Hello,
I'm an LG G5 owner at middleeast
3 weeks ago maybe we had an update detected on LG Bridge for nougat but there was error while downloading it . so i simply got the link to download the kdz file from the logs of LG Bridge and flashed it to my phone manualy
Recently the update became available OTA to the other users , i just wanna make sure that there was nothing wrong with the kdz file i flashed
But i notice false battery stats reading and prolonged time of charging
Can you please provide me with any information?

I have the same phone, updated to nougat through kdz file, did a hard reset after flashing and no problem at all( first 2-3 days battery might empty faster but after that it gets better).
Updated using KDZ no issues so far but battery drain is high and the most is taken by Phone IDLE.

anyone have any idea when india will be getting the gingerbread update for the p500? i just updated the latest firmware to android 2.2.1 or V10C through the LGMobile Support Tool (which really pissed me off as it kept on hanging and i had to start all over again).
weird thing is i had to re-download the same update of 126 mb loads of times and i was surprised it wasnt the gingerbread after all. it did get stuck midway at 37% while installing and i had to restart my phone by taking the battery out, but when the phone started, it said the latest firmware was installed, which is a very freaky way developed by LG to install updates. was wondering if ive done anything wrong??
also, is V10C really as bad as some forums say?
w.r.t backup - do i need to backup the apps even if they are saved on the memory card? as the support tool says, it needs to by done via astro, as it only backups contacts, photos and videos. any way to save the messages and settings?
So my G3 started having issues a few weeks ago. I was rooted and running a debloated stock ROM (can't remember which). So the original issue that I had was the screen would freeze and slowly fade to black. I did some research and it sounded as if this was a hardware issue (maybe the digitizer). I put up with that for a few weeks and then my phone started to randomly turn off and restart. When the reboots started my phone only stays on for 5s - 30s then crashes and reboots. I had run the debloated ROM for ~ 8 months and never had a problem. I tried flashing a different ROM and soft bricked my phone, which led to me use LGFlashtool to KDZ/tot back to the stock 4.4.2 ROM. It is not a battery issue as I have tried other G3 batteries in my phone and it still crashes shortly after start up. I am currently sitting in the system recovery menu and have been for ~ 5min with no crashes or screen issues. Anybody have any ideas as to what might be the problem. I am going to try and use Flashtool again this evening, maybe it was a bad flash. Thanks
I haven't noticed any screen issues, but I am having a similar issue with the reboots. I have been running JasmineRom 9.0 since it was released in October with no problem. A couple of days ago, the phone started rebooting just sitting on my desk. Sometimes it would restart successfully, other times it would just turn off and require a battery pull to get it to reboot. Sometimes when I am using the phone it will lag, then freeze, and reboot.
I tried a clean wipe and reinstalling the rom, including an internal memory and SD format with no success. Finally I used KDZ to go back to 12B, and the problem persisted. Last night I used KDZ to go back to 10B, again with a full wipe, with no success. As a final effort, I'm going to TOT back to the official 10B (10B_03) and take the OTA update.
I can't think of any other options, but I will update with results.

If you have an aftermarket battery or purchased one online claiming to be oem, it could be the culprit.

I am using the original battery the phone came with. I can try to trade with someone tomorrow and see if that helps.

Yeah, definitely try LG Bridge. I also couldn't update for ages even though I kept reading that Marshmallow was out in my market. Then I connected it to my PC, opened up LG Bridge and bam, there it was.

For some reason the OTA is not available yet.
I am having troubles as well
I am having an issue updating my LG V10 aswell, I just bought it from ATT a few days ago and the day i bought it it showed that i could update to marshmallow but i had to wait for an available wifi connection so i hit remind me later, then i went to a buddies house and the notification popped up again so i hit remind me later yet again, then i got home and waited and waited no notification, then i went to about phone software update and then clicked checked for software update, all it said was communicating with server and never did anything no download notification ever popped up.so i tried clearing cache and that did not work i tried restarting phone and clearing cache and that did not work i tried factory resetting twice and clearing cache and that did not work. I also tried searching for software update through LG bridge and it keeps telling me that my phone is up to date, and so does the android software updater on the phone tells me the same thing that my phone is up to date, I am still on 5.1.1 and i cannot figure out a way to force this device to download the dang update. I have tried all venues that i know of, is there some kind of master reset like to restore the phone to stock other than factory reset? or is there some kind of firmware cache on the phone that i can clear in a folder using a file explorer?
I don't know, for me lg bridge works fine and find me instantly the update.
Maybe try a restore from lg bridge
Hi guys,
I have Tmobile LG V10 H90120j which its Wifi MAC address changes on every reboot.
Long story:
It was originally Lollipop, I updated to stock MM v20e then v20j. It was still OK after that.
Then I tried to root it using tungkick's method. However, the bad luck began, I forgot to change the Process to Upgrade instead of Refurbish when upgrading the TOT file. The phone bootloop to TWRP after that. Big thanks to @tungkick, he helped recover it.
I realized that from then the Wifi MAC address keeps changing on every reboot. The phone also cannot automatically get APNs from provider (I have to manually add them).
The really bad problem is the MAC issue. Only registered devices can connect to my home and my company Wifi networks. I can temporarily workaround by manually changing MAC address on rooted ROM after every reboot, but it's not an actual fix.
Factory Reset or Restoring to stock v20j can't help.
I did some search and found that some others also had the issue. Some said this method also can fix it: youtube . com /watch?v=8ejnFB5i5o8
But I can't see any nvram folder in my device.
Anyone has any ideas about fixing this, please help
Thanks.
anyone?
I have this with the T-mobile LG G5 H830 that is rooted on 20j (Nougat) with the dm-verity patch applied as well. I have 7 days left to return the phone). I also cannot find the nvram file/folder on my device (I am searching my LG G Pad 8.0 X to see where it is at via Root Explorer).
You mentioned you went back to stock (in TWRP, did you format the system and data directories and wipe the caches before; I ask because if you did not, I was going to do that, then re-stock).
My only other guess is the bootloader unlock would cause it (but then my LG G Pad 8.0 X is bootloader unlocked and doesn't do this). There was a CM7MAC.zip file (which I know is supposed to be for CM rom but I wonder if that fix would work for us).

Been months, I cannot recovery my memory well. But I might not format the system and wipe the caches in TWRP before going back to stock. Still having the issue, and applying workaround after every reboot .
Bootloader unlock is unlikely the cause, cuz I rooted another H90120j (my cousin's) after that. I followed strictly the guide and made no mistake. The phone's still working well now.
Well I think you can give it a try. Looking forward to your good news
My 13th day is Saturday so I am going to get T-mobile to exchange it for a new one (since about 1/2 the posts on this topic says it's a hardware problem with certain chipset mac addresses and I hope that batch of phones that WA gets is different than the batch that HI gets) and reboot that several times before I leave.
I only found out I had this problem since Shaw Cable use MAC address for the 10 devices include in the Shaw Go wifi (wifi public hot spots) and when I put the original address in while still in HI, then got back to Calgary (after a couple of reboots had occurred during my trip) noticing Shaw would not auto-connect like it does on the other devices which are all rooted and sim unlocked (LG G Pad 8.0 X, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, Moto X Play).
If not for Shaw, I would have been none the wiser until I got an employer that only used MAC address and by then, I'd be stuck with the phone.
I notice that this problem allegedly was based on a chipset and/or the Android software itself (there doesn't seem to be a consenus one direction or the other) when I googled this (and subsequently found your post on XDA). I have had several generations of Samsung Galaxy S and Note Series as well as Moto Triump (Sprint), the LG G Pad X, and Moto X Play and have never seen this phenomenon.
Since you say your cousins device is working well and you did the same thing with it as with yours, I suspect it's a hardware fault in our devices. I already returned a V20 to Freedom/WIND since that bootloader is locked and no root possible (will try to get T-mobile to give me the V20 instead of the G5 since I have to go through all this drama; the Freedom V20 was rebooted more than 7 times on purpose and no mac address change occurred).

Every time my phone downloads the update, it fails after less than 5% of installing. This is a screenshot after reboot with the error code I'm getting every time. Phone was on good stable Wi-Fi, plugged in and not in use during entire process... Am I doing something wrong?
Are you rooted?
Here are two things I'd give a try, Factory data reset the phone, see if there was an issue there. If not, then go get the LGUP And download the 24A kdz which can be found in the general area of the forum. One of those I'm sure will work.
