[KDZ] H950PR 5.1.1 compatible with ATT H950 with Video!!!

Update 09/05/15 New User have to choose
H950PR will work if your upgrade from ATT 5.0.1 to PR 5.1.1, But if you try from ATT 5.1.1 to PR 5.1.1 will brick your device
Root your H950PR HERE
Hey guys, many of you have trouble upgrading to 5.1.1, or have a soft bricked phone or just want to have the international firmware (beacuse everybody knows att sucks!!!)
Well Great News, there is a variant H950PR (Puerto Rico) is compatible with us H950 with the same LTE Bands
This is from G4 Forum:
Currently if you have an AT&T H810 there's not offical AT&T TOT. BUT either if you need to go back to stock OR would like to run international firmware you CAN flash the H810PR (Puerto Rico) Firmware on your AT&T H810 either to go back to stock OR would like to have a FULL international experience.

Tips
***Remove the Sim Card and Micro SD
***Copy the KDZ file into LG flash tool folder... Run the programm like Administrator
***If you get "connection to server failed... try again in a moment". That's normal... Move the window (don't press ok or close the windows) you'll see it actually flashing, only wait to your phone reboot

This is great news for H950 users.
As an avid LG user I would recommend not to update with this firmware.
And here´s a little story to back this up:
I bought an LG D850PR version.
I accidentally flashed a tmo (D851) firmware to it.
It got absolutely bricked (no download, recovery, fastboot) (qualcomm 9008), to the point that even using the stock AT&T 10b or 20a tot of KK and LP will not revive the phone.
I used almost every single method to unbrick it (boarddiag, QPST, any flashtool you name it).
So if you mess up and your phone gets Qualcomm 9008 you´re done (Game Over).
Also I am overseas so my phones got no warranty at all and I have a lovely bricked D850PR.

I bricked my phone too, H950, it was my first time flashing a KDZ, and I did something wrong, I sent my phone to LG
But when my phone comes back, I will try again, or someone can try like last option before to send it to LG
I prefer have a kdz/tot for make a clean install, and it is h950pr to h950, not h955 to h950

I know... My phone was D850PR and the problem is there is no tot to extract the files from. Only KDZ format so I cant repair my phone with the original KK D850 files. Nothing happens it doesnt boot to fastboot or download. So I wouldnt suggest the flashing.

I just check and see that you have LGD850PR20A.KDZ, why you cant extract the files? I did it, I extracted from 950PR.KDZ some files like boot.img, laf.img recovery.img etc.... the reason why I cant use all the programs you said, is because the AP chipset is not supported (SP810 MSM8994) but the G3 is supported (MSM8974AC).
I know its hard to find information about it..... I hope someday we can get a tool that can fix
Well, that was my experience and I got brick

Boarddiag uses .mbn files.
How would you extract .img files from a KDZ.
Cause with LG Firmware Extractor you extract .bin files and only system.img
Boarddiag cant use KDZs because they extract in too long or too short files and with wrong extensions and weird names.
I even paid for online remote repair and the dude said its weird that with D950 normal files we couldnt repair. My phone is clean esn too.

I downloaded the SRKTools and tried to find the code to flash the partition and I found this
Code:
rename_to_bin.bat
rename_to_img.bat
So I think it use the .bin files and only rename it to .img..... same like LG Firmware Extractor, it merge all the system.bin files and rename it to .img
That was my conclusion...
It is hard to fix a QHSUSB_BULK, but you got Qualcomm 9008 AKA Super Bricked Mode XD same like me, for that we have to fix the corrupt bootloader, but I said F*** it lol Warranty!!

Haha lucky you, you have warranty. As I told you earlier I was left with a beautiful brick. Im waiting for the arrival of an Octopus Box, its got integrated Jtag. So I hope I can help others if I manage to unbrick mine. For now I'm really really pleased with Flex2 its an amazing phone.

SO i can try with this kdz?
Sorry i didnt understand. I can use this kdz to update h950 att to a stock and clean rom?
Or maybe i can get brick my phone? Thank you.

read the post above.... I bricked my phone and sent it to LG because if you do it wrong... you will get super bricked mode with no solution ATM
The reason why I failed..... I tried under Windows 10, I had an official LG tool installed (I should first unistall it) and was my first time flashing a KDZ.... I repeat if you know how to do it then Go ahead

hey, talking with @joseacuna, he said me:
I already tried that kdz before finding your tool and it is not compatible with the h950, I can't even finish the setup guide, it restarts in the middle. I did also tried flashing yours with that kdz in it and no success at all

yes, that is the G4 forums and like I posted "ATT G4 (H810) users can use the KDZ for Puerto Rico Edition (H810PR) because it has the same LTE bands to work"..... So we have the ATT Flex 2 (H950) users, in theory, we can use the Puerto Rico KDZ (H950PR) cause it is the same hardware and software
Read the op, I posted that link like a guide, the kdz file is in the first post

Has anyone tried?
I'm wondering if anyone has tried and succeeded in flashing this on a h950. I see people have failed but don't see where anyone has said it worked.

Need stock KDZ for h950
If there is a way to create a kdz from a phone running stock firmware i'm running stock still so if you tell me how to create one i will.

Update H959 to 6.0.1 using 510L KDZ

Dear all,
I just success installed 510L kdz on my H959 SG/HK/International. Don't have bugs or errors even don't have nt code error message. I would like to share the steps here but bear in mind there are some things you need to consider before proceed.
a) LTE-ME animation at boot after LG logo
b) Korean letter in dialpad
c) Dual clocks in lock screen and glance view
d) 3-4 Korean apps which only one is able to disable
Above are cannot be solved without rooting. I only manage to remove dual clocks on lock screen. Anyway, nothing serious for me as I will reinstall again after H959 6.0.1 released.
Here are the steps:
a) Download and install LG UP, SD810 drivers and WindowsLGFirmwareExtract (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575)
b) Download f510l kdz rom
c) Open WindowsLGFirmwareExtract , click open and find your kdz file, check both .dz and .dll in chalk below then click kdz extract. wait a minute, you will get file dz rom
d) Connect your phone to your pc
e) Open LG UP software
f) Select UPGRADE
g) Click on the three dots on the right side next to BIN FILE, select the DZ rom you have extracted above
h) Click on start
Noted: I noticed all the data and apps are deleted.

I guess the H959 TWN 32GB should be working too. I think I rather have the Korean version than all those Taiwan bloat wares. I will try it tomorrow and report. Seriously I don't care much about root anymore. I have N DP 4 on Nexus 5X stock not rooted, sort of like it. And 2 Huawei devices on beta testing M not rooted too.

One thing I feel is Korean more care about LG G Flex 2 users? I bet and hope there will be more updates coming on to Korean variants. I wish there is some genius found a way to root and the first thing I want to do is to edit build prop to remove the Korean letter in dialpad. Overall I am very happy to the 6.0.1 update. The phone very smooth! Only one thing I missed is the HIGH antutu benchmark which only make myself fun. ha

thx , will try and report tonight

Sorry...I am not sure. If your phone is not rooted, you can give it a try (so you don't need to go through rooted process again when downgrade back to 5.1.1 if anything happen. U just need to prepare the 5.1.1 kdz first just in case.)

i've tried upgrade this kdz on my g flex 2 H959 (taiwan), everything is O.K..
i ran antutu several times and got score 6xxxx, i also got similar score on 5.1.1.
i also flash it back to 5.1.1 using LGUP with 15c kdz without any problem.
i feel 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 both are very smooth, anyway it's very convenient to switch between these two versions.

Yes, very convenient. both 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 same thermal settings so the score roughly around the same. I feel H959 don't have MM because I already asked Singapore and HK LG Mobile and they don't have any info about it. So, just used Korean one and having fun first.

I believe H959 will get MM in HK/SG, just later.
Taiwan's variant may have chances not getting it.
There 3 variants share the same kdz, the 15D & 15E also have the TWN cust settings, but LG Taiwan decided to stay 15C for H959 in Taiwan.
H955A stopped updating since last August with 15b.

Updated 20b on my H959 TWN 32GB.
NICE....

The lg phone app didn't give me a link to the kdz or download it automatically either so I haven't proceeded yet

I thought AT&T H950 is the only one not publishing its KDZ for H950. So you better check with the ppl on the other thread. Or you will end up with a bricked phone. I got the feeling it will not work for H950.

H90022b Software update,October 12, 2017

I just upgraded two ATT LG V10 to H90022b released on 10/12/2017.
I thought it's just security patch but somehow I feel both get snappier.
And power seems improved a little bit. But I am not sure... maybe it's because it reinstalled all apps during upgrading ?
anyone has any issue or any improvement after upgrading to H90022b ?

ajutama si pe mine te rog frumos cu ultimul firmware lg h900
---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------
am probleme de securitate dupa update android 6 pe lg h900
am nevoe de firmware ATT LG V10 la H90022b si nu stiu de unde sa downlandez
poate daca fac update la lg h900 cu H90022b mi se va rezolva problema

Have 2-week-old Lg v10 H900, new, unlocked. It would not upgrade with LG Bridge or OTA, saying "device may be rooted". So went online and found Marshmallow KDZ file and uploaded to phone. It shows the Marshmallow is up but now I get errors like "com.android.settings has stopped", "LG VPN has stopped", and "lock screen settings has stopped". I cannot configure/initiate fingerprint scanner, and device reboots when I uninstall an app.
I have cleared all caches and reset to factory (recommended by LG tech help...waiting for additional solutions from them), all to no avail.
Any ideas??

I have the same problem I am facing the same error in setting app if you fix these
If you fix these error please help me out

can someone with this update share it please as some of are not getting the update ota.

wow, it's been a year.. not solution yet? i wish i had this read these threads before updating to MM ...

Me too..
Wish someone with H90022b is generous enough to extract the partitions of the device so we can flash it using Qfill. As long as I have the device, I promise to do my best to provide the other files such as the loader and xml files.
I dont really understand the purpose of these partitions, so we need all except modemst1 modemst2 fsg (where imei is stored), cache, and of course no userdata. The total size will be around 4GB but will be around 2GB compressed.
No harm but will help a lot for many of us.
If anybody wants to help but not sure what to do, feel free to contact me.
Thank you!

Problem with extracting partitions once on 22b would probably require root (at least for methods that I know of, such as Wanam's 'Partitions Backup & Restore'. Besides, most users who rooted it on lollipop never upgraded the software, users who would have 22b installed can't achieve root, and developers who could really help with this have already moved on. I just bought the AT&T version of this phone to use with the $10 Unreal Mobile unlimited monthly plan and realized that there is no root after MM update. I could live without root but I am also stuck with outdated 21z.

Fortunately there's another way.
We have to get the phone to Qualcomm 9008 mode.
There are 2 safe way to do it, I said safe because I did both a thousand times (hyperbolic, lol) without any problem or effect to the phone if it just "reading/extracting".
The 1st way is to connect 2 points on the board while connecting the usb cable to the computer. Of course the board need to be taken out from the phone.
I understand if the 1st way may not comfortable enough for some, then the 2nd way is using a deep flash cable, which is an easy mod to a spare usb cable.
If I have a 21z or 22b device, I can create these files in less than an hour and potentially help many 90021w user.
Both may not an easy thing to do. So will be great if anyone willing to lend a hand.

Hello,
Thank you for your efforts. Sorry I was a bit busy these days.
Initially I'm trying to get my luck by googling up what I see on your screenshots, but no luck.
Now I'm still trying to get a script to copy the phone's partitions. Seems like will taking a while.
I'll let you know if it's ready, hopefully won't be long.
Thank you again!

You welcome. I also tried to download a kdz for my firmware by using LG Bridge's 'update error recovery' option but it gives me error that "Your phone information cannot be checked. For more information, contact LG customer service". But if i use just 'Software Update' it tells me that I can update to latest version "V21W_00" through update center settings in my phone. I think that LG Bridge database only have up to V21W as the latest OS for LG H900 and it doesn't recognize that my phone has more updated version, so even if someone had Nougat they got OTA, they wouldn't be able to use LG Bridge or PC Suite to help us this way.
I am just tired of this phone and gonna sell it and buy a T-Mobile version. Good luck to you, hope you find a way to upgrade software on your phone.

I read somewhere that after 21w, at&t keep the firmware on their server, maybe that's why the only way to update is through OTA.
When will you sell the phone approximately? I may finish the script before it..

Maybe it will change something if we get the H90022b .. i'm little skeptical though. Because our issues with H900 MM started because we Flashed a H900 ROM over a H901 or VS990 board. the way i see it, even if AT&T releases Nougat, we still gonna have issues, even worse.. we kinda screwed..
i've been thinking, maybe the H90021w was somehow corrupted or missing some files...
Also, i've been reading some threads, people talking about reflashing the correct ROM, either a H901 or VS990 ... but i'm not ready to dry that considering none has done that succesfully..
For me, the solution would be find a solution to go back to Lolipop... at least it no issues. outdated maybe, but everuthing was working fine on my phone.
https://cdn-cf-3.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Going back to Lollipop is not possible because of antirollback. And I dont think if there's anybody ever found code board H900 on the pcb. Eventhough it seems not right but vs990 is the correct pcb board, it just the bad firmware (v21w). And there's no KDZ or TOT newer than v21w around as far as I know.
I think I found the solution, but I need a volunteer with v21z or v22b firmware on his phone

Strange situation on my 5 II

hi forum,
i open a new discussion with the hope that someone (more expert than me) with a bit of patience can try to understand the situation of my 5 II (model XQAS52).
Since i've purchased this device, a couple of months ago, i' ve noticed different bugs in the daily use... Various bugs reported in another thread here on XDA. A bit annoying, if you ask me.
The firmware version is 58.1.A.3.87 and i think that OTA updates are... off.
It is possible? There is a way to understand if i'm right or not?
In case, and i don't know why, my device will not receive any kind of updates, what can i do to solve this?
I've tried to repair it with Xperia Companion but every time my device shutdown during the process, and of course it doesn't complete the repair.

My build # is 58.1.A.5.330. I would probably ask Sony why I wasn't getting updates? I might go to Sony Xperia Support and try manually downloading updates.

manual updates in the app are useless: the app indicates me that the system is already updated. Same for Xperia Companion on pc.
I've spent 700euro for this device (new, of course) only to find it in this situation... it's shameful.

All variants of XQ-AS52 are currently having 58.1.A.5.395 build: https://xpericheck.com/XQ-AS52
If you have bought it via official channel you can definitely raise this concern with Sony support.
You can alternately check Software Info from Service Menu to check the exact region of your device. I can't think of why but I vaguely remember that if you device is cross flashed or not in the region it initially supported then you sometime don't get OTA updates(I may be wrong too). But first step is to check with Sony support as Patrickt mentioned.

in fact, if i launch Xperifirm, my model on the left pane has that firmware .395 (Customized EEA).
I've bought the phone via Amazon.it (i'm from Italy), but the store is situated in London.

when i open that link on LTA version, some info appears to me, and at the bottom, russian language is present. Is this normal? I think that my model was intended for russian market, but that store in London imported from Russia and flash the Customized EEA firmware. Is this possible?
Anyway, me too think OTA services are deactivated, at this point.

Hmm, looks like it. Create a support topic on Sony mobile forum or chat with support(if available in your region) to check if this device is official under warranty and then follow-up with them to solve the issue.
There can be alternate solution if your device is not officially supported by Sony(use Xperifirm or something like that) but first check if it's under warranty.

the truth is... i only want my device works properly. I really like Xperia devices (SP, M5, X, XZ, XZ2 and now this), and i'm really disappointed this time, sorry.
I'm seriously thinking to flashing it with and old firmware with Android 10. Maybe i'm wrong? I don't care, later with future updates, i can always flash it again with updated firmware (hoping for the best). My personal problem is that i'm totally noob in this kind of things, i don't wank risk to ruins my phone.
So, if someone with a bit of patience can help me to flashing and old firmware (i have it already: Android 10 Customized EEA) would do make me a favor. It doesn't matter if my OTA Services would continue to stay deactivated. But, at least, my Xperia should be works great with A10.

i contacted SONY with email, but is not very helpful to me. They say, of course, to send the phone to the original Store in London, or to send it in Verona city (here in Italy) for assistance and repair.
The problem is i have no other spare phone to use, at the moment when my XPeria 5 II will be in Assistency.
Xperifirm show me the different firmwares available for my model (XQ-AS52).
I suppose to download the first, perhaps (?) and flash it.
Every updated firmware there in the list have italian language?

I would try first factory reset. power button and volume down and factory reset. If that doesnt work you can try and flash the newest europe firmware for your 52 model

hi Cptmfruitloops and thanks for your reply.
I will try your suggestion: if i push power button+volume down will appear to me some sort of... recovery with various options, i understand right?

yeah power down and then hold power button and volume down until it vibrates then let go and you will be greeted with recovery and from there you can factory reset your phone. Before you do though log out of google on the phone and remove the device from your account (not required but recomended)

Done, but for now with the smartphone connected on Wifi, no system-updates yet.
No Google account logged in, nothing of nothing, no sim-card inside (i use my number and my account on another phone at the moment), but i don't think all of that is a problem.
I will wait a few hours, 1/2 days perhaps, if the updates don't arrive, i will try again a software-repair with Xperia Companion.
Thanks Cptnfruitloops. If you have other suggetions, i'm all ears.

yeah, i've used Newflasher (by munjeni) and everything's ok. The problem is that OTA are always blocked. I think this is the situation, basing myself on other users experiences in the Newflasher official thread.
Every new firmware i should flash it manually with Newflasher. This is... a little annoying of course, so i think to flash my phone again in the future, maybe 1 year, when Android 12 is available and perhaps with future updates firmwares, more stable.

Hi I'm in the same situation, I buy my xperia 5 ii on Amazon.de from Italy and it doesn't update. I will make the return.

hi xire68, i'm sorry to read this. From what i've read on the past months, many users here and on the web, are encounters our problem, the same problem: no OTA updates on their devices.
I don't know yet why this happens: the only way to update our smartphones is to use Newflasher (by munjeni), download the firmware you want and flash it. The method is very very simple, but i understand this is not a good way to updates our phones. We've paid for this Xperia, in my case 699euro and i expect updates like should be. And not to solve the problem with alternative methods.
Anyway, i understand your move.

Unable to update via Odin3 v.3.14 - "Secure fail check : (Bootloader)"

I have a several months old s10e, which turned to have no updates (Android 10, UI 2.0, security patch level March 2020(!) although was bought around April 2021). Not even an available "check for updates" button, anywhere. This is some real downer here, with Samsung semi-Android OS. I'm dealing with this issue for several weeks now, when I expected to simply update my device via OTAs.
Also verified with local Samsung service, according to IMEI, should be Android 11.
Anyway, as I found here,
S10e not receiving updates
Hi all, I'm a long time Samsung user (started with an S2, then S4, S7 and now S10e) though this is my first post here. I'm in the UK. A couple of years ago, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10e from an ebay seller. It all worked fine and the whole family ended up getting S10e's to replace their aging...

I've downloaded the correct firmware from Sammobile:

and followed the instructions: https://www.sammobile.com/wp-content/themes/sammobile-6/assets/static/instructions-fw-5file.pdf
During flash on Odin3 v3.14, process get stuck at "recovery.img" while on device's screen, "Secure fail check : (Bootloader)" is writen on red;
with no process bar shown on phone's screen. Next four lines happen when I exit "Download Mode". Tried different USB port, different cable, one prior firmware version (July 2021 release instead of Sep 2021) etc. Many times, same results.
BTW, "Download Mode" model (product name) and "about phone" model number are different: SM-G970N on "Download Mode" upper left corner of the screen (see image above), SM-G970F on "about phone" model number. Could it be that I've downloaded the wrong firmware (one shown under "about" menu)?
Checked "Phone info plus" app, I see that phone model (G970F, Israel) is different than CSC product code (G970N, Vietnam).
I've sent the device to a lab (warranty service). It was returned after over a week, with the exact same status + factory reset. I'm furious.
Do I have a 970F or 970N device?! Which exact firmware should I download\upload?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Can you please tell me which one should I look for on SamMobile.com, i.e. which country should I look for?
And - would it be a problem, trying to install N firmware while the device is (for some reason) defined as an F under device model (about menu)? Why is there such a discrepancy?

1. Doesn't matter which country you choose
2. No, it won't be a problem. There's a discrepancy because the device was rooted and modified to look like an F model

Thanks again, I'll try and hope for the best..
About 2, if the device was rooted to look like an F model, will it change anything else (for an example - carrier related issues due to not looking like F anymore)? Is there a potential risk with "changing it back to N"? Why was it reasonable to modify it to look like an F at the first place?

You always take a risk, every time that you purchase a used device. You can't inherently damage the device by re-flashing the official stock firmware. But a used device is never guaranteed to work the way you want it to, and it carries no warranty. So you'll just have to do the flash and then try it and see what happens
I have no idea why it was reasonable. You would have to ask the person that you got it from

Actually, it is not a used device, at least for the best of my knowledge.. I've bought it as a new device, although not from the local official importer. You say that this rooting and model modification means that the device is used?

Samsung (nor any other manufacturer) does not sell rooted and modified devices. So yes, of course it is used. The S10e is more than 2 years old anyways, so it would be almost impossible to find one that is still brand new sealed in the box

hi
gotta jump on this thread too,
I have the exact same issue, bought the phone brand new from an online store in Israel and can't get updates, can't use the Samsung camera app(had to use a different app for it) and recently the mic stops working suddenly and comes back only if I enter safe mode. If i flash the phone with the n fimware will it work normally?

If your Baseband Version starts with G970N, then yes, probably

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply
I have flashed(with odin 3.14) the latest firmware according to the baseband version(g970n) and now the same problem persists with a warning message in Korean every time I turn on the phone and also skmobile animation. At least now the phone is capable of updating and is up to date with android 11 and one UI 3.5, and also, the about phone shows the correct model. Any idea how to fix the initial problem? (mic stops working, camera fail on Samsung stock app)
It’s funny how the warranty just expired a few days ago

Sounds like hardware defect

Thanks for your help

just change the date to 2018 or 2019 with november 1

It's been a while even since the last message. I have to inform anyone who wishes to update their firmware to Android 12. You may prefer living with your Pie firmware because the Camera started to add some foggy effect on the captured images for no reason on my device after one of the updates -very likely after an April update at the time. I know because I'm not the only one with this. There are many complaints on this on the Samsung website and no one seems to care.
As far as I can guess, it is related to some effect added to the capured images during or after shooting. It resembles the photoshop effect Convert to HDR, creating some bright areas around edges while the remaining remaining image is foggy. How stupid of Samsung.
May be they just want you to replace a 4 year old phone, asuming you'll again buy a Samsung, even with the imposed circumstances.
Been a Samsung user for years but I'm looking for some other brand for my next phone due to this kind of Factory-Forced replacing necessities. Either your phone gets laggy in a year or two, or your battery inevitably dies and you can not find a single replacement one, roughly on a par with the original. I've tried dozens of different brands including the official service replaced battery. Your phone no longer runs as long as the first day you bought it and you eventually replace your phone.
Still having this crap device in my posession, I wonder if I can revert back to Android 9 Rom from Android 12? Or any ideas on this camera issue? (It happens on any other camera)

1. No device will accept any custom firmware without being bootloader unlocked. You never specified which device you have, so I don't know if it can be bootloader unlocked or not
2. Even if it can be bootloader unlocked, I highly doubt that an Android 9 custom ROM will boot on it, since its underlying firmware would be either Android 12 or Android 11
