I try all tutorial on this website and pass more 12 hours to try to find a working solution.

Great THX to Great thx to - DirtySanta + TheDantee + USA-RedDragon + jcadduono, the 4 guys make 99% of the job but

I confirm you the H915 with locked version of videotron dont work with dirtySanta or TheSanta post.

( the US997 rom form sprint boot and root is enabled but you cannont use bell DATA network, phone network yes )

I going to fix the tutorial and general and right proper solution, thx to

I dont know where come your H915 but your tutorial not working after few try... and thx for *****ing me :)

I going to make a perfect "real" solution for the H915 videotron locked version :) )

So 03/29/2017 some update come in your face :) see you tomorrow.

I am not a genious, only french canadien with time to lose, i going to try to do my best, my english is not perfect.

if is possible admin, please move my post to the root section !

I just use some part of each to complete the kick in the ass for completely root a 100% the LG v20 canadien version. ( no lag with LTE )

The first thing - the only working way at this time, you need to convert your H915 to US996

Please read carrefully TheDantee ( thx bro ) tutorial and execute the Step 1 to Step 17

after you done, reboot and go back to the recovery again.

At this point with the H915 canadien version if you use the recovery us996 or h918 this make no difference all the way TWRP detect a fake H918

you need to install with twrp the custom kernel AngryAlbatross (1.1)

https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/kernel-werewolf-kernel-t3541485

after this is done, if you try to install the us996 deODEd version you have again a h918 error message so i just make some edit on the zip file to make a fake h918 version with the complety version of us996 deODEd

you can download the file here : US996-fake-h918-bypass-for-canadien-VTR-h915-version_deODEXd_Stock_NRD90M-manfire

After you install everything just reboot and go to the system. ALL IS GOING TO CRASH DONT PANIC, the thing is at this point you LG V20 H915 is now a complete us996-D version.

You need to use this version of UPPERCUT

http://downloads.codefi.re/d/iWr_Rt...rime/LG/Flash_Tools/LGUP/UPPERCUT_1.0.0.0.zip

only this one work well.

For activated the LTE and dont crash and everyhing you need to use the UPGRADE bouton TO turn your US99610d fake version to the US99610F with this .kdz file

https://lg-firmwares.com/get/216853b4406d254e373f986d3d5469b6/US99610f_00_1205.kdz

So now the lg officiel software upgrade your H915 to US996f like a original at this point your cellphone is NOT ROOTED but you have the LTE network and allmost stable version ( just remove the original lock screen ).

you want the root now ? is not finish my friend.

you need to do again all step to go on the recovery again - stop at STEP 10

Please read carrefully TheDantee ( thx bro ) tutorial and execute the Step 1 to Step 10

When you are in the recovery, if you want to **** your us996f just install superSu SR1 ( dont do that ) !!!!!

you need to install a new kernel ( this is the only way if you want to root it ), thx to jcadduono !

https://build.nethunter.com/nightly...ethunter-h918-nougat-3.15.4-20170211-0304.zip

dont ask me WHY, i dont know without this kernel you cannont install supersu and have the LTE up ...

is not finish, dont ask me WHY AGAIN but you need to install the complete package too !!

https://build.nethunter.com/nightly...-kalifs-full-rolling-3.15.4-20170211-0304.zip

and the last install is ( dont ask me why )

come back to the AngryAlbatross (1.1)

https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/kernel-werewolf-kernel-t3541485

after - wipe - format - yes

after advanced wipe ONLY [ Dalvik, Data and Cache ]

You going to see a beautiful RED triangle, just ignore it ... after the kali logo, boot is done my friend you have now LTE us996f with superSu ( go to google store, download and install it, binary is done ) + kali complete mod... just remove it if you dont want it ...

I make all the test on my LG-h915 videotron and is now with unlocked network BELL LTE + SuperSu rooted all the way kick in ass lg v20 .

Thx to everybody,
