I picked up my new baby 2 days ago. I will not perform any sketchy operations on this brand new G5. Not until there's root and TWRP will I consider anything besides approved, OEM updates - it's way too early for that stuff. It takes 6 months to a year for those things to maure enough for me to be comfortable.

I was hoping to get mine in a week or so.
But the whole Bootloader crab is pushing me to s7 or maybe htc 10.
Just gotta sell my h815 and h812.
Maybe Canadian telcos will drop a few bugs
Im not spending 400$ for a s7 edge on a two year renewal. In Germany there 0 on a two year.
What a ****ed up system canada has.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to flash this using LG up or LG flash tool using download mode. Any suggestions or is it not possible yet.
EDIT
Never mind figured it out that you have to use the VZW software utility to restore the KDZ.

Any idea where to download the VZW software utility? Didn't have luck on VZW site!

Connect your phone to your PC then switch the USB connection type to Software Installation by swiping down on the status bar and selecting the option that says" tap to change USB connection". Once you do that a new CD Drive will pop up in My Computer with an LG logo. Double click that and then run the VZwsoftwareupdate exe. Profit
I see, so having a T-Mobile device will make me not able to use the VZW software to flash the Verizon KDZ on my T-Mobile? Could you maybe share the .exe execution file of the software so that we can give it a try
Thanks

Yeah i have been doing some readings, and GSM T-Mobile wont accept the CDMA Verizon KDZ. This will brick the device. I am in square zero now Any idea how to overcome the T-MObile Sim Lock?
As per this video, T-Mobile GSM working on the Sprint device! So would be is possible for the Verizon ROM work on the T-Mobile device ?

The Verizon variant of the LG G5 is factory unlocked per FCC network access requirements for the 700mhz spectrum of LTE. Which is what he is using. A Verizon device. Not a T-Mobile or Sprint device. This Verizon KDZ will only work on Verizon devices. You have to use LG Bridge to restore your phone.
anyone tried to extract the LG G5 kdz file? I can not merge the sysmtem.img file.

Any chance I can root?

HI. The LG H918 10P OTA Update.zip has started pushing out. I received it on my phone last night. Can somebody provide a link to the LG KDZ for this update? I want to get on making a stock flashable zip ASAP.
Warning Note: this new update is anti rollback V1 so if you have root DO NOT take the update or you will lose root!
Thanks in advance!

I wonder if 10N was about to be rolled out then was aborted in favor of 10P. Strange since the Android version itself on both remain on the 7.0 branch. Hopefully the full fledge 10P build will emerge so devs can incorporate any fixes and what not into ROMs.
Edit: Looking at LG's kernel source distro looks like we also missed out on 10O as well as that's up right now. No kernel source as of now for 10P.

You must be new to LG. They stay on the same point release as the phone was released with with all updates. Okay only when they update to the next version of Android does the version number change.

Until you posted this I swore at least the G6 and some of their recent lower tier phones were on 7.1.1 but alas they too are on 7.0 as well. So yeah the next major push LG will do is probably to whatever Android O will be (which is 8.0 the last I heard).

If your bootloader is unlocked can you try this:
https://www.howtogeek.com/240047/how-to-flash-twrp-recovery-on-your-android-phone/
Earlier H918 bootloaders (10d etc) did not have the FLASH command built in if I remember correctly. Maybe LG threw us a bone and included it in this bootloader.
Let me know. If would be great news.

If you do what my previous post says make sure as soon as you get into twrp that you FORMAT data and system (you will lose all data but it will unencrypt the rom) and flash the 10p stock rom, modem, and bootloader. If you don't, you may get a boot loop. You might get one anyway, this is risky. But you already unlocked your bootloader so it's obvious you are down for a little risk lol
God's speed sir. This could be huge

Have not seen this yet on my AT&T S8+. This is not Oreo Beta on page 1, its Version 7.0

I'm seeing software update 12/10/17

Guys I just noticed my phone downloading the software update. When I click on it it doesn't give my any info of what it is. As soon as it finishes the download I'll followup.
Does anyone know if LG pushed out an update for unlocked v20 and if so is it Oreo or just 7.1.1
I hope it's Oreo ?
But honestly I hope it's a good functioning update.
LG has a lot to improve.
I'll followup.
Ok so that update is the security update only.
Not any os update as I hoped....?, Not even 7.1.1
LG thank you ... I have made up my mind.
.... Don't think I'll be sticking with LG for my next phone. ?
What model, and what is the version number now?

If you can't afford one then make the best of the v20 instead of complaining about updates.
Before I apply the update, my biggest questions are:
- What's the Changelog?
- Does this fix the Dirty Cow vulnerability that allow us to root?

I'm with you on that. Sent an email to LG a few weeks ago stating just that. It took them a whole year for a security update on my US996.

If I'm going to get a phone that isn't well supported for updates but has true functionality, I'll stick with Galaxy note series ....
Google pixel unless they produce a note type stylus I'll pass although I did think about it.
Pixel maybe... Don't know. Let's see if it's discounted.
I think HTC is the only manufacture that started to be good with updates with their later flagship phones. I would even consider HTC before I consider LG again for phones.
Are LG V20 US996 unlocked phones still rootable after the US99610n update?
Would someone who has aleady accepted the newest update be so kind as to check and post the current ARB on their phone?

1. Security update to one of the November patch sets.
2. This is the us996 unlocked that can be bootloader unlocked through LGs website and never needed dirtycow. AFAIK LGs unlocking processes should work fine. If for whatever reason you wanted to use dirtycow anyway its still possible to revert to the previous version since they didn't increment arb.

Hi,
In particular, I wanted to know if this update includes fixes for the KRACK and blueborne vulnerabilities. Do you know where I could find a changelog?
Also, if I do the OTA update do you know if it's going to wipe out TWRP? If so, I might what to wait for a zip file that I can install with TWRP from dimm0k or McNutnut:

it includes those fixes since its at Nov 6 security patch ( Nov 6 exactly has the KRACK fix, while blueborne was fixed in the September patch). I expect taking the ota will wipe twrp however.

Mine is a US Unlocked 9960, purchased online.. After today's security update (and researching what an ARB is, and how to access it) my ARB (Anti Rollback Version) number remains 0.

I agree, missing headphone jack is also a deal breaker for me.
For those who have rooted US996's, this thread has links to TWRP flashable images and instructions on how to install them which won't overwrite the the recovery partition as an OTA might do:
