The people on HTC Mania forum are reporting a new 20S Firmware being pushed as a OTA on Vodafone Spain´s network
Since the link posted there is Adfly i cant copy it directly, im currently downloading to repost it to another host.
Dont know if its 5.0 or 5.1 (probobly still 5.0) and dont know what changes have been done.
EDIT : By mistake i typed 355 instead of 855, this is for the D855.
Android Version won't change until they change the number! Android 6.0 or 5.1 will be V30. When LG changes the operating system it changes the number too. Until we don't see V30 or V40 don't expect for newer android version, only fixes and patches.

Hi:
My brother have bought an LG G2 , and i am learning about it's modes , software , and other things.
I knew that the official softwares came like KDZ files , and i have downloaded the LG Flash Tool.
But about the softwares i know nothing.
In SONY softwares , every software came with all languages but may some will be hided depend on the software region.
In SAMSUNG you have to download the software that represent your region so you can get your language.
Please help me answer those questions:
1- Can i flash any KDZ on the Phone like all D802 softwares?
2- Does the all softwares include all languages like SONY?
3- How do i know the software build number and the android version? like "D80220C_00" what android version does it stand on? and how to know if softwares like "D80220A_00" and "D80220D_00" is newer or older?
4- I saw a links like those: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=358635050100008
Does those links view the lastest new software of my phone that it's 100% compatible with it? i mean if i exchanged the IMEI with my real phone IMEI.
1. You can flash any KDZ for your g2 D802 model so dont flash other model kdz on your brothers phone, dont break it
2. I believe that it also has all the languages.
3. Build number is 20C and android version you can find in about phone. As far as I know LG higheres the build versions from like v10 to v20 if they update to an higher android version. So v10x is jellybean and v20x is kitkat.
I am not sure how to know the older and or newer ones, I just recommend to update your phone with lg pc suite or with that link from 4.
If you enter your imei then the link should appear with the latest software version for your phone.
5. Like I said before its your brothers phone so take it carefully, read everything good and keep it safe :good:
Btw, there are 32gb and 16gb device kdz. If you flash an 16gb kdz on an 32gb then it will only show 16. Vice versa I dont know what would happen, I think it will not be good or it will even not go.

Thanks!
You helped me so much
the only thing that still didn't understood that the version , because like what you said , 10x and 20x are the version so higher number is the newer software , but what about the x? in my brother phone it's 20C that shown on the link after entering the IMEI , so 20A and 20D are for other models or regions? or older and newer?
And what does SUFFIX number do? is it important?
I dont know exactly or 20 A is newer or D just watch the release date of it. With the x I mean like some version D or A.
I dont know really about the suffix number if it is on that url but I can tell you that you dont need to change your stock to another version since the most versions are like fixing small things, just wait for ota's.
Again the x I mean like this.
There is android 4.4.1 4.4.2 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 and gapps are for 4.4.X so also for the sub versions which mostly contains some bugfixes. But as far as I know on LG stock there arent so many bugs, on the g2 I am not sure since I dont even own that phone.

Thanks again :highfive:
I was confused by seeing a new firnware version at huawei website places 5th of august 2016 that ends with C636B320 and if i google that it looks like it could be android 6.0?
There is no version number written on the website:
http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/products/downloads/detail/ascend-g7-my.htm?id=86353
I tried installing it on my phone but I always get installation failed, maybe because my phone is from a different region..
Anyway would be great if they bring an official android 6 update for our G7!
The firmware you linked to is Lollipop.
Android 6.0 is currently only official in Turkey and China, but we are still waiting for the European version to be released.
Unfortunately, we don't know how long we will need to wait for it, if it is ever released.
Also, you are correct that you are unable to install the update since you are only able to install updates from your own region, or carrier (if your device is branded).
Ok I see, a download link of 6.0 is availible on this site, but will probably not work because of different region..
But I will try it, i'm dowloading it now.
Was it successfull? I am still waiting for this update to be released for european devices.
Hey guys,
just bought a new G4 for my family and got a new software update for the H815 Europe.
Android version: 6.0
Security patch level: 2016-08-01
No custom boot animation, no bloatware.
Unfortunately I didn't capture the official download link, so I will be hosting it until it gets mirrored
https://jogi-server.de/H81520h_00_0829.kdz
Changelog according to LG Bridge:
- Reliability of apps improved
- Usability and functionality of phone improved
Its the same Kdz as in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/kdz-firmware-v20h-switzerland-2016-09-08-t3457824
and this is the direct link to the kdz : http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW686ET75270AOT62D322VN/H81520h_00_0829.kdz ( credit: @Al0n )
You have to cut/copy the link and paste into browser to get it to work.... why? I dont know
Oh no, you're right. I just took a look at the box of the phone and it says SWS, looks like it's a phone from switzerland.
Somehow it is impossible to get a device for your area if you don't get it directly from a service provider. I live in Germany, my first G4 was SEA and the second now SWS. But thanks for your reply!
Looks like the Brazilian 20b with an updated security patch.
I guess quadroot is not fixed in this release. because google previously said they are gonna fix it in the september securtiy update.

so I am all new with this LG updating their devices thing as this is my first LG smartphone, so this may probably sound silly
I read autoprimes thread about 10f stock (thanks for that btw, great starting point for newbies like me!) and had a look at his twitter account where I saw he linked an official LG site about security updates . Going over there and reading up it seems pretty obvious to me that getting all these google patches seemed a very good way to go, yet my H870 refuses to give me any new updates saying it is uptodate with the april version (the 10f autoprime has in his thread it seems). Yet there is this newer thread from westwood24 talking about a 10I version for the H870, yet even LG Bridge installed tells me that my 10f is the most current thing.
So is westwoods version either not really a stock thing because its made by himself into a 10I (from f) or is both my OTA update service and LG bridge blatently lieing to me about a new version?
Or is there a third "truth" I simply dont get because I am a relative android newbie?

Updates are not only related to the model, but also to region and brand. The 10L update with June patch was available for Vodafone branded phone in Europe and few others.
This lead to the question: where is your H870 from?
In any case you can use lgup+uppercut and flash the 10L kdz if you really have a H870 (without any letters at the end)
my current "Software Version" string says V10f-EUR-XX and I bought it from a local retail store, so (to my knowledge) no provider attached.
the model number under hardware info says LG-H870.

Seems like is no yet avalable for your specific model, other users confirmed it Here and Here
You can track daily lg updates looking Here every 6 hours, wait for a H870 Europe Germany or something like that.

mine isnt rooted yet, I stopped after I ordered the unlock bootcode from lg and read about that it stops OTA in generell. But seeing that they are none coming, or coming in a unbelievable slow pace I might as well just get it over with, head home and start flashing
can someone tell me where I can find out about changes to each stock firmware?
my version is 10c and it was already 10d ... but before updating I would like to know where I can see the changes ... is there any official source? because on the LG site I found nothing...
I would appreciate it if anyone could give me the changelog link
LG never gives useful information about the updates. When the update comes in, you just get a laconic "enhancements in performance and security" statement.
Another place where LG sucks
:[ the problem is that i'm not receiving updates via ota anymore :[ ... I have lgh870 with flashed stock 10c... ****...
