For those who wants to root K10 MTK Variants
The tutorial
Lets make some changes.
Downgrade your k10 first to 2016 android security patch. I discover that the latest patch of K10 with android patch 2017 do not allow supersu package to install even if its already in gz compression they may change the boot image so hard this time. Now use LGUP and use UPPERCUT on flashing K10 to its previous patch.
:good::good::good::good::good:
As far as I know there is allredy this metod explained, I couldn't watch all the videos because I would become completely blind. If it is a different metod you should write a text guide with images. Or use screen capture at least on pc.

This is not the same since it's using the old solution. The new solution is much more simple. Also i don't think it's proper to make a thread about this video guide cos i have also video guides in my thread...
Anyways can you make a recovery log about what happens when you try to install supersu on the 2017 patch level firmware?

My US997 is rooted. I was thinking I must have to do a factory reset / flash kdz / reflash twrp & root / restore from backup?

Don't guess the kdz helps with the camera issues does it?
I feel stupid being the only one (maybe) having issues with reStock and camera, maybe I should try a clean install [again]?

I don't know but it probably doesn't help. I had one other report of an issue, not sure if it's the same but similar at least. As with any issue I always recommend a clean install, making sure to wipe everything but storage in TWRP.

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!

You can use kdz writter to upgrade to kdz with new security updates. You will not lose 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!

Can you check if it incremented ARB?
If you update and they have incremented ARB, you will probably never get root.
Someone that has updated needs to dump about for me.

Pretty much none. You put it in download mode do the dump with lgup and nothing gets changed on your phone
Im your man then, just get me a link to download the LGup and tell me how to get in download mode
Yea, there is zero risk.
Grab the patched LG UP (I'll post a link if you can't find it), and use the DUMP option, choose aboot (uncheck everything else if it is checked), and click OK, GO, START (sorry -- I don't use LG UP anymore).
zip up the file, it will be called aboot_COMXX where XX was the COM port that was was assigned, and post a link. It has no private info, so you can post it publicly.

It is ARB1 still, this is great!: https://imgur.com/a/fBlRxN7

ARB 1.. does that mean its safe to upgrade and still have a chance at root?

I think since they have the same ARB 1, it shouldn't be a problem.
