Ok so here is the deal:
I got a LG G2 16GB on contract with Vodafone.de.The latest firmware OTA i could update on was 802c,but the problem is that i hate the carrier logo on power on and power off and a lot of bloatware that i cant unistall neither prevent from loading and running in the backround(joyn etc..).
Is there a way to flash this firmware 57 6DE/GERMANY_OPEN_16G found from this site http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=36?
Is this firmware untouched stock or is there an official lg source to get the latest international firmware?
My biggest concern is actually not voiding the warranty and i really dont know how to do this or if it requires root or not.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

ok say i dont give a **** about the warranty,am i going to be able to download ota updates normally after flashing the international firmware?
no one willing to help on the matter?
Just flash the OPEN DE firmware following the instructions on the link. It doesn't require rooting and it is easier than you suspect when you see the instructions for the first time. After you flash V10E it appears (not confirmed 100%) that you should be able to update only OTA. If you update via PC Suite it will revert back to the original firmware for your specific product code (Vodafone DE in your case). Apparently, the product code cannot be changed and your device will always be identified as Vodafone DE. If the OTA updates work...that's fine! If they don't, you will always have to flash the updates manually.

Nice, I guess Poland has the Eu open model H815, so I think people from all over the world will get this update. (If they have H815.)
The same info in english:
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-announces-its-first-android-60-marshmallow-update
I'm form Poland so just have to wait to next week and yes in Poland we have the Eu open model of H815 so update will be for all......
Now we wait for xposed for 6.0
Hello all,
I have lg H815 and I am from Poland.
Do you know if i will lose my root after updating to 6.0?
Yes you will lose your root upgrading to 6.0
You also may have a tough time if you try updating via OTA
i'm curious to know why Poland seems to be the preferred country in Europe for rolling out big updates first, Samsung does the same
anyways, i suspected LG would start rolling out Marshmallow by October 18th cuz they usually release updates by then every month
I hope there are no wakelock in this buil.
Only 2h of SOT is terrible for me.
@mikedemoda
well, in Poland we have malcontents who think that they are doing from us beta testers
Same for Samsung devices, cause software is developed in Poland

I hope someone will dump system.img ASAP I'm rooted with Xposed, so no OTA for me. Also let's hope LG kept at least a bit more stock 6.0 looks and feel (I know it won't happen, but still).
i hope we get a quick solution regarding root
i cant live without it...

H815 is the international model, there are other varients of the H815 which are local ones i think, But H815 should be first to get it
great news but they could be even better:
1) give us unlocked bootloader (custom ROMs are way more important than official updates)
2) if no unlocked bootloader, then at least make the official UI more stock and with less bloatware (I don't need LG health or backup apps, if I ever do, I will make sure to download them from the play store..)
if 6.0 has the same LG UI as the current 5.1 version I will puke - its awful looking with ****ty icons and crammed settings/notifications

Exactly how I feel, G4 is my first LG and thank god (and every dev involved) for Xposed G4 Tweaksbox! If there would be a fine running CM ROM, it would be running on my G4

Actually, most of your custom ROMs would really suck without official updates and your custom ROM's dev would have a very, very hard time developing (Not to mention that half of the custom ROMs wouldn't even exist...). This is not a Nexus with everything available for the devs to work with. It's a device driven by a bunch of proprietary drivers updated with official firmware updates by the OEM (I'm so curious to see how the G4's camera will perform on AOSP/A or CM...). Reverse engineering these drivers, I can only imagine how time consuming and frustrating it must be. Now imagine you don't even have updated proprietary drivers to even begin with.
This is why official updates are at least as important as your custom ROM, if not more.
this year no UI photo leak?
Last year many G3 leak and offical promo before rolled out...
As above, my S7 Edge is rooted and therefore OTA updates are blocked.
Is there somewhere I can find the latest firmware updates and possibly use TWRP to flash them?
My camera photos are distorted to hell and apparently there's an update with a fix for this.
Thanks.

LG is weird, and the way they are rolling out updates must be improved. They are losing customers because of that (I am one of the customers they lost)
Therefore i read , the suffix after 20 , for example "a " , " g" , etc. , refers to the amount of ROMs released in that country. The first Marshmallow Brazil is this, therefore has the suffix "a". However, "a" Brazil is more updated than " g" of turkey, for example.
flashed this morning and tested till afternoon, so far so good. performance smooth than turkey 20G and charging faster. recommend to update with this version

Indeed. I am also from Brazil and MM is NOT yet available here for the G4 dual-sim H818P. Right now using Russian v20c, but I would rather prefer an official LG ROM.
G4 was my first LG smartphone after Apple (3GS and 4S), Samsung (S3) and Motorola (Moto X 2013 and Moto X 2014), and the G4 it is very likely to be the last from this stupid brand. Even Samsung (well known for taking ages to release Android updates) already released MM for all their high-end devices here in Brazil.
Except the G4 camera, which in fact is impressive, all the rest leaves a lot to be desired
Also, LG will release a crippled G5 here.
For sure LG also lost me as a customer.

I'm in Europe, where you are from? Dos you had to add apns manually?

I tested on Lg-H815 Int Europe, and so far so good.
I rooted ( I have bootloader unlocked ) and it looks like is ok, for now
i flashed with lgup this new brazilian firmware, but my g4 became laggy and the 3g/4g icon remains in the status bar after disabling data connection , so i returned to 20g turkey
From UK, do not need add APNS manually. just flash and use

I haven't get the chance to flash this version....besides of security patch any relevant change?
Enviado do meu LG-H815 através de Tapatalk
I've just installed it (H815 TWN). I observe less battery drain while on 4G/LTE. Will continue testing...
I was using v20g German before this, and v20f Turkey before v20g.
v20f drain less battery than v20g. I hope this "recent" v20a Brazil performs better...
So far, so good
I've installed (+hard reset) this v20a Brazil. I experienced same baterry life like v20f Turkey... v20g drains more.
I expect better battery life in future charge cycles, I'll comment on that this days.
For me the data signal, 4g, 3g,...don't disapear after I turn it off. Anyone with same issue? Dirt flash over 20e

Hey guys. I live in Brazil and have one H870, but it was from a network operator and the updates are locked by the IMEI by this operator. So, I flashed the v20b on it, and it works, but it is unable to find updates by OTA. There is any workaround to bypass this block?
Not sure if I understand correctly. But if I u flashed v20b your phone won't find any additional OTAs because 20b is the most recent firmware.

Yeah, I don't think that happens with someone else outside Brazil. Here, when you get a H870 from a network operator, they put their own customized ROM, that is really slow and consumes a lot of battery. But when you try to flash other ROMs, you don't get any OTA update. Everyone who asked about it got the same answer, they locked the update with the IMEI, and the only way to get OTA update is using the stock operator ROM.

V20b for H870 is the last update for this variant, so you wont find any OTA right now and maybe never more this year.
We hope Android 9 came to this phone but most probably later next year so.
Even tho you cant find OTA you can connect to LG Bridge to check that, but as someone and i already told, v20b is the last one until now.
