First of all, using Windows and such browser are the probably the bigger issues, but whatever. I read through the first ~120 pages of this thread and I haven't seen anyone with the same problem, so it is most likely not a Trojan, furthermore, the only files that you are executing are the step (in your case) .bat executables, which you can freely inspect and modify for yourself and only contain a collection of adb and fastboot commands for your convenience. I would just try different mirrors on androidfilehost, since it is still possible that you have downloaded a corrupted copy, until you find one that isn't identified as a "Trojan", but at the end of the day it might just be miss-identified as a virus. Here is a mediafire link to the unzipped files, be sure to check the .bat executables regardless, since you never know and there was a miss-spelled 'boot1.img' in one of the .sh scripts and it softbricked my bootloader.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wayase8080:
Sorry for unintentionally ignoring your post until now, but if it is of any help: I encountered the same issue, where logcat gave no output, neither through adb, nor on the terminal emulator on the phone itself apart from the same lines you posted, I've tried looking at the logfile manually, but to no avail. I still proceeded regardless since I've regained the shell prompt and terminal output showed a successful exploit... and from what I can tell, it turned out fine. My best guess would be that maybe the command is deprecated for something newer, similar to 'fastboot flash' being replaced by 'fastboot flash:raw', or the command being updated and no longer showing the desired lines such as 'dirty santa', but the guess itself is a very wild one.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wayase8080:
The static screen is apparently a consequence of flashing boot1.img when unlocking the bootloader, I myself don't know how to fix it permanently, but I think there should be some answers in this thread. A temporary solution is holding your finger against the proximity sensor and pressing the power off button to lock it and then press it again to power it on.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxseva44:
dirty santa breaks something related to the second screen, solution is to flash a kernel that has that issue patched, vs995 has said patch, although if your not on a us996 variant (vs995, h910, h915, us996) DO NOT FLASH a vs995 kernel

Before I toss another C-note into the fire (they may yet still be a way to revive the US996 ( I hozed, for lack of a clear & valid Man-Page) -

You're saying the variants listed ^^ are essentially the same hardware with different firmware?

It's cheaper to order the board off Ail-Express and have shop replace it (My hands are too far gone for micro-surgury now)

Right now I've got a US996 that fastboot / adb "see" but can't DO anything with... LGUP, uppercut are saying "No Recognized Device"

Any thot's Please?

Dont own this device anymore (excellent phone) but when you open LGup do it as administrator (run as adminstrator) if that does not work? Try lg flashtool 2014 it was the only one that ever let me flash devices back to stock, Devices: H910, F800l,

Good luck with it

TY for the feedback -

Had I not tried everything (but maybe I skipped 'Flashtool') and got the same ___ result wouldn't have asked... Device won't boot, get's stuck @ the LG Screen. However Vol-, plug in USB powers on into DL mode... fastboot SEES it, getvar-all spits out it's serial identifier...

Not sure I've tried "Flashtool" (yet) - LGUP, Uppercut (Bridge, PC-Suite) all of 'em say 'No Device Connected'... Maybe Flashtool will acknowlege the USB connection...

VERY grateful of feedback - maybe someone will advise how to tell if this is "Sahara" or that 9008 error.

Hello community,

(sorry if my english is bad)

I'm in trouble, like in post #41 (page 3)

I have TV screen problem when the screen with the Red Triangle with a "!" inside appears.

I can access to twrp but I don't know what to do.

I wipe data / cache / dalvik.

I'm on point 5 of the tuto (I suppose because I tried and retried manipulations)

I'm on linux.

When i do "adb reboot bootloader", the phonere start , LG appears,

and after, I wait (for 1hour) but the screen stay on the circle blue logo.

I see in the twrp file manager that I have no file in /boot.

Is it normal ?

My intention is to install lineageOS.

Thank you for your time and help.

Need a kind of step-by-step,

I tried to help myself but it is beyond my understanding.

By following this other tutorial (https://highonandroid.com/android-root/how-to-root-lg-v20-attsprintverizonkorean/),

I see that the phone is restarting on android but

I find myself with the display of post # 4085 (page 205).

Is there any way to kill the incessant buzzing on the vs995? When powered on, it doesn't stop until I reboot it. Very strange. Great phone otherwise, actually it's the best phone I've ever used. Once you remove some of the junk with package manager and check it with accubattery, it can last a couple of days in between charges. I haven't even upgraded the battery yet. Works well with xbrowser, firefox is the worst.

I did something similar but rebooted out of TWRP without installing the ROM on the Sprint variant. This might work for others, but what I did was follow method one of the reset guide here, and it took me to the "device is corrupt" screen, followed by the LG screen, then back into TWRP.

Uh-oh...I might be in trouble here... Question for the masses...

I rooted successfully, then I had a couple problems restoring my apps. So I thought I'd just wipe everything and start over. So I rebooted to recovery, wiped everything in TWRP then went to reboot. It said something to the effect of "no os, are you sure" and now I'm stuck at the LG screen. Did I somehow manage to actually delete the entire rom like an idiot?

I'm kind of freaking out... I can't boot into anything, I can get into fastboot, but I can't get to the point where I can use adb, I can't get into TWRP...

Am I bricked? Is there anything I can do?

I believe I did the same thing as both of you. No operating system. Where did it go ?

When you are not rooted, a factory reset or wipe doesn't do anything to a read-only partition. If you have root, its able to delete the partition.

We have to wait until someone does a TWRP backup of the full system image.

Just a swipe up on the home screen should suffice. Enter your password or touch the fingerprint reader if that ain't enough. I've been using this for a long time and rarely reboot, but as soon as the OS appears, a touch is enough to quell the vibration.

In 3 days, it will be 5 years since I wrote those instructions. It's very possible that things have changed with the bootloader or overall system since then, and I no longer have that device so unfortunately, I am unable to help you out with your error. My only suggestion is to read through the more recent comments since I wrote it and see if anyone else has experienced similar issues and possibly has a resolution for you. Sorry bud! Good luck!

What's your phone model? Never mind

Are you typing in?

"applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta"

If it doesn't show up as "Untrusted_app", repeat the above steps from Number 1

5) Watch the RUNMEFIRST dialog for when it tells you to run Step2. Then;

On Windows, double-click "Step2.bat"

Looks like you may have to try again.

@me2151

Does anyone have a fix for this?

I am trying to ROOT an LG F800L

These instructions work up until you do the backupboot flash. Once it reboots, then it is all STATIC.

Then I found this and it says to flash BOOT2; but then you get the Secure Setup and it asks for a password. Yes, I did FORMAT DATA in TWRP or is there something I am missing there? Plus, if I flash the backup or boot1, then it does not do the Secure Setup; so that implies that BOOT2 is doing something.

So how do you get this to work for the F800L ? It seems like I either get STATIC or I get SECURE SETUP; which means I am screwed either way. I can always stick with Boot1 but then it is super laggy and whatnot.

I can at least ALWAYS go back to STOCK; but I spent like 2 days just going back and forth with these instructions.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:

i came to this thread as i recently bought a F800L for $35 and I thought it would be fun to root it and be able to hack the machine address and get free COX internet and other stuff.

but after reading a lot of these V20 ROOT threads, i've come to the conclusion that there is no way it could be worth the amount of work and hassle i see everyone having, so its with a heavy heart and a somewhat defeated spirit i'll ask this one final question...

does anyone know of a fairly bulletproof guide that works with rooting a F800L? i can't deal with 18 steps or anything like that...just a simple 4-7 step guide on how to take a up-to-date F800L and root it with a modded ROM?

advTHANKSance!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] menriquez:
so your telling me I can flash this Stock_LS997 ROM on my F800L and will have no issues at all with that? bcuz im finding info all over saying if you try to flash the wrong firmwares that you will brick your device very quickly?

i really do want to get rid of all the korean bloat thats currently on the phone, but i don't want any bricking headaches...that's FOR SURE.

thanks to everyone for all the hard work they have put into this so my sorry ass can just read one post and have it spoon fed to me!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DonChino:
@menriquez

Do not be such a scaredy cat, because we are all taking risks; but very difficult to "brick" the LG V20, since I have gone back to stock like 10 times now. 😿

But I have to pass it forward; because these guys have been wonderful and I finally have my LG F800L running smooth with Android 9.0.

I will not repeat the steps all over; but someone pointed me to the Korean thread on XDA where they handle all the Korean variants. The Korean thread hooked it up and I basically "mashed" the me2151 and ezzony guides together and have my LG F800L running. Very happy with the results and it is on Android 9.0; so you are welcome to follow the conversation over there.

Looking to play with /e/OS and planning to use my secondary device first to test the waters. I have an LS997 (Sprint varient) that was previously unlocked using DIrty Santa if I recall. Currently running TWRP recovery, LineageOS 18. Works fine, mostly. But the boot time is ANNOYINGLY long because of the stupid red '!' "your device is corrupt" error.

Is there a way to fix this? I don't care to go back to stock, and this thing is long out of warranty (with LG not making phones anymore anyway) and doesn't have much value anyway so I don't mind the risk.

Oh BTW what is the worst thing that could happen if you (deliberatly) flash the wrong KDZ file to the phone? Sprint is now T-mobile and uses standard SIM and GSM technology like the rest of the world anyway, and I tested my T mobile SIM in the phone and it worked fine.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Hang on, your ls997 works on tmobile? They told me it wouldn't work with the 3g shut off. Even tho ls977 don't need 3g signal. Hence 4g lte. This is kinda big imo.

If I could fully root my ls997 current oreo, that would be sweet, but last I knew full bootloader unlock root past early 7.0 is impossible. Temp root is better then nothing still.

My current tmobile phone is a a71 5g. Unrootable from what I know past 2021 firmware. Was told needed to continue service. Lies like I thought I guess.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] powermaxim:
Well, I say "fine" compared to my rooted Pixel 4A running Lineage, it does not pick up a signal as well inside the building at work. The LTE is almost uselessly slow with high packet loss. The Pixel 4A is not much better but it almost gets the sub-6 5G signal and both can work moderatly well if I keep the phone on my desk and play with the position a bit, or place it on a high shelf. Though very recently it seems the signal has gotten much worse and I have to walk to the analog repeater in the building to get a better signal, or outside.

I have yet to quantify the latency, jitter, and bandwidth since I performed the fresh flash of it while at work and had practically no network access to install anything of value. The "LTE" was about the speed of 1xRTT. i.e. it didn't work ,whereas on my Pixel it would be on the order of 1Mbps with latency around 1000ms-5000ms to infinite (lost packet) 40% of the time. At home it seems to pick up LTE better with around 20Mbps download and 50ms latency, whereas my Pixel would switch between LTE and NR-NSA with speeds all over the place from 3G speeds up to... well I've seen peaks on the order of 200Mbps, speeds.

I do notice that, like on my Pixel, I am getting constant "micro dropouts" like where the LTE goes away, it might connect to H or H+, or even EDGE or 1xRTT for a bit until I cycle airplane mode and wait for it to re-enumerate the connection for LTE or 5G. I have NO IDEA why this is happening, on Sprint there was an option to "update PRL" which would fix these types of issues until I move to a different cell location and have similar intermittent issues like this. It actually seems much less frequent on the V20, though I have not played with it much. This and the unreliable SMS/MMS send/receive and a huge plefora of bugs I have on LineageOS (constant ANRs, only 1 camera detected, top microphone not working, have to use headset for loudspeaker or for facebook messenger, things just not working the way they should...) So I am fiddling with my old V20 to see whether I want to convert to /e/OS.

Oh, and I think at one point I flashed something (ROM or recovery?) that was supposed to be for the US996 model since the LS997 would fail the check for the model of phone that I have. Even though I know for fact it is actually a LS997. Maybe I turned effectively into a US996 at some point lolol
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] powermaxim:
OK so it turns out that mobile voice and SMS might not work after all. I might try playing with the APN and sim and roaming settings a bit more, but as of right now I can't send or receive SMS messages or make calls.
