LG V20 h990ds: successful Bootloader Unlock and /e/ install

Hi there,
I can happily report a successful unlocking of the bootloader as per

[root-dirtysanta-comes-for-the-h990] (http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-dirtysanta-comes-for-the-h990.3624296/)

followed by installation of /e/-0.16.

I had to downgrade stock from 20something to 10c first. Only thing in the process was that RUNMEFIRST.sh did not come up with a prompt . I had been waiting for 25min, the terminal on the phone came up with the prompt though. I simply opened another terminal tab (using Linux) and went on with step2. I flashed the latest version of twrp here.

Works all pretty well. Have some inconsistent GPS issues though and I wish the FM radio was supported by the kernel (there is apparently no custom ROM with a driver for the FM at all). Great that the quadDAC ist working though!

Cheers,
Fabian

Hi @fabo108 :slight_smile:

Same for me FM radio does not work or is not implemented in the LOS kernel :frowning:

Hey do you have issue with calls?
Cause most of the time I cannot call, the 4g disaapear then show a cross on the cell reception and hang after 15 secs

Cheers

Hi marmotte32,
I don’t have any issues with calls or unexpected loss of reception. I do though get a kernel error from time to time which I don’t understand and the phone needs a restart then.

All the best!

Thanks for the feedback @fabo108 :slight_smile:
In fact I think my v20 has an hardware issue with the antenna and some pins grounded to the back cover of this phone
I will try to improve the reception by sticking copper stickers on the pins
I’ll keep you posted when done!

Hello everyone, is there any reasonably sure chance of unlocking the bootloader after completing the official LG unlock process? Thanks in advance
