There are lots of roms for g5 but not for se (well at least i could not find any). so yeah i want new os, Will LG G5 SE get any custom roms and/or android oreo update?
hello
I suppose this device is not well endorsed by the community: I had a nexus5x that bootlooped twice and Lg offered me this device. In exchange.

Here is some news about LG's plans for Oreo on the G5 and the G6:
http://www.androidfinest.com/lg-g6-and-g5-android-o/
If this article is correct, unlocked G5s should start seeing Oreo available next month, with carrier models following soon thereafter.

If thats correct some verizon users should see it this month or next lol....
I am not gonna hold my breath....
what do you think?
Will it help if maybe everyone of us will start complaining openly about the lack of the Oreo update?
Maybe a lot of mentions on twitter/fb on their social media will speed up the process
Hi all. Who else concerned about future security patches?? Im pretty much tired of endless android versions. I would rather get security patches. Anyone else got january security patch??? I hope this phone will get it too soon.

Hi,
Some really bad news for anyone that's been unfortunate enough to purchase an A7 EU version.
I have contacted ZTEUK on FB messenger directly to ask about the Nougat update and this is their exact response.
"Hi Mike, Please keep an eye out on our social channels for any information regarding updates. We do not currently have plans to update to Nougat though this may change. Thanks, the ZTE UK team."
Taking into account the amount of EU phones out there this is beyond dreadful in terms of treatment, the question is, where do we go from here? I didn't want to bother rooting the phone, but is there any option left now it's possibly not getting the update at all?
No daydream, no patch fixes, no volume fix, the list goes on!!
How do we pressure ZTE into dealing with this, failing that what other options do we have?
Mike
Haha I doubt it, these customer reps have no idea.
There has been an extensive Nougat test going on as well as confirmations on twitter etc.
G Version will get Nougat.

I hope so, that brings some comfort, really the reps should not give throw away replies like that.
Thanks :good:
Don't worry, it just furthers the idea that global organization of ZTE is totally lacking, especially for their EU customers (far behind their american ones). Nougat was announced first by ZTE Germany back in November (originally planned for end of january) and is currently undergoing beta testing as far as I know. The thing is, ZTE Germany is apparently taking care of the dev for the G version but they officially supports only german customers, even if they kinda tried to create an "european" community. Other european branches (it's the case for ZTE france at least) of ZTE seem to be only PR posting advertisement on facebook/twitter. IMO, your rep just copy pasted the basic stonewalling response to this question and has either no information whatsoever or wanted to answer politely without getting carried away.
(If anyone has more info, feel free to correct me)
G Variant will sure get the Nougat Update soon, ZTE UK should know this too dont know why you got this answer from them. But if you G Variant user, follow ZTE Mobile Deutschland on Facebook
Coming from US nougat. There's still bugs, battery drain, etc. Issues that are in the release. I'd rather be back in MM honestly. A stable and complete release would've been better instead of releasing early due to demand. Just look up the issue with whatsapp. Millions of users and they didn't notice such a glaring bug.
I can say without a doubt in my mind that the Axon 2017G will also get Nougat. They are usually a little behind the US team with releases so I imagine it will probably be sometime in March
I wouldn't be surprised if you could just flash the bootstack and modem from LineageOS thread and flash A2017U system on top. I'm totally satisfied with LineageOS, so I'm not even thinking on doing that now or in the future.
The G Variant needs more time than us because they want to fix all founded bugs and increase the quality. like musicdjm said, it will release end feb. or beginning of march. zte could Release it in the end of January but there were too many bug, because of that they started a beta test phase and postponed the Release date

I have the US ZTE Axon 7 (A2017U) and updated to Nougat. What is the WhatsApp bug again? I haven't noticed anything but you can tell me and I will cry in a corner once I know. :crying:
@op When everything else fails, go to change.org and create a petition. The ASUS Zenfone 2 users did that and they are apparently getting the Nougat update in July.

The Axon7 G Variant will directly get 7.1.1
Hi guys, as reported on the vodafone italian forum this week has been released a new update for G6, now is available trough LGBridge (didn't check trough OTA).
Don't which patch are, or if there are any difference because "Bridge is a Britch" (Sorry), and it'll take a while to download the entire KDZ of 3.04GB.
I'll keep you updated about possible changes, cheers

That's not so important for two major reasons:
- 821 is not vulnerable to Meltdown
- Spectre is a vulnerability that cannot be soft-patched, patches are only to block some applications of Spectre.
Anyway they're still better than December patch xD
in any case g6 no brand ita no update of the patches at the moment, nor through ota or lg bridge,in any case if I have the chance to sell the g6 and I'll take another.
New update V11i here. H870 buy in Orange. Only avalible in lg bridge. No OTA yet.
No branded phone
Same here, Italian G6 no brand just updated to 11i via Bridge...

We've been without updates for several months and received November patch at the end of December, this is why it's surprising to see January patch.

Yeah... But you see that is only ninja smoke... This is did to forget for a while about android 8.0 update... And also my humble opinion is that this security update don't matter. And keep in mind if someone with the right know how wants to find an exploit to access your phones it will be done...
I am sorry for speaking my mind, I usually read without saying anything, but this time I did not understand what was the hole fuzz... A new thread and some of the guys asking the developer about updates with the new patch

It's not ninja smoke, it's what LG should have done since ever like other OEMs, realising updates frequently. No one forgot the late 8.0 update, i am (and probably all) angry with LG for late Major updates without any right excuse (like introducing treble, for example).
Also security patch are important when there are RELEASED vulnerability that allows anyone with the right abilities to steal your data, your money or whatever else, like the Krack vulnerability, which is KNOWN since november and patched in december and we received the update now.
I see much negativity coming from you, you're right, if an hacker wants your data will probably get those anyway, but the probability is low like many other scenarios.
To sum up:
- I'm happy to have received a new update
- I'm happy that my device is more secure
- I'm UNhappy that LG won't update the G6 soon to Oreo.
That's all for me =)

My opinion is that most of us, here we've got our phones rooted and we also have a bunch of apps that can be manipulateed to gain access in our phones and in my opinion, for me is not so much of LG work but for the work of developers here that patch the systems and kernels and apps that we use daily. My current negativity through all the talk here, about this patch is regarding the pressure on developers to upgrade their work. And I know that none ask for the exact date of upgrade, but some people pointed out the release of the patch and wanted a new upgrade... So this seems to me a bit rude... I don't want to fight with anyone... But I needed to express my thoughts. Have a good one guys and enjoy a great device

Devs here on XDA do this because they like doing it, that's why it's not correct to press them for updates. But OEMs devs are different, they're paid for what they're doing like my boss pay me for the work i do, and he expect me to do my best. Here it's LG fault (concerning the both lack of updates between July and December and Oreo) because other OEMs have already updated their flagship devices, and some also their medium range devices.
I never press devs of apps, mods, kernel or ROMs because they make me a favor. I press OEMs' devs because they're paid for what they're doing, and because all other OEM's devs are doing a better job.
Hope i've been more clear, there is no reason to fight, we're discussing our own ideas, i'm not angry with you only because you expressed your thoughts

I am sick of waiting for LG to update my V20 to Oreo... I doubt it will ever happen at this point. My main interest in Oreo was the addition of LDAC built in.. Is there anyway or anybody that can port/mod just that from a build of Oreo? I would actually pay for that if it worked.

Lg isn't very good with updates. Latest security update we have is from April.
If you want regular software updates,lg isn't the Phone for you.
But custom ROMs are great here.

Well, enterprise recommendation means updates atleast every 90 days...
the European H930 (single sim) has that, its usually every 2 months (even though some updates, like the january one were quite delayed, dont know why)
dont know about official OTAs for the H930DS though

There are a lot of good roms for the Phone. But you should worry about which ROMs to flash after you actually buy the phone.

Yes, it's still on the list. As @SGCMarkus points out, that means updates at least every 3 months -- not every month. Sometimes it's been faster than 90 days, but that's the requirement, as well as one major Android letter update. Pie will be that one.
The only reason V30 got on the list with Nougat was because of the "imminent" update to Oreo. Only Oreo phones could have have Enterprise Recommended status. Once we got on Oreo, then the updates have come every 2 or 3 months -- as that was when the Enterprise Recommended requirements kicked in.
Thanks everybody, u have been most helpful !

Yes, the Pie Upgrade debacle threw off the updates schedule.
LG expected to have Pie rolled out before end of June.

Can't say for sure really.I think 12 will be the last personally.
It's possible LG will release an update for the V50 and V60 series, but it seems as though the V50 series is at the end of its life at Android 11 or possibly Android 12 - LG did promise three years of updates for the flagship devices, I believe. Keep in mind that the V40 series only got Android versions Nine and Ten, starting with Android Oreo (version Eight)
