Did you root or modify the filesystem in any way? Maybe the download was corrupted as well...

You might have to flash the TOT / KDZ for your model. You might also want to try letting your phone fetch the update.zip again, in case that corrupted. Flashing TOT then upgrading always worked for me.

With root it will fail every time. You ll have to flash stock before trying to update your phone. I tried 3 times but every time it failed to flash. Then i flash tot ls996 and then i applied update it took 15 minutes to install update.

Amen... Decisions, decisions. I contacted a developer about it... hopefully they are getting on it
I tried taking the update yesterday (foolishly), and ended up in a TWRP bootloop. Thank god someone posted a zip to flash to fix OTA induced bootloops.

Take a look at this tutorial I put together yesterday FlashTool back to stock
Hi everyone
So i'm having this problem: i'm trying to unroot my g flex 2 v 5.1.1 with a stock kdz file to update it later to marsmallow, but everytime i try to unroot it i got stuck on 9 % on lgup , the phone does go to download mode and i get a green message com 4 but after that it doesn't do anything else.
What should i do? the phone still boots up like usually but can't seem to unroot,
device : H955
tried lg flash tool not working get server error
also tried lg support tool sits at 9% at the upgrading tab same with lgup
Manage to fix it thanks to TheAxiks for sharing his system.img with me
Unroot via the same way as rooting your device with a stock system img
Did you tried Flash Tool (CSE) ?
You can also unroot flashing stock system.img

I have a working h955 15b Image @home. I can upload it today at about 4 pm (yet 8:30 am)
I had similar problem with windows localization..on my czech version of win it stuck on x%, but while using english version of windows there was no problem..
This problem was resolved for me by removing some apps from the device, the flash tool needs around 2gb of free storage to work. The first 50% of the tool's progress appears to be copying files to the flex 2.

EDIT: Looks like its not MM but some security update, so that sucks but I'd still like to know if anyone successfully got back to stock from rooted 5.1.1
Hi everyone.
I'm trying to find a way to restore my H950 to stock and completely remove any trace of root so that I can install an OTA update. I have tried installing the update with LG PC Suite and LGMobile Support Tool. Both of them say that I am on the latest software (5.1.1 H950v11?). It has been so long since I rooted it that I can't remember what method I used. If anyone has any idea how to flash it back to stock, I'd appreciate the help!
More Details:
I have an H950 (US AT&T) rooted on 5.1.1 and I just started getting an update yesterday saying that I have a system update available. When I tried to download and update, the phone I got an error while the update was still at 0%. When the phone restarted I got the "This phone is suspected in rooting..." Error.
I have tried following this thread [Guide] LG G Flex 2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method
but it didn't work. I got the flash utility to run but I still had SuperSU after it flashed my phone and the update still failed due to "Suspect in rooting."
I also tried following this thread [Tool] Easy Restore/Unroot Tool for LG G Flex 2 [09/15/15]!!
but I could not get it to work. The utility just hangs at "Working..."
Anyone successfully used either of these methods on an H950 with 5.1.1 to get back to stock?
Thanks in advance!

You chose cse flash and wiped correct? If you didn't that's why my guide removes everything 100% if you follow it correctly.

CSE flash? Sorry I didn't see that in your guide for the H950 on the AT&T network. I'm looking at your guide and not seeing the CSE Flash unless the LG Tool is the CSE FLash? I had the same problem with SuperSU left over and not able to update. I tried the default Upgrade method, then got a minios OS screen on the the Board method.

It's entirely possible that I am technologically inept, but I am having the exact same issue as the OP. I followed your guide (which was very helpful) for the TOT method, and there is no option to use CSE flash, or at least it's not discussed in the instructions.
I flashed my phone twice using your TOT guide -- pretty sure I followed it to the letter. It completed successfully, but when the phone rebooted, I still had root access. I'm not sure how to unroot this thing so I can receive OTA updates (and maybe sell later on down the road).
Thanks for the help!

Umm, so I found a possible solution on another thread in this forum. Maybe the answer was so simple that nobody thought to mention it. But apparently, you can just remove root access within the SuperUser app; just select "Full Unroot" or "Total Unroot" from settings. Then run this TOT flash, and you should be GTG. I am trying this now and will report as to whether I am successful.

Rooted or not you should be able to go back to stock. And CSE flash is for the kdz method of lg flash tool. Which I didn't realize what model they were needing help with. Also with the H950 LGUP should be used instead of normal flash tool to avoid any issues with the flash tool.

Hmm. Thanks for helping us out. So I am kind of confused. I reinstalled the Tot file using LGUP, and it completed successfully. I selected "REFURB" mode, and it completed successfully. But after it finished, my phone is still rooted. (I verified with root checker.) I just want to go back to stock so I can get OTA updates (and MM hopefully, when/if AT&T releases it). Now my phone won't get OTA updates because it says it's "suspected of rooting." I bought the phone used off of Swappa, so I'm not sure how exactly the original owner rooted it.

At this point you'd be better off waiting for a KDZ of MM when it comes out for the H950. (But remember, root will probably never be achieved for our devices on MM, if that's something you care about).
I remember buying TWO H950s. Both needed the OTA for the latest Lollipop. But despite several hours, several methods, and several hours at the ATT store, I was never able to get OTAs working on either of them. It was impossible.
And supposedly impossible for several other users on XDA, who couldn't get OTAs working for their ATT Flex 2's. So even if you manage to unroot, don't get your hopes high believing OTAs will work.
Did somebody ever able to go back to stock (H950) from rooted 5.1.1? Where did you get the TOT file?

I rooted the phone just fine using TWRP. but after the root I tried to also add Xposed and that's when I got soft bricked into a permanent T-Mobile load screen with the white background and T Mobile Logo at start up.
Here is the link where I downloaded the Xposed from: https://www.xtremetricks.net/install-xposed-framework-android-6-0-6-0-1-marshmallow/
I downloaded the Xposed Framework for ARM64 Marshmallow devices in step 3. As the Hardware Info app indicated that I had a ARM64 Processor. When I used TWRP to Install the Xposed Framework. I got soft bricked after restarting.
I tried Factory Resetting, and redoing the TWRP root process. But no help. I've been trying to find the Note 5 Firmware to download to see if that works. But I can't seem to find the right file. and I worried I may make the soft brick worst. So if someone could assist me and point me in the right direction to solve this issue I'd greatly appreciate it.
I also tried using Smart Switch but it doesn't recognize my phone so that didnt work either.

According to this post you just need the flash tool and kdz but haven't tried it yet.
I just attempted it and ended up erroring at 9% with error 0x2000 CEFS:Initalize() :/ Attempting a redownload maybe I have some bad files.

Was able to use uppercut by codefire(thread) to flash this kdz. posted in the other thread for this kdz also.

So what was your status before attempting? Did you do the unlock/root?
Sorry i typed that twice because i trashed my first post...
Thought i included it but apparently missed it the 2nd time
Im stock unrooted. So this was tested on a stock unrooted vs995. So ill be rooting in the near future. If someone doesnt test before me ill do it, but the uppercut allowed lgup to flash the vs995.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm probably going to stock restore too, currently on the unlocked deodex 996.
When you did the restore, did you wipe data before you started? I think I'm going to wipe and format storage since I'm on the vs996 Rom. Unless there's a way to wipe data in the stock recoverym

I didnt wipe data, i wasnt on deodex 996 rom. make sure u do the upgrade option in lgup
I tried to use Uppercut but it kept giving me an error that no devices were found. I have adb drivers installed and the LG mobile driver installed, nothing showed as error in device manager. Did you have any issues like that?
Edit: Weird, tried it again and it seems to work.
Thanks a million everyone, I finally fixed my Lg v20 vs995! I kept having failure trying it with Uppercut, but I finally saw that I needed to install 3 files to get it to work correctly, 1st you need the kdz file: VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, next you need to install 2 driver files, LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3_3.msi and LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe, and of course have UPPERCUT.exe. Finally after installing all of the correct drivers, and loading UPPERCUT, using the VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, I finally got it to work and you have to choose "UPGRADE" in UPPERCUT, but I completely restored my phone to factory!!! What a frickn blessling, I am so happy, because I was trying for days to fix this..... and I actually threw this phone in the trash, hehehehehe, but something made be take it out of the trash an hour later, THANK GOD!
