Thank you for the reply and for the information you provided..

I actually followed that thread to the T last night and I believe I have it all 100% setup.. The one thing that led me to question the whole Google Driver ordeal was because when I run adb commands, it works just fine and recognizes my phone right away.. But for instance when I type "fastboot devices" in terminal, all it does is creates a new command line underneath the current one, with no visual changes made, as if all I did was hit enter to space down one line, still showing me in the adb directory.. It doesn't list my phone as it did when I ran the "adb devices" command, which is why I'm thinking that fastboot isn't completely set up.. I thought to myself, maybe it's because the computer doesn't have fastboot driver (as mentioned in this thread), so I searched for it and that's how I ended up reading a thread on here about needing a "Google USB driver" in order for fastboot to work (but apparently that's only for Windows, not OSX).. So in an effort to download the potentially needed fastboot driver, I then removed my battery, pressed "Volume Down", and plugged my phone into my computer in hopes of it automatically downloading the driver.. However, all it does is flash a red battery symbol.. So I tried it again, this time with the battery inserted back in the phone, and all it did was show me my phone charging on USB power lol..

So again, I did everything just as that thread mentioned to do, and it all seemed to work just fine, I just don't get any information when I type "fastboot devices".. If I just type "fastboot", it gives me the whole list of commands I can do, but for some reason just doesn't recognize my phone as a fastboot device that I can see.. But I do have a question, when my phone was recognized by adb, it was powered on and on my home screen when I plugged it in to my macbook, but for it to be recognized by fastboot, should the phone still be able to do so on the home screen, or must it be in fastboot mode..?

Thanks again!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
Are you in bootloader mode when giving your fastboot commands? Because fastboot only works in bootloader mode. Adb can get you into your bootloader mode with an adb command:

adb reboot bootloader
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
Sounds like I found out my issue... I wasn't in bootloader mode, but perhaps I'll test it out now at work on my Windows computer just to make sure it works right lol.. We're capped at 1.5gb on our work computers or I'd just do it all on here, but I know the rom alone is about that size so I didn't wanna attempt it and run out of space and be stuck lol..

You rock btw, thank you.. Testing it now..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
:p let me know what happens
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdlagain:
So what exactly is the fix for the SD card corrupted issue? I have all my stuff on the card. Any thing at all I can do?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
Give me a moment to read through the thread and see if I can't get a solid answer for you, I feel like I saw it was addressed somewhere.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdlagain:
I've searched & searched & can't seem to find a conclusive solution.

Anyone know of a skip volume mod for this rom while xposed gets figured out for Nougat? I tried Tasker but had no results.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
Hang tight, I'm seeing something but the various comments that touch on the issue aren't clear cut enough for me to feel confident in a good direction to get you headed down.

EDIT: okay [MENTION=5166167]bdlagain[/MENTION] I found a post by [MENTION=708260]esqueue[/MENTION] who wrote something that seems straight forward enough...worth a shot...so tell me what you think, try it out and keep me posted

This was in response to [MENTION=4137105]mrtruckincowboy[/MENTION] when they explained:

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

I don't understand the function you're trying to achieve with that MOD. Aka I don't what what you mean when you say "skip volume mod" :eek:

I also don't know what ROM you're referring to so IDK how to help there. This thread is a guide for the bootloader unlock and established root. The ROM itself gets untouched so you'd still be on stock.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

[MENTION=818819]jdmsohc22[/MENTION] what's the word? Was that the issue or are you still having problems?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
I actually tried to download the SDK here at work and it's taking for...ev...errrrrrrrrr...! Even for just the standalone SDK, so I'll probably just do it on my macbook in about 30 minutes when I go home for lunch.. I'm just happy that this forum seems to be pretty gradual with input so if **** hits the fan I won't be out in the dark all alone lol..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
Stop that download now. That is unnecessary. Go to this link and download the current minimal adb/ fastboot zip

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
I actually tried this one first, but when I type "adb devices" it doesn't recognize my device..

I went to device manager, found my VS996 in "portable devices", and tried to update the driver and it said the latest is already installed..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
Do you have USB Debugging turned on in your developer options on the phone?

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

[MENTION=5166167]bdlagain[/MENTION] making this new comment with you tagged just in case. IDK if you get notified if I tag you in a post I'm editing that already had you quoted lol...but scroll up and take a look. I'm hoping your solution is that simple.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
Yes it's on..

I think my issue is that the Windows PC automatically connects it with the Windows USB driver, and I need to use the ADB driver.. But when I open ADB Driver Installer, it doesn't see my phone connected to the PC, when clearly it is because I can browse my phones files via windows explorer..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425

Download and run this exe

Also are you keeping ALL files involved located in the same folder ensuring that they are in the folder containing the adb and fastboot commands? Then are you opening your command prompt from that folder and running it as administrator? And finally did you allow the new computer access to USB Debugging/ have your USB option in file transfer mode NOT charging mode while connected?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
Yes and Yes..

And thank you for that LG driver.exe, that did the trick... I think lol..

It now recognizes my phone when I run "adb devices" but right next to my phones description on the command line it says "unauthorized".. Is that ok.??
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
No, and that is because you didn't give the new computer permission to access the phone via adb. Unplug your phone and replug it and wait for the prompt on your phones screen. Then give it permission.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

@jdmsohc22 did that do the trick?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdlagain:
Thank you! I am in the process of copying the card to an external HD thru my laptop & am going to do that. just sucks cuz it's a 256 card about half full & taking forever lol! So I just need to copy it, put it back in my phone, format it, then copy everything back onto it & put it back in my phone again & I should be good, you think?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
I believe so, although I cannot say for certain. Once your files are copied check them out km the computer to make sure they're not corrupt. But I THINK the very fact that you can copy them to your computer is a good sign!:highfive:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Buzzy42:
The card does *NOT* actually get corrupted AFAIK (unless you do something in response to the errors), it was a misunderstanding of what was happening.

The kernel that gets installed as part of this process DOES NOT understand "extended" filesystems, such as exFAT, which are used on higher capacity cards. (I believe 32gb and higher) So if you have a higher capacity card, it will say corrupt because it can't read the card.

The newer kernels that have been developed (such as the Konverged kernel, and the NotSoStock roms) DO work with exFAT and the card will be fine.

The best way around it is find an older card (I used an 8GB SD card that was FAT32) or format a larger card to FAT32 (Which can be tricky in Windows-- you might have to google for one of the 3rd party formatters) and it should work fine to get you through the flash and root process. Then flash a newer kernel or ROM (the NotSoStock rom has worked amazingly well for me) to fix the problem for good. After I rooted my phone I popped in my normal 64gb card just to see and did get the corrupt error, but the card was absolutely fine. Not sure if it would have survived if I had used it during the rooting process.

If you get the 'corrupt card' error DO NOT PANIC, it will be fine and all your data once you get a newer kernel on the phone-- just DO NOT format the card to fix it as it will wipe data out.

You know what i did the copy & sonow i have a full backup as of today at any rate but i ended up just switching my rom to notsostock 5.6. Card is fine & everything is there. Thank you & all you devs for this! You have a wonderful day! ???

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Thank you! That is exactly what i did. Using notsostock 5.6 & feeling oh so happy! Get rid of some junk now. Get Wifi hotspot up & i believe i read somewhere that xposed isn't working yet with nougat?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Buzzy42:
Yeah, unfortunately no Xposed yet, although they're working on it but with no ETA.

Make sure to block the 2 'Software Update' applications running in the background to not ever get nagged again!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] qstarin:
Here was my experience. After the root install the phone would not read the sd card at all. Putting the card in a reader on a Windows machine was able to read the card fine, but it did warn there was an issue with the card. Letting Windows attempt to fix the card did nothing. It was still readable but the warning still appeared in Windows and the phone still said it was corrupt and would not read it at all. I did not try anything further as I no longer needed the data on the card. Reformatted the card in windows and it then read fine on the phone. (128GB card btw).

Ok I'm home now, where I have everything setup on my macbook pro.. So I'm beginning to do this..

But for some weird reason, I can't boot into fastboot..?? I just got my phone a few weeks ago so is there a chance it's on some new updated version that can't be rooted perhaps..??
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Buzzy42:
You need to use Titanium Backup to freeze the apps-- don't just block the notifications, if Verizon gets pushy like AT&T and makes it a mandatory update, it might try to install someday and cause a bit of a mess until you figure out what's going on. (it'd reboot into TWRP for no obvious reason if you weren't watching what it was doing)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
When i run that command, all my phone does is reboot, and comes back on as normal..

EDIT: Same thing happens when I run : adb reboot fastboot, just reboots the phone as normal...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emilicious:
Give me a detailed description on everything you've done with your phone since being home thus far. You can always get into bootloader manually....but have you started the process of unlocking your bootloader yet? I don't believe that it becomes available until you start going through the steps of the root.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
All I've done thus far is setup my adb folder on my desktop.. I've just been testing adb and fastboot making sure that they are connecting now, instead of worrying about that later and wind up screwing something up..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] SketchyStunts:
You may still have to update the drivers at step 3. Don't worry though, it's pretty fool proof. My computer crashed at step 3. I had to unplug my phone & drive to a business I used to work for. Download & setup ADB & fastboot on that computer & continue..... Still worked

[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] is there any reason for me not to take system updates? Would that prevent me from rooting in the future? I'm still on the original firmware.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] abine45:
What in the world is that supposed to mean?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Once rooted twrp will block instilation of OTA updates. Some update can prevent methods like this from being used.

No. You need a debug bootloader. Something i see you guys DO NOT have. No it cannot be compiled. NO i will not help with the v10.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Correct you cannot willingly encrypt the phone and preserve root/proper functionality. As for other draw backs... Just the static on boot is all that comes to mind. Ive been running a stock kernel for about 5 days. No issues really
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwertz:
I saw this too but it will not change anything unless you have a file named boott.img As I am sure you noticed, they are repeats of the same commands

Well darn, gonna have to find a way somehow. nobody will work with the V10. Thanks anyways.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:

Ok first question lol..

When I did the very first step, ./RUNMEFIRST.sh in a terminal window, all it did was move the cursor down to the beginning of the next line with no text in front of it.. Is this normal..??
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
When you typed in apply patch what did it say in the same window? Where did you type it.

Possibly. Just keep going and see.

I type the applypatch on my phone using terminal emulator
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
and currently what does the phone say
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uamore6:
I just had to redo it again.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
and it just sits there like that?

Yes for 2 days i have repeating steps and get to this spot and can't move on i even let it sit overnight and drained my battery.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
just run step 2
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uamore6:
when I do that it reboots the phone and I have to enter my security code and phone is back to normal...is that what is suppose to happen??
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Hmmm.... Step 2 is supposed to take you to fastboot. If that doesnt work then Att may be patched now. You might not be able to root.

It would also explain why you arnt seeing anything in the run me window to tell you to run step 2.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uamore6:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdmsohc22:
I was thinking I maybe got the new security update as well, but for verizon, and that's why it's not letting me in fastboot via terminal..

Certainly a possibility. If you are on 13A on VZW it will not work.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahepler90:
Can you revert to the 12A(?) Via the kdz files and attempt root?

Someone in the verizon kdz thread was saying that the exploit should work on 13A. Don't know if he tried it or not though.
