I'm not well versed in this realm of rooting, but I've rooted my V20 (H918) and I'd like to update to the latest version possible and not lose root. I think it involves using some kdz file or something and flashing that, is that right? Let me know, thank you.
Wrong, you have to use this @runningnak3d tutorial to go back to root...but so far, even if you are on H91010T, you can roll back and root. ARB has not yet been implemented on this phone, so you're good to use any rooting method you see fit in this forum. Enjoy!

I think you may be responding to the wrong thread? I wasn't asking how to root, I've already rooted my phone. Also, I said I have a H918, not a H91010T.

Oops!!!! LOL! That darn 8 looked like a 0! My bad, bro! LOL. Late night!!!
You can use kdz writter to upgrade to kdz with new security updates. You will not lose root.

do not use anything kdz to flash... you will lose root! you need to flash a TWRP flashable zip to update and keep root

I don't know what version of H918 you're on now, but if I'm not mistaken 10k is the last one that you can still mess up and still get root back by downgrading to an earlier version, root and then upgrade. any version after 10k will increment ARB to 1 whereby you will not be able to get root if you lose it. that said, the latest version out now is 10s and if you have root then you should also have TWRP. here's my guide for updating to the latest versions while keep root https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312. looking at this now, I haven't posted the 10s update file, which I will do now... keep in mind that if you update to 10s that if you lose TWRP you'll be fscked and stuck without root, which at this point could be permanently.
EDIT: 10s is a go! original post updated with link. also removing the older versions from Google Drive to free up space... if they're still needed, PM

Hey, I followed the instructions per your thread and successfully installed 10s and kept root! The bad news is that I did a factory reset immediately after and now it keeps bootlooping into TWRP. Any idea how to fix this? Sadly I didn't make a backup because my microsd card was too small and I didn't have the patience to wait til tomorrow and go out and buy one, really hope I didn't kick myself in the ass and brick my phone. :crying:
Edit:
I was able to find a fix by following these instructions:
"I had this happen to me after installing TWRP for the first time. It would keep rebooting to TWRP. This was after making sure I flashed SuperSU as well. Eventually in a moment of "might as well see what will happen" I rebooted then held down the power button and volume down. Got to the option if I wanted to factory reset my phone which I did which booted into TWRP. Rebooted to system from there which got me out of the TWRP Bootloop."
I also set my phone up again and can confirm that 10s is still good with root! Thanks for the guide and work, man. Much appreciated!

U need to downgrade back to 10o and contact att for the q update. When you have the q update installed use the manual root method for 10o from autoprime. Skip adb step 5. Once rooted take the kitkat update and root will stick.
Thanks for the reply but that sounds like too much work. I'll just wait for an easier method. Thank you

even the s3 wasnt all that great.my wife got one i touched it for about 10min. instantly got rid of it. nothing spectacular.
I rooted mine on 4.2 via kingoapp.com. Root stayed with the 4.4.2 update but if it didn't I was going back to Kingo to root again. I've rooted 4 different phones with it, the last being a T-Mobile Nexus 5 with KitKat and it's always worked fast and easy. Some people bad mouth it but it works for me.
Just read that LG is planning on monthly updates for security reasons....
http://phandroid.com/2015/08/06/lg-...ey-too-will-release-monthly-security-updates/
Wish I didn't unlock? Or are we going to have those patches here available?
They better should enable bootloader unlocking for everyone.
Then each LG user can flash his own ROM and solve security issues very quickly with the community.
Nice announcement, but the stagefrighter hole is gaping and gaping...

you have unlocked the bootloader, so you have a custom recovery and could of course install any rom .
Sure at the moment there are not a lot roms available, but the official ones are however posted...
beside that, i don't think that unlocking the bootloader (and rooting the phone) will disable the OTA feature...

the bootloader itself does not change anything to the OTA process
but changing the recovery may block the OTA from working ... the phone may download the update but the custom recovery may not understand it :silly:

Yeah they couldn't OTA as they had rooted, not because they had unlocked their bootloader.
OTA are still made available to people with unlocked bootloaders, just not to people who have rooted. At the end of the day you can just find the KDZ and flash it to update or make an update zip to do it from custom recovery.

That might be right, but as they said a simple unroot wouldn't work.
And BTW what is the point in unlocking the bootloader when you don't want to root?
I mean custom rom maybe but they are usually rooted as well for obvious reasons etc.

Alright so I have a problem with the touch functionality of my phone. I have an LG G4 811 T-mobile variant. The new update is supposed to resolve that but I'm not sure how to update on a rooted device with twrp installed (update stagefrieght). I'm looking for a zip file and i have not managed to find it at all. Could someone help? Also if this is misplaced please devs move it or point me in the right direction to which my question can be answered.

Yes, it worked perfectly fine for my LG G4 H815 unlocked! Now on V10d-EUR-XX. Stagefright is fixed. ****ing sim issue (com.android.phone crashes, does NOT restart itself) remains. Support is worthless. Found a workaround myself.
LG lied about that updates. They never repaired these bugs and now it has About 50 stagefright etc vurnerabilities.
What updates you say? I'm still on V20D since January LoL LG is a joke.

Hi all,
I'm on the LG G4, UK version, rooted. I'm getting a prompt to update to:
V20g-JUL-20-2016
This does not seem to work with TWRP. Can I flash it manually, and if so - is THIS the file to flash like THIS? Can I do it without wiping all the data?
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
I do not think you can flash it with TWRP. Why don't you use a custom ROM based on it? Whatever method you use to write that KDZ, you will lose root and the custom recovery. You have to wait for a TWRP flashable zip version, if it will ever be available.
For LG G3 was some kind of software with you can transform kdz file in a zip flashable file. Maybe it is a version for lg g4 also or maybe works for lg g4 ...

Hi,
You can do this :
- Get LGUP software and V20d kdz.
-Flash KDZ with "update" option checked in LGUP.
-Reboot your phone, you shoud have all your apps and settings.
-Launch the OTA update to v20g, boot on v20G.
-Reinstall recovery & root and enjoy
Assuming you can install a custom recovery on a unlocked bootloader G4, the list that @Aimixess gave should be the one to use for every official update. I did not root mine yet and I will probably not root it for a long time (because of the issues that could appear).

After 8 months of waiting I have lost all my hope. Rooting and and upgrading remain complicated, time consuming and pretty riskie...
I guess the phone is not popular enough and there are not enough serious developers interested in this phone.
And now the phone is also getting pretty old. I don't think the situation will improve.

I agree. Rooting is complicated. It's got hardware issues. Mine experienced the dreaded motherboard overheating where it would just bootloop and it had to be sent for repair. However, it's still a great phone.

You should already have an unlocked bootloader.
So basically you flash latest TWRP think it was TWRP-3.0.2-H815. Then boot into twrp recovery and install latest supersu UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323. Clear cache and dalvik. Done.
Here is a pretty thorough guide, just use latest twrp and supersu. (I dont recommend xposed and viper due to higher risk of bricking your phone.)

go to the root thread, follow the instructions and give it a shot. That's really the best way to find out...just make sure you have the APK1 firmware on standby in case it doesn't turn out well.

Pretty much this. Backup files you don't want to lose, download the stock Odin files, and give rooting a shot. Worst case, you just gotta flash stock back via Odin. You may be able to flash an earlier firmware via Odin and root from there. Though I doubt Odin would let you. If I were you, I'd download all the applicable files, backup my data, wait until I've got a good chink of time ithat I don't need my phone and start playing around with it. I had all sorts of complications rooting mine s{ I was phone-less for like an hour

I'm still trying to learn the nomenclature....so, i'm assuming by the PK1 one part of the version that it is new than PI3?
Just wasn't sure about UUE part. Sorry, noob in this dept.
But, wanted to at least share that I had successful root with OP baseband.
Now to figure out how to make the battery last more than 10hrs and respond a little quicker.
The V15 fix hasn't seem to do much in comparison to stock OTA.
Hope this helps.

(for the others that may not know too)
The last three characters of the release are the ones that matter.
* The P indicates the year (P=16th letter of the alphabet, 2016)
* The K indicates the month (K=11th letter of the alphabet, November)
* The 1 represents the release number (to allow for more than one release each month)
Keep in mind that once you flash a newer firmware on the S7, you cannot go back to an older one. Odin will not let you flash it. Even if you could, it would most likely trip the KNOX flag.

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).

you can't I've tried waiting on a 10p root I havn't tired to root yet
Is it possible to flash a rooted 10p kdz? Is there one?
I unlocked the bootloader with 10p and tried root with easyrecowvery and dirtycow. ER will not install twrp successfully and DC hangs at the logcat command.

If your bootloader is unlocked can you try this:

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
