Someone already answered you, but if you'd be so kind, would you please point me to the Rooting method you used?

Thank You
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] scorpio76r:
I used the first root way that runningnak3d posted first before his newer way. I did another device later on using Kish's root thread.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zeuszoos:
Thank you for responding. I'm not familiar with either of those handles (names). You wouldn't happen to have them bookmarked or something? If not, I'll try searching for them.

Was that other device an H918 also? Or maybe an H910?

I have an H910 (AT&T), but it's a GSM Unlocked and so I'm using it with MetroPCS (T-Mobile). I ordered an H918, but they were out and substituted this. I've heard that some Root methods are model specific, but others work on more than one. My laptop crapped and I've had to order a part for it. That's what's held me up.

Was the Rooting methods you used long and difficult? I've seen a couple that were pages long. I was not eader to try them, but I need Root.

Thank You

What model should I buy (for easy root)

I am thinking about buying a V20 to use as a Music player for my car stereo's Aux input (DEH-80PRS and KDC-X747) and my home stereo, I will probably be using my GSM sim from freedompop and possibly red pocket mobile in the near future (Minneapolis, MN area)

What model is the easiest to root with the current updates and are there any major differences in the models to know about?

What model would you recommend?

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] scorpio76r:
I have the H918 as do a few other members whom I know of. It's really easy to root using runningnak3d 's thread. I am currently running the alpha rom. The H918 is also my daily driver. I use this phone for must too. I got a Bluetooth aux adapter and plugged it into the aux in my suv and paired the Bluetooth. It's been wonderful. This model and, rom tops my once used lg-g3 which I thought was my best device ever owned. Not anymore though. This device is. Just thought I would give alittle feedback and, personal experience.

It's Been a While

Hey Devs and Users,

It's been a while since I messed with Root. Since I won't be getting any version of a Pixel (I like to add storage and swap batteries), I need to keep this reliable phone around for a while. It's finally paid off and OEM Unlocked from T-Mo. I just unlocked the bootloader yesterday. I am on software version H91820g and have the October 1 Update. I am planning to take this phone to Fi (better pricing even without carrier switching).

Not knowing what is or isn't current anymore, do I still need to roll back to H91810P to get root as indicated here:

https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/root-lafsploit-h918-version-t3773443

I don't even know what a different Kernel will do anymore, is it required to switch them? I don't know that I am interested in a custom ROM, just a bloat free Oreo. I've also been reading up about Magisk vs Xposed. I play Ingress, and since they also make Pokemon Go, I think Magisk would be the better route for managing root tweaks.

Thanks for any/all replies. Like I said in the subject, it's been a while.

unable to get to download mode

LG V20 910

On boot, it shows the LG logo, but does not start.

When I hold Vol up and plug in usb, the same thing happens

When I hold Vol down and plug in usb it does boot to fastboot

adb does not recognize the device

fastboot via command prompt in windows does recognize it

LGUP does not recognize it

Is there a way for me to flash back to H91510e_00_VTR_CA_OP_1205.kdz with Fastboot, or is there another method to get download mode again?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
Yup that method is still current. Xposed is on top of root for extra features but will trip every root detector, supersu is the alternative root provider. Switching kernels (to mk2000 for instance) improves performance and enables kcal which lets you tweak the color balance slightly to dramatically reduce the screen retention most v20s eventually start having.

H918

Root via lafsploit. (You found the original thread, someone else breaks it down into more detail here. Either is fine)

Upgrade TWRP (either through Twrp itself install-install image-recovery. Or with flashify or similar)

plain rooted stock oreo

Mk2000 Kernel

is my H910 dead ? won't turn on even with new battery

Went to bed with the phone around 80% charge, woke up and it was dead - wouldn't turn back on. Tried charging, nothing happened - still a black screen. Tried various things I read about online - still nothing. No combination of buttons pressed works. Ordered a new battery and replaced it - still nothing. Device not even able to be recognized when attaching to my computer. Is there anything else I can try or is it fried ?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] scorpio76r:
Have you tried removing the battery, holding the power button for 10 seconds to discharge any power left in it. Then after that putting the battery back in. Once battery is in hold the volume up button and, insert your USB cable to the device while the other end is plugged to your wall charger or pc USB port with the pc on.

1. Which is the best way to backup Non-rooted devices? LG Backup doesn't restore all data apps.

2. And best way to disable apps (aka Debloater- didn't worked).

https://xdaforums.com/and...bloat-t2998294

3. I have problems with Wi-Fi and Tethering. Wi-Fi appears "Connection not allowed" and can not connect, or if it connects does not make traffic. And using Tethering I can't connect from other devices. May be software or hardware related nature? Factory reset doesn't solved it.

4. If I write KDZ it appears somewhere when it was written (for warranty reasons)?

5. Anti rollback should be 0 (Zero) for downgrading? If so, what is the latest version where anti rollback is zero for both Android 7 and 8 for LG V20 990DS SEA?

6. As far as updating from Android 7 to 8 Non-root OTA can I root later by downgrading to 7 and use this method?

https://xdaforums.com/v20...h990-t3624296/

7. I have used LGUP and selected all partitions from DUMP. Is it enough if something goes wrong, do I have everything I need? It must have specific extension?

8. If I install TWRP is it possible to go back to stock recovery (how)?

Hey there.

I've had the V20 since release and it's not even a year old yet, so. I'm not quite sure what I've been doing wrong.

Some people (I've seen on the forums) have been claiming to pull maybe 8 or 9 hours, hell more than 12 hours one cycle of battery on their V20's without root (though rarely) and I'm sitting here barely pulling 4...

I've noticed that my screen will occasionally burn in even if I'm only in a certain page or app for just a couple of minutes (mainly Facebook and YouTube).

The burn goes away, but now I'm getting a new problem where my phone will restart for no reason (this is new to me) and seemingly so when it's moderately warm.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I'm on Sprint running Nougat.

Does a rooted LGV20 H910 still have manual controls on the Video Camera?

I've got the LGV20 H910 from AT&T. One of the main reasons I went for this one was the camera. I LOVE all of the manual controls. Do these remain in tact on the new ROM after the Dirty Santa root? I understand that there is currently no way to return to stock ROM, so I want to be sure that I won't lose the manual controls on this badass video camera.

I haven't seen any mention of this one way or the other in the pages I've been reading over the last several months since I got the machine.

Related to this, how about the HD Audio recorder and Hi-Fi Quad DAC?

My guess is that because the new ROM was made for the V20, it should be fine. I just want to be sure before I take the plunge.

Hello,

I have the Verizon V20, currently in the process of Dirty Santaing my device. I finished this part:

- Verizon(VS995) and ATT(H910):

4.1) Flash SuperSU.zip

4.2) Go back to Main-menu > Wipe > [Format Data] > Type ?Yes?

4.3) Go back to Wipe > Advanced > Check Dalvik, Data and Cache > Slide to wipe

4.4) Go back to Main-menu > Reboot > System

And it restart into the Verizon four dot screens. And I let it sit there literally all night while I slept. Woke up and nothing changed. I tried Vol - but nothing seemed to work or take it to any screen but the ones it were stuck at, which were the Corrupt! triangle - > restart into LG - > Verizon four dots.

I went into CMD, adb devices shows

List of devices attached

LGUS996ca792a6e device

and since I have used adb reboot-recovery to try and rewipe/reflash SuperSU. Still always brought back to Verizon four dots of sadness, sorrow, self doubt, and green leafy vegetables without ranch. Any suggestions?

Edit: sorry I forgot to mention that when I use the cmd abd reboot-bootloader it loads into a bootloader / fastboot screen on my phone but when I cmd fastboot flash boot boot2.img it outputs

error: cannot load 'boot2.img'

and my phone outputs fastboot: getvar:partition-type:boot

Have auto updates made rooting AT&T 910 impossible?

From what I've been reading here, it seems that there may have been some security patches that make it so Dirty Santa won't work. Is that correct? Does this mean that, even if I correctly follow all the steps, I won't be able to root my AT&T LG V20 910 using Dirty Santa?

I have an LG G3 right now and I'm considering upgrading to a V20.

A big problem I have with my G3 is the camera quality in custom ROMs. If it's not a stock-based ROM, you take a massive hit in camera quality.

My question is: does the V20 have the same issue? Did LG lock down the camera in the V20 as well? I want to be able to use custom ROMs without losing high quality photos.

TIA

Updated Magisk and ended up in Fastboot - can boot into recovery - next move is...?

Hi XDA People

Ran into a problem with my us996 and am presently in twrp version 3.2.2-1 so I am looking for words of wisdom so that I do not dig myself into a hole I can't get out of.

I got here after updating Magisk and installing it. Pretty sure that deselecting encryption and installing a new version of Magisk was the cause since the phone immediately went into fastboot after that.

The phone is unlocked, rooted and running a stock version of the os. I don't really care if I wipe the data partition because I did not have any data worth keeping but I would like to make sure that I am able to either reinstall what I had

or go to Oreo. I have an sd card with an older version of Magisk on it that worked previously on this phone.

I tried rebooting to system when in TWRP but that brought me back to the fastboot screen so something is up....

I was able to see the phone when running adb devices from a computer - did not try to reboot the phone from there

because I wanted to ask here first. If it is safer to reinstall a rom and magisk from TWRP I would prefer that but I'm a noob so ...

Any help appreciated - Thanks
