After the Snapdragon 820, AT&T made solutions for many brands.
For example you have the Samsung S7 edge (MSM8996 cpu) solution.
3-4 years ago There is still no solution for the LG G5 H820.
1.5 years ago I was nervous trying to make root and lg v20 dirtysanta tried files, the phone crashed.
I'm getting 9008 fashion with tweezers.
I did experiments with emmcdl.exe and a lot of programs. PBL SBL is activated and the field command is invalid.
Is there a solution?
Sorry for my bad english, I used google translate.

I remember it took hard to bring up a tool to unlock the bootloader of the LG G3, but at this time you guys got a lot more experience. I bought this phone on Amazon, and they was sending me this. I might can return this phone as well if there is nothing available, what are the difference between the H850 and the H850K anyway ? I know it is associated with some phone company in Australia, which is why it is locked. Since I have nothing to do with the I would be glad on a solution here.
tl;dr: H962 thinks it's a H961N and doesn't want to update. How to fix?
A couple of months ago my V10 bootlooped. It was a H962 purchased from a grey reseller meaning LG in Australia (where I am) and LG in Taiwan (where the phone was from) both vehemently refused to service the phone. All this was within 6 months of purchasing the phone. This wasn't too surprising, however strangely enough, the grey seller agreed to fix the phone (after constant harassment on my behalf). As the phone was dead, I figured it was worth risking money on postage so I sent it off and after several months (and after more harassment by me) I finally got it back, fixed.
A few months passed and I noticed it wasn't receiving any updates so I dived into the settings and realised that something fishy was going on - the phone reported it was now a H961N - keep in mind I purchased a H962 to begin with.
The software thinks it's H961N however all the branding on the back of the phone says H962. I'd assume they took the guts of a H961N and stuck it into my phone but LG Bridge reports it as a H962 when I try to update (although it fails).
Updating using the update centre does nothing.
Updating using LG Bridge comes up with errors.
Updating using LGUP comes up with errors.
I've tried various versions of KDZ & TOT for both models using various methods and they all spit out errors.
Attempted on both a Windows 10 machine and a macOS machine.
All the latest drivers and software downloaded from LG.
I've tried yelling at the computer, phone and neighbour's cat and nothing works.
(Oh, the reseller refuses to answer any of my emails. Legally they don't need to and they didn't even have to fix the phone to begin with.)
Android security patch level is June 2016 which has me paranoid. Is Russia now watching me eat pizza in bed in my underwear? Are they recording my every move? Does the Kremlin judge my choice of pineapple on aforementioned pizza? I'd like to update to the lastest version possible to help stop all of this... but how?
Unrelated note, thanks to this phone I am no longer a fan of LG. This is the second boot-looped phone I've had and I've had to replace the rear lens cover for getting scratched so easily, replace the speakers for blowing up after a drop from a table onto wood floor (aren't these supposed to be tough) and the phone stopped vibrating (easy fix but I can't be bothered buying the parts as they aren't locally available). I should retire the phone however it's still a tough little beast so I'll keep on going until it refuses to stay alive.
Your phone is refurbished my friend.... Any wrong update and you will get into a bootloop
Problem fixed after some more lengthy digging.
I refused to accept the unhelpful "it's refurbished so it can't be done" answer as it made no sense given the fact that it wasn't on original firmware, suggesting an upgrade was performed prior to it being returned.
For those people in the future wondering, evidently there are 3 versions of H961N (I was under the impression there were 2). The phone wasn't returning the proper version code. Updated with the proper kdz and everything is fine. It still reports it is both H962 and H961N and likely won't ever auto-update.

I have looked for some way to unlock this device outside of U.S., but I have not found it maybe someone has already done it and can help with this after the time it has passed from its exit.
Hi there,
You can try buying a code. There are quite a few websites I've used for this in the past. If you want, I can recommend some.
I am currently a customer with Cricket Wireless. All of their phones come with the bootloader locked, which I didnt know when I bought my E5 Supra a couple of years ago. Last week I plugged it up and it started smoking randomly. It's fried. I did a good bit of research and decided for under 220, the Moto G7 Power used off Ebay unlocked was my best bet. I made sure it was rootable, I thought.
The seller had it listed as "Motorola G7 Power Unlocked ATT/Cricket". What came in was a Verizon variant (XT1955-6) that had not only a constant error that I wasnt using a verizon sim but had a locked bootloader. The error thing, I could live with or fix. I was on the phone with both Motorola and Verizon with the hopes I could sweet talk them into something, explaining I was an app developer.
Well, im sending the G7 Power back. I was going to get the XT1955-5 which could be unlocked through Motorola or the international version and just flash whatever bands were needed. But at this point, I think I want to steer clear of Motorola altogether. Everyone in the G7 forums is constantly bricking, some hard bricking and actually sending them back.
Models Im Considering
One Plus 5T
LG G7 ThinQ
Samsung Galaxy A50
Samsung Galaxy S8-S9 (whichever I can find for that price range)
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 or 8 (whicheveer I can find for that price range)
Sorry for the background but, does anyone have any advice or recommendations on what a good phone with an unlockable bootloader for under $220 would be? (used is fine) I dont even really require it be sim unlocked, so long as it doesnt have a locked bootloader. I see the Pixel guys ran into issues with bootloaders being locked so that ruled that out. Im not too concerned with camera or anything like that. Mostly freedom to do with it as I please and a smooth processor lol. Thanks in advance!!
i want to thank you in advance for having this site. ill make it as simple as possible. i bought a one plus nord n20 5g, i got verizon carrier on it 2 mos ago and two days ago tmobile locked the phone. i bought it over a year ago and have no acct with tmobile. in my attempt to get my phone back i did something to it and now its stuck on a screen that says qualcomm crashdump mode, dm-verify device corrupted :verity_hadle_err. i admire you guys for being able to understand any of this. i just want the easiest way to get my phone back to nominal working order i thank you
If T-Mobile blacklisted a device, you're holding a device that they believe they own or hold a contract to. I'm really late but hopefully whoever sold it to you had a good return policy.
