This file seems crucial to the whole method, luckily it is available here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397928140 this is the android os for 910 version r apparentlyDownload this modified (by modified, I mean it contains all the extras needed to make this work) DirtySanta root package: link.

Yes but the archive is NOT the same. What is needed is a full dump of all partitions plus firmware kdz - to go by the OPs wording earlier. Or get to twrp and then install Lineage - ? or other? would it be possible to use 996 instead as the method originally did?
I'm sure it's a good site I always used getintopc.com thoughThanks dude... I will try these steps. Hope it will work Also, If you need any latest software you can visit my website, May be helpful for you
Many thanks for this guide, i follow it and works well... Sadly after that i lost Network signal, No GSM, SMS text or LTE...Wifi, NFC, Bluetooth works well (i use phone outside USA, bought it unlocked in Ebay ending 2021, works well here in my country, and when root it look itself), any clue or how could recover to SIM unlock state?, i backup all partitions in LGUP but i cannot find how to use, any help its really apreciatted, many thanks!

Sounds like you just need to restore your EFS to get LTE working again.
Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.
You need to find your Original DUMP of the rom your Lgv20 phone was on, before you downgraded your firmware for rooting.
Note: COM6 is what ever com port you were using at the time.
With the phone powered off, hold the down vol and plug in usb to computer.

I know it's kinda late, but you should be able to root that phone. If you want to make sure.Wanted to double check before I gave up. Am I correct based on the [L] at the end of my software version that I can not root my phone or am I mistaken? I know I'm super late to the party so thanks in advance for any response.
Good evening, I'm trying to root my LG V20 H910.FAQ:
Q1: If I revert to stock will AT&T know that I rooted my phone?
A1: Nope. Unlike Samsung phones (at least older ones, I don't know about current ones), there is no KNOX style indicator that shows how many times a phone has been flashed.
Q2: Do we have to flash ALL of the H915 firmware, that seems like a waste?
A2: You would be correct -- it is a waste, but I am going to need more time to test and make sure that only the XBL and ABOOT need to be flashed AND that doesn't break trusted boot. As I have stated, the H910 and H915 have the same PBL. I ran my phone with the H915 XBL, with the rest of the firmware being H910 and I don't have a brick -- but I did it manually and not though LG UP. When I feel like wiping my phone again, I will test this.
Q3: Can any other variants be rooted with this method?
A3:Maybe. I was able to get the patched LG UP to recognize a KDZ that I modified, and it let me flash. My next step is to completely roll my own KDZ. If that works, then ANY LG phone will be rootable simply by flashing a KDZ.
A3: YES! It turns out that the LS997 is able to use the VS995 KDZ. I have written up a post on the procedure.
Q4: If that works, and you can roll your own KDZ, can you get around ARB?
A4:I believe so. Now that we have the ability to take a dump of an unmodified / stock / out of the box phone, we could dump the XBL (this is what updates ARB), and package that up with an older ABOOT. I am mainly talking about H918s here, since all other V20s work with the engineering ABOOT. But it will also apply if AT&T ever increments ARB on the H910.
Nope, there is no getting around ARB. Once a particular ARB version is blown into your QFPROM, you *MUST* use a boot stack that has that ARB version, and that is basically the entire firmware except for boot, recovery, laf and system.
Q5: Will the AM&FM Radio still work
A5: Yes.
Q6: Why are my boot times longer after rooting?
A6: In order to unlock the bootloader, an engineering aboot had to be used, and a lot of additional data is generated on boot.
Q7: Can I return my phone to stock?
A7: This was addressed in the post above, but I will address it again. Yes. For the link, see the post above.
Well I don't have the H910, but usually almost all DirtySanta exploits are the same (or similar enough).
Thanks a lot for the answer.Well I don't have the H910, but usually almost all DirtySanta exploits are the same (or similar enough).
I'll assume that you have successfully downgraded your H910 to an exploitable H915 v10e KDZ as per instructions on the OP, the drivers, folders and everything else are ready to go, including the copied necessary files to the SDCard
According to this video starting at 28:10 you should type this (run-as with
chmod 0777 /storage/emulated/0/*) on the cmd running STEP1.bat, but I didn't did this step. I used this other video as a visual guide at 4:30 with the files for my H990 and everything worked as expected.
So I hope that you take time to watch both videos, because they explained very well the process that was made by our members here on XDA, take notes, follow everything and you'll have your H910 unlocked very soon.
adb logcat -s dirtysanta
STEP1.BAT

@runningnak3d could you update the link from DirtySanta root package?
