LG and T-Mobile tell me that since I have the unlocked (Titan) version of the phone it will not get OS updates included Nougat. Please tell me this isn't the case?
Most of the unlocked phones will get no OTA updates! And warranty are also ended too in this case.
LG is one of them!

Since the phone will come this Friday, and it's based on G4, is there any brave user to try the latest T-Mobile version G4 root on it?

You can convert AT&T H931 to Canada H933 -- using LGUP -- if that is what you want. See the Frankenstein thread.

H830 released today
H860, waitting Oreo like the Jesus comming.
downloading oreo on H830 T-mobile
not sure what to expect, but I... 1) hope it lives up to expectations, doesn't break my phone and 2) gives me a path to downgrade and flash custom rom if it sucks.
What's up with the h860 update.. Been sick and tired of waiting
Still waiting for H850
Any news for the rs988?
So I have a quick question, I currently don't use a Verizon sim on my G5 but it's the Verizon variant, will I still get the Oreo update ?

I don't use the Verizon variant, rather, a normal LG G5 SE. When I attempt to fetch a software update via LG Bridge, it simply says something along the lines of 'LG Bridge is busy, reconnect'.
I've checked for an update using my phone and there's nothing. What should I do?
Hello everyone. The Android Oreo update for LG G5 H860 is being rolled out.

Heya. From what country are you on?
I'm using H860 and still sitting here waiting for the update to come.
I have a Sprint G5 (LS992) on which I was hoping to install LineageOS, however, looking at their website, I only see the H850 listed as supported. Does this mean I'm out of luck?
What if you try the frankestein concept that can be done to convert LS992 to LG H873?
You could try flashing canadian unlocked LG G5 H860 firmware into it. Then once you're Canadian flashing LG H850 and get LineageOS.
I have a LS992 i got from eBay for a buddy, but as it's a birthday present i would like not to risk bricking it.
Let us know if you ever got something done into your LS992.

This is my only phone at the moment, so I can't afford to risk something quite as roundabout.
My phone LG V30 H931 black AT&T model
i bought in dubai as 2nd hand phone and now
im trying to update OTA it says " Your device is already updated " . i have checked in AT&T software official site and the device has available update for July 2019 security patch. My phone security patch is still last July 2018 since i purchased it.
I also tried LG bridge computer update but it shows " LG bridge cannot detect your device O.S. " does it mean im stuck in 8.0 Oreo ? weird, i have a korean version LG V40 and connecting to Lg bridge has no problem it detects the current OS of my V40 LGU + model.
So i realized it maybe because my phone is AT&T model , USA based phone and im not using at&t sim nor network since im in Dubai now
Now question ,is there any other solution to update into android Pie 9.0? or should i just. sell my phone and better buy another V30 or V35 korean version which has no problem in updating O.S. rather than USA based phones which are restricted . thanks

But h931 don't have pie yet right?
yes ,but im curious why LG bridge cannot detect the current O.S. of my lg v30? im just worried that my phone might not receive android update after long time of waiting.
Last question sir, if the AT&T phone is unlocked already like my LG V30 case, i can insert dubai sim now and it is working to other sim as well, does it mean that i can update as well the software android in any country i go? because this is AT&T US based phone ,does it really require AT&T sim ? or no need since the phone is already unlocked? thanks

Months ago, I wrote a Guide for AT&T H931 and Sprint LS998 which can't update, if you are not AT&T or Sprint customer. It tell HOW to update them.
It's a sticky:

Got tired of answering the same questions over and over so I made it into a sticky. Please read it.

No, doesn't have Pie yet, but soon will. They will get Pie. But this question is not really about Pie, this is about updating H931 at all. There's only one way to do that, if you are not an AT&T customer. I tell how in the Sticky.
I've answered this question two or three dozen times and people just keep creating new threads to ask again. Thought sure the Sticky would help and maybe it has.

Device being carrier unlocked (by some code) has nothing to do with getting carrier-approved updates only allowed for that carrier's customers.
AT&T and Sprint don't want you using their devices on other networks, and if you do, they punish you. They also don't care about AT&T/Sprint customers who may sell their phones on eBay to non-customers.
There is a solution. Read the sticky.

Only AT&T H931 and Sprint LS998 are ostensibly restricted. There's a way around the restriction, explained in the sticky.
Neither carrier release public KDZ for their updates. They will only do FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) for customers who have their SIM cards.
This is why LG Bridge won't work for H931 or LS998, because you can capture the URL to the LG Server and post it publicly. We do this all the time in the OTHER variant KDZ threads, where you can download KDZ straight from LG Servers. AT&T and Sprint won't allow that.

Thanks for all the responses sir, i decided to sell my at&t used phone, manual upgrading software is too much hectic and risky for me as an ordinary user.
So this is a lesson learned from me and i strongly advised to all foreigners like me who wants to buy 2nd hand LG phones ,better buy korean variants or international version, avoid US based carrier brand phones.
Sk telekom, LG U + this korean variants are way better ,no restriction any country u go u can update the O.S.
Using my LG V40 korean variant thanks

* I've already explained it's not all U.S. carrier phones. However, if you research you will know AT&T and Sprint LG phones do not give updates to non-customers, nor do they publicly release KDZ update files. Those two carriers only release FOTA (firmware over the air) to customers.
* Most everyone here in this forum uses or has used LGUP. It's not risky if you just read the directions.
Many people on different LG variants don't get OTA updates (like India H930DS) and even my wife's native US998 -- and it's not because they aren't U.S. carrier customers. So they come here to get updates, and manually install them via Dev Patched LGUP.
For everyone else with AT&T H931 or Sprint LS998, here's the answer:
