I was wondering if anybody had a stock boot.img for the US996, version h if its important.
The reason I'm looking for it is to install magisk on my device. I'm on WETA if it matters.

NOTE:
I downloaded the .kdz from lg-firmwares but it didnt seem to contain a 'boot.img' file, and the only source I've found for a boot.img is at
Code:
https://build.nethunter.com/misc/us996/v10d/?C=N&O=D
but it seems this is a very old version (assuming they change).

Thanks!
Also, If anyone has tips/guide for installing magisk on the US996 it would be awesome! Been having some troubles with it.

Give a thanks to @dwertz for this post, it might help.
For Verizon:
You don't need to do the entire root process over. Get the KDZ for 12A from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/vs995-kdz-t3527538
Get the LGExtract tool from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575
Extract the kdz. It will be a bunch of files and a dz file. Extract the dz file. There should be a boot_6.bin file. Rename it to boot.img. Put that on your sdcard

Here is the link to my VS995 boot.img (This is the already extracted VS995 12A boot.img) skip the above steps https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-JjsdrM6j0bQWRuVTNkX1FkWHc/view?usp=sharing

Install a terminal emulator - it makes it easier.

Make sure you have these files below on your sdcard:
boot.img from above kdz that you extracted
Magisk 11.1.zip
UnSU.zip
ReStock1.0 kernel

1. Install the Magisk Manager App
2. Go into SuperSu app do a full unroot.
3. Go into Terminal emulator and type "Reboot Recovery"
4. In TWRP Flash UnSu.zip (to remove any traces of SU)
5. Flash boot.img (this is the stock boot.img)
6. Flash Magisk.zip (magisk contains its own SU)
7. Flash ReStock 1.0 kernel.
8. Reboot
9. Open Magisk app and check to see if Safetynet passes. It should.


Maybe I will upload the boot.img when I get home from work to make the process a little easier.
