[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Reading several pages of comments of the linked ROM, I tried updating to the 20h h990n version to avoid the NT CODE error.

I then flashed with LGUP "Partition DL" mode as described here https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-oreo-rootable-h990ds-20a-20b-ame-ind-twn-flashable.3883897/post-78731608 (everything from 20h except aboot, aboot.bak, recovery, recovery.bak)

then immediately booted into TWRP and flashed:

-TWRP latest version

- restarted recovery

- ezv2020 kernel

- Magisk 21.4

- Auto_Debloat_Lgv20_msm8996_Oreo_v8.x_flashable.zip

which completed correctly.

- flash only raw_resources.bin of the above linked ROM if you want to remove the red triangle warning at boot

Rebooted and it does not show NT CODE error but there is still crash at Version Info section in LG hidden menu. And I have the red triangle at startup again. I will try to remove it by flashing patched raw_resources.bin from the linked ROM.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Oh, thanks for the notice.

In the next few days when I slowly set up everything and app I will see if there are any problems.

What version would you recommend? i read that the 20d should work fine. I think only the security patches change after 20a.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
As you also wrote I've noticed that the Magisk app after 24.3 won't open (stuck at the mask logo), but it seems strange to me. The app supports Android 8 as sdk in the manifest. Is it known why this behavior?

For now I preferred to install Magisk Delta 24.3 which re-added MagiskHide no longer present in the new versions https://huskydg.github.io/magisk-files/ Previous versions here: https://t.me/magiskdelta

Regarding VoLTE would it also work in Europe or do I have to proceed with this modification? https://xdaforums.com/t/lg-v20-volt...pa-english-deutsch-us996-f800-h990ds.4465209/ (atm my carrier don't have enabled VoLTE to test it)

For GPS I have already replaced the gps.conf file you provided for Europe, thank you!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Yes, probably official Magisk 24.3 works too. I was referring to all the above versions (>24.3) of Magisk apk.

But if the really last one (don't know why) is the 24.3 so I prefer the Magisk Delta 24.3 because it have both Zygisk and MagiskHide.

Ok, about VoLTE I'll probably know if i need to change something when my telephone operator will enable it. Hoping they won't refuse to enable it because it's not a recent phone (I had read stories like this in the past)

I noticed that in the h990ds ROM version there was also the VoWifi quick button but with the h990n ROM there is not.

I tried enabling all the ticks in:

*#546368#*990# -> Field Test menu -> GPRI VoLTE/VoWifi -> UX

But it still hasn't appeared.

Maybe it requires a different apk in /cust.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Thank you, my pleasure to reciprocate the help and help improve the device. I would have suggested it anyway because I thought that was the Magisk problem you were referring to. Instead it's really on the app part.

Later versions of Magisk Delta have added useful changes, handling modules from twrp even with /data encrypted, ability to install Magisk even in /system (welcome back not-systemless su) especially useful, according to comments, for emulators etc.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Yes i used the 24.3 and reboot, install module works. I first installed official magisk 21.4 as you wrote me in my last attempt. Didn't changed lot since then. Then flashed like a module the 24.3 magisk delta .zip. Rebooted and unistalled old Magisk app.

Because this method preserve modules installed maybe some module don't work fine with new magisk.

You can disable them with TWRP and mm https://github.com/Rikj000/Magisk-Manager-for-Recovery-Mode
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
I think the problem with magisk 25 and above and that it no longer makes changes fstab (disable avb 2, forceencrypt) and maybe more from what I remember from the changelog.

My idea in case the app worked and not the core would have been to use magisk in /system but you need the magisk delta app opened to choose that option.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
It is my hypothesis, but since something has changed in the management of the startup I hypothesize there are also bugs. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/6014 here we were talking about bootloop with the 25.1 but it seems to have been a bug with the devices not 2SI solved with the 25.2
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Related to Magisk app stuck at logo https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/6026 tomorrow I'll try as suggested with the debug build.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Werve:
Same result with debug build.

However, there are many comments of boot problems with the 25+ versions.

For now, version 24.3 is quite current, I don't think there are any modules that are not compatible, so I would say there is no problem keeping that one.

I noticed that in your list of suggested apps there is Battery Charge Limit, have you tried AccA https://f-droid.org/en/packages/mattecarra.accapp/ ? I think it has more options and is more up to date being only a frontend to the related Magisk module. And an alternative to AccuBattery may be https://xdaforums.com/t/app-5-0-batteryguru-monitor-saver.3980767/

Hi Darnrain1,

Let me start by thanking you for this great post and giving this device a second life from the dreaded 3g closure. That being said would it be possible to to revert the recent change to this device? With exkernel I was able to use 4gb zram and now I am limited to 1.5g which being a heavy user myself has brought this device to a crawl. Thanks again for this great post by the way.

Edit 1: After some extended time exkernel was able to expand to the 4gb target my device was optimal for any chance this can be the default value?

Edit 2: after rebooting changes to 4g from previous boot was reverted to 1.5gb upon boot. I wish the changes undone from last version so the option for us to increase it manually to whatever size with exkernel in my case 4gb can be done until then i was lucky enough to find version 8.31 and will be using that version until next version is available thanks again :)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Alright I'm back, but not to say everything was fine I didn't think of giving an update haha...

Following that post, I did a few things nothing major that I can remember except using Titanium Backup to remove Chrome, Google and Gmail which went fine but for some reason I had no network signal after that. Also Discord would not open anymore.

Something else I forgot to mention is that since I got my 4G to work following your steps of reinstalling, rooting again and deleting modem files I have no IMEI number displayed but maybe that's expected.

So I just didn't want to deal with this anymore I got back to using my other device and left the V20 in its cage.

Tonight I reinstalled the OS with the updated v9.34, set up the APN again and still no service.

I'm leaving in a few days for a long holiday I will probably not take this device with me I'm just completely fed up with it :)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Cool, is this going to restore the signal or it has nothing to do with it ?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Did deleting modemst1 & 2 cause that ? I always had an IMEI number until then. And when I wrote everything is working I am pretty sure it was already 0.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
Should erasing the modems be only a one time deal or should it be done every time the OS is reinstalled ? I did it once.

And no I have no backups at all. I didn't do it the very first time my phone was stock and after that I figured it's corrupted anyway and not original/unique anymore there is no point. Lastly I don't know how to backup in twrp yet if i'm mistaken and there is a point.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
No I don't have cell signal anymore. I noticed it after I was looking for a program to delete system apps in order to remove the leftovers of google. I might have installed a couple that didn't work and then used Titanium Backup, which with root access successfully removed Google, Chrome and Gmail apps. But after that no more signal for some reason, I really don't think I did anything that would mess with the network. Also after that Discord would open but stay on the loading screen indefinitely.

Now after a reinstall like I said it still doesn't work.

Does installing the rom restore the modem files ? If so I probably need to delete them again right ? Since that's the trick that made it work to begin with.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
I see. I really don't feel like doing it all over again. I don't think I did anything that would mess with the signal.

If I flash the stock KDZ it would only be to give the device to my parents I don't want to be messing with it anymore. Maybe in a couple of months when I'm back & re energized.

Anyway thank you for your help and your efforts !
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickb2b:
Curious what the benefit is when some folks are disabling zram for better performance and battery life (see post: V20 disabled zram)? Are we giving up a little of both for better multitasking?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xanvast:
I did a partition DL to the H915 today and the IMEI is still deleted. There is no service. I don't remember if that's normal or not but I'll try that trick to restore it, I will report if it worked and if it did anything for the signal.

I'm going to be leaving in a couple of days and I'm trying to make it usable for my parents, otherwise it will just be a small tablet.

Edit : so no I have tried 2 methods and none worked. I have followed the one you recommended first Link I had to figure out that the second number had to be my phone version, so *#546368#*915#

Despite the missing screenshots I think I didn't miss anything, it connected to my device and read the info correctly, it wrote the IMEI successfully except that after rebooting it still is 0.

The second tool did no better and after forcing it to cooperate it didn't manage to change my IMEI.

So I'm giving up then. Hopefully it is still rootable if I want to try again to fix it in a few months.

@Darnrain1 hey I noticed you linked to my dump for the VS995. I just wanted to mention that this is a OXED ROM. I'm not sure if that will cause any problems. I do intend create a couple new versions using the donate version of SuperR's kitchen soon. Thank you for your scripts. I look forward to studying them and trying them out.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whosondephone:
Interesting. I could have sworn a month ago that was linked directly to the file on my Google drive. I believe the ROM you're linking to is a bit outdated. My dump is the latest firmware version released by Verizon via OTA update only. There's no kdz file for it. It's nice to finally have Wi-Fi calling again.

Here is the link to my rom for anyone curious. I wouldn't change the first post yet. I'll get back to you after I test it. Might take a while, I have a newborn and work long hours.

Also depends heavily on the algorithm being used, newer zram algorithms are much more efficient than the old ones used in stock

I want a perfect install of Stock Oreo Auto_Debloat. Or my camera does not work after Auto_Debloat?

Some times when flashing crDroid or LOS it will mess with the camera, if your flashing Stock Oreo rom afterwords. You will need to flash all files of the stock KDZ again and root your phone. That's what I did on my H910. Make sure you go into airplane mode no internet and skip setup. This is also a great way to remove viruses from the phone.

Thanks for your work, Darnrain

Can I ask if you would know how to get the 3minit battery working on this? I've flashes the zip file from alpha omega ROM & the app installs, however it tells me I need to either disable my adblocker(which I haven't yet installed) or buy the paid version, which is unavailable. I'm guessing its something in the debloater, 9.49? Thanks for your time, I'm a bit of a noob

Hi Darnrain1 I have a request. Would it be possible to add CPU governor schedutil I have 2 LG v20s one stock with your auto debloat and one with lineage with a custom kernel and found the governor schedutil to be more stable than interactive. Let me know your thoughts and have a happy holiday.

Hello, can I use this with h91020h version instead of 20g?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickb2b:
So just to confirm, the speed mod is not included in the debloat scripts and should be run separately. Also, I wanted to say thanks for all the work you've put into this and sharing with the user community. I recently picked up a V20 after coming from a G3 > G6 > V30 > V50 (currently daily driver). I did so based on the work you've put into keeping this phone viable.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
Hi, thanks for all the work on this! This sounds like something I'm looking for. But I have a few questions.

Firstly, my phone is an unlocked LG V20 AT&T H910 (running on Nougat, H91010L --> 1 December 2016, security patch). I live in the UK.

Now I'm in the process of unlocking my bootloader to flash TWRP. I will be following this video tutorial:

(which is based on this: https://xdaforums.com/t/root-howto-at-t-h910-up-to-v20g-fully-tested.3664500/)

So, my questions are:

Once TWRP is installed (for the first time), I go straight to flashing your ROM as per your guide at this stage, correct?

Then, is this the correct order for flashing: TWRP > H910 20g Oreo Full Rooted > ezV2020 Kernel > Magisk > Auto_Debloat > Extra Add-on Mods (in any order at this stage, I guess)? Then I boot into the OS as I normally would?

Are the Extra Add-on Mods already in the Auto_Debloat flashable zip? If so, I guess I'll skip the last part in the flash sequence above (if it's correct).

Is disabling MLT/LDB a pre-requisite or a feature of Auto_Debloat in that list you posted? I'm confused. Likewise with the "Modded boot.img Triton removed LG RCT removed" and "Updated modem drivers" parts.

For my phone model specs (see above), do I go for Auto_Debloat v9.1? Not sure what msm8996 is.

In terms of Google apps, this is the equivalent of GApps pico?

Once everything is done and running, could I then update TWRP and Magisk to the latest versions available for H910? I see I must be on at least TWRP v3-3-1.0 and Magisk 23.0 when I first do this.

If I want to switch to LineageOS 18.1 (or other custom ROM) at a later stage with a clean install, do I just wipe data, system, cache, etc. through TWRP? Does this get rid of everything, including ezV2020 Kernel, Magisk, add-on mods, etc.?

Thank you! Looking forward to your answers.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
Dude, you rock! Thanks for the detailed answers. I think these answered all I wanted to know in this particular thread before installing TWRP for the first time. If there are any issues down the line, I'll let you know, but everything should go smoothly.

>For the H910 twrp magisk v23.0 and the modem drivers all all included in one nice package. You only need to flash two files.

And it also includes ezV2020 Kernel v1.0, correct?

So, after I do Step3.BAT (which flashes TWRP) for the first time, I flash your H910_20g_Oreo_full_rooted.zip and Auto_Debloat_H910_20g_only_v9.1_flashable.zip, then wipe Dalvik Cache and reboot phone. Gotcha!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
Cheers again!

Couldn't I just skip flashing h910-10r.zip, H910_BTTF-mk2000.zip and Magisk-v19.0.zip after I finish with Step3.BAT from the rooting guide, and go straight to flashing H910_20g_Oreo_full_rooted.zip followed by Auto_Debloat_H910_20g_only_v9.1 from within the flashed TWRP 3.3.1.0?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
Coolio. Thanks a million! I'll let you know if I succeeded in installing the debloated stock Oreo on my H910 soon-ish!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
Update: I got to flashing H915 v10e KDZ through PARTITION DL in LG UP. Followed everything as instructed. However, I'm still waiting to get past the LG Logo screen during the boot-up. It's been over 15 minutes now, and I'm still at that LG Logo screen. The phone is still connected through the USB and LG UP said everything was completed.

Update 2: Still waiting. At what point do I decide to unplug it from the USB and remove the battery? Is it bricked? What should be my next steps?

Update 3: It's been over an hour and counting and still at the LG Logo. Just want to point out that the only difference between mine and the video's is that at this point my window said "Partition(s) changed [there was a list of folders, like 5 or 6?] Do you want to continue?", unlike his which just had "userdata".
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
The video uses the exact same guide, step by step. So the video is legitimate.

I did a backup (DUMP) as instructed in the guide. I didn't uncheck laf during PARTITION DL. As instructed in the guide, I checked all.

Should I unplug the USB and re-enter download mode and repeat LG UP with the H915 KDZ but laf unchecked?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
That's the website I initially downloaded the KDZ. I very much doubt it's the browser. I can see the file and its file size on my PC correctly.

I restarted the process in LG UP. PARTITION DL the redownloaded KDZ with everything checked, except laf. Still hanging, so after a while I removed the battery again and reentered Download Mode.

Repeated with everything checked this time and same redownloaded KDZ. Still stuck at LG Logo.

One thing to note, when I open up LG UP, it still detects it as the original H91010L.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShazamMan:
I'll try to see if I can get into factory reset at least.

I haven't checked ARB before (don't know how?), but when LG UP is partitioning, one of the first messages in the Step cell says something like ARB Check PASSED. So I guess its ARB is fine.
