need to downgrade to 10d.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
So there's no way to downgrade?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Norcal232001:
As of right now no. Unless someone knows something I don't.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Norcal232001:
So I saw this on another thread. See the last post. 10i may still be able to be rooted.

Very interesting! Then why are we being told it can't be done? Who started all this and why if we are able to after all. Would like to know if anyone on 10i can confirm?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Norcal232001:
I am on 10i. And tried the method on the thread I linked. I was able to get root with TWRP flashed and working. I am now running cmremix. It still works for 10i. It was [MENTION=2887715]kibmikey1[/MENTION] who tried it on the other thread first yesterday. We all assumed that trying with the security update would brick our phones so no one wanted to risk it. Kibmikey tried and it worked. I tried last night and can confirm that it worked for me also when I was on 10i.

Once your bootloader is unlocked and you've put a recovery.img (i.e. the TWRP from this thread) onto your internal storage, option 1 or 2 will do all the work required to get TWRP up and running. The only difference between them is that option 2 disables selinux. The rest of the tools are provided just for convenience.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] digitalart:
How we do that, put recovery into internal storage. I though that this script doing this

And what about SU after all done. I heard that is hard to get to recovery later and su should be flashed in recovery later or am i wrong

Yeah. We don't have a 10d KDZ, so 10i is the only option. Like I said, though, you don't have to worry about losing the ability to root, since the 10i security patch is Dec 1, 4 days before the Cirty CoW security patch. It's been confirmed rootable.

It hangs at

adb shell reboot recovery

I get the lock bootloader software screen and the no command screen. I pull the battery and am able to boot back back in, but I cannot flash TWRP.

I wish I could say this worked properly but there is another thread here that goes over step by step on how to root the latest firmware. You have to do it manually through ADB and it's all CMD instructions. So if you're a previous Sammy user like myself it can be a slight learning curve. It does work though, just be patient.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Worglers2:
Honestly, this is so simple coming from Samsung. Probably even easier.

Idk who it was. But whoever has the issue of the OS installing over TWRP. Just disable security integrity under extra options and flash again. And you'll have TWRP. The problem was, I never formatted data to rid of default encryption methods.

Advice. Read the thread a bit. Re read the instructions over a few times. And it's fool proof.

Also Idk if it makes it apparent. But you run this easy recowvery with the PHONE ON.

Only thing you do when phone is off, is bootloader unlocker. Otherwise. Do it with the phone on... Sorry if this has been clarified or totally noobish. It's for people coming from Samsung Odin.
