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.

Hi ... I recently got an email from LG that all the h815 international phones stuck with v20D will be updated on the end of the august at the latest. We will get latest security patch and some fixes.
So we wait and see, maybe we will get ux 5.0 or something new.
Good luck with that! Running CM13 here now and waiting for the new nexuses (the current ones are crap in my eyes). Even the CM13 camera (dont install the big gapps package) is really good.
I wouldn't expect UX5 with a small bug fix/security update. If we ever get it, it will be with Android 7.0 if we ever get that too.
Any chance you copy\paste the mail here ? Thx
Is it this one that was mentioned a few weeks back?
First of all, we are very sorry for late security patch
LG G4 has many branches, so security patch schedules has some differences as depending on regions and carriers.
Mostly security updates of LG G4 will be released in July or August
Again, we are apologize at late security patch.
Sincerely,
LG PSRT

Those are some weird English and language for an official response email. Is this translated from another language?
I really hope this is true. Been looking at other phones as I have been so unhappy with the performance of the LG G4 with Marshmallow. Let's hope this finally fix the heat issue.
Guys I have the LG-H990ds V20 model and I always check from time to time for system updates. I'm starting to get frustrated since no updates are showing anymore. It shows that my last update was on January 2 and the software version is V10d-AME-XX. I think that newer versions are being released, but why am I not receiving any of them? Is there some other way to update my V20 to a newer version?
I don't really understand how things work here, if anyone can please explain the situation?

SEA variants of 990ds just got their update couple of weeks ago with march or april security patch. TWN, AME and ESA are stupidly stuck on December and January security patch. mine is V10e-ESA december was the last update. LG was bragging about this phone to be the first non nexus device to launch with Nougat (yeah right) but its the most unupdated phone with Nougat installed. Most OEMs are providing proper updates to their device but LG, nahhh. their too busy with their G6 now

This is complete non-sense sadly... They should seriously give some space for the v20. I'm really liking it more and more everyday, but I always discover new bugs as I continue to use it and that really irritates me(Camera lag in general/Sudden delays overall in home screen, app switching etc.). As much as I love this phone, I'm really hating LG for not giving it the right updates . Come on LG!!
I am in the same boat. I think its the best phone I owned. I came from an oppo who are poor on updates. I did not expect LG to lag with updates as well.
Same issue here guus
I am on AME variant and stuck on December updates
The phone is a beast in all ways
Major draws : battery life and S/W updates

I did not get a answer at all
Yeah my response was from tech support, no response from LG security group yet. They have escalated to another department. I did give them this article.
http://m.androidcentral.com/these-are-phones-receive-regular-security-patches-according-google
you guys can check updates here. ESA version should be rollingout today
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/#imei
Well I plugged it in to the "LG Bridge" looks there is an update is good news. The bad news is I get the error "The update cannot be downloaded because there was a problem with the server". Cancel and try again . Try again on two different computers both with the same issue.
update is currenty not available for OTA. LG server is down. ESA variant here
Thanks. I will try again tomorrow.
Wonder if the H990N will get updated soon too. Granted, mine has the February security update.
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk
I wonder with Android why they cant just push out security updates as they come out across all builds like Windows. Is there a lot of testing needed?
update is now available v10g
Fyi the LG server is down still. Tried a different network. Dyepnoodle could you install it?
H990ds (AME) OTA still not available, I'll try on LG bridge.
Update available on LG bridge.
Could not install it because LG bridge tells me that "The update cannot be downloaded because there was a problem with the server."...
So as the title suggests. I bought my phone 2 months ago, and since I got it it hasn't updated once. Nothing, not so much as a security patch or anything.
I've tried googling this but nothing comes up. I obviously check via system update - and it says it's up to date.
My build number ends 137-33.
Android security patch 1st January 2017.
It's not rooted. And all stock.
Is this normal?
My phone came with same build and you're not alone. Twiddling thumbs may help with the long wait, or root and try some custom ROMs. I've got the June 5th security patch running CyberOS which is based on Android 7.1.2 and other custom ROMs are similar. There's a debloated stock ROM based on India's G5+ update (they got one already) with the March patch at least. That said, there are rumbles ours is finally coming soon if you do want to remain stock and get the OTA.
What does it say under Settings > About Phone> Software Channel?
There hasnt been an update for the UK Moto G5 Plus yet.

I asked a similar question in a separate thread and maybe you know, is the update 137-35-5 that is available as a zip able to be flashed over this same build, 137-33 I have now? I unlocked my bootloader but stopped short of flashing twrp or rooting. I think the 35-5 update only has the May security patch only but someone uploaded the full firmware. Any opinions are welcome.

Yeah, I cannot believe that some regions were being updated months ago to March and subsequently May security patches and the UK is still yet to receive any updates at all. Why do manufacturers make their lives so much more difficult by having such variances by region? A single software version for all regions seems to work just fine for Google and their Nexus/Pixel lines.

I fully agree with you mate and i think it is only going to get worse with Lenovo pumping out more and more models.
I am in same boat my friend
Is there any chance of G5 plus getting 7.1.1 update or at least security patch update? All other moto devices launched this year are running 7.1.1 and G5 plus still on 7.0 with no signs of update.

As per Motorola regarding security update only US version got May Update. Not any other regions got any patch updates. Motorola not yet updated their update history page with Moto G5 Plus. so, as I pointed earlier we had to wait till November for any updates!?

Not really interested in unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs. Here's to hoping they give us Oreo at some point.
Update: After replying in this thread I received the May 1st security update, go figure.

As it is not carrier specific I would think LG.

But Lg says the opposite:
"For the unlocked version, software updates will be coming from the current carrier of the device as well. They will be the one who is going to send the updates to you OTA."
My current carrier, not selling G6 phones. Therefore they will not provide updates for Amazon G6+. (specially not in Europe)
The phone's fw. is 10A quite old.
So I'm searching owners of LG G6+ US997U live in USA.
Still no updates from amazon.
Lg g6 updates

Don't thinks so.
I currently own this device and I just received an update today February 27th it was 500 megabytes download and it had the December Android security patch
This update would make me think maybe, just maybe, we will get Oreo update too... Hope so.
I love this device but it certainly would be even better with Oreo. Let's hope so.

If you plug your phone into the computer and use LG Bridge to update error recovery does it download the 20a KDZ?

Been out of town... Will see if I can do it this week.
what is the correct model number for the LG G6+US model
LG G6+ US997U = is this correct?
Am interested in getting back onboard w/ LG after my time with Axon7. But need version for TMo & the quad DAC.
NVM, indeed it is .
Sorry for the noob question, it's probably been asked on here, but have not been able to find a solid answer. I have a US Cellular LG G6, which by now I know bootloader can't be unlocked. But, is there any way to update to Android Oreo? Currently on Android Nougat 7.0. thanks in advance.
