alright finally done, setting up root on verizon is a pain in the a**. You gotta read this post if you are trying this and having issues with rooting the vs995 firmwire https://xdaforums.com/v20/developme...bootloader-t3519410/post73073623#post73073623

now i was having battery drain and data dropping issues on the zv3 sprint stock rom( i'm using GSM lte) so i thought updating to zv7 might have improvements in battery and modem reception while retaining root.But for now, i've just ended up running the vs995 firmwire and flashed the sprint zv5 modem and now i can make calls,msg and have lte on verizon fw.I will see how battery is though but sprint rom was really pissing me off barely had anything on it and wouldn't even get 3 hours of sot.It kept draining while idle faster then if i was actually using it.

BTW i also noticed after flashing vs995 with lgup the phone so stupid smooth and fast but after flashing the us996 bootloader and applying twrp the vs995 became sluggish too.so its not the rom but rooting or applying the us996 modified bootloader seems to slow things down.

I get an error when I try to install : "This package is for elsa,997" devices, this is a "us996". Does that mean that flashing this 997 firmware didn't work? or is this a problem with the ROM?

Hi runningnak3d,

My phone is currently on ZVA and ARB=1.

Is there any possibility that I can root the phone?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sin4life:
So I did everything starting on a zv7 build, and I have classic ROM 1.1 with magisk on. My problem now is whenever I connect to the phone via adb, 'adb devices' lists it as 'ls996' followed by a bunch of other characters. I'm concerned because I've been noticing my phone battery running hotter.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] toastyp:
This is caused by the eng aboot that has been flashed onto the device following the root procedure. It was pulled from a prototype/experimental us996 and so it reports the device as us996 followed by a bunch of random numbers and letters. That is totally normal
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wren2k:
Ok so i'm having issues getting my phone to be recognized by LGUP LG V20 LS997 ZV7. I have downloaded multiple versions, including the version from this thread, uninstalled, reinstalled, tried several recommended drivers, I did uninstall and reinstall between drivers. I have tried different USB ports, 2.0 and 3.0, I have tried all the USB Ports on 3 computers. ADB works fine on the phone no matter the USB Port, or computer and with nearly all the driver sources I've tried. I even installed the LG Bridge suite
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phoenix591:
Are you booting into download mode/firmware update? Power off then hold vol up while plugging the off phone into the pc
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wren2k:
Ok thank you very much Phoenix591. That was the step I was missing. Now that I have it rooted I have another question. I'm unable to get LTE to work. 3g is fine and I can send and receive text messages and make calls but it won't connect to LTE. I have updated the profile and PRL and rebooted and toggled airplane mode. I did flash the zv7 firmware file. I have also tried flashing the zv7 stock full zip in the dirty santa thread. Any ideas?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wren2k:
Ok a bit more information. I have now flashed 3 roms, the stock rom, Lineage 15.1, and Classic Rom. None of them worked on LTE but all connected to 3g without issue. I also flashed the zv5 modem to no avail. I don't know if there is some other partition which is flashed either in LGUP or through TWRP which controls the LTE and needs something specific flashed to it
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cityneversleepz:
Maybe you can find a LTE setting using shortcut Master lite.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wren2k:
I can definitely look, but I feel like if it was a setting flashing 3 ROMs would have fixed it
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wren2k:
I know I probably should have thought of this myself, but could you please update the OP with a note to back up the phone prior to flashing via LGUP. I did not back up and am now looking for modemst1 and st2 to flash in order to restore my LTE data.

Thanks

Can't you cross flash to the US998 KDZ? On the V30+ we cross flash from Oreo to US998 Nougat and then "upgrade" to Oreo because the LS998 doesn't have fastboot commands or something in order to unlock the bootloader and then flash TWRP....but we would need to activate the phone before attempting this...and i see you guy's are doing a similar method but with the Verizon KDZ...i'm getting the V20 tomorrow because i Bricked my v30+, so any help with root would be be great.

Found a few LS997 phones with firmware ZV7 to buy

I searched for an LS997 phone with firmware ZV7 or below, found few:

LG V20 (Sprint) [LS997], 64GB, Gray in Good condition for $140 on Swappa. Seller wrote "The software version in 8/10 condition phone is LS997ZV6". It's a batch of 2 phones, so confirm with them whether one or both.

LG V20 - 64GB - Titan (Sprint) Smartphone on eBay. Seller wrote "I do have software version ZV7", I bought one from him. Message the seller, maybe he has more phones with ZV7 in that batch (he has 4 left in the batch).
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] C D:
Thanks for the tip. I asked the eBay seller, and he still had phones with ZV7 and ZV9 (did not specify how many of each out of the 4 left). So I bought one with ZV7 from him and received it today.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
So I have a ZV7 otw...root time baby :) I was wondering what Vs995 kdz I use since posted link don't work? Also is it ok to root with Magisk via this method?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] C D:
This is the updated link to the KDZ: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/4889/VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz

As stated in the OP, it's a good idea to dump the whole phone via LG UP (total size will be >50 GB, so an external drive would be a good place for it to go) before doing anything else. After flashing the KDZ, the phone may ask for a password when booting up. If that happens, just do a factory reset.

I also recommend looking at the noob-friendly DirtySanta root method tutorial alongside the original guide linked in the OP.

In my case, only SuperSU worked in the initial root step as Magisk gave a modified boot image error when flashing in TWRP. You can flash Magisk just fine afterwards, though, when you install another ROM, so it's not a big deal.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Thank you for info. I will tread carefully. Dump for zv7 I am guessing. Also thank you for tip on magisk and for the ZV7 hookup.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] C D:
This phone has a bit of an unusual button combination to get into recovery when it's powered off. After flashing the Verizon KDZ file, all you had to do is hold down both the volume down and power button until you get the white screen asking for a reset. But after unlocking the bootloader, it is a bit different: You hold down both volume down + power buttons, and when the LG logo shows up (instead of the warning message), you briefly release the power button for a second, then hold it down again while still keeping volume down pressed. Then the white screen should show up, and you pick "yes" twice to enter recovery mode.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
You saved my life...thank you. All rooted on stock.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] C D:
You're welcome. Did you find a suitable Sprint ROM to get started? You'll need to activate your phone on a Sprint ROM before moving on to a different ROM such as the Verizon-based hybrid Alpha Omega ROM or any LineageOS-based ROM. I went with the discontinued Classic ROM to activate mine. By the way, it does not have the static issue (which can go away if you cover the top of your phone around the status bar/second screen area with your hand) and is an all-around solid Sprint-based ROM despite being old. I'm still using this ROM on my main phone with a few tweaks while testing Alpha Omega on my backup LS997.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Not a yet for rom. I am running stock zv3 atm with superuser. Just downloaded the classic you mentioned. Had to get the magisk one. I did not install magisk yet if that matters. Will mess with more tomorrow asp. Did originally check that AO with the scare of Verizon always showing. Was interested in it with Cam mods and ect, but bugs r questionable. Static was an ugly ass sight... Talk about near heart attack with unknown control lol

hi sir. im working on my ls997zv7. uninstalled all drivers then reinstalled them: LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0, LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3 then copied patched lgup to directory. flashed VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz using partition dl selected all partitions. after its done, it reboots back to firmware update mode. i don't know where i am wrong. i have followed this thread carefully before trying this one. av repeated reading the errors encountered by driracho and mysticblaze347. i have carefully selected the files to download. this time i am not using uppercut since it works just the patched lgup.

i could go into recovery mode but it would just reboot back to firmware update mode. i tried factory reset, verizon boot shows up asking for the secure startup pin which i wronged but wont get through.

additionally, phone boots without battery as long as it is plugged in. av read bunch of stuffs on stuck on firmware update mode. nothing works on mine. this must be a hardware issue. can remember phone's battery was like sweating last april dont know where it got it. it was functioning but charging time is terribly slow especially from less than 10%. i should have had this fixed prior tinkering with it. tsk.
