Hello!

First, thanks for the great work on root LG v20.

I would like to ask for help, since I followed the DirtySanta method step by step on my LG VS995 (that I bought Network Unlocked on Ebay and tested well before attempt to root by this method, and I also previously successfully rooted many phones including my previous LG V10).

I was able to made the process, and as far I could until the long vibrate reboot step 2 and then with step3, I got message saying <waiting for device> on Step3.bat, I checked device drivers and didn't found issues, so I simply Unplug USB cable and replug , then my VS995 was recognized in the terminal window of screen of Step3 and the process of step3 was completed.

Then I did the command adb reboot recovery and the phone restarts to display the "red triangle and say corrupt" screen, but then I didnt boot in TWRP, and after show the initial screen of Verizon, i shows the screen of asking secure password.

I was checking about this issue and since I could not able to boot into TWRP and have a 2 attemps lost in the secure boot count, since by now I still able to enter the phone in Fastboot mode, I try to do a Data partition wipe with command fastboot erase userdata and in the screen of the phone, it shows that Data was erased, so I try again to boot in TWRP or try to boot to setup screen, BUT, no luck and only go to secure screen that after my attempts shows now only left 4 attempts to password available until total lock brick of the phone (it seems that every boot that reach the triangle seems to increase the account of lost attempts and make me more near to lock (brick) the phone.

So, please, before I could fall in a total brick phone lost, I would like kindly ask for some help about how to try to sort this... I wonder if may be step3 was not well finished, and now I could not restart the whole process since every time that I turn on the phone and allow to boot the red triangle, It reduces my count to brick my phone.

I wonder about if manually flash the twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img recovery file in fastboot mode, may allow me to boot in TWRP in my current phone state, but I didnt know what could be the proper command for an LG V20 since looking in google shows confusing answers other models and I confused about what could be the proper command/process for this model...

Also, since DirtySanta method is in several steps linked I wonder if manually flashing the twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img recovery, may works of if the access to TWRP menu is compromised/linked to a completion of previous steps in the same session (that by now I am not able to repeat because the locking account screen not allow me to boot any longer in normal mode of the phone).

As far I could understand by now the command seems to be:

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

but since I have a very limited numbers of attempts before my phone could be locked, I would like to ask for help/advice if this may could work, and allow me to enter in TWRP without trip more false attempts to the lock account number that may lock my phone.

Please excuse if my english is messy, and I hope I may explained clearly my situation.

Thanks for kind attention and if may be some help it would be very gratefull...
