good info.
I can make it even easier... instead of downloading my 10E COMPLETE ZIP
Just download/flash my 10E BOOTLOADER ZIP. It'll make LGUP work again with M KDZs and the BOOTLOADER ZIP is much smaller!

I had several problems with this procedure (coming from V20a):
1. After flashing 10C BOOTLOADER ZIP via TWRP, LGUP was not able to detect my device type anymore, but this worked with previous bootloader. Why?
2. Flashing the 10C COMPLETE ZIP did result in a loss of TWRP (although recovery.img is not part if complete ZIP). Why?
3. Flashing the 10E COMPLETE ZIP caused FCs and a bootloop Reset in system recovery did help to get the device up again.
After that LGUP did find again my H850 and upgrade option works now with M KDZs (which did not work under Nougat). But the refurbish option is still not working and says "not supported".

1. I suggested 10E not 10C.. not sure why LGUP 1.14 + UPPERCUT wouldn't see it. But UPPERCUT is geared towards recent devices on recent software. It's possible 10C is too old to fall under the UPPERCUT 1.0.0.0 umbrella.. and you're always welcome to use the older LGUP methods instead.
2. You will always lose TWRP if you boot into Android without patching the boot.img or flashing supersu zip first. The stock system.img has a patch in it which always tries to replace the recovery partition with stock recovery.. and zips like supersu stop such things from happening. The procedure is to flash twrp.. boot into twrp.. flash supersu. flashing twrp then booting into android = no more twrp. this is standard android stuff for awhile now.
3. The refurbish option isn't needed and I've already explained in the UPPERCUT thread that refurbish is not supported. All refurbish option does is force the phone to run a factory reset after KDZ finishes... the user can just run a factory reset manually after the flash to achieve the exact same end result.

At first: Big thanks for your quick response!!!
to 1.: The reason for 10C instead of 10E is simple: you do not have a KDZ file for 10E on your codefire drive (only a ZIP), but for 10C the KDZ was available. And the links to LG server were not working yesterday for me.
I read Uppercut the first time now and will give it a try today in the evening (German time). :fingers-crossed:
to 2.: Understood. Thank you! :good:
to 3.: Then how can I get rid of the 3 error messages on start-up related to NT-code ("Can't find matched cust for NT-code" + "OP name for Buyer-code...")? I understood, that refurbish will flash new cust partition and this will solve the problem. I see cust.img also on your drive, but it is not inluded in the COMPLETE ZIPs. Would it help to flash this?
Or can LG Bridge help in this case? It does refuse to flash my phone, maybe because of the bootloader unlock?!
I read so many threads yesterday, but nothing solved this issue... :crying::crying:

cust should be getting flashed regardless of selecting refurbish or not as far as I know.. but perhaps I'm wrong.
if you have root/twrp just zero out the cust partition or simply delete the files inside the cust folder using a file explorer app... and the error msg should go away on next reboot.
this is in the FAQ/Q&A section in the OP of all my stock threads for H850.
if you're on M and must flash a KDZ with refurb option... just use the old LGUP methods. but if you're sticking with TWRP there's not really any need to flash any KDZ.. you can flash whatever in TWRP instead.

"and the error msg should go away on next reboot." I get 3 error messages related to this. Will I get rid of all of them?
"old LGUP methods" means tool version 1.11 instead of 1.14? So use version 1.11 for MM and 1.14 for N?!
Unfortunately, refurbish does not work even under MM for me regardless if I use version 1.11 or 1.14.
BTW: The old version 1.11 asks my each time I trigger the refurbish process to "Input new NT code" (the new version does not behave like this). Is my problem maybe caused by this or can this be used to input a working string there?

i dont have an H850 so idk.. but any time ive had someone zero cust theyve said errors have gone away. so if they dont for you.. you must be special. try it and find out... then report back. if it doesnt work... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
old lgup methods = 1.11 + dll msi installer, yes. but i see no reason to use 1.11 simply for refurbish option. most people should be able to use LGUP 1.14 + UPPERCUT for most situations on G4/G5/V20.
i dont know abotu the NT code stuff with LGUP.. again.. I dont have a H850. but if you have TWRP then there's really no need to be messing with LGUP at all unless you want to be 100% stock/unrooted with no TWRP. just zero cust or try flashing the cust.img that's in the folder.
I cant help any more on this NTCode subject without a device that uses it. good luck.

Only if someone is on the same point: For me, it is only working to flash the COMPLETE ZIP! When I flash bootloader only, LGUP does not detect the model type of my device anymore (detected type is "Unknown"). I have tried it now for 2 times with similar results...
BTW: I used this method to get rid of the annoying NT code issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66957161&postcount=4
@autoprime Can't we just flash 10E with the refubrish option? Somehow I'm unable to get into recovery with the button combination after downgrading and updating again, even though I'm doing it properly and I was able to do it before.
EDIT: So refubrish stopped working now too. Dang. I installed the recovery through Dirty Cow, flashed the bootstack and went back to 10E, but I still don't have a recovery. ;_;
Ok, I've tried everything and button combination for recovery still doesn't work, so think if you really wanna risk being unable to easily factory reset your phone.

Well I am trying to flash stock EE rom, which I have the KDZ for.
I am flashing via upgrade, and all that happens is when the phone boots it is unstable, phone app crashing etc.
All settings still intact, no myee app, app from open EU rom still exists, very very strange.
Is it possible to convert a KDZ to a twrp flashable zip as twrp seems far easier.
I suspect if I used refurbish it would fix this issue as upgrade seems to not be clearing everything.

Did u try what I suggested in other thread? Wipe internal storage before first boot, reboot recovery afterwards before booting system; are u clean flashing? Are you trying to restore any data at all besides things like messages and call logs?
Going from an openEU.kdz to a branded .Kdz would definitely require a Twrp data format and a recovery reboot, perhaps do all this b4 using LGUP with kdz.
Yes it is possible to make a .zip from a kdz, but it's not a simple process and there is no EE branded 20a.zip
Autoprime already stated that refurbish option can be used if you use LGUP v1.11 instead of latest 1.14 but don't forget the .DLL file. Also all refurbish does is wipe data and internal storage; which can be done via TWRP using the method I mentioned above. Try what I mentioned and then reflash kdz;forget about any data besides text messages just take the extra 30min to resetup device from scratch.
What version of LGUP are you using? Can u give more info be more descriptive about what's happening?
it is resolved now but I was just trying to get it in a good state to return the phone to EE.
Doing a factory reset in twrp didnt work, but what did work is I did a reset from in the rom, and after the reboot it was properly reset.
What was odd is when I wiped system and data manually in twrp that also didnt work.
I think I forgot to check if I completely wiped the internal storage, photos etc. As I was rushing to get the phone to be sent back. But the description for the reset option in android says it does wipe all personal data so hopefully that did it.
How can I downgrade LS992?
İs this possible for lg g5 H860?
For H850 just download H85010i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0923.kdz flash it with LGUP 1.4(uppercut) after it's finished reset the phone then just flash android 6 firmware that you like.
i have h850 ,
current firmware is v20a updated via fota
no root , no bootloader unlock ,,, compleatlly stock phone
i want to downgreade to any 6.0.1 firmware without losing data (if possible)
if not, what to check and what steps to do without tripping on cust ot drk or modem or .... issues ?
pleas advice me ....
LGUP corrupts whenever i hit Start, but it works just fine with N kdz (mine is 20a). I have tried to flash bootloader but still ended up with the same outcome.

I rooted H850 following autoprime's LG G5 H850 Bootloader Unlock instruction with autoprime's modded "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" {[ 1.) selecting port 41 in device manager (maybe was not necessary) and 2.) pushing TWRP twrp-3.1.1-0-h850.img 3.)booted into recovery (Using 2 hands.. use one hand/finger to press/hold volume down.. and use the other hand for the power button. Press n hold both buttons.) 4. flashing SuperSU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip) ]}.
Installed 20a with lgup because for a strange (windows 10 folder administrator permission) reason nether UPPERCUT_1.0.0.0.exe nether LGFlashTool.exe worked properly).
Unfortunatly I installed [ROM] [Nougat 7.0] Fulmics ROM 3.3 ◦ v20D ◦ H850 but, because the very big LACK of xposed framework on nougat, I had too much difficulties to patch correctly the core jar with lucky patcher getting a lot of error "app not installed the package appears to be corrupt" and other play store error 504 app not installed.
So I decided to downgrade and leave from any Nougat 7.0 based rom in order to move on Marshmallow 6.0. In particular I used TWRP to wipe everything and flash [STOCK][M] H850 10E OPEN EU ROM autoprime's 10E COMPLETE ZIP then Supersu then framework.
On android this time I skipped google registration and LG software updates with data and wifi OFF.
Then I activated USB debug in developer section
Then I followed these step in that really precise order:
a) installed super su again with twrp (want to be sure to have got ROOT);
b) configure Super Su setting in android to activate pseudo PRO option then uncheck the "separation mount space" in order to share .init;
c) configure Super Su setting giving permission always without asking and also during in boot (to everybody);
d) installed xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip in TWRP
e) installed lucky patcher and using it to unistall every LG apps;
f) activate for the very first time wify in order to update immidiately lucky patcher (update available in lucky patcher settings) than download patch update;
g) installed xposed apk (in android obviosly because I refer to apk pattern) and run it following app procedure for a correct detection of framework then activate Lucky patcher module in xposed apk then reboot to permit lucky patcher using framework;
h) installed busybox (after the check I choose the "smart install").
i) and now I enjoy the freedom that I haven't got in Nougat to test some application before buying them, just to be sure to not waste money for fake apk like voice pro or other expensive one that fools me before so many times. :good:
Update: G5 H850 Genisys Theme 1.3 v10e MM is a great choice for stability and battery life.
If you have already upgraded to Nougat using the manual method I posted, you don't need to flash this. If you do, you will get all the bloat back (again), and have to flash your su bin (again), but it isn't going to break your phone.
This is for the H901. Make SURE you have an ACTUAL H901, and not one of the half / half H901 / F600 phones.
If you are still on MM (any version), NOT LP, then you can use this to upgrade (or clean install -- just do a wipe) to Android 7.0 Nougat. This is from the official KDZ that was released on July 18th.
When you flash this, all the carrier bloat / LG bloat / crap / garbage, will come back. You will also lose root until you flash the su bin of your choice. That is the point of this, you WON'T lose TWRP, so you can still root...
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Lastly, when I have time, I will be releasing a version that is already debloated...
Download v30b_update.zip
SHA1: 4ae9338b9301f4b56437ec761b678c8706c90bc7
If you want the FULL Nougat experience -- that is ALL of the v30b firmware except the stock recovery (we don't want to lose TWRP do we?), then flash this as well.
If you flash this, then you might as well delete all of your MM backups that you made with TWRP because you can no longer restore to MM using your backups (you can flash back to MM -- just not with the backups).
If you choose to ignore this, and decide to restore a MM backup, you will brick your phone.
Download full_nougat.zip
SHA1: b1ac20a6eaccf2dfbd22c09886ddcd03ab638ec3
Known working (tested by me) SU binary: download SuperSU 2.82.
SHA1: d980effb25a8f23bc944d6b1015923f310038031
It has also been confirmed by multiple users that Magisk 12+ works, but I have not confirmed that myself.
This will not wipe ANY of your data / apps / or anything else you may have on your phone. That is why it is an UPGRADE and not a CLEAN install
If you want to do a clean install, just do a full wipe, and then flash.
If you downloaded any of my failed attempts (really -- a typo in a ui_print line?!?!?), and don't want to download the whole zip again, you can download this zip. It is the META-INF directory. You will need to unzip the broken v30b_update.zip, and then extract this over top of the META-INF dir, and then zip it back up.
Make sure you use recursion, and make sure you unzip it on TOP of the META-INF dir, not inside it -- or you will end up with META-INF/META-INF/com/google/android. Won't break your phone, but won't flash either.

Thank you so much man you just made my day...
it will be nice if you can share the recommended SU zip...
Any of the current SUs will work. I am using SuperSU 2.82 (hell, there may be a newer version, but it works, so I don't bother), but I know that Magisk will work as well.

seems that my TWRP has a problem

Just opened the zip file and notices META-INF folder is empty there are suppose to be some files in there which helps flash a file...
Weird. I just unzipped it, and it is there. I grabbed the update-binary from one of my LG G4 trees. It shouldn't matter, but I will replace the update-binary, and re-upload.
Sorry about that guys. Unfortunately I can't test this, well I could, but I really don't want to debloat my phone again
It is a SUPER simple script though...

Well THERES the problem. I uploaded the bad copy. I zipped without recursion the first time. Thought I nuked that copy. I am uploading the proper version now -- ya know -- with an ACTUAL META-INF dir

if you can only share meta-inf folder, I think it will work if you just copy files into the zip. that'll be awesome!!

Thanks a ton for the work you do helping keep this device alive.
I couldn't wait so I went ahead and unzipped the original update.zip and did the other method of pushing the three images via adb, and it works perfectly! thanks a lot again!

i'm getting an error 6 when trying to flash. i did some research and they say it may be a line of code written somewhere wrong.

Well, what the crap. Edify script is ... or should I say WAS, one of the simplest things in the world. Now that I am off work and don't need my phone, I can actually test this before I post an updated zip.
The only thing I can guess is that the v10 doesn't let you flash from the zip itself, so I am going to extract the files to /tmp and then flash them.....
I will post an update as soon as I have this working. This has never been an issue before.....

You will lose both. I did before I found this thread.

As far as I know you cannot rollback to MM from Nougat. Just have to wait and see if someone is able to create a rooted and debloated kdz or .tot Nougat Rom for our H901. I tried to use Dirtycow method to root but the fastboot commands do not work.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
I need an unmodified update.zip. It can be from any model except the H910, H915 or LS997 since they do encrypted OTA.
If you happen to have frozen the FOTA processes, would you mind unfreezing them, taking the OTA, but DON'T reboot. Copy the update.zip from your cache folder.
You need to be rooted to do this. If you do let your phone reboot by chance, the update will not be applied, you will just be stuck in a bootloop which I can help you fix.

Hey Brian
I think I have what you need right here.
I remembered someone posting a direct link to a ota-zip, it still works :good:
Been looking around for a while, can we root the H918 10T? Only method right now that I can see is magisk and the Lafsploit, and i dont have a 10T boot.img for that. can we use a 10i boot.img or..?
My bootloader is unlocked, i was going down the path for roothing through Recowvery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594) to get TWRP on it, but it seems like recowvery doesnt work for 10t.
My end goal is to just get lineageos on this.
EDIT:
Just ended up rooting with this guide. Follow everything to the letter and dont be intimidated, the guide couldnt have been easier:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-lafsploit-h918-version-t3773443
You do not need any boot.img, just simply downgrade to 10p using a 10p kdz flashed through lgup. DO NOT attempt to flash a 10i boot.img as IIRC 10i is ARB00 and you are on ARB01 and that would leave you with a fancy paperweight. Simply read the lafsploit guide a couple times thoroughly and carefully follow it exactly and by the end of it you will have a rooted H918. I followed it and its been working flawlessly and LOS 15 and the gamma kernel make this V20 perform like crazy.
Good luck.

Yeah i read through it fully, at first sight it was a little overwhelming but its nothing more than a couple command line functions.
When i initially tried to roll back, i got hit with an anti-rollback through LGUP. Do i need to specifically do a 10p rollback? I did try 10j first last night, and it didnt allow me. thank god i guess. If the rollback to 10p goes through cant i just root through recowvery?
Also, do I need to root to flash new ROMs? I'm not sure how arduino is built, or any other systems for that matter. Does the ROM exist above the root directories (kind of like project treble?) or does the ROM include the root directories, so you can just wipe the whole thing and be done with it?

You got hit by ARB because you're attempting to downgrade from ARB01 (10T) to ARB00. Lgup won't allow that. The guide requires you to specifically downgrade to 10P, that is still ARB01 so it will downgrade and then you can proceed with the guide.
Hello,
I Just bought from a website a " refurbished " LG V20 and sadly when I turned it on I was shocked it was on att but it's unlocked, but sadly since it's at&t I can't get software updates, is there a way that I can have a stock rom on it instead off at&t? if yes can you guys show me how ?
Note: I have 0 experience and how to do these kind of things but I can follow guide lines.
Search for backup EFS. Do it.
Then feel free to flash the US996 KDZ. Again, if you search, there is plenty of info.

No one is making anything difficult, search the forum, read the OP of rom threads until you find what you're looking for, how difficult is it to do some reading,? #NoSpoonFeeding

Download patched LG UP
Download US996 10p KDZ
Place your phone into download mode. With the phone off, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable.
In LG UP, use the DUMP option and select modemst1, modemst2, persist, persistent and misc
Then while still in LG UP, use partition DL mode, select the US996 KDZ, select all partitions, and flash.
Enjoy your H910 converted to a US996.
If you have data or voice problems after the conversion, then you will have to root to fix it. You can't root on 10p firmware, so you will have to flash older firmware. Even though you will have flashed the US996 firmware, you can use the H910 root procedure here. Once you are rooted, you can flash a US996 stock ROM via TWRP to return to stock US996 (with or without keeping root -- tis up to you).
Once rooted, you can flash modemst1 and modemst2 (ignore the others, it is just a good idea to have backups of them) that you backed up in step 3.
Boot to flastboot. With the phone off, hold vol down and plug in the USB cable
fastboot flash C:\path\to\modemst1 modemst1
fastboot flash C:\path\to\modmst2 modemst2
Again, those steps will ONLY be required if for some reason you get unlucky and your EFS gets hosed.

Thank you, your post is the first one I found that makes it seem fairly simple.
I have 2 V20 h910s I want to unbrand, one running AT&T version 10m and one running 10r (which complicates matters further), and I would like to avoid installing a bootloader/root/etc. which prevents future updates/upgrades to later software versions (so other existing guides have put me off for multiple reasons).
Is what you listed all I need to do (in both cases), or do I need to root (or bootloader unlock etc.) first?
Can I install any future stock US996 ROMs (ie when Oreo is released) once I have done this, or will I have to reverse the steps and start over with h910/ATT software?

Hi.
I also have a few questions (as I'm new to this and have found conflicting information, and in addition I have two h910 phones running different firmware versions, one v10m and one v10r).
1) My phone's aren't rooted - Is what Brian explained all I need to do, or does his explanation require a bootloader-unlocked/rooted phone to work?
2) Are there any requirements/restrictions (eg. original firmware must be above/below version XYZ - if yes, does it make any sense to update the firmware to the latest AT&T version first)? Can I install any future versions of US996 KDZ that way too?
Thanks in advance.

1. For 10m one, follow Brian's guide, for v10r, follow Brian's guide. Once you have unlocked bootloader/rooted, you have conceded official updates. Also there are no stock KDZ restoring methods to revert back to H910 but you can try a method to go bone-stock H910 if you're rooted and have TWRP recovery.
2. For H910? no, and no need to upgrade to latest att firmware. You can just jump the gun to US996
Edit: Make sure you take full backup dump with patched LGUP (from Brian's guide as well).
Thanks

Thanks a lot.
Two final questions (sorry to bother you):
1) Do I need to root/bootloader-unlock the device BEFORE proceeding to use Brian's guide, or can I just dump & then flash US996 straight away without rooting? (I read somewhere that root is only required if the signals fail after US996 conversion, but I'd rather ask than to skip root / just flash and then realize I messed up).
2) Will EFS be backed up in the process of dumping everything using patched LGUP, or do I need to back up EFS manually/seperately? If the latter is what I need to do, what is the best method? (I've found multiple, but most of them require root, which I'd rather avoid unless necessary)

1. Make a backup dump and flash US996 rom.
2. I havent known anyone who ran into corrupted EFS after crossflashing between H910/H915/US996. The restoring of modemst1,modemst2,modem, misc solves the problem of No baseband/IMEI. Do that at your own risk, there is no guarantee that you'll be safe from apocalypse

You do not have to root, just follow my post for flashing the US996 KDZ.
You only have to root IF you have signal issues, because that is the only way to fix them. Even then, you don't have to stay rooted.
I doubt you will have signal issues, but make sure you backup those partitions before you flash the US996 KDZ.

Hi.
I'm having trouble with LGUP. When I try to dump all phone files, it gives me an error 0x2000 saying "not enough hard disk space", even though there should be more than enough.
Device Manager recognizes the device under Ports as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM8).
Help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I managed to dump the files you recommended, but what about the rest? shouldn't I back those up too?

UPDATE: I flashed the first device, but it asked for a password that wasn't set up. UPDATE 2: solved w/ factory reset.
Thanks a lot and sorry for bothering you guys.
Glad you were able to do it.
As far as backing the other files up -- no, you can get those from a KDZ, so no reason to back them up. The partitions I had you backup are specific to your phone(s).

Now flashed both devices, but noticed that the signals are unstable. Network jumps randomly from no network to 4G and back to no network etc - not in high frequency, but often enough for me to have noticed.
Does that mean I now have to go the route of rooting or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks and sorry to bother you once more.
PS: just noticed it seems to run stable with only 3G enabled, but once 4G is enabled the problem starts.
