Has anyone been able to get dualboot patcher working on tbe AT&T version of the V20? If so how did you do it. The h918 is supported but not the h910. But some have said they git it working on tbe h910 but will not go in to detail on how they did it. Thanks.
You ever figure this out?

Hi everyone,
Do you know if it's possible to install the US996 variant ROMS into the H918? (perhaps tweak the US996 variant ROM to have H918 drivers) so that we don't brick it.
(BTW, I tried it with desolation rom US996, but it only resulted in a screen bootloop) (ON/OFF bootloop)
That's why I'm asking.
reverted back to stock using the LGUP method.
Thanks!
I'd like to know this too.
Thanks!
I'm guessing no one knows the answer?
What I do know is that you must never flash a complete firmware or bootloader from any other variant.
Only H918 firmware for H918.
But if you can use system partition from another, IDK. Presumably there would be some problems with this, considering the developers make separate versions and your own failure.
I've read in multiple thread that it is possible to flash US996 ROMS on H910.
Can someone please explain how to do this?
Thank you
Just flash us996 roms like any other rom
I tried. I get an error that says it doesn't match the model number. (Mine is shown as Elsa).
Have you tried flashing only the system from the US996 onto the H910? That might be a workaround. I'm still not at there yet to test this on mine as I've been working on my phone and with T-Mobile to fix some account issues.
and someone knows if it is multi-lingual, because my h910at & t unfortunately does not have native language?
Basically what it says in the subject. I have a VS995 I'd like to use on T-Mobile and have the same terrible LTE connection as everyone else who tries this. I've read US996 based ROMS (As well as Lineage OS) solve the issue, but doesn't really matter to me if I am rooted.
I was wondering if it is possible to save a whole bunch of steps and possible pitfalls and just use the modified LGUP to flash a US996 KDZ directly. If so is there a specific one that works the best?
Thanks in advance.

Have you found out anything yet? I am thinking about switching to Simple Mobile today and my VS995 is suppose to be unlocked.
any success. I'm trying to do the same thing
found this thread. it does exactly that. I was able to flash us996 kdz to vs995 https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
Haven't tested all the features yet, but looks promising.
I am tired or fighting with AT&T over getting the Oreo update, and the H910 being the only V20 that the carrier doesn't allow OEM support for... What is the difference on the hardware between the H910 and the H915? I am having difficulty finding specs online for the H915, for instance it is not listed on the GSM arena website: But from what I can find out, they have the same radio and encryption keys, and therefore are able to be mutually flashed in either direction... I have seen rooting tools that recommend flashing the H910 with an H915 rom to install custom recovery, then use the custom recovery to install stock H910 with root... But has anyone just left their H910 with an H915 rom? I want to finally have KDZ support for this phone if possible...
Your help and answers are greatly appreciated...

Yes you can using the patched LGUP
I just rooted my us996 us cellular variant and was wondering what all ROMs support this variant. I know most people will say I should just buy an unlocked version but I got this phone for really good deal and don't want to get rid of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
How did you root your US Cellular US996? My h918 died from water damage that happened before I owned it, and now I'm stuck with an unrooted US996 for US Cellular, but I haven't found how to root it and unlock the bootloader.
Thanks,
Rob

All the US996 variants were recently silently added to the list of devices that can be unlocked:
V20 LG Official Unlock..
So, I happened to get my hands on a pair of V20's. Both were us996 models. One was the USA and the other was UCL (US Cellular). In the past, the UCL was not able to be unlocked on LG's website. I was able to unlock the USA model just fine...

After that install the TWRP from here:

Inspired by Backcheck building for the VS995, I've decided to build the latest TWRP for the US996 and now most other V20 variants as well. I'm an amateur, but so far in my own use it seems to be working fine (flashes Open Gapps, Lineage, and...
