THE BOUNTY IS BEING CLAIMED! CONGRATULATIONS @emdroidle!
YES YOU READ CORRECTLY. ROOT ON V20 H990DS is NOW AVAILABLE!
NEW USERS: Read from approx pages 45-60, where MOST users have learned of the root process, CAREFULLY implemented it following steps with caution and ROOTED their H990DS with success! A NEW THREAD has been created by the ROOT PROCESS owner, @emdroidle, here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296/
The method is viable and working for at LEAST 15 different people. So, rest assured this is not a "flash in the pan" or fluke, its legit and working! This thread is as good as closed. Here's some HIGHLIGHTS from the dev:
NOTE: Unless you plan to contribute some dollars via Paypal to the developer (who put countless weeks, arguably months) into trialing and testing his process, then there really is NO OTHER REASON TO REPLY TO THIS THREAD. If you'd like to contribute, then by all means, you can do so DIRECTLY to the developer via Paypal by clicking here.
CONTRIBUTION PLEDGES ARE LISTED BELOW! Even further below, I will post those who are confirmed to have **PAID** their bounties.
SIDE NOTE FROM THE OP: Sorry LG, you've lost me as a customer. You don't "randomly" unlock SOME bootloaders of V20 and leave the H990DS model customers hanging. I won't be returning to your brand of smartphones in the future, either. Great job on customer/developer support in your OWN community you pack of knobs!

The only problem I am currently aware of is USB-C to HDMI isn't working, my adapter was outputting a bad frequency my display couldn't handle [i doubt many people need/use this]
I've got some hopes of making the whole root process simpler, but that may be quite a bit of work. Problem is we're constrained by what SE Linux allows. Working around SE Linux makes things really complicated.I've also got the tasks of needing security updates and getting lined up with the tip of LineageOS's tree.
I can only know the number of people who report success, there could be many more who never report. I think we've got more than 15 reports [as of 2 weeks ago], so seems pretty functional within the limitations (several of the steps being kind of complicated).
