Are there only two of three Korean variants which are unlocked yet? Can the F800S not be unlocked later?

Are you sure that the H990DS Korean variant can be unlocked in couple of month. If H900DS can be unlocked I will buy it in Germany now. But I must be sure that it can be unlocked later.

I'm NOT sure 100%
H990DS is NOT KOREAN
It's Taiwan Dual SIM & S_H_I_T

I advice you NEVER DO NOT buy :
H990DS ( DUAL SIM = F_U_C_K it )
BUY BELOW INTERNATIONAL MODEL NUMBER ONLY ( SINGLE SIM ) :
LG H990 V20 TD-LTE / H990TR
LINK :

I think it will launch in South Africa and Turkey in November

Ok I think you adviced me the Single SIM variant for better custom ROM community here in xda?
Then I will by a Single SIM variant where it's possible to go in fastboot and fastboot command work. I think H918 T-Mobile US version is the best for custom ROM community, right? Or are other Single SIM variants if rooted as good as the H918 variant?
Anyway I will not buy the Dual SIM variant.

Yes you damn right
Single SIM is for developers ONLY
If you can wait one or two month then,
1st and best option is :
International Single SIM :
LG H990 V20 TD-LTE / H990TR
If you can not wait , then
2nd option :
H918 T-Mobile US
both can be rooted in the near future
do as you wish
I must sleep now
The notion "wait a couple of months" is the most optimistic statement I've read on this topic. Dev's aren't big fans with LG and the ones who are, are typically working on the smaller market SINGLE sim phones like the T-mobile in the US. Root may never come along to the dual sim variant/s and that is just one of the reasons more of the "in the know" type phone users probably WON'T buy this phone. The dev community for LG dual is dead...yet I'm not sure why, this is where more of its USERS are.

Unfortunately I found this thread too late recommending against the dual sim H990DS.
I have one now and it's too late. I needed a dual sim phone as I carry a work phone and a personal phone and was tired or carrying two phone the whole time. I've had my eye on V20 for quite a while now and was excited to see it had all the specs I wanted including dual sim and MicroSD.
Does anyone think there will be a root for this device? I've always rooted my devices and for a number of reasons. Hearing that there may not be root for this model has made me reconsider my purchase.
Any idea guys?
Soon or Later LG will release unlock method for H990DS, I dont care about yet, lets Cyanogen mature on single sim V20s then move to dual Sim when Unlock is available.

Thank you for the quick reply AcostaJA. That is very reassuring.
Once I know there will be an unlock eventually I can live with that. I don't upgrade my devices very often so the idea of being stuck on stock for that duration was making me crazy.
I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod and look forward to their V20 release.
Thank you again!

Interesting list there. The F800K shipped with an unlockable bootloader like the H918?
"Dirty Santa"'s contributions are the F800L, H910, LS997 and VS995 currently. The other V20s are likely to be cracked open soon.

My my, you dislike dual-SIM phones so badly? Currently the H99DS has a AU$2015 (roughly US$1450) bounty, but there isn't yet an organized bounty for the H990 (though there are some disorganized folks who are offering). I imagine both will get broken in the same timeframe (not much more difficult to break both at the same time than just one).

They may in fact do that. So far Dirty Santa has only been applied to 4 devices, but most of what was done is pretty general and I imagine the rest of the V20 devices will follow soon. My fear is someone in LG management will say "Hmm, that merely encouraged them, don't be so lenient this time!" and they won't do so and be a PITA.

V20 H990 Single SIM
CAN be Rooted in near future
H990DS Dual SIM
Im not sure in near future
The V10 dual sim (H962) did get root, but to my knowledge, the bootloader never got unlocked. It'll probably be the same situation for the V20.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3500184
Seems like not root for us.
The thread does not include the h990.
Bummer.....

Take a look at the message right above, on that thread notice this message.
The more interesting question at this point is bootloader unlock. Given how generalized the Dirty Santa technique is, I'm pretty sure unlocking the H990DS bootloader is merely a matter of a little bit of time.
The lack of a bootloader unlock for the H990 so far is the reason I haven't got one.
The US996 is missing three bands that are used where I live (band 1, 28 and 40). But if the bands can be unlocked I'd consider getting one.

H990TR ?
Kardeş uzun süredir takip ediyorum bir hareket göremedim TR yi gören cevap vermiyor zaten @ahmetoguz8
Guess it is past time to add a mention on this thread (in case anyone subscribed and didn't notice other threads). Took a while, but root is available for the H990. The major limitation is it requires a publicly known KDZ which is old enough to allow DirtyCOW to inject the unlocked bootloader. H990DS and H990N have been shown to work, though the root isn't 100% stable (there are miscellaneous reports of difficulties and the procedure is complex). This includes bootloader unlock, so you can do pretty much anything you want.
The oldest H990TR KDZ is January 10, which is a few weeks too late. Someone might try it, but I'd give poor odds of success. I'd give good odds if a 10a-10d was known, but no one has pointed towards one.

Yes. The method is quite complex, but does work. There are a few reports of camera difficulty, but most people appear not to have any problems other than the instructions being complex.

I have successfully rooted and everything works except voLTE. So i am trying to flash another Indian firmware via LGUP. So do i need to follow the "Going back to stock:" instruction from the rooting thread ? Or should just flash the firmware via LGUP ?
Copying my question from the n00b thread.
Hi Guys,
I recently got a H990 DS and I'm loving it. I was wondering if root is possible for it? The Android patch level states June 1, 2017 and the build is NRD90M.
Thanks!

And funny enough, you look at the source of the information and an answer is readily available. That build can't be dealt with, but for most H990 devices earlier KDZ files are available, so downgrading the image allows the root process to proceed. Afterwords getting back to a current image isn't yet a science, but is doable.
I have bought a Hong Kong Version LG-H990N V20 mobile Phone (i.e. Dual SIM Card Version). I have seen a lot of root method for those US Versions but it seems no one has use this version and no one talk about how to root this model. I want to know whether the root method for those US versions can be applied to all V20 models or just for the specified model only? Are there any root method for Hong Kong Version. Thanks.

Wasn't the Hong kong version supposed to have unlocked bootloader?
The hong kong version does not support unlock bootloader. That is why i want to know whether there is another way to unlock it and root it.
I'm also waiting for root for this same Hong Kong model. BTW, how is your battery life. Mine goes for just 6-8 hours. 8 Hours on weekends and just 6 hours on weekday. I wanted to root so that i can save battery by disabling system apps and use root for Greenify, non-root version helps little bit only.
Dear all,
I found the root method for LG V20 H990N. Please go to the following web site and have a look at it:-
http://www.androidinfotech.com/2 ... al-nougat-twrp.html
The correct link are as follows:-

Hi, I want to root my h990n too. Are u succeed to root it?
Before I root it, it is said that I have to unlock the bootloader. Pls refer ww.androidinfotech.com/2016/12/root-lg-v20-h990n-dual-nougat-twrp.html
But LG official site developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703 say that this model does not support bootloader unlock.
Anyone try unlock the bootloader of h990n?
Same situation

I wanna root my H990N too...

Yup, playing a game can kill the battery in 1 hour. Look up Lemon battery * http://zerolemon.com/product-category/lg/v20/ * - That's what I'm planning when I have the money. You get a pretty huge phone but it keeps more juice
One could also get the ekstra battery or more with the charger iv seen it on Amazon.
so does this method actually work reliably?

I don't see anything which even claims to be able to root a H990N.
What does work is the H990 DirtySanta. This root method does involve replacing the kernel and we're now finding kernel bugs. Yet the method does in fact work.
So any news on this?
Did anyone try that website thing for unlocking the mobile?

No, you can't.
Even if you could do that it wouldn't allow you to unlock the bootloader, it's not the firmware, but the id and imei that identifies the device.
@KiLLau96 i dont know how you have the tolerance to answer question about DS G6's every second day. I get frustrated repeatedly reading the same question that have been answered a million times. PS I'm a DS owner.
