[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlindMint:
Hello all. I am looking to root my thus-far stock v20 with H91020h, and I am trying to piece together the information from this guide and the original root guide referenced here.

I've read all the way through this one and the first, but I've never rooted a phone before, and I still have some questions for clarity's sake. I just want to be 100% on the up-to-date process, and this might help any other inexperienced users pursue Oreo root. Are the below steps correct as I understand them?

Backup phone and SD card (optional)

Format SD card exFat

Install ADB and Fastboot on PC

Run LG UP, pick DUMP, and click Start. Select all partitions, uncheck userdata.

When finished, click PARTITION DL, pick the H915 v10e KDZ downloaded above, and click start. Check all partitions.

Once it is complete, phone should reboot into Freedom Mobile ROM.

Enable developer mode, enable USB debugging, and make sure that your PC is authorized.

Run commands from first guide to flash TWRP (what is WW 2.0 kernel)?

--

Open two command windows. In each one change to the directory that you extracted the root package.

In the first one execute:

Code:

adb logcat -s dirtysanta

Then in the second one execute:

Code:

STEP1.BAT

Wait till you get a prompt back then type (or copy / paste):

Code:

run-as con

chmod 0777 /storage/emulated/0/*

Now open up your terminal emulator on your phone and type:

Code:

applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta

Watch the window that has logcat running. When it says to run step 2, execute:

Code:

STEP2.BAT

Once fastboot comes up -- it will be a really small red font that says, FASTBOOT MODE. Once that is up, execute:

Code:

STEP3.BAT

--

Boot into TWRP: Re-enable developer mode and USB debugging, have your phone connected, and execute the following in a command window:

Code:

adb reboot recovery

Say "Yes" twice to factory reset

In TWRP

Wipe > Format data

Wipe cache / davik cache

Flash H910_20h_Oreo_full_rooted.zip from SD card

Format data again

Boot into TWRP again?

Code:

adb reboot recovery

Flash H910_v2.2-mk2000.zip

Add TWRP back. Would I still be in TWRP at this point? The guide says to run (Install / Install Image / recovery-twrp-h910-2018-10-18.img to Recovery). Or do I have to run all command prompt/terminal commands again from the first guide?

After this, should I flash Magisk from TWRP or should I install the Magisk apk (stated in this guide) after booting to the OS?

Once is Magisk is flashed or installed, I think I'm done, right?
