Coming from a G3 it was pretty common for LG to release their monthly security updates to specific regions only.
When using OTA you would only get an update every so often. By using bumped imgs and TWRP I was able to install the monthly patches.
This doesn't seem to be the case for the H870...
At least I can't find a thread with a recent security patch for my phone.
Am I missing out on some toppic or is the H870 still on Juli patch?
No main update no monthly patch frakking shame. ,,,
Sony zx get oreo yesterday..Many new function and we get big notghing..

Hello,
I own a SM-N910W8 which unfortunately hasn't received any security updates since May. What are my options on getting a firmware which has the latest October security patch?
Can I flash the latest SM-N910T stock firmware?
Are there any custom roms which will have the latest security patch?
Thanks,
Kilree
If i'm not mistaken, Security patch's should update on their own.... When the manufacturer releases them. Google updates monthly, sometimes twice monthly. Samsung, I don't think they care about it tbh. I have June 1st on my note 4 running stock 6.0.1.. I'm about to backdate, then root and Custom Rom. Then from now on i'm buying Direct from Developer.
After doing a little research. Oct Patch is being pushed now by Samsung. Even Verizon has it... They are usually the last to get any updates pushed to the public. So check with them, check your OTA. You should be able to update with it. (it's a big one, bug fixes and other stuff for the Note 4 as well. )
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.

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.

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
I was wondering how many and what updates everyone else have received and when?
I'm currently on the April 2017 security update and I received that in early June I believe.
I'm hoping Huawei can at least be excused by the fact they're working on an Oreo update instead of doing security updates and bug fixes (highly doubtful though). Mine is a Nordic unlocked model by the way.
So are anyone else receiving security updates?
Not here, in Spain. The thing is, I don't see any security patch coming till next EMUI version arrives, hopefully before the end of the year.
Not sure if this helps, but I found some way opening another security gap
As far as I figured out, you need 3 files for the update to work:
update.zip
update_full.zip (or update_full_WAS-XXX_hw_eu.zip)
update_data_full_public.zip
I am sure, FirmwareFinder or any other tool might come in handy doing so. The next thing you'd need would be TWRP which is available as some beta build somewhere on this forum. Then you'd have to unlock the bootloader and root your device to get TWRP on it. I'd recommend doing some research on this as you might have to get some code for "fastboot oem unlock"...
Flash the files listed above the way they're listed.
Can anyone tell me what the most current version in for my US Factory unlocked US996 is? Thanks for your help
Officially just 10n which iirc has the November 2017 security patch. Unofficially it can also use the us Cellular us996 firmware (through flashable zip,, or lgup with kdz) which is on the February 2018 security patch. Or if you want to absolutely abandon stock and get further into rooting and roms based you could run LineageOS which is on the March security patch but the second screen doesn't work and neither does HiFi mode.

Thanks Phoenix, I flashed 10N, build # NRD90M with Nov 6th security patch some months ago right after getting the phone. This must be US Cellular firmware and I didn't know it of course. Not carrying the phone around these days but I do still like it and use it as my music player. When (if) Oreo is ever released I'll start using it more again. I have hope... for LG to not upgrade a flagship device at least once is unimaginable (I think, lol). Thanks again
