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.
Hi all!
Yesterday I received a software update for my H850 (made for Italy market): v20k
Official changelog says that it includes google security patch (as of 1-aug-2017).
The size of the update is approximately 104 Mb.
Have anybody also received this update? How's your experience? What other improvements have you noticed?
Update.
I also received update in Croatia.
Lucky people... Unfortunately, the versions sold for Israel market do not offer update after version 20c. I bought my device in Romania from a reputable store but it is made for Israel, world zone IL, and no updates... Is there any way to turn it into european version, to receive firmware updates for EUR-XX and not have error messages at restart regarding wrong locale?
Thank you.
We already have it on TMO few weeks ago.

I suppose you bought the phone from QuickMobile (like me) if you have the Israelian version. And no, you cannot bypass that error message without root (which is not available on this version of H850).
Btw, do you have VoLTE?
From Pcgarage. I understand that people buying from Evomag some 2-3 month ago got the same variant. How should I check for VoLTE?

From what I have read, there should be an option in the Call sub-menu in Settings. I don't have this option.
to get this update onto stock rooted devices:
1.) backup data with TWRP
2.) download firmware update
3.) flash fw 20i with LGUP
3.) reboot phone to be able to install the 20k update (this is possible because all data are not erased!)
4.) install update
5.) reboot into fastboot mode and install TWRP
6.) reboot into TWRP and install no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip
7.) reboot into TWRP and install Magisk 14
8.) format data
9.) reboot into TWRP and restore data
10.) reboot phone and freeze all unnecessary apps
that’s it!
i followed this way and now i am on 20k rooted with Magisk 14
I'm on V20i-EUR-XX and i don't receive it

20k is the July security patch on TMO-US

if unrooted and without TWRP you will only update your phone without loosing your data!
to use LGup, you need the tool "uppercut" too!!! Otherwise LGup can’t connect to your phone!

I didn't quite understand your guide, I think.
If I have TWRP and root on a v10 software version, then I should just backup via TWRP, flash v20i via lgup, then do the Ota update to v20k, then reinstall TWRP etc. and lastly I can just restore my data via TWRP?
What do you mean here:
"3.) reboot phone to be able to install the 20k update (this is possible because all data are not erased!)"
Did you mean to say this is possible because all data is now erased?
Thx in advance and kind regards

i think yes, it should go. But you should clean cache and dalvik too.
( i tried this way only between 20i -> k, but the data storage should have only custom installed app’s and data inside.
But think about, if you have done any changes to 10i system, you will lose them because system will be fully changed after this procedure.)

No!
In the case you have downloaded the update file using the update option in setup at first, you will be now able to continue updating from i to k without new connection to the net or cloud because the update file persists in memory.
(sorry, my English seems to be not good enough to describe this procedure perfectly!)

Hi, i've recently buy a Huawei Mate 10 Pro and now i want to sell my LG G6. For that i need to reflash a Stock ROM via KDZ but unfortunately, i can't.
I've try many versions of LG UP whith this guide and this guide or this guide and no matter what i do whith LG UP (Refurbisgh or Upgrade) the process end at 9% and nothing is done.
I'm on Fulmics ROM 1.6 with TWRP 3.1.1.0.
Someone can help me to flash a KDZ on my G6 ?
Thanks
Using uppercut?
I will try, thanks ?
I am using stock firmware and am looking to flash a different region KDZ firmware and i have the file.
Can i install the KDZ file using LG Bridge ? or using some other software ?
Do i need to start from scratch after flashing a KDZ ?;
Can i backup and restore the applications and data using LG Bridge ?

You can install LG UP and launch it with Uppercut, a guide here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
If you choose Upgrade in LG UP, you don't have to start from scratch, the Upgrade process doesn't erase your data, if you choose Refurbish, all your data is erased.
I d'ont know what LG Bridge is but i think it's the Backup App made by LG. If it's right, yes i think you can use it.

LG G6 Verizon - Stock, not rooted, with FRP lock.
Can flashing stock rom in this method remove the FRP lock?
just flashed stock with Uppercut.
I've installed LgUp and Lg Drivers, connected the phone, selected the proper .kdz file and flashed.
Hey,
I'm new to the whole KDZ flashing process (used to own a Nexus which used to be way simpler). I currently have a US997 G6 with Oreo (through OTA) and it's gotten slow after that update. I'd like to flash the stock Oreo kdz through my computer so I can get a clean install. I want to delete everything and start fresh. Between LGUP and LG Flash Tool, which one is better for a complete format to make my phone work like new again? Do I need to unlock bootloader?
Thanks
Good day!
I have a V20 Sprint right after DirtySanta. I want rooted Oreo, I live in Europe (sorry for my English) and use a local telecom operator (CDMA2000 1xEV-DO). There are many incomprehensible I did not find it on the forum.
1) Updating which firmware components increases ARB? I.e. aboot, modem etc.
2) How, having an img file or a kdz file, can I find out the ARB version?
3) Does ARB increase when flashing with any of these methods: "partition dl", "fastboot flash", kdzwriter?
4) Can someone share a Sprint V20 Oreo MODEM and SYSTEM dump?
5) Did someone try to cut the leads on motherboard @runningnak3d https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-to-brick-your-phone-for-funsies-v1.3673622/ ?
6) It seems to me that the best option is to use SYSTEM (and MODEM?) from US99620f (US99620f_00_1120.kdz) . Both LS997 and US996 support CDMA2000 1xEV-DO frequency. US996 contains no bloatware. Does only vs995, us996 and ls997 support СDMA and they all have ARB 1 on Oreo?
7) How best to try:
a) Flash (Installing KDZ US996 7.0 via patched LGUP "partition dl" -> Re-installing the same KDZ via "update") LS997 7.0 to US996 7.0; then flash SYSTEM.img US996 8.0 (+ core mk2000 Oreo US996)? If there is no connection, flash MODEM.img US996 8.0?
Or
b) The same without prior full flashing to US996. Which kernel @askermk2000 and TWRP @Phoenix591 in the case of such a "Frankenstein" to use - LS or US? Which kernel is better to use in this case: LS997_v2.1, US996Santa_v2.2 or US996Santa_v2.2-BETA38? Would it make sense to flash the LS997 8.0 modem?
8) What is the best way to flash the SYSTEM and MODEM? kdzwriter, LGUP "dl partition", "fasboot flash"?
Thank you guys for your work and time!
An LS997 on Oreo is on ARB1 and therefore completely locked down and unrootable, so I don't think anyone has made any dumps from it. No idea which specific portion causes the ARB to change.
I would not recommend cross-flashing a modem unless someone else reported it to be working. You have a much higher risk of completely losing all cellular signal. Does your phone in its current state have signal reception problems?
The rootable LS997 on ARB0 is generally assumed to be stuck on Nougat for stock-based ROMs, and I haven't seen anyone try to flash any stock US996 Oreo parts, so that could be quite risky. If you really want Oreo or higher, then you should consider looking at the LineageOS-type ROMs.
For more things on the LS997, I've written up a bunch of general information in this post on the V20 Subreddit.
how to check ARB status?
nevermind, i got it back how do i confirm ARB?

As far as I know, only the H918 (software version H91810p or later, includes all on Oreo) and LS997 (software version LS997ZV8 or later, includes all on Oreo) have ARB enabled. So you don't have to worry about it on any other model, including the US996. Or did you actually cross-flash the US996 Oreo KDZ onto the LS997?

I did cross flash my LS997 with US996 10f kdz

Is it 10f or 20f (your screenshots show 20f)? It's certainly interesting to see US996 stock Oreo cross-flashed onto an old LS997 as I have never seen anyone do it before. Do things actually function normally on it?
Anyway, everything's still on ARB0, so you can downgrade any way you like. If you haven't already done so, you'll need to be on 10f in order to do the rooting procedure.
First, I made a backup of all partitions using LGUP. I flashed the unlocked LS997 with US99620f firmware in the "Partition DL" mode via patched LGUP . I have selected all sections except aboot and abootbak. Then, in fastboot mode, I flashed recovery 3.2.2-1. I`ve tried 3.3.1-1, 3.2.3-5, 3.2.3-4, but they can't do format data correctly. Then I flashed modem, modemst1 and modemst2 from the backup in fastboot mode. Then in recovery I flashed the last mk2000 kernel for Oreo - LS997_v2.1-mk2000.zip . Then magisk 19.5
P.S. I need SDMA, so I was flashing the kernel and modem from LS997. For GSM it may not be necessary.

Very interesting. So all CDMA signal reception from your carrier and all root functions are working?
And did you use TWRP made for the US996 or LS997?
Any particular reason you went with Magisk 19.5 instead of a later version?
Also, there are a few more stock Oreo kernels for the LS997 that you could try (of course they've never really been tested since the regular LS997 on Oreo is unrootable):
- Phoenix591 has converted some of the mk2000 2.2 versions here
- ezzony's ezV2020 kernel also has an LS997 version here

it's 20f, not 10f. I had swapped toms to darn near everything on XDA but never happy with any of them. always something not working or I couldn't remove some built-in crap from so-called "stock" roms.
this last go I forget what I was trying to put on it but she stuck in the warning screen and wouldn't boot. i threw so many commands at inside fastboot mode, I am surprised it's not a paperweight. honestly, you name it, I sent it! wipe, format partition, didn't have a concern in the world, and I don't because I have a pixel 4a as the daily driver.
it should be noted, prior to this, I could never get LG Up to work as the app never recognized the phone. after fastboot mode not getting results booting into anything, I said f*ck it and put it into download mode. tiny bit of reading here and shortly after pulling the US996 20f KDZ file from LG, I had a stock RUNNING Oreo!
bro, seriously though, this Oreo runs the best that I've seen! it's smooth and fast! just a little on the heavy side. she's bloated and I need to trim the fat away. LG poisons the phone bad with all their garbage. runs like a champ though
I am extracting stock ls99720a Oreo from ls997 and will test it well before uploading it.
