Hi everyone, little update here we have Root for either 5.0.2 or 5.1.1.
If you still on LP 5.0.2 you can safely root your Device using LG One Click Root or Kingroot and if you are using T-mobile (H631) or Metro (MS631) you can safely flash Custom Recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.0 Thanks @Unjustified Dev) and flash the LP 5.1.1 Flashable ZIP (thanks @GameTheory )
NOTE: There is no Custom Recovery for Boost Variant neither KDZ file yet.
NOTE 2: If you take the OTA or Update using LG Software (Tmo and Metro) you'll get LOCK Bootloader but no wories there after Rooting using new 5.1.1 Method you can safely Unlock Bootloader by going under "Developers Options" and check " Enable OEM Unlock " and flash Custom Recovery using Flashify (THIS ONLY WORKS FOR T-MOBILE AND METRO)
NOTE 3: if you are on LP 5.0.2 or LP 5.1.1 just go CLICK HERE to Root, Install Custom Recovery and/or get Flashable LP 5.1.1 Update
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS IMPORTANT/ WARNING.
I recommend using the KDZ file is if your Device is UNRECOVERABLE, Reason why b'cuz once you restore your phone using this KDZ you'll loose having the Bootloader Unlock and ability to Root so TAKE THIS AS LAST RESOURCE.
NOTE : This Process Will WIPE your device including device internal storage. (External SDCard are safe)

I used the LG bridge to bring back from a soft brick. I clicked on the update error recovery.
I guess another method to recover. If anyone needs it.

That's good to know....have question for you:
1- will this process doesn't update you device if you are on 5.0.2 to 5.1.1?
2. Were you root? Or trying to root?
3. What happend when you got soft-brick?

1- will this process doesn't update you device if you are on 5.0.2 to 5.1.1?- correct it processes the update to 5.1.1 if there is an error when you root you can use it but will get locked boot loader. Which is better then a dead phone.
2. Were you root? Or trying to root? I was on 5.1.1 tried kingroot got a soft brick.
3. What happend when you got soft-brick?

it only booted up to lg screen and stayed there. However the lg bridge was able to recognize the phone and preform the recovery.
I called T-Mobile and complained of issues withphone and got a warranty exchange $5 received my phone yesterday it was on 5.0.2 running CM 12 by Unjustified... Its smooth.

well i can verify that none of the LG tools work for the Boost variant and still no KDZ file
I accepted the OTA to 5.1.1 on my Stylo, is there a way to root it at all? been searching all over and found nothing hopefully a root method and bootloader unlock method for us running 5.1.1 will be avilable. thanks again for the info!

The updates as of now seem to lock the bootloader even on T-MOBILE...and for me all the Boost devices I've owned were either unlocked or had a workaround but not this one :/

When recover using KDZ (latest version) does lock the Bootloader, but with T-mobile and Metro can be easy unlock by just checking OEM Unlock un developers option , Boost and other variant don't have this luxury of Unlocking Bootloader.

Is there any restrictions if I Root and then use the Phone later to trade for upgrade? Seeing as how the warranty is void I am thinking I will be stuck...

You can Restore using KDZ if you have one, That will erase any trace of root and custom recovery.
I have been using the v20 us996 for several months now, and it works quite well, but the last update received was back in January, and was curious to know about OTA firmware updates. Mine is still on the December 2106 update and after doing some research I found that some of the US996 phorne received an OTA update sometime in April. Is there a way to force my phone to receive the OTA update?
Or would I have to flash a KDZ of whatever the latest firmware is?
If u use the latest firmware you can't root it

I believe the firmware the OP is referencing is U.S. Cellular v10h. I've seen users on Reddit running v10h on the US996 Unlocked with root and no issue.
How did you draw the conclusion that v10h precludes root on the 996?
I'm running 10f stock on factory unlocked US996 with root and all. No issues whatsoever.

Edit: just realized that the US Cellular version is newer in spite of an earlier publishing date. Nevermind.
Alright boys, let me tell you my story.
I have a LGH915 Freedom Mobile Version. And the rooting process looks like way too much work.
I went and bought a US996 and successfully rooted with Magisk.
Unlocked the bootloader
Rooted US995
Installed Alpha ROM 8.0 and converted my US996 to VS995.
I played around with Magisk and got stuck in a boot loop only going to TWRP, tried to restore my backup and didn't work.
Found the US996 kdz file and tried to flash with LGUP and it said my model is VS995 so it didn't work. Downloaded the VS995 kdz and flashed it.
Thankfully back to stock ROM but now my phone thinks its a VS995.
Now I'm not sure if my bootloader is unlocked still unlocked now or locked. I no longer have TWRP & I cannot flash back to US996 kdz.
Tried to root/unlock VS995 but I got denied
There is no OEM Unlock
I turned on USB Debugging
Was following HighonAndroid's Root Verizon LG V20 method and got stuck on
"applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta"
Screen stuck on: https://imgur.com/a/kcHPNt8
I would say permission denied and I can't go on further.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Oh well you play with fire ? you get burned should have waited for the LG 996 oreo release sometime in January
Do a search for patched LGUP and read carefully, it might help you get the device recognized as a 996 so you can flash the 996 kdz

Really difficult to find .dll files.
I tried using UPPERCUT but only allows me to flash VS995.
Anyone updated their's yet and are there any changes worth noting?

Probably be a good idea to hold off updating on this, especially if you cross-flashed just to make sure it doesn't break anything for the ATT version.

So i went ahead and updated using upgrade in LGUP and so far so good.
I cross flashed AWM oreo with ULM oreo using the LGUP 1.14 from thread cross flashed AWM Oreo with Korean Oreo. Then I refurbished the AWN with the latest ULM Pie. So far no problem.

How did you flash this firmware? I am on V350N20c_00_KT_KR_OP_0405.kdz and LGUP refused to cross flash this firmware. It failed at 5%.
What error message are you getting? Are you using the correct version of the LG UP? May be do an incremental upgrade (install previous ULM version then the newest) instead of jumping directly from KR version. Also, your download could be corrupt, may be download again. Be careful though, there are a few mentions of ppl bricking their phones due to experimenting around.
Edit: In my case, it was my spare AT&T V35 on AT&T stock 8.0 and i directly flashed the new 20E ULM version using refurbish option.

I used LGUP and upgraded from the 20d to the 20e with no issues. Don't notice much difference. I do remove pretty much all the bloat. Hope it works out for you.

No. You can't use Uppercut on anything past Nougat. Uninstall it and never speak of it again.
To flash firmware you want Dev Patched LGUP.

You said Official rom so I am guessing you mean Stock No root. The H910 does not have a KDZ file to flash so you have to flash the twrp files. They are safe.
This one will bring you back to Nougat 10q Stock No root.
