i just dont understand why ppl come into this thread asking about h990ds when you have your own bounty thread.. it causes confusion and clutter and everyones already pming the dev and everyone else involved when its been clear its not being worked on by any of us..

i understand youre upset your model isnt rooted but theres nothing we can do about it is all im saying.. that device is out of our hands entirely and to be honest were no jcase or beaups intelligent devs, we got a debug bootloader and used dirty cow to write it.. of course theres a lot more to it then that but for you h990ds users youd need to basically gain access to system in some way and find a vulnerability in the bootchain/bootloader which is above most of our experience levels...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ickyz:
Well, After the 9 Attemps it erased my phone

I first got into TWRP & didn't save SuperSu in my phone BIG MISTAKE. After I found out I could reenter Fastboot threw Vol- & Pluging in my device I was able to reflash TWRP(dunno why I couldnt access it after I went & installed SuperSu on my SDcard) & put it in my phone rebooted into recovery & tried to flash it, it didn't work said file was Corrupt! So after figuring out I could reenter FASTFOOT i redid steps to recovery TWRP & adb sideload'd SuperSu to find out theres no system

---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

All it does it reboot back into TWRP
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
You don't need to send a phone, just provide us a DEBUG Aboot from the international models, then most of the stuff will be adaptable. If not then there isn't really much that can be done for the international models.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
If it reboots to twrp theres either no system or it didnt decrypt properly. If you cant get it in an hour ill help you out. Im doing some things right now though
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
Maybe this would be a good time to make a thread for TWRP stock ROM dumps from our users? In case this happens to someone else, or they just need a fresh system.

Unless of course they are encrypted with a per-device hardware key :L (I know close to nothing about how Android handles encryption)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
That might work. If someone wants to do that go ahead. Use system backups from twrp
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
I'd be more afraid of personal data being leaked when backing up and sharing that backuo with other people.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
There is no personal data. Just a system backup since you cant backup data
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
With users here on xda anything can be possible. If Some people aren't careful (read as stupid) they may share a backup which has stuff like there /data partition inside, which does contain personal info.

All it takes is for a momentary lasp in judgement.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i think u misunderstood, you CANNOT back up data initially in TWRP due to encryption.. now if they set everything up after the process then back up in twrp then thats another story lol
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
Yea I was thinking in the context of the second one when posted. Oh well.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
As long as you're only backing up the /system partition, absolutely no user data or personal information could be obtained if you posted it online. Simply untick everything but the "system" partition in TWRP when backing up. If you do this, no one will be able to get any personal information from the resulting backup.

The /system partition is read only - by definition, it's merely a ROM. Users have no access to it. Apps are not installed there, and app data is not saved there. Any personal information would primarily be in the /data partition - that's certainly something you wouldn't want to share. But a system-only dump from TWRP is perfectly fine.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
I know that a system only dump is fine, I was stating the fact that some people will slip up or are stupid enough to share a twrp backup that including their /data partiton. :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
Oh. Yeah. That's actually pretty likely.

I must have interpreted it wrong then - I assumed it was a personal concern you had, barring you from posting a system backup for the user here who deleted his on accident. I was basically just trying to ease your concerns and assure you that everything would be okay XD
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
Dude that's fine, i probably would have done the same thing in your position. I was just stating that it wouldn't take much for a person to stuff up. XD
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
Yep.

Let this be a PSA for everyone:

If you're going to help us out and donate your /system backup, please make sure you don't backup your /data partition with personal information or bank login details!

Otherwise, we will steal your money!!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
If you guys feel like the op is satisfied you can start donating. Donations will go to me(donate to me button by my username) and ill spread it out. [MENTION=5365083]rickberg[/MENTION] will update the OP when he wakes up. He is just crazy busy with work right now. If you pledged go ahead and donate and PM me your name you donated from so we can mark you off the list.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
Glad to see the progress that has been made! Been busy and I forget about rooting my device pretty easily. So is it a full bl unlock with root?

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

And I plan on paying my portion of the bounty. Just need to move the funds into my primary account and it will bw on its way!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
Bu...bu...but I like sharing my moneyz with everyone.

But yea, before you uploadverify that you aren't uploading more then the /system partition.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlkaliV2:
So it's pretty late here, but I was committed to getting root installed and tested tonight...and I did. Method worked without any issues on my H910 and I'm harassing my system partition with TiBu as we speak. With that said, I wasn't part of the Bounty thread because I was on the fence about keeping the phone, but now I am definitely keeping the phone so my donation confirmations are below.

You all made a great team, thanks for making this possible for the V20 owners. :good:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Correct. It is BL unlock with Root. for all 3 devices. There was also a confirmation that the F800L works too but they did not confirm service worked as they did not have a Sim card in.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
Yeah awesome. So any dev can contact me and I'll provide what they need...

As some people are pretty sensitive about thread comments, I'll stick to my bounty thread, since this is for all models that are not the H990DS.

Cheers

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt07211:
Sorry I've ran out of thanks today.

But yea, if you do manage to get hold of a DEBUG Aboot (Bootloader) image (or test with the US debug image and risk a likely brick) give a shout-out to any of the people listed as contributors on the US root method page. The whole thing should be pretty adaptable, and should work untill Dirty cow gets patched.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] reaverclan:
So will the OP being updated once all variants have been settled or what, just trying to figure out who to donate to and when. I think I will wait for a one click if it comes as I need a whole day off work to make sure my phone still works after the procedure. Also does anyone know if the Dirtysanta will give us a ROM that has that software issue causing speaker distortion?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION], I have sent you a PM with my transaction details to confirm I have sent my pledged $50 bounty. Thanks for all your hard work! Hopefully most people that have pledged on here will stay true to their word.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
I have my pledge in hand. Will be depositing it to my primary account on my lunch break at work. Still waiting to see if I can get my phone unlocked and rooted. Having issues with fastboot recognizing my device and getting past step 3 of the boot1.img flashing. Hopefully I can get it worked out.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] reaverclan:

Alright, I paid up! Donation sent to [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] for $40, as promised. I'll send a PM with the transaction ID too for good measure.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] monke30butt:
They had better!!! Don't offer if you don't plan on following through!

If they don't pay then there should be some kind of backlash from the Moderators. Just my opinion.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:

I'll be perfectly honest. I wasn't expecting it to happen as fast as it did. So I gotta wait til I get paid next week. I didn't pledge much just 20.00 but you'll certainly be getting mine. Worth every penny too. Just giving you my heads up. My phone is running like a champ.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wooddale:
I don't have the phone yet but I did pledge I believe it was $20 for Verizon. I am willing to send my pledge but not sure if that's what I pledged could someone show me my pledge otherwise I will just send $20 Thanks.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Revan365:
Where exactly do I send the payment? Hyped to install tomorrow (sprint)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Once again payment should be sent via my "Donate to me" button(Look by my name). We do appreciate everyone who has pledges and even more so for the ones who have already paid. Those who have paid already are on my "Nice" List(remember Im DirtySanta :D) Others will be on the naughty list until payment has been received.

As for a wall of shame. I will be mentioning people after a couple days to remind them the pay their pledge. If they pay their pledge after that I will remove their name from the list. After 3 weeks(I think thats a reasonable about of time) if their name is still on the list they should either be reported to the mods(if thats possible) or posted to a Wall of shame megathread(we should make one :D).

I just sent my bounty. I actually sent $40 because I really appreciate the hard work from everyone. I didn't log into paypal to send so I didn't get a confirmation number, but you should have a $40 donation from almony8@gmail.com.

Thanks for a hard work, and I can't wait until I have the time to actually sit down and go through the root process.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] culot:
For the purposes for satisfying my curiosity. I love to examine qcom and LG stuff, compare to known code, see what it is they're doing, etc. Plenty can be useful in custom roms and such, but mostly it'll just further my knowledge and general understanding of what it is and how it is done. I'm particularly interested in the boot partitions, especially, LAF and Factory, and the system and modem partitions.

I would *love love love* to see ow their userdebug build compares to the released product. I mean, really over the moon would love it excite happy yessir.

Was the device it came on a release revision device? I want to inspect that DT and compare to release DT. I assume they didn't disable the COM debug flag in that userdebug LK? Jeezus, what a boon of info can be gleamed from that. I want so much. :)
