checked devtester http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Taiwan
and sure enough there's a new firmware when I checked LG Bridge.
No OTA notification for me yet though
if only we could root
Absolutely no interest in Marshmallow unless we finally get a bootloader unlock for the TWN variant.
Absolutely love my G4, but I have no respect for their decision to simply ignore the wishes of developers/people who want to use their phone how THEY want.
Poor form LG, poor form indeed.
Weirdly it was there Last night on my netbook but it refused to Work as it didn't have enough ram available. Today on Work computer it said no update available! Looks like they pulled it again
And when I tried again just there now again it's gone! Update withdrawn: AGAIN!
is there any KDZ available that we could flash using LGUP?

Same! I absolutely love my G4 but bcoz of this ridiculous decision of theirs I will never buy another one and will steer everyone I know away from them. The way they are carrying on you would think they were worried everyone in the world wants to unlock their bootloaders but it's only enthusiasts and devs, the very people they should be making happy as it's us that spreads word of mouth recommendations. Which is the best form of marketing. I updated to MM bcoz I've totally lost faith in LG and got sick of waiting for either them to have a change of heart or devs to come up with a solution (which LG will probably try and thwart). I'm joining the Nexus army!
i see the update available in mac versions of lg bridge but not the pc version. it goes through the whole download process and then the update fails on two separate macs. pretty frustrating.

Yep, it was available for me last night, but now it says no update available. They pulled it.
I wanted to have a play before I sell my G4.

Man don't even bother flashing marshmallow onto your phone. It's not what you think it is. I did flash using LGUP and what a mistake it was too flash the marshmallow kdz. You only get half the screen on time compared to lollipop. So hold of until they sort the issues out

Thank you for your advice.
It's much more smoother and no bugs that I encounter so far, a few days needed for doze mode to kick in. I highly recommend it, you won't regret.
I do think if they pulled it (or aren't ready to release and someone accidentally pushed it out prematurely) then it's for a reason. If they have it ready then why would they hold it back? I'll let them continue to bug test and i'll get it when ready. Lollipop is still fairly new and without better battery life I don't see the point of marshmallow at this point.

Hello friends the models of Tmobile, Sprint and Verizon have her thread.
First question.
Wben will be avaiable unlock boot loader in the web of LG ?
How root and twrp when is avaiable.....
Come on friends.

Nobody knows -- the good folks on XDA will undoubtedly be the first to crack the problem, but it's not trivial finding a new exploit. Patience is a virtue we all need to practice [emoji3]
No new exploit is needed for H870. Only patience until LG adds the device to the supported unlock devices. The aboot of H870 already contains the commands to unlock it, we only need official unlock.bin form LG.
From there it should be relatively easy to get twrp running.
Edit: also i think this thread belongs to "LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion"
Got one LG-H870 from Amazon (germany) any others European users?

Actually it's probably the only model that with certainly obtai root in the near future thanks to the official bootloader unlock program, you have just to wait that lg adds the device to their list

True... Posted my comment here and then I learned EU model was the one with most chances... Thought I read a few days ago was the other way around but, you know, been quite new to the forum and to rooting phones and all I rellay gotta still get the hang of things.
Thanks again!

You probably won't receive it either.
Go to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903
From the given link download the following firmware to update:
H990ds10e_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_0314.kdz
Follow the instructions in the OP to update with the above firmware you downloaded. It's easy, but be aware the .kdz file is something like 2.8GB.
You will then have the latest security patch for your V20 variant, 1 March 2017.

This a way to update, but keep in mind that you will NOT get any OS updates anymore. That is because your phone is not original branded anymore.
Correct!
But we haven't been getting updates anyway.
So I'm happy with this, and occasionally checking for future updates and installing when found.

Most regions have recent updates till march/april 2017, except the TWN version. I am afraid that we are part of the very unlucky few..........
Yeah but we still have an incredible piece of kit.
Even though root looks an impossibility I'm still chuffed I swapped my G6 for this V20. Probably the best phone I've owned.

But what are the differences between these software versions (a,b,c....,g)
As far as I know the only benefit I gained was the security patch update.
I've not had any official OTA update from LG.
Also I have no idea what the position is with other variants.

I compared the system files between the C(TWN) and E(SGN) version with FX Explorer. A lot of system files have a update. So it is absolutly more than just security updates.
Okayyyyyy
Can you do a comparison between V10c-TWN and V10e-SEA?

OK, in a nutshell....
Having only read online reviews I liked the V20 more.
Then after picking up my G6 and handling it for about 90 minutes I wasn't so sure....
Until the owner of this V turned up. 5 minutes with this and I knew the G was going.
So, after less than 2 hours with my G I exchanged it for this V20, LG Quick Cover and £150 cash ?
That's my story. And I'm well pleased.
Only one thing would make this my best phone ever.... yep, root. The amount of stuff I've done with my rooted Z2 over the past 3 years has been awesome and great fun, and it's still a brilliant phone.
Maybe one day.....
V10e-TWN-XX arrived yesterday ?
But VOLTE which they mentioned in release notes for V10e-TWN is nowhere that I can find. Perhaps it is not showing since my carrier at this moment doesn't support it.
I'm not sure anyone has the VoLTE. I haven't.
Although it's not a priority for me its still annoying that LG's official description seems to be plain wrong. But sadly not surprising.
the feature is available if your carrier supports voice over lte future.
I personally checked with a Vodafone sim card

I should have been aware of this when i was purchasing hoping they will sometime soon.
Unfortunately only the European G6 H870.

I recently bought an H870DS version (though the title was said to be H870). I should have done more digging as well. That said, I have spotted some other tutorials and videos here and there that range in promises. Some claim to guide someone through a process of rooting models sold in the US under T-Mobile and others claim to be able to do it on the H870DS.
As I am just beginning to make my iPhone transition to Android, I am cautious when venturing out of the Walled Garden -- especially since most Android devices have no Secure Enclave present to realistically protect certain permissions.
What I would like to know is if LG -- or XDA -- has a history of obtaining root on devices in a situation synonymous with the LG G6 H870 and H870DS. How likely is one to eventually be able to root the device and install custom ROMs or help with Android Development on the H870DS?

You go get a Nexus or Pixel device haha
heres hoping the Dual Sim version will get the bootloader unlock soon. I miss my Nexus6P and I got a good deal on the G6... i don't regret it, this slimmer and smaller phone is a bit easier to use.
Please ask LG développer to get unlock by their email available on their website.

I decided to return the H870DS and got a OnePlus 5 128GB instead. I love it. Great upgrade from an iPhone 6 16GB. Seems like they generally do well with Custom ROMs.
Were other LG phones (Korean versions) bootloader-unlockable after some time or is it that LG dont want unlocked phones in their country?

Jeez. Luckly im in WETA Rom 10k update i dont think im planning to restore to factory just to move to 10p. I have the feeling LG will becoming like Samsung and the Knox system. Given the fact that they are already making the LG V30 to be more like the other flagships (no removable battery and all that) or we dont have to go that far, we can already see it on the g6. They are practically doing the same thing that samsung did. From Samsung galaxy s1 to s5 it was removable battery and there were some features that are not present anymore from the s6 to the present s version. Same thing with the Note series. Now if we take a look at LG, from LG G1 to G5 it was removable battery among other features that are not found any more from the g6 to probably the possible g version. Same thing happens with the V series. From V10 to V20 it is removable battery among other features that wont be found anymore on the V30. Rumors are there wont be a second screen on the V30 (and i thought that's one of the things that made the phone different from other flagships). But well... If they are making changes to external and some internal things to make it look like other flagships, why wouldnt they apply somethig like knox too new updates or for the brand new LG V30 about to come? . Lets see when the V30 actually comes out,
got the kdz for 10p update will upload in a bit

I might have the solution for root. But I need someone who can test it out for me.
If you are on "H91810p" and have your bootloader unlocked (if not I can tell you how to do it), let me know so that I can walk you through the steps. It going to be bit involved so not for first timers.

I only need one person for now. I will try it on my phone but I don't have my bootloader unlocked. I could unlock it but it will wipe everything on my phone in the process which I don't want to do right now. I'm 99% sure that this method will work on 10p.
