i got the us cellular us996 and i've searched and searched, is there a kdz file anywhere out there with the security date being before december 2016 so i can root it? is it possible to flash a rootable version of the unlocked us version or any other version to this one? i've since upgraded to s8+ and no longer plan on using this phone for anything other than a media device (camera, movies, music). my main goal is getting v4a up there and take advantage of the quad dac.

I am on the latest TWN 990dd10i and I have noticed that in the last two updates poweramp music can no longer be played from the second screen. the app it self works with no issues but the music tab cannot seem to read Poweramp playing anymore and when I double click on it it only gives me Google play music or the default app, no poweramp despite showing it before in some previous version .

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Redline:
I can't speak for the first part of your question, having stood by Rocket Player for years. But VoLTE only works on some firmware regions of our phone. E.g. TWN firmware which I use myself and I'm in Australia does not support VoLTE, but the Australia region firmware does support VoLTE. I don't personally use it however so I'd rather be on a newer firmware without it than an older one with it.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] IvanN8458:
Hi, there. I just bought a V20 T-Mo for a really good price but the phone issue is that every time I turn it on, it goes straight to the "Firmware Update" screen without pressing any volume keys. It shows in LGUP and all with no problem, the firmware version is LGH918AT-01-V10R-310-260-NOV-17-2017-ARB01+0 as it shows when I try flash other KDZs such as 10R_00 or 10Q. The only way to make it boot normally is to flash the V10i KDZ, it starts to flash and immediately it says "Error Tot Anti rollback version is smaller than device" (Image below), phone reboots and starts normally, but if I turn it off and on again it goes to the "Firmware update" screen again.

Does anybody know how I can fix this and help me here? I've been doing some research but can't get it sorted out. Thanks in advance.

About to enter this world

Hello. I don't actually own a V20 yet but I'm planning on it as my next budget phone, setting my sights lower and less expensive than a Razer or Pixel 2XL. The V20 won me over with removeable battery and SD, and adequate features relative to what I owned (MANUAL FOCUSSSS) ...a now-blown Note 3 that seems to have become ROM-incontinent :\

I was eyeing the 990DS because, now that the bootloader has been broken into, two SIM are better than one aye? I thought it may be nifty. Also with the Note 3/ATT bootloader and ROM lockdown fiasco I am deathly, fatally allergic to carrier-branded phones, and may spontaneously break out in profanity in the presence of samshi--sung.

I recognize though that this is a more complex issue than it seems on the surface. I really, really do not want to end up stranded with a decrepit OS that I cannot clean up or refresh (ala 5.0 on the Note3 slowly grinding to death), or stuck with a failed nonremoveable battery. V20 seems ideal for these features.

What are the considerations for me, whom some may consider a "power user" but really, I just want full ability to roam where I wish, software-wise, for reliability and sustainability!

Thank you in advance.

Flashing H910 to US996

Hi all,

I have an AT&T branded phone in Australia. I'd like to flash it to the unlocked firmware for 2 main reasons: 1. mobile hotspot doesn't work without an AT&T sim on an AT&T network, and 2. get rid of bloatware in the process.

What is the best and safest method of doing this? I have read tonnes of threads on here but still can't find a guide that describes what I want to do.

I also found this site here: lg-firmwares.com/lg-us996-firmwares/

Are they safe to use? Say if I flashed to the US99610n firmware as its the latest one there? Current version is H91010I & build is NRD90M.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just need to be pointed in the right direction as being new to rooting its quite daunting all the different information out there.

Thanks!

EDIT: After more reading from what I understand you can use LGUP to to flash a KDZ of a factory image without rooting? Is this an option? And if so how safe is it?

1. I would like to get an image of the rom as it is installed on my new H990ds.

2. Is getting an image possible without root?

3. I understand the currently used root process for this variant H990ds involves losing ability to get security updates and has adverse effects like losing LG apps and camera functionality or other not understood effects on the OS. I need LG UI to use the options for the audio hardware which is why I got the phone. Is it your experience that this root process has adverse effects (and what adverse effects or changes to expierence did you find)?

2. I followed the dirtysanta instructions to fastboot, unlock flash twrp etc

3. I zip flashed my rom of choice using twrp

4. I zip flashed superuser

was good to go! (actually, I tried a few rom and kernel variations, had several bootloops w/ static fuzz and then finally landed on my favorite, stable/fast WETA rom..... I've also read that MEGArom is really stable and fast if you are not on Verizon and can boot that. (I have the vs995, so WETA was my alternative for primarily stock, debloated, fast & stable.) ....I hope this helps somebody! (I also had to unbrick once or twice from not quite following the instructions on the video I used too -make sure the lg / Verizon drivers are properly installed before using fastboot :)

Gather all the updated KDZ files for your device from lg-firmwares.com and once you're rooted, use KDZ Writer in its thread to update. You have to root first, then update.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

VoLTE is region firmware dependent. For example the Australian firmware has it, but not the Indonesian. You can (for the most part) flash interchangeable kdz files to get the functionality you like. I'm in Australia, but the Australian firmware comes with more bloat and I don't use VoLTE anyway so I'm not using that one.

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

1/2. No. For this you have to use TWRP to backup a system image. Or with stock you could use LG Backup tool in Settings, but this isn't a full image.

3. You actually don't lose out on security updates. Once you downgrade to an old enough firmware, you root and can then use KDZ Writer in its thread to flash updated KDZ files and keep root. This is how we're able to use the latest security patches with root. You don't lose any LG apps (unless you disable them as I've done) or camera functionality (just make sure you flash a kernel like DOTS that has the camera fix). Apart from that there's no other negatives. By rooting and running it through my suite of de-bloating, tweaking, etc. I was able to gain an extra couple of hours of screen on time.

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

This is because of how Android handles wake from sleep via fingerprint. The only way to speed it up is to root and flash a kernel that has faster fingerprint unlock support. If that's all you want it to do, it's not worth it.

I'm using a 256 with no problems. 256/512 both use the same format (SDXC) so you could TRY it, but there's no guarantee. I'd probably try a bit more research before investing because they're not exactly cheap.

Depends on which bands of 3G/4G your carrier supports. For example I don't live in a big city, I only get 3G at home. If I drive an hour to a nearby city, my 4G works on their bands. I could fix this by flashing the modem part of another firmware, but honestly can't be bothered.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it's possible to root my phone. I am elite noob level when it comes to these sort of things, so bare with me please. I've been doing a bit of research, and from what I can tell, a lot depends on your software version, security patch, and even when you bought your phone? I will give as much detail as possible.

motherboard replacement?

T-Mobile V20,

I have a spotty USB Port, dug out alot of debris which helped with standard cable, ordered magnetic cable which worked perfectly for about a month, I like this because the plug keeps out debris. All of a sudden the magnetic cable has problems going in and out of connection/slow charging. The standard cable works better but will still need adjusting to get a fast charge, probably only a matter of time before it gets worse.

Is there a source for new motherboards, the only one I found is $130.

I found a used phone with no battery or back untested for $75. If I were to gamble on the motherboard/usb being good, would a newbie have any problems/surprises either cloning my phone to the purchased 1, or swapping motherboards?

I want to keep a V20 because I just have to keep my zerolemon 10,000 Mah battery.

thanks for any help/info,.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Redline:
If you root both and are the same model and capacity, you could do a full TWRP backup on your old one to a microSD, put that in the "new" one and restore it from TWRP. Effectively then you'd have the same phone, but it must be the same exact model and capacity. I don't imagine you'd have much problems swapping the motherboard, or even the USB-C connector (in most phones the bottom part which has the speaker and USB connector is a separate part, screwed to the motherboard) but that's a bit beyond my knowledge. See if you can find a teardown video on YouTube of the phone, that should help.
