V20 connoisseur, well done, nice to see this being kept alive. I do like my V20 even though its now a second phone. Thanks for your time & dedication on this (y)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Darnrain1:
Your welcome, not a problem. I love my Lgv20 phone.

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for creating this! I have an h910, been running alphaomega for the last couple of years I guess pretty happy but it got a bit buggy and is no longer supported obviously.

So this afternoon I'm gonna back up and take the plunge, change to this stock debloated and see how I get along. I'm a bit nervous haha since it's been ages since I tinkered/flashed anything.....will I remember, will it go smoothly jaja....or will this be two days without a phone and lots of hours sat reading? Soon find out!

I love the v20, really appreciate peoples' efforts to keep it alive and useful - I don't know if I'll ever want/need more from a phone to be honest!

*edit* I'm having real problems getting the rom file from androidfilehost :( There is only one mirror available and it keeps cutting my connection, I have to pause and restart, downloads a few megs and then stops again.....

If it is easy to put up another copy of the file somewhere it'd be appreciated, thank you!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koodz:
Thanks for your reply! I reckon flashing it will be easy too - hope so!

I did try with a couple of different download managers in Firefox, no luck. Now slowly but surely getting it bit by bit in brave browser haha. It lets me resume after showing "network error", which firefox didn't. Fingers crossed!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koodz:
Thanks again for your replies!

I will persist with brave for now, I'm at 1.4 gigs and it keeps resuming OK so I'll try to be patient haha. I live in the mountains with limited data connection only, when its good 700kbps, average 200ish - but 100gig a month current limit so I really want to get it this time without wasting data :) If this one doesn't work in brave, one more try with multithreaded and then a walk into town tomorrow if not.

Looking forward to having a clean install again, cheers!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koodz:
Hey man just to update :)

The install went smooth as, everything seems very snappy and the battery seems to be lasting nicely, no greenify or anything else installed.

I did get an issue I had before when installing AlphaOmega - I had no modem (phone didn't recognize it had a sim card in the slot). I installed as per instructions formatting and rebooting, coming from my previous AO (also Oreo) installation. Fortunately, I solved this problem, wrote a detailed write up and still had my modified modem file from 3 years ago. Here is that detailed write up for if anyone else should have the problem of only having Modem (cell signal) or Fingerprint working after flash. Doesn't seem to happen to many people, but a few have had the same problem as me.

Now in the long process of getting the phone back as I want it :)

Thanks again for your time and effort on this - it is so nice to boot into a debloated, snappy phone.....just playing with all your recommendations now, the screen ghosting zip seems to have worked well, battery is great, phone is quick....I'll keep playing and reporting anything interesting etc :) Subscribed, too of course!

It's not re

It's not really much of a prob... Are you using any gcam mod? If yes what version and app?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickb2b:
I'm liking v8.16 on my Verizon V20. I think the addition of the 512MB cache has greatly improved smoothness and responsiveness for me. Before this version I was experiencing lag is some apps/games and now things seem much smoother overall. To be clear, this is caching to storage not RAM (zram)?

Hi,

Really great job, for a really great phone (y)

I want to install this on my H990DS, actually unlocked with dirty santa, but where I can found the stock Oreo Rooted ROM for this plz ?

Thank you very much,
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kornex:
Thx a lot for your quick return, I really appreciate.

I'll try to install this on my H990DS with your guideline and post the result here asap
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] monc1975@yahoo.com:
Possible problem on hdmi output, no sound? Otherwise so far, running smooth thanks
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] monc1975@yahoo.com:
I've just come back to correct my message. Its not related to the ROM, my mistake sorry.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kornex:
I'm in stress with some parts of guideline !! :eek:

In D : Where I found the Modem driver for my device plz ?

And how can I copy the gps.conf file in the correct folder with the correct permissions plz ? (I downloaded the "France" file from your AFH server)

How I unmount the partitions ?

And last one, how can I restore my EFS file ? (with my twrp backup ?)

Thank you so much for your help
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kornex:
Hi Darnrain1, thank you very much for your help, sincerely.

Yes, i'm in Los 18.1 and finger print work well (no gps and some other issues)

Ok thx a lot (did I modify the permissons ?)

In the guide :

4. click Wipe > Do I wipe anything or just click to access format data partition in the next menu ?

7. Flash> I'll put all .zips in queue file or I flash them one by one ?

In queue file case, I can't put the twrp .img in queue.

8. Unmount all partitions > How I do this plz ?

BR
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kornex:
Thank you (y)

Oreo rooted installed, with ez2020kernel, magisk and auto debloat.

camera ok,

Do you think it's possible to make a full auto-deglooged version plz ?

Thank you again for your help and your work,

Awesome guy (y)(y)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kornex:
I never said this !! :D

GPS don't work, (gps.conf copied in right folder, same issue) but it's not work into Los 18.1 too... maybe an hardware pblm ?

Tested with GPStest and Osmand ! :(

If any ideas ?

Take care too, thx a lot
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kornex:
You are awesome and you're right, it's probably an hardware problem like you linked.

Here is the picture of my two LG V20 H990DS :

I took the picture with a xiaomi, sorry for the poor quality !
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] frolay:
Hi, Darnrain1 thanks for your previous help and I would like to know if you can help me with something else, as you appear to be the smart one here. I bought a 4Tb crucial x6 SSD, hoping to get my entire Flac collection portable. I made a little docking station with a USB-c “U” connector, and added a little pocket to the back of a case with stretchy cloth. The phone reads the drive correctly but after about 1.6Tb worth of data, it shows the rest of the folders as empty. I know this is off topic but I’m wondering if there is anything I can do to get the phone to read the whole drive
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] frolay:
Thanks for the reply, but I’ll have to wait a few days before I can check that as I had a powered hub that stopped working and I’m waiting for the next one to arrive. But to me it doesn’t seem like a power problem as the drive gets mounted, it shows the correct storage space and used space. Yet only the first 1.6TB of data is actually there the rest shows the folders name but says the folder is empty. On the computer I can load the whole drive fine. It would almost seem like they may have a 2TB max written in the code somewhere that should be able to be changed. I guess what I’m asking is, do you know that a 4TB drive can be utilized and there is something wrong on my end, or is there a size limit codded into the phone?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] frolay:
I just installed Auto_Debloat v9.19. And the phone is nice and zippy, but the folders are still showing as empty after 1.6TB of data.

What if I separate the drive into 2-3 partitions, do you think the phone would be able to read the whole drive then?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] frolay:
I formatted my drive into 3 - 1.21Tb partitions. The phone can now read the whole drive properly which is very exciting. I tried power amp yet they don’t have a folder tree, same thing for Lg music, they just show all folders, yet my library is organized under a folder structure. After trying multiple players, such as, Jet audio player which couldn’t handle a large library, the player that checked all the boxes is Neutron music player. It has a folder tree, it can handle a large library, and the sound is great.

I noticed there is an old thread on here talking about getting android to read NTFS files https://xdaforums.com/t/full-ntfs-read-write-support-for-android-arm.1724078/ I wonder if enabling NTFS will also enable the phone to read drives larger then 1.61TB. This is more of a curiosity as I don’t plan to further mess with my drive as its working, and this tiny drive has a painfully slow write speed of 50MB/s rang after the first 800MB. By the way great idea on using it as a network drive but this is not for home use I already have a dedicated DAC/amp for that. This drive is for the car and out and about.

Thought I’ll upload some pictures of my setup as others might take an idea from them, anyways thanks again for making this possible.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Hi, I finally took the time to give your solution a try after battling multiple issues with LOS for almost 2 months now. I was lacking motivation to continue fixing so it took a while.

Unfortunately things didn't go as planned, I followed the instructions but at the reboot to system part I encounter a secure boot with password required. I formatted before like requested in your steps and I did it after encountering the screen. It will not go away and the counter goes down every time. I don't think this has to do with your files or process as I have encountered this before with official roms (stock android 7 nougat), only LineageOS (and its derivated /e/) works fine. Any ideas before I go back to that ? Was my phone unlocking process flawed ? I don't feel like redoing it a 4rth time.

Thanks.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Thanks for your reply. That makes sense.

If you don't remember me, you helped me on my thread a few weeks ago LG V20 H910 No Mobile Data, Calling & Kernel crash [4G, notifications solved] + Headphones not working

I have a H910 which I flashed to a H915 to root it (the second time onward)

I used the version you said to use, twrp-3.6.2_9-0-h910. Before that I had the twrp-3.3.1-0-h910 and I remember having the same issue with it. How does that make sense that they would be worse than an old version ? But it certainly seems so. Is the dirtysanta twrp version the twrp-3.2.1-2-h910 ? Fortunately I still have it and I think I remember it removing the encryption successfully before.

So does that mean that I have to follow your guide again, use the newer version to flash the system and autodebloat, then flash twrp-3.2.1-2-h910 in fastboot, and then format with that version ?

Edit : I just saw you addressed this issue in the second post, sorry. I'd still appreciate your confirmation and advice.

Now that I think of it I'm pretty sure I did the root procedure with the 3.3.1 version the second time and on. I had no idea it was "worse".
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Oh yes I remember this version now from the initial guide, I never used it...

Thanks a lot ! I will report back when it's done, before the end of the week.

I didn't backup anything so I'm expecting some issues since there is no EFS to restore but who knows I might be pleasantly surprised. It can't be worse than LOS kernel crashing twice during setup (tonight) x)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
I went ahead and did the manipulation tonight. It certainly worked and no secure boot this time. Now the result is pretty close to the stock android 7 the device came shipped with. It seems to me that autodebloat did not do its job properly. See the screenshots. I ran the two installs in a queue.

Could it have something to do with the mount settings ? (the system wasn't mounted when I went to delete the google folders for example) Should I run it now that I setup the system ?

Some quick things I have tried and noticed :

- the earphones are not detected and do not switch the sound to headset mode

- the camera app is not working (black screen and irresponsive buttons)

Edit : and the clear boot warning message became static after installing the package.

I'm waiting to be deGoogled to try the mobile data and else. There is a lot more left than the few folders you said to delete.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
It certainly worked with the update. Thank you.

I added a screenshot of the camera app. I tried installing Gcam_6_1_021_Advanced_V1_6_Fu24_5Lens_02c8_3_A10_LG_V40_QE_v046 that I was using on LineageOS & /e/ to see if it works any better and it closes automatically. How would redo everything from scratch help ? It always worked until now. For the earphones that's not new I've had that everywhere (didn't try on stock though). And the static stays if I install LOS so it's not to do with this Oreo installation (not important to fix).

Edit : not a surprise but the mobile network is not working. I added my APN.

It is going back and forth between a few bars and no signal non stop. Nothing works, sms or calls.

I won't be able to use this rom. As unstable as LOS 18.1 is for me at least the camera and mobile data works.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Yes the IMEI is there and it is correct. If you can fix the mobile data that would be great thanks for your time and efforts.

Now I am currently trying the crDroid v5.12 on android 9 it is based on LOS too and the camera is not working either it's starting to worry me. The kernel crashes the same no surprise there, maybe even worse. It's struggling with the sim card and mobile network a lot. I'll try to reinstall what had the camera working to check if it is still ok or broken now, that would be terrible.

Edit : Yes the camera works on lineage-18.1-20220818-nightly-h910-signed. On a sidenote the build from last week (11/08) wouldn't let me in the system because of that encryption thing and would reboot to recovery. A build from july didn't have this issue (nor june, the first I used).
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
I didn't want to do everything from scratch but I will probably have to. Now after having installed this Lemon Drop build I am getting kernel crashes very quickly after the device tries to hook to a mobile network (data disabled). It does that on CrDroid, LOS 18.1 & /e/. I did not get a single time a connection. It's fine on airplane mode. It used to work. Flashing different modems didn't help nor different kernel. It is just corrupted now somehow. Any idea on how to fix it from this point ?

The camera works though on LOS 18.1 & /e/ so I really wonder why and how it would suddenly work on this Oreo if I redo it all.

Also I'd like to ask you what is the importance of this step :

3. Very important, on step3.bat wait for phone to reboot from fastboot mode, when you see the LG logo, pull the battery. Do a factory reset and that will load TWRP How to factory reset the Lgv20, in two or three min, it's not fast.

Thank you !
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
I will redo it when I find the time and motivation. I just wanted to ask about one step of the rooting procedure :

Is it important to flash h910-10r.zip ? Or I should just go ahead and flash H910_20g_Oreo_full_rooted.zip + the autodebloat script ?

Also, in the guide he mentioned this part :

"No part of the H915 firmware is left on the phone. The only things that are not 100% stock v10r firmware are ABOOT (it is the US996 engineering aboot that is unlocked. It also gives the nasty warning on boot), BOOT (it is the 10q kernel with a few patches added by @askermk2000 - KCAL, Adreno idler, etc), and of course RECOVERY (TWRP)."

Is the bold part done by flashing H910_BTTF-mk2000.zip on top of the rom like we talked about on my thread, since it's not part of the package anymore ? And do you know what differentiates it from let's say H910_v1.5-mk2000.zip ? Thanks.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Ok so I reinstalled last night. It took 45mns to an hour.

The camera works now. The mobile network works too (didn't get to try mobile data yet, was waiting to degoogle). Unfortunately calls don't work (but at least it doesn't crash). Earphones don't work either, which might be a hardware issue at this point. I should have tried them while on the stock H915 nougat, same for the calls but I never did. I just didn't think of it.

Now I started degoogling today, I removed everything except the package installer. I didn't see any of these 3 in TWRP

com.google.android.gms

com.google.android.gsf

com.google.android.webview

I removed LG Health too and now it doesn't boot, it's stuck on the red orb thing animation. I guess I'll have to flash it again and start with just the few you said to remove.

Edit : I did an advanced wipe before reinstalling which resulted in multiple components crashing during setup (endless crash popups) and then reboot. I had to do a format to get no crashes after flashing again.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
It has to be something to do with LineageOS because I didn't install CrDroid before your rom, only after.

So this evening I deleted a bit less stuff I left a couple more google things and I didn't touch the LG Health but it wouldn't boot again. I guess that's the morale of the story here, don't take initiatives.

I reinstalled once again. This time I only removed the first three you mentioned. I installed MicroG. I flashed Magisk-v22.1. Set up the Wifi. I was going to try if Wifi Calling would work but somehow tonight regular calls work. Both ways. The signal is slower to catch and weaker than it is with my MI Mix 2S, depending on the location/position but it's mostly fine. Some delays can happen when it's at 1 bar though but I was really surprised.

Now I have to use it for a few days, go videochat outside with mobile data and if it is stable then it's finally all good (except the earphones but they never worked on this device so far). It only took 2 months.

If this didn't work I would have given up on this device. So thank you for your contribution. I will update in a few days to confirm if it's stable.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Hello, I just got an LG v20 with plans to put this ROM on it and on the label it says h990ds but in the installed OS and LGUP it read h990n.

I am trying to root and managed to install TWRP but after I flash a OREO h990ds ROM (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-oreo-rootable-h990ds-20a-20b-ame-ind-twn-flashable.3883897/) I can no longer access TWRP and on normal boot after the LG logo sound the screen has static in several places and then presents a kernel panic.

What can I do? I can't flash a h990ds ROM to h990n? the hardware should be identical.

Edit: I restored stock h990ds 10c ROM with LGUP and display is fine but there is a warning "current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NTCODE= [FFFFFF,54]"
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Sorry for the delay.

I did again the root but this time from a h990ds 10c stock ROM (that showed that NTCODE error but i read that with root is fixable)

Then I tried to flash the kernel on the dirtysanta page https://xdaforums.com/t/root-dirtysanta-comes-for-the-h990.3624296/ but at the reboot it was stuck at LG logo.

On the previous attempt to root (starting from the installed h990n rom) I had then flashed ez kernel that you linked but it rebooted directly into fastboot mode.

Now i'm trying:

-format data with old twrp

-update twrp

-flash that oreo rootable h990ds ROM i previously linked

-flash ezV2020 kernel (or before the ROM ?)

No luck, same result, rebooted in fastboot mode.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
I am following the steps now. (I was too late yesterday)

Currently it seems to be stuck after flashing Auto_Debloat_Lgv20_msm8996_Oreo_v8.x_flashable.zipper (should I have rebooted with new TWRP?).

the log shows:

Auto_Debloat Script completed
Please wait....
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Because it was still stuck at that step in TWRP I took the battery out and put it back in and turned it on.

The window appears with the red error triangle then the image of Lemon Drop lemons ....

It starts the OS without static so it should work.

I'll try it and see if there is anything wrong and possibly if I can put the stock oreo ROM I had linked which is 20b (more updated but I don't know what changes from 20a).

I didn't restore the EFS because the backup is of the Nougat version and I read that there would be problems putting it on Oreo (but otherwise how is it possible to have the original backup of that Oreo? Oreo cannot be rooted)

Edit: I noticed that the SD card notification is not localized to the language chosen at startup, is it because it was changed by the script?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Yes following the steps I had flashed the new TWRP version but did not reboot to recovery so used the old one for Lemon_Drop.

I will make a backup of the current version and also try with the 20b one and in case I will update the post for posterity if anyone is interested.

Thanks for your attention and guidance!

Edit: Seems TWRP refuse to backup System Image, now I'll try just System.

Just System worked.

Stock Rootable 20b ROM https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-oreo-rootable-h990ds-20a-20b-ame-ind-twn-flashable.3883897/ booted after flash:

1. that ROM with latest TWRP

2. ezV2020 Kernel

3. Magisk v21.4

4. old Dirtysanta TWRP

5. reboot into TWRP

6. format /data with the "yes"

7. reboot

But I noticed that if I click on Version Info in the hidden LG menu it crash, maybe is that 20b version?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Actually I have 2 Sim slot. If I remember correctly h990ds and h990n have the same hardware but the h990n is for Hong Kong market. And maybe have a lower LTE Cat.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Tomorrow i will retry with the 20a ROM but maybe is the kernel there is only a h990ds nota h990n. Seems strange to me that there are difference if the specs are the same... On the kernel page of dirtysanta guide it is written that the h990ds have the Bluetooth module outside the kernel but in system so maybe that is a difference.

Actually i bought the h990ds because 2 sim slot seems to me better even if i just use one. Then i found out that the installed ROM says h990n and with different IMEI from the ones written on the back phone label... so maybe was refurbished
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
I am about to try the version again the 20a version TWN even if I have HKG (Hong Kong NT Code) but the one that is again from here https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-oreo-rootable-h990ds-20a-20b-ame-ind-twn-flashable.3883897/ ... because I prefer that there is included the patched raw_resources.bin to prevent showing the corruption warning at the startup and the missing Second Screen's "App shortcuts"

In the other 20a version you linked me although I think it is for NT code Hong Kong (because it did not give me any NT CODE error message at startup) it showed the red triangle of corruption at boot.
