I forgot to put the twrp image during the step3.bat and it reboot without flashing it.

It got stuck on the LG Life's good now. I booted up into fastboot manually and ran step3 again and twrp was flashed this time, but its still stays stuck on lg lifes good

please help???

I think I am good, I got into recovery and proceeding with next steps.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Read directions please.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0idst4r:
I actually did the same thing at first. Simply pull the battery, plug it into your computer while holding volume down and run step 3 again after putting the TWRP image in the same folder. Also if it still hangs at the boot logo try flashing boot2.img

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0idst4r:
Thanks for the quick response :P, also is safetynet always failing a known side effect?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Saftey net failing is because the device is rooted or is running custom rom.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] poixninja:
Safteynet can be bypassed with a kernel thats patched for it
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0idst4r:
Know any for the V20?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIronMaiden:
You can search for them
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0idst4r:
I use werewolf kernel and it says "Safetynet workaround for bootloader" but Safetynet is still being triggered even on unrooted stock
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daw41:
Magisk root will fix safety net
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0idst4r:
I'll give it a shot
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIronMaiden:
NATF ROM is probably the easiest option to enable magisk if you can't get just by flashing it on another ROM.

how long does it take for logcat to do its thing...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSR_1106:
I tried this root method( fortunately with my spare v20) and it was straightforward and worked flawlessly. Thanks to all involved in its development. After going through setup and install ing Busybox and a few other things I wanted Viper and Dolby Atmos. Well I flashed the version I had from my Note7 and s7 edge thinking they were systemless and would work. Of course they didnt.

Here is where I got into a little problem. I found a 7.0 compatible version and thought I could just do a full wipe and start fresh. Holy **** was I wrong. The phone continually would boot into TWRP and not system which after several hours I decided to wipe internal and just be done with it. I have been flashing and modding since my s2 days and never seen anything like this where you literally can't do anything even with all the files . Again great job with this but hard lesson and I'm dusting of the 935p until the Note 8 release, this is insane. Might as well be iOS... Absolutely not worth doing anything with v20 and I have 3 well 2 now..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesus is God Almighty:
I'm looking at https://www.search4roots.com/easily-root-lg-v20-h990n-android-nougat/ and wonder why it should not work.

Kingoapp the times I tried it worked with my Note 2 so why not my H990n? But there was a program that kept complaining about me having Kingoapp and it wanted SuperUS... I had no issues with Kingoapp but in the end I got tired of the message and replaced the Kingoapp with the SuperUS. It may have just been the Root Checker that complained but I can't remember. Everything was fine with the Kingoapp and no issues - besides the many issues I had with the N7105 in itself.

Actually to my knowledge Kingoapp claimed that it could be rooted without flipping the Knox in the Samsung, but to late for that because I first tried a way that did flip it.

Anyway, the note 2 was a way into the world of andriod and its ways and I never bricked it - but I had to many issues with this special N7105 note 2... So Now iv gotten this LG-H990H and for now it has been a pleasing trip.

But I would like to get Root which should just be a default if you ask me - or a switch to turn on from the Developers.

Anyone tried any of these to root it?

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

I'm looking into options for Rooting my LG-H990N but I don't have any extras and just the phone itself ripped my bank account so... So, I'm on Oatmeal at the moment as long as it lasts.

But looks like I should really think and study the things before actually trying to root it. I never bricked my Note 2 N7105 and I was always able to get it back up running. Sadly I never found a rom that I did not have some kind of issue with.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

I just read some of the root in this channel - and my phone is not on the list. But I must say, considering the things... I may not want to root the device and just use as is for the moment. I don't want a phone that I'm in constant fight with like my N7105 that got all weird on me when it was rooted. I sadly could not find a Rom that I did not have some kind of stupid issue with.

Maybe it's just for the better not to try to root my H990N but at some point I may be so tired of all the advertising on the mobile and do it anyway.

May Jesus bless you all - Shalom, Children of Adam and Noah.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaz187:
This is not the root method you want if you are not looking to do research and development! Also you must have some knowledge of adb and be willing to try to fix issues when they come up.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesus is God Almighty:
My Mobile version don't fit this Topic anyway - so I'm not even going to give it a go ;)

I have to look up ADB - I'm looking into the options that I have at the moment doing research on it before doing anything.

It would be nice with TWRP, but it seems like you can root the phone without installing it? But would be nice to have TWRP at hand like my old device has.

I did a lot of patching and fixing on my old phone and used WAY to much time on that - I never got to fix every kind og issue it had but at least I got much of it done by the help of this forum and research. My first Andriod Phone taught me a lot in the end, having been behind all these new smart gadgets - it was a hard learning curve and still have a lot to learn.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
The 990 is NOT rootable at the moment. All it does is mess up the phone. There is already a dev working on the h990ds and that root method should with minor tweaking work. Of course I cannot stop you from trying my method if you want to turn your phone into a glorified paperweight...

boot loop

I have the U S Cell version of US 996, I pm'd the Dev to make sure it would work.I ran everything and all went well, but upon rebooting i'm in a bootloop. I have the LG lifes good and the Logo on the left of that and the light does the half circle from bottom to top.

Anyone else had this issue? if so what's the fix?

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

Why is it so hard for the companies to just let the users do with the hardware as they want! Money is the root of all evil.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Buzzy42:
This is a more complicated root process than most other phones, yes. That said, a LOT of us have done it and it works fine. At this point I think if there was a real issue with the process it would've been obvious now-- the biggest issue is it's complicated and requires meticulous attention to detail, and the patience to read more if you do happen to run into an issue. Many, many of the posts on this thread are unfortunately re-treads of issues that a bit more reading would've covered (stuff like the static screen after boot, etc). Making sure your adb and fastboot are properly installed (and/or you know how to re-install if you need to) helps too. As iffy as the process looks from this thread, it seems pretty hard to totally screw it up and completely brick your phone as long as you're using one of the supported phone and not one of the international/dual SIM varients-- it seems like the phone usually is recoverable in almost all situations.

That said, it's not for the faint of heart, and don't let me talk you into doing something you're not 100% (well, at least 99% ;) ) confident about trying.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] philiptibbs:
Follow dirty santa in full. Go into TWRP and flash the stock rom they supplied. It takes a long as time after you flash it. Like 30 minutes. When you see static screen put your finger over front camera and hit power button on back of phone. Then hit power again and you should be on setup. Just tap power. Might take 2or 3 times.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
a lot of the problems are the same issues rehashed from not fully reading the first few pages. It may seem like a scary process from all the pages, but it is fairly simple if you follow everything to a T and read through the guide entirely.

I'm on Sprint. Rooted. And LOVING my V20. Came over to the LG side from the Note series and I have no plans to go back. Haven't had many issues with this phone after flashing- and it's got a ton of support here. I'm on the DevDigitel "Stockish" ROM for the 997.

On the Verizon model....VS995? Correct?

Have there been OTAs to make this of no effect....

If I bought one from Verizon today...

is it likely to have an update that breaks this?

Want the v 20 and root etc but don't want to buy one now if it has been patched already and be stuck with unrootable v20

Thank you!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:

I just got my V20 on Verizon when they announced the unlimited plans and I used DirtySanta on the latest OTA just fine.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] doihaveto:
Thanks...

VS995 done and running...rooted/w twrp

Didn't bother to check the sofware version it was on...before starting

But there was no issue not already known and explained in the directions...

Secondly...

Again...searched but only found one thread on xposed and it was from November I believe and very short thread at that.

Is there anyone running xposed on a VS995?

Dont need to have my cake and eat it too...

I can wait for it...but if it is out there and I can't find it is a little different

I do so see a Rom and kernel that offers viper4android...

But the Rom does seem to have some issues and dev doesn't have vs995 I don't think.

Xposed and viper4android...any info on these for VS995?

Thanks again all!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] poixninja:
It can be added once you have root I believe, just flash the zip for it. If im mistaken you can use weta rom, which does have vs995 support and is my daily driver

I have a Sprint model and followed the guide entirely and completed the process. But finally realized I didn't flash the stock rom as mentioned since it's already stock and rooting the first time. Now the phone is displaying the triangle warning message and then goes to LG Logo Screen and sits there. Is this because the system was wiped as part of the process and I didn't install the stock after the system wipe?

adb devices lists nothing.

How can I go back to TWRP now and install the stock or a custom ROM? Please help.

Edit : I was able to get back to TWRP with Volume Down + Power combination and now installing WETA Rom

Just Completed everything on my VS995. Super Su installed following the instructions to a tee. Question though. How long should the device stay laggy afterwards? I did follow the instructions and flash Super Su twice
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Buzzy42:
VS995 isn't laggy at all if everything is done successfully, beyond the normal Android settling in time that can be 15-20 minutes or so...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
Did you flash the konverged kernel? I had a lot of ui lag until I switched to konverged.

Is there a way to stop the phone from vibrating after a reboot from charging?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BackCheck:
No. It will vibrate on reboot if the usb is plugged in. Unplugging it stops it most of the time unless the battery was pulled, then it will vibrate anyway.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
So the best practice is to power the device when still plugged in to stop the constant vibration?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
I found that as soon as I did an action that causes the phone to vibrate, i.e. touching the fingerprint scanner, the vibrations will stop.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BackCheck:
No, opposite. While it is not plugged in. I think you can also hold down both volume keys + power to stop it while it's still booting.

Sooo I was on step 2 going on 3...Got up to grab my cigs & my phone dropped, battery ejected, rebooted to a screen of static! ahhh...can't even start over..What can I do
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daw41:
Pull the battery so the phone is off t hen hold the volume down while plugging in the usb connected to the computer and it should enter fastboot mode where you can run step 3
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] psantos1091:
Thanks..I was able to figure that part out and got all the way to the end of the setup. Only problem was my SD cards weren't being read properly so I've spent the majority of my time after that post trying to install the sprint ROM. (reformatting them etc) I finally installed it from the internal storage but I didn't get the abnormally long boot after flashing it. Instead it was the red triangle about 2 or 3 times and then static. 30 seconds later I hear the setup voice so I know its on buuuut.. the proximity sensor hack isnt working to get the static to go away.. It's like it's permanently stuck on a static screen.

I tried rebooting into recovery but.....will try again in the morning

But yea, any thoughts?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daw41:
Give it like 20 minutes in the screen should put itself to sleep then cover the proximity sensor
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] psantos1091:
It took a lot longer than 20 minutes for me..But by time I woke up, it was working.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daw41:
The power button won't shut off the screen while the "android is starting" screen is up which can take up to 15 min so the less stressful/monotonous way is to just to be patient and wait on the screen to shut itself off on the first boot. However your way works well for every boot after the first boot.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_rooter:
Ok good news. I got this to work had to do the whole process three,or four times but something interesting happened. I didn't have a static screen. It works all fine, but with the constant vibration if i do a power off and boot back on. So as of right now is there a way to fix that

NEVER EVER quote the OP
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raxsymelich:
Yeah, but how many of the seemingly endless other steps (not included in the OP) did you have to do to get there? What I mean is, all the people in this thread who followed the OP and then ran into issues, it seems many of them got solved but they had to do extra things, sometimes they had to do different extra things from one another (i.e., what worked for one didn't work for another). Do I have to flash the konverged kernel? Will I have to find the fix for the incessant vibrating while charging? What about the lock screen problem? What about the 2nd screen problem?

Even though many if not all of these problems and others have been solved, it's just a lot to have to do, which isn't easy when you're as busy as I am, and as dependent on your phone as I am.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] biggboii202:
