OTA for v20 - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Its been so long since i flashed the v20a and i know it needs some bug fixes but lg hasn't released any OTA update yet, has lg abandoned the G5?
I know there is a v20b and v20c but why don't i receive the update OTA ? Is there really any improvement over v20a? But the point is that i want to receive the update normally and don't visit to xda every month to check if there is a new update to download it and flash it via lg up.
Lg updates sucks even with v20a i had to flash it from the lg up , ota never arrived and lg bridge always got me a error.

LG doesn't suck that much.
If you searched, you'd know that you won't obtain OTA updates if you flashed V20A on a phone from a different region (ex: South Africa/UAE,etc).
if you want OTA updates, flash your respective region's Nougat, when the time comes you'll get the OTA.

I have the proper region nugat, the only reason i ask is because I'm to lazy to go back to v10i.
I'll just stay with v20a until lg decides to release an update.
But it's stupid for a v20b/c to exist and not every one to be able to receive it.

gotta live with it
And be happy; Sammy phones get updates even later and less than us.

Guys if any one has H86020a_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_1216.kdz for LGH860 plz send me link

Yes I think LG has abandoned the G5 because G6 is very close before release. V20a mostly will be the last official update the G5 has received and there wont be any more coming.

You didn't say which G5 you've got, but all KDZ files for the H850 can be found here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/
If it's not the H850, click on the "LG G5" link in the LG Series column on the right hand side of the H850 page for more models.
H850
I got the h850 and the newest update is not on this page... the bridge says the newest update is called H85020b and i can't find it for EU or German.. can't update my LG too... and the support from LG doesn't know how to fix my phone... so....

If you've rooted your phone, that's probably why the OTA update failed. To get the OTA update you'll first have to flash one of the stock KDZ files posted for your phone, accept and install the OTA update to get the latest firmware, after which you can TWRP your phone with fastboot and flash SU.

my phone isn't and wasn't rooted.. so idk where the problem is.. i tried the IMEI kdz finder and they don't work as well so i can't find the kdz for my phone... D: maybe it's because i flashed a kdz with flashtool before (my phone is vodafone branded and i didn't know that i baught it from amazon from the original LG... and i got an branded device so i installed an open EU kdz..
@N0!Z3 ExPl0
this could be the reason because you didn’t find 20b on LG firmware sides. 20b seems to be a "vodafone only" update!
as i know, this problem appears because your phone is a vodafone brandet phone!
You have to debrand your phone if you want to use other firmware for it. Ask Google!
please read this too -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/debrand-g5-available-t3362660

When is LG going to release Nougat on H840 (SE) ?

Hello, any notice on when is it going to be Nougat available on the Lg g5 se?
Or it will never come?
Greetings
I checked the LG Bridge and got a 1.59GB update this morning - was super excited it was going to be 7.0 but after it finished, all it was was camera enhancements (and I think Feb 17 security update - all though it wasn't listed) - a big file and it ends up being a let-down. My LG G5 se remains on 6.0.1 I have to say, LG are pretty useless with updates (especially OTA) - My Moto Z and Sony X both got 7.0 weeks/months ago. BTW i'm in the UK

Hello! Im going to give it a try right now just to see if i have it available to download. I bought this device in the Czech Republic.
May I tell you that last week I called via Skype to LG USA and asked for the status of the update and the operator ( in a very tired way or sound) told me that updates for G5/G5se are now availabe, but it doesn't seem to be right by the moment.
And one last thing, please: Could you tell me the software version you have? Mine is V10a-234-30
Greetings
EDIT: As of 03/05/2017 Lg bridge says that this update is to improve camera functionality before updating
same number but v10b. would take whatever LG say with a pinch of salt, think the G5 has been updated but not the se. I've never received an ota from LG, always through LG bridge

Yeah, you're right. I have now updated the device and it says v10b... besides from that I actually consider that the camera app or the camera itself are the same as in the previous version, didn't see any changes at all except from the android security thing.

Yeah, yesterday finally i got a message in lg bridge about software update. Its a huge piece of somekind thing called "patch" it take about 1.94 gb. Cant really get it why there delaying security patches for a long time
Do you guys know what it do improve? did you get the same patch to download?

Its what i said above
yesterday also get this security patch for 6.0x, but it was much smaller - aprox 450MB(patch itself from 22/02/2017, while security patch from 1/02/2017) - 2 weeks to deploy it to end users, and 3 weeks for build/internal tests.
with such speed I don't expect 7.0 in next month or two
After the last patch via lg bridge i guess the battery now is a little better in terms of active screen time.
But we still lose much in standby mode.
After little research i made ..Guys, i guess no european h840 lg5se models exist yet.. they are all for latino american market?? So we can flash any nougat rom on our devices released in South America ?? Im not sure just my thoughts

You can if you want, one kdz file from mexico has the telcel(carrier) logo, besides from that its ok works fine. The other from turkey was for every unlocked phone out there, it doesnt have fm radio and works as good as the other.
Im going to keep waiting till the year ends. If this phone doesnt get updated, i will manually do it with these kdz files

it's was only one issue with American ROM - it was possible to lost warranty in EU with such firmware.
but since Yesterday(2017/03/09) on LG firmware present EU/UK H84010b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0222.kdz firmware - it was mention on begin of this topic, so it's possible to return to original region
it's a bit off-topic, but Google Assistant appear on H840 even on Android 6.0 (but only in English language).

LG h930ds not yet Oreo

Hi guys i did sent email to LG India for Oreo update, they are not sure also. It's longer and longer waiting for Oreo for LG h930ds Indian version.
No Oreo updates on LG bridge also. Why this model stuck on the android version 7.1.2 that was out of the box.
So frustrating LG India H930DS model.
If like this next time i won't buy LG phone from India.

Well if you want to update, search on the other thread, there is one where you can update to Oreo by using the Uppercut and the LGUP software over the pc.
But i believe the update will come soon sometime this month, just checked on the G6 forum and i heard that finally the H870DS version has started to see oreo in APAC region so I'm pretty sure that H930DS will be the next in line as well within days.

You can flash to the India Oreo KDZ and you will be back on the India path.
Simple "upgrade" via LGUP.

Full image KDZ is always superior to partial image OTA.
But yes, you should receive notification of India OTA updates since you will be on official LG firmware for India. However, don't expect any updates for about 3 months. That's all LG has agreed to, at least security updates every 90 days once on Oreo. Oreo has now arrived for India.
For me, I will almost never take OTA, for reasons too lengthy to post here. In the past 4 years, over in the Motorola Quark forum we had to constantly educate people to NOT take OTAs. To instead wait for the full image and flash that. It's almost like an upside down world here in the V30 forum where people are obsessed with wanting OTAs.
I just had to advise someone today in India who took an OTA, which messed up his phone and now he has no full image to flash. Not LG, but a Motorola phone -- but same caution applies. He never unlocked his bootloader so he's out of luck. He can't even flash another region image (Motorola is locked down that way). He has to take phone to Motorola service center which is a great distance away.
My advice is to stick with full image, so you can re-flash if needed.

Disabled many built in apps I don't use - most of Google products, etc.
Always on display is on.
