No... Im have a VS995 and Im on the Konverged Kernel with a "Stock" system so Im not sure if that blocks it or not? It bothered me at first but I know its about an hour anyways because of fast charging. Where can I look to see if its getting blocked?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Team DevDigitel:
i doubt he used the tweaks i did,

it would typically be at the bottom of your build.prop

system/build.prop

it would say something like sysui_notify=o or usb_notify=0

its probably kernel related. if your on the VZW phone with the ATT kernel its gonna cause some little bugs like that,

may need to try the stock VZW kernel with dm-verity patched and force encrypt patched.

i dont know if it will work as i dont have the device but i know using cross kernel breaks a good bit of features.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lumince:
Damn, well I'll just stick with it I suppose. I haven't messed with anything like that in a very long time and don't want to test my own edits. So I'll just wait for a rom to be pretty damn stable and then flash that I guess.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Team DevDigitel:
Im almost certain theres a dev on here who says hes made a stock boot.img for vzw mixed with the us996 img to bring

The wifi calling etc back and fix static on the vs995

But in return using the dev. Boot.img causes slow boot up times due to extra debug stuff being called and used and heavier battery drain as well.

The att konverged kernel is universal to all devices but it being from AT&T causes other issues like broken wifi call etc.

Swapping the boot.img isnt hard. Can use pc and push with fastboot. Or flashify or twrp to flash it.. Make a backup or have ghe konverged kernel ready if it dosnt boot.

Ill dl the stock img. From my other post and make you a modded one to test if you like. It would be stock.. With dm verity off.. Encryption off. Se linux patched and some flags off.

It should work as its the same process ive done for the ls997 but i cant test as im using the sprint variant and it wont work with my sprint rom.

Lmk by pm if you want to try and i can cook something up rather fast.

I did also notice with mt variant removing some bloat apps breaks other things it wouldnt have in other roms.

Ldb / mlt is a lg app thats for usage statistics.. But also breaks 2nd screen for time while viewing pictures.

Or the lgsetupwizard.apk it stops you from using my users mod.. But if its deleted it works.. But also makes the dialer act as if its locked and you cant directly exit a call by hitting the home button.

If you just flashed a rom or you deleted/froze some junk apps.. Make sure you didnt get something like those and removed them as I've caught some bugs from stupid sh. Lile that.

[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] this may be an absolutely ridiculous question, but if we were able to get root access and bootloader access with the debug bootloader to unlock our devices, why can't we switch our bootloader to the H918 version that allows for retail status to the kernel on the H910? There is probably some layer of security I'm not aware of, but since the T-mo bootloader can be unlocked from the command line I figured it would be worth asking about. Especially since it could be loaded via fastboot.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] shoes22:
That’s me.

And you are correct. Right now I have 2 versions of a stock kernel that I developed.

The first kernel uses the carrier-release kernels as a base and has *ALL* known bugs fixed except the static on boot. The second version is essentially exactly the same as the debug kernel that’s flashed during the dirtysanta root/unlock...except I’ve modified it to fix Wi-Fi calling and a few other kernel-related bugs. Since the second version is based off the US996 debug kernel there is no static on boot on that one, but it is slower.

I’ve basically given myself a deadline of this Sunday to see if I can work out a patch to fix the static boot on *all* stock kernels, so I can just release the first version...but if I can’t do it I’ll make both versions available to download and the people can decide what they want to flash.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Team DevDigitel:
Thanks for the feedback and updates as to where you are at*

Pm me if you need somone to run through ls997 tests going foward.

As well once we have more solid boot.imgs out ill continue to update my other post of img repositorys and their matching software versions.

I know the ls997 zv3 boot.img wouldnt work with the latest zv5 softwear. So there may be some additional updates to each boot.img as they come out with updates to the softwear

Def. Glad we have somone comfortable in toolchain /boot.img support as android N seems to be increasingly more complex and restricted.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
well... the debug is pretty much a universal bootloader. Other ones are specific to their devices. However... the 918 bootloader is unable to utilize fastboot commands properly(they still need Dirtycow). They are unable to use the flash commands. So even if it was successful in installing the bootloader it will still need another exploit to even use twrp. We have it easier than they do.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlkaliV2:
That's the info I was looking for. I knew their version didn't suffer from a static boot, but I didn't know their fastboot commands were crippled and that they needed dirty cow. Thanks for letting me know how it worked, I'm learning more about Android security the more I follow this thread :good:

[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] I am also on the ls997, Have you figured out a way to edit your apns? I have tried the settings,networks, apn names, also ##data# apn settings, and can edit or change the apn settings in the data menu(but they're not the same as the regular apn settings). In the regular settings for apn they are dark and you cant even select anything. Any advice?

Also does anyone have a list of dialer codes for the ls997? Thanks in advance.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Who-Lep:
I have the h910(at&t) and I used shortcut master light to change my APN settings. If you download the app you search all apps for APN and select APN settings(something along that) click and launch and will display the APN's and ability to edit and safe.

Hope that helps.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
This exactly.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] warfenix:
i have a problem. i get all the way to step2.sh it works and phone boots into fastboot/bootloader mode. i try to run step3.sh (sudo ./step3.sh) and it says command not found. i checks the folder and step3.sh is in the folder. my command prompt is open in the right folder as well
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] poixninja:
I think removing all spaces from folder path worked for me? Might be thinking of something else..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] warfenix:
ya just tried sudo./step3.sh and it didnt work. its just weird because sudo ./step2.sh worked fine its just sudo ./step3.sh that isnt working (command not found)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Artimis:
Very excited for these. Will they have boot state verification disabled in order to pass SafetyNet checks?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sfate2009:
That's my problem, I'm not rooted, and won't be taking root. There used to be dialer codes you could use to enter hidden menus in the phone and edit with your msl. I have shortcut master pro and quickshortcutmaker. I just don't want to root to do something as simple as edit an apn. If i was to root, that would be the only reason why, because my v20 is buttery smooth out of the box.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] warfenix:
On another note I guess. Since I only make it to the end of step 2. If I factory reset my phone will it botch it some how. Just that if I can't get step3 done I would rather reverse/get rid of anything that might have changed. Or is it to late for that

Also I only run linux I don't have windows or a mac

Edit: alright think I found the problem. I checked the permissions of step1,step2 and step3. Step1 and 2 were executable checked but step 3 was not. Is this for a reason or is it actually the problem

edit2: well that seemed to be the problem. but now i get a screen that says crash on the LK(its grey screen and has a bunch of codes) i reboot phone and tried to get to factory reset screen and i can get into twrp but i cant do anything. i tried to move file to phone but says i dont have permission and cannot write. i tried disable and enable of the MTP and no dice. i have no idea. i think they phone is a pretty brick now
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Im sorry this is going to sound rude(partially because it is...) but... Why the HELL are you asking this on a root guide when you have no intentions of rooting? just ak in the questions and answers thing. On the v20(atleast the LS997) it i impossible to edit the APNs without root. Good luck.

Your phone isnt bricked. You dont know what bricked means do you? Anyway. Reinstall TWRP and try again.

EDIT: and the no permission thing is a part of Linux. try something else or use adb push. you can type adb push (filename here) /external_sd/ and it will move the file to your sd card for you.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] warfenix:
well i got file on there finaly. op should probably update the v20.zip with the require file and fix step3 (the boott.img) and it being executable. i got to flash a file but now its says error 7 this is for H910 your are on us996) and doesnt install. i am on H910 at&t. the rom was the att notsostock rom. ill have to wait till i get home and try to dl a us996 rom i guess and try flashing that because as of right now the only thing i can do in boot into twrp.

​
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Question. What file is required in the v20 zip that isnt there? ive provided all the right files. Step 3 has a typo thats only there for redundancy. it doesnt matter so im not updating it because of 1 letter. What file is missing?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] warfenix:
file wasnt missing. it wasnt until i change the boott to boot1 and change the file permission to executable that it worked. all other file seemed to have worked it was just step3 that the permissions were different for whatever reason. thats all. im not trying to be a **** for anything i have flashed plenty of phone all the way back the original galaxy from tmobile. im not trying to ruin any ones day or anything. just hoping to get this figured out thats all. as of right now i have no os installed and i can only get into twrp and bootloader. my back up was lost some how. i can now move files to my phone while in twrp. all i have on there is the su sip and nosostock rom (that wont flash as mentioned before)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Team DevDigitel:
worked for aprox 500 other users do far hehe..

maybe its me or maybe not but i ususaly do this stuff at 2 am and not fully awake and got it done, and thats when this 1st came out and the ls997 was up shi*s creek without a paddle. Be nice to the devs, and possibly use Q&A for questions that dont pertain to the certain post, as some developers are reading EVERYTHING to try and keep their posts updated and their user base updated... sucks having to re-read requote after requote of the same 4 questions that have been awnsered 1000 times and even have 2nd posts in Q&A discussing them..

[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION]

did this work essitialy for free, its not his fault that your not willing to put in the work to re-read the 156 pages that him and many other devs took their time explaining and walking people though these things already and made sure to leave clear detailed instructions for the next person who has the same issues. Worst of the worst is posting here with a gripe and you haven't even hit thanks on the main op or even contributed back in anyway..

just my 2 cents carry on

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

open the not so stock zip, and see if the meta/com/google/updaterscript has a asserts line at the top.

its typically 2 lines of code that says if this device then yes if not then no.. delete that line and let the pc re-archive the zip.

then re-flash it. Error 7 typically is code for wrong device/file type!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
The AT&T variant allows you to add your own custom APN through the apn menu in settings, but you cannot modify the default APN. At least I am fairly certain that you are able to. I know the sprint variant does not though.

I was finally able to get the hotspot/tethering on my Sprint LS997 to work. Figured I would include the instructions for anyone else who might come searching or asking. Credit to [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4358876]c45h2012[/MENTION] [MENTION=4731846]Team DevDigitel[/MENTION]

Important:

1. This will only work on LTE/eHrpd. It does not work on CDMA. So in Settings if you have it on CDMA it will not work.

2. You will need to reapply this after a profile/prl update.

3. It will still work after a reboot

1. Download "Shortcut Master Lite" from the Playstore

2. Open it and select "Search"

3. Type in "APN"

4. Select the "com.lge.hiddenmenu.vzw_only.ApnSettings" setting

5. Select "Internet"

6. Scroll to "APN type" and type in "dun".

8. Profit!!!!

One Click root update

hey guys,

moved over from the note 7 after the disaster and i am new to adb and fast boot. i am familiar with odin for rooting samsung phones but I was wondering if the one click root program is still being developed ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
There won't be 1 click but there will be a super simplified method from the pc. It will take a while though before its a reality.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] lennybronx:
Two questions if someone could please quote and reply for me.

1. Is there a faster way to unlock? Such as a one-click

2. Is there now a way to revert back to stock?

I ask these because I'm not very informed and can't understand half the talks that occur here. Also is there xposed for nougat now? You all are far more informed than any other site or source so I'd rather ask here.

Great work and if anybody could respond I'd appreciate it
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sguerra923:
1) No

2) Not at the moment

No Xposed for Nougat
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
to better answer your questions:

1) no.. at this time its the only way.. surely in time itll be easier but not within the near future.. it will never be a 1click thats forsure as [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] already stated

2) it depends on what variant you have... if you let us know which specific device you have is, we can let you know for sure

3) Xposed is not availableforany 7.0+ devices at this time and that is something you could surely follow in xposed threads

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

some devices have means to revert to complete stock.. others dont.. you cant say no if we dont know what device he has
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
How much is known about the device the debug bootloader was found on? Did it have any sort of model number?

I'm wondering about the GPL status. True the device was likely never intended to be seen by outside eyes, but it pretty clearly escaped. I'm wondering whether you can get LGE for GPL violation for not releasing source for a device which escaped. May not be possible, but I really wonder...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrandonGlatz:
I Broke my Note 2 a couple days ago, just picked up a v20. First LG phone. Wanted to double check before I root:

Read all the posts and such, as far as I can tell the only real issues with the v20 sprint ls997 is that

A, comfort view doesnt work

and B, there is static on booting.

Anything else that I should be aware of?

Seems there is no way to go back to stock from what I see, can you not just back up /system?

As part of rooting it seems you have to flash the stock rom I assume any setup I have done before rooting will be wiped away, correct?

What is the risk factor for completely bricking the device? Rather slim it seems like right? Not my first rodeo rooting but seems like LG phones are a bit more difficult than samsung.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the hard work

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdlagain:
What do you mean 'cover the sensor'? I've been reading every page in this post over the past 2 weeks & must have missed something. My static is there forever on reboot. Is there a way to make it go away?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vardogor:
The static is there on the boot screen and the lock screen, so you have to wait until the lock screen is there, turn off the screen, then cover the proximity sensor which is right next to the camera. If you're never able to lock the screen then it's probably stuck in a bootloop.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdlagain:
No I'm properly rooted & everything is working great so no boot looping. just whenever i need to restart my phone, it does the usual black screen with "your phone is corrupt" stuff then goes to the static screen. Sometimes it vibrates. But i read how to stop that. So you're saying when it gets to that static screen on a normal start up, press the power button to turn off the screen, cover the sensor, then press the power button again to turn on the screen. Correct?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vardogor:
That is correct. When you turn off the screen, the second screen will still have static; that's why you have to cover the sensor. It turns off the second screen as well.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdlagain:
Where do i get root switcher from?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Only sprint issue is static on boot. Comfort view has been fixed forever ago. No matter the variant this method factory resets your device and wipes your internal storage. This is due to the device being originally encrypted and it needs to be decrypted before rooting(no way around this. It is a problem with TWRP I believe).

Risk of completely bricking? 0.1%(never no risk) if you actually follow the guide and arnt trying this on an unsupported device. It is always recoverable if the bootloader was properly flashed.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrandonGlatz:
can you clarify the static issue? i see some people saying it is on the main screen and some saying it is on the sub screen. if it is on the sub screen does the sub screen still function after doing the cover the light sensor cover fix?

sounds good otherwise if there are no serious issues i think ill give it a try!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Its on both until you do the fix. It will show up again when you reboot. Just do the fix again. Do keep in mind there is no return to stock for sprint.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrandonGlatz:
That's not bad then I can live with that. Gonna go ahead and give it a try once it charges. Thanks! Scary without a return to stock but meh, worth it

If you flash the werewolf kernel it will get rid of the static boot atleast it did for me i am on the sprint 997. With the teamdevv20i rom.
