[LG V20 Questions & Answers] fookme:
I have a ATT H910. The stock camera can't turn the flash on when i take photo. I tried the manual mode but it still doesn't work. The flash works fine while on video though, the flashlight also has no problem. Tried any other camera apps and it works, only the stock apps that wont turn the flash on while im taking picture. This bother me when i use instagram because i cant use the flash too. Already tried restart, clear data and cache of the stock camera still no solution. Could you help me?

Hey all.

I'm really hoping someone can help me. Does anyone have the h910_dll file ?

Basically, I've been given a v20 by a friend that is bricked (the phone, not the friend) It just turned off one day and that was it . Device Manager on my Win10 Pc sees it, I've set it to port41, I'm using in on USB2 ports. Every guide I see just says "Use LGUP" or "Use Uppercut" and it should just work, but it's not. They all say no device connected (even though Device manager see's it). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and programs in various combinations, I've used patched versions, I feel like you name it I've tried it. The most success I've had is following this G5 guide https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/how-to/bring-lg-g5-to-life-download-mode-lgup-t3565508 - this has the (modified?) Flashtool at least acknowledge the phone, but because I don't have the dll file, I can't complete the steps to confirm if it's dead dead. I've looked but can't find the file (more likely me not searching for the right thing)

I'd love to get this phone up and running. I'm in the UK and this phone wasn't released over hear and I want to use the DAC! haha.

If anyone has the 910/915 dll (same right?) file - or a similar fix to my problem - that would be amazing! I'm ready to either throw it at a wall or just sell it online as non working . Another question, if I did sell it as non working, is the data recoverable or is that gone?

Lots of questions, thanks for your time.

LGUP and kdz flashing

I want to root my v20 h990ds by the dirtysanta method. in the process of downgrading my software (prior to december 31st 2016), i did not find any kdz file for my region, India. i wanted to know if i can flash kdz of another region without any consequences. thank you in advance.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] deepaktalwalker:
You may flash .Kdz of another region but if Baseband version is different then there will be problem with normal cellular communication I.e. VoLTE etc. Also you need to flash .kdz of dual SIM variant only of different region otherwise device may brick...:)

Is there anyway I can root the LG V20 T-Mobile without having the phone factory reset? Or unlock bootloader and TWRP without factory reset? Thanks.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] deepaktalwalker:
No. As soon as you attempt to unlock the bootloader the entire data will be wiped out. It moreorless amounts to factory reset.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dwh2o13:
AFAIK, the best option is to back up your personal date and files to an external source. If you have pictures, I'm sure you're aware of google photos, there are apps in the PS that are good for backing up a lot of stuff including text messages and such. I've used an app called Super Backup and Restore before and it worked pretty well.

Now once you get bootloader unlocked and twrp installed, you'll want to give the newly rooted stock ROM base time to settle in and make sure everything is functioning well. I usually do this before installing any apps. If you're happy with the performance, this is the time to make a nandroid backup in twrp and you'll have a restore point if anything ever goes south..:)

One metal contact on mainboard gone! What exactly are inside the lower bumper?

The second contact from the right on motherboard , next to the earphone port, now has come off (although it is OK in the pic). It should connect a metal contact in the lower bumper and act as some antenna. But what exactly?

I tried to cover the lower bumper with hands, which makes NO difference on LTE and 2G signal (but 2g looks like not very good itself). Neither 2.4 or 5 wifi . While 3G reception could be compromised, but not cut off.

At the moment, nothing obviously wrong has been noticed after the damage, but I am still very upset and would like to know what specific function or antenna that contact is responsible for. Best it was no big deal.

Thank you in advance.

AT&T keeps forcing an update

I have a V20-H910. Phone works great, but I made the mistake of rooting it like I had every other phone I've had before. I made sure to follow the correct version, I used the dirty santa/cow method often used by people here and it worked perfectly. No hiccups.

Unfortunately, AT&T is forcing an update over and over on this phone. When the update happens, the phone automatically reboots into TWRP recovery mode and the update never fully finishes only to force install the update again 10 seconds after Android boots fully. The first time this cycle occurred I just wiped everything and removed root (TWRP is still installed). Removing root worked (Android pay functions again, everything else seems normal). A few weeks later the update forced itself again, and the cycle resumed until I gave up and left my phone to rot overnight. When I woke up and reboot, Android decided the update failed and it left me alone for two more weeks; which brings me to today. It started again. The update does just force itself, there is no way to just ignore it indefinitely as it just installs itself if I ignore it for 12 hours.

I just want my phone to work, don't care if it's rooted or not. I'd rather not have to completely reinstall and log into everything all over again if I can avoid it.

A few other notes that could help. First, Everytime I reboot the first screen says:"your device has failed a routine safety check".... it tells me my phone won't start, then starts anyway. This screen links to g.co/ABH . Second, the first TWRP screen asks for a password to decrypt data to mount, the password is not default_password or my screenlock translated to numbers.

Thanks

VS995 doesn't vibrate

I have the vs995 and one day it just quit vibrating all together. The phone just won't vibrate at all. I rooted it with dirty Santa a long time ago. I've flashed this phone many times. I've upgraded it many times and I've downgraded it many times. I've tried kernel auditors and device control apps. I've also flashed mods on it. I can't remember if I mightve flashed some kind of mod to stop the boot vibration or not. I'm really stumped right now cause a lot of times I don't know if I have notifications cause I'm not able to hear it go off due to loud surroundings. Please if possible I could really use some help on this to figure it out. I'm currently on the newest alpha Rom and my kernel is the mk2000.

Who wants to team up with me on rooting the F800S?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EuroTechPaul:
Verizon VS995 MMS stopped working

A few weeks ago, my phone stopped sending and receiving picture messages. I've been using Google Messages. I tried clearing the cache, then I did a battery pull, SIM and SD card pull. It started working again for a few weeks. Then stopped again. It gets stuck on "sending" and "message not downloaded". Tried the same procedure, and this time it didn't help. I tried a different text app - Textra. Didn't help. But if I revert to the LG Messaging app or Verizon Message+, it works fine. I HATE those two apps though. Google Messages is by far superior. Any help would be appreciated.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Squish!:
Hi thread,

I'm planning to buy a V20, and I intend to root it out of the box, as I can't stand not using xprivacy.

Which of the variants would be the best choice for reliable rooting, for use in Australia, typically on Optus?

I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I haven't found an answer in recent times by flicking through several pages.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Redline:
I have a H990DS and it works fine in AU. What you'll want to do is get one and see if it comes with the Dec 2016 security patch level out of the box. If so, you can go right into the rooting with Dirty Santa for H990 thread and follow along to get yourself started. If it doesn't, then you'll need to download the V10C KDZ for the TWN region from lg-firmwares.com and use an LG KDZ tool to downgrade your device to it (can't remember which but it'll be easy to find by poking around here, might be LG UP or LG KDZ Tool). Once you've either rooted right out of the box or downgraded and rooted, you can get everything you need setup and flashed such as apps, GAPPS, root (I recommend Magisk personally since it has the ability to hide root from apps, useful for banking apps), xposed, etc. Once you've got everything you need, you can use KDZ Writer in its thread, and follow the instructions to flash the latest available KDZ for the Australian region from the same website as above. After doing so, you'll be on the latest available firmware for your device and will keep root, xposed, etc. As KDZ Writer works by updating the system. This is how we're able to update and keep root. From there, you're free to go and all you'll need to do is flash a KDZ using Writer whenever we get an update.

Alternatively, you can stay on the latest TWN firmware (v10k or v10i I believe it is) and it will work fine in Aus, as this is how I have mine setup. Keep in mind that the TWN firmware doesn't have VoLTE so you WILL need to flash the Australian firmware if you need that. The downside is the AU firmware comes with more bloat you'll have to manually uninstall after updating.

It might all seem like a bit much, but take your time, ask questions, download everything you think you might need especially the KDZ files as they're 3GB each, and you're good to go. You'll understand everything I've said as you go along, and there's a thorough guide on rooting in the Dirty Santa H990 thread. Once you've got the latest firmware on your device, I recommend flashing the D.O.T.S kernel (you can find v1.5 towards the latest posts in the thread) and the updated TWRP recovery from its thread too. Best of luck and just ask questions if you need to :)

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

Work out if you can root your device, if so and how. If you can root, use Uninstaller Pro to disable any bloat you don't want running.

Screen and camera performance is both fine. Worst case if you're having burn in, you can find the thread where the guy gives the values to adjust for the screen in Kernel Adiutor to fix it.

I have got myself a v20 just 1 week ago.It is the h910 at&t version.I heared lot about the quad dac which makes your musics sounds great.But in my phone after plugging in my earphones,turning on or off the quad dac feature doesn't give any difference.I have seen in some youtube videos that the quad dac usually gives you a more louder sound than the normal mode.In my case sound is loud and crisp and i have no complain about that.But turning on or off quad dac feature i can't hear any difference.I am using the cheap white lg headphones(not b&o) that they have provided with the box.what might be the problem??
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] sheik124:
Hello, this is definitely a stupid question but I hope I can get an answer.

Looking to buy a brand new in box V20, I am an AT&T customer. AFAIK there is no AT&T Oreo update yet. I'm mainly interested in picking it up for the Quad DAC and the removable battery so I can use it for a few years.

I know if I get the AT&T H910a, I'll have VoLTE, VoWi-Fi, and all that other good stuff right out of the box. If it's on an old enough software version that I can root it right away, is there a way to get it on Oreo (LG or custom ROM, don't really care) and keep all of the IMS features working? IMEI on the account won't be an issue as I already have everything provisioned on AT&T's end. Ie. If I can achieve the same result by flashing something to another variant of the phone, I want to know so I can buy it instead.

I know you can kind of finagle it on Samsung phones by flashing CSC files but I haven't messed with LG since my Nexus 4 and Cyanogen. Getting all features working on AT&T was obviously less complicated.

Thanks in advance.

USB-C hub works best with a charger that supports usb-pd (so a stock v20 would be slow charging) but it does work well. Besides two usb-a ports, it has a usb-c port to power the phone and any usb peripherials, an hdmi port, and an ethernet port, oh and an sdcard reader. Havnt tested the last three, but I think I found it or similar on the peripherials section so give it a try.

Hey cnjax,

I made a mistake when posting I meant to say either the H910 or H915, I guess the main thing I keep seeing is that the H910 gets flashed to the H915 anyway and there's no way back to stock H910. Not sure if I would ever need it but just want a decent camera, sub $300, semi easy path to root with all bands for AT&T and keep going in circles. Also a lot of ebay listing even if the phone is new say the phone is updated to the latest software but some of the listings for the H915 say they are in a sealed box.

This is the guide I was basing my judgement on:

Hey all,

I have a question about flashing to a different firmware.

I just bought a refurbished LG V20 of the F800K variety from China. I plan to use it mostly in Israel and the US. The firmware has a bunch of bloat related to KT Telecom, and I would prefer to have a cleaner experience with a more "generic" firmware version if possible. On my old phones, I've always understood that it's a bad idea to flash firmware from other versions of the phone, but I've seen a few references to being able to do that with this phone. Can anyone tell me if this is indeed possible with the V20, and if so can you recommend a firmware to flash that will get me that more generic "factory stock"-type experience?

(I've read references to maybe needing to reprogram the radios after flashing a different firmware, but that sounds complicated. I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction for how to do this if necessary).

Thanks in advance.
