[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
Something is wrong with your system.img :\ and it is about a gig too small. good news is, [MENTION=7278582]nikktrikk[/MENTION] gave me an h910 system.img and boot.img. Uploading ROM now if you are down to test (bc I think you are H910 also?)

[MENTION=7278582]nikktrikk[/MENTION] link will be here when you are ready to test also.

Remember guys, I do not have your devices, so this might fail.

Be sure to make a system, boot, and data backup in TWRP just in case.

As for the ROM, it is identical to my MOD ROM that I run on my H918. I've also compiled a custom kernel for you. The kernel should enable color control, give you the bluactive governor, enable the Zen Decicion hotplug driver, switch IO scheduler to NOOP, and a few tweaks here and there.

Build.prop tweaked out.

Phone should be super smooth (if it boots :p )

setenforce = 0

romo does not encrypt

supersu included

viper included

deODEXd

debloated (as much as I could, I don't have AT&T so I don't know which AT&T apps I could remove, so I took out the obvious ones)

Color control app is included in the ROM.

Should be able to simply flash the ROM over your existing ROM, no need to wipe.

ETA is 30 minutes on upload if you want to test.

Start backing up system, boot, and data in TWRP now to save time. (data not really necessary, but still a good idea)

If it boots, I'll make a thread for this. First boot will take a long time, then you should see the Android progress bar at some point. Once it boots, it will take about 5 minutes for the kernel to settle, throughout this time, the phone will be laggy. That is a one-time thing

Our stock boot.imgs will not work for you because we do not use them, we are using the konverged kernel. My system img.(stock sprint img) came out to 5.5 gb.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
lol, sorry you make no sense.

I got everything I need. either way, I don't need the boot.img for the kernel, just the ramdisk, I made the kernel.

And both IMG files I got are fine.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nikktrikk:
AWESOME! I will test it out when you have it finished :D This is so exciting! Thank you for all of your hard work!!:good:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Ah well sorry I wasn't sure if it would work or not. I used Superr Kitchen to make it into a system.img from a TWRP backup. Glad you managed to get the files though!

I'd be happy to test out whenever you have something for me to test.

Twisted
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
Lol. Ill re-explain. Yes you can use our Ramdisk, Your custom kernel will need special defconfig flags or it will be a static screen(as the kernel we are currently using does). I didn't fully explain those. My bad.

Downloading now. I'll let you know how it goes!

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

I got an updater process ended with ERROR: 7

"This package is for "h910" devices; this is a "us996""

My device version showed that it was still an h910 on factory reset. I tried installing your ROM on my V20 after I had used TWRP to restore my backup. I just did another factory reset, and it gave me the same error. The us996 is the unlocked variant directly from LG. What can I do about this?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
Open the ZIP in your PC, and go to META-INF/com/google/android and delete only the file called updater-script.

Put this one in there to replace it
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nikktrikk:
It worked! That fixed it and it flashed with no problems. It is booting now, I will update you after it goes through the entire process to let you know if everything is good ;):good:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Currently still downloading to test on my phone.

nikktrikk, can you see if your FM Radio, Wifi calling, and some other features work properly? Also did the boot up still contain the static screen - I'm assuming it did just because of it using the custom kernel still. Just curious
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
custom kernel is made for the h910. defconfig per device
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nikktrikk:
It works FLAWLESSLY!!! Great job!! The Build number says "NRD90M [MOD]v5.1. It asked for SuperSU permission for the color control, and it shows that I can now add other users in the pull down menu and in the settings! This is exciting! I can't wait to explore your ROM more and see how it is. Thank you so much for your hard work. Also, the static screen still occurs on boot, but is it fixed by turning off the main and second screens or by turning off the main screen and covering the proximity sensor. Great work!:D:D
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
Enjoy!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nikktrikk:
The FM radio turns on with headphones, but it just seems to stay on the please wait loading screen. I tried Wi-Fi calling and it seems like it works without any issues. The static is still there, but I just waited for the entire boot process and did the usual proximity sensor cover and it fixed the issue.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
Hmmm. I may have botched the FM module... Sorry.

When you say you are able to add new users now, do you mean that AT&T v20 didn't have multi-user support? I can list that as a feature in my thread if so.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Might just see if you can at least use NextRadio or something just to see if it does work. I don't remember ever seeing any multi-user settings when going through my phone but I cannot remember. Also for some reason, even after replacing the updater-script it still continues to say my phone is a us996 and fails.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
Updater script is the only thing that detects that. Are you sure the modification is going through fully? If you are using your phone, it may not work even if it looks like it did.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
Any phone that is rooted using dirtysanta will be considered a us996. Its because of the bootloader.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nikktrikk:
There was definitely no multi-user support on the stock AT&T variant. When you pull down the menu from the top, the green icon to the right of the settings gear that you see was not there before. Also, under settings>General>Personal, the Users menu was not there before. Definitely a new feature!

[MENTION=1325580]Tilde88[/MENTION] (and anyone else who can answer):

I'm thinking of rooting my V20, but my only concern is that I've read in other threads for the V20 that root breaks Android Pay and several other functions. Would I still be able to use all features of this phone and still be able to run banking apps, etc? Can you hide root for certain apps somehow?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
IIRC Android Pay checks for an unlocked bootloader, which is almost impossible to hide. There was a workaround that worked for the OP3, but that's most likely been patched and I haven't heard anything new.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
The root method for v20 is not what breaks Android Pay. No device can use Android Pay so long as it is rooted. Google has a service called SafetyNet which is in certain apps. For example, Pokemon Go, and Android Pay. What SafetyNet does, is, checks if anything is modified in /system. If it is, that app will not work. Again, has nothing to do with the phone, the root method, or the ROMs.

Some people use systemless root, but I don't care for it. You can try if you like, but I do not support it.

No phone or device can use Android Pay with regular root.

And no, there is no way to remove/disable SafetyNet.

Also, most apps out there, like banking apps, do not use SafetyNet. Banking apps will work fine. You will have to do a search to see what things use SafetyNet, but the list is not very large.

There are also root hiders, but again, I do not care for those things, nor do I support them.

Has nothing to do with bootloader, it [SafetyNet] checks /system
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
Really? I thought it checked the bootloader too
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
Actually, you are right. As of October of this year, SafetyNet checks bootloader. Hahaha, oh well. Doesn't affect me, and I will just boycott the apps that use SafetyNet any way. Even if there are ways to bypass them.

I am fully for complete open-source, and no DRM, or anti-tamper.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
So little consumer trust from these companies, tsk :p

Too many idiots who can't read warnings I guess...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
Nah, I mean I get it. They have code compliance they have to put up with for NFC payment. Especially since it was hacked the first day it [Android Pay] was released (free subway rides if you have root, and an NFC device -can't do it anymore).

But things like SafetyNet, can go to hell.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
I know someone who got an iPhone 6S for some reason, hates it, and wants to get an OP3, but SafetyNet is making him prefer iOS, just because Apple Pay works jailbroken.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
That is ridiculous.

I guess it's rough having to pull out your debit card.

Besides, Android Pay or Apple Pay don't support BTC do they?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zacharee1:
BTC?

I think it's more of a principal thing really, and paying with PayPal is a lot more convenient with a phone than ordering a card from them.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
Interestingly enough, the Pixel actually has a 'suhide' which is able to make SafetyNet pass even with a rooted phone - suhide.

Honestly I don't care about Android Pay, never had cared as it never has been any more of a convenience than using my regular card. And I stopped playing PoGo when they made it seem like they stopped caring about their userbase (which was pretty early on).

[MENTION=7278582]nikktrikk[/MENTION]

Can you confirm that wifi calling is working for you. It seems to be messed up for me at present
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] spexwood:
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't think the root method broke those features, but root itself (no matter what method you use to obtain it). Is there any way to bypass the security check or whatever it is? I heard of an app called Magisk, but not sure if it would work on our phone. I'd try it myself, but I kind of don't want to root unless I can still get full functionality out of the phone.

I haven't rooted since my Optimus G Pro, and the only thing I really want is better battery life. My G Pro ran a modified stock rpm that gave me amazing battery life. Other than battery, I've learned to live without root, unfortunately, thanks to my ATT Note 4 which was unrootable.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nikktrikk:
I just tried it, it seems to work. I can turn wifi calling on, but I am not sure how to verify if the call is going through wifi as opposed to the regular network. But it turned on without any problems and the call sounds great.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] streetpounder:
Yeah mine does that but it's not actually working. I believe a plus appears next to wifi or another icon while it is in use. I tried a few places where it use to work, and it gives an error
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nikktrikk:
I can't get the plus to appear when I tried making a call right now, but I remember what you are talking about. I would see it sometimes. It isn't appearing when I make a call, but I don't get an error.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twistedvip:
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the entitlement status for VOWifi. If you looking at the android system settings database (com.android.settings.system), there's a key "def_vowifi_entitlement_status". My value is currently set to 99. I'm curious if it would work similar to the Hotspot mod where you can change the value to 0 and it will skip the entitlement and allow us to use it. I'll test it out and see.

EDIT: Well now that I think about it, it probably isn't that - but since I'm curious if it's possible to fix it somehow in the settings.db I figured I might as well look into it a little more.

Ive searched and cant find an answer...what is the best setting for action shots(ie my 4 yo son)..coming from note 7 where i can just snap and go all day, this phone does not like to move when taking a picture..

Has anyone else come across this issue? It may go back if it continues...love everything else about it except that one flaw and to me, its pretty big
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
A new phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] koppee1:
the best i found is go to manual, set the shutter speed to 1/125 or higher, and just focus. It should automatically set the other settings. But yeah, the v20 sucks for action shots. If only you can save the shutter speed whenever you open the manual camera, it wouldn't be so bad. But the next time you open it, it'll be locked to your previous settings, including the iso settings.

I have a bluetooth keyboard that I use with the LG V20 and it works great when doing a lot of text entry. I need to add a mouse and looking for some pointers on how to proceed.

1. Will a USB type-C mouse plugged directly into the V20 work?

2. Tried a bluetooth mouse, I used on my PC, for the V20 but it was very sluggish? I would prefer to use bluetooth if it will work with quick response so that I can use the usb port on the V20 for charging.

3. Any other thoughts.

Thanks
[LG V20 Accessories] saboture:
My best advice would be to get a usb hub for your phone, and use a wired mouse if you're really doing that much work on your phone haha
[LG V20 Accessories] syndre:
I still have about 20 or so of these micro USB OTG adapters that I found a couple of years ago for for like $2 for a pack of 5, so I looked for another adapter to go from micro USB to USB type C. I ended up getting a bunch of these and it actually works great.

I use my phone all day long, and got used to living with spare batteries and wall chargers for them. Honestly though, with this V20's battery life together with how fast quick charge is, I think those days might be gone for good. My advice would be to not make being able to charge it while using it a priority. You could use it for half the day, then in the time it takes to make a sandwich and eat it you could plug it in and go from 15% to damn near full battery again! It amazes me every time

need help with USB mouse

I am trying to connect a USB mouse with my LG V20.

I have to use office system thru VMware (only occasionally) and if i have a mouse that would really help.

I tried 2 different OTG USB to USB C adaptors, but the mouse does not seem to work or load. These OTG load external SD card or flash drive without problems.

I have tried a wired mouse as well as Microsoft wireless mouse.

Is there any setting or an app that is needed?

I can buy a Bluetooth mouse if you think that will work with this phone. but if i dont have to buy an extra mouse that would be great.

thank you :)

So I just tried to export a Tasker project as an app. In order to do so, I have to select an icon. Problem is, when I try to do that, Tasker hangs. It works fine on my old phone (LG G4) so it's something with the Honor, but not sure if it's the phone itself or some settings somewhere. Anyone else having this problem?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Gerd3000:
Have you found a solution?

Did you notice that tasker is killed once in a while although it is marked as protected app in the battery manager.

How can that be avoided?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Svyn:
Wife goes to sleep, wakes up in morning phone is showing update status bar on phone and it is very warm. Fast forward an hour and we go to work, she picks up phone and it is in a boot loop with the Galaxy initial boot screen then reboots forever. Stock, never rooted, no problems until now. Take phone to ATT they claim this happens, and say just restore to factory. Wife says fine and brings device home as they said it will be 15 to 30 minutes to do it in the store. They said if that doesn't work take to best buy 40 mins from house (meh). I factory reset / wipe data, then wipe cache. Still boot loops. Read up a bit on here and most point to using Odin 3.09 downloaded two firmwares from different sites in case one was bad(G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4_G870AUCU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5). Put phone into download mode, open odin get ID com blue, load AP file previously mentioned (tried both incase one had an issue). Make sure Auto reboot and F. reset time are checked then hit start.

I'm sure it is something stupid I'm missing... Can you downgrade from 6.0.1 to 4.4.2? I read people were saying you couldn't but some people said you can. I just want a functional phone at this point so I can have my phone back as she stole mine until this is fixed. Suggestions?

So I guess a second fold question is there a way to block OTA updates if I can get this fixed? Because screw AT&T, and their inability to stand up behind the software updates they send out saying it's your problem phone isn't in warranty.

TL;DR Two days before xmas and ATT bends us over, corrupts firmware, I tried Odin with 4.4.2 and get failures, begging for insight on how to fix.

Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lordmorphous:
Look in the Merry Early Christmas thread. Someone posted a link to an 870 tarball package you can downgrade to using Odin. Worked for me and I was on the latest MM release with my active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Svyn:
Thanks, and sorry for late reply as it took a while to read the tons of pages on that thread. So on page 28, (Merry [early] Christmas Thread) I followed the active reset back to 5.1.1. Link here: (Active G870A tarball). So followed the directions and loaded BL / AP / CP / CSC in Odin3 v 3.11. Recieved the "pass" in 3:35 info below. Then reset the factory data and a cache reset. It started by loaded the typical Samsung splash, then went over to AT&T splash (white background) and would then power down. Would not boot the phone. Now the phone is really stuck in a boot loop and wont stop. I can't even get into recovery mode now so that made it worse... If I attempt to get into recovery mode it shows recovery mode in blue upper left corner, but just continually reboots. So I am guessing this is what is considered hard bricked instead of soft bricked... Anyone else have any suggestions?

Edit: left the phone for 10 minutes with no battery, added battery and it lets me go into boot loader again. Direct from phone:

Phone Info:

Android system recovery <3e>

LRX21T.G870AUCU2BOF3

Going to try to flash one more time and see if it changes anything.

Final Edit: No change, back to continual boot loop even on 5.1.1 (see above) Anyone else have any suggestions on how to get out of this boot loop? Going to leave the battery out and attempt to get back into bootloader (power / home / vol up).

Well...I'm sorry but I don't think I'm going to be any more help here. Seems to me from that log that it successfully flashed, which tells me that you may have a hardware problem going on. If I'm reading right, since the flash you did boot into recovery and perform a factory reset? That would have been my only other thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Svyn:
Thanks for the help, yes I did as soon as the first boot as per instructions. I even re-flashed, then upon first attempt to boot went to recovery menu and re-cleared cache and restore to factory to verify I didn't miss. Only thing I can think of is that upon the update it ran out of battery and corrupted a file somewhere good... I am at a miss because it was working perfect before (for the last 2 years +). Even did a factory restore mid this year to clear data and speed it up. If anyone else has any suggestions I'm all ears. Next to call ATT direct and see if they can do anything. BB said call ATT.
