US997 update to 17a - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

I received an OTA update today with the Jan security patch. Not sure if there were any other changes, but it was only about 700mb.

US997U is still on 10a.

Since installing 17a my battery had gotten considerably worse. Any one else experiencing this?

I still haven't got the 17a update

First G2 software update

I just got a system update notice on my LG G2. When I went to the support page, it is "unavailable".

Has anyone applied this update?

If you took the update can you try the one click root in dev. Interested in seeing if it still works.

yea, we won't really know if this is a root exploit patch until someone takes the hit.
Its been confirmed by multiple people that the update does not address root or loki.

Has anyone figured out what this update does?

Yes...it doesn't patch root. If you are rooted and do not have a custom recovery installed. You can accept the update and it does nothing. If you have TWRP installed, you need to flash the stock recovery, accept the update and then flash back to TWRP after.

No OTA-Updates!

I bought my phone on dec 4th and until that time I didn't receive any updates for my phone.
I have the European PLK-L01432B121 Firmware but the only option for me is to update my phone manually which is kinda annoying.
Does anyone else experience this problem?
I didn't find anything related to my problem on xda or somewhere else...
Sebster
Yes. Your not the only one. I'm in the UK and still on B121 and not received any ota updates. I'm hoping the MM ota will be rolling straight out to us this month.

Yes - unless we've done manual updates or beta tests, most of the us are probably still on B121.
Not quite sure why you think this a problem though.

A lot of people already got their Updates to B140 and B170 so I was wondering why I don't receive them via OTA...
It's a problem because I think it is very annoying to do a manual update every time a new update rolls out. When Honor implement a OTA feature, than it should work.

1. Backup with HiSuit all your stuff.
2. Factory reset phone.
3. DonĀ“t setup any apps, just anything the setup wizard asks, including wifi and google account.
4. After completing setup, check for update.
5. After each update, repeat again from line 2.
6. At B730, restore HiSuit backup except for apps already included in the ROM.

LG US997 just updated to 15a

LG US997 just updated.
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us997-firmwares/#more-4590
File name: US99715a_05_0908.kdz
Model: LGUS997
Operating system: Android 7.x Nougat
Whats new?
Android version 7.0
Security patch level Sept 1, 2017
Build # NRD90U
Seems like I finally have Face Unlock and Mini View options (they didn't show up for me in 13a or 14a). Looks pretty much the same otherwise.
I would really like to see Do Not Disturb Until Next Alarm get put back in.
I wonder why I haven't gotten this update. US997 still stock 14a. Tried to manually check for updates but it says I'm on the current version.

Well, I notice the site offering that download is not official LG. So maybe someone's screwing with us.

No, it's legit. I just updated to 15a by using LG Bridge. It took about an hour to download and update. I didn't lose any data, but also backed up first just in case.

Good to know. Currently I can't apply .kdz files directly due to not having a Windows computer at hand, so I'll have to try it later when I have a Windows box handy or wait for some kind soul to create a flashable zip. But it's good to hear you've applied it successfully. Is it worth the effort?

Not sure. The only difference I noticed was the mini view option, which I doubt I'll use, and Sep security patch. I'm hoping this is also a prep for Oreo.
I received the OTA for 15a... Will edit when I get a chance to download and install.

Installed last night.
Very nice... Was hoping for a bump up in Android version, but I didn't really expect it.
How consistent has LG been with the US models of this phone?
so i couldn't find anything posted already, if this is the wrong place for this feel free to let me have it.
ok so i flashed this from twrp everything seems to be running ok, EXCEPT, ALL my google apps (maps, gmail, chrome and something i'm forgetting) keep shutting down. i'm happy to just uninstall using TB but it seems like this is systemic of something wrong.
any help would be appreciated.

Actually Verizon looks to be the first to be trying to push the update
Verizon pulled the change log, it was just the April update. I wonder why they would bother to push the April update if the Oreo update was close, that tells me Verizon is going to screw the S7's on Red.

I'm thinking their still deciding on updating the bootloader for carrier specific ,like what sprint is doing, as the betas are still on 4 while sprint is on 5 for android n ,so customers can't unlock with out having to go through the company

I dont have a link but have been running for a few days. after disabling 'Device Health' is has been running great. Good battery life, far better than I was getting on BRA1.
AT&T just pushed the March security update, I am still wondering why bother with it if Oreo is close..

Posts on Reddit say the one being released in Europe is ERD5. I would hope the US market would be the same. I'm holding off flashing CRD6.
