H918 8.0 update - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Ok so just to be clear, if this was a Samsung Galaxy, I would not be asking questions. That's my "safe zone".
So first, how do I update to 8.0? I'm rooted, using mk2000 kernel and I have Xposed installed.
Do I have to uninstall Xposed? Do I need to find the stock kernel?
What about TWRP? Does that have to get updated first?

I'd suggest if you want to retain root, wait for someone to upload it with a root patched boot IMG as far as xposed you probably have to reinstall after updating to oreo

@BROKEN1981 I am trying to pull the KDZ from LG Bridge, but I think their servers are hammered. As soon as I can grab the KDZ, I will post a zip you can flash.

wait for a rootable zip and do not install the kdz

Can't wait to try it out! I wish they had put screen calibration options in it like the V30 has so we wouldn't have to deal with kcal ??

It will need to be updated, he has experimental oreo versions for other variants, shouldn't take too long for him to get an experimental h918 version ready.

What I don't understand is that with my Samsung Galaxy S5, all I had to do was gain root with Odin.
I never had to flash TWRP to flash any custom ROMs or any updates. I used mobile Odin Pro for all of that.
ChainFire developed FlashFire which does the same thing and it supports many devices. Not sure why it can't work with LG devices.

Can't say much about Samsung maybe @runningnak3d might be able to pitch in with his super brain.

The H918 never had full fastboot. It was rootable when it was ARB 0, because there was a kernel exploit that gave temp root and then you could dd TWRP onto the recovery partition.
As for the S5 and older phones in general, Qualcomm security pretty much didn't exist, and therefore Android security didn't exist (same for Apple and jail breaks).
Qualcomm has upped their game drastically by adding security into the CPU. Android and the OEMs take advantage of that to lock us out.
The TMO G7 no longer has an unlockable bootloader, and the V40 won't either.
If you want a phone that can be rooted with an SD845 chip, buy a dev friendly phone.

So basically if people want to stay with LG, then buy a V30 ASAP?

Yep. As far as I know the V30 is the only carrier branded phone with an SD835 that has been rooted.

So I followed this method and my phone rebooted but nothing happened. I had to power it on my self and it booted to android.
After you've downloaded the recovery IMG file, I assume you grabbed the correct one for your model, open Flashify app, select recovery image on the flash tab, browse to where you saved it and confirm. Job done.
The app should then ask you to reboot and it will boot into twrp.

I did grab the right one but it didnt boot into twrp. It shut off after showing the LG logo for a brief second.
Hmmm not sure to be honest.
It worked perfect for me.
Maybe try deleting the downloaded IMG file and flashify app and reinstalling and try again.

You can't unlock the bootloader. That's the whole reason why we use Loki. Do you have your phone rooted?

Flashed with flash tool over 20h on a phone from VDF Romania. All went well, nothing spectacular to report works and seems as snappy (or choppy) as 20H was. Needs some settling in to decide but guess there are improvements (or slowdowns) somewhere there deep in the code.

You do not need root to install with KDZ files numerous guides to do it on the forums with a quick search.

I also, humbly and respectfully, request that you do not blame the phone for your flashing problems. And I most humbly ask that you try to do additional reading and searching before you do anything else to your device. Almost all of your issues have been previously addressed in older posts and searching and reading are expectations for members. Hope the above link gets you there... :highfive:

I know it's a long shot since the Verizon variant was never suppose to be rootable (if that's even a word lol), but it doesn't hurt to ask..

They said that the upgrade from LP to MM has to be done manually. Only updates to MM (and LP) are OTAs.
Is it safe to update without unroot? I rooted my phone with method 3.

I think it's because there were some issues with the Marshmallow update, and until Asus fixes them, they want to release the September security update.

You're absolutely correct! There is so much confusion about L and M updates. In fact, that is what this thread is about. And I did read the thread. So, to be more precise: if you just run the current OTA L update: no, you don't have to unroot. If you want to update to M you have to do that manually and unroot first.

It works most of the time if :
- You're still on LP
- Root method is 3
- Your phone was up to date with the last previous firmware.
In any case, if you end up with boot loop, just download the last full firmware from Asus support site and flash it using sideload method. Nothing will be lost but some time and maybe root access.

Asus will continue to provide updates (at the very least security ones) for those that choose not to upgrade to M

Were did you get this info about MM not being deliverd through OTA? It seems illogical not to update via OTA this major update.

Yes. If you root your phone using the ONE CLICK ROOT METHOD.
However, you still have to uninstall BUSYBOX and XPOSED INSTALLER if you installed them if you want the update process to be successful.
Update done.

Illogical?
Jump from LP to MM is an upgrade that can lead to unexpected bugs if done without clearing cache and data. If you were a Company, would you take the risk of getting lots of customers complaints that you will have to supply support? It's better to give it as a manual procedure so only a few user supposed to know what they do, how to backup their data and apps settings, how to clean data and cache, will upgrade.

They said that the upgrade from LP to MM has to be done manually. Only updates to MM (and LP) are OTAs.

Can you give me a link to this? I thought that I didn't get MM because they stopped the update, and instead only released the security update for September until they solve the issues that the Brazilians have with the sensors.
Anyone have link for this update?
