what was the stock rom.. 10A?

I picked up my new baby 2 days ago. I will not perform any sketchy operations on this brand new G5. Not until there's root and TWRP will I consider anything besides approved, OEM updates - it's way too early for that stuff. It takes 6 months to a year for those things to maure enough for me to be comfortable.

I was hoping to get mine in a week or so.
But the whole Bootloader crab is pushing me to s7 or maybe htc 10.
Just gotta sell my h815 and h812.
Maybe Canadian telcos will drop a few bugs
Im not spending 400$ for a s7 edge on a two year renewal. In Germany there 0 on a two year.
What a ****ed up system canada has.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to flash this using LG up or LG flash tool using download mode. Any suggestions or is it not possible yet.
EDIT
Never mind figured it out that you have to use the VZW software utility to restore the KDZ.

VZW Software Utility
Any idea where to download the VZW software utility? Didn't have luck on VZW site!

Connect your phone to your PC then switch the USB connection type to Software Installation by swiping down on the status bar and selecting the option that says" tap to change USB connection". Once you do that a new CD Drive will pop up in My Computer with an LG logo. Double click that and then run the VZwsoftwareupdate exe. Profit

I see, so having a T-Mobile device will make me not able to use the VZW software to flash the Verizon KDZ on my T-Mobile? Could you maybe share the .exe execution file of the software so that we can give it a try
Thanks

Ahhhhh I should've asked that I guess. Yea not sure how it would work for T-Mobile. I will share the whole folder as soon as I get home.
Here's a complete copy of the folder in its entirety. I think your supposed to use LG bridge with T-Mobile devices unless I'm mistaken. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9so7d5en3a7Wmd3M0dabUNNNFE

Yeah i have been doing some readings, and GSM T-Mobile wont accept the CDMA Verizon KDZ. This will brick the device. I am in square zero now Any idea how to overcome the T-MObile Sim Lock?

As per this video, T-Mobile GSM working on the Sprint device! So would be is possible for the Verizon ROM work on the T-Mobile device ?

The Verizon variant of the LG G5 is factory unlocked per FCC network access requirements for the 700mhz spectrum of LTE. Which is what he is using. A Verizon device. Not a T-Mobile or Sprint device. This Verizon KDZ will only work on Verizon devices. You have to use LG Bridge to restore your phone.

anyone tried to extract the LG G5 kdz file? I can not merge the sysmtem.img file.

Downgrading to 6.0

Is there a way to downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0 even though out the box the V20 comes running 7.0?

1. The v20 doesn't have 6.0 Firmware
2. If it did have it and you were on 7.0 Firmware then downgrading would actually brick your device.
Why? Because LG incorporated an "Anti_Rollback" counter. You can see it in the 'Hidden Menu'.
i.e. If MM was Anti-Rollback #1 and Nougat Anti-Rollback was #2 there would be no going back. You can only flash/upgrade/restore firmware/Roms with the same Anti-Rollback number. So if you take an OTA and it switches to 3 then any Roms or Backups or even Firmware Packages that are lesser than that you can No longer use.
Good Luck.

I just bought a v20 off eBay. It was already on h91810r version I just bumped it back to h91810p which is 2 versions back with no issue and got to h91810k and it rejected it so I guess that's that. No root or custom recovery for me. Lg played us dirty.

10k is the last version with ARB=0 (anti-rollback). Any firmware update that followed was ARB=1.
If you buy a V20 off of eBay, your best bet is to not buy it from an individual because they will probably have used it right up until the time of auction, meaning they will probably have installed the latest updates. Mobile phone resellers that sell them in lots are a better bet.
I got mine last week and it was on 10j. You bet I made sure it was not going to be connected to the Internet before I was done rooting.

For what it's worth. I think the anti rollback thing is mainly T-Mobiles fault since I believe the T-Mobile model is the only one that has anti rollback activated on it.

I tried getting it to h918k but it failed. And I did buy it from a seller not a everyday Joe. That's why I was pissed when I seen it was h91810r I was like WTF I'll brick it and send it back.

Unfortunately, it's still a luck of the draw. A mobile phone reseller might have gone ahead and put the latest updates on it, but that's not always the case. If an individual is selling their V20, they probably didn't keep it locked away for the last year before deciding now is a good time to sell it.
Anyway, you should keep a watch on this thread. There is hope, but it won't be instant gratification.

Yah I figured in the near future it would see full root and full working twrp. The bottom line is I like the damn phone, it works perfectly ( for a LG ) it's a big step up from the v10. But the power button if faulty you have to just about put your finger through the phone to get it to activate and that's a pain in the ass when your doing the combo to get into DL mode or fastboot.

Then the power button alone issue would be good enough reason to get a return or exchange.

Unfortunately the seller has about 20 of these devices mainly all t mobile but there all messed up or in terrible condition. I paid 130$ for this and it's mint except that button. He's got a 90$ parts phone that's unlocked but has a botched charger port and I bet it's sitting on h91810j or older firmware. There's root in sight.

XT1641 Nougat Update

I buy a moto G 4 Plus 2 Sims and 2Gb of RAM with firmware MPJ24.139-23.1. But in some posts​ I read that to update to nougat I need the firmware 139.63 but my device says I'm updated. Why?
Another question: If I install TWRP can accept an OTA?

If that's the original, unmodified rom that came from the factory, then you should eventually get an ota.

No, we haven't received any update at all, I have the phone since August and nothing in all of this time. It's so annoying. It's like Lenovo doesn't care at all about us. I'm honestly tired of being treated like a less valuable customer just because of our region :/

I would wait. It hasn't been released for this area yet and if you manual upgrade a soak you may never get the ota. From what I've seen I'd rather Moto wait and give us a more stable release than what's been released so far. I'm not sure why everyone is in such a hurry, we will get it and it will be more stable.

It wont improve on Nougat... But if you still want to upgrade search for the fastboot image its safer and easier @Waycloud

Yeah, same goes for the AT&T version (v520), no root, no twrp, not even barely any discussions.. Smh, if AT&T didn't give it to me for free i'd probably have just gotten a Nexus lol.. At least you can have fun with those..

I was able to get adoptable storage with the update now with a few adb commands

What version is this Nougat? (letter letter letter number number letter, can also be known as build number, not 7.0 - version of Nougat is obvious enough)
I plan on building AOSP for this, but I would REALLY prefer to match the exact version.
And I can't just run the update on my tablet, it's rooted and unlocked and I don't think I know the procedure to relock it.
Never mind, it said 7.0.0-r1.

Hmm, weird cuz mine keeps saying "your device is up to date" and it was last updated on January 10th.. But I'm still on 6.0.1..
EDIT: Also wanna add, I downloaded LG Bridge via a recommendation from another site that stated that was the only way the new update would be accepted, and that didn't work either.. When i click "Software Update" it says, "Cannot check the software version, Try again.", so I guess I'm s.o.l. for now..
I deactivated from AT&T when I switched to Verizon last month, but I still use it on WiFi and it works fine so I'm not sure why it's not working..

That is really strange. My guess would be is it hasn't been pushed out to every device yet. I happen to have checked for updates on the day AT&T pushed it out. Their website wasn't even updated yet when i got it. I wouldn't think deactivating it would cause it to lose the ability to update but i am kind of new to android so i am not 100% sure. I would just keep checking for updates or maybe contact AT&T and see if they could give you an answer. They do have a section in the Device Support to display information about software updates. I tried attaching a link to it but i can't as i have less than 10 posts. You can search on google AT&T software updates and it should be the top link. You'll then enter your device and scroll down to software updates. They do have a Troubleshoot and Resolve software updates page you could check out

Sweet. My fido v522 just completed its Nougat update. No more sluggish keyboard......for now. Lol

I notice Wi-Fi issues on my Fido V522 after the nougat update. It would get horrible wifi speeds with a AC 4X4 (1900) network and frequent network drops compared to Marshmallow.

(sprint v20) working on a root for ls997 zv6 update??

Are any devs working on a root for ls997 (sprint v20) zv6 update?? Will it be possible ever? Just wondering .. I know i was told i wouldnt be able to root on zv6 so i guess now im wondering if its even being worked on or looked at.. Thanks!

Im not even looking at it.

I do have a possible way but it is WAY to complicated for use. It can EASILY result in a hardbrick. and mostly untested. if that method ever gets released i will have done countless hours of testing on my own device before i even attempt to tell someone how to do it. That being said. as of right now. i am rooted on a custom rom. there is no incentive for me to try to work on it. if i do eventually get bricked for somereason and get a replacement with zv6 on it then yes i will work on getting root for that.

Ahh i see no worries.. Sucks we have no way of even getting back also.. Ugh first phone i havnt been able to root... It does suck..

Getting back as in downgrading? Correct there is no kdz to downgrade with. However i have confirmed that ARB is still set to 00 on zv6 meaning that if we manage to create a KDZ then zv6 CAN be downgraded.

@me2151, I got a question for you.... I went to jail on march 21st, my phone got stolen and was taken to the ECOATM. I just ended up getting it back on Friday. what im trying to figure out is if im still good to root. I have been reading about this zv6 update and im hoping and praying that my phone has not updated. I will have acess to it tomorrow. should I go in as soon as I turn it on and turn off OTA updates and make sure it doesn't update? or do you think that ECO atm went ahead and updated it?

@me2151, I got a question for you.... I went to jail on march 21st, my phone got stolen and was taken to the ECOATM. I just ended up getting it back on Friday. what im trying to figure out is if im still good to root. I have been reading about this zv6 update and im hoping and praying that my phone has not updated. I will have acess to it tomorrow. should I go in as soon as I turn it on and turn off OTA updates and make sure it doesn't update? or do you think that ECO atm went ahead and updated it? I know the service was disconnected on march 25th. also thank you for your time and help

if you are concerned with a auto update you can remove the simcard when you turn it on to check what version you are on. I dont know the business practices of ECOATM so i cannot say they did or didnt update it. I would just pray its not zv6

ugh I hope to god not, but where I don't currently have active service on it that should help also?

Getting back as in downgrading? Correct there is no kdz to downgrade with. However i have confirmed that ARB is still set to 00 on zv6 meaning that if we manage to create a KDZ then zv6 CAN be downgraded.

So basically if i have any hopes of getting a root ... I shouldnt do any more updates to my v20? And that would be cool to get root for zv6 and some how create a kdz for it if need be!

Ok dually noted haha

I'm due to buy a new phone any day now, does anyone know if phones are shipping from the factory with ZV6, or do they ship with the original FW and take the update OTA.
Really getting more and more bummed being on Sprint. It seems like each generation root on Sprint gets harder and harder. I can't just buy whatever the current flagship is like I used to and not have to do a ****load of research first.
Samsung S8 -> No root on Snapdragon, maybe ever
LGV20 -> No root on ZV6, but it's being worked on
LG G6 -> No root and from what I've seen things don't look super promising for awhile
I was going to wait a few weeks to see how things are shaking out with the G6, but if the V20 is shipping with the old firmware I'd just buy it now and take the sure bet.

Just picked this phone up with out doing any research... It automatically updated to the v6 before I realized that the phone is set to auto update.. The v7 notification continues, as if I want it! Any news on rooting v6? Guess I'll just exchange this one for a different color and then make sure it does not auto ruin (update) MY phone! :silly:
