Just bought the V20 because it was the only att phone with possibility of root. Had it 3days and it kept telling me to install update (had auto update turned off). Wanted to read into the posts about how to root. Overnight it installed on its own. Now I'm assuming I'm stuck. I still have a week (this week) left to return it. I'm thinking maybe return under the guise of wanting a different color one just to get one still running the December security patch. Any ideas?

Deserteagleslm, I don't know the answer to your question, but is it possible for you to try and find the actual OTA file(s) on your phone and send them to me? I tried the OTA on my H910 and now it's stuck in a bootloop. If I had the 174mb OTA file at i'm thinking I can use LGUP to do the FOTA option and recover my phone during the upgrade.

thanks

Look, all I know is for $829 I'm taking this v20 back to att and switching for a new one, within 2 wee return period, and getting another one, turning off updates thru development options so I can root the damn thing. I had a Galaxy S4 that I rooted 2 days after getting it few yrs back and never "upgraded" due to newer phones not having root possibilities. I'm not pissing away that $$$$ on this damn v20..... Yes I'm drunk and mad right now.
