Hello! I have an T-mobile version of LG v60. It is permanently unlocked and it has the V600TM20n update. I tried researching on internet about the LG V60 variant, and I couldn't find much information.

Can somebody tell me:

If it is possible to prevent the updates from applying during midnight?

If Android 11 version is still 'root-able'?

If not, is still possible to revert to an older version of Android without losing carrier unlocked status?

My main concern is that these updates will disable my ability to root the phone. Thanks.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
Yes,youcan turn off auto updates in settings.Yes,A11 is still rootable.And,yes you should be able to downgrade and you won't lose carrier unlock.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] onedges:
Turning off auto updates and settings does nothing to actually prevent the phone from updating on its own.

Some of us tried preventing Android 10 to 11 but it didn't work. Is anything different for Android 11 to Android 12? If you did get it to stop can you detail what you did? It would be quite helpful.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] NGOwner:
If you are rooted and unlocked, your phone will not update. It will "error" out everytime.

You will continue to get the nag screens, but the phone won't update. That's been my phone's behavior.

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Your carrier can disable OTA updates from their end.

Try this.

Or use a package disabler to do it or an adb edit.

Do Not update to 12, it's fubar.

9 or 10 are likely better and more functional.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] surgemanx:
I just updated my Velvet to 12.It's not terrible from what I have seen.A few changes here and there but nothing spectacular for me to brag about just yet..lol.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
CPU cycle sucking scoped storage is fully active in 11. Many have reported issues after upgrading to 12 across many unrelated devices. Issues with 3rd party apps including manufacturer system apps seem to be common. Even Pixels aren't exempt🤣

If your phone is running well on Pie or 10 you have very little to gain and a lot to lose in terms of usability and functionality in exchange for questionable "improvements".
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Pioneer22:
How can I prevent update to Android 12?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You need to disable the update app. Not sure what it's called on LG's.

You can use adb edit or Package Disabler Pro for other devices. PM me if you want that website, it's $5@year.

This what it looks like on my Samsung:

I read that if you use adb to remove the FOTA system app (T-Mobile), it will prevent Android updating. If this is true, can I still receive security patches? Are security patches updated separately?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
I don't think that works as the updates will be overided by google play services which youll need root so it automatically stops updates for you.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
Android 12 was a performance benefit of both android 10 and android 11 of the V60. android 11 on the v60 was smooth but had Vulkan issues, and performance was not great as it suffered lag and slowdowns when gaming. On antutu V8.4.5 android 10 got 559,000 overall score, android 11 got 536,000 overall score, and android 12 got 574,000 overall score. So I would recomend A12 update.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You disable the OTA update app by using a package disabler or adb edit. No root needed to end it's reign of tyranny.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] KouaV1:
I think that works only on some models of the V60, I have the tmobile v60 and yes I have done adb and yet google play will overide it with the software updates have factory resetted and tried again about 5-10 times no work. which is why i turned to root
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The update app is a dependency of Google play Services probably. It likely has the permissions to turn on Google play Services too.

The update app acts like a rootkit🤣

You need to find the update app(s) and permanently disable them. It may take some work but should be doable. Lol, LG can't be worse than Samsung in this regard.

It will have startup at boot permissions.

You can find it with this:

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Snakecharmed:
I recently got a LM-V600TM on Android 11 and am trying to do my damndest to prevent 12. I don't care about benchmark performance because I don't do mobile gaming. I just don't want to give up control over my phone when LG has a history of putting out half-assed Android updates. It also wasn't cool that 12 removed manual 8K video recording. While it doesn't appear that they broke anything like how Oreo crippled various mods on the V20, I'm not okay with updates that introduce issues and remove features.

Here are the following things I've done so far on my V60:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.android.atservice
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.gdec.client
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.lgfota.permission
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.pickme

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.appbox.installer
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.updatecenter

Source: https://xdaforums.com/t/no-root-nee...m-lg-v60-tmobile-or-att.4244333/post-84875105

Some additional info on what apps to disable and what behavior to look out for is here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LGV60/comments/rqwwlo/_/hqd9kjk

All of the above should effectively disable OTA updates, but Google Play services will still find a way to annoy the hell out of you every two days. The following system lightbox dialog supposedly comes from Google Play services:

----------

Install update to keep device running smoothly

Your system is [X] days out of date.

[Link] Learn more

[Option] Install Now

[Option] Remind me later

----------

I was frustrated to discover it was possible to get almost all the way there without rooting only to find that removing the dialog is the part that requires root.

Source: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-do-i-stop-update-notices.4171467/post-84529465

The only thing I really needed root for in recent years was system-wide ad blocking, and I have that taken care of now with Blokada 5 and an archive of the last version of Vanced, but it looks like I'll get sucked back into the rooting endeavor at least one more time just to get rid of this system update dialog.

Rooting phones felt kind of cool years ago when it was a novel thing to do and doing so actually opened up lots of customization options. Now it just feels like a chore.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Snakecharmed:
To follow-up my own post:

Because there is currently no T-Mobile Android 12 KDZ (only US Cellular and unlocked Canada) for the V600TM and upgrading to 12 doesn't trip some kind of anti-rollback mechanism like firmware updates did on previous LG phones, I considered letting 12 install itself. The system lightbox nag dialog was too annoying for me.

After reviewing the changes in the LG Android 12 package, I had concluded that it wasn't crippling to the V60 other than dropping the manual 8K recording, which I'm not a fan of removing, but I also don't use. I figured that I have a T-Mobile Android 11 20n KDZ that I could always use for rooting later. However, once I decided to let the 12 update proceed, it kept erroring out and failing no matter what I did.

I tried one last time to root the phone on Android 11 20n and finally succeeded on Windows 10. Previously, QFIL failed on port comms on both of my Windows 7 machines. Anyway, I'm glad this nightmare is done. Just for how bad the initial rooting experience was on this phone, I'm not particularly pleased with it at the moment. Maybe it will slowly win me over if I never get that damn nag screen again after following the instructions in this link:

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-do-i-stop-update-notices.4171467/post-84529465

I'm beginning to realize that I'm probably not going to keep this phone for very long compared to my two V20s. I've used the V20 for nearly 5 years now. I might get 2-3 out of this V60 before I go with a used Sony Xperia 1 IV or a future Xperia 5 if it ever gets good T-Mobile 5G band support. I want something without carrier bloat, has good community support (which this phone has virtually none), and is far more friendly to bootloader unlocking and rooting, but doesn't strip away the ports and external storage like just about every damn phone out there does now.

In case anyone would find it helpful, to revert the disabled app changes I made to my V60 in the previous post, I used the following command for all 7 of the apps I had uninstalled for user 0:

adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>

[General Questions and Answers] Feenix0:
Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible (and if so, how) to directly change android settings via adb commands.

My wife has broken the LCD screen on her phone (OnePlus 7T HD1907, Android 11, rooted with Magisk). I'm having a lot of trouble getting screen mirroring and USB OTG input devices to work at the same time; I have a USB v3 hub, and a USB OTG connector, but I've only been able to consistently get either screen mirroring or input devices to work, not both at the same time. The screen on the phone has now completely failed so I can no longer switch back and forth between the two to make changes on the phone. When I did have it working briefly I turned on the "experimental desktop mode on secondary displays" in Developer Settings, which just made things worse because Android settings don't seem to be available in desktop mode.

I have an identical phone to which I can refer, if needed.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I don't know if it contains your specific setting, however, many settings can be read/stored/modified using the foillowing commands from a shell/ADB. using

# read settings, there are three partitions. Secure, System & Global
settings list secure;
settings list system;
settings list global;

# to read a specific one
settings get secure "sleep_timeout";

# to change a setting
settings put secure "sleep_timeout" "-1";

# there's another command for delete, but I cnat remember it for certain, so dont wish to guess and lead you astray ;) and I am sure you know how to do a web search

The above is for a shell, adding adb shell to the front would run it explicitly from adb.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Trying to change system settings requires Android is rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] Feenix0:
It is.
[General Questions and Answers] Feenix0:
Would I simply type "adb shell" to start the shell after connecting to the device? I'm assuming that this would be a linux shell.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I am pretty sure that not ALL settings require root to be changed.

Well, that makes it hypothetical in this case;)

There are many ways to do things.

Personally (if not using the app I created and listed below), I start a shell with adb shell and I am running windows, so that is run from a command shell.

At that point, you enter the ANDROID shell (Not linux, its an android device)

I then change to a root shell with su; Only because anything worth doing usually requires root, and at least some of these will.

And then I can run any of the statements above. I would suggest you run a list of each and save that off as a backup.

Another option to see many of these in action and generate a "restore" of the existing, is using the app I created called TeMeFI

You can find these under the menu Current State>Settings>*

Try entering recovery mode. When device starts , start tapping with all five fingers on screen till message detected is seen or recovery mode. The rest of process is automatic. If not entered in recovery mode you can do a hard reset of device by pressing power+volume at a same time when device turns on.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] Morrob95:
Hey guys! Swapped from a oneplus 8 pro. I forgot how much I hate oxygen OS...Love the devices but oxygen OS is just ehhhhh. I had been running custom AOSP ROM for the longest time. How long until these devices generally get custom ROM? Pixel experience or lineage would be sweeeeeeet.

Also whats up with the lack of MEMC?? That was the best part of stock oneplus 8. Pretty sure the 9 had it as well. Am I just missing it or is it gone?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] GMM LLC:
It depends upon many factors like which ROM you are flashing, It's Size, Recovery, Device Configuration etc. I flashed MIUI 6 in my old HTC Desire 616 and it took approx 10 to 15 minutes to flash and boot, First boot after flashing a room usually takes time so keep patience.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] kouzelnik3:
I guess upon previous phones that it might take around 3 months to get first initial custom ROM builds.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Depends on the phone mate, some have them made before the phone releases.

Evo X has a placeholder for a ROM on the 10 which I'm praying is remotely close to what we had on the 8 pro.

I'm sure lineage will make its way and probably some Magisk ROMs.

Point is it has to happen..it's one of the best phones in the world at the moment but it has a crap OS, so yea I'd say well get some ROMs, hopefully the right ones like Evo.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Morrob95:
Man I hope so! I personally ran EVO for quite some time and it was pretty good. The only reason I swapped was because of some android auto issues I had running it with Headunit Reloaded on my android unit in my car. I no longer do that so I wouldnt mind an EVO port to the 10 pro! Lineage makes its way to every phone at some point. I guess I'll suck it up and stick with OOS for a little while.

Oneplus should just hire the guys behind pixel experience or one of the other large ones and use them for their next phone. That would probably be a hit.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Yea I agree mate, I also think I remember you asking about auto.

Funny you mention hiring that guys, that's kind of how OnePlus started, they hired someone who made Cyanogen mod, the now lineage.

They've moved far from them humble roots.. but so long as the community keeps going and it remains strong then in my eyes it'll remain a great device.

After that it was just kind of taking that ATV ROM that's AOSP pretty much and making sure everything is good and Android kitchen for Windows I use back then, it seems like I haven't used windows in years it would be right after this I went to Lennox so a year and a half I guess but your options are definitely better you've got GUI kitchens and stuff in windows. Now flashes and building is another story Linux builds better Linux flash is better, but as for the kitchens themselves they're far more abundant has more people release for Windows.
