You apparently don't understand the process.

It's not so much "in it for the money" as it is getting reimbursed for their time and expenditures. You act like dudes just click their heels and then a v20 appears in their hands and then in a day or so they just plop some code down and the phone magically unlocks.

Carriers lock phones down and when they do they don't make it easy to circumvent. Since a Dev probably doesn't have a plan with the carrier, or even if they did they wouldn't do tests on their daily phone, then they have to full price purchase a phone which is nearly a thousand dollars for flagships, then sometimes certain or specific software which costs money and then of course the massive volume of Time that goes into it.

When you consider that most of these guys do these on phones they don't own or intend to use you see that they do it for the community. But I for one wouldn't pay 1k to help you unlock and break your **** just to have you come back and scream at me in a thread because you don't know how to read.

Frankly in today's society with everyone running around acting like people who CAN do things MUST so things for THEM, I'm shocked any of this stuff ever even gets done. So yeah if they unlock or root the phone I'll send them money but I'm not going to post it in a thread. I've sent the viper guys $50 or so over the years for my old HTC m8. Didn't pledge it and it was unlocked and rooted long before I got the phone but I dug their software so I showed my appreciation for their ongoing hard work. They are STILL updating that old ass phone. Bravo.

Guys - having flame messages, even if you vainly disagree with another's post - does nothing but get threads closed. This type of behavior is also why some dev's won't join the LG community. Let's stay on topic and not rant at each other.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] chippinganimal:
This is what I thought is how it worked, coming from a galaxy s5 where any rom or mod that was made for the "G900f/g/k/t/p/v/a/and so on" worked on any variant unless it was a carrier specific mod usually, but their a different company so what do i know...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickberg:
FYI-there are people hard at work behind the scenes trying MANY different approaches one dev has went as far as paying 800 out of pocket for a unlocked debug phone in hopes it can be used to unlock the locked variants. Just because nothing is being in here about this work does not mean nothing is being done.

Also the devs behind the scenes are not doing it for the bounty they are doing it because they want to contribute. The bounty is merely to hopefully draw in bigger devs with more experience.

This Post was created for that purpose not to be a flaming post!

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
Dude this thread is for unlocked boatloads of other 'US variants'... Or that's how I read OP myself.

Had it been for the 990DS (which I now own myself), I'd contribute $35US equivalent to $50 AUD for the boatloader unlock. It's the main dual sim variant not only sold in Australia, but Taiwan, UK and Singapore as well...I'm sure there s more countries it's available in that im forgetting. Its the variant that will undoubtedly help more people chasing full customisation, but I don't believe there's a thread for this model, just a bounty thread for basic root.

Verizon variant lg v20

Good Evevning,

I hope this message finds all well...

I just UG to the lg v20 and wanted to know if there was and estimated time of arrival for root access to verizon variant? I have been lurking for a little bit as a new user but, have lurked longer as an interweb finder. Seeking answers that had already been questioned and such.

Anyways, I have limited time in changing my device to the lg v10 approximately 5 days and need an answer as have found no root options for hotspot apps (exempli gratis: FoxFi) the real reason I seek root access to my new device.

If op or someone as qualified would kindly answer my question i would greatly appreciate it.

Also is there a serious difference between lg v10 and lg v20, verizon variants of course? I have searched and found nothing serious aside from rear facing cams and android build (not seriously impressed imo).

Thanks in advance!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Team DevDigitel:
Not gonna get root in 5 days lmfao..

Devs.

Ive seen a ton of attack apps that place themselves as a device manager. In theory these apps gain r/rw permissions to the device. How about exploiting the same intrusion but use it to change the build information and inject into the system there. Turn off secure and delete flags that check for mods.

Is it that the boot.img is running the checks behind the locked bootloader and the boot.img needs bumped because of security check? I know it sounds too simple but the device administrator gets r/rw access to a majority of system.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slypnslyde:
Not gonna for awhile bro. One of the main reasons why people want root is tethering but that is also probably the main reason why carriers lock the bootloader

NO. It will NOT work. That stupid site literally just took the method for tmo and relabeled everything to say Verizon.. they did the same with the other guy who posted same link for ATT variant..

Let's hope newly appointed CEO actually takes care of LG's Mobile division.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vanemburghj:
LG did not lock your bootloader down, LG developed and installed the software the carrier requested. Hence the reason why you can root some LG V20's and others you can't. If you want to write a letter, try your carrier, however with me being new to Verizon, left T-mobile just a few weeks ago. It will be of pretty much no use, VZW has been locking down their bootloaders for years with zero concern of their customers desires.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slypnslyde:
Exactly, Verizon or any other carrier doesn't want you to have access to tethering multiple devices without paying hence the lock down of bootloaders for rooting
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mahdibassam:
LG has never been the brand of choice for people who are keen on custom roms and developement. If you are into that then you should have bought an HTC or Samsung, or even pixel. LG is just not good for these things, never was and never will be.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
Reasoning behind why root is so difficult is mainly due to the fact the LG V20 is on 7.0 - which is much more locked tight due to much more restrictions. It's pretty much necessary to get the bootloader unlocked and then get SELinux to be set to permissive through some type of exploit.

Also Samsung has many, many more employees compare to LG - especially in the mobile department. So it's much more likely to have a leak such as the ENGR boot from Samsung than a leak from LG.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i dont know about others but pretty much all their shared data plans from the last year + include hotspot/tethering without additional cost on Verizon
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slypnslyde:
Sprint only gives 5g
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
Yeah I'm on AT&T and have their unlimited data plan. I am still able to tether to devices like my Surface without any issue (or additional costs). Although they did tell me at the store that the plan doesn't allow it - I am still able to which makes me happy.

My desires for root are mainly residing within the customization realm. I'd like to customize the software onscreen buttons, etc. Besides that, as blocking is my only other need for root.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea, i was just commenting towards the guy sayin vzw lockedBLs so ppl wont tether without paying when mostly its allowed on many of their plans lol very few ppl have unltd data still

Forgive my ignorance but.. Can someone please explain this? Was there a breakthrough that could lead to root on vs995 and other locked devices?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
there will be a release onve its worked out by the users who put it together.. expect those to pat their pledge once its all figured out.. nothing is being released yet but testing has been successful on Sprint and Verizon so far.

Its a very thorough hands on process currently so its not ready for the masses until he is able to putsomething together to try and automate most it.

Essentially what you can do with this method:

1) Flash an already unlocked BL (debug)

2) Flash TWRP

3) edited until further testing

4) Of course root. You will have an unlocked BL with Seciure Boot turned off.. Anything will now be possible :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
I have question about this. Does this mean that, once everything is all worked out, we'd be able to keep the stock ROM more or less intact, and not have to worry about any potential performance or stability issues? Such as Settings force closing, cell service, etc.

Still, hype!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
He really should edit that but... #3 only applies to Verizon users. Unfortunately Sprint and AT&T(have not tested yet) will need to Flash the Deodexd US996 rom. Or a seperate custom one that we will make. Either way you WILL lose all of your data if you want Root since the phone is encrypted.

The non Dual Sim device is more likely to work however it cannot be guaranteed because its international and you will be using US firmware. you may get unlocked and rooted but it would be pointless if you cant use it :/
