[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Hello, i am going to buy a H910 "Unlocked GSM"... May someone help me and write a short step by step way, what i have to do then ?

Like: 1. unlock bootloader by doing..... 2. Flash TWRP by doing.....

PS. i want to get root too...

PPS. Hope the H910 will have the 10L stock, not the 10M... or is that equal ?

Or do i have no chance, if the phone have the stock 10M software ?

Thank you very much !!!

I need my Wi-Fi calling so that's not an option. In a semi dead zone with closest tower 2 miles away
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Link575:
That was a big reason for me too since I have bad service in my house but Mental said airplane mode works the same as rebooting and he just uses a Tasker profile to switch it on and off after disconnecting from WiFi. It's not the prettiest solution but for all intents and purposes it works. I get to use a custom kernel, keep wifi calling and not have BT problems.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] daw41:
If the phone is on 10L use dirty Santa to unlock the bootloader and root. If it is on 10M there is no current root method.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Thank you, for that info... Is there a way, to downgrade from 10M to 10L ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] daw41:
No there is no kdz for the h910
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NotATreoFan:
I can and will gladly look into adding these all in as AROMA options. My current project is to get the current bloat available for install at the time of flashing.

I'm truly glad that people like what I'm doing here. It feels good to be able to help and give back with custom ROMs. I've got some time tomorrow to play around and see what I can come up with.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dfogelstrom:
I got all the files of u need em lol. PM me if u need anything,

I've been on the Android ROM scene for a good 7-8 years but don't have the coding and development skills like you and the the community have. I can test anything if I'm free.

I love what your doing and the slimness of the ROM, it just makes it light and fast. I don't need all that extra weight, so anything I can freeze or uninstall I'm down for.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NotATreoFan:
Sure, if you want to zip them all up, I'll throw them into a test AROMA package.

I've done some personal customization of other ROMs prior to myself flashing them, but never distributed anything for Android.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dfogelstrom:
This has the boot and shutdown animation zips and the modded mixer_paths.xml included.

For Google Assistant it's a build_prop mod, but I've just been using the Get Assistant App from the store (cause I'm lazy) and I forgot which lines were modded and changed.

You recommend at least TWRP RC8. Does that mean I should install that version (twrp-3.0.2-0-rc8-h918.img), or can I use the twrp-3.0.2-1-h918.img? I know it's a dumb question, but I want to be sure.

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

Well I went ahead with 2-1. The ROM flashed without errors (although I opted out of V4a and Dolby).

After rebooting from TWRP, it showed the LG logo, then rebooting again. First boot took longer than expected, but now I'm on the "Android is starting..." screen. Gonna restore from my backups next.

Thanks, [MENTION=320479]NotATreoFan[/MENTION]! :D
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
So I had a little trouble with LG Backup, since I downloaded it, forgetting it had been removed. It wasn't a system app, so it was just closing, saying "Phone busy, try again later."

I flashed AirDrive, Backup and MirrorLink, without deleting the user versions first, since I forgot. The first reboot, LG Backup still didn't work. After letting it sit for maybe 15 minutes, then rebooting again (to re-enable SU), LG Backup works! I'm restoring my backup now, then I'm going to use TiBu from now on.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NotATreoFan:
3.0.2-1 is newer than RC8, so you're good there. Because the ROM is deodexed, the initial boot will take around 10 minutes, and one or two reboots back to the LG logo are normal, SuperSU doing it's work.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
Well I'm up and running. Trying to make a modified Google APK now so I don't need to edit build.prop for GAssist.

Thanks for your work on this ROM!

Do you know if it's possible to re-enable the Phone Information menu under *#*#4636#*#*?

Guys, brand new to the lovley V20 (US99610d). I am assuming since this Rom is H918, that I shouldnt be treading here correct? Only flash Roms that specifically state compatible with US99610d? Thanks for any insight. I havent taken the leap yet to unlock, and root since I saw there was no way of going back to stock as of right now??!! Is this still true? This phone is a dream come true with all the features in one device! You know it has to be good for me to dump my Pixel XL! I love that phone but the DAC/Audio quality is complete crap even with root and Viper!! The Dac in the V20 just put me in awe last night cranking some HIFI Nine Inch Nails in the Tidal app lasty night with my M-100"s!! WOW! Any way enough praise. This phone is a few excellent roms away (and those Roms taking full advantge of this quad DAC) from being something VERY special IMHO!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dfogelstrom:
Lmk how that modded Google apk works. I use Get Assistant App but if there is an easier way then I'm down. I got tired of manually editing build.prop lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
I'm going to have to reboot into Ubuntu, because Windows (for whatever reason) doesn't work with APKTool properly; it misses some of the smali classes.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dfogelstrom:
Good luck, definitely keep me in the loop on that. I was tempted to just upload a modded build.prop for NATF to include in his ROM, but I'm not pro and wasn't sure if it includes any personal info. I uploaded the modded mixer_path and boot/shutdown animation for him last night like a page back. I always find myself flashing those after flashing any ROM lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NotATreoFan:
build.prop is safe to upload. I'm going to add the Google Assistant APK and a modded prop in the AROMA option. I'll be testing it later today.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NotATreoFan:
As long as you have a TWRP backup, there's little risk to trying if it will boot. Just make a full backup immediately after getting TWRP up and running. You will need to format your data partition since we don't have decryption support for the V20.

The most likely sticking point, if at all, is the boot.img. And if it doesn't boot up, you could always swap in the boot.img from the US996. However this can only be done if the new December security update has made it to your device, since, since old kernels will not boot this software.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zacharee1:
For some reason, even Ubuntu isn't showing the classes I need to edit. I don't really know what to try now.

Switched camera to selfie and "camera stopped working" popped up. Cannot open camera app now. Just force closes. Wiped cache and data in app, rebooted and happens again.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Robert235:
same for me, plus turning on voice shutter force closes the camera.

Well answered my own question... 3 minit battery and clock mod flashes fine... But does not work??? Checked the updater script and binary... Didn't see anything that wouldn't allow it to work, but I really don't know what to look for... So maybe if anyone that knows more than myself wanted to check it out, we could get it going... Anyway, I have the .zip if anyone is interested

Common sense isn't all that common
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
OK i understand... No way to download a KDZ of 10L for the H910, which i need to downgrade WITHOUT ROOT...

So i have to ask the seller, whats the software version... Thank you for your help...

Btw. if i can get a 10L phone... is it easy to flash this ROM and get root access... i mean do you have a short step by step guide for me ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] daw41:
The only stock firmware available is a TWRP flashable image if you don't have root you can't flash that there is no way to return to stock or downgrade without root access on the h910
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Just perfect, your fast answers... you helped me a lot !

So is it easy (if i get a 10L version of the phone) to flash this ROM and get root access ?

Maybe you have a short guide for me, like 1. unlook bootloader by doing... 2. root by doing... 2. flash rom by doing...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] daw41:

Before or after that wipe data cache dalvik and more ?

Ok, thank you again.

So just flash the ONE ROM FILE in TWRP is all... ?

I found this and it confused me a bit, because there are 4 files ...

https://xdaforums.com/v20/developme...ated-stock-t3509750/post72175169#post72175169

How about that ? Anyway just have to flash the ROM-File (and have root option during installing ?) ?

Or do i have to have a look for some of the files in the Post (see link above) ?

And a new question... After flashing this rom... Is there a way, to get all LTE bands unlocked?

Greetings from germany...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Josh McGrath:
I assume you're on the at&t V20 from the post you mentioned above?

Basically, if you are coming from stock, you MUST wipe everything cause it's encrypted and you have to remove the encryption on system and user data.

If you're already rooted and on another room, you don't have to wipe Internal storage. If you don't wipe data when switching roms (aka clean flash) then you will probably run into issues.

I don't think you're new to this, but just in case, and if anyone is confused... Clean flash is wiping everything, all user data (apps etc)

Dirty flash is not wiping user data.

On the LTE bands, I am not sure but I believe it's hardware based, so I don't think you can unlock any other bands. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope this helps ;)

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

I don't know where my detailed reply went so I'll try this again... :Mad

Are you coming from stock? If so wipe everything including internal storage. If not, just wipe system, data, cache and dalvik (ART)

the one file is all you need because, unlike CM, GAPPS can be individually selected in the aroma upon install.

Hope this helps ?

Edit: Okay, well my detailed reply magically appeared. I'm still going to leave this short reply as a cliff notes.

I use the S8+ as my daily driver and I would highly recommend it. I use my phones for work a lot and when I was having issues with this device, I took advantage of a sale for the S8+ and picked one up. I just wish that root would come to it but Sammy is trying really hard to lock their devices down.

I haven't had an issue with BT I connected it to my vans UConnect system with no issues and I'm on TMO 5.0 and Magisk 13.2 (recently updated btw).
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KUSOsan:
Do you have issues reconnecting it? It connects fine on 1st try then if I go into a store or something and come back out it will require me to turn off Bluetooth on both devices and then manually reconnect through the BT menu majority of times. Does it mainly with my car stereo but it'll do it occasionally on my other headsets too
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] darwinmach:
For me, the only time it won't auto reconnect from an external device initiating the connection (like when I start my car) is when the phone is locked. As soon as I unlock, it reconnects fine.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] crazyc78:
I haven't had an issue as of yet. I also use BT on my Nissan Sentra and no issues there either.

Me too. In all my time on Android, this has been the best custom ROM I've ever used. No crazy frills, but lots of options to make it the way we want it. And by far the most consistently stable ROM I've ever used.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pre4speed:
Yes I should have clarified. It is play store. They update it to block rooted users from passing safety net. Then magisk creator updates his to block their block ?.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Here you go. Be aware that you'll have to follow with root of choice. SuperSU or magisk. It will unroot device during flash so follow with root of choice.

Edit. If anyone grabs this zip apparently it won't show as a zip. You'll have to rename by adding .zip at the end of file for it to be flashable. Have no idea why it does this.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
No. That hasn't happened to me so..... But that has never happened to me at all. Just try and see.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Still_living714:
Can't flash it, it's not even showing up as a zip. Any idea?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
That's odd... No I don't... Maybe using your file manager use the rename option and add the .zip on the end? Being I see the size is still intact that may work.

I just downloaded my own upload here and it did the same for me. I used file explorer added .zip and Bam!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Still_living714:
Renaming the file helped flashing it but It gets stuck in the boot process. Wiped cache and dalvik and still nothing ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
