noob to LG Here. Question Does the V# matter when trying to root this device. I am currently on LS997ZV8. I am familiar with root, just not on LG DEVICES. I MISS IT
Yes it does matter. In recent firmware versions, LG has patched the exploit that was being used by Dirty Santa. There is currently no root method available for ZV8.

After Official Kdz i know i need to re root the device and re flash the custom recovery. Is it possible to have these two things?
Many thx
Greetings.
I want to root my G2 and I'm looking through applications/scripts for it and I want to ask with what do I root it?
I have SRK and DP tools, they both offer rooting through ADB, DP tools offer unrooting also.
What are other good options?
And one big question, If I unroot, can I update to stock lolipop OTA?
Since I saw a thread that updating a rooted G2 causes a brick.
Hi, I recently had this new oreo update on my v20. I want to root this device. I am new to understanding how rooting works. Couldn't find any basic guide to understand this process. Can someone please help me root this device, i have H990ds. Thanks!
Basically the root method is rollback to the december 2016 security patch update, do an exploit that installs an engineering bootloader that doesn't care if its locked or unlocked, and use the fastboot mode from said engineering bootloader to flash twrp. Guide for the H990 models is here. Flash a rom like Alpha Omega to get back to a current update.
The only things I'd add to it is replace the twrp from the guide with my current one from this thread and install a newer custom kernel like mk2000 instead of the old one in the guide.
Hi. I have a bought a used lg v20 h990DS and I want to install custom rom like linage OS on it. For that I need to install TWRP recovery. I have searched online and found only dirty santa method which is quite complicated and it requires an old mougat firmware to begin with as far as I can understand. Is there a latest method to install TWRP. If not whats the best method? If someone can explain it in simple words, it would be quite helpful.
Note: I have experience in installing twrp on samsung note 5 and note 8 but lg v20 seems quite complicated

Their is no easy way. Follow the guide and you'll get there.
You should read the Lineage thread though
You loose the second screen the quad dac and the cameras are crap. Rooted stock/debloated is the best for a V20.

I have gone through various xda threads and found that it is not possible install twrp on oreo stock rom on lg v20. You havve to start with the dirty santa method and you can update it the latest version of nougat with it using kdz. The only way to install orea is to instal an oreo zip file through TWRP with nougat bootloader. Is that true for lg v20 h990DS?
That's true, here's one such stock Oreo zip
I have a LG V20 910 (att version) that has never been flashed and last security patch was March 2017. Roll back is allowed. I am trying to install TWRP. I am currently looking over the guides mentioned in this forum. Is there anything new I should be aware of?
