but i after step 2 clicked on step 3 then automatically rebooted device and crashed, now i cant go to download mod, my screen is crashed and not see anything :(
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daved+:
Trying to root this for the first time. I get "Your device is corrupted it cannot be trusted and will not boot" and so far it does not boot :(

I can get to TWRP where I flashed kernel and magisk but it will not boot, it gets stuck at the LG boot logo after showing the red triangle twice.

What should I do now? I'm asking before I flash the stock kdz.

Thanks for the help
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightshadow931:
Don't know then, sorry :/

[MENTION=997815]Daved+[/MENTION], give it some time, if it doesn't boot try clearing dalvik.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mL:
It took a long while for my phone to boot after root, if you haven't tried, try to leave it for perhaps 10 minutes(charging).

The good news is that you have TWRP. Mine got stuck before TWRP had installed.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ali_mohtadi:
it doesn't boot, how can i clear dalvik???
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightshadow931:
Through twrp.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ali_mohtadi:
i said can't go to recovery mod and twrp, and my download mod does not work, crashing :(
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daved+:
I left it 20 minutes with no luck

I also trying reflashing the bootbackup, reflashing twrp and kernel. Formated data and wiped cache.

Can I just flash the stock kdz or do I have to flash the abootbackup ? I want it to get it to boot.

Thanks

I haven't run step3.bat because it is not in the guide. Should I run it?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
The static screen indicates aboot has been successfully overwritten with the DirtySanta aboot. You've successfully completed step #14 and need to proceed from there, though you may need an alternative strategy to get to step #16.

Step #14 is supposed to get you into bootloader mode by issuing the command `adb reboot bootloader`. The alternative to get in to the bootloader is to first completely power off your phone (pull the battery). Reinstall the battery, but do not push the power button! Press and hold down, and then plug your USB cable into the phone. Your phone should end up at a screen with some small red text which indicates you're at the bootloader, simply follow step #16 (after saving the files from step #15).

Crucial point here. No. Step #16 in the instructions does the exact same thing as the original step3 script.

There is the strategy of using a hacked LGUP_common.dll in this thread. Otherwise using abootbackup.img works fine.

I don't know about SuperSU, but Magisk changes the ro.debuggable value to 1, which would have allowed `adb logcat` to succeed and potentially yielded information on why boot was taking so long. Going back to full stock is very much an option though.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daved+:
Thanks for your reply. I didn't try to go back to stock as I didn't want to be in a bigger trouble but it's good to know I can use the patched LG UP to flash it with the DS bootloader.

I thought what you said but I couldn't get ADB to connect to the phone while it was stuck at the boot logo. So I thought this was a kernel problem, the ones I found in this thread didn't work but the DOTS kernel did work and my phone booted! I don't know what can be causing my phone not to boot with the other kernels, it would be nice to know I guess.

Just wondering, is there any way to get TWRP to read data? I formated data but after the first successful boot I tried getting into recovery and TWRP was asking again for the password.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
ADB during boot does require you to have have told the phone to okay debugging permanently. Otherwise it would need to ask for an okay during boot and that doesn't work. Wondering what kind of magic DOTS has that works for you...

No, at present there isn't a way to get TWRP to read data. Problem is LG did something funky with encryption on the V20 and no one has managed to work around their changes. Personally, this is annoying, but isn't high on my list of things to try to solve.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daved+:
I meant that I didn't see the phone at all in my computer while it was stuck at boot, not ADB driver or anything, that why I thought of the kernel.

Luckily "DOTS_H990_kernel-leicxan_jahlex-v1.0.zip" got my phone to boot. If you want me to try some other kernel, just let me know.

xposed problems again

So I upgraded to the version: H990ds10h_00_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_1101.kdz and started installing everything back to my phone.

I use normally supersu for the root and installed the xposed installer and then from within the app the official xposed-v88.2-sdk-arm64 (this worked at my last installation)

But when using my modules like gravitybox i get: gravitybox system framework not responding error.

I've installed this phone many times before and everytime i am busy for hours, trying different ways to get it to work and then in the end it does finally, dont even know why apparently.

This time I also tried the systemless version from topjohnwu, i switched from superuser to magisk, i uninstalled framework, installed it again etc etc etc.

What am I doing wrong everytime, do i forget a step, do a step at the wrong moment, using the wrong files?

Please help, it's getting frustrating.

50$ to whoever can help me get spoof working on Pokemon go. Apparently I need to make GPS spoof app system but cannot be rooted. I believe if I root to move app to system then unroot I will lose that change, if I keep root the game knows. My reason for this is I have to travel 22 miles just to play the game and even so that area isn't that good. I have h990ds.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redline:
Root your phone. Install Xposed. Install Fake My GPS module. Use Magisk for your superuser app and use Magisk hide to hide your root from whatever apps you want. Or there are lots of Xposed modules to hide root from apps.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Wouldn't surprise me if you have conflicting files with all the jumping around you're doing. See if doing the following helps.

Download the superuser uninstall zip. Download the Magisk uninstall zip. Download the Xposed uninstall zip. All from their respective threads.

Then download Magisk 14.0 from the thread, and Magisk Manager.

Then Download official Xposed for Nougat 7.0 88.2 arm64 from the thread.

Reboot into recovery and "flash" all uninstall zip files to wipe all traces of files.

Install Magisk zip

Install Xposed zip

(optional but recommended) install the DOTS kernel v1.1 from the V20 Development Section

Wipe cache/dalvik and reboot, wait about 20 mins or so for device to go past LG screen. You're good to go if you make it to the "Android is Upgrading" screen.

Hope this helps :)

restore backup

did anyone had success restoring any backup done prior to root and then restoring it after root?

also do you loose any apps/data when using kdzwriter to install latest version?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daved+:
I updated my phone with kdzwriter and everything was there after a reboot.

But then I updated magisk v14 (which doesn't load any modules for me) to v14.5 and it worked just fine for a couple hours with modules working but then I got stuck in a kernel panic and lost everything
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redline:
Exactly why I haven't gone past Magisk 14. In the 14.2beta the Dev changed something with handling LG phones (you can read this in the Magisk Beta thread changelogs) and I got a kernel panic with it. Still using 14 just fine so I see no reason to update, or at least try to AFTER a full TWRP backup so I don't lose anything.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Don't know about the first part of your question. But KDZ Writer writes to /system, /cust and /firmware by default. So if you have any apps installed as system apps, they may get overwritten (I have this problem with Google Phone for example, I have to re-flash it in TWRP then update it whenever I use KDZ Writer)

i'm on magisk 14.0 too. have you moved from manager v5.4.0 to v5.4.3? does SafetyNet check passed?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redline:
Using Magisk Manager v5.4.2 as 5.4.3 gave me a ton of force stops and made the app unusable. Had to flash the uninstall zip and go through the whole 20 min bootup process again and cbf. SafetyNet check will never fully pass with Magisk/Xposed because of how they both modify things to work (trust me if you knew how exactly Magisk worked, it's some black magic type stuff). I get a pass on the ctsProfile: true test and a fail on the basicIntegrity: false test (this one is the main one Magisk uses to work, it's related to memory management). I managed to pass the first Safetynet test by installing the No Device Check Xposed Module.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hotcell:
i had similar problems with not passing safetynet checks when tried 5.4.1 and 5.4.2. never tried 5.4.3. so i'm as well on mm 5.4.0, without Xposed it passes tests.

two questions:

1. how did you get rid of mm update Yes/No dialogs on every mm 5.4.0 run?

2. what Xposed modules you find essential or useful to bother with the framefork at all?

I uninstalled super su and es file explorer, then I going to twrp wipe system and select ext4 file system

Thank you for this great work. Really appreciate it; beer on the way as soon as I try this...

Just bought the LG V20 H990, it's on the way ( I live in Holland but have to order it from Hong Kong via eGlobal Central, since LG

stupidly

decided to make it NOT available for purchase in Europe ) .

Indeed I would need to unlock the bootloader, so I can root the device, but I hate the warning triangle ( about software cannot be checked for corruption) , everytime I boot my phone.

Is there a workaround to avoid or hide that irritating warning? My guess it's an image hidden somewhere; would it be possible to extract it , and replace it ( with a black image for instance or with another custom image) ?

Thanks again for your work and time

Cheers
