Why is this K8 2017 running stock? - LG K8 Questions & Answers

So yeah. This was a strange sight. K8, or at least what the store claims to be a K8, running stock Marshmallow (I checked, version V10a build MRA58K). Bezels also seem unusually fat comparedto the prev gen K8.

Very interesting find! It's probably some pre-production unit, with some early beta software, which somehow ended up as a demo unit in that store. India, I presume? It's funny store claims it's 2017 version with Nougat well at least icons are rounded squares like the ones in latest LG UX. MRA58K is definitely the release of MM that we currently have on our 2016 version. You know, I wish we could have an official ROM close to stock, like this one

Not India, Indonesia hahaha. Yeah, store spec sheets are almost never right, except those from Samsung since Samsung makes them and hands them out, while LG and everyone else just leaves the store to do it themselves.

Nice observation. I already saw this picture on G+ but i did't believe it,altough i didn't find any proof its fake nor that its real. But this is the proof.
Fake as hell Motorola haven't finished yet to release 5.0.2 and now it's magically working to 5.1? Mmmh sure sure! So, soak test and release in 2016?

Motorola also didn't finished releasing the 4.4.3 when they started releasing 4.4.4. The slow rollout is due the bugs in 5.0.2 it's in their interest to not release the buggy one to all of the devices!

Yes, but they are releasing, and seems that there aren't bugs (remember, Perú had from "selected users can" into "all can download" into same day..
After the second week it gets laggy and many apps stop work as they used to (due to bugs in the cache usage).

Also, since the days of Android 4.2, the first revisions of each Android version released by Google doesn't have the third digit, i.e. it should be "5.1" instead of "5.1.0".
The kernel date thing didn't alert me, since the source code could've been made available to the manufacturers way ahead of mass knowledge, but this totally made me feel awkward.

Rogers: 6.0.1 Update July 21st

Just a heads up for those wondering.
http://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/OSUpgrades/thread-id/1
So this will be flashable on H815P?
I just hope it solves some overheating problems the phone has
Guys i dont want to disappoint you but i think it will be an 6.0 version and not 6.0.1 because none of the g4 variants is running on 6.0.1 and i think not even korean models. It will be sth like v20h vor uk only some bug fixes and newer security patch... But anyways we'll see it.

Then Rogers needs to fix their table. It says 6.0.1 And anyways what is the problem and LG can't update to 6.0.1 it's a minor update after all. I think they will let their phones die update wise. I don't see them putting any effort to update them. I could accept the missing 6.0.1 only in the case they got plans to skip it and go directly to 7.0 but yeah I'm dreaming considering they are unwilling to give us even the security patches.
I can remember that they said a few months ago as the g5 was released that 6.0.1 is exclusivly and only for the g5 and upcoming phones if they stay true to their politics then u will get 6.0 if not then,i am,wondering,why the other,unlocked variants are still on 6.0
Anyways we have to wait it out and proove me if i am mistaken somewhere

hahahahha i said it before no 6.0.1 for us lets start to blame lg hahahaha
how is speed and battery life m8 ?
Yeah I'm pretty annoyed its not 6.0.1 as I've been waiting for the bluetooth bugs that are fixed in 6.0.1.
On the plus side the security patch finally closed up the Stagefright vulnerabilities
LoL LG this is hilarious.

I used LG Bridge to download it.

Got an official security update after 1.5 years.

This morning, I turned it on and found that there was a security update. I thought Samsung had completely abandoned it and was going to disable automatic update check.
Perhaps I hoped too much. I was hoping that the version would go up from 5.0.2 to 5.1, but the version remained the same. The only changes I have found are
1. Security Patch Level is now 2016-11-01
2. System Panel does not show process names any more.
Well, at least they have not completely abandoned it yet.... or have they?
No update here, but if true, that's quite a positive surprise!

I love my pro but I am very skeptical about an update of any sort at this date

Just got this update too. 243.38 MB. The update includes 'security enhancements' and 'device stability improvements'
March 19th OTA update
I just got an OTA update on March 19th, 2017. Bestill my heart...
Software updated P905VVRSBPL1
Android 5.1.1
^Me too. 63,55 MB! Seems to be a security patch.
My two tablets just received about 60MB updates. Installing now
Edit: both security updates with weird names
Hello how you get this update on my lte p905,i'm still on 5.02
The security update doesn't change the Android version. Try Smart Switch or the sammobile website!

V20e-SEA-XX| New nougat update for the h860 (Singapore)

You can download the update now through LG Bridge, if you prefer the kdz file you can download it from here
The update was released on the 28/4/17
Android Security Patch level is April 1, 2017
Kernel 3.18.31
Size: 2.64gb
Now you would think that an update that would be as heavy as 2.64GB would be the glorious long awaited nougat 7.1.2, but think again :^)

Nope haha this is for the Singapore device! not the taiwan!
it is somewhat theoretically POSSIBLE to still be able to flash it on your Taiwan, but I wouldnt do that if I were you, you'd might just brick your phone!
TBH the signapore firmwares SUCK and have an incredible battery drain, I think you better off flashing the Honk Kong one on your phone, just make sure to see if someone were able to successfully flash it on their Taiwan device!

Oreo update!

Oreo is being pushed out in the UK, to unlocked phones (BTU, im pretty sure) the past day, is it possible for us to flash one of their firmwares on our phones? Or we have to wait for the update to roll out here?

The model that is being updated is the sm-g935f. It runs on a Exynos processor, but your sm-g935v runs on a snapdragon processor. Unfortunately, we have to wait.

My G935V got the update notification yesterday. You may want to try a force update to see if it will send you the oreo update.
NM it was just that 7.0 patch sorry if i got people excited, the google results were saying oreo.
