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?
I tried following this guide but several of the files needed to be downloaded are no longer available.

***WARNING*** This is ONLY for the H910. If you flash H915 firmware on an H918 -- you WILL brick it. If you are currently on Oreo, you can root your phone, but you CAN NOT keep Oreo - for now. This will downgrade you back to Nougat, which is...

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.
I have a question I was thinking of using the h915 kdz on my AT&T LG v20 variant. I saw the post about using patched lgup with common dll. I tried this method without success. Lgup kept saying that I it cannot flash h915 to h910. I cannot seem to get around this. My query is can I use another carrier kdz on my phone and which one should I use? And an someone assist with the process? By the way I am using LG V20 H810 currently on nougat. Stock firmware don't want to lose root, just want Android Oreo. Thanks in advance. Also is there an easier way to gain root besides dirty Santa. Seems so lo d and risky.

Use pathed LGUP file in thread:
[GUIDE][UNBRICK] Patch LGUP to unlock features & unbrick V20 (Variant mismatch fix)
and you will can to flash h915 kdz, or us996 kdz. Don't flash other kdz, you will loose your phone.
only one method to access root -- dirty santa.
You can just run follow the instructions in the root thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500 on any version H910. Backup anything you need, including from the internal storage and SD card, before you start.
Follow the instructions exactly as written,until they tell you to flash the h910-10r ZIP. Go here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h910-att-lg-v20-stock-oreo-rooted-t3846384 get the proper version of TWRP, download the v20h ZIP, download the proper mk2000 kernel, and the Magisk 17.1 ZIP,then flash the rooted v20h ZIP.

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.
I am looking for stock oreo kdz for H910 At&T lg v20 but couldn't find it anywhere.
Please someone give me link ?
TIA

I have received oreo opdate via ota 1.2gb but it's failing getting error during installation..
I bought a used v20 and i think its running modified rom nougat 7.0 .
It has all languages and unlocked hotspot tether and bluetooth tethering .
Thats why it's getting error via update because it has been modified.
I

Yes my 20g stock rom will update to 20h no problem.
If you want root those roms are their also
Be sure and flash TWRP again before you reboot if you need it all my roms overwrite TWRP with stock recovery

Thank you for your support
Please i want to clarify something .
I am reading many posts in xda and reddit that some users successfully converted from H910 to H915 or unlocked VS995 or VS996 i am not sure which 1 is fully compatible with H910.
I just want to know can i flash stock kdz H915 or whatever to my H910 directly from LGUP or i have to root and flash via twrp?
Also I've been reading that flashing via official LGUP won't work because model difference so i have to use LGUP PATCHED VERSION.
TIA

The H910 - H915 and US996 are essentially all the same device
The H910 cannot be unlocked with the stock bootloader
The H915 will allow you to flash a Engineering bootloader that is unlocked
The US996 can be unlocked through LG
I really don't recommend cross flashing except to install the unlocked bootloader
this is done with Patched LGUP
all the instructions are in the root thread I posted above
Hi dear community,
I have flashed H915 KDZ on H910 LG V20 to unlock bootloader but without success because I was unable to ger into twrp but that is another story, how can I get back to H910 ROM since I have made a dump with LGUP (too many files and I do not know how to proceed)
Thanks for your precious help.

Reflash the H915 KDZ until you get TWRP. You can flash your DUMP with TWRP I think?

The only way to go back to stock H910 is to first root your device and flash the stock H910 twrp zip file.
