I am stuck in step 1, just starting the LGUP software.

I am getting the following error:

"DLL for H91520a is not istalled properly.

Please install a DLL packed (*.msi) for the model".

Here are the steps I took so far:

I downloaded LGUP from here:

https://www.mylgphones.com/download-lg-up-software

and chose version "1.14 not patched."

After installing this software I then opened the ZIP file provided in this thread ("LGUP_V20dll_Patched.zip") and extracted the LGUP.exe file to overwrite the LGUP file in the program files area, and extracted the lgup_common.dll file to its proper location to overwrite the one which was there.

What am I doing wrong?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] y.farkash:
Well, must have been something with my windows setup, as it worked fine on another computer.

How do I restore from backup with LGUP?

Hi,

I followed the steps and after flashing the US996 kdz and the phone rebooted it asked for secure boot password, which for some reason my password was not recognized, so I was unable to boot.

I did do a phone backup before starting and wanted to just use LGUP to restore my previous state, but there is no way to restore with LGUP. The folder where the backup goes to does not have a KDZ/TOT/BIN files, it has lots of small files with no suffix.

How do I restore my backup with LGUP?

BTW, the link in post #2 for the optional H915 KDZ 10e doesn't work. Where can I get it?

I found in in this link: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/4578/H91510e_00_VTR_CA_OP_1205.kdz but it is for VTR (which I assume is Videotron) and I an with Freedom.

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

OK, more trouble for me...

:(

After I couldn't boot into the secureboot in the flashed US996 KDZ I tried using LGUP to flash back to H915. Originally I used the 10q_bell version and I got into a bootloop showing a very short android with the red triangle before the screen goes off and trying to boot again. I started to sweat a bit...

I then tried to find an earlier KDZ and downloaded the 10e_vtr, flashed it using LGUP and I am getting the same bootloop.

Am I completely screwed?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vortell:
I'm not sure but what happened but you probably could have just done a factory reset and used the phone. Now I'm not sure, does lgup see the phone? If so use patched lgup and partial download to install us996 again. Then boot into twrp and format all then install alpha Omega for us996. I literally have a h915 I did this on.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] y.farkash:
Thanks for the fast reply.

LGUP does recognize the phone.

1) What is a partial download and how do I do it?

2) How do I get into TWRP on the V20?

3) Which version of Alpha-Omega should I use? Universal, Universal-official, or Unlocked-official? I am with Freedom Mobile.

Thank you so much! I really like this phone and all I want is to be able to root and ad-block... Even the official rom is not awful (other than the bundled apps).

I never had a phone which was so complicated to root and I feel a bit out of my league. The help from the users in this forum is very much appreciated!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vortell:
1) search for patched lgup lg v20 and read in that thread.

2) search how to go into recovery and watch how to do it on the LG v20 on YouTube it's a bit odd. It even asks you to erase the phone twice before it will let you in. ( Make sure u have twrp it it will erase your data)

3) read about them, if you cross flashed it to us996 use that or else use what ever you used. Alpha Omega has both Oreo and nougat builds. Other then that any dirty Santa Build that matches what firmware you flashed your phone to. Most likey dirty Santa us996.

i have a refurb LG H910 with H910PR Claro firmware..... if i flash H915 on my device can i use this method to root my device?

hi i just tried this on my h915a converted to us99610f

stuck at Im stuck at type: applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta

once i apply the patch the backup dosent seem to start on the logcat and never completes step 1

actually it does complete the step but there is no visual. when running script 2 you can confirm that the previous step worked by if you are able to get the abootbackup and bootbackup files.

step 3 went ok but when in fast boot my device was not recognized ( waiting on devices)

had to install ones found here

also the terminal app on the phone had to be jackpal.androidterminal

Thank you dksoni411 for putting up so detailed instructions. I have followed them and converted my H915 to US996. But I couldn't enter into TWRP as it is not rooted (?). I did the conversion 2 times but still the same. Can anybody help and let me know what steps I might miss? Currently, I couldn't boot into TWRP, and copy "US996_deODEXd_Stock_NRD90M.zip" in my phone.

Because link of US996 kdz in 2nd post is not working, I downloaded same name file from another link. Could this be the problem? If yes, can anybody please direct me to the right link? Thank you in advance.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahcure:
When you follow the all in one root process the you have to make sure the twrp.img is in that folder. Its step 3 of the process if im not mistaken
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] David X:
Thank you for your attention. I have read instructions several times, but haven't seen any steps mentioning to include TWRP. I must miss it. Can you please elaborate or show me the instruction to do that? I just flashed 'US996 10f KDZ' two times but still not able to go to TWRP.

Update: after re do it several times, finally it is done. Thank you all for the advices.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] merrickville:
Hope someone is still monitoring this thread.

So, I just flashed US99610f_00_1205.kdz.

After successful flash, it boots up to "Secure start-up" Enter password to unlock?

Is this password known?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahcure:
Go in twrp and factory reset
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] merrickville:
Well well! (said while kicking myself in the butt) :mad:

Thanks for the advice that

I missed

while I continued to use LGUP to get my way with my new LG V20.

Phone: New, unopened, stock Nougat in its original box, LG V20 H910 (AT&T branded)

Following this procedure here, I flashed H91510e_00_VTR_CA_OP_1205.kdz, but it didn't work, it just reboot, and go to the password screen.

So, instead I tried the Canadian Bell Mobility F/W: H91510q_00_BELL_CA_OP_0526.kdz

This worked!

, my phone booted up to the Setup!

During setup, I noted there was no 3g/4g, and that a warning popped up right after boot finished about un matched something, can't remember what exactly it was now. Internet search says mismatched modem?

LGUP reports my phone is H915. So, I decided to convert to US Mobile using this process here in order to root and have a choice of modems.

After this US996 process, I'm stuck in 'no command' and reclining android robot. This flashes so quickly, I needed to stare to try and read the 'no command' message. I was unable to flip it into recovery from this state.

LGUP reports my phone is a US996. And this is where I'm stuck. I tried flashing the H915 BLM back, the process completes, phone reboots, 'no command' and LGUP still reports it as US996,

not H915

. So it seems I'm stuck at US996!

I can only boot phone into Firmware update (download), I tried every key sequence to try and flip that into 'recovery' mode as search results said to try, no joy.

At this point, from my understanding my phone is most likely not bricked, since I can boot into Firmware Update screen.

So many searches say that the 'no command' is EASY PEASY to fix.

Not really lol

So, anyone come across my issues?

Hey i'm on h915 oreo and i want to root but i can't roll back to nougat. Can u help me with this issue? I want to change my software variant bcz this h915 is so laggy and it's corrupted software. Can i directly flash us996 nougat in my h915 oreo with patched lgup?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] natetokes:
Thank you [MENTION=5594713]dksoni411[/MENTION] for this write up. Had a Canadian h91520a on freedom. Flashed the us99610f kdz and followed the guide. Had to flash the other boot image and every time I boot system or recovery it says my phone is corrupt and will shut off soon but it boots fine like 30 seconds after. Flashed los 15.1 then dirty flashed to los 16 and now I couldn't be happier. Thank you very much!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
Glad to hear these guides still comes handy. ;)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
It's been long time I ever touched a Lg phone. However, if anti roll back is same you can use patched lgup to directly flash kdz of us996 on h915
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] natetokes:
I did, works fine. Changing variant alone won't really help you. Lg software is still lg software. If you flash a lineage based ROM, things are much smoother
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] trouble.:
I will flash lineage but i don't have root yet. Once i change to us996, i'll root and install a custom rom as soon as possible
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] natetokes:
I never rooted mine initially. Flashed kdz>dirtysanta to get fastboot and twrp>install lineage. I did end up rooting lineage with magisk the next day tho. Good luck with everything, if you follow the guide to the letter I can confirm it works just great :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] trouble.:
So, I'm on h915 and can't access bootloader. I'll flash a us996 in my h915 and then i'll use the dirtsanta to unlock bootloader. So then i'll flash a custom rom.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] merrickville:
Hell yes they are handy!

I just received a brand new, factory sealed, LG Flag Ship phone (well 2017) V20 H910 AT&T

After many searches, I'm still unable to figure out if the H910 (AT&T US) & H915 (Canadian) are the same hardware? Everywhere I searched they always label it as the V20 H910 / H915.

The reason I'm searching is because you have two methods one for H910 & H915.

I am using H915 kdz oreo (stock, no root, no TWRP) on my H910 hardware, but the signal is a little weak.

In this thread you have the H915 converted to US996, then root, then offer the H915 modem? I understand we can't root the H915 due to lack of signal.

What I really would like to know is if the H910 & H915 is the same hardware?

Which of your guides would I follow? (My phone is branded AT&T)

H910 -> H915 here

H915 -> US996 (this thread)

Slightly confused :) I just want to have good signals in Canada.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] clarkn0va:
As of today, you don't need the 4.0 Root package, just the 6.0 one, the link worked for me. The patched LGUP link works. The US996 10f link from the second post doesn't work, but you can find the correct link on the other thread with the Root package. The link to the stock h915 roms doesn't work, but they are here. And finally, the link to the deODEXEd rom doesn't work, but there are alternatives such as Lineage OS. Somebody on reddit recommended SuperV20, but I'm not familiar.

Got my F800K rooted by a lot of trials and work. It is running A8 stock with ezV2020 kernel 1.0.... Well not without some issues, but it is running now, and works. Some overall stability issues, although it seems to be few.

Would be nice to try lineage but, I don't know, it takes forever to backup and restore and so forth. And already used so much time on it. There is an official lineage A10 version, although have not succeed in installing it.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xanvast:
Is it the same with the h910 ? I got a brand new one recently, I followed the unlocking bootloader procedure/rooting and installed LineageOS 18.1. I have only SMS working, no mobile data at all, and it is not tied to APN configuration. There were no warnings about this...

If the h910 is affected the same were other solutions found since then ? Something easier than changing firmware and redoing everything from scratch would be nice. Thank you.

Edit : I have tried flashing US99610f and it would always reboot within 1 minute making it non viable as a solution to get mobile data. The H915 works though... Any suggestions if I end up with no mobile network after rooting ?

Step 1: When you get the OTA update notification, do not download the update. Also, and do not reboot your phone.

Step 2: Setup ADB and Fastboot environment on your PC and enable USB debugging on your Android device. (settings>development>enable USB debugging)

Step 3: Now plug in your device to the PC using a USB cable.

Step 4: Now open the command prompt or terminal by holding the shift key on your PC and press the right mouse button. Alternatively, go to start>accessories>cmd or type cmd in the search under the start menu.

Step 5: Now issue the following command in the cmd window:

adb logcat > log.txt

Step 6: Once done, it should display a whole bunch of text below the command. It may take some time to get the full logcat as it will be a long text. If it takes long, you can disconnect the device from PC.

Step 7: Once you get the full logcat ,open it with a text editor like Notepad++.

Step 8: You will certainly find the OTA URL for your device. Check out the image below to see how the URL looks like.

Step 9: Now that you have the OTA URL, you can start with downloading the OTA.

Step 10: Now you can reboot your phone and install the update.

I am posting this guide here because many of you are trying to Update Your Device to Oreo but cant get the Firmware as its a phased rollout.

If any one of you have obtained the update please post the log here so that we can get the OTA url.

The OTA size seems to be around 2.2GB I think its a full package if atleast one can capture the url we can get hands on Full package so that others can use it to debrick their device.

Before providing the log/url please specify your region and previous build number (if possible screenshots).

Introduction

Since this project (Android_IMG_REPACK_TOOLS) is dead for 2 years now (last supported version is Marshmallow). I decided to do a new rom repacker that supports up to Android Oreo.

Supported OS

Linux

Supported Android Versions

android-5 (Lollipop)

android-wear-5

android-6 (Marshmallow)

android-7 (Nougat)

android-8 (Oreo)

android-9 (Pie) beta

Binaries included

append2simg

img2simg

simg2img

simg2simg

make_ext4fs (Google removed it for android 9. I will add a replacement in the future)

mkbootfs

mkbootimg

unpackbootimg (For android-wear-5, you can use the one in android-5)

sefcontext_compile

sefcontext_decompile

Usage

Check this post out for some use case. You'll need img2simg and make_ext4fs from my post.

sefcontext_compile and sefcontext_decompile:

ROMS since Android 7 (Nougat) come with a binary file_contexts but you need a text based file_contexts when you need to repackage the ROM. You'll need it for make_ext4fs. sefcontext_decompile converts the binary file_contexts into text version.

# file_contexts (human readable text file) -> file_contexts.bin (PCRE formatted binary file)
sefcontext_compile [-o <output_file>] <text_file>

# file_contexts.bin (PCRE formatted binary file) -> file_contexts (human readable text file)
sefcontext_decompile [-o <output_file>] <binary_file>

Source code

I believe this question is better suited in this thread. You'll need system.transfer.list in sdat2img.py which is provided over there. I haven't worked on a ROM that doesn't have system.transfer.list. Isn't system.transfer.list required for flashing the ROM?

Btw you need to convert file_context.bin to text format. There are a couple of closed source solutions here on xda. I am working on an open source version in my free time.

You can find answers to a lot of the questions you might have in the old project.
