Been playing with it. Overall, I like the presentation of Opera Mini (haven't tried Opera Mobile 9 beta) better. It's got smoother animation/pagenav.

I do still use Skyfire, but only for a few things (such as forums like this). Hulu comes in nicely. The video is a little lagged (to be expected on the Kaiser), but overall, it works.

I'm thinking Opera Mobile w/Flash support will own this though. Unless they can fix the rendering and refocusing annoyances. It's also slow to respond sometimes (page clicks/etc).

Well of course as soon as i ***** i get my account info email. hahah

Its not a bad service at all, havent tried opera 9.5 yet, however besides the slight lag time when zooming in, my skyfire is working great. Being able to play myspace/ any video music i come upon is a great improvement. IF i can admin my e107 site with this its worth gold.

anyway thought i should re-post, they did get back to me just took a looong time. :)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] TraderJack:
I'm expecting delivery of 2 V20s in the next couple of days. These are "refurbs" of the VS995 variety. These are advertised from the seller as "unlocked." I will be using these on Verizon (or MVNO).

I did some basic research before I bought and I was pretty sure I saw info on rooting this model and the ability to do custom ROMS on an unlocked, but I am a little concerned.

I have 3 main questions:

1) I see there is both a VS995 and a US996. I'm having a hard time finding info on the differences spelled out exactly - but it appears that the VS995 is locked to verizon and US996 is unlocked for all GSM. Is this correct? If so, wouldn't an "unlocked" VS995 be equivalent to a US996? If not, what would be different.

2) I want to do a comprehensive check on these phones before I start tinkering to make sure everything works. My last HTC phone had a hidden diagnostics menu which would test everything (battery, compass, gps, sensors, buttons, etc, etc...). I would like to know if the V20 has something similar? Also I want to know what the "problem areas" of V20s are. Things I should check out to make sure they aren't wonky.

3) I need to know if I can root this phone. I've seen a couple methods but I'm not sure now if they apply to my model and if they still work and/or if they are safe (relatively speaking). I definitely need root and would also like to load custom recovery so I can do alternate ROMS, thought I probably will run with stock for a while to get used to it. I would like to upgrade to latest official ROM (for the newest features), but don't want to do any upgrades if it will ruin my chances to root/unlock/etc. What do I need to check on the phone and what is the method I should follow (links are fine for this).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] TraderJack:
thanks.

Been doing research for the past hour or two and am getting a little bit of a better handle. I've seen the downgrade tutorial and looks solid.

I'm not worried about "convoluted" and the phone seems pretty brick proof so I'm good there.

Just to confirm - if I want root I need to go no later than 13A firmware? My understanding is "firmware" in context of this phone is ROM+Kernel rolled into one.

So if I want root, I can't be on the latest stock ROM (18A), right? Looks like features are all the same - although I do like having the latest security updates, but I guess I will need to forgo those for root?

One other thing I'm looking at is that I prefer to root with Magisk. I've seen a couple threads dealing with this and they recommend to use the "reStock" kernel. My understanding is that you would flash the "reStock" after reverting to the 13A firmware. What I'm trying to understand is if the kernel can be separated from the ROM, could one not flash 18A and then the reStock kernel (which is based on 10b)?

Also, still really interested in the answer to my 2nd question in OP regarding accessing diagnostics for the phone and any problem hardware/screen/etc issues to look out for before I accept this "refurb" as golden.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Buzzy42:
Yeah, the phone is mostly brickproof and most issues you run into can be solved. If all else fails, just re-roll it back to 12Ain download mode (pull battery, hold down volume, plug in USB cord which will make the phone boot into download mode) and start over. I've seen very little signs of anyone TRULY bricking a V20 who wasn't really trying. (I.e., doing major hacking on it or totally throwing caution to the wind and flashing something they shouldn't have flashed)

You have to downgrade to 12A or 13A to root the phone and get TWRP properly installed the first time, but then you can flash any ROM/recovery you want, so you don't need to worry as much about security patches (just find a ROM that's as up to date as possible). There was AlphaRom up to 1AA which works great (and what both of my V20s are on), Super V20 is being updated but apparently has known issues on the VS995 that the developer has issued a patch for... you might want to skim the various ROM threads to know what works for you. My V20s are both using Magisk.

You can flash kernels and ROMs separately. Some ROMs have a kernel baked in-- I usually boot them once or twice and then re-flash the kernel if I want to. Some ROMs need a kernel flashed separately during the install process. So yeah, you could install an 18A based ROM and then the reStock kernel. (some ROM/kernel combinations work better than others, but you'll have to figure out what you want as some kernels do more than others-- specifically look for KCAL color adjustments, as you can slightly tweak the colors on the screen to help with the screen retention issue the phone has)

The kernel versions and ROM versions are different. I don't fully understand it myself either but AFAIK kernels based on 10b are the latest for the VS995. ROMs based on 1BA would be the latest (they're using hex numbers, so releases go 11A, 12A, 13A.... up to 1AA, 1BA). Some variations of the V20 seem to have more versions of the kernels than the 995 does.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] TraderJack:
Thanks. I'm wanting to run stock for a while (with Root though) so I can get a feel for how everything is "supposed" to work.

I'm not sure if I will find benefit in the "Second screen", but if I do I would like to find a ROM that supports it.

I've been running latest LineageOS on my HTC M8 for a while now and wouldn't mind sticking with it. However I would like to find some ROMS that are still being actively developed. Honestly I plan to have this phone for at least 2 years so the most up to date stuff I can find now will hopefully future proof me a little from that angle.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Buzzy42:
Yeah, totally understand not wanting to jump in to custom ROMs right away, especially if you're testing a refurbed phone. Flashable truly stock ROMs have been a weakness of the V20, but I think a version of 17A was floating around if you want something a bit newer than the 12A/13A that are rootable. Someone else might be able to help with that. Sadly there isn't a lot of development-- there have been big bursts of activity, then a lot of silence-- which mostly mirrors LG's seeming abandonment of the phone. You should still be able to flash other kernels (restock, mk2000, etc) over whichever rom you run, though. Be careful not to take any official OTA updates because the rooting process installs a debug-bootloader (someone got a hold of an engineering sample of the phone and dumped that phone's bootloader which is what allowed us all to get rooted with an unlocked bootloader) that gets wiped out and leaves the phone in a weird state.

The second screen is really useful once you look at it as a very powerful LED notification light. It takes a while to get used to but I don't know if would want to use a phone without it (or some sort of always-on feature) now. Unfortunately the Lineage ROMs lose a lot of the cooler functionality of this phone due to it having some many weird non-standard functions, but for some people that's not as big of a deal as staying current, so it's whatever your priority is. I am really hoping once the phone gets Oreo (which seems to be "real soon now"..) that we'll still be able to upgrade to it and use that as a base for a while, but keep root/etc..
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] TraderJack:
Is there a special process to use Magisk instead of SuperSU? My search found some convoluted answers which "required" the reStock kernel to get it working.

I don't know if Magisk has been updated to make it easier...but is there any instructions/link you can forward on how to get rooted with Magisk after I do the 13A downgrade?

Also, it would appear that everything up to 1BA does *not* have anti rollback enabled (ARB=0). Is this correct?

I was told on reddit that you can only root firmware where ARB=0, but clearly this is not the case if you can't root anything past 13A.

Do you have any idea what specifically is the block as to why we can't root past 13A?

thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Buzzy42:
I'm trying to remember what I did for Magisk. There wasn't anything particularly special. That said, I switched to Magisk when I re-flashed the phone (so I flashed the rom/kernel/Magisk together, in that order I think), I didn't try to just swap between SuperSU and Magisk on a running ROM. Once you get TWRP going you *should* be ok to just remove SuperSU and then reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk. I am on the mk2000 kernel with Magisk so you definitely don't need to be on Restock.

I am not sure if it is possible to do the rooting process without SuperSu and using Magisk instead, if that's what you're asking. I think it'd be safest to use SuperSu and then switch it out later once you're sure you're rooted in the first place.

As for the rollback, there are a few different issues here.

12A/13A have the Android vulnerability which allows DirtySanta to work to root the phone. This was patched after 13A, so DirtySanta can't run and you can't root the phone on a later version of the firmware. If you run anything later than 13A you can't start the rooting process (but you can upgrade your rooted phone past 13A using TWRP to flash an appropriate ROM, but not through the OTA process)

ARB (anti-rollback) prevents you from rolling back to a previous version of the firmware. It has nothing to do with rootable/non-rootable. But it prevents the phone from going back to a rootable firmware on SOME V20s. So far, no firmware on the VS995 has enabled this, so you are safe rolling back to 12A and trying to root with any firmware currently available up to 1BA (definitely 1AA but I have read a few comments that 1BA is still safe). On SOME other models of the V20, ARB *has* been set, which prevents you from rolling back to a previous version of the firmware with ARB=0 (if you try to roll back on a phone with ARB=1 you get an unrecoverable brick.)

So if tomorrow Verizon released a hypothetical update with ARB=1 and you updated, you could no longer roll back to 12A or 13A to root your phone, and you'd be stuck without root unless someone developed a new workaround.

Does that make more sense? Keep in mind that with all of the different versions of the V20, what is appropriate (or even relevant) for one model may not apply at all to another. Thankfully the VS995 still is pretty hackable at this moment. This could all change at any time.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] TraderJack:
Hold on.. So are you saying I can flash 13A, then root with Magisk, then upgrade the ROM itself to 18B to get all the latest patches?

If so, I haven't seen any instructions yet for doing that method, but that would be ideal for me for starters until I want to mess around with custom ROMS and Kernels.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Buzzy42:
Not quite that simple-- you have to downgrade to 13A if you're not already there when you get the phone.

When you run the DirtySanta rooting process, when it's done, you will end up with a rooted 13A with TWRP and SuperSu. I believe it will have the debug kernel which has a lot of issues, but you can flash any kernel you want at this point (like ReStock to get rid of the static screen you'll see at every boot). That way you'll have a 99% stock (except the ReStock kernel tweaks), rooted, 13A phone.

You can now flash any ROM you want in TWRP. If you want to stay truly stock, I'm not sure what is out there that is flashable, beyond I vaguely remember there was a 17A flashable. You do need to use a repackaged update in TWRP no matter what you want to update to, if you try to just take whatever OTA update the phone offers you (the "software update available" notification pops up and asks you to install while you're using it), you'll lose root and have to do everything over again. This is where you will most likely not be able to get to a truly stock 1BA unless it's floating around.

If I were you, I'd roll it back to 13A, get it rooted (with Supersu), flash the Restock kernel, disable updates (use Titanium Backup to freeze "FOTA Update 7.0") and stay there for a while for testing. If you want to try to switch to Magisk, remove SuperSu and flash Magisk through TWRP. The phone's functionality hasn't changed much/at all. When you're more comfortable, move forward to a ROM based on 1BA.

When you flash a new ROM most will include a kernel or ask you to flash a kernel along with it.

Basically, any updating you do has to go through TWRP. After you get root initially, though, it's really straightforward.

I found your thread her and on Reddit and was hoping you have found an answer to the hardware check feature you were looking for. I am having radio off issues with my V20 and was hoping to have the phone run a hardware check. It seems that someone posted the code "##22378" to do this but this does nothing for my older sprint v20 and my Verizon model has the MOBO back in a bag of rice. Is this only code?

To run in-built hardware diagnostics use the following phone code:

I'm pretty sure the ##228378 code was the one that brought up a pretty comprehensive hardware test menu. But, as you know each vendor does their own and this very possibly doesn't work on non-Verizon models. Sorry that's all I got!

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] krabman:
If the reset doeesn't work there is a cheat that will work if encrypted and your data is backed up... Open the stock recovery which will require a password. Select the dont remember button at the bottom. It will warn you that procedding will wipe your phone. Do it. The recovery will wipe and reboot your phone with the stock image you just tried to flash. You WILL lose data.

If you cant access the stock recovery or TWRP you can boot either on your PC and perform a wipe from there. You can then move a stock image over to root and flash it with the stock recovery.

Love flashing [MENTION=4711784]Travisholt92[/MENTION] 's Custom ROMs but want to make sure you have a backup on hand? Here's your solution.

1) Download Tasker

2) Open Tasker, under profiles tab click the + button in the bottom right corner

3) Click Time, set a time you'd like to perform a backup. (Both start and end times make the same [i.e. 4AM;4AM])

4) Click the back button once time is selected, then click the + on the new task button

5) Type "Nightly Backup" and click the ✓

6) In the "Task Edit" window click the +, scroll down to "code"

7) Enter

rm -rf [COLOR="Red"]/storage/2151-1D18/TWRP/BACKUPS/LGMP2602ef1e4ad/nightlybackup*[/COLOR];
chmod 664 /cache/recovery;
echo "set tw_storage_path /external_sd";
echo "backup SDBOM nightlybackup \ncmd reboot" > /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript

Note: Go into a Root Browser add a folder in your backup location called "nightlybackup". Copy the location of the folder and paste it into the red area specified, add the * after

8) Check off "Use Root"

9) Go back to the previous (Task Edit Screen) and press the + button again, scroll down and click "System" and then "Reboot"

10) Select "Type" as Recovery

11) Finally, press the ► button in the bottom left of your screen. It should reboot, backup and then reboot automatically again (May prompt to press power button as usual)

Note: I set my backup at 4AM after my Titanium Backup at 3AM so my phone is completely backed up and rebooted for my alarms to go off in the morning!

This code will also remove the previous Nightly Backup in that folder to be replaced with the new one upon Reboot to Recovery so you don't max out your storage! Enjoy!
