[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
Hey guys, with the expectation of many that 'root is coming' to the other v20 models...are we likely to see the same type of root format that applied to the LG G4, where you have to (either) download or rip your own image to a PC. Use commands to insert root, then reflash to the device?

Any root is better than nothing, I know...but I ask because with the amount of software updates for the G4 (v10c software through to v10k before MM came out), meant the sheer amount of times you'd have to go through this process to keep your phone up to date whilst maintaining root was extremely frustrating - as it also meant xposed and related settings/apps needed to be reinstalled each time you performed an OTA update and re-flashed root.

Is this going to be a side effect of dealing with a locked bootloader? PS: If I sound dumb, it's probably because I am.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
it shouldnt be an expectation as weve made it clear we do not have root and are hitting hurdles.. we have been advised we need to atack selinux and or the bl but at this point were wanting to try to use debug firmware which hoprfully would allow a bl unlock..

unfortunately nobody can creat a .tot with the debug firmware at al and theres no way at all to flash the images..

we need to somehow leverage an exploit to gain a temp adb root shell before we could even attempt anything and this has not been done in a way thats useful to us..

unfortunately we need more experienced devs at this point.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
LG Australia (and as such, Taiwan) have effectively confirmed their H990DS v20 mobile phone's bootloader is confirmed as being unlockable. However (and for no apparent reason) they will not confirm why one region have released a variant of the phone with the bootloader unlock and why they are refusing this to others phones/regions. Because of course, they have zero training and information about anything related to their company expect for goods released in a specific region. That comes from a 'product expert'
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MelwayMan:
Titanium Backup

Howdy,

Just reading through the thread, I understand that it's not quite a "full" root, but would it be enough to run Titanium Backup? I'm hoping to move away from root access with my V20 but it would be really helpful if I could do it temporarily, restore some application and data backups, reboot and uninstall Titanium.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Byte_76:
I presume you are reffering to an official bootloader unlock?

How can I check if my H900DS is unlockable?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
Yes I am. There are no plans for LG Australian / UK / Taiwan to officially release any unlock for the H990DS; other than revealing (or rather confirming) that the unlock IS possible, but they won't release sh*t. There's no checking if it's unlockable....let's leave this to the more talented guys who are still chipping away at root. That's more important to me at the moment, which is why there's a bounty thread I've created.

EDIT: For anyone in Taiwan, Australia or UK - please call LG. Ask to speak to a product expert, or go onto online chat and ask for the same thing. Then insist you are a developer and want to know why their company has yet to officially release a bootloader unlock, likie they have for the US open market H996 variant. Complain! Take it further...don't take no for an answer. Let's hope soem more feedback is paassed on internally that we want this. Who knows, if it gets in the ear it may help!

RoOSTA
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Byte_76:
Okay, I misunderstood your message. I though maybe LG had allowed official H990DS bootloader unlock from the developer website.

Agreed, we will wait and hope that the more talented guys manage to find a way to achive root.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartianNinja:
Can you post a video if you can on how this method works?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
if you are not a dev its irrelevant to you.. we have another method that allows a better root shell but is still limited
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
I mean, I think a demonstration of both would be pretty cool. I wouldn't call myself a "dev," per se, but I'm more than a little savvy and I like to poke around fun new things like this. I at least know how to be careful. I just want to see what we can mess with at the moment.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartianNinja:
Yes I'm not a developer, since I'm planning on buying the H990ds version, no root is a deal breaker for me. I just wanted to see if the phone can be rooted. That would make my day!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
it can but no root as most know.. its a temporary root shell to where you can dirtycow.. however we havent obtained a normal full root or even full temporary root..

We have someone with an H990DS workin on root as well with us.. but theres no sayin when it will be useable or perm root would be attained
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartianNinja:
Good to know devs are working on it. All I can do is wish you guys the best and wait till permanent root is achieved :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me7tarfeek:
Just a question:

Did anyone try to use the temp root to flash Magisk and phh superuser?

Thanks in advance...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Magisk requires Boot.img modification. We are now able to flash boot.img BUT any modifications cause the phone to brick(yes we successfully bricked a locked v20) :D

We are currently working on combining multiple methods to get it all working right.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me7tarfeek:
Great news.... Thanks to all for the effort... And waiting for the breaking news....
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Byte_76:
Thank you to everyone working on this!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Not sure how up to date you are but we got it! We are polishing and testing on multiple devices right now. making it as simple as possible
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Byte_76:
Well, as I understand, there has been success with the VZW model. (Well done!)

I have a 990DS so still holding thumbs.

Anyway, I am so glad there are people like you out there who are working on root for the V20 and I really appreciate it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Ah ok. Yes there has been success on the VZW and SPR models
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Artimis:
I'm sure it is way to early to tell (especially since you refining the method for all the v20 models) but what is the likelihood of applying this root/unlock method to the LG G5 (e.g. VZW variant) given that it is so similar to the v20?

There are separate bounties to collect for that phone, fyi ;)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
There is NO chance of applying this to the g5. Now. If someone has a debug g5 then possibly.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] capfirepants:
What's the SPR model?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Artimis:
Well, that's disappointing. Looks like I am going to have to drop my G5 and pick up a V20 then!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gravemoss42:
Are you saying root has been achieved for the vzw v20? I'm sorry to sound dense, but I don't wanna get all excited for nothing.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartianNinja:
Good to see so much progress. Does this mean we are going to see root on h990ds soon?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
.... that has been answered multiple times..

the dual sim is a slightly different device than single sim variants so there is a good chance of a brick if you try it.. as it stands we do not recommend anyone trus it once released on a h990ds due to higher chance of bricking completely.

you have been warned lol.. if and when it gets released, we cant control ppl if they decide to try it on a non supported untested variant and it wont be anyones but their own fault.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartianNinja:
I have been waiting a long time to buy this phone, so I keep checking the updates here everyday. If there are devs working on root for h990ds, a part of me will be happy. If there is no one working on it, I would rather move on and wait for the new flagships to arrive next year. And never buy a LG again :/
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] eladeb:
Does it apply on 990 single?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hykhleif:
can we root H990 single sim or not, i am surprised how come the international version is so so ignored in the lg v20 thread.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
bcuz the majority seem to have US variants..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
No its not rooted. Its not that its ignored. But you guys have no devs.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hykhleif:
but how come there is no dev i assume the h990 is the most sold among all variants
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Not sure. You guys just don't have one. Most of the devs I've seen are in the US
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
as [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] stated, theres been no devs for your device.. hopefully if there is one theyll contact one of us or [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] for guidance and potentially an invite to the HO.. the devs do not bite lol just provide respects where do.. we wish you guys would find a method or make dirty santa work.. the more v20s we root themore development for the community :)

not sure about sales but North America is a very large market... we did get super lucky and even more so an awesome person (@emspilot) had the money to buy a debug phone and actually hold on to it while we figured out the sig lock to beable to even access the necessary files..

i think it should ideally work on many phones but models outside usvariants really need some extra work such as a way to boot after dirty santa and then working network/data etc.. if [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] had said device,im sure hed work diligently to root you guys but without the device in hand youre looking at a lot of potential bricks
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hykhleif:
please help us out man, as really we need some people like you to help in this and putting all this together, you did for your variant please do a thread and a bounty thread for the h990 as I am not the kind pf person who can manage this
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
bounty thread already exists.. cant really put it together if we dont have the device
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hykhleif:
where is that thread, all i found is the dual sim not single sim
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea sorry i was thinking of the 990DS.. either way i dont even have a 990 or 990 DS
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hykhleif:
that is just terrible that not even a thread exsits, had i the expeirence to make a bounty thread i would have done it, but i simply can't as delaing then with paying the dev is not possible as I would not be able to do that and collecting payments from users
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
get someone who has the device to do it if its that important to you
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] eladeb:
Wheres the fellowship to root all veriants.

A lot of us stucked with the h990 single sim...

No one have even open a thread...

Come on people.

Let us root that stupid device.

I dont believe that that LG is stronger than the devs...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
this thread is what led to root for us variants.. the temp shell also works on h990..

the base work is there, you just need a debug aboot or another vulnerability

I tried this exploit to get the stock boot.img and system.img for the LS997 sprint varient to try to help the guy in this thread. Obviously this exploit alone will not do that given I got permission denied errors once in the shell. Is there a way I can use this exploit to get what this guy wants for him. He is looking for the boot.img and system.img to get some sprint specific things working that aren't currently working since we basically convert the phone to a US996 after rooting. I am still stock unrooted, so I was trying to help him.

Here is the thread the guy asked for the img's.

I just wanted to share with everybody that I spent about 15 minutes on the phone with Gyngabread Man today. I contacted him after reading in various threads how he is glad to help forum members sift through the maze of plans and options. I have a company plan with ATT and spent a long time picking plans and options before I started my service. I have since been on the phone with the "business specialists" at ATT several times since then. Gyngabread man looked at my call history, data plan and messaging choices, and company incentives. I now am saving over $20 per month over what I was paying and have gone from 200 messages per phone to unlimited messaging for all the phones on my plan. He even found a credit that I was eligible for! So I think you can all tell that I am pretty pleased. A heck of a nice guy too! Just PM him and he can tell you if you should keep the plan and options you have or if you could change some things up and get more bang for your buck.

Thanks

Ive been in multiple stores to replace my T-Mobile S7 but the guys keep giving me a hard time to do so. I dont have insurance on the phone, Ive had poor battery life and bad pixel burn in as my issues they say it can be replaced they just keep pushing me away from doing so. Im the customer and I just want a replacement. I havent had this issue until the whole Note 7 fiasco. Let me know if you guys expierence similar issues...

You have to go through Samsung. Unless the devices 15 days or fewer from the time you purchased it from T-Mobile they ain't going to do anything.

If you are outside of the 15days and dont have insurance then it's not T-Mobile place to replace contact Samsung. Next time just pay the exter for insurance can't get mad at them for following rules and your lack of common sense since you got a 700$ device with no insurance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] KillerClaw321:
They are giving me a refurbished model for $20 , he actually said that I have once chance to purchase insurance, I declined and he gave me no issues with replacement... He also told me it was funny that they are on backorder though he heard that Samsung is focusing production on them. I also asked if they are the people to go to in this situation, he said and I didn't even know "the phone has a 1 year warranty". I completely forgot and I didn't know that they covers stolen devices and other damage other than cracks and water.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] kitila:
Thats good.to here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] entropism:
That's actually 100% false. T-Mobile gives you a 1 year warranty with the device, and calling tech support will get you a replacement for $20, or $5 if you have jump/insurance. (Jump/Insurance also keeps the warranty going past 1 year)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] nugzo:
You're the one without common sense. The 15 day rule is if you aren't happy with the phone... That could be because it's defective, or you don't like it. Your carrier still provides a 1 year warranty. I've been in to stores 11, 6,5 months after purchase with a truly defective phone and the carrier replaced it every time. My store has a service center and it probably has to be a corporate store. Without one you need to call your carrier. They won't give you a new phone off the sales floor shelf (unless within 15 days) they have stock specifically for warranty exchange, most of the time they are factory refurbs, sometimes new, yet I could never tell the difference . They might not have it in stock but will order it. Normally you can pay $20 extra for overnight shipping (AT&T) Most recently was only exception as far as in store replacement . My s7 edge had a messed up home button. Also had a scratch on the screen. Local store said Samsung would probably reject the warranty due to the scratch. I left, called 611 and had a new phone the next day.

Edit: I've experienced this with 2 carriers, AT&T and Sprint. Both corporate stores. Joe Blow who has a franchise store wont replace it. The franchise store told me the same old BS that i had to call manufacturer (samsung) Calling your carrier seems to be the easiest way in most cases.
