OTA after KDZ - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hello
I updated my G5 to Android 7 with kdz provided on the forum and everything works great, now I was wondering will I still get OTA updates if LG release some fixes and improvments?

Yes you will. But if you root phone, updates won't work.

Some already received OTA.
If you want to know when you will receive it, you have to ask LG or your provider for branded phones.
non-branded phones are last
its LG ! stupid politics !

What are "non-branded"? Are these the LG G2 Minis that are not locked to a specific carrier?

Branded version aren't actually locked, this happens only for american carriers.
In Europe branded versions are just... Formality. If you want, you can wait until the official release for your phone, but you are able to flash the kdz without problems.

Okay..thanks for answering...
Is it worth it to wait for the OTA and update to 5.0 or should is it better to stick with Kitkat?

Why you still waiting when we already have firmware lollipop just flash KDZ file with flash tool and that's it don't no more.
Here you can find some info about flashing and downloading Lollipop for G2mini check it out: www.g2rom.com

Wise and respectable choice, remember that using a firmware not designed for your exact version invalidates the warranty. But if you flash later your exact firmware (can be found online through youilr IMEI), warranty comes back.
Also, no one knows when will it be released, it should happen within 1-2 weeks max.

Thanks for replying.. Can upload the lollipop screen shots...
I'm back from CM12 to official 5.0.2 using KDZ since yesterday and i'm happy for the moment !
Everything seems to be OK, GPS works well now and LG UI and features are back.
Would like to ask if there is any news regarding the OTA update?

That's a bit odd. I'm on KK 20H (Rooted, unlocked) and I've never received any 30x OTA. I was under the impression that Lollipop was never officially released in the UK?
What firmware were you on? Are you carrier locked?
Did anyone check it for stagefright?

Wtf is wrong with this world...:

Why on earth are carriers being able to push out updates earlier than LG itself?!
Still nothing for the Europe Open D802 (which should get updates directly from LG)...
Absolutely ridiculous...

Checked via LG PC Suite as well as via OTA, but nothing...

I did it with one click.I was lucky the first time but you must try few times sometimes.
Imagine if there will be 5.1.1 from LG at all for us when will come to the open 802. Lol.

Root on the horizon?

Hello all,
Has anyone heard of a potential root for MM (If you've taken the update via OTA or LG Bridge) in the near future?

"I've replaced my V10" - that does not mean root confirmed. "Grogg88" I believe changed to a non-LG phone running on MM and got root. He nowhere says it's on an LG V10 -But that he changed is critical because LG has their own firmware tricks...

I already knew MM doesn't have root. The OP never specified with LP or MM so I just commented. So I'm not telling lies about root on the H901. I was just not specific like the OP.

Now we know he did get a new LG V10 from TM, but it was still a Lollipop - lucky guy... that is why he was able to root...the old fashioned LP way...

Hi,
I read the thread and I have a question. If you used LG Bridge instead of OTA can you use the method in that thread to obtain root or am I still barked?

Yup, but only for the time being

No. If you go ota or LG Bdridge, you are stuck until root is acheived. If you go the way of Eliminator74's version, you will have the official update with root. LG
Bridge and OTA = official MM without root and custom recovery.
Eliminator74's Rom = official MM with root and custom recovery.
Word of warning, no matter what route you go for the update, you cannot go back to lollipop. Trying to go back to lollipop will result in a bricked phone.

Here is a new way to upgrade your phone with Firmware Finder.

i use the windows version and didn't found any VIE-L09C432
I have now received update notification through the firmware finder app. It is the b360 version for VIE-L09 model. I am currently downloading it now, so if that works, I'll post a new thread on how-to.
Hope this works

US Cellular = Fail?

Here is what someone at US Cellular told me over chat today... Who knows if they know anything or not.
"At this time Android has not released the Oreo software for the LG G6. Once it becomes available it will be on our website"
Still waiting for it. ?
I tweeted at them a few weeks ago and got an answer that they didn't have any information about an update.
https://twitter.com/johnWayne007/status/994088970312192000
On a separate side note, are you on 16b or 16c?
You could wait for the us997 version for Oreo when they release it and flash it I have flashed the nougat versions and it works great!
I have been on 16c for some while now. Battery life sucks with this phone. Some days while at work and connections are weak/switching all the time I get maybe 1.5 hours SOT. Other wise I manage 3 hours average.

No because the model numbers are different
Sadly still no us99720a kdz.
US Cellular still claims they are waiting on the "software to be released" to push Oreo to their LG G6.

?? Just got done chatting with their support. They told me the same thing ?.
US Cellular is terrible when it comes to updating or upgrading Android software. I once waited a whole year, year and a half to get an update to the next Android version on a device ?. They really need to pick up the ball when handling software updates ?.
I just got Oreo OTA pushed to my US997U today. Running smoothly so far.
Still haven't gotten the update on my US Cellular G6. Also there still isn't a kdz either.
?? Here is what LG sent me when I got in contact with them through email after previously chatting with multiple US Cellular support staff about the Android Oreo update for the LG G6.
