Yes. If you use LG Bridge, or take an OTA, your phone will be locked and there may not be a way to root it again.

Hi
I recently buy this LG V20 H910PR. The phone is awesome but the Claro firmware sucks. Can I update the firmware with the latest one in lg-firmwares.com?
The phone firware is: V10J-CLR-PR, build number NRD90M, Android security patch level December 1 2016, the one in lg-firmwares.com is H910PR10j_00_1205.kdz.
I want to know if I can install this to my V20.

Hi. Did ypu flash it already?
What's the difference?
I got a software update today from LG. Anybody know what is in this update? Software version is US99717a. Android version is still 7.0, so it is obviously not Oreo.

Hi,
I got my LG V20 (LS997) today, and I decided to update it. My phone took couple of updates till it reaches the last one. I decided to root my phone then, but I was failed to do so. I got to know that I have to roll back to the ROM which has a security patch before Dec 2016. There are a number of guiding threads here, but the phone is my phone is not rooted, so how am I going to flash those files? Also, LGUP doesn't detect my phone at all. I don't know why.
I think the latest version has anti rollback =1
So you can't rollback.
And there is no root for the latest version of sprint variant of lg v20 as I know.
Lg patch dll
There is a patch lgup dll file that can flash go to the main forum and you will find it

Ahh, so normally you would actually be able to do a rollback, so this is just one more of these Satanic things to make it hard for the user to do whatever he wants with HIS device. I was so sad when I updated to the latest version as it seemed the mobile overall became slower. So had I had the option I would have rollback in an instant.
Hi, I've recently moved on from my ZUK Z2 to V20 and I'm loving this phone. Recently discovered very little-to-none info about my puerto rican V20 though. Its H910PR v10j claro stock rom with 1st December Security Patch.
Can anyone guide me if there is a possiblity to root/TWRP this set with failsafe? I'm just noob to these recent terminologies about ARB/flashing etc for the case of V20. I have had G3 before but this V20 stuff is totally new to me.
Also, if in future, LG releases Oreo for V20, will the claro v20 get it?
Kind regards,
Since you are on the December security patch, you can use the normal DirtySanta root method.
As for getting Oreo, even if Claro doesn't give you Oreo, you will be able to flash the H910 version (if ANY V20 gets Oreo -- I am starting to have my doubts).

Android security patch level: December 1, 2016
Build number: NRD90M
Software version: H91010i
Whenever i try to update the android, it says that there is no further update available. I tried both OTG as well as LG PC suite methods. When i tried searching for security patches on LG site, i got this info that latest patch is from March 2018.
I wanted to know how can i update my phone and why it says that there is no update available, when there is update available as per this LG site
My device is not rooted. I tried to root it earlier to install lineage OS (by following the guide). I am not a tech savvy kind of person at all.
Please help me with this.

Sounds like your previous attempt at root screwed up automatic Ota from your carrier. Your going to need to root and twrp to flash an updated stock rom

Looks like you've the att model, are you actually on ATT? I've seen reports that if the att model doesnt have an ATT sim it wont find updates.

Well it seems so. I tried rooting it with kingoroot and it failed. Then i searched online for rooting solution and came to know that v20 cannot be rooted by these software because the bootloader is locked.. It needs another method (told in forums). Well i didn't try them.
I need some further help in this regards. I have few questions. I hope you can answer them.
1. If i unlock the bootloader and install twrp and then install the stock rom, CAN I INSTALL ANY stock rom, for example, stock rom of international model instead of at&t version?
2. I am using h910 but not with at&t sim. I am on other network. Will installing with official rom (other than at&t version), keep the gsm working>?

You could possibly flash the US996 which is the unlocked version, as far as updates you'll have to check and see if there's updates for it from LG, but the big concern would be determining what bands are available with that variant to see if they are compatible with your carrier, you can also check this forum and see if there's updated 996 roms that you could flash to get the latest security patches. But as the previous poster stated as long as you are on 910 rom and using another carrier's sim you'll never get an update from AT&T
