okay, this is my 1st blackberry, and i have the priv on tmobile (t-mobile variant i assume , with tmobile bloat). i bought this off craigslist and im not sure if im on the beta or the official firmware. on the tmobile site it says my software version sould be AAG111 for the quadrooter security update.*https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28664*. but in my phone it says software version is AAG191, model number STV100-1. i want to know if the blackberry i have, is it on the old beta? or the official firmware? as seen on the tmobile support page, the firmware versions do not match and system updates say up to date. also the phone still gets really hot which made me to believe it was on the beta and didnt recieve the tempurature update, im not sure on this please help

AAG191 is the current software. Marshmallow with September 6th patches.

Stuck on July update on S8 Active

I have an S8 Active unlocked in Europe. All OK but there are NO updates for me, even if AT&T have an August update for S8 Active
Any ideea what to do? There is any chance to receive an OTA update if I use it in Europe? Really strange... and frustranting. NO root, no custom OS etc.

To my knowledge, August update hasn't been released... I have an S8 Active on AT&T and just checked for update... None available.
Why is it so infuriating? It's well known that active updates come late, they always have.

Maybe things to know before going into it. You don't ever buy a carrier phone like this expecting root and custom ROMs SMH.
And that's the current firmware with the July patch. Wait a bit since it just came out or get an international model a little more suited to what you're wanting. The att S8 active is NOT it.
My fault It was released on August but it's July. I need some glasses Thx!
Release date: August 9, 2017
Android version: 7.0
Security patch level (SPL): July 1, 2017
Did you ever get there update? I'm considering buying an "unlocked" AT&T S8 Active too.

Not yet On AT&T page seems there is a new update (Oct. patch) but still nothing for me. I'm un July patch :crying:
Did anyone received this? Security patch level (SPL): October 1, 2017 For me it's not showing...
I did

You need to use it on AT&T network to receive the update?! Because, I even reset my phone, do anything, but no sign of update.
I use it in Europe so, no AT&T for me. Really sad
That's too bad. I did end up buying an unlocked S8 Active G892A, I REALLY wanted this device so decided to buy anyway despite concern over updates.
I know the S7 active did require an AT&T SIM to download OTA updates, but I haven't seen if this really is the case with the S8 Active as well... I will write again once I receive my own device.
I am on October. I tried to find the url, but I took the update too long ago.

Any hope for updates from LG for unlocked LGV20?

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!

Oreo on the LG V20 H990DS

Android 8.0 Oreo started rolling out on the LG V20 at the end of July. I own the international version of the phone, the LG V20 H990DS. When I check for an OS Update it says that there's no Update available.
Why is that? Am I the only owner of the H990DS version experiencing this? Could it have to do with the fact that I imported it because it's not being sold by retail in my country?
Thanks in advace.

Ok, thanks.
Do you or does anybody have an idea, when it's expected to be released for everyone?
(I know that there are other threads, but they are not really up-to-date with the most recent post on the topic I found being from March)
Thanks in advace.
Mid august or september was the mentioned dates in previouse posts.
I asked the LG online chat about the H990DS updates....
Here is the transcript from LG chat on the question:
Time of chat: 8/15/2018 3:01:28 PM
Length of chat: 00:07:16
Your name: Dax
Chatted with: Micel
3:01 PM Micel: Hello, Dax. Please allow me a moment while I review your question...
3:01 PM Micel: I will be more than happy to assist you with your concern.
3:02 PM Dax: Great
3:02 PM Micel: Yes, there is an update that will be rolled out to LG V20.
3:02 PM Micel: However, we do not have any specific time when the update will be rolled out.
3:03 PM Dax: Is this going to be a security update, or a version update?
3:03 PM Micel: It is a software version that will be for bugs and fixes.
3:03 PM Dax: So not Android 8.0, just an update to 7.0?
3:04 PM Micel: The update that will be rolled out is an Oreo version which is Android 8.0.
3:04 PM Dax: Great, really good to hear!
3:05 PM Micel: No worries.
3:05 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:06 PM Dax: So, although you dont have a specific time - are you able to at least say within a week, within a month, this year?
3:06 PM Micel: Sorry but I do not have any idea about the timeframe.
3:06 PM Dax: ok thanks.
3:06 PM Micel: I'm afraid that if I will give a timeframe, this is misinformation.
3:06 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:07 PM Dax: Is there any information on how much longer this device will be supported for?
3:07 PM Micel: No, there is none.
3:07 PM Dax: ok, thats all. Thanks for your time.
3:08 PM Micel: You're very much welcome. I hope this has been of some assistance Dax.
3:08 PM Micel: Thank you for visiting LG Australia New Zealand Live Chat Support. Have a wonderful day.
Is there any news? There will be update for any H990DS version? I have TWN, but i read that roms for other countries can be flashed.
From what I have seen on forums etc it looks like it'll start rolling out from Sept 7. But only LG knows really, and they aren't telling. I have the exact same model, and yes you can install different regions ROMs but I find they don't always work the same. I tried a different version and had better battery life/signal, but Google assistant didn't work well and I had volume issues so went back to the version my phone came with.
LG mobile must be the most transparent company when it comes to informing there user base of updates:good:

LG open-source website listed the kernel source code for H990 model... Which is identical to H990DS, H990N, H990N etc... Elsa model...
Earlier it was listed only for Korean F800 series..
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H990
So we should be able get oreo in September for sure...
Now it's up to LG what best features they would include in it... My only concern in this phone is the battery backup....
Let's hope so....
Jesus, they still haven't updated this phone?? Glad I sold it, 1st mobile to ship with Nougat and then an awful track record in updates. They need to get their act together. Nice audio quality, shame about after support
V20 H990ds oreo update
Hello Everyone
I have same version in india and still not getting the update of oreo. Lg needs to do something for customers for update the software frequent.
my wife h p10 lite has 8.0 plus updates now to august 18 .. my lofty is still on 7 and nov 17 ... is there a moral there somewhere ... ??
No updates for my H990DS since November 2017... My second phone is a Huawei P20 (not the Pro) since three months and I have already received THREE security updates and one to push the power for players. What a difference, Huawei is now number two in worldwide sales. But I love my LG too, great camera etc.!

VS995 got its oreo treatment yesterday
According to an article from androidpolice,
Verizon specific model of V20 (VS995) got its oreo yesterday.
Are we up next? or gotta wait in line behind
LS997 (t-mobile)
US996 (US cellular)
H990T (Mexico)?
Like many others here, V20 will be the last LG mobile device for me.
This will be my last Lg. It's sad, because it's a great device.
I have the USA version of the V20 on Verizon Wireless and got the Oreo update late last night.
It seems smoother ... but had to reset a lot of my custom Apps and settings ... I'm liking it!
F**king LG!
I have the Indian H990ds, and it's still on the security update from April 2017.
I wouldn't hold your breath, the H990DS isn't even on the list for the source code release for Oreo, if it shows up there I'm guessing it'll be at least a month before it starts rolling out.

It looks like a generic response where they substitute whatever model number is being inquired about . Since the Sprint version is months behind other variants already being upgraded this person responding doesn't seem to have a clue . At this point I don't think Sprint has any intention or plan to have LG upgrade our phone to oreo . The verizon model was updated 6 months ago .
https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g5-an...ad-lg-g5-android-oreo-8-0-stock-firmware.html
Yes this is not going to happen, it's better to get rid of this phone
whaaaaaaaaaaat? they Wont give us oreo?
As of April 4th, the Indian variant of the LG G5 is now receiving the Oreo update....so by a VERY small chance, we may still get Oreo... Im off contract, so I only use this phone for my second Pokemon Go account connected via hotspot, so I'm not DYING for the update, but damn LG and Sprint....a promise is a promise.
