Hello! So I recently swapped my A5 2017 for a V20. The problem is my V20 is still on nougat and I can't update it because it says that the phone is not registered. I tried registering it to LG but it needs a proof of purchase and the previous owner said that the receipt is already lost. Can anyone help me update it? Thanks!

Open up your battery cover and look for the model number on the sticker behind the battery. Nevermind I saw the thread title, look for the the dirty santa for the H990 thread, follow that to root

This is the development section. The Q&A section is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help
That said, I don't understand your question. Your device is a T-mobile LG G2 (D801). I have basically the same info as you but your baseband version ends with 36 and mine ends with 34. I'm also on the latest version so my Software version is: D80110g. I bought my device in the US.

I have the same exact build number and I managed get my handset stuck in a recovery bootloop. I ODIN back to stock. Back to square one. At least I didn't brick it.
I dont have a g900v, but laat i checked they were in almoat identical boats as the g900a, and last i checked for us, theres no way to root lollipop or downgrade or anything, so the reason you are unable is because you cant.

Thanks. I'll stop trying. It would be insane to fire up ODIN again and flash something older, when they have already patched the stuff. I just wanted 'root', sigh.

I take back my previous post, after poking around in the verizon section it seems all hope is not lost, i recommend having a read over is the verizon galaxy s5 section, your question is more likely to be answered there.

Your problem lies where mine does. Depending on the baseband version you have, means that the bootloader may or may not have an exploit available to allow root etc.
For him, the OA8 version allows a root method. As for you, on OC4 as well as the one I have, OG5, is un rootable as far as I know. At least for right now.
If you require, tethering, mobile Hotspot (if you have unlimited data like me), call recording, ad blocking etc. These things are still possible without root on your Verizon s5. I made a post about it a few pages back. However these are the programs I use for those things while we wait for root .
No root is required for these apps to work properly on the Verizon galaxy s5. They all have free trials but a couple require purchase for full functionality. Money well spent imo.
"Call Recorder" by Skvalex - call recording & management ($8
"PDANET" or "FoxFi" (PDANET includes foxfi) - for tethering & wifi Hotspot ($7)
"Block It!" - VPN ad blocking service. (Free but not available on Google play)
This worked for me

Look for this video on youtube: Galaxy S5 SM-G900V 5 0 Root Successfully. It worked for me and hope this helps you.
Sm-g900v rootable bootloaders?
Hi, a friend has a Galaxy S5 (MetroPCS) he wanted me to unlock. He works at a hotel and any items found in rooms go to their "Lost and found" thing for a 60 day period. This was found and never claimed, so he wants to use it as his own. I've looked through it a bit and it appears it was used by a former drug dealer around town. Huzzah. Anyway.
It appears to already be rooted and has TWRP already installed, though still uses the stock ROM.
My questions are- How would I go about doing a fresh install on it? Also, is there a free way to unlock them or do I have to go through one of those unlock websites?
Here are the specs

Upgrade it using Smart Switch.
Just an update- I successfully used SmartSwitch to upgrade the phone, kudos for that.
Also ended up going through cellunlocker.net to unlock it. They even sent an unfreeze code with it.
I just got a V20 from eBay and did a factory reset on it, so it's coming up with the Setup wizard on startup.
At some point it wants to do an update and that step is not skippable. I want to check the firmware version before updating in case I have a chance at rooting.
Is there any way to get past that or check the fw version in some other way?
Thanks.

Yeahh only variant thatl always be rootable is the factory unlocked US996. Sprint and T-Mobile have totally blocked any way to root on recentish updates, while the others need to rollback to the december 2016 security patch.
Hi There !
I have recently bought LG V20 H910. It is on android 7.0 and its further details are as below:
Android security patch level: December 1, 2016
Build number: NRD90M
Software version: H91010i
Whenever i try to update the android, it says that there is no further update available. I tried both OTG as well as LG PC suite methods. When i tried searching for security patches on LG site, i got this info that latest patch is from March 2018.
I wanted to know how can i update my phone and why it says that there is no update available, when there is update available as per this LG site
My device is not rooted. I tried to root it earlier to install lineage OS (by following the guide). I am not a tech savvy kind of person at all.
Please help me with this.

Looks like you've the att model, are you actually on ATT? I've seen reports that if the att model doesnt have an ATT sim it wont find updates.

Well it seems so. I tried rooting it with kingoroot and it failed. Then i searched online for rooting solution and came to know that v20 cannot be rooted by these software because the bootloader is locked.. It needs another method (told in forums). Well i didn't try them.
I need some further help in this regards. I have few questions. I hope you can answer them.
1. If i unlock the bootloader and install twrp and then install the stock rom, CAN I INSTALL ANY stock rom, for example, stock rom of international model instead of at&t version?
2. I am using h910 but not with at&t sim. I am on other network. Will installing with official rom (other than at&t version), keep the gsm working>?

You could possibly flash the US996 which is the unlocked version, as far as updates you'll have to check and see if there's updates for it from LG, but the big concern would be determining what bands are available with that variant to see if they are compatible with your carrier, you can also check this forum and see if there's updated 996 roms that you could flash to get the latest security patches. But as the previous poster stated as long as you are on 910 rom and using another carrier's sim you'll never get an update from AT&T
