I haven't gotten an update on my unlocked V20 since January.... Any advice on how to get updates w/o flashing a new ROM?
Mines an unlocked h990ds and its on the june security patch, who knows when its gonna catch up.
I have the H990ds and I am on the September security patch
Get the latest firmware for your region here then use KDZ Writer in the thread if you're rooted to update. That allows us to root our phone and stay up to date with patches and such.

You didn't say which model you have. I have the unlocked model for US market - US996. US Cellular variant has the same model name, so do not confuse the unlocked US model US996 with the US Cellular one. The US Cellular firmware will work on the unlocked US996 but has bloatware ... Here is the response I got from [email protected]:
Dear XXXXXXXXX:
This is a staff of LG Product Security Response Team(LG PSRT).
First of all, we apologize for late security patch.
LG V20 US996 has many branches, thus security patch schedules are somewhat different depending on regions and carriers.
As I know, our dedicated team said the next security patch for US996 (Unlocked/USA) will be released at December, 2017.
If your information is different from above, please let me know your country and carrier information.
Thanks.
Regards,
LG PSRT

So, not sure if the person responding to my e-mail was pulling my leg or can be trusted ... LG can always change their minds .... and leave the US996 (Unlocked/USA) unsupported.

How does this work are there more variants within h990ds models.
Yes my friend... There are many models within the H990ds for different regions
Anyway of checking when certain regions get security updates?

Nope. You simply rely on a carrier (or LG themselves for the unlocked model) to push an update. Only way atm is to get the latest kdz for your device and use KDZ Writer to update if you're rooted. Or if you're not, LG UP.
US996 An update at last!
Hi!
Just received an OTA update today!
Still no wifi calling or FM Radio.
Software version: US99610n
Android Security Patch Level: November 06, 2017
Still Android 7.0
Only noticeable difference is I can no longer see the options in Wifi Calling when accessing via Quick Shortcut App. I noticed since I accessed to see if wifi calling was now available.
Btw, I'm located in Puerto Rico and with Tmobile.
Hope everyone receives it soon!

Not possible in India
No at&t in India.
Install the update via the KDZ
No kdz is available for AT&T variant. It is probably not possible to root it as dirty Santa won't work. Why you bought such phone. You could have gone for international variant or T-Mobile. If you can install TWRP somehow then you can install custom rom or update by zip

Check the guides section. You can root the h910 all the way up to 10r which is the latest firmware available. It's the how to root h910 guide by runningnak3d. Walks you through the entire process. Since you don't have an active ATT sim the only way to update is to root and install zips through twrp. The process is pretty straight forward and requires flashing another variants kdz and then using dirtysanta to get an unlocked bootloader and flash twrp.

Lol. Still it is useless buying when you can't get full stock firmware along all latest upgrades. The OP want to upgrade not to root or twrp. That's stupid warning everytime you boot. Phone draining battery after 2 or 3 weeks of fine performance.
Hello .Once the Oreo update has gone online for lg bridge,Would the push firmware be for a specific carrier(I use Telus sim card)or would my LG H873 get a general Canadian update?
Gyaaaah, why are you people so impatient?
Right now Oreo is available ONLY for Korean versions of G6.
Hu?
Who the heck are you?I asked a very simple question.Obviously Canada isnt getting it anytime soon.Stop assumptions buddy boy.Now without this guys input can someone answer my question please.Just out of curiosity thats all.Thanks so much

It depends , what is your firmware version ? You can find it in settings, about phone ,about software.(that menu where you can find android version), and read last line.

It does not matter which carrier or sim u r using, it will be updated OTA once update is released. M also using Canadian H873, all updates r OTA(over the Air) and you dont need LG Bridge. You will get general update, not carrier specific.
H87315d is the last firmware i have

So it will be updated OTA or via bridge as any unlocked lg g6 in canada.
Fun fact: In Korea LG is carrier itself. So you will never know who will have update first. Carrier or not by the end of june update arrive or hope will be gone...

As far as I know, carriers tend to follow the same schedule for updates. The update should roll out around the same time for ALL H873 phones, but some things may come up that force carriers to hold back on the update for a bit.
We've just gotta wait patiently now for the carriers to release the update.
What's the latest non-oreo software version for the non us cellular version? Mine's stuck at LGUS99716A

Mine has US99717a, with security patch level dated January 1, 2018.
@sp_1st_timer Thanks!
Contacted LG, their first line of defense insisted it was a US Cellular variant until I escalated. Turns out their regular support people don't have the carrier free version in their system. Days pass... No further response from LG. I guess I'll wait a few weeks & see what happens, if nothing It'll be LinageOS like my other devices, or Maybe time to sell.
Was it rooted?
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.

I have not seen this G975USQU2BSGJ for my AT&T S10+. I have G975USQS2ASGK August patch. What is difference?
It's probably just a carrier update or it's the September security patch update. I am on AT&T too and still on the ASGK firmware despite my phone being connected to wifi all morning which usually forces an update whether you want it or not.

Are you on AT&T as well? These are probably just carrier updates. Maybe small Samsung updates. That's my guess anyway.
No, I'm on U1 unlocked
The B firmware in the past has brought BOYD support for sim swapping. I believe only TMobile has pushed to B at this point.
That's really the only change between the A and B firmwares at this point. So unless you need to swap carriers there is no need to rush.
Thanks.
Not yet, still on September running the Mexican unbranded firmware (MXO).
Chile, CHO has the october patch

Anyone with TPA?
Anyone?
Is it really possible that some markets don't get security updates, or is something wrong with my phone? I know Samsung had a security patch in October but my phone doesn't think so.

Thanks @Viryllo. I have it and according to Frija I am running the latest f/w, I just don't understand how can it be that some markets need to have security patches and others don't.

No worries mate. I've been in this situation since the beginning days of Android.
I looked mine up on samobile and it said latest security patch for Columbia is Sept but I never received the OTA.
So I do what I always do flash with Odin.

OK, but I am curious - does Samsung think that certain countries don't need security update, or is there something wrong with the phone, or the fact that I am not actually in Panama (Panama phone, using TMO in U.S.) prevents me from getting OTA updates? This is basically my question. I need to know because if it's the latter, I'll be waiting for updates for the rest of my life.
Thanks.

Your Service Provider won't impact when you receive OTA Updates, they're distributed by Samsung according to the firmware on your device. In general Exynos variants have to wait longer than Snapdragon variants, likely due to a wider range of SW Provider Firmware variables on Exynos devices. I have the Snapdragon variant, received the Sept 1st update about a month ago.

Thanks for the insight.
I've always had the unlocked version of Samsung phones and most of time I had to flash to get the latest fw.
Same thing I will doing the get on Android 10.

OK, but still - how come some Exynos countries receive updates and others (Exynos countries) don't? I just don't understand this logic of things. Thanks for the explanation though!
That's a question for Samsung, I don't know their priority guidelines.
