Is it going to be available for EU version through OTA? My phone is still stuck on v20d-EUR-XX with 2016-01-01 security patch. This is not good LG!

The International model has been stuck on V20D for quite some time now. Seeing that new firmware is released for a lot of countries with updated security and stuff makes me think we'll get an update soon (crossed fingers!).

I'm getting tired of waiting. When I bought LG G4, I was hoping for regular updates for flagship phone. I have updated my phone on 3.3.2016 and there were no updates since then. It is still on v20d! Terrible support! Half of a year with 01-01 security update! Really safe and funny. These regionals updates are not smart and are not good. They should have push now firmware for everyone, not just for selected countries! I'm angry!

Why exactly we still didn't get 6.0.1? Are they planning to skip it and go straight to N?

Someone said we're on 6.0.1 but it's displaying as 6.0 "just like 5.1 was 5.1.1". But I can't confirm on that

Well considering how they ignored M they must release N even thought official support ends in August.
If they don't release N they must release latest available M 6.0.1 revision...
They are doing something but this is like one time a year and not a major updates, for flagship I think this is a joke if you compare it to how iPhones get updates...
P.S. I just checked that iPhone 5s which is even older than G4 have received latest iOS update long time ago really makes me wonder what is happening with android and OEMs...

You can't compare LG with Apple. You can compare Nexus phones with iPhones though. And you can see older phones getting new updates as well.
As for Android N, it'll be released officially this Fall, so OEMs have a lot of time to prepare for it. But LG has really had bad support all over the place.

Do you think there would be a problem if I updated my international device with this kdz?

OK, I'm going to download LGUp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
In my understanding this is just like ODIN for Samsung and will not void warranty as long as it is an official kdz, right?

Right

Battery life any good with this one? I'm currently on v20f, is it worth changing to this.

I did update with LG UP and with my LG G4 H815 - EU works great. I moved from v20d-EUR-XX and no problems at all.

Yup, worked fine for me. Lets see how it goes

It shouldn't, this is just for UK operator Hutchinson, everything else should match. I think that G from Turkey is the same as F from Baltics and H for UK

Mhh, i think that i will wait June Security Patch to update (has G5 been updated to june patch?)

I keep getting"unfortunately app updates have stopped" popping up all the time.. Other than that seems good.

Got the OTA update to Nougat last night!

Came here to see what everyone else thinks of the update, but no one else seems to be talking about it. Did anyone else get updated?
For reference, I'm using a FRD-L04 on AT&T in the USA. I'm currently on build FRD-L04C567B360. I'm not rooted or anything, just got the phone a month ago.
I didn't do anything to get the update, (not even manually running the updater) just got a notification that the software update was available.
It's been fantastic so far. I felt that EMUI 4 was slick and quick but this feels even faster and smoother. Very happy so far but it's only been a few hours. (went to bed shortly after upgrading)

Can you post a screenshot on the about info? Just to make sure some rumors are true that some people will get the update earlier for the L04 model.

Screenshot added to OG post.

Interesting, they must have just started rolling it out despite the February release rumors.

Hmm.. I haven't received it yet.Were you rooted? Were you on the B162 firmware before?

OP said he isn't rooted and got the phone a month ago. But I did hear rumors that some L04 variants would get nougat a couple weeks in advance so I don't really expect to get nougat until a couple of weeks into February.
Also OP does the stock messaging app support quick reply implemented from nougat?

In Poland some people get official OTA for L09 model, so they start updating our phone earlier

I was also able to get the EMUI5/Nougat upgrade through HiCare under the "early adopter" section. I'm in Finland and have L19 (the 64GB dual-SIM version).
Based on what I read, the early adopter program is not a beta program, but just the first bunch to receive the official upgrade?
Haven't installed the upgrade yet, have to first backup and charge the phone.

I would say it's more like release candidate. Under the early adopter section I have a comment that "some of the updates doesn't have official status and could be still not stable". Anyway, enjoy. It brings this much needed UI refresh

Where can I find the early adopter section in the hicare app?

after the update the screen off and lock is not working anymore, if you lock with the app you must enter password to unlock

in the app it's under Service, Os update and early adopters, make sure you have the latest version of Hicare from the Playstore also,.

Hej everyone...
Same happened to me today morning...i've got notification then OTA update is ready to download...
I'm in Sweden, not rooted, locked bootloader...

Thanks, that's what I thought. Of course it's useless to have an early adopter program if you are forced to release the same version to the others anyway. You have to have an option to fix bugs if major showstoppers arise.
Did the upgrade, everything went smoothly.
I was pleasantly surprised that the upgrade still has Huawei Swype keyboard as an option in addition to Swiftkey. I use Swype on all my mobile devices, now I don't have to install it separately.

Hi guys, I got the 360 update this morning.
Its not the official N update im on the beta N uk program.
I was intouch with honor UK early this week and he said that we would get another beta update before the official N release.
As you can see from the screen shots this update was only nearly 500mb.
I'm not sure if they are doing different things in different countries but this is what's happening in the UK

Yes I get that but I spoke to a Honor rep on Google + on Monday and he said that we was getting one more update on the beta before the Official N release in Feb.

V20 in the UK - What SW Version are You On?

I have just bought a V20 from an Ebay seller.
It comes with Android 7.0 and it says that there are no newer versions to download.
However, my security patch level seems quite old being December last year.
The SW version details are as follows:
Android Version - 7.0
Android Security Patch Level - 1 December 2016
Kernel Version - 3.18.31
Build Number - NRD90M
Software Version - V10c-TWN-XX
Does anyone else in the UK with a V20 have more up to date software and if so how did you get it?

So do all TWN phones have a security patch from December 2016?
Do other variants of the phone have later patches?

Go here -

Download the following firmware -
H990ds10e_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_0314.kdz
Follow instructions in OP and when in LGUP select Update.
You'll have newer firmware with security patch at 1 March 2017.
And use search function, this has been answered already.

Thanks for that.
I had seen that link but I had no idea if that would install a later version of software than I already have.
Just so I understand - why does my phone say that it is up-to-date if there is a later version of the firmware on LGs web site? (Where does the V20 check for firmware revisions?)

You're welcome. I was also supplied the link by another user, that's one of the great things about XDA and the members here.
Because a lot of us TWN variant owners don't live in the region the phone was released in we won't get OTA updates.
That's just how LG operates. I find it ridiculous that they release variants for different regions with different specs, hardware etc..
How do they come to the conclusion that the V20 will not be released in the UK and Europe?
People of some countries prefer 64GB but others will be happy with 32GB????
Wireless charging only for some?
Then there's the bootloader unlock farce........
This phone is really awesome and root would make it even more the perfect phone for me. But I knew what the situation was before I got it, and I'm still happy I own it.

Because the updated firmware is NOT meant for your branded TWN V20. It will work but you will not get any upcoming updates anymore. You will have to that maually.

Hi Pierre.
You're absolutely correct, but updating to where we are now is better than no update at all don't ya think?
And it's easy now to check for and install future updates :good:

Hi, you are absolutely right about that. And I think it's pretty safe to switch firmware. it's quite easy with LGUP. But maybe LG will surprise us the coming weeks with a fresh new TWN update

And a bootloader unlock too?
That would be awesome, I'm already missing all the stuff I was able to accomplish on my Z2.

H990DS can be flashed to same model firmware of other regions. My TWN H990ds had flashed to Philippines V10g and working without any problem , only two pop-up message after every system restart , but it didn't affect to any function..
Base on the hardware of H990ds is similar to H990n (HongKong) , I tried to flash to V10h(H990n) and it is working as well.
Both version's performance are better than TWN-V10c , i think it's worth to upgrade.
V10H-HongKong

My US 32GB wifi version still got nothing

This was only the build number. The complete version number is like BTV-DL09-C100B303.

Germany, LTE version, BTV-DL09C100B303 received OTA on July 19 ... it was a long wait :good:

I received my new U S m3 model about 2 weeks ago. As soon as I went online it offered the new nougat update. I updated and everything works fine.

Also it started to install some apps I did not had so far (deezer, news republic etc) automatically. Removed them and all is fine.

As I said, before that I used the same version (dont know the custome version) but installed via huawai firmware updater

Thanks. What is interesting for me is that you have the same custom version. Because i read somewhere else that this custc100d002 version won't get an update. Ok, your update path seams to be not standard but there is still hope that i will get an update also...

My device also has version CUSTC100D002. Like I posted above, got it OTA.

I'm in germany and have no OTA Update until now.

Hello to everybody. I bought my M3 with LTE a month or two ago from Amazon DE however I live in Bulgaria(I use UK local settings for the tablet). I'm still at BTV-DL09C100B009 with which it came and I'm not getting any OTA updates. I keep it without SIM because my two cards are in my mobile phone and I don't need one for the tablet in everyday usage. I only use data-only SIM with it when I travel.
Anyway I moved one of my SIM's from my phone to the tablet in the hopes I would get the update and then return it back but still nothing. I even installed the latest HiSuite but even there it says I'm on the latest official build. Am I missing something? Why am I not getting the official update and is there a way to install it manually(FirmwareFinder perhaps? and how to differentiate it from the previous file with the same version)? Also from what version did you receive your updates when they came?
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,

At last, US variant FRD-L04 receives Oreo

Finally, we FRD-L04 /L14 users will be receiving EMUI 8 (Oreo) within a month time after Honor/Huawei approved B560 update today evening as well as the EMUI 5 (NOUGAT) roll back package B398.
for those whom unlocked their bootloaders; don't forget to relock in order to receive FOTA.
Enjoy it

Damn, it came 2 weeks after I've already upgraded my phone ?

Did you use HiSuite?

I was able to update using HiSuite - running EMUI 8.0 now. The phone updater did not show any updates, but my IMEI was always a few weeks behind in getting updates.

updating now.,

Make sure the device has more than 2.5gb free

Of course it was finally released. I'm supposed to have my new Oneplus 6T delivered today. LOL! I have to say though that I did enjoy my time with my Honor 8. I'd still be using it for a while if the battery hadn't recently gone to crap.

Hello all. Just wondering if there was anyone else still waiting on the Android 8 update? It's April 2019 and I still haven't received it yet. I even tried connecting my phone to my computer through Hi Suite, and it tells me I'm running the latest update. I'm still on Android 7 with EMUI 5. Not sure what's going on. I'd love to get the update though. Any suggestions?

Calm down, this is beautiful for FRD-L04 users, but unfortunately you will receive just B562 update after oreo, then it's the end. End of software support i mean. Honor is making strange things, continuosly update security patches on nougat while forgetting about oreo...as FRD-L09 user (running Oreo since it was officially launched a lot of time ago) i can assure that i've not received any other ota update after oreo and i should manually update even to B562

Same boat here. Been using my device stock from day one and finally got an itch to look into any update past Android 7. Found this thread so I installed Hisuite. Sure don't care what-so-ever for their EULA in their app. It's no wonder folks worry about the security of Huawei devices when you have to give up so much just to get a software update. Anyway I states I too have the latest available updates. For such a great phone hardware wise it feels like a shame how little updates it really got during it's life. Ah, well it still is functionally fine for now so I'll carry on as is.

Does anyone know how I can go to EMUI 8?
I've tried OTA, HiSuite, and Firmware flasher. None of these methods work. Firmware flasher, however does find the EMUI 8.0 upgrade, but even if I proxy the download, it won't show up in OTA update. If I download, it won't flash. Any ideas?
