I'm thinking about trying this. Just downloaded everything and I just left the HTC m9. I have the LG V20 At&t version not updated. Should I wait or just do it like Nike. How are the At&t users doing with root? We should start a thread to help each other. Thx

If I get stuck, I trust you would help if needed Mr. [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] ?

Anyone figure out the playstore 504 error I've tried wiping google play services framework and everything
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
If you follow the directions and then my post underneath then you should be fine. A lot of the issue people had throughout the thread were either driver issues, Not doing the directions right or some unknown reason. But Yes I have been helping people When I can

What is this error you speak of.? I haven't had a play store error and I don't think anyone has mentioned it( I may have missed the post if someone has)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
Not sure but did you try installing a modded Play store or install any apps similar to Lucky Patcher?

I've seen that error in a few cases from those scenarios. I'll test a couple of things since a have a full backup to roll back to at this point.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nevea:
Im on ATT and all is well. Yes needed some help but was not for root but a backup i took that corrupted my device.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] LuckyColdJohnson:
Okay,

I'm diving in.....I will make a back up to my SD card once in TWRP so I can go back to that if needed. Thank you for this

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

I'm going to make a back up once in TWRP. What back up did you take? Something I should be aware of?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
He made a backup of his Data in TWRP and then did everything. Then he restored his backup of his data and it screwed everything up and he had to start over. Data is encrypted before you erase it. Cannot apply encrypted data to an unencrypted phone. It will cause issues.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nevea:
Yes.. Listen to this man. Haha best advice by far!

but if you do run into a snag ill do my best if he is not around. :D

I'm using modded playstore but I had this problem before that
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Weird. Not a common issue either...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
if using a modded play store then your issue is more suited in the relevant thread.. no one on stock play store is having any issues which means its most likely your modded store..

but for the heck of it, what store are you using?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
So I've been able to duplicate your issue by installing chelpus' latest modded play store I've also duplicated using the same version currently running on my other device. The only oddity is that in both instances it has worked okay for about 5 minutes post install/reboot. It then suddenly started throwing the 504 error on updates and new installs. I also tried installing APK files from the web and got a corrupted error on them. These were known good APKs...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slypnslyde:
Yeah I tried installing terminal from apkmirror and got the corrupted file thing

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Chelpus latest from lucky patcher

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

I'll try the original version and see what happens
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
I've tested going to original and then updating both tests and neither went back to functional both times the 504 remained. I've had to restore to working backup twice for the tests.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
So based on others replies this seems to be unrelated to dirty santa entirely.. i also dont use amodded play store.. is it used so you could install apps that are normally locked for certain devices?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slypnslyde:
I understand this is not a dirtysanta thing but I had no problem of using the playstore til I we was rooted
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
I've used Play store mods to change my device DPI settings to allow installation of "incompatible" apps I've also used it to change my market location to allow installations not available in my locale. There are other, possibly more nefarious reasons for using a modded play store.

Edit: The one concern this raises for me is that even after reverting to the originally installed Play store version and clearing data for play store and play services, the problem remained. The concern here would be if we all begin experiencing the 504 errors the first time a new play store version is released and auto installs on our devices.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i am pretty sure it auto installs an update soon as the phone is booted up.. or at least for me because i used the us996..

was just saying is the one thing all the 504 error users have at some point used a modded play store

---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------

as [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] stated, its the first were hearing of this issue and weve been rooted/unlocked since before release lol.. what other things have you done since rooting? something mustve caused it that everyone else hasnt done if it was that way since before the modded store
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION]

One thing also not mentioned yet is that the Play store version available from Chelpus is an earlier version than the one installed on stock. This makes it like an in place downgrade. I'm wondering if that's the real issue with modded play store. Another thought is that since the error is a gateway error, there maybe an internet setting that is changed by the modded version that causes an issue. Either way, it seems like modded Play store is out of the question at this time and most likely not the fault of dirtysanta. I've gone as far as testing adding a patch to the installed play store and still do not get the issue unless I completely replace the application.

Edit: Just because I'm curious I might test again and pull logs. If I find that the issue is anything but a simple incompatibility within the modded play store, I'll post back but I think I'll find that the issue is something with the modded app.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] SketchyStunts:
Just picked up this device yesterday. So this method is based off of a engineering bootloader & the dirtycow exploit? If so, I'm on the September security patch. They patched this in November correct?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its debug firmware not engineering.. also, dirty cow wasnt patched until Dec. to my knowledge so u should be good to go
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
Heard a lot of people concerned about it being patched but no reports of the exploit not working. I just rooted mine with this method yesterday from latest patch.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] SketchyStunts:
Cool! Pretty rad it's based off that exploit lol. Yikes
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
I've been rooted since Thursday night and my Play Store is working just fine. In fact, I have even themed it using Substratum (along with all my other gapps) and have had zero issues.

There are other ways to change the way your device presents its dpi to the Play Store, or obtain apps otherwise not available to you, then using an app that was designed primarily for the nefarious purposes you spoke of earlier... :/
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
I totally agree, although I will throw out the fact that the only other way I've found (and have been using exclusively for 3 years) was via an xposed module. Since Xposed isn't currently up to Nougat, I am looking for a different method if you have any suggestions I'm all ears. I'm sure others exist but I haven't yet started looking around.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
what step are ypu guys actually on? that screen can happen, dont panic lol just need to know what step youre on
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
and yes it has usb support
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoopsdavis:
Yes, that's it exactly
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dc.wash95:
I had to use adb push. It took like 8 minutes for the ROM to go over lol. I don't think you'd be able to copy it over, since you have to format data and everything before the install. Maybe I'm wrong though
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
go into bl and flash the boot1.img again

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

its best to have it on an extsd card imo lol
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoopsdavis:
I got that screen after the command "adb restart recovery"
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
ok, if its static screen go back into fastboot and flash boot1.img again and go from there
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dc.wash95:
Try getting to fastboot again and trying:

fastboot flash boot boot1.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img

fastboot flash boot boot1.img

fastboot reboot

Then when the device turns on and connects adb reboot recovery to get to TWRP. Or use hardware buttons. Replace twrp.img with whatever your TWRP file is named
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
If you still get static after go back into bootloader and type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img

To flash twrp again.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
As long as TWRP has USB support, you can just go into Mount > USB Storage and copy the ROM over, then flash it like normal. My backup is ~80% complete so I'll be giving it a shot in a few minutes. And I just saw that [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] said it does. So that's good news! :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
It only loads the external sd card though. but it does indeed work
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
Yep. Works fine. FYI for others - you need to go into Mount > Enable MTP, and it will show up in the explorer window as a device.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoopsdavis:
I get nothing, no response. any attempts in adb gives "waiting for device"

I need to figure something else out instead of wasting you guys time. Its just not working at the moment. I'll keep you updated on my results.

Wow, congrats guys! This is some seriously amazing work and you all deserve to reap the benifits :)

If you wouldn't mind, can you please send me the source code (or upload it to Github) for dirtysanta? I am part of a team that has been working on getting root for the LG G5, and we think we may have found an exploit but I accidently nuked my LAF partition previously so I have no way of testing it. If dirtysanta has the ability to use the "dd" command under root then I could modify your code to flash the stock LAF partition back to my device and possibly unlock a whole other group of LG devices! If not I unerstand, but please consider :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dc.wash95:
Could you post up a screenshot using the Snipping Tool? Stuff happens, I don't mind trying to help out. Others have done it plenty for me
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Sorry to say that it only has access to boot and aboot. no other partitions. It uses the ATD_Exec context to flash. You can check your sepolicy to see what ATD gives you access to.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoopsdavis:
sure I'll put it together.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Actually the boot partition should work as well, as the thing I have to flash is a leaked userdebug kernel. So that would be fantastic! Can you just direct me in the correct steps to flashing the boot then?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] esqueue:
LOL, I swear that I'm not too much of a noob. What is the recommended backup program? LG backup freezes at 96% on my phone after all the processes are %100 complete oddly. I'll go learn what ADB is and where to find it in the meantime. I'm assuming that people might say, if I don't know that, then I shouldn't flash.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Ill be 100% honest. if you don't know what ADB is stay away.......
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
So when step 2 was completed I got the black screen and the device wasnt recognized even in device manager. Now I am hard bricked. Screen is black. Battery pull and everything is broken now.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
You are the only one who has hard bricked then. step 2 literally just backups the 2 boot files that were original and then reboots you to fastboot(bootloader). try puling the battery out and making sure its unplugged and putting the battery back in. then turn it on by holding down VOL- and plugging it in(do not press the power button).

I just looked and please tell me you are not T-Mobile? Your profile says you are T-Mobile and this is NOT for the H918.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
Yeah after step 2 it went to a black screen and nothing. I tried doing the volume- and plugging in
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
Did the konverged kernel last night and have noticed a lot of improvement lagwise, everything going smooth without a hitch. I know that the op said to not make a backup of data because of the encrypted/unencrypted issue, but now that root and everything is good, is it safe to make a backup that I can restore to if things go bad in the future?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
what rom are you on and howare you using substratum?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Yes. You can make a backup once you have data decrypted(after first wipe)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Datblkbro:
Unplug battery. Put battery back plug in while connected to pc also do this while holding the volume down key
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
I wouldn't even try. he probably did it on a H918 and bricked it.(he carrier info says T-Mobile)

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] saboture:
I just searched through this thread and haven't seen much of people flashing the available roms. I used this bootloader unlock method and it worked flawlessly. Flashed the konverged kernel and that took care of everything the process broke. As an AT&T H910 user, is it possible for me to flash the "not so stock" rom for the H918 by Tilde88? Generally flashing roms from other phone variations is a no go so I was just curious if in this case it's acceptable provided I back up my APNs and what not, along with a Nandroid of course. Thanks, this is awesome stuff here.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
I am on the DeOdexed ROM from the OP (US996) on the Sprint variant (LS997)

I am using Substratum ONLY for my GAPPS to black them out. Not the ROM itself (I tried and it doesn't work).

Here are the steps for those interested -

1. Grab the latest Team Blackout (TBO) updater app (you can get it here)

2. Download the latest theme ready GAPPS from within the app - (MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE "ARM64 LP MM N" VERSION!!)

3. Reboot to recovery (you may need to manually mount the /system partition once you get into TWRP)

4. Make a nandroid backup before anything

5. Flash the GAPPS you downloaded earlier, wipe cache/dalvik and then reboot

6. Install Substrtum from the Play Store, and also install your theme of choice...

7. In Substratum, make sure you ONLY select the GAPPS packages that you installed from TBO and install them...

8. Reboot and PROFIT! :) :)

I am currently using the High Contrast LG theme for the phone, and the Beltz theme (well worth the couple of bucks that it costs) and my phone is ~95% blacked out. I love it!!

I have attached screenshots from Google+, Play Store and Gmail to show how it looks...

Well... do not give any files, with Konverged Kernel, (aka, bootanimation.zip) special permission (rw-r-r-T), you may lose root and ramdisk access and corrupt SD card, according to the phone, SD card still works on computer and other devices and in TWRP.

On another note, could someone with H910 upload a working TWRP backup of Boot and System partition please? If anything at least the Boot partition should be all i need.

If you wiped dalvik/cache you will have to wait 15-20 minutes for it to boot. Once it actually boots you can then turn the screen off by pressing the power button and flip it over to turn off the secondary screen. When you turn the screen back on it should be back to normal.
