open LG UP.. select the kdz file
Select "UPGRADE" & execute... 10-15 min for installation & another 15-20 for booting up.

Guys, I purchased an unlocked AT&T LG V10. It's currently running h90020j. I haven't received any ota updates yet.
My concern is that if I flash the new software version, will my phone get locked again? I use Etisalat SIM card in it.
i want to update my Unlocked AT&T LG V10 to the latest update H90021W. i tried using lg bridge but it prompts me to update from the update center from the phone itself. when i try to update from the phone, it shows "Device is up to date".
my question is that if i update via flashing the firmware file, will my device be relocked by AT&T? i live outside USA and Etisalat as my carrier. i have already downloaded the .kdz file for v21w software. i worried whether the device will get relocked by AT&T. help me out guys.
also i am getting a pretty poor battery out of my V10. wondering whether the new update would give me a better battery life.

I have updated to H90021W months ago it went smooth and error free. all my data was kept in tact and I have face 0 issues since then. I hope they find a way to get the kdz file for the future updates. Also no it shouldn't relock the device mine was unlocked when it updated and stayed unlocked.
im sorry if this is in the wrong section but ,ok so i bought an open box galaxy s6 from becetech online and it would not let me update the firmware past 5.1.1 which made me a bit suss, downloaded root checker app and it came too me rooted. apart from not being able to update the firmware past 5.1.1 as far as im aware the phone has no issues and works perfectly fine. i downloaded the *samsung* phone info app, in general under manufacturer it says Samsung/verizon so im assuming that is part of the reason they rooted the phone as it needed to be unlocked from verizon to be refurbished? so what i want to know is how do i find out exactly what becetech have done to the phone and is there an easy way for me to update the firmware to nougat or at least marshmallow without stuffing the phone, like i said the phones running fine its just really bugging me not being to update. obviously im not able to work it out myself but i can follow instructions so any help from someone would be greatly appreciated so thank you in advance.

Could someone with a bit more knowledge please tell me if the reason I can't update the firmware is because the firmware csc is TGY when I'm in Australia or just because it's rooted or what? I'm getting no answers from the company who I bought it off

Are you trying to update via the phone update feature? If so this won't work as rooting disabled the ability Update using ota
First I tried OTA then downloaded samsung smart switch and gave that a go both no good. What I want to know is, if they had to root the phone to refurbish it will it brick it if I try to update? Won't it reset all the company I bought it off has done to it to refurbish it? Which I'm guessing is quite a process as when I look at the open source licenses there's a long list of files that have been changed. It just sucks that it's locked to a three year old version of the firmware that I'm worried apps will start to stop supporting in the near future? Apart from that I can not fault the phone there's been no problems, maybe I'm asking a bit much for a $400 phone?

From what I can tell you have a g920v variant if the phone Shows Verizon but the sure fire way to know what variant you have is turn the phone off once off hold home-power-volume down, this will take you to download mode but should tell you your variant. You don't need to root a phone to refurbish It, you can flash Stock firmwares via Odin. I really don't know why they would have Rooted It tbh, you'd need to contact them, but I know for sure you can manually download the latest Verizon firmware and the phone should work. Maybe they Rooted it as part of making it network unlocked, o really can't say
Ok I tried that and a bright blue screen came up warning about custom OS then press up volume for download and down volume for reset? I just pressed down as there was no other info on the screen but it does say it's a sm-g920v in the settings as well as the root checker app. Another thing was I did ring samsung support gave them the serial number and IMEI and they said an authorized modification had been done on the phone but could offer no other support as it wasn't an Australian phone. I'll keep trying to get some info out of the company I bought it off and try to sort it out thanks for your help :good:
AT&T Note 8 - purchased directly from AT&T
Stock - no changes/modifications
Baseband Version: N950USQU4CRD7
Build number: R16NW.N950USQU4CRD7
Android Security Patch: April 1, 2018
Looking at AT&T's updated history logs, my Note 8 seems to be stuck with the last update being the May 15, 2018 update. I just realized this as I've been seeing people talk about updates received and some emoji feature - which I don't have. I keep checking my device daily and it continuously says my current software is up to date - no updates available. I tried using Samsung Switch on the computer and it also says my device is current.
Thought about doing a Format/Hard Reset and starting fresh... but would that help my situation to receive the latest update(s)? Not sure it would help at all or what to do in this case.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

It appears as if it is stuck and doing a factory reset "format/ hard reset" will not fix the issue since it will report that it's still on the same baseband version.. What you have to do now is flash the most up-to-date firmware there is in order to get the stuff you want like the emojis.. I'm assuming you know how to use odin to flash firmware files? First you're going to have to download this baseband version N950USQS5CRG9 it's over 3GB in size and then after that's flashed you'll have to get this N950USQU5CRIA update which is 600MB and place it on your SD card and then boot into recovery mode and then select flash update from SD card and it'll all be done.
Also the way to get the 600MB update is easy you go to this website https://samsung.firmware.science and you scroll down some and the first thing you do is enter your phones model which is N950U and then under that you select the baseband version that you're currently on which is N950USQS5CRG9 after selecting that right underneath you'll see download for N950USQU5CRIA and that's the update firmware you put on the SD card!

I'm not familiar with Odin and flashing but I can definitely start doing some research and studying.
Any link to a good site to read up on the whole process? I'm just a lil scared of doing it all wrong since I'm a complete newbie to flashing.

Even if she isn't using an AT&T sim card, she needs to learn this process anyway because if she doesn't have an AT&T sim card she can't sit there and keep getting an AT&T card just for updates all the time that's why it's best if she learns the flashing process.

You will need to Odin to the latest OTA, it's currently N950USQU5CRL1. You will lose data, so you will need to back up.
You can find Odin HERE
and 5CRL1 is HERE

You'd have to be quick on every single flash but you COULD do it. Personally I would not recommend it. Doing a dirty flash that many times (it'll be a lot) is asking for trouble.

Just put any working Verizon SIM card ( borrow one from anyone ) and it will update your cellphone automatically, i did that with S8+ and Note 8 Both from AT&T, both AT&T logo gone but i got the update from Android 8 to 9, i'm assuming when ever you switch your SIM card to your company you will start getting the new updates with the logo from them again, let me know if this works, thanks.
hello. i purchases an At&t note 8 and paid for the unlock codes from AT&T themselves.
i popped in a new sim, brought it back to Africa where i work and ever since, it has refused to give me an OTA update.
Baseband Version: N950USQU4CRD7
Build number: R16NW.N950USQU4CRD7
Android Security Patch: April 1, 2018.
Looking at At&T website, other note 8 users and reading through Sammobile, I am obviously far behind on updates.
Can anyone help me fast track to android PIE?
Im so confused with the number of Firmwares out there. And considering i have had it unlocked, i do not know how to proceed..
Thanks in advance.
My note 8 had OneUI pushed to it about a week ago even though I kept refusing not wanting to while I was sleeping. It says my bootloader is v5. This is actually what it says (N950USQU5DSD3). My problem is that when I search for the firmware I'm wanting to downgrade to (the last oreo update possible for this particular phone) on Sammobile I can't find the one for At&t. I see ones for Verizon, sprint, etc. But nothing for at&t, which one am I supposed to use and where can I get it? This is going to be my very first downgrade/upgrade, really my first time doing anything like it on android. And I CAN do this right? There's nothing I should be aware of that makes what I'm trying to do not able to be done is there? The biggest reason I'm asking is because I have very limited tools to work with, I have a little 12" Acer aspire one (no disk drive) running windows 7 home basic, mobile hotspot from my wife's phone(the last software I tried to download and use came from xda out of a thread I found titled, "Stock Oreo N950USQS5CRF6 Odin*files*for AT&T*NOTE*8" it failed halfway through 2 nights ago during the beginning of storm, and the whole time it would only download around 32kbs so it literally to FOREVER! Only for it to fail halfway through. Was I wasting my time or was this in fact the firmware I'm looking for? If not, as I asked before, where could I find it?? Thanks a bunch for any help.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...n950u-stock-n950usqs5crf6-odin-files-t3821222
^^^^^^^Is this all I need? Do I need to follow this tutorial or a different one?? What version of odin, do I need anything else
Sorry for so much all at once, I really hate this update and want Oreo back.

Follow the steps from the above-linked post, and follow them very carefully. I did, and I was able to successfully downgrade from Pie to Oreo on my AT&T NOTE8.
I actually flashed the unlocked firmware, which has zero AT&T bloat. It works just fine for my needs. I don't think AT&T WiFi calling works on this unlocked firmware (I haven't tried - I don't use it).
Caveat emptor: whichever version of Oreo you choose (either the AT&T stock, or the unlocked firmware), we are stuck on the February 2019 Android security patch.
Only Pie gets the latest security patches. As long as you are ok with this, then proceed with the downgrade to Oreo!

A little off topic, but has anyone seen an AT&T security update for May yet? I'm still on April security, and it's basically mid June?
Tha k you I'll check it out when I get off work, I didn't know you could flash the unlocked firmware on a carrier locked phone
Let me get this straight. Can a locked bootloader AT&T SM-N9500U on Android 9, N9500USQU5DSD3 downgrade to Oreo? I thought this bootloader whould not let you go back.
I LOATH Pie and wan to go back to Oreo so bad, please tell me there is a for sure way. This is my first permanently locked bootloader phone and it's killing me not to flash an software I prefer.
I dont know I wish someone could tell me forsure whether it will work or not because now my phone is getting another software update notification so it's getting ready to force another update on me and I doubt after that I will still have bootloader v5. Can someone please verify whether my current bootloader (N9500USQU5DSD3) will downgrade successfully to back to oreo or not? I have the oreo firmware I want to use downloaded and ready to go which is (SM-N950USQU5CRL1). Can I downgrade to this without messing anything up?? Please I need a fast reply I dont want this new update forced to my phone and updating my bootloader to v5 where I can ever go back to oreo.

Yes you CAN downgrade back to Oreo. BUT you MUST go to a bootloader 5 firmware.

Yes you can go to that firmware. You will want to back up and allow it to factory reset. Be sure to use the modified version of Odin. Go HERE, post #2
Ok. I got an AT&T Galaxy Note 8 back in early-mid 2018. The first thing that happened when I booted it up and connected to a wifi hotspot was that it downloaded the latest update.
That was the last update I received.
I am trying to install Android P onto my device through Odin (Using 3.13.1B PatcheD). I tried OTA first, but when checking for updates, it says that my phone is up to date. I am currently on build U4CRD7.
I called AT&T and they told me that I have to contact Samsung to download the update, and also that it could be a hardware issue (?) and to possibly send it in to Asurion. After that, I called Samsung, and they told me I had to take it to the closest Best Buy. Now, I don't have a way to travel the ~30 miles to the closest one. So, I decided to try Odin. (I have used Odin before, so I am somewhat familiar with it)
I downloaded firmware version U7DTC1_USC from a post here on the forums. I placed all files in the correct areas, went to download mode, tried flashing, and failed. I've gotten three different fails. I changed cables and ports and failed. I tried downloading firmware version U7DSK3 and flashing that one, thinking I might have skipped too many updates (if that is a thing... I've read conflicting information). Failed.
The last failure was a "Complete(Write) operation failed"
Besides taking an expensive rideshare to the nearest Best Buy, is there something that I am missing in trying to update this phone? Could it be a hardware issue? Have I missed too many updates? Do I need to progressively update my phone? (I don't need answers to all these questions, just the most relevant answer please)
If I have posted this in the wrong area, I am sorry. This is my first post on XDA, and I usually don't post in forums anywhere, I just lurk and look for answers to my questions. I haven't been able to find a matching problem.
Edit:
More digging and I found this in another thread.

...You need to manually update it yourself to the next update version which I think is ... using Odin and then it'll be able to do it on it's own.

In further replies, he suggests updating to the firmware version that I am currently at. What is an "update version?" Do I need to just go one firmware update up? Do I need to go one BL version up?
Phone successfully updated
So, I downloaded firmware version U5DSC1, dug up my 10 year old laptop and switched from the patched version to the normal Odin3 3.13.1.
I don't know which change allowed the update, but I was able to update.
After U5DSC1, I had no problem updating to U7DTC1 through Odin (though the system update feature on the phone still did not pick up any updates after U5DSC1).

Your problem was simply because you were trying to use the patched version of Odin and should have just used the newest updated version of Odin. There's no reason to use the patched Odin to flash the normal firmware. People use the patched Odin when they're flashing modified firmware.
Edit: By the way, if it's an AT&T device and you're using say a T-Mobile or Verizon sim card it will not update unless you put an AT&T sim card back in it. It's apparently picky like that. For instance let's say it had AT&T firmware on it and you have a Verizon(or other) sim card in it, the phone is expecting to find and download the AT&T firmware for updates the problem is that Verizon(and others) do not carry AT&Ts firmware they only have their own versions of firmware that's the reason some people don't get updates.
