My understanding is that you'll have to downgrade to root, look for the dirty santa thread after you downgraded to root

I don't think the 995 has had arb incremented, you'll will have to downgrade to a version Dec 2016 security patch

Question about BOG5

If my buddy got a refurbished and it's version 5.0.1 BOG5, it can't be rooted and unlocked? Or can it? searching with no luck. All the guides don't say what version it is.

Thanks,
I updated my guide HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...bilized-process-to-unlock-bootloader-t3375527 to say N910VVRU2BPA1 but I think, at this time, it will work with any version. HOWEVER, Future OTA updates may block this exploit.

Well after I bricked mine from a bad Rom install and no back up would work. I didn't want to mess with a phone that wasn't mine. I was to frustrated. Now I know it is possible and after getting sleep I'll probably do it this week.

LG V20 (VS995) Unlocked. Any way to update to Oreo?

As the title says, I was wondering if there's a way to update to Oreo on an unlocked phone. Or will I have to root it?
Currently using PagePlus as the carrier.
Thanks.

I tried this and it said no updates available.
The VZW Utility Application has a security update available (I'm currently on Dec 2016.) I'm assuming this has nothing to do with an OS update?

Probably not, but if you can take that update it would be a good idea. If you don't get the Oreo ota you'll have to wait for a kdz or a stock zip.

Everybody is looking for a way.. Your best bet is research and waiting.. I'm looking at older methods and also the g6 method.

AFAIK, there's no roor exploit available for lg v20 oreo yet. You can try flashing alpha omega rom oreo. VS995 is one of their supported devices.

First you'll need to downgrade, root via dirty santa, then flash the patched oreo rom or alpha rom version

ARB hasn't been incremented on the 996

Does that mean that I can try 20f and go back to 10d if it uses too much battery?
