[Q] OTA update

Hi everyone. LG G2 is my first LG phone with android, since I have had only samsung phones untill now(S2, Note2 & Note3) and I 'm new in flashing LG phones.
Well, when I bought G2, it was from T-Mobile, it had 4.2.2 branded. Since I'm living in Greece, I flash 4.2.2 d80210e (open Greece 16GB) and I had no problems since.
Then kitkat was releasted. I ve waited and waited but OTA update never came. I folow the guide in xda forum and tried to flash it, but I was unsuccessful (I have win7 on virtual server in mac os 10.9 so its a little complicate). I plugged the in a friend of mine's pc with lg pc suite and automatically the phone updated to 4.4.2, but my phone was again t-mobile branded!!
After that in my friends pc I successfully flashed the phone to d80220b 4.4.2 open Greece. Yesterday, there has been releasted an update to my firmware in Greece, but no OTA update for me!! When I put my phone in download mode it states "rooted"(!?). Ive never rooted my phone.
Is there a way after I flash the g2 to the latest d80220d open Greece to have OTA update capabilities or is there a way to unable OTA updates now so that my phone will recieve the updates?

Update by OTA locked

Hey guys. I live in Brazil and have one H870, but it was from a network operator and the updates are locked by the IMEI by this operator. So, I flashed the v20b on it, and it works, but it is unable to find updates by OTA. There is any workaround to bypass this block?

Not sure if I understand correctly. But if I u flashed v20b your phone won't find any additional OTAs because 20b is the most recent firmware.

Yeah, I don't think that happens with someone else outside Brazil. Here, when you get a H870 from a network operator, they put their own customized ROM, that is really slow and consumes a lot of battery. But when you try to flash other ROMs, you don't get any OTA update. Everyone who asked about it got the same answer, they locked the update with the IMEI, and the only way to get OTA update is using the stock operator ROM.

V20b for H870 is the last update for this variant, so you wont find any OTA right now and maybe never more this year.
We hope Android 9 came to this phone but most probably later next year so.
Even tho you cant find OTA you can connect to LG Bridge to check that, but as someone and i already told, v20b is the last one until now.

LG G6 Stuck on Nougat

I have an LG G6 which is stuck on Nougat 7.0, The model number is LG-H873
I have tried the OTA Update checker but it says that my phone is on the latest OS, I was wondering if I could update to Official 8.0? Or do I have to root it and install a custom rom? Also is it possible to use LG UP?
I don't know if it is important or not but Android Security Patch Level is April 1, 2017.

Affirmative of the above that the LG Bridge software update "downgrades" the software version from Oreo to Nougat and brings back security patch for October 1st 2017...
It indicates that there are 2 available when you check but upon the completion of the first update, it wipes your phone clean.
Thank god, my G6 is a backup phone... version H870DS users take note. Don't use the LG Bridge to upgrade if your G6 is your primary device!

H870DS TWN Pie
My H870DS TWN updated to Android 9 (V30a) using the LG Bridge and even though it took quite a long time in the LG logo in order to start, it started and is working well.

If you can connect it to LG Bridge, isn't there a link in the right bottom of the "Software Update" menu to "Recover from update error" (not that all names where translated from the Portuguese language of my LG Bridge).

Hmm dont`t know bro be carful not to brick the phone
whait for your region the update is not such a big deal
have a nice day!

Hi. Anyone able to put the PIE Camera apk on here for the LG G6. I updated it foolishly from the apkmirror site hoping to get the G7 camera and the Standard/Wide angles are reversed and not working properly. I should be able to install over this one like I did with the newer LG Camera Apk.

So now I can confirm that changing a region is also an option
Two days ago I have successfully flashed (using LGUP+UPPERCUT -> UPGRADE option) other region (HKG) on my LG G6+ (H870DSU).
The firmware was H870DSU30a_00_OPEN_HK_DS_OP_0920.kdz and all works right after the flash, but for better performance I did also hard reset.

Nice but not allways is going to work i flashed some time ago android 7 indian version on my hkg and was not working

just to share, a week ago got update on my G6 870 in Bulgaria on A1 (ex mtel) operator.
so I was really pleased with the stability of the phone, got it with Android 6.x, than different stable upgrades, now with 9 is a bit slow. Did wait for a week, and today did master reset to be sure it is not bulk giving the issue, it is not. It is the release. First time disappointed by LG, but still a supporter
good luck

LG G6 H870DS TWN (Pie Update)

I would like to confirm that my H870DS TWN version updated to Android 9 using LG Bridge and everything is work well.
I took quite a long time to boot up in the LG logo, but finally it did and after about 2 manual reboots it's working as it did in Android 8, even though the security patch is from May 2019. Hopefully it will receive an OTA update with updated security settings.

Thanks for the information. Many people suffer from lg bridge when I wanted to update it showed 2 updates available and I didnt want to update due to complaints . Most people told lg bridge formatted their phones and downgraded to nougat !! did you have the same problem?

No, I did not have the problem stated by other members that, I think, do have the G6 Korean and not Taiwan (TWN) version (the one I have).
In my LG Bridge, only 1 update was shown and everything went ok. I was afraid the phone was blocked during boot up, but it managed to start after 10-15 min with the LG logo in the screen. After that I already restarted twice and it booted up normally.

oh ok thanks for the information. I think the problem only occurs twn and other regions except korea

OMG, I've given up on the LGH870DS a long time ago and quite surprise that Pie is now available. Any idea if they had kindly allowed the phone to be boot unlocked to install any custom roms? (just hoping!)

Thx, H870DS30a_00_OPEN_HK_DS_OP_0920 all good

After two tries with LG brigde I only got Android 7 of 8 but no Android 9. Also tried to flash with uppercut/LGUP but it stopped at 4% (used 3 different computers but no luck). If someone has a solution to flash the Android Pie to my H780DS TWN I would be glad to hear it.

If you do have H870DS TWN (Taiwan) and in LG Bridge you don't find the Pie update, you can download it from here:
https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/20901/H870DS30a_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_0920.kdz

I had downloaded the .kdz file but was not able to flash it. Uppercut fails at 4%. Is there an other way to flash the .kdz file? I don't mind if the phone is wiped.

Flashed successfully with LG UP 1.16 and LG UP DLL update:
LGUP_Lab_Frame_Ver_1_16_0_3.msi
LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_40_2.msi
H870DS30a_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_0920.kds
Last version of LG Bridge is installed on my computer and working but I'm unable to install Android 9 update... After the update, my phone is on Android 7 !?
So, I've tried with LG UP and common DLL... and it's OK.
Just launch LG UP, check "upgrade" and select downloaded kds firmware. :good:

Anyone knows why there isn't an OTA Update yet?
