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
Will the lg g6 amazon version get oreo update

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.

currentVersion : US997UA10A_03, newVersion : US997UA10C_03
(USC version has US997U16b_00_1127.kdz)
In 10C the lockscreen can be disabled.

Just a FYI...
I received the Oreo update on my LGUS997U last week: US997U20a (includes May 1, 2018 Security Patch)

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

What carrier are you on? I still haven't received it and I"m wondering if AT&T is the problem since they don't technicaly support this model.

Ironically...AT&T
I expect you will see it soon.

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.

I haven't tried it yet but looks like branded and jan patch.
So it is not Nougat update and then we don't care anymore about this firmware?

I'm afraid it is MM. v20 firmware. At least jan sec patch. Hopefully it will come to unbranded roms too.
I can't believe how bad is LG aftersales. If I knew that before I would have bought a different brand.
If it is v20, it is MM.. Unfortunately. And now we have February, almost March so it will be nice if LG releases february update... I think it will be success if LG give us Nougat update at all...

Yeah, terrible LG support. Samsung officialy said that S6 And S Edge will get Android N in a few days/weeks.
I would recommend everyone to generate their unique unlock.bin file on LG G4 unlock website in case of that LG shutdown LG G4 software support completly or Its unlocking page. All of you can easily unlock bootloader and flash custom ROM then (Lineage 14.1 for example).
I have already done that unlocking procedure and I've installed root and twrp. So if LG closes the support, I'll be able to change ROM if necessary.

I'd like to try that, but error while flashing at 9%. I had to remove battery and turn on my phone again. I tried that four times with different USB ports with no luck.

This might fix that error, but I haven't tried it yet.
There must be a reason why this KDZ cannot be installed normally.
After using 0x2000 fix KDZ flashed sucessfully. ROM has Android 6.0 with security patch from January 2017. It just has custom Vodafone boot animation, anything else stock, no bloat.

LG V20 H990ds software update?

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

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."...

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.

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.

LG G6 H870 updates?

I recently bought an unlocked lg g6 H870 eu version.I tried to update but it says that i am on the latest firmware although it says i have the july security patch.
Is this the latest update in Europe or what?
Yes, european G6 stucks on V10T firmware with july patch. Great work LG! :/

For LG G6 H870 you sure ? European variant and you was on 10t before can you take screenshot in about phone ?
10u is the last update i saw. i had some issues with my H870 and i flashed stock 10T with uppercut. When i connected it to LGUP, it showed another updated(10u) ready for download. I didn't had the patience to wait for it, as the server was really slow,but still...lg keeps delivering updates until oreo arrives.

Flash it, you won't regret. Standby battery drain and camera are way better than on 10t.
Can you be more specific about the camera?
Have they fixed oversharpening?

I used to have some kind of watercolor effect which is now gone, I don't know if that's what you mean. Plus, the front camera has improved A LOT.
OK I took the plunge and updated to v11d Oct 21. So far battery life seems excellent and I have not noticed any overheating of the device. Performance also seems fine.
Can't say I've noticed anything obvious about the main front facing camera-- still slightly washed out look with blowing out of highlights like before.
Shutter does seem a little quicker.
Haven't run into any new features (yet).

US996 Latest Firmware??

What is the latest US996 firmware? I found US99610o_01_0202.kdz with a date of 3/1/2018 on LG Firmwares.com. Of course I connect to LG Bridge but I never get an update there. Anyone using this?

the firmware you listed was released by US Cellular for the US996, but since it's not showing for you in LG Bridge I'm guessing you have the unlocked US996? are you rooted as well?
Yes unlocked US996 but not rooted. I'm on build NRD90M, version US99610n showing Nov 6th security patch. I believe I got this firmware from the same site a few months back after I first bought the phone. Of course I didn't realize there are different US996 firmwares. What I'm running now has been flawless for months, I just don't know what the latest unlocked US996 firmware is. Any idea?
Hi rzracer2,
Did you ever get/find an answer to your question. I'm in the same boat. I have US 996 unlocked running build NRD90M. Software version is US99610d. Both UpdateCenter and LG bridge state I have the latest OS. On LG bridge it is confusing, after I click the OK accepting I already have the latest OS, what's on screen implies there is a newer version.
Seems like there is the US mobile firmware which have new versions, and then the unlocked which has pretty much been abandoned?! Pity, the whole reason I got the factory unlocked was so that I wouldn't be hostage to the carrier update schedule... sigh..
I don't know if this will be of any help............

thanks! I'll look into it. With my previous phones, I used to flash custom roms, root the phone, etc... I got fed up with that and decided to go stock and factory unlocked so as to not deal with carrier bloatware/nonsense. That was the whole reason I got this phone. I was hoping to keep updated/hassle free with OTA updates. Looks like that is not the case and I'm back to flashing roms! Thanks LG!
