Help, H950 flash to stock for OTA Update?

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?

Waiting @tungkick to have a way to always go back, but i'm pretty sure if you flash only recovery TOT for example, you don't have any risk of brick nothing

There is a twrp recovery.img, but it's not yet flashable.

I have a bricked v20 and I have tried flashing this .tot and the other posted in this forum and I keep getting error messages at 9% on all attempts on two windows machines. Any ideas on what this issue could be? I am using LGUP version 1_14_3. Is this the latest build or the build compatible with the V20? Drivers were latest I could find also using the LG common.dll which I needed for LGUP to recognize the V20. This is my only way out of brick I think. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

mate, as of today, i have read that there is no dll file for the v20. i.e there is no updated dll file to recognise the v20 in lgup.
u might want to wait a bit longer before u can unbrick your phone.

Not good news.. it is just the dll? I mean i knew it had to be a missing piece because it was ready to flash. Every file failed at the same time. If anyone hears anything please post here or PM me just for a heads up. Im sure a few other desperate souls out there are anxiously waiting. Any reason the flash tools are incomplete? It doesnt seem like a big deal. Can someone here in the forum make one? Just couious.. i would gladly donate. Thanks for the info.

I don't think the flash tool is meant to be public, so they are probably leaked files.
I have a soft bricked LG V20 and have tried the LGUP DLL for every LG phone model I could find. The most progress I got was with the LG G5 dll and it only went to 10%.

not really sure as i am new to LG.
been reading up on xda relating to flashing and rooting (i came from samdung phones) this baby. i think being patient here is what you can do at the moment.also, not only the dll file is missing, i read twrp is not saving backup properly due to the new security protocols in place android 7.0.
take heart mate,i know it sucks to have a bricked phone.

all im getting is "Unknown Model"

Managed to soft brick my H918 as well, so if anyone working on this needs a tester, I'd love to get my phone back.

I appreciate it, wish I'd seen that the day before. I tried to go back to stock recovery to see if that would fix my boot loop issue, so, without access to TWRP, I'm hosed until we have a method to reflash recovery from Fastboot or Update modem connection..

I am screwed as well, I messed my phone up too, and when I turn my phone on it automatically goes the to the upgrade mode screen, I want to through away this damn phone, hehehe.

Sprint Users That are NOT ROOTED

The Software update is now rolling out for
ZV6 firmware, This WILL BLOCK DIRTY SANTA
Please don't attempt dirty Santa until there is confirmation
that the ZV6 was not fully patched, or if dirty santa can be changed to still root.
Edit:
If anyone gets a notice that the ZV6 update is ready to download and you ARE rooted,
please dont try and install it, but upload it and pm me with the files. Ill be able to get them to the right places and the device prepared
for the next update.
Thank you

Willing to help out the cause, could you send me guide on how to dump those files?

Yes I would love to have a system dump..... I lost all my radios in need of radios.

DirtySanta wont be able to be changed to fix a block. it relies on the dirtyCow exploit and if that gets blocked theres no fixing. When someone WHO IS ROOTED. gets the update notification please pm me that way i can go through the file and install it to my device.(same way i did the zv5 base) and ill get a ZV6 base going.
Word of notice too all. IF you try to install the update while rooted you will get a TWRP loop. The Fix for that is all over so please dont bug me for a fix.....

I have stock backups using flashfire..
But the baseband issue come from flashing a gsm rom or a aosp rom. Im not sure witch efs partition is radio only but i have them backed up.. If you look for my guide on how to manually program this will get those items to come back without flashing radios.
Flash my stock rom or the one from dirty santa..
Then follow the instructions to get to manual program. Youll need to go to sprint.com and get ur msl or ask care and say you need it to do a full reset using ##786# / you may also need to flash a asop rom again and toggle your network mode back to rusim or ull have to use cdma workshop to change.
As well as for your msid so you can program it.
The nam config got changed from rium to nv only and breaks ur efs connection. The prl probably is 162 also on your phone so you'll need to grab the latea 56021 prl also to flash.
Theres a ton of good info on that post and the adjoining one to it for fixing this issue.
Id need assistance in what parts of my efs backup i can use as parts contain my imei and msid etc and will booloader brick your device trying to restore my esn as well as error code my device for being cloned.

Some has to have the zv6 ota in their fota directory by now.. Humm.. I personally havent seen it but sheesh..

mhmm :/ we all could be enjoying the new version if someone sends me the file soon. Its located in the Cache partition. Exact file is /cache/update.zip

Sounds good. I did confirm this was the ZV5 update that came out in December 2016. My bad. The link still works in your quoted reply above, even though I removed the file. (Google has it cached?)

what did you flash because I flashed the kdz and went to stock 10p which you cant root as of yet one thing you could do it flash 10j kdz and then reroot your phone though not sure if all you data will be there but thats your best chance.

I wouldn't tell ppl to try and down grade to another lower kdz because it will brick their devices. Please don't tell ppl to do things that will cause them to brick their phones.

First of no need to be rude and second I asked him what he flashed because if he was still on 10j he could reflash and start all over and if you try to downgrade from 10p to 10j it would not brick your device because it wont flash because of the rollback version change and I have tried on my person device to confirm so before you put out accusations I would do my research and I never told him to flash it I told him he could try and either way if he flashed a 10p rom and has no os he would be forced to flash the 10p kdz to fix the issue because the 10j would not work and I have tested the kdz on my own device and works flawlessly so.... I am not telling anyone to brick their devices I have tested all of this before I even responded and then again it is your own responsibility and your own device you do what you want just because someone said something doesn't mean you have to follow it. All I did was give him a suggestion and it was on him to do what he wanted to his device from there.
ps. I have downgraded for 10k to 10j many times already and never bricked my device so do a bit of research before saying anything

Seriously I didn't think anything I said to you there was being rude. He said he tried upgrading to the 10p and it failed and he lost root and had to continue upgrading and finishing it without root. Then you told him to try to downgrade and he can't do that because he will brick his device I was just trying to give him advice not to try what you told him to try only because he was on 10p. Man ppl are touchy these days about everything.

sorry bro didn't mean to get on you like that I see where your coming from but you accused me of telling people of wrong information causing people to brick there device which is incorrect if you try to downgrade it wont brick your device it simply wont flash I have tried it a couple of times. I didnt see the part where he was already on 10p and I have flash 10p and tried going to 10j again but it wont let you and it wont brick your devices even if you tried it and then again sorry if I offended you in any way

Anti rollback 1
See the attached pic.
Development Section has TWRP flashable 10p.

LG H918 Update v10r

New update H91810r
Seems like a security update
kdz:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Gy-lUWvutnA8Rxd3eLMGs1PulxqhyGoO
Donate: paypal.me/HassaanM

It would be nice to have a stock ROM of this like they did on P and Q. With the stock kernel download on the side with KCAL, RCT implemented. ?

But I have this weird feeling we're screwed. There's only a few of us left if you've noticed.

If you mean a flashable zip, I'll be glad to post one.

Yes please I want to keep root

I'm so sick of trying to get my H918 TMobile to root, I'm on H91810q... I might as well just flash this kdz because I can't root, cant unlock bootloader or do anything else to be a android nerd anyways. I should flash this just for the pleasure of a little something to update my precious V20. Thanks for posting link bro

Uh im pretty certain that it's because 10q is NON-rootable. You needed to be rooted before updating to q. I am still on k for instance unsure of when I want to root but will not update to q+ for the root problem.
Oh and don't try to flash/kdz back to some lesser than q ROM, as you will hard brick.

Yea I know bro. I learned the hard way and luckily I didn't successfully revert to an older Rom.... I read a thread here and was like oh chitt I almost wrecked my phone lol. I should prolly wait till maybe q gets rooted but q does not look like its going to get any root at all, by as I read so far, devs are not interested.. So I guess ill go ahead and just flash this kdz

Would you suggest updating? I can't root as it is.

@BROKEN1981 It is still ARB 1 so if by some miracle a kernel exploit is found, you can roll back to 10p if needed.

Hi, there. I just bought a V20 T-Mo for a really good price but the phone issue is that every time I turn it on, it goes straight to the "Firmware Update" screen without pressing any volume keys. It shows in LGUP and all with no problem, the firmware version is LGH918AT-01-V10R-310-260-NOV-17-2017-ARB01+0 as it shows when I try flash other KDZs such as 10R_00 or 10Q. The only way to make it boot normally is to flash the V10i KDZ, it starts to flash and immediately it says "Error Tot Anti rollback version is smaller than device" (Image below), phone reboots and starts normally, but if I turn it off and on again it goes to the "Firmware update" screen again.
Does anybody know how I can fix this and help me here? I've been doing some research but can't get it sorted out. Thanks in advance.

Not the place to ask this. Go to the question section and make a new post after you have used the search button about that issue. Maybe edit this comment and try again.

I'm not bothering to update to 10r i was already there and reflashed back to 10p in hopes of 10p being the first to get root and recovery out of this security mess that LG and T mobile has spread worldwide. Meaning being that the 10p being the 1st stage of security patches they have pushed. Iv'e decided to buy another v20 thats on the old firmware and just do a mobo swap into my mint cond v20 it's the easiest route at this point. I'd think LG was to busy paying off lawsuits and replacing phones to be pushing these exploit crippling updates.

Dear LG V20 H918 users, I am facing ridiculously low battery life on my new device. do you face the same problem? or you solved it somehow? please pardon my off topic post...
