Oreo update for carrier unlocked phones

Hello Everybody
I was quite happy in LG's security updates and was hoping to receive the Oreo update soon.
As Google itself has promised that most flagship phones including LG would receive the update before end of this year.
But i learnt recently that LG is among the very few phone manufacturers who issues major update first to carrier locked device and update the unlocked devices in its own time.
I have always heard about the other way around with other phone manufacturers.
If that is true, then i would start hating my LG G6.

Oreo?? on lg device monthly security update=SCIFI..

I am still on July security patch and have unlocked DS model. They suck even in providing security patches.

If you want to have fast security updates : LineageOS is your best choice.

You are being too optimistic unless your LG G6 is carrier locked one.

No im with h870 unlocked

Samsung, OnePlus and Nokia are already released beta builds, but LG is maintaining silence so far.
What a joke ?

Does anyone know how was LG dealing with LG g5 updates? How much time did they spend before updating it to latest Android release?? Cheers!

Last year Nougate came, in Europe, in November, so Oreo should be around the corner.

I was looking at the LG G6 unlocked (us997) back when B&H was selling it at a good price. Was considering going with LineageOS but just couldn't get beyond knowing which security patches were really implemented in LineageOS port on this device.
The general issue of security patches on LineageOS was talked about here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6g9imm/the_issue_of_security_in_lineageos/.
For the LG G6 in particular the LineageOS CVE database shows:
https://cve.lineageos.org/android_kernel_lge_msm8996
not a single CVE has been patched. The likely answer is that some number have been patched, but the database hasn't been updated. Even so, unless you can crawl through the code, how can you have any confidence knowing which vulnerabilities have been patch.

Moto G5 Plus Updates

Has this phone received ANY updates? When I run Motorola's update through the Android Settings app, I'm told the phone is up-to-date, but the phone is still running Android 7.0 with a 1/1/17 security patch... is this some kind of joke?

My updates are from September. Not sure what's going on with your updates. You can manually update via fastboot or TWRP if you aren't getting them...

How do I do this?

The UK finally got the May security patch a week or so ago and when i asked Moto UK about updates they were a little terse with their answer.
I have loved my Moto phones since owning a Moto Defy but i have been looking at Nokia handsets and they seem very good for the money and with the promise of timely updates.

There's a thread in here somewhere with all the firmware links for TWRP. Those are all flashable if you have it. If not, there's another thread with fastboot firmware. Just gotta find which you need and get cracking

Hello,
I bought my phone on Ocotber 2017 and i haven't received any updates yet. My latest security patch are from August 2017.
Is this normal?
Thank you

Stock update
Moto xt1686 got an update right now. Well I am waiting for stock Oreo!

Yes, I believe the August 1st security patch, Android 7.0 is the latest update for the US variant. Build number is NPN25. 137-83.

I got mine from Amazon UK and it's on the august patch.
It's dual SIM, that might make a difference?

I have the Amazon Prime exclusive version (U.S. XT1687) with 7.0 (NPN25.137-83), Security Patch 8/1/2017

Yep. I'm on RETUS and that is the latest version.

i am using Indian variant and having 1st November 2017's security update.

Can anyone drop the link to download august build stock rom for xt1686

Hello, thanks for the feedback.
5 months without any security update, that's a lot of time.
Mine is on reteu, NPNS25.137-33-11.
Just talked to motorolla on the chat and they said that don't know when the next security patch will be available. For a phone that has release last year on February, the support/updates should be more active. A little bit disappointed with that.

Received patch in Bulgaria New version NPN25.137-93
Security updates up to 01 November 2017 . Stability improvements

Got 1st January update in india

Motog5 November 01,2017 patch update

Security and stability patch through nov 01,2018 received. Has anyone else tried it? Its 2nd patch after august one i think which had a Bluetooth patch fix.

Is this for moto g5 Amazon exclusive Indian varient ??

Yes I bought it frm Amazon India. Why?? What is the difference?

I saw update notification on Lenovo support page for APAC from December and almost broke my update check button, but it says You have latest version . Still on August update, which I got in October...

I have the Moto G5 UK Amazon variant.
I got the same update and d/l it now.
Hopefully, my phone will start working as expected.
This is the 1st update I got since last ~March.

My g5 on the o2gb channel received the November security update last week too. 1st one since January 17

I have moto g5 which is in amzin software channel but i didn't receive any update .the last security patch level update was my 1 August 2017 .is anyone from same channel received the update or not??

Same here in Poland. It looks like Lenovo is pretty slow in Europe.

My 3gb g5 from Amazon on retgb, updated to 1 Nov 2017. I was shocked it received its first update!
Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk

Seems there are at least 2 variants.
One that got some update in August (Mine didn't)
2nd that got now (Feb) the Nov updates. (Mine - 3GB "exclusive" version by Amazon UK with 2 sims).
I must say - phone seems to work better now.
So - when/where is our Oreo?

Hi
Just recieved the same update for XT1676 RETEU software channel.
Cheers

It was long overdue.. NPP25.137-93 finally here for reteu/ger.. Now it shouldn't take long for January (g5/retbr already got it).

Got it on reteu in Poland.

Got it on reteu (country - Slovakia) today. I can't see some big functional improvements (except camera app update), but phone seems to be generally working faster and it's a little bit more stable also.

I just got this ota update on reteu in UAE

I took an OTA update after my moto G5 had the bootloader unlocked and rooted. Now, it only boots to TWRP menu. The only workaround now is to go to Reboot/Bootloader in TWRP. Once in Bootoader, I can select start to boot normally. What can I do to get the phone to boot normally like before the OTA update.

you need to flash stock included stock recovery to update ota

Did someone already got the January Update?

Only June 1st Security (No Oreo) ?

According to the latest Maintenance Release notes by Motorola.
They only mentioned about June 1st 2018 Security Patch.
No Major update mentioned. :crying:

No need to open the 100th thread about Oreo update. You could have used this one instead:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/official-moto-g5-8-1-oreo-release-notes-t3804632
The release notes regarding Oreo update
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/ms130856
are saying the update is coming with Oreo and with the June security patch for Oreo, not for Nougat. As the soak tests haven't even started it is not expected that Oreo comes to our device before August.

In the release notes of Motorola it says Oreo and June security patch which probably means the security patch for Oreo, not for Nougat.

I am not sure if the soak test even started. So this was expected.
The Oreo will probably come somewhere in the next 2 months.

Gobsmacked, UK has got June update on retgb, normally 3 month's behind reteu.
Motorola must be starting to get their act together, yippee :good:

here in france just got the june security patch , and guess what, now, when im using the cam, i have a very bad sound, et low audio, what happened ??
