Is there a root and rom also applicable for the 918DS ?
I'm planning to buy it, but have not found yet a root option explicitly for the 918DS
DOes someone have experiences with a good ROM for this?
Thanks for advice

No such thing as a 918ds, there's a h990ds, and there's an h918. H990ds is an international dual SIM variant, while the H918 is a US T-Mobile (single sim) variant. They're both rootable and both have dedicated threads.

V20 H990 Single SIM
CAN be Rooted in near future
H990DS Dual SIM
Im not sure in near future
The V10 dual sim (H962) did get root, but to my knowledge, the bootloader never got unlocked. It'll probably be the same situation for the V20.

Seems like not root for us.
The thread does not include the h990.
Bummer.....

Take a look at the message right above, on that thread notice this message.
The more interesting question at this point is bootloader unlock. Given how generalized the Dirty Santa technique is, I'm pretty sure unlocking the H990DS bootloader is merely a matter of a little bit of time.
The lack of a bootloader unlock for the H990 so far is the reason I haven't got one.
The US996 is missing three bands that are used where I live (band 1, 28 and 40). But if the bands can be unlocked I'd consider getting one.

H990TR ?
Kardeş uzun süredir takip ediyorum bir hareket göremedim TR yi gören cevap vermiyor zaten @ahmetoguz8
Guess it is past time to add a mention on this thread (in case anyone subscribed and didn't notice other threads). Took a while, but root is available for the H990. The major limitation is it requires a publicly known KDZ which is old enough to allow DirtyCOW to inject the unlocked bootloader. H990DS and H990N have been shown to work, though the root isn't 100% stable (there are miscellaneous reports of difficulties and the procedure is complex). This includes bootloader unlock, so you can do pretty much anything you want.
The oldest H990TR KDZ is January 10, which is a few weeks too late. Someone might try it, but I'd give poor odds of success. I'd give good odds if a 10a-10d was known, but no one has pointed towards one.

Yes. The method is quite complex, but does work. There are a few reports of camera difficulty, but most people appear not to have any problems other than the instructions being complex.

I have successfully rooted and everything works except voLTE. So i am trying to flash another Indian firmware via LGUP. So do i need to follow the "Going back to stock:" instruction from the rooting thread ? Or should just flash the firmware via LGUP ?
Copying my question from the n00b thread.
Hi Guys,
I recently got a H990 DS and I'm loving it. I was wondering if root is possible for it? The Android patch level states June 1, 2017 and the build is NRD90M.
Thanks!

And funny enough, you look at the source of the information and an answer is readily available. That build can't be dealt with, but for most H990 devices earlier KDZ files are available, so downgrading the image allows the root process to proceed. Afterwords getting back to a current image isn't yet a science, but is doable.
I have bought a Hong Kong Version LG-H990N V20 mobile Phone (i.e. Dual SIM Card Version). I have seen a lot of root method for those US Versions but it seems no one has use this version and no one talk about how to root this model. I want to know whether the root method for those US versions can be applied to all V20 models or just for the specified model only? Are there any root method for Hong Kong Version. Thanks.

There is no root for your model. Root right now is achieved only on tmobile and unlocked us996 models

Wasn't the Hong kong version supposed to have unlocked bootloader?
The hong kong version does not support unlock bootloader. That is why i want to know whether there is another way to unlock it and root it.
I'm also waiting for root for this same Hong Kong model. BTW, how is your battery life. Mine goes for just 6-8 hours. 8 Hours on weekends and just 6 hours on weekday. I wanted to root so that i can save battery by disabling system apps and use root for Greenify, non-root version helps little bit only.
Dear all,
I found the root method for LG V20 H990N. Please go to the following web site and have a look at it:-
http://www.androidinfotech.com/2 ... al-nougat-twrp.html
The correct link are as follows:-

Then, have you success to root your LG-H990N V20?
may it cover LG-H990TR single sim variant...???
Hi, I want to root my h990n too. Are u succeed to root it?
Before I root it, it is said that I have to unlock the bootloader. Pls refer ww.androidinfotech.com/2016/12/root-lg-v20-h990n-dual-nougat-twrp.html
But LG official site developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703 say that this model does not support bootloader unlock.
Anyone try unlock the bootloader of h990n?
Same situation
PUSH~
I wanna root my H990N too...

Yup, playing a game can kill the battery in 1 hour. Look up Lemon battery * http://zerolemon.com/product-category/lg/v20/ * - That's what I'm planning when I have the money. You get a pretty huge phone but it keeps more juice
One could also get the ekstra battery or more with the charger iv seen it on Amazon.
so does this method actually work reliably?

I don't see anything which even claims to be able to root a H990N.
What does work is the H990 DirtySanta. This root method does involve replacing the kernel and we're now finding kernel bugs. Yet the method does in fact work.
So any news on this?
Did anyone try that website thing for unlocking the mobile?

Or has there come something in the meantime for successful unlocking it?

H870DS? Nope, no root for this model. Only for the European H870.
Regarding the TWRP thread maybe the dev asked to mods to close it as some users had problems, who knows...
Hello Good evening guys,
I just sold my Nexus 6 and looking at LG V20. I usually customize and flash ROMs. I am looking at two different LG V20 models.
1) South Korean F800
2) Unlocked USA models (VS995, US996, H918)
3) Any European model? (Do they have great ROM support?)
I want to make sure that phone is able to unlock bootloader, root, and have great custom ROM support. Which model is best suitable for me?
Thank you and sorry for creating a new thread. I searched info but couldn't find much details.
I believe a big factor is the patch level... right now mine is on 10R which I believe is un-rootable.

H918 would be the best bet. Just patch lvl is what will kill you. Need anything below 10P

Is downgrade possible on F800L April 2017 patch with F800L10y build?
Hi, want to buy a used LG v20 but i want to make sure it will be able to root it and custum it....
for now i buy a lgv20 only 50$ on ebay but it's locked and with US cellular... so i cant do nothing with it.... so i think i should buy another one... but wich one... this is the question...
i would like to have the root function, the FM function activated... the multi user activated... for now nothing of that is possible with the lgv 20 US cellular
thx
Someone posted on this forum recently that you CAN get OFFICIAL bootloader unlock from LG on US Cellular. Try it!
I have the same question. Is there a preferred model for the V20? I was thinking of getting an unlocked US996 model, primarily for audio/video use with no sim. I would, however, like it to work with AT&T as a backup to my iPhone. I know it uses the same nano-sim format. Of course I would like to root, etc as safely as possible. I haven't bought it yet, so advise is very welcome and appreciated.
I understand the US996 can get official bootloader unlock directly from LG.

The unlocked US996 is by far the easiest to root and will work on AT&T, but you won't get VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling if those matter to you. Only the AT&T-branded H910 will have those working.

Thank you for responding!!!
Rooting is more important for me as I don't plan on using it as my primary phone anyway. Sound like US996 is the way to go if you like to play with custom ROMs, etc.
