[MENTION=1325580]Tilde88[/MENTION], 5.1 is running great... I've been running it for nearly two days, yeah it benchmarks a little lower, but I take absolutely no stock in benchmarks. How many people in real life shut everything on their phone off, and then run it as hard as possible for 5 minutes? I normally run a phone straight out of the box, and it really 144000, that's good enough for me... No matter how I set it up it's at least 2x faster than anything else I've ever owned.

Anyway, just wanted to say you're doing a great job, and don't stress. Add your mods at your leisure, and if you ever need a tester, or some ideas or help, pm me... I don't know much, but I do know a bunch of folks who do from my infamous development days. So I can get you in touch with some pretty decent devs if you need to bounce some ideas around.

Common sense isn't all that common

LG driver for adb

I had the same problem. My PC was using samsung drivers. Go into device manager with your phone plugged in and see what driver it is using for your phone with adb cmd window open. If it is not LG, then go to LG support page for this phone and find downloads for PC and get the LG mobile driver. Install it and then check device manager again. That's how I got it working.

Quick question: In your Rebloat Zip.... is it possible to just copy any .apk to the corresponding system folder using Root Explorer, and then rebooting? I would like to have the Update Center, but can't find any single zip for it.

For example, these are the 2 files I found in the zip relating to the LG Update Center:

/system/priv-app/LGUpdateCenter/LGUpdateCenter.apk

/system/vendor/overlay/com.lge.updatecenter/com.lge.updatecenter.apk
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nyflyguy:
Does anyone have an MD5 sum I can compare to before I flash the 5.1 version?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Just delete everything in the ZIP that you do not want. Do not touch anything in the META-INF folder.

If you do simply just copy and paste, you have to make sure the permissions are set correctly.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Open the ZIP in your PC. If it opens without an error, you are good to go.

Is this ROM running well with the Nethunter kernel? I own a digital forensics company and, as a Certified Computer Examiner, Nethunter would REALLY come in handy in my line of work. Thanks.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
ROM and kernel are 2 different things. To answer your question, yes it will work. I dont know if nethunter has bkuetooth issues or not. Also, the kernel mods from my rom will be disabled, such as color control, default schedular, and the bluactive kernel.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pieces of cake:
Ah yes, that's right, obviously.

Looks like the 10i update is available. Will you be incorporating it into the ROM?

Yea, if it is worth it. Do you know of a changelog?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] tourbound129:
I think Verizon received an OTA that was supposed to be camera improvements. I'm guessing it's along those lines plus the December security patch which would be nice since we are on September currently.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
I mean it won't change much, but I'll update the ROM, sure. Just wish we had kernel sources to with it

Fine fine... Making the update now. Sheesh can't a guy get a break around here :-p

Anyone willing to flash the latest modem.bin, and report if its a different baseband version? You can do that while I do the update :-p

Oh, and also, if someone wants to flash boot.img, and tell me if the kernel version changed? Not that I'll be able to use it at all until sources are out, but just curious. Note; flashing boot.img might break SuperSU, but you can flash SuperSU on top and be good to go

Actually, its late AF. Going to log off after deodexing v10i
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] twistedvip:
Just note that the 10i update patches the dirtycow exploit.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Yea i know. Thats why im not releasing a stock version. We no longer need dirty cow. My rom will not touch recovery, and will always flash supersu alongside it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Got the day off of work bc I have to do some things around the house, and work on my bike a bit. I'll be on a little later to get the update ready.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lmax579:
So we can just dirty flash it?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] netgar:
That means if your v20 get screwed (speaker distortion example) you will get a new replacement that you can't root?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
It is highly unlikely that a factory-shipped v10i is in existence at this time.

However, the KDZ for v10i is valid and can be used to resotre phones.

Yes, v10i at this moment is not is known to have an entry point for an exploit. So, if you do not have a custom recovery, then you will not be able to root it.

Also, if you do a factory reset, you will lose SU, as it is not included in my MOD ROM -just flashed alongside it (this is true for all versions of my ROM). If you do Factory Reset, you will need to flash SuperSU again, but I recommend simply reflashing the ROM altogether.

That said, those who already have the latest TWRP installed, have nothing to worry about.

Let me just type this to make things very clear for anyone/everyone.

If you are on an old TWRP build (RC4, or anything prior to RC8), YOU ARE AT RISK. It is not recommended to any one for any reason to flash stock recovery, or downgrade recovery to anything prior to TWRP RC8.

If you flash any KDZ, everything in your phone will be replaced. If you flash the v10i KDZ, you will not be able to ROOT, nor use a custom recovery until someone finds a userspace entry point like dirtycow.

Again, there is nothing to be worried about if you are not flashing an old, or stock recovery. Only KDZ/TOT files will do that, or a person.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Should be able to, since OTA does that as well :-p.

I'll post results before upload. Should be ready in an hour or two.

Update: It's basically the same build with a few patches. I'll update for the sake of newness, but I think the only thing updated was the VPN update that Verizon's LG V20 got.

Build is still NRD90M.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lightninbug:

I mean I have T-Mobile nothing should be impacted right? We won't lose root?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Funnily enough, the most interesting thing that I found in this update, was a line in build.prop.

Line is

ro.lge.build.branch=sas_msm8996_n_elsa_tmo_us_[B]cameramr_160914[/B]

You will be fine lol. You won't lose root unless you factory reset for some reason later in the future. If you do, just flash SuperSU or the ROM again and all set.

New ROM is done. Going to flash and then upload if working.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] tourbound129:
Awesome. Hope it's working.

Camera improvements would be great.

Not in my opinion. But any camera fixes are good camera fixes ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Here are the changes for v5.1.1

None... Doesn't work. Need new kernel sources.

**Updated to latest base from LG (Still NRD90M --new version is V10i)

**Enabled ADB Debugging on boot

I've taken some good pictures with it but it's not as consistent in auto as the Note 7 was.

So just flash the same file again?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Nope, nothing to flash. New build not compatible with current kernel.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lmax579:
Oh OK that's cool... I'm happy with this one... Does it have the impedance mode by default?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:

Did you try stock kernel? Looks like NATF got his build to work.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Wouldn't do us any good. Going to stock kernel means no custom governor, no I/O tweaks, no color control, no extra power saving
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lmax579:
I think I saw a thread with a file to replace the mixed paths_sasha.xml
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Yep. I'll have it added for the next ROM update.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lightninbug:
Is there a link we can check so we aren't asking if the source for the kernel dropped yet?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
I mean, seeing as how LG has not yet officially released sources even for v10d (release stock ROM), we would have to hope that jcadduono updates his GIT. But seeing as how he, like freeza have dropped the LG v20 for the Axon, it is not likely that he will continue to do so.

TL;DR, no, not really.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] vibrantliker:
What Axon did they go to?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lightninbug:
So it's possible we may NEVER see the update then?

v10d kernel sources are already out..
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lmax579:
Quick question, why would a phone in recovery mode say opening recovery script, then do a factory reset then it force closes the setup wizard?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NotATreoFan:
I believe they're missing a few pieces, like how Samsung loves to do with their sources also. Some of the missing parts were hacked together from a V10 or G5.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Lol, no, it'll get here don't worry.

v10d Sources have been out for a while. It is what my current custom kernel is based on.

We are discussing the newly-released v10i for the H918. v10d H918 source was created based off of other devices with the same build.

I cannot make a bootable kernel for v10i using v10d sources.

None of what you said makes sense. But, the opening recovery script, could be because whatever ROM you were on had the recover***.p file within /system.

I highly recommend for you to download 5.1, do a super clean install (Within Wipe --> Advanced --> Select Dalvik, Data, System, and Cache, then wipe. DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE OR SD CARD.

Once you wipe, flash 5.1. You might be getting force closes, because factory reset erases anything not included in the manifest for the default ROM. This means that SuperSU, and some pieces of ViPER, and possible a few other things, are missing. Until I bake SU into the ROM, rather than just flash it along with the ROM, factory resets will be missing things.

Actually the v10d source is complete. It is v10i that I need.

Also, whoever asked, the Axon they moved to was the ZTE Axon 7
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lightninbug:
How long after v10d did the source drop? Just wondering so i can guesstimate
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
Anyone know if this will work with the VS995? I have the US996 deodexed ROM and the H918 Konverged kernel on my VS995 and it works fine so I was curious if this ROM will work as well? Thanks.

PS. I did search the thread and didn't find anything so sorry if this has been answered.

Edit
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] N1ghtr08d:
So i flashed this ROM onto my Sprint 997 and now the phone won't move past the LG splash screen and i can't boot into the revocery.

I had the 996 rom flashed no problem so i wiped and decided to give this ROM a shot but now i'm stuck here.

Can anyone please help me boot into recovery so i can fix this problem?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lmax579:
Tilde, it wasn't for the V20, it was for the stylo 2 plus, I thought it was a general issue
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Again, LG did not release the source for v10d that we have. The sources that we have came out like 1-2 weeks after phone release. Jcadduono made the GIT based off of other devices. Sources for v10d have not yet been released, so there is no timeframe. I'll ask around to see if jcad will continue to support our phone, but it is unlikely.

I don't recommend it, nor would I be able to help you. I could build you a ROM, but man, that's so much work, and then I don't have that device, so I can't test. I'm imagining that other than the price of the v20, the reason devs are leaving it behind, is simply due to the amount of different versions of this phone that exist. Too many splits naturally mean not enough collaboration, which means less development productivity.

It is never recommended to cross-flash things. You should be able to boot to TWRP with the button combo. With the phone off and unplugged, hold down VOL-DOWN, and the power button. When you see the LG logo, release power, and then hold power again. LG phones have a certain timing to get to it. It will ask if you want to wipe your phone. Say yes twice. If you have TWRP, which you certainly should, it won't wipe anything, just take you to TWRP.

Instructions should still apply, just use a ROM for your device.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
This is where LG will post the sources

http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LGh918

Once/if v10i is there, you guys will have your update. (LG is pretty good about releasing sources it seems)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lmax579:
OK cool
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] netgar:
Thx Tilde.

...Ehhh.... I hoped to see a little camera update. Anyway... ROM runs beautifully.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
I know man. I knew I was on my own when flashing the ROM and kernel since it was not made for the Verizon model. In the 5+ years I've been messing with this stuff it's the first time that I ever flashed anything made for another device. But other people had reported it worked so I figured I'd give it a shot. I know how to recover from soft bricks and bootloops so I wasn't concerned.

Like I already said though if you do want to build for the vs995 I'd test for you. Like a real tester with logs and all lol.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Hehe, the base is actually stable as-is, and I know the kernel will be clean. I just use the no-test thing as a whine bonus.

I'll make a VS995 MOD ROM with kernel this weekend.

That said... A poll is going up. Community decides which device gets done after. Builds won't take long so... Lol, idk, I'm bored.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
If you can find me a stock system.img and a boot.img of the vs995, I'll probably get you going tonight.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
I'd love to but can't find any online. Boot.img is easy to get but I don't have a stock version of the VS995 firmware anymore. I do have my TWRP backup so is it possible for me to extract the system image from that? (sorry I'm a noob at this part of things) Even if I could extract the system image from the backup I have I actually use 4G LTE as my home internet so the upload isn't the greatest and it would take forever. I have Verizon unlimited plan so bandwidth isn't an issue but it would take me forever to upload it. I searched XDA and google for a system.img but it appears no one has made one :/

If it is possible for me to get the system.img from my backup point me to a good tutorial (I learn fast and easy) and I'll do it for you.

PS. I owe you a couple thanks but stupid XDA's limit of 8 a day always gets me. 8 just isn't enough for a thankful person who uses XDA throughout the day. :'(
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
lol no worries. as far as the system.img, and boot.img, where did you find the boot.img?

If you are sure your system and boot backups are 100% unmodified, that means no files edited/changed/deleted/added in /system, then you can restore them, and DD them out of your system. Boot your phone after restoring to ensure the backups are OK, and that everything is stock.

Then boot to TWRP, and mount system under the Mount options. On your PC do

adb shell

**(should automatically have root (#) ), if not type su

then

[B]dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/vs995/system.img[/B]

then

[B]dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/storage/emulated/0/vs995/boot.img[/B]

It is imperative that you do not mix up the if= and of=,so please just copy and paste. If you can't upload, just wait for someone else to do it :)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
I can upload. like I said it would just take a while since I'm in a rural area and 4G LTE connection only runs about 5-7Mb up. Only have a -105--110db signal where I live.

I said the boot.img is easy because as far as I know that just means the boot.img/kernel that is in any ROM zip right? So I figured it would be easy to get my backup file and extract the boot.img. I know many a times I would exchange the boot.img file in a zip for a different one before flashing roms depending on which kernel I wanted to run so I didn't have to flash the kernel separate each time. So I just assumed it would be easy to get. Like I said this aspect of things I'm a bit noobish on. I know enough to get by messing with this stuff on my own without much assistance but I'm no dev.

I know my backup is fully stock with the exception of a few things. I did do a bit of debloating before making my backup. Nothing major but I got rid of the 360 wallpapers and a few verizon apps like navigator and a couple others. And normally the VS995 has the theme section under the home setting and mine had disappeared but applying themes from smartworld still worked and I could use the high contrast built in theme still. The themes I downloaded from the play store I could not figure out how to apply since I couldn't find where they were. It was weird because I didn't delete anything related to theming. Anyway, I'll make the images if you want. I honestly don't think the few things I got rid of are an issue and I know I didn't delete the theming since themes still worked.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Where did you get a ROM.zip for the vs995?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
Ok, communication broke down somewhere along the way lol. I told you all I have is the backup I made before flashing the US996 ROM. That's why I asked could I get the system.img from the backup because I couldn't find one online anywhere.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
I mean, it's better than nothing, hah!

but you said you can get the boot.img from your Rom.zip. Where did that Rom.zip come from?

Bc, if it's the boot.img from a different device, or my ROM, it won't work. Just be sure you on are stock ROM and kernel (as they came on your phone) and run those commands. The files will be in your Internal Memory.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
Oh, I was just saying that I knew what the boot.img is because I used to mess with it in ROM zips. I'm definitely not so ignorant with this stuff to not know the different between the VS995 stock firmware and the other devices. I would never mistake a H918 or US996 etc boot.img for a VS995 :) My backup is fully verizon stock. I made it right after I was done the dirtysanta unlock and root method.

Final question. Can I just do this on my PC? I have the backup on my sd card so could I just put the backup onto my PC and use adb or some other method to make the system.img and boot.img?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Not that I am aware of. :(

Plus, I need you to actually boot it, to verify the backup was OK on both partitions.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
True. Ok I'm going to start the process now. If All goes well hopefully by morning I can have it uploaded. Where should I upload it to?

Just a heads-up, I would need the stock system.img and boot.img of your phone, so if you can start looking for that ;)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
not looking good for tonight. I've ended up not being able to get out of TWRP :/ I restored my stock verizon backup and it booted fine so I did a factory reset just so it was all default and now i'm stuck in TWRP. So now I'm going to have to fix this and I'm not sure how long it will take.
