Will it work on LG G5 or LG G4?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
Depending on how you were rooted and how you used previous devices, it can be easy to forget that this is possible. Everyone please remember that when you do a wipe after this root method, you can and WILL wipe your system partition.

This wouldn't be a big problem but we don't have the carrier specific stock roms available until we get people to do system only backups from TWRP and post them.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

No, it uses LG V20 specific debug firmware/kernel.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] grrump:
For future reference, how are we wiping our partition. This definately isn't my first Root, but I fall in this group that may have wiped. I want to make sure I don't do it again.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cordell12:
did OP explain/say why were are limited to the debug kernel?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] fenrir_ac:
Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. Does it really wipe the data and reset the device however, based on the question after the splash screen?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
Not exactly but he did PM me that the stock kernel is specifically the cause of the static screen issue that people see. If we were to attempt any modding it would probably have to use the debug kernel as the base since it plays well with the debug BL.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Double0EK:
No. If TWRP is truly installed it won't wipe it. It will just take you to TWRP.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
Yeah, I think the problem is that people aren't taking enough time to fully read and understand the instructions. I wish the moderators would split the V20 into separate variants now that we have root for all of them.

Only those of us who have SPRINT (LS997) devices should be wiping their /system partition! Everyone else - don't do it or you'll be in trouble! Lol.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
you are incorrect.. this method does not wipe the system entirely.. in fact, those outside of Sprint should be able to keep their stock firmware outside of boot aboot and recovery.. maybe those are not reading but typically only the Sprint model is supposed to be erasing system
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoopsdavis:
I was able to install Youtube version 10.47.55 and it works fine.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-10-47-55-release/#downloads
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i wouldnt even call it trouble lol.. its fixable as long as they have fastboot.. if they do wipe their only option would be the stock deodexed us996 rom however lol

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

because theres issues making the phone unuseable on any other boot.img as of right now.. if you want to do this you must use debug boot.img or else you should wait until other working boots are available.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwertz:
This worked for mine. Greatly appreciated. I think my /system was not mounting
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] c45h2012:
Im using the konverged kernal for the h918 runs smppth only issue is static screen after boot simply face phone face down to shut off both displays then turn back on static screen gone youtube works comfort view works

Im on vzw but using the 996 deodexd rom
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Yes i was going to add this to the op(or my reserved) as a fix. Download the konverged kernel for the h918 and you will still have a messed up screen( im digging into dtsi files to figure it out) that can be foxed after boot by turning off the screen then putting your hand over the front camera to turn off the 2nd display. Once both screens are off it will work normally until reboot
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cordell12:
static screen gone for good after this, or every time the display comes on you need to trip sensors to get rid of it?

edit....answered in post above and works great on ATT version
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] LRiley:
on vs995 it seems the hifi doesnt work. it sound the same on or off. also cant activate advanced calling
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Just updated the Reserved post guys! check it out and test those features. Then tell me what is and is now working still!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] c45h2012:
I have no issues with hifi what kind of music files are you using i dont notice any difference on .mp3 files but significant difference on my .flac
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] LRiley:
I use mp3 and the difference was pretty significant before this
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] c45h2012:
Mp3 are not hifi audio try it with a flac file and let me know couldve just been placebo effect before
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkPaladin23:
I'm going to try and run through this and test today now. Using an AT&T H910.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
What a difference! Not only does YouTube, etc. work now, but the lag I was noticing periodically seems to be gone as well! And my Bluetooth quirks are gone too. :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] LRiley:
Definitely not a placebo...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] frome901:
Any body that's rooted on H910 At&t try to run viper audio? Does Android Pay work? What about exposed? I'm planning on rooting but I'm more of an Odin guy, and was never really good at ADB but it seems straight forward.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Android pay does not work because the device is rooted. Xposed is not available for 7.0 yet
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krillen:
Android pay has never really worked on a rooted phone accept my accident but that was fixed my google.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] goobieracing:
sorry if this has been talked about but i have the verizon model and after step 3 it wont boot to main screen and stuck at the verizon boot screen vibrating. Can i fix this or did i miss something? Thank you in advance

edit: never mind i read past the step i was on and got the info i need thanks!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
Running V4A from the tutorial here on my rooted H910. Like me2151 said, Android Pay will not work on rooted phones - nor will it run on phones with an unlocked bootloader. Xposed is not compatible with Nougat (7.0+) - therefore, no xposed for us until there is an update).

[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION], question - the H910 is currently at 10C (unless there was an update i didn't see before doing this). I see that the Konverged Kernel has some changes on github for 10b H910PR. Wonder if the 10c has some differences that fixes the static? Or I could be way off - just a thought.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nrod0784:
Nevermind, figured it out on my own. Thanks!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Its funny because the debug kernel is 10d :D
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lonewolf17a:
I was having the same issue.

You need to point command prompt to the ADB directory. Try typing cd/adb into command prompt then fastboot flash boot boot2.img

Hope this works bud!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nrod0784:
On sprint here, and it has been about an hour with the long boot times, but all is well. I'm on the last boot now and its at 60% on the Android is Starting part. Cheers, and if you follow the directions precisely, you should have no issues. Take your time and make sure you are reading correctly and just being patient.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] leyvatron:
Is anyone going to create a script that installs everything on its own? Phone is recognized and shows up on ADB devices but everytime I click on the first file a command prompt pops us and doesn't do anything. Next I click on the first step and the the same pop-up happens. Tried a few times and can't get anything to work.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
u cant do a script for everything as some involves commands on term emu on the device itself
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] leyvatron:
Dang, that's right. I forgot about the phone commands.

Has anyone tested the IR remote after doing this unlock method? I can't seem to get any to work now and would appreciate some more input.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lonewolf17a:
Has anyone had a problem with being forced into TWRP? Everytime I power down my device it boots right into TWRP and I can't get past it. I can still get into Fastboot. But I can no longer access the system.

I've redone the "step3.bat" and followed through from there with no avail.

Tried flashing the US996 Rom and still puts me right into TWRP.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Depends on the app you are using. I have Anymote Smart Remote. If you have this app you have to go to the settings once you are rooted and choose "Alternative IR commands". Should fix it right up.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
Just fired up quick remote, surprisingly it still had all my presets in it from before root. But mine seems to work fine.

I am running a rooted VZW v20, did all the steps in the OP to completion and would now like to install the kernel updated in the reserved post. I haven't flashed any roms or the deodexed ROM floating around. When I try to flash the kernel it just kicks back some errors. Any ideas as to why?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nevea:
Are you flashing through TWRP?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bread Bucket:
Yes, I reboot to recovery using quick reboot, it says TWRP and I go to install.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] leyvatron:
How do I do that? Running Windows 10 on a surface pro.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nevea:
Is the .Zip on your SD? and if so is your SD possibly corrupt? Also try re downloading the the update and transferring to it again. Might of became corrupt with download or transfer.

Right-Click > Run as Admin.

How to Right-Click Surface Pro:

"Press and hold the item that you'd usually right-click with a mouse. You'll see a little square form around it. Press and hold can require a little while to master if you aren't used to touchscreens. One quick tap will just open the item as usual."
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] c45h2012:
Right click run as administrator
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bread Bucket:
I don't have an SD card, can the kernel zip not be run from the internal storage?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nevea:
Not 100% sure, I used an SD card because the guide said to.. :/ I dont see why it wouldnt work without one.. but the devs know best.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryuk359:
OK so it is better to flash the konverged kernel or stay on stock for the h910? I dont use comfort view, YouTube, or FM. Just wondering in terms of battery and performance issues.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nevea:
Dev said completely up to you if you would wanna do the update. I have H910 as well and did it and it definitely seems to be running faster and smoother.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
What are the errors. We needs specifics.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] poixninja:
was flashing the boot2 img all that you did to fix it? im having same issue
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] goobieracing:
What I did after waiting on the Verizon screen 30 mins was skip to next step
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] poixninja:
How did you get to recovery? key combo wont work for me and adb wont because its still booting

Edit: nvm, think i got it all working! thanks yall
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] goobieracing:
Sorry I meant to tell you more but I had some technical difficulties. I not gonna lie I was freaked at that point. I actually pulled the battery after the wait and rebooted it and it was still stuck so i did "adb reboot recovery". Then moved to step

4- Verizon(VS995) and ATT(H910):

4.1) Flash SuperSU.zip

4.2) Go back to Main-menu > Wipe > [Format Data] > Type ?Yes?

4.3) Go back to Wipe > Advanced > Check Dalvik, Data and Cache > Slide to wipe

4.4) Go back to Main-menu > Reboot > System

and so on.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] leyvatron:
Thanks guys. I tried and get a popup permission (administrator), I accept, command prompt pop up and dissapears.

it works for me.. what rom n kernel etc. are you on
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] toskabab:
I just rooted my US Cellular US996 using this method. I can confirm that it works! The only extra step I used was flashing the deodexed US996 rom posted by [MENTION=1325580]Tilde88[/MENTION]. I had to wipe and flash the rom 2 or 3 times before it stopped giving me the decryption error, but it finally worked! Warning for anybody wanting to try it, there will be many steps where you will think you bricked your device. At one point my screen went snowy with black lines through it. A reboot into recovery with another wipe/flash did the trick. Thank you so much to the devs who made this possible!

Ok so I am very grateful for this method. on my VS95, however the constant boot vibration is killing me when I swap batteries in the middle of the night.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] grrump:
Jaydroid the same thing happened to me. I was stuck going back to twrp for 2 days. Unfortunately I stumbled through so many different steps trying to fix it that I couldn't tell you what fixed it. What dwertz said above did reset me and sent me in another direction that helped me. I eventually ended up on the us996 Rom that I tried flashing about 5 different times. Im very happy with it. Keep at it. Not sure if a lot of us took a wrong turn somewhere or our phones just reacted a little different.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lonewolf17a:
Yep. I was having the same problem with TWRP. The above was the only fix I found and it took me a solid hour to get the button combo just right. If you still have the red triangle like myself, the button combo happens before that pops up. To clarify, so you're not wasting your time like I did. You'll try the button combo listed in the quote as soon as the LG logo pops up. If it goes past that to the red triangle, you missed your shot. Pull the battery and try again.

Also. It should be noted once you get into that separate menu and answer yes twice to wipe the phone. It will throw you back into TWRP. Dont be discouraged! In TWRP go to reboot>system.

Now! I have a few questions im hoping some one could help with.

Does the red triangle ever go away?

Vibration during boot?

and the big one...

Does anyone know why the kernel crashes while my phone is asleep?

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!! I feel like I've got my old Note2 again and I'm fixing to flash PA! What a great ROM. Haha.

Thanks again.

Still getting kernel crashes. Any advice guys?

I should note, I believe this only happens while charging. But I'm waiting to see that.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Try the konverged kernel
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lonewolf17a:
Thanks for the reply. I have. It's actually what I'm on now. Still crashing. I have to guess it was a process error while flashing the boot and TWRP. Also. It happened again without the charging being plugged in.

Now I'm left with, it crashes during deep sleep. That's all I got. Haha.

I was thinking, if anyone had a stock VS995 ROM I could flash it, factory reset, get back into the ROM once it boots up and try the entire process over again.

But that may be faulty logic.

Thanks me2151.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
there isno vs995 rom.. you wouldve needed to make a backup
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lonewolf17a:
I understand that. I've figuratively scoured the threads to see if there is one.

At any rate. If I was to come across one, would my line of logic work?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
I am going to be testing a way to go 100% factory today on my sprint. If it works we may have a solution and ill make a new thread for that
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AthieN:
Not that I'm volunteering lol, but just out of curiosity, has anyone tried flashing one of the H918 ROM's to the LS997? I'm only asking because if the kernel for it works on our device, one would think that the rest of the ROM would too (as long as you fix the apn's, boot.img, etc.) right? Just curious. :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
I think someone did on the F800L
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] chippinganimal:
So this will work on the LG G5, but with a different userdebug bootloader? Someone uploaded one in the Sprint LG G5 section that might work then...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
if they have a debug aboot in theory it should work the same
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] chippinganimal:
ah ok. Thread in question is here but the dl link seems to be dead. I'll send a PM to the OP of that thread to see if he can reupload it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i am not sure if he has anactual debug firmware as the firmware he linked that was used leads to a stock zv4 firmware.. he might have just edited it and found a way to flash it
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Thats exactly what he did. He just edited it to say userdebug
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] chippinganimal:

Anybody having issues with trying to install any type of YouTube app. I keep getting"app not installed" file might be corrupted
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mvincent:
Did the vibration just stop on reboots or on full power down and power up??? My VS995 only does it now on complete power off and on like when I change the battery. I didn't flash any kernel yet to see if that helps. Was going to flash The "Konverged Kernel for LG V20 [H918]" to my VS995.

Also, what is everyone doing to fix the fact that we lost the ability to read/write anything other than FAT on the SDHC cards? It is very slow and I cant transfer some of my old files due to the limitations.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
the kernel everyones flashing is konverged but read in op or 2nd post about it before you flash it..

and no vibrate on battery pull, full power down, normal reboots, reboots from recovery etc.. no vibrate anymore at all

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

someone purchased a device that already had the debug firmware on it. I believe you need to find someone with access to said firmwares and try to get it that way but probably has to be someone at lg or a carrier etc. if at all possible or get lucky and find a device somewhere with it like we did
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
For the SD card issues. the issue is resolved by flashing the Konverged kernel. The debug kernel just doesnt have the capability for anything other than FAT. exFAT works fine on Konverged.
