Hello everyone, I need help please, I finally got my T-Mo LG V20 and rooted it, but the only thing I need is a kernel for this particular phone, I'm not looking for performance as I don't play any games, it is just to get Viper4android to work, sound is my number one priority, I'm running pure stock 918J10 so I basically need a kernel that works with my stock rom. Thanks in advance and have a great day.

You will have to unlock the bootloader before you do anything else.

If there any root method currently for the h910 from AT&T or is this particular device just screwed? So far I'm highly disappointed that it is already running on April security update
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Smittiegee19:
Screwed, as of right now
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ps3hacker3:
Is it a dead project or is there still hope for root access, I'm decent and testing methods and things as long as there is a recovery solution similar to Odin or something which appears that there isn't even that at all so I hope I'm not stuck with no root because I will highly consider returning this device without root access.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Smittiegee19:
I would consider returning it then. Anyone past December is screwed. There was some hope in the G5 section with the uppercut method, but I haven't got a response out of the OP to see if it is still a WIP. Check there

LG V20 H918 stuck in boot loop with TWRP

I have an LG V20 H918 (T-Mobile) with unlocked bootloader, rooted, running a custom ROM called Weta. I did a T-Mobile update and restarted and it booted into TWRP 3.0.2-0. Every reboot just goes back to TWRP and will not load Android. I wiped data and installed a new custom ROM called NATF MegaROM and rebooted and it still only boots into TWRP. Please help.

One thing I vaguely remember reading when I first unlocked my bootloader and rooted said something about having to install the custom rom before rebooting just after unlocking with ADB otherwise it will encrypt the file system and lock the boot loader again, I think I remember this happening on my first attempt and I had to start the process over with ADB and it worked the second time. I have not tried using ADB for my current problem. I am not sure if this recent update somehow relocked my bootloader or encrypted my file system or not.

My goal is to get any custom rom working with root (was previously rooted). I am able to copy custom rom files to my SD card via a computer. So far installing them still does not get me past TWRP into Android.

GPS issue with F800L

Hello,

My new V20 F800L has difficulties on GPS Lock in GREECE.

One more thing.

I can't find the way to make the phone stop ask me for PIN every time wakes up.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
The pin issue could be a series of things. If you're using a fingerprint and it asks every time, perhaps a third party launcher could be the cause. If anything other than pressing the power button or double tapping *specifically the status bar* (with the exception of the stock launcher) turns of the screen, fingerprint is disabled. Or perhaps if you mean you don't use a fingerprint and you don't want it to lock up every time your screen turns off, look at the bottom of the Lock Screen Settings and uncheck "Power key instantly locks" and increase the "Lock timer" setting.

Noob as Q

Hello XDA community I have been out of touch with anything mobile tech wise for many years now and need some assistance please. I have had my LG V20(H990DS)for a while now and I'd like to know how to find out what region it comes from?

I have tried searching for this info to no avail, I feel like an IDIOT considering my past with XDA and I really would like to know if I can flash an AU stock ROM(H990)over whatever SEA(H990)ROM that came with the phone. Thanks in advance.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] netswim:
Thank you.

I had set the fingerprint but I stopped it. Now it asks me always for my PIN I set in the beginning.

I don't want the PIN!!! I want to unlock without PIN. I can't find the setting of this.

Because of Korean version, the firmware has no all the languages. Is there any tip to add language (No the keyboard, I mean the system).

And the last thing is the GPS that takes too long to lock.

Thank you for your support.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
Languages are the first option in Languages and Keyboard. Once you add another one, tap and hold a language to prioritize what language to use. Under Lock Screen in the Settings, the first option lets you change from a pin to a swipe to unlock.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] netswim:
Thank you again.

The pin is been removed.

There is no Greek language to add.

Is there any other way to add other languages?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
Not really, but I saw it in the languages when I looked. I wouldn't think different variants don't have all languages. If that is the case, I guess me having the international model would explain.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] netswim:
Thanks.

Maybe an international firmware port for all the models would be good!!!!

Please tell me. Your GPS is fast locked? Mine not at all!!

It reminds me some old Chinese phones!!!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
My GPS works just fine. Could just be because I'm in America. Not sure if it's a lack of reception to gps satallites or a bad gps sensor in the phone. There is a workaround for adding a language if it's not showing up on the phone, but requires doing some adb work. If you're not very familiar with abd look up a guide on how to enable usb debugging, how to get adb, and how to use it. Get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wanam

and enter

adb -d shell pm grant com.wanam android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

in adb. Now select the language in the app and it should be available in the phone's settings.

Since two days I can't do anything on my external SD card. I delete it, I format it, I restart my smartphone. I remove it and I plug it back in. I can delete on there what I want. It tells me in the same session it's empty, but when I restart everything is back on there. PLUS I can't copy anything on there since it seems to say to me

"Das Gerät reagiert nicht mehr oder die Verbindung wurde getrennt."

=

"The device doesn't respond anymore or the connection got separated."

What can I do to fix that?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Welkwo:
:) Have you tried plugging it into a PC via a Micro SD adapter and seeing if it is accessible from there? It could possibly be something to do with the partition table on the SD becoming corrupted, if so, the best option would be to use Diskpart and completely clean the device and rebuild the partitions.

Reference to the above method: https://fossbytes.com/how-to-repair-corrupted-pen-drive-or-sd-card/

Worse case, the SD might just have failed. This can happen, although slightly uncommon, everything has the potential to fail and I've had quite a few give out on me over the years. Although the question isn't strictly to do with the V20, it is a difficulty one might encounter while using any device.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SYLVER SECOND:
K, I plugged it into my PC via Micro SD adapter. I had access. I changed the name of the adapter and formated it and all. Restarted my phone and my phone and the stick contained the same files. I tried to format it via CMD, but I get this error:"Error in DiskPart: The system can't find the mentioned file. You can find more information about this in your systemhappeningprotocol (??? don't know how to translate that properly).

Is the SD card already broken? I used it almost 2 - 3 years now. Can I write SanDisk to get a new one? A other dude did that as well and got a spare one.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Welkwo:
Hi there,

You used the Diskpart method, correct?

The steps go as follows:

NOTE: DISKPART CAN DAMAGE YOUR SYSTEM IF NOT USED CAREFULLY, FOLLOW THESE STEPS CLOSELY AND IF YOU'RE UNSURE ABOUT SOMETHING. DON'T DO IT WITHOUT FINDING OUT FIRST, I (WELKWO) AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU WIPE YOUR COMPUTER'S DATA AND PARTITIONS OR FOR ANY DATA LOSS/DAMAGE IN GENERAL. THIS ADVICE IS DISPENSED IN A "AT YOUR OWN RISK BASIS."

Open a administrative Command Prompt window.

Type diskpart into the command line

Upon starting, type in "lis dis" without quotes and select the disk that matches the size of the SD card in question by typing "sel dis #" and replace # with the dis number to your SD Card.

type "clean" and wait for the command to finish. Then type "create part prim" and then "format fs=fat quick".

(Optional) Type "assign letter=Y" (Replace 'Y' with any mount point you'd like.

If all goes well, the SD Card should be fixed. In addition, I'd also back that up by running a chkdsk command by exiting diskpart and opening another administrator command prompt. Then, type chkdsk -f X: (replace 'X' with the mount point letter you gave the device above.)

If the above fails, it is more than likely that your SD Card finally gave out on you through so many years of hard work.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Welkwo:
O.o I hate to throw in the towel but it seems like it may have died on you, did you try chkdsk? Or is it even getting a mountpoint when you insert it?

Soni am having this issue with my ATT H910 running WETA. I attained root a few days ago and flashed WETA. Being the flasher I am, I finished AOKP and wanted to try it out. I wiped like usual, but i think I had a bad download. I restored my WETA backup and rebooted. When I get to my start screen it asks for my password like normal, but my password is incorrect. The only way to pass it is to wipe the ROM and start from scratch. I have to do this every time. Has anyone ran into this and if you have, how did you fix it?

Right now the most important factor is the security patch date. I think the working date is December 2016. Depending on the device model (and how recent your current security patch is) you may be able to roll back. There's plenty of root threads on the V20 community.

So, I'm thinking of buying a V20 and finally retire my trusty ol' Xperia Z Ultra.

I will be getting the International H990DS if that's the case, but I'm seeing a lot of them without the B&O tuning on Ebay, how come?

My understanding were that all H990DS came with B&O tuning.

It got me thinking that the ones without B&O might be newer productions, in that case; would it be safer to purchase a B&O version as I will certainly root it?

Or, would a newly produced one fare better in terms of future reliability?

Cheers

I got a new issue now with my LG V20:

I can't listen to music anymore.

I suppose there is some kind of virus in the OS itself?

Because I can't properly play back video files like I was used to.

Then I drop music on my external or internal SD. I can listen to the music for some time, but

about 20 hours or so every song is corrupted, deleted, broken or the app crashes.

I resetted the smartphone completly and thought the 24 DAC thingy was the perpetrator,

then I thought it might've been PowerAmp. Now I use 4 other apps and I get the same ****ty issue.

Also: I have very slow data transfer... like... VERY SLOW!

With my old Sony Xperia Z3 Compact I guess I had USB 2.0 and I could copy files on there on a 2.0 level.

With the new LG V20 I have USB 3.0 AFAIK and I have transfer speeds like it's USB 1.0.

What the hell is wrong with my smartphone? Is it broken? How can I test it? I bought it used.

I kinda feel ripped off right now. I want a smartphone that is able to play a couple of albums...

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Salvaparalyzer:
I had made a thread for this, but since no one answered:

Has anyone had issues with video recording?

I had noticed before that my V20's default camera wasn't recording correctly (audio can be heard, but video has no motion). I thought it was because it was set to 4k recording and that for some reason that didn't work correctly. Did not paid much attention to the issue till yesterday.

I recall having recorded some videos other times without problem. But yesterday, there was no way I could rec a video.

Tried all available resolutions (UHD, FHD 60, FHD, HD) and disabled steady rec & focus, basically enabled/disabled all video recording options. But no motion at all. In manual mode, when set to 1 or 2 fps. I have some movement (but obviously cannot record a normal video at all).

I tried Open Camera, but it's the same, cannot record any video (With Camera 2 Api on or off)

The only app I could get to record a video was Footej Camera (but cannot record to 60 fps, so it's like my videocamera is crippled or something)

I got the 10F firmware. (specifically H990ds10f_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_0622.kdz)

Has someone an advice or something I can do? I already tried disabling/enabling and clearing data of the camera app, but no luck.

PS. Yesterday when I first had the issue in the morning, I rebooted the phone and recording worked again for a while.

But last night, tried the same and it didn't worked at all. Today I did the same, nothing. :(

Another update: Downloaded Google Camera port for Snapdragon 820, and the problem persists. I've noticed that if I force stop/clear data of the camera app, and reboot. It records video after rebooting. But tried again like 5 minutes later and it didn't record anything again.

I was messing with Titanium Backup and the camera app, and I was forced to factory reset my h990ds. Problem still persists. Could it have something to do with emdroidle custom kernel?

Does someone has a hint or something? :(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SYLVER SECOND:
Hey there. I got as well some issues with the video recording functions and listening to albums on my phone. I have the normal rom and updated it normally with that bloatware **** and all. I just updated and resetted so far. I have DIRE problems saving my videos or albums on my external SD. I also think it ****ed up my old 64 GB flash card. I have now a 128 GB flash card. Read my previous post. I have basically the USB speed of a MP3-Player from 2000. I can transfert 2.5 GB per hour, which is kinda not good. I could do 4 times the stuff with the Z3 compact. I think LG V20 is just basically a fail. I had issues with Z3 Compact, with Galaxy S4 and now with the LG V20. Galaxy S2 and an old ****ty LG smartphone of mine work perfectly though.

I will buy now a new phone and sell this old piece of **** since I know that many experience this problem. I wanted to post a video about the error you mentioned but then YouTube and me (we both) ****ed up in the same time. So this will take a while. But I know how I can reproduce the video error: Just start recording.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Salvaparalyzer:
Well, my brother has the same v20 (not rooted) and doesn't have this problem.

I don't have any other noticeable problem besides this.

Also, I think is not a hardware problem because I can record without problem with footej camera, and in apps like Instagram/WhatsApp/messenger

Edit: I PM'd emdroidle (who made the kernel I use) and he said some people is also having issue with this.

The touch sensitivity times out after a couple of seconds, necessitating the screen be turned off and on again constantly if you want to input anything.
