Help with UPPERCUT & LGUP

[UKseagull]

I have an O2 UK H870 and I'd like to use UPPERCUT & LGUP to replace the O2 software with an open GB/European software version. I have the KDZ on my computer.

I've already used UPPERCUT, but I selected 'Upgrade' and although it has upgraded my software to V11i-234-10, it's still showing as the O2 version. Build number NRD90U.

I've tried using 'Refurbish', but I got an error message, something along the lines of 'Unable to Refurbish with this software'.

Do I need to factory reset my phone before using the Refurbish option? I'd appreciate any help, as I don't really want to reset my phone if it's not going to work anyway.

You should try to flash the KDZ and after the flash is finished (before it boots) make an hard reset.

Thanks, but I'm not sure if I understand that correctly.

I'm not able to flash the complete GB/Euro KDZ over my O2 software version. It doesn't appear to work without giving an error, I only seem to be able to do an Upgrade and it still shows as being O2.

I'll repeat myself then, and I'll be a bit more clear.
Whats you should try is flashing the kdz with upgrade option (since Refurbish doesn't work on any G6 model) then right after the flash, before the phone boots, enter in the hard reset menu with button combination and perform an hard reset, then let the phone boot and see if the firmware is changed, if not I think there is nothing you can do to change firmware.

OK thanks for that! :good:

Just an update in case anyone else is thinking of doing the same.

I tried the hard reset after using Uppercut with LGUP and it appears that phone still has O2 software. The software is slightly newer, with the more recent security patches.
