Use rootswitch. It disables root for however long you like and that allowed people to play pokemon go and use android pay

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Did you flash the konverged kernal? I hear that fixes quite a few issues and bugs that the root method caused. If so, I havent done it myself, so I cant help much further.

Another notice to people PMing me still.

If anyone needs help but doesnt want to ask in the dirtysanta thread or cannot ask there just make a new thread and mention me like [MENTION=5477644]tooandrew[/MENTION] did. I always look at my mentions. DO NOT PM ME YOUR QUESTIONS. I have literally gotten 4 PM's in the last 12 hours about the static on boot. ITS IN THE GUIDE.

Running into issues where their Manager app won't install, says to install manually, but then it fails when I try to flash the zip in TWRP.

Same issue here too where it won't install through TWRP at all, so I'm wondering if I'm running into some other little hiccup. I was able to flash SuperSU at the time I rooted without any issues, though I haven't tried any other files directly since. I'll keep plugging away and see if I find some magic.

EDIT: Oops, flashing suhide was a bad idea lol. Stuck on the vzw splash again. Looks like my play time is done until I can get home and get this back to recovery - hardware button combos aren't getting me there. Oh well, was worth a shot.

So how do you open a seperate terminal in this

Open a Separate Terminal next to the RUNMEFIRST terminal, then type:

Code:

./Step1.sh

# OR

bash ./Step1.sh

Im holding shift and right click to open command windows here??
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
I had the first terminal already open after executing the RUNMETFIRST.bat, and then I went back into File Explorer and double clicked on Step1.bat and it opened a second cmd/terminal window by itself..

HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE shoutout to Emilicious for walking me through this.. I most likely would have freaked out about 7 times during the root process if it wasn't for her informing me that, "that's normal", so big props to you miss..! Now to get a custom rom on here..!

So going off what [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] gave about not backing up the data ( during this step i backed up data with system and boot ). I only want to retrieve the text messages from my stock file. is this possible without losing root?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lumince:
Ouch... Should have asked about it! I did the same thing on my note 7 when I was at work and it was a pretty terrible day...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] shoes22:
No it’s not possible. If you’re talking about a TWRP backup while the data partition was still encrypted, it’s next to useless. If you had it encrypted but the partition is still currently running on your device thats a different story and you have options.

In the future to backup stuff like text messages and internal stroage data, it’s easier to just use one of the many backup apps from the Play Store, Google or LG’s built-in backup options, or Titanium Backup.

So after unlocking the bootloader, tried step 3 but keeps saying waiting for device, I have the latest lg drivers and adb-setup-1.4.3 setup! if I restart the phone, the static tv thing comes on as people earlier described

Is the snapchat a carrier specific issue of not being able to log in? I'm on verizon and rooted and it works for me
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
Are you on a particular ROM, or did you just root and leave it at that? I did read somewhere in a thread that if you had installed and logged in prior to installing SuperSU (I think that was the step) and whatnot, then it worked. Maybe it was in the order in which you hit setup and such? I'm also Verizon, and was a no go for me but I did the entire OP steps prior to even logging into anything after setting up. Reset my password before I realized why it wasn't letting me log in. I didn't try to create a new account to see if that worked either.

I'm stuck in a logo loop at the moment, but I figure I'll try a variety of different things when I get home and have the computer handy to get into recovery and such. I think that annoys me the most today, is that no combination of button presses/releases/presses will get me into TWRP until then. I backed up everything right before my last attempt, but I just can't get back to restore it yet lol. It just goes straight past the LG logo right to the corrupt device warning screen, that there's just no timing way to get any button presses to get there.

I'm just going off the words of the fantastic minds here, that as long as I have TWRP, then nothing can't be undone. So I have no fretting on my end just annoyed that I don't get home for another two hours to mess with it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
I am on the stock setup with the konverged kernel from the dirty Santa exploit. But I also went to the not so stock ROM and now back to stock. Doing data wipes both time. (not a fan of dirty flashing) and I have to go and reinstall my apps. Never had an issue with it. Or with YouTube not working now that I think about it.

And I was able to get snapchat and everything working no problems.

Edit: for not being able to get into recovery, have you tried the volume down and power, then as soon as the lg logo appears let go of power while keeping volume down pressed in, then not even a second later press and hold power again. If you have twrp installed you press yes twice fpr the data reset and it should go to twrp
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
I'll try the kernel after I wipe everything tonight too, and see. I did make a backup as soon as I had TWRP installed, so I have that as a base to get to if I need. Since yours is working, obviously it's possible. Just have to find the sequence of events.

And that's where my problem is - The LG logo only flashes before the corrupt screen. So trying to get the button released and repressed gets me nowhere. As soon as the corrupt screen pops, all hope is lost lol. Straight vibrate for ever after that. I keep trying though, thinking I can somehow get it. Thank God for my mousepad cushion, otherwise people would've been hearing a lot of buzzing from my desk the last two hours.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
If all else fails, they do have a complete stock unroot method for verizon available. If you want to start back from square one to try and get it working.

And I remember the feeling of complete panic when the vibration started and I got the static screen. Did an instant battery pull when I saw that lol.

Good luck with it and I hope ot gets worked out!

If it says waiting for device then your fastboot driver is not installed

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhelm23:
Been following this thread since the beginning, but I haven't rooted yet. Does this mean the 13A patch will work with the root method without going back to 12?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
Try unplugging it from the PC if it still is while booting. Long shot, but I went through that, and then when I was unplugged, it went. Maybe a coincidence, but worth a shot?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thisisrdn101:
I just redid step 3 and waiting now, unplugged cable from the computer! I do have a question, can I flash a rom when I boot into twrp? Or does it need to run first boot in order to go back and flash a rom?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenbrownstone:
The applypatch/system/bin...do you that in the terminal on the phone or in the computer terminal? Keep getting not found on phone emulator.Just wanted to make sure I was doing right before I tried again

I flashed suhide, which broke it, so I dirty flashed the same ROM with suhide at the same time in TWRP and it works fine. I'm back into my Snapchat. You should use the suhide GUI app, imo.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
I'm on 13A verizon, and it worked just fine (aside from my own shenanigans working on the Snapchat thing). But the rooting process worked fine.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thisisrdn101:
so first time boot isnt booting for me, Can I redo step 3 , boot into twrp, factory reset, wipe dalvik, data then install NRD90M Modded NotSoStock ROM v5.5 ???
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lumince:
Did you flash the rom and then suhide? Or is there a multi selection install? (Havent touched full root w/ twrp in a very long time)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vardogor:
There's a multiselection install, select the ROM then press add more zips and select suhide then swipe
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lumince:
You used the latest su hide then?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vardogor:
Yup
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lumince:
Thank you for the heads up! Im probably gonna flash Weta 2.4 and su hide and see where it takes me.

This is totally normal. You're fine. Let the screen dim on its own, then flip it over to kill the proximity sensor's light so the second screen goes off too. Please read through the thread, everyone gets this.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
I never did get Suhide to load, still errored trying to install. BUT, I did finally get my timing down to get into recovery, so I had my backup run for the drive home. I have since, installed Not-So-Stock 5.6 which, by itself, has snapchat working just fine. I need to suck it up and install TiBu Pro to kill the update checks, and I have to setup the hotspot (and investigate USB connectivity not working atm) But, so far so good.

Edit: Oh look, I lost root according to checker. Explains why stuff works. Well then... back to the drawing board.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenbrownstone:
What the hell did I do? I'm at a SECURE STARTUP SCREEN after pulling battery to get into flash boot..VZW here first boot didn't boot after 40 minutes..Can't get into recovery...It's asking me for a password 7/10 attempts remaining...This isn't twrp
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mind Absent//:
It's booting completely into your regular ROM. If you had a PIN to lock your phone before you started this process, try using it. If all else fails, try getting into fastboot again.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenbrownstone:
I never do a pin

What should I do in fastboot..Just flashed TWRP and said it work but after triangle corrupt screen it goes to this
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 666syco:
Pull battery and put it back in. hold volume down and power when the lg logo pops up still hold volume down release power for a sec and hit and hold you'll get the factory wipe screen. hit yes both times then it will take you to twrp. And it won't wipe your phone.

I used root switched. Turned off root, logged in, turned root back on. No problems.

Edit: think I quoted the wrong user. My bad. This is for snapchat

What was needed to fix WiFi calling?

Useful to know. This sounds like a small GPL violation by LGE, they're supposed to release their actual source code, not a broken variant.

Does the "debug" DirtySanta kernel break encryption of userdata? Or merely allows userdata to be unencrypted? (the former seems rather Bad(tm))

What is the delta between the "debug" and "stock" kernels that you are referring to? It appears most/all of LG's kernel configurations have a "elsa_<v20-variant-tag>_defconfig" and "elsa_<v20-variant-tag>-perf_defconfig" configurations. Is the non-"-perf" configuration what you're referring to as "debug", while the "-perf" configuration is what you're referring to as "stock"?

Hello guys im new here comming from G5

I got the v20 h990 now been looking around for getting root access . but no one had mention it ?

Any progress for it ? Did gain root or still not for now .
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lumince:
Its funny how that works, but im most likely going the suhide route for now
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Its sadly not a GPL violation as everything they have released is proper. They have not released the debug source since its pre-release kernel.

The debug kernel does not have anything to do with encryption. TWRP does.

There is no way to build a debug kernel.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
My issue was that every time I tried to install Root Switch, it would fail with an error. Same with SuHide and stuff. Some things installed fine, but others would error.

I know I used not-so-stock, but what worked for me, and I think it was said earlier in this thread somewhere - After making a backup and stuff, but BEFORE flashing SuperSU to the phone, boot up and go through setup, install and log in to Snap. Then reboot back to recovery, and install SuperSU to root the phone fully, and snap stayed functional afterwards. If it hadn't worked on the other ROM, I was going to go back to my original backup to this, and try the same. I might still try it, actually, now that I have current backups with it working.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek77:
I thought booting up without SuperSU was supposed to reflash your recovery and re-encrypt /data. If not on NotSoStock, then definitely on the stock ROM. I wouldn't recommend trying it.

Edit: This is what I was referring to. I didn't get it completely right (only applies to the stock kernel), but I'd still be careful when restoring stuff from stock: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70492225&postcount=1260

LS997ZV5 DEC1, 2016 Security Patch, Stuck on Terminal Emulator step

Thanks to the DEV (@me2151) and everyone on here for the work being done.

I'm having trouble though searching through this thread to find any feedback on the Sprint LS997ZV5 versions. Specifically I'm trying to see if I amSOL because I have the LS997 with the December 1, 2016 Android Security Patch?

I'm not certain, but think it may be why I'm stuck on Step 4 "Type into Terminal Emulator: Code: applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta"

After typing that command, it doesn't find the filename, so I'm assuming the RUNMEFIRST.bat file didn't do anything.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
Dunno, and normally I wouldn't think about it myself either. Perhaps it was because I had already completed DS and was working, prior to installing the other ROM last night. But when I installed it, and went in, the phone was showing as not rooted any longer (which to me, was quite strange, since I um.. just installed a new ROM, so wouldn't I have needed root to do it? whatever...). So I had to go in and manually flash it afterwards, and everything went rosey after that (aside from I have no USB connection atm for some reason. Looking into that.)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] fogame:
Wrong thread bud...try dirtysanta thread for root on things other then T-Mobile. Links posted below. Make sure that your phone is rootable via one of the two methods. If not....then no go.

Zv5 works. If you are getting that error its because you are either typing the command wrong or you are typing it on the computer. It needs to be entered into the phone

I can confirm however that I was typing the patch command into the phone via the terminal emulator app and I don't see a typo, (unless maybe "space" is out of place? I've attached the screen shot. Thanks again!

Thanks again for all the quick reply's! Apologies due though, it appears that I had turned on something I should not have in the Developer Options menu. I was able to push the patch and am now in TWRP backing up as we speak. Thanks again!

**EDIT**

All booted up and running smooth now! Thanks to DEV and everyone here!

So I restored using uppercut last night. Planning on trying to root again tonight or tomorrow. So last time I tried. I ran step 3, it rebooted and it suppose to load until the unlock screen appears then you reboot into recovery. But after step 3, it was stuck on the Verizon logo and never fully booted into the unlock screen . I ran the code anyways to reboot into recovery and it did. Then proceeded to flash supersu, did the proper wiping for Verizon. Rebooted again and stuck on the Verizon logo again ! Any tips? On why after step 3, the phone doesn't boot to the unlock screen?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
That's what it did to me. I did the step a few times before I said "huh.." unplugged the phone, and then it booted in right after. Possible I just hadn't let it sit long enough, but have faith, you'll get there!

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
To be honest, I couldn't really pinpoint it. I had rebooted into recovery, redid step three, and after flashing boot2.img again, when it restarted, and had been at the VZW logo for about a minute, I unplugged it. Like I said, it was probably totally coincidental, but after that, I decided that every time I rebooted, I'd disconnect just to be safe.
