FAQ:

Q1: If I revert to stock will AT&T know that I rooted my phone?

A1: Nope. Unlike Samsung phones (at least older ones, I don't know about current ones), there is no KNOX style indicator that shows how many times a phone has been flashed.

Q2: Do we have to flash ALL of the H915 firmware, that seems like a waste?

A2: You would be correct -- it is a waste, but I am going to need more time to test and make sure that only the XBL and ABOOT need to be flashed AND that doesn't break trusted boot. As I have stated, the H910 and H915 have the same PBL. I ran my phone with the H915 XBL, with the rest of the firmware being H910 and I don't have a brick -- but I did it manually and not though LG UP. When I feel like wiping my phone again, I will test this.

Q3: Can any other variants be rooted with this method?

A3: Maybe. I was able to get the patched LG UP to recognize a KDZ that I modified, and it let me flash. My next step is to completely roll my own KDZ. If that works, then ANY LG phone will be rootable simply by flashing a KDZ.

A3: YES! It turns out that the LS997 is able to use the VS995 KDZ. I have written up a post on the procedure.

Q4: If that works, and you can roll your own KDZ, can you get around ARB?

A4: I believe so. Now that we have the ability to take a dump of an unmodified / stock / out of the box phone, we could dump the XBL (this is what updates ARB), and package that up with an older ABOOT. I am mainly talking about H918s here, since all other V20s work with the engineering ABOOT. But it will also apply if AT&T ever increments ARB on the H910.

Nope, there is no getting around ARB. Once a particular ARB version is blown into your QFPROM, you *MUST* use a boot stack that has that ARB version, and that is basically the entire firmware except for boot, recovery, laf and system.

Q5: Will the AM&FM Radio still work

A5: Yes.

Q6: Why are my boot times longer after rooting?

A6: In order to unlock the bootloader, an engineering aboot had to be used, and a lot of additional data is generated on boot.

Q7: Can I return my phone to stock?

A7: This was addressed in the post above, but I will address it again. Yes. For the link, see the post above.

I am Definitely missing something here, I cant for the life of me get the h915 firmware to flash using lgup

It just states kdz file is invalid.

H910 -> h915

Confirmed im attempting to use the patched lgup as well
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
It is definitely not reading the modified model file. You must have had another version installed. You need to uninstall / delete any other model dll files you have installed.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ps3hacker3:
It would appear that i dont have lgup installed correctly (not at all in this case) to begin with

Let me do a little digging to figure out lgup.

Not entirely sure how i did a full dump with it not even installed but alright

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

Just to confirm for 100% sure that we are supposed to be ticking the upgrade option and not the option for partition dl that is mentioned in the patched lgup thread correct?

I simply cannot get passed invalid kdz and have confirmed numerous times now that there is only one dll in the lgup folder

Path to the lgup exe that i have replaced with the above patched executable from the other thread

C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\LGUP.exe

Path to the dll folder that i placed there as well along with a LOG folder directly above it

C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common\LGUP_common.dll

The log folder consists of a folder by this name here LG-H910 (my current device)

There is nothing else in the model folder at all except for the two mentions above

If lgup is somehow reading from another directory outside of where i launched the exe, I have zero clue as i have searched lgup to no availability.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
And that is why I wanted to write this up as I did it :)

You are correct. Choose partition dl, and make sure all partitions are selected.

After that, the rest of the instructions should be correct.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ps3hacker3:
I have ran out of time tonight to muck around with it but have definitely rendered it bootlooping currently (stuck at second lg logo is more accurate)

Not entirely sure what i did wrong, was able to get into twrp a couple times as well trying to continue the steps
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Since you have TWRP installed, you can fix whatever is wrong.

Unfortunately, whatever you did wrong was within the DirtySanta root procedure, and that would have gone wrong even with H910 firmware with the Dec. 2016 sec patch.

You are going to have to provide some more details.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ps3hacker3:
It booted successfully after the h915 flash and I made it all the way up to step three before it was bricked under the dirty Santa method and have been attempting to recover it since.. I can't get lg up to recognize it any longer as of now

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Scratch that somehow i got it booted, I was stuffing around it twrp and flashed the natf with a factory reset and it is now static booting which I'll have to fix once I grab that kernel
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jreed3786:
GOD BLESS YOU! I needed this today! Will try later!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ps3hacker3:
Passing along an update of progress, currently still having trouble with this.

Current status is it is static screen booting currently.

I also have no signal and your steps for flashing the modem work just fine to what it appears to from the commands lines (everything goes through correctly) but upon booting shortly after i am greeted with a blue screen saying subsystem crash : modem

Yes i did use the dumps from the very first step and they appeared to have flashed back correctly.

Lgup will not recognize the phone from everything i have tried to recover it at this time either

Edit: when it comes to the step where you have to type this here below

dd if=modem_COM5 of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem

Is the portion from this line where it states "by-name" correct?

Com5 is correct as that is the name of my file when i pulled it from the device
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jreed3786:
Stuck on step 5 of Dirty Santa on an H910. Went back and redid steps 3-5 and it's still just sitting on LG logo. Any ideas???? I know I followed the instructions verbatim!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daw41:
Have you tried this
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ps3hacker3:
Is there a method to getting back to full stock 10m on the h910 for now until i can get this sorted out.

Ive tried flashing the backed up modem i have multiple times at this point and cannot get signal back after following this method here to the letter.

I do have access to twrp but cannot get access to lgup at all no matter whether it is in fastboot mode/recovery/usb debugging/etc etc etc
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jreed3786:
SURE have. This is for the Verizon variant. I have AT&T. No such path found. I too, just need the modem to work. I tried a few workarounds...

SO, either a fix for the bootloop on the LG logo, or a flashable H910 modem so I can use my phone.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry SQ:
Sir, i accdientally KDZ my H910 to F800K. I managed to make the call, mess function again by flashing US996 modem file but now my phone can't connect to any mobile network when data switch on. I mean i can call and receive call from other people, send and receive mess too. Could you kindly teach me how to fix this???? I can KDZ to US996 rom but it end up in bootloop (i can get into the rom, but after a few second it will reboot itself). In US996 rom, my phone functioning normal, no problem at all, but the bootloop happen so, sir. Help me, please
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daw41:
So if you're at step 5 you should have TWRP manually reboot into TWRP and Flash a ROM like natf or weta should fix your issue
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jreed3786:
Yes sir...it should, but I still get error about modem, even when flashing WETA and rebooting. Any easier way to flash the H910 modem?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerry SQ:
Sir, i can make the phone call and mess work again but the mobile data i nowhere to be found. At least you can make phone call and send text. You can try by flashing US996 modem file, the signal will come back but without 4g,3g or whatsoever.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jreed3786:
There's no way to flash or find an H910 modem file? Why is this? Just wondering.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErXBout:
It simply depends on your needs. We do not know any of your preferences you expect from your android

I can only say that I am using DirtyUnicorns on Android 6.0.1

Works stable, got many things to customize and supports OTA Updates over their own service.

(There is a Nougat rom also avaliable through this but I want to stay at Marshmallow a bit)

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
I just recently did a full fastboot restore. In the past I've always used SuperSU, this time I went with Magisk. Glad I did because it's great. I love that you can fastboot boot TWRP and leave the system read-only and still flash Magisk. I have some Magisk questions that hopefully someone can clear up for me that Googling isn't making clear:

1: The option in Magisk's settings for Systemless Adblock Hosts - does enabling that work with the normal AdAway that you get from F-Droid? Or is that specifically for the Unified Ad Hosts module within Magisk?

2: Does using the normal AdAway break safety net & the ability to take an OTA down the road (if hosts & Magisk are removed)?

3: Does the Unified Ad Hosts module need to be used, or is the normal AdAway OK to use? Or is it that module intended to be used alongside AdAway?

4: I noticed a Greenify4Magisk module - does this module need to be installed in order to use Greenify? I'm used to systemless SuperSU which Greenify just worked. Looking for clarity on Greenify + Magisk.

5: Does using the Xposed Magisk Module allow for Gravity Box customization, that then can be reverted in order to take an OTA? Using the standard Xposed + Systemless SuperSU and removing it later would still leave traces behind that caused OTA's to fail, is the purpose of the dedicated Magisk Xposed modules to solve this issue?

6: (Not Magisk related): Does using a simple Substratum navbar theme (or any Substratum Legacy theme) & then removing it break OTA's? I like to change my navbar to the Pixel one, but still want to easily take the OTA when it arrives next century...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
I can answer a couple of these.

1) the add-on for adblocking in magisk is separate from adblock. You have to use a terminal app to update your HOSTS file.

4) Greenify works just fine without the module. To the best of my knowledge the module you are referring to is for using boost mode on Greenify, which basically allows apps you have hibernated with gcm functionality to still receive gcm push updates.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spencervb256:
I was under the impression after reading up on ad away that the systemless hosts toggle in magisk handles ad away as well, and is not just for the ad blocking module with terminal emulator.

Ad away is ok to use and the module I believe the module is not needed. Magisk systemless hosts is compatible with ad away
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dollarbr:
Yes it works, fully compatible, does not trigger SafetyNet, no need for Unified Ad Hosts module.

It does break, it edit hosts files directly in system folder, use it with Magisk and systemless hosts enabled for SafetyNet certification

Normal AdAway if you have "systemless hosts" activated in Magisk Manager

Not needed, it just enable the boost mode for Greenify without triggering SafetyNet

It does (my own experience), but IT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF DEDICATED MAGISK XPOSED TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE, but it solved for me. (of course you need android Marshmallow 6.x.x, Nougat 7.x.x does not have Xposed)

I'm not sure about this one '^^, but if it changes stuff in system folder will **** up the OTA.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] King_root:
Hi guys I really need some help. It's been quite a few days now since my Bluetooth isn't turning on. I've tried clearing cache n data for Bluetooth apps and services in application manager but still no luck. This is what happens when I try to turn on Bluetooth... (Check screenshot)

The switch just fades and Bluetooth doesn't really turn on at all. And after a while the switch turns off by itself. Please help.

I also tried flashing another kernel (from stock) but still no luck. I'm on OOS 4.1.7 with Blu spark r174.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] King_root:
It had stopped working since I was on stock OOS (non rooted) and then I rooted and installed Blu spark but still no luck.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] King_root:
I have tried clearing app cache and data of Bluetooth share app, reset network settings even tried factory reset, still no luck. OOS 4.1.7.

Someone please help.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] neinfricatu:
If it isn't working after factory reset, most probably it is a hardware problem..

Another issue that I've heard off is related to the encryption of the storage, but i don't think this is the case now
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] King_root:
But then the system acts weird about Bluetooth. When I try to turn it on (notice I do get an option to turn it on), the switch flips on the other side (switching ON) but fades n does nothing. And if I move out of settings and come back to Bluetooth section, it goes back to off. I kind of have a feeling it's a software problem n just needs some system modifications. But I really don't know, really need some expert opinions, please help guys.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
Just dirty flash your Rom and check if it works.

Unleashed by ONEPLUS 3T rooted
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
When folks say "factory reset" they most usually means just using the option "factory reset" in stock/custom recovery, or in phone Settings. All those do, is wipe user data. SO the problem will only be solved if some problem/incompatibility with user data was the culprit (does not actually "restore" any software/firmware).

I would suggest flashing the full 4.1.7 (or even early version) zip to restore to full stock, which I think is more what you meant.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] trentonite:
This has happened to me before after updating magisk and not re-flashing a kernel. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth weren't toggleable (if that's a word) and the phones battery was draining pretty aggressively. I'd follow the advice from others and do a reset, or flash a custom kernel over what you have.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RyanSe7en:
Which is the better version for Galaxy Note 8 when purchasing directly from Samsung.com.

Should I get the unlocked version or the T-Mobile version? Which version get the update more frequently and faster? I read from reddit forum once that if you purchase the T-mobile verion directly from Samsung, it will be locked to T-mobile. And there is no way to unlock through T-Mobile? Is it correct?

Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
You don't owe them any money on it, so they should be able to give you the code.

The big difference will be in loss of functionality.

Unlocked versions don't work with carrier specific features like WiFi calling and in some cases, tethering.

It's one of the reasons why I ordered the AT&T version instead of the unlocked version.

I actually use WiFi calling a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cherylbaker:
If you buy the carrier specific and get the unlock code do you still get the wifi calling and hotspot

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black96ss:
the unlocked variant will not have video calling for sure, and no carrier specific apps. It should still have wifi calling though. my unlocked s7 edge had wifi calling, just no video calling. keep in mind that you may be able to flash the t mobile firmware on the unlocked variant like in the past on the s7 and s8's. totally safe without tripping knox. now if you get the t mobile branded note 8, you be able to unlock it after 40 days. long as you don't owe a balance to t mobile.

I believe that there is a question whether the unlocked version has 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM technologies.

the 8s t-mobile had 4x4 mimo and 256 qam whereas the unlocked version of the 8s did not have those features

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] harveydent:
I got the Note8 from Samsung because of the Note 7 discount. Initially I was going to get an unlocked version as I'll be travelling internationally early next year. But I switched to the TMo version because that will ship Sept 11 while the unlocked version will ship Sept 21. No other reason.

Yes, I am that anxious to get it early.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mardukeme:
I'm thinking it will since Att, and Verizon are rolling out 4x4 mimo, and 256 qam.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Amd4life:
Doubt the T-Mobile version will ever be rooted, so that is something to take into account when considering the unlocked version vs TMobile.

Not sure I would want to pay $900 for a phone that I can't root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black96ss:
well I bought a T mobile variant from Samsung. T mobile rep told me today that they can unlock it as soon as I get it in. even if I owe Samsung money. long as you don't owe money to t mobile, they can unlock it. so my previous statement was false.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mdiaz33685:
My S8 Plus, I bought off eBay, the person bought it of Samsung.com

when I got it in June, the next day I went to a T-Mobile store and put insurance, and I tried to do the device unlock and it didn't work, went to my account to check the phone status and the imei didn't show, and till today it doesn't show but it has been added, and it doesn't unlock status either my account,

but I called T-Mobile to add the imei and after trying to convince the rep to please put the order in, she said call Samsung, I said politely please I don't want to go through a runaround, they will tell me to call u, when u get the phone they release it with the unlock code, happened to me with HTC years ago, I said speak with ur manager, she put me on hold for a while, and they put my request in to add the imei, I waited 3 days then called back cause I didn't see the imei added, but T-Mobile said the order went through and they can see my imei, and trying to convince another newbie rep, he passed me to his supervisor to my surprise without getting disconnected, the supervisor gave me his word he would take care of it and that I wouldn't have to call back, I tried the device unlock 2 times a day.. the 3rd day it unlocked.. took about 6 to 7 days.. this phone unlock was the fastest ever for me in T-Mobile..
