I have an 950U running N950USQS2BQL5 firmware but the boot screen and software is ATT branded.
It's stuck on 7.1.1 for obvious reasons. Is there any way to get it to Oreo besides flashing ATT firmware on it?
Thanks for all help!
If I remember right, the files from Samsung look at the installed sim card and install the correct version from that. You "should" be able to Oden the latest firmware and it will correct itself. It will wipe everything on the phone, so make a backup.
I bought a V10 H901 in Aliexpress and the IMEI sayd that was a H901BK. It was with the T-Mobile software and Android 6 MM. In PC it said the H90121j and I wanted to upgrade to 7 Nougat and I put the phone in the PC and after the update with LG Bridge it just bricked. Died and do not back to life. I unbreacked my phone with this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/help/lg-h900-unbrick-via-qfil-t3739309
The Unbrick H901 SD card didn't work, but this worked.
After that, I tried to install all H901 firmwares and didn't work. So I decided to install the H900 firmware and the phone finelly worked. It's working everything fine with no malfunction. Just the Android back to 6 MM, but with the AT&T apps.
I didn't understand nothing. My phone was a fake H901, because is a Refurbished phone. I'd like to install the Nougat update. Is it possible?

Just check at&t website= https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...bystep_KM1134561?make=LG&model=LGH900&gsi=oyB
at&t is just behind as always with updates. The other carriers like Verizon, T-mobile etc just push the updates to the devices without sim card or other crap steps

I have same exact problem with same refurbished phone h90121j I unbricked with the same method but I cant install AT&T software because LGUP says that I can't go from H901 to H900. I can flash any other H901BM firmware but my phone bricks again and again.

You'll probabilly need an Octopus box to reinstall the firmware. Try to find someone who can help you with that.

I have opened the phone and find that the motherboard is from VS990 (Verizon). What a scam!

Yes. I have used this method to unbrick from 9008 mode and get download mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/help/lg-h900-unbrick-via-qfil-t3739309
Then extracted dz from AT&T H90021w.kdz using LGExtract.exe
And then flashed dz to phone via LGUP.
It's strange but AT&T firmware is only one that working in this case. On my phone without any bugs, fingerprint working, can install apps from play store etc. Only downside is that you will be stuck on Android Marshmallow but at least you'll get working phone.

i followed your same method, mine was a tmobile h901 with korean mobof600l , no other firmware worked except this one, so now my tmobile became a at&t with bugs, fingerprint ,vpn, even imei is zero cant make calls, . i didnt use dz just the kdz directly and it work, can someone tell if using dz brings back the radio and fingerprint,

Probably this method wont work on korean models without bugs. Not sure about kdz and dz. You can try.
Thank you so much!! I tried for a long time to restore the phone, finally the phone works, YOU ARE DIRECTLY HERO))
Hello all,
I'm really new to the phone modification scene. I tinker around with computers mostly. I have an unlocked sprint version of the LG v20, the only problem is I am not receiving data on my new carrier (even with the correct apn added). I'm pretty sure this is a firmware issue. I was wondering if there was a way to flash the us996 or verizon version of the phone to get data to work. I know the sprint version is super locked down. I just didn't know if using a modded version of LGUP and the us996 kdz would brick the phone or not.
Thanks and cheers,,
I have a T-Mobile OP7 pro that I've had unlocked from the network, and I've been running the international version of OOS for some time. This week I tried changing to Havoc OS (because I've used it on previous phones), and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I don't even get to the ROM's boot screen. I know I can put factory software back on there, but I'm not ready to give up unless someone here knows whether it's impossible to run AOSP ROMs on a T-Mobile OP7 pro.
You're better off converting the phone into the international variant using the MSM tool. I have a converted unit, and all ROMs work properly after conversion.
I purchased a fully unlocked OnePlus 8 (IN2015) but have discovered that only the OnePlus 5G UW (running Verizon firmware) can use all of the Verizon network features like wifi calling, vvm, etc. I have reflashed carrier phones with global firmware in the past, but is it possible to go in reverse? Where do I find the carrier images?
I certainly can't speak to the whole "going in reverse" thing, but you can find the Verizon MSM image here. Worst case scenario, you try and it fails, MSM back to the unlocked global and you're back to square 1.
