How-To Return SPRINT LG V20 Back To Stock! LS997 ONLY! |Sprint ZV3 system aboot boot

[cnjax]

Updated to 3.1.1 and it did the same thing

Since the info you provided is scare, I'm just guessing, if you flashed lineage, then you would need to wipe everything as it changes the size of the partition tables

I see a few posts in here about this issue.
It seems as if people who used the LGUP flash method to obtain root are having issues returning to stock with this method.
Does anyone have the zv7 modem and baseband images to flash, perhaps that will fix my data/network issue and I'll be fine keeping root.

Try updating your twrp version

Is this still a valid method to return to stock?

My phone was initially rooted using the Dirty Santa method and have sinced chanted roms a few times. I have an LS997 running an Android 7.0 build from i95 swervin. It's using the verizon VS9951BA April, 1 2018 patch. It is a verizon hybrid build that's no longer supported. I don't have wifi calling and voicemail due to the verizon nature of the patch. The only other roms for sprint phones are the ones that lineage ones that kill the hall sensor (close case detector) on these phones with the cases that have an open view.

I want to return to stock so I can have a 100% functional phone. My next phone will be from a carrier that doesn't lock down their phones so hard.

Yeah as long as you rooted with Dirty Santa and have a LS997 this will get you back to stock.

Thanks. I now remember that I will lose free hotspot if I go back to stock. Damn, what I would do for an updated rooted stock rom for my phone. Thanks for the response.

Its not a problem. Just flash the system.img (or grab the LS997 ROM from the DirtySanta thread) from TWRP, and flash magisk + mk2000 BTTF kernel on top of that. Even without root, since its ZV3, you can use HiddenMenu to change APN to get hotspot for free (add DUN to the APN type)

My Phones cannot reboot to recovery mode, its always boot loop with text "your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted".

I try to reboot with volume down + connected usb and theres fastboot mode bootloader unlock, theres no listed devices when i run adb command.

I try to reboot with volume down + pressing power and release then press the power again when LG logo appear its factory data reset, and i try to reset it several times but nothing happen, its bootloop.

i try to install TWRP via dirtysanta but its request Terminal Emulator to be installed.

any solutions?

thanks before.

I just bought an LS997 which has been crossflashed with US996 firmware. So the hardware is LS997 but the software its running is US996. Theres no signal, so I thought of getting it back to the stock LS997 firmware. But I don't have an unlocked bootloader or root. What should I do? Is there any hope for me?

To get dirty santa, should I go with the US996 method, or the LS997 method?

I would try and unlock the bootloader and then use this LS997 method, all that matters is the hardware for this method, as long as you have full root you can use this method to put any LS997 back to stock
