Did u unlock bootloader using this method?
mingkee said:
You can do this:
Make sure you backup your data with LG Backup to memory card.
Enable Developer Options (hit build numbers in about phone few times).
Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging.
When hooking up with your host computer, check the phone screen to allow your host computer.
Open cmd
Locate your adb platform-tools folder
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock (doing such will erase your phone)
fastboot getvar unlock
fastboot boot TWRP.img (if you have compatible TWRP)

I guess he's just priming the pump for the inevitable hundreds of threads asking if the bootloader is unlocked or the "HELP!!! I'VE BRICKED MY PHONE AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!" threads from the morons for whom reading is not fundamental.
Since the bootloader is unlocked, is it safe to assume at some point we will have root?
Are you able to use fastboot commands? Such as to write a new recovery img. After that getting root is usually a piece of cake.
Not sure if it's different in Nougat but I think with an unlocked bootloader it really is just a matter of time till we get what we want (root).
As a piece of reference on the T-Mobile G5 we were able to root the G5 only after getting a .TOT with TWRP as the recovery because T-Mobile had somehow removed all the fastboot commands on that device except fastboot OEM unlock. If that is the case with the V20 we need talk to @tungkick again to manufacture another .TOT for us again.

Yes I think so from my previous experience this is almost always the case.
With the V10 a user @tungkick created a .tot with root (SuperSU) patched into it. Then use LGUP to flash the .tot.
Once that is done flashing TWRP can be flashed using Flashfire by Chainfire.
Or instead of patching root maybe the .tot can be modified to have TWRP built in...?
Nvm...didnt read the previous comments.
Well. Someone in androiding.how is keeping track seems like it. According to what i read, quoting
"The root method for LG V20 will be a systemless root without doubt. Android Nougat comes with enhanced enforcing SELinux policy for better security on Android devices, so systemless root will be the way to go to get root access without compromising the device’s security."
So, if this is true, at least there is a path to follow.

Systemless root is almost becoming the default now. And if we have TWRP is pretty much just flashing the systemless root and that's it. In the recent past systemless root has not been a problem.

Confirmed: Fastboot flash commands do not work similar to T-Mobile LG G5. Successfully unlocked bootloader though so that is also confirmed for the 2nd time.

Sprint bl seems to be locked atm
Not sure if this means anything - but there is the oem unlock in developer options on sprint.
I'm wanting to update from a note 4 to the LG V20 but I don't need another phone I can't root... So is there anyone with a root out for this phone... I'm dying for a new phone with root capability... I would greatly appreciate it..
anyone? I have an ATT LGV20 and just want to know if I can root it somehow? Does it have to be "unlocked" first?

Look in the ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries & Other Developments. The AT&T variant is the H910 - so there is currently a bootloader unlock & root method available for it. (I have the H910 and am unlocked & rooted )
Twisted
I didn't think that the H910 was bootable yet. I don't see anything in the Roms section. Only stuff for the H918.
Edit
Actually I'm CONFIDENT that it isnt rootable yet!

I'm confident you need glasses
Root was obtained for the AT&T H910 a week ago and the thread is the most popular one in the roms section. So you need to look again, or do a search for "[LS997|VS995|H910|F800L] DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide"

I use the XDA app, and all I was able to see were H918 roms. I've heard of the DirtySanta unlock though, but wasn't aware that it was for the H910 now too. And if it's only a week old, then that's still brand new.
Hello,
First, sorry for the bad english
I recently received the LG V20 H990ds and i wanted to root him
I follow this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296
But, now the phone doensn't start, he is in bootloop
I put back the backup and now the bootloader is locked and I no longer have TWRP
I tried to flash .kdz with LGUP but the program tell me "unknown model". Also, LG Flash Tool does not work
http://imgur.com/MjBxEEK
How can i flash the .kdz for back to stock ? Please, Help me
Thanks
There is not root for H990ds variant.

This has kind of put me off rooting it. The first phone ive heard of that rooting it causes to break some standard functionality.

This is dependent on which kernel you flash. In @emdroidle 's thread about root coming for the H990DS there's a bunch of different ones with various fixes. I'm personally using the Jahlex v0.2d and video works fine, as does camera focus.
Is there any root yet for H918 10p if so... Please direct me to it asap lol. If not I might have to warranty exchange and then root or wait.. Thanks guys!
10p currently can not be rooted. There are some thoughts and ideas floating around, but more than likely another Linux kernel exploit will need to be found. Also, just an FYI, T-Mobile incremented the ARB version for 10p, so don't try to force an older version to flash -- that will blow the qfuse, and that is a hardware issue that can't be fixed without replacing the CPU.

Yea its trye
My first Android phone was an HTC EVO 4G (the original WiMAX version). The first one that I got had an HBOOT with S-ON (locked bootloader). Reading on here, I found out that there were versions with an older HBOOT that had S-OFF, so I carted my butt down to the Sprint store and didn't even make up a story. I told them flat out what I wanted, and since I was still within the window of being able to cancel my contract, they took me back and let me look at the boxes that they had. I found one with the proper version, opened it up, verified that it was truly S-OFF and that was it.
Now, that was back in 2012 and things have changed since then. But if you just bought the phone, take it back and tell them exactly what you want. The LG V20 box has the software version that is installed on the UPC sticker.

Nah my man I've had it since day one I'll just wait till September. 28 for the V30 or when ever it comes out.
I rooted soon as I got the phone... Then the USB port over heated and melted so I sent it in for repair. Came back with 10p on it.... Mfer..

Brian,
I'm not sure what version of the V20 you have, but I've got the H918 and I'm running 10p rooted with Magisk. I started with SuperSU, but wanted to start over and try out a systemless root. Real simple steps too..
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash SuperSU or Magisk
3. Root achieved.
I attached a couple of screenshots. How easy LG phones are to unlock the bootloader and flash root is the reason why I always buy LG phones, not Samsung.
Cheers!
Can't flash an su method if you can write to the boot partition (twrp)

So no way possible to root then? My V20 is running H91810k and I have been looking for a way to root it but moments ago it turn off by it self on 13% and the update for 10p was in schedule....
Guess Im out of luck if when it turn on update itself.
@joesee You were on stock 10p? If so, how did you flash TWRP so that you could flash SuperSU? fastboot flash recovery does not work with 10p.

Don't know where you get your information from, but a qfuse will never be triggered with oem unlock on. and all it is is a warranty bit. just states that your warranty is void to the manufacturer.
They do have an anti-rollback counter but that is something totally different than a qfuse.

He probably rooted with original build out of the box firmware and installed a rooted 10p via twrp
Has an ARB system ever been rooted?
I'm new to LG anti roll back.
We have a quasi-root with 10P, if starting from 10J.

They only upped the ARB number because DirtyCow was fixed. Likely wont up it again until the next root is patched.
Doubt there is a way to mess with KDZ's to be able to make them flash. someone would have done it already.
Hi,im using a couple phone,ip8 and an LG G4 LS991,i love lg but things that i hate is this g4 is the bootloader cant be unlock coz my device antirollback was v4 and i cant root or modifying the phone.
Looking for a month but many thread say the v4 cant be bootloader unlocked.
So...
I want buy a brand new LG V20 or a Refurbish one,but thing that i want to know,is there a version of the V20 that the bootloader cant be unlock and have a antirollback version like the LG G4 LS991???
Please answer me,your ans very helpful,after solved ill delete the thread.
Huge Thanks.
Whatever you do, don't EVER buy a phone from Sprint. You really should stay away from ALL carriers, but if you must buy a carrier branded phone -- T-Mobile is the only choice.
For now, the LS997 (Sprint V20) is the only model that can't be rooted.
