I answered that question about the modified thermal conf file on Oreo in another thread: yes it works with Oreo.

As for going from 10p to 20g, yes it can be done, and vice versa, once you've got TWRP on the device it's relatively easy to back up/flash whatever you want without any real issues. There is a rooted 20g build in a thread here so flash that and poof, instant rooted Oreo, done.

Downgrade to Nougat still needed for root?

Been a while since I rooted a phone and just getting caught up with the new OSes. Have an unlocked H91820g with stock Oreo - is it still required to downgrade to Nougat first, root, then upgrade back to Oreo? Please advise. Thanks.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cnjax:
You can root 20g using the laf exploit
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dabigoreo3:
Latest laf exploit

Is there a link to the latest version or will the old linked version still work for Oreo 20g? This thread states that you have to downgrade first to 10p or 10q - https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/root-lafsploit-h918-version-t3773443.

The T-Mobile variant LG V20 (H918) actually uses a VS995 logic board.

As I was replacing my screen and thermal paste, i noticed the logic board said VS995mainboard directly on the board itself. Can anyone explain this. Just curious if they reuse backstock with different chips. But that really wouldn't make sense, since the modem is built right into the SD820 SOC if i remember correctly.

Why would you lose quick charging running a stock ROM, even rooted? I've got no issues with this ROM (20g rooted) with my H918. I use a Samsung fast charger that provides Power Delivery (an offshoot of QuickCharge 3.0) and it charges about as fast as it's expected to charge, roughly 1% per minute even from 15% to 85% (my cutoff point to extend battery lifespan).

Maybe consider doing a clean install of this 20g ROM after wiping all the relevant partitions and truly start fresh?

20G rom issue

Attempted to install oreo 20g stock rom:

Used lafsploit to install TWRP 3.2.1-3 to laf

Installed TWRP 3.2.3-4 to recovery

Restored fastboot to laf

Boot to recovery TWRP 3.2.3-4

Advanced wipe (everything except sd and usb otg)

Flashed in order: h918-20g-prerooted.zip, H918_v2.0-BETA1-mk2000.zip, Magisk-v17.3.zip

Rebooted

Ended up at device encryption unsuccessful. What is the best path from here? I still have TWRP 3.2.3-4 on recovery and laf/fastboot is accessible but gives the "warranty void" message.

Thanks.

Thank you, sorry for wasting your time with a simple missed step. Is there a central listing of permanent or semi-permanent links for:

mk2000 kernels, rooted stock roms, and device specific twrp versions or is it just hunt and search? I'm new here but I feel like I'm definitely not using these resources properly, there has to be a less time consuming way than slowly reading through monster threads.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] scorpio76r:
I don't know if this will help you, just trying to help. If you Google "mk2000 kernel" etc and, put xda behind it, you should be able to find things quicker.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] br0adband:
The OP title says 20h (meaning I presume the rooted 20h is now available) and the OP itself was updated this morning as in hours ago but I don't see a link to 20h itself. I see the 20f links, see the 20g link, but nothing for... 20h, at least maybe not yet, probably?

Am I blind or just missing it? :D

The thing about XDA is that's basically how you learn things: by doing the research yourself, which is how most of us get the info. Yes, the threads can turn out to be exceptionally long and wordy, but the thread titles are usually a big clue to finding what you want. There is a thread in this subforum that specifically says "mk2000 kernel" right in the title of it, and that's what you'd be looking for. The suggestion given above to search for mk2000 kernel xda is a valid one, but looking through the thread titles is very helpful more often than not.

As a matter of fact, when I made this very post, that mk2000 kernel thread is the one directly below this one. :silly:

And welcome to XDA. ;)

I'm gonna start with apologizing for my lack of experience as I've never rooted a phone before and the whole process looks slightly confusing.

With this ROM do I need to root my phone beforehand or does root work based on the OS not the phone? Also, where does TWRP and Magisk fit into the whole process? I'm not even sure how to flash things in the first place, and the only guides I found for the H918 weren't for the software version my phone is on. Any help would be appreciated, but I think I might need a full walkthrough on this whole process....

Thanks cnjax. I found a thread for lafsploit here

https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/root-lafsploit-h918-version-t3773443

Now, do you know if it will work with the 20h version of stock? It mentions in the thread that if I'm not between 10p and 10q that i'll have to run the 10p kdz which is provided. Previously I have used LGUP alongside the Uppercut exe fix to get LGUP to not keep causing issues. and tried flashing H91810j_00_1216.kdz and I keep getting the message that the antirollback TOT file is smaller than what's already on the device. Really I just want to get back to Nougat since the Oreo software screwed up the DAC (nowhere loud and powerful it used to be) and the Bluetooth doesn't work right in my car anymore.

Best,

Into the dialer and selected apn unlock.

I then went into settings, and selected automatic under network type.

I went to access point names settings and entered cricket apn.

After saving, I went back and hit network operators, and chose to select network automatically...

and recieved a device registered notification... I tested calling, data and MMS. Everything worked.

Next,

I rebooted and then used the application "Hidden Android settings" to open programming menu.

I then went to bandmode and selected the bands applicable to my network so the phone wasn't wasting battery..

Maybe my device was actually unlocked, but when I bought it from the pawn shop it clearly said network locked..
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] AlwaysLucky:
Sounds like you missed a step. Once the lafexploit was done, immediately after booting TWRP in the "Download Mode" (aka fastboot mode), you were supposed to flash the recovery partition with the most current version of TWRP. Then re-boot into the real TWRP recovery where you can use it forever.

The only purpose of booting to the "Download Mode" TWRP via the lafexploit was to flash the actual TWRP recovery. I'm guessing that because you flashed the most current firmware before flashing the real recovery partition with TWRP, you will never be able to use TWRP again.

Sorry for the bad news! :rolleyes:

Why do the instructions contradict each other. On the first page it says Flash Rom, Flash Magisk, Boot. In the rest of the thread, it says the image file is pre rooted so therefore by definition you shouldn't need to Flash any Magisk.

Guys?! And also, I am hearing from other threads that if you are on Lineage os 15.1, it modifies the partitions, therefore you cannot switch or use this Oreo stock rom without having issues? People are recommending KDZ back to 10p then upgrade, is that really necessary?

If I wanted to have a stock, unrooted ROM on my H918, could I just flash this without flashing Magisk? Or is the best route to go with a KDZ? I'd rather leave the bootloader and TWRP alone, if possible, just in case.

Edit: To answer my own question... NO. With this ROM, even if you don't flash Magisk you are still rooted. I had to use a KDZ to get back to an unrooted stock form. I'll just use lafsploit if I ever feel the need to root this phone again.
