Questions about US996 on Verizon with LineageOS 14.1

I'm currently using a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) on Verizon with LineageOS 14.1 and it works perfectly. The phone's getting a bit old, however, so I've been considering possible replacements and the V20 is at the top of my list. Some questions:

- Is there an LG equivalent to Odin (the internal Samsung tool that allows users to easily flash firmware updates from their PC?)

- How well does this work on Verizon (I only need data, voice, SMS, and MMS to work. HD voice, Wi-Fi calling, and FM radio don't matter to me?)

- How does one go about acquiring and flashing updated firmware (read: everything but the ROM and bootloader?)

Helpful and detailed responses much appreciated.

Hello...

to point 1: I think there is nothing like odin for lg, [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] correct me, if i am wrong.

If you want to buy an lg v20 and unlock, twrp, root and flash rom´s like lineageos to the phone, read as much as you can the following threads:

https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594

https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-0-0-touch-recovery-t3603760

(you can just flash the new twrp of this thread within twrp, as you can read in the thread)

For help, use this video... (i did it too and it helped me a lot !!! and don´t worry... it is not only for t-mobile... i have an us996 unlocked and this video helped me too):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVFuAb3fgtM

For the other 2 points i am not the correct contact... Hope someone else helps you out, but this lineage rom runs very smooth...

If i helped you a bit, feel free to push the Thanks-Button ;)

Thanks, I did some more reading and it seems data doesn't currently work. Yikes. I'll have to pass for now and keep soldiering with my S5.

Rebooting changes the wifi-mac-address

Well... new stuff...

I found an interesting thread and OP here on xda... sounds very good to me:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/how-to/guide-fix-wifi-mac-address-changing-t3533841

So i did exactly what the writer said in his post, but when i push the terminal emulator to execute the command, it always shows "sush: cat: /sdcard/config: Permission denied" but it already asked for root rights in supersu...

i deledet the terminal emulator in supersu to test it again, but it is still the same...

I have supersu installed and now "root browser" with root rights ("mk-file-explorer root" seems to have not enough root rights, becaus in the new "root browser" (from playstore) i can see that data/misc/wifi/config was a file and i can delete it too)...

i downloaded the terminal emulator from playstore (jack palevich)...

What can i do to make it successfully ?

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

In the OP you can see, that the only 2 big issiues are "2nd Screen Support" and "VoLTE and WiFi calling do not work yet"

Under features you can see "data" is working... but if you want... here on xda, there are some more interesting roms for the v20... some of them rock stable... on my second v20 i use the weta rom... works great... but my lineage works great too.

Searching the thread for "Verizon" reveals (4G LTE) data doesn't work on that carrier.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
hmm... there are more than 1 model of the v20... the us996 unlocked is a model with almost all bands etc.

and keep in mind, that a rom can unlock all bands too, so maybe another rom is working perfectly for you,

but i can not guarantee it... sorry

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Folks.... finally it works... i did change the properties/permissions of the wifi-folder for owner, group and others to R,R,R,W,W,W... after that i can just copy the edited file with my mac-address to that folder...

Reboot, and WOOOOOOOW... i have the mac-address i want (my original hardware mac-address... found it in my router-protocoll and set it into the file here)...

I do not need the terminal emulator :)

Hope this will help someone too ;)

I flashed an older nighly, it said there was an update so I said ok to download it, it rebooted into twrp and then did nothing. I downloaded the latest nightly for my 997 but when I attempt to flash it, it says that my device is a 996. Any ideas?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Maybe during unlocking/rooting you switched your device to an us996... Just read a bit around here on xda.

If, you maybe have to flash the us996 nightlies, but not 100% sure...

Do a full backup in twrp to micro sd and then try flashing the newest us996 nightly and supersu
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] x86cpu:
Not yet... I believe some changes are in the works.

---------- Post added at 12:32 ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 ----------

You'd need to turn wifi off/on before booting after removing the "config" folder. Seems like you got it sorta out for now.

---------- Post added at 12:36 ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 ----------

Correct, it currently does not. Hoepfully soon.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Chris_caron25:
Im gunna assume you unlocked your bootloader with the dirty santa method, that method by default flashes the vs996 twrp. not sure if this would work but try downloading the twrp file for your phone and flash it though fastboot
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
[MENTION=5948503]thiswasnttaken[/MENTION]

as i mentioned... If you have twrp already, like you said, just download the newest one for the us996 here:

https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-0-0-touch-recovery-t3603760

Put it to your sd-card or internal storage, go into your twrp, go to "install" ... then push "install image" ... and select the image file of the new twrp, you downloaded before... (it must be a ".img" file !!!) and then flash it.

After it restart in twrp and you should be ready to flash the us996 lineage nightlies and supersu...

Found a couple bugs, not sure if they've been reported. Also not sure of the format to do so.

When holding down the capture button in the camera I get an FC. If i just tap it, it takes the picture just fine.

When trying to access the "carrier settings" in the Mobile network settings menu I get an FC.

I'll gladly share logs if anyone want's them and want's to show me how to grab 'em.

edit: i've got a 997 with the latest nightly from may

Thanks for the response. I everything up and running again. I tried the latest 996 nightlies but it had camera issues on my 997 so i went back to the 997 may release
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Camera issues are no problem... i became the tip, to download the app OPEN CAMERA... and then with all 3 cameras of the phone no problem with it ... i think, open camera is even better than the stock camera app ;)

Just try it ;) (and so you will get new weeklies too (when you use the us996 nightlies))

Have fun ;)

Hey guys... i finally switched everything from my samsung note 3 to the us996 v20 today... (i mean finally my sim-card and some final stuff)...

Here i can read that the official nightlies provide the lte bands 3, 7, 20, which i need for vodafone germany...

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/us996

3G works perfekt... but if i set the favourite data connection to "LTE"... i do not become LTE... (and i have LTE in my contract)

So do you have an idea or a fix for me ?

EDIT:

Found a solution and want to share it with you:

You have to set the favourite network typ to global.

Full Speed LTE ;)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mattnin:
I am really bummed that updates for the VS995 haven't continued because of a non-updated wiki. Does the VS995 just no longer have a maintainer? Why is development so slow for this device and why have developers lost interest? It seems like the perfect new phone for development; it has a way to unlock the bootloader, upgradeable storage and a removable battery. What is required of someone to update the wiki? Is there any documentation on the requirements to become a maintainer?

[MENTION=7808749]CM-Tester[/MENTION] thanks for the tip on flashing recovery. I've been making modifications to the rom to stay updated. Way easier now. Danka!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
I am glad, that i could help someone here too... but let me ask... what exactly was my tip?

Sorry last days i got too much v20 stuff in my brain, so i can´t remember that :D
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] subarudroid:
Lol ? about flashing the us996 recovery img. I was modifying the zip to flash with h910. Now I don't have to. Us996 rom is working with my att after some tinkering with the apn.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Ahhh ok. Well, as i said, i am glad, that i could help someone too.

My us996 with the last nightly was running fine the the first days since i got the phone. The only issues are the camera (both backside cams shows ultra dark pictures), but with open camera no problem and the issue with the changing wifi mac adress, but i found a fix for it too. So actually i like it very much. Looking forward, what the next nightlies brings to us 8-)

H990ds model is supported ?

Enviado desde mi LG-H990 mediante Tapatalk
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Unfortunately not yet.

You can have a look for it here:

https://download.lineageos.org/

If there is a 990ds in the list in future, then yes.

But you can unlook the bootlloader and root the 990ds meanwhile.

So you are able to clean the phone of all bloatware (for example with titanium backup root) and many more.

A new kernel was being updated. Builds hopefully should resume next week. [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] is been doing most the work. Also, the wiki should be updated so the other variants can be added back as well.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Well that sounds very good. Keep our v20 alive, hopefully as long as the samsung phones or longer :cool:

And if lineageos will provide the second screen in the future, it will be the absolute very best rom!

I can get to TWRP in recovery mode no problem but when I get there the touchscreen is still unresponsive

As long as everything else is stable, the 2nd screen could be a giant penis for all I care (well maybe not lol). To those building this, props.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
In my experience with rooting and closely following the dev communities on most all the devices I've owned over the past 5 years proprietary hardware never gets supported with non stock custom ROMs. The OEM's never release the source code and drivers that support the hardware in proprietary features therefore the devs are helpless. Basically they would have to write all their own code to get the stuff to work which would take a massive effort and even then would be difficult. There is an extremely high chance you'll never see the second screen work. But I really hope I'm wrong.

the more people ask the less i will release builds...

i know what he did.. he ran the wm overscan command.. but it causes scaling glitches.. look in his video. his launcher is all scaled wrong and when he goes into the Settings app it goes

Status bar

BIG BLACK BOX OF NOTHING

then the start of the settings app

thats what ive been trying to get around...

short answer is no its probably never gonna happen. read what i quote below as someone else explained it better but basically, you know how it took a bunch of cash and waiting to even get root on the sprint variants and such... think of it like that... only like .01% as important to developers... CAN it be done... anything is possible... will it... not by me thats for sure.. the v10 they STILL dont have the 2nd screen fixed.. Always On Display on the G5 doesnt work in CM yet (although not without people trying) so id say no... AOD, maybe... and our display does support it even though LG didnt add it in the rom.

Yep

So i got the 2nd screen figured out FINALLY... there is a tiny animation glitch when rotating or locking the device but thats not due to what i did. I used an old feature in CM to resize the resolution and it has a bug in it.... its only a tiny little thing though...

Cleaning up my source tree and triple checking stuff then gonna do a clean full build and get it uploaded overnight (it takes over an hour to upload and its already 2am) but you will have something extra to play with for christmas this year...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] albinoman887:
oh and in reguards to the wide angle camera....

the g5 has a wide angle lens and i guess you can use it on that in the camera app there is suppose to be a setting but tbh i havent figured it out yet... but i havent spent much time on it... i'll ask rashed
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] OneDon:
Merry Christmas

So question? I've realized that you made the device tree for the h918 can you help me getting it on the us996, idk if by building it for the h918 will work on the us996... I'm over here scratching my head and I keep starting over. Or do I just build and it will run on the us996...

Edit: initially I have an idea of just rebranding the h918 device tree to us996, or can I just add "us996" to Android.mk, setup-makefiles.sh and it should output a us996 build or is there more to it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] albinoman887:
re brand it... then when you get the vendor repo from the muppets... rebrand that as well. only thing you need to change besides all the references of h918 to us996 is get the adreno fw from /system/etc/firmware

specifically these files

a530_zap.b00

a530_zap.b01

a530_zap.b02

a530_zap.elf

a530_zap.mdt

start from there. us996 is gsm so you might be lucky and not have to replace any of the RIL stuff...

Oh and dont use my git. everything is moved to CyanogenMod git now (and Themuppets for vendor repos)

gn guys talk to ya tomorrow, or later today actually

I tried this amazing Rom in the morning the 25th everything was running so nice that I was going to keep it as my daily and after using it for a while battery drained to 30% so I charged it but it didn't charge past 30% it actually drained more while charging .

So I tried to reboot at no avail I am back at tildes Rom charging it and going to give it another go but now using a different gapps

Anyway great work on this Rom keep it up man .?

are you trying to turn tethering on?

that looks like whats going on... i dont have the issue here but i have BT and NFC turned off... maybe try that... also make sure you just install the rom and gapps and nothing from the play store before you start testing stuff like battery drain

all that log shows is a repeat of tethering crap

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] joshtheitguy:
Not sure how things worked out for you but I had no success with the Werewolf kernel, or any other kernel I tried. I've done the following with no success in restoring the touch screen:

Tried the Werewolf kernel with the 8/15 build.

Installed the 7/18 build.

Installed the build before that.

Wiped system and installed the 7/18 build.

Wiped system again and installed the Werewolf kernel each time with the 7/18 and the previous build before that.

So I figured I'd follow up and see where you got or anyone else who may be in the same situation here. The only things left to do at this point would be:

Try a new bootloader. I'm definitely at the 10d build but I've heard mixed results with the newer versions and 10p has anti-rollback so I don't want to try that yet.

Wipe everything. I'm lazy and I don't want to have to deal with setting everything up again.

Revert to stock. Definitely don't want to do this as it is even more work then the previous option.

If you are also having trouble flashing things because the touch screen in TWRP also doesn't work you can do what I've been doing:

adb shell echo 'boot-recovery ' > /cache/recovery/command
adb shell echo '--update_package=[I]direct path to update file[/I]' >> /cache/recovery/command
adb reboot recovery

ADB sideload doesn't work but if anyone knows of an easier way than this please let me know because without a touch screen it can get quite tedious to flash stuff.

Note: I haven't touched Windows since 7 so I don't know if you need to use double quotes or not.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheIronMaiden:
There are two versions of werewolf.

1. Werewolf 2.0-stock

2. Werewolf 2.0

you need to flash the aosp version if werewolf, which doesn't have the "stock" indicator attached to the file name
