Which Asian country are you referring to? As in my country Indonesia, we have both the 870DS and the 870DSU but we haven't heard about the oreo update until now. Mine is the 870DS.

You might get an answer from THIS THREAD

the device is unbranded so it wont get updates from 3 i think, i think it will get updates from samsung directly
however yes 3 have released ota update however my phone is saying the latest updates have been installed when there are actually infact updates available

As your phone report that the latest updates have been installed, that means everthing is OK and the phone status is official...
Sometimes some roms available to dowload (for example from Sammobile) could be not available yet in OTA mode. I always flash with Odin, I don't really relay on OTA updates...

okk thanks, just a quick question which country gets the updates first? and which countrys firmware are you running on your device?

Hi Guyz
can you help and explain why my device got no updates till now? B126 released few month ago and the B135 followed but i got nothing.
Am i missing something i got the phone from Dubai and live in UK
model is: MHA-L29C185B110
Seems like the sim card region matters
Yes papped is right, your phone region is set to middle East but living in UK will not show your phone to the OTA . changing your region in the "cust" file requires rooted phone and a sound experienced individual.

You can use FunkyHuawei to update to the latest version, if you aren't getting OTA updates. I don't think B135 was released for your version -- it's B126 for the C185, which is currently the latest. You won't have to unlock bootloader, root, or void your warranty to use FunkyHuawei.
Theoretically, I think that you will eventually get OTA updates through Huawei, regardless of region. But since not even eRecovery works on non-Chinese models as of yet, FunkyHuawei's the only option for right now.
Hi,
I cant find any news on the web if LG stopped update support for the h870ds from Taiwan or in general China? Only news i found they left china smartphone market.
At devtester there where only a few models included like V30 in taiwan with a security update this year.

I maybe want to flash CIS or INDIA on my G6 dual sim. Or any other advice of what rom is best for west-europe?
Bump
I second this question. I know there are quite a few threads about cross-flashing and similar stuff, but there are some things that are still not clear to me, even after reading these threads, so I decided to use this already existing thread to join in and ask more or less the same:
- is it safe to cross-flash regions? In my case I have TWN and thought about flashing India.
- Which region is most supported by LG? Looking at the firmware update history I would say India, can anyone confirm?
- Did anyone from Europe (in my case Germany) cross-flash and did any problems occur afterwards?
- will I still get OTAs after changing region if I'm in fact in another region?
Thanks for your help guys!
Cheers
I flashed India over SEA without data loss and everything is functioning normally. I used UPPERCUT for LGUP.

I run the india SEA version over my TWN rom without problems .
I used lg back up first and afterwards i needed to restore because it will whipe all after flashing.
You can update with any 870ds region rom over a other 870 DS version. If you want to update you will have to do manual everytime with lg up. Its shows h87010v-global-com instead.

I can answer this one very easily. HD870DS is the variant which receives quite frequent (ignoring South Korean ones). I have an Indian variant and the security updates are quite frequent. In terms of security updates, LG has been doing a decent job here in India
I bought a TWN version and have manually flashed over to an Australian version, everything seems fine. The only thing I cannot confirm is if I will still receive any OTA updates or infact any via LG Bridge, as, surprisingly, no more updates have actually been released since I manually flashed.

@Sathya241288 the procedure is pretty straightforward.
1) Download LGUP, Uppercut and H870DS kdz file that you want.
2) Connect phone to PC, double click Uppercut.exe (be vary, your antivirus may flag it as unsafe).
3) Choose Upgrade and choose location of the firmware file.
4) Start the flash.

Thanks a lot .
I'm in Australia and I also have a Taiwanese H870DS.
Like others here, I've been disappointed by the lack of updates. I'm waiting to see if we get an Oreo update, if not I'll flash it as instructed in this thread.
G6 is not alone.The taiwan v30 last update was januari,it just got a update patch in april.

i tried to ask LG ... this is the answer :

Thank you for writing to LG!
Oreo updates for LGH870DS are in the pipeline but we do not have any news on the release date yet.
We apologise for any disappointment.
Thank you and have a nice day ahead!

I've just got an update to Oreo to SEA version, which was on Oct 2017 security patch. Just run LG Bridge and check for Updates!
Now version is V20a-SEA-XX
I recommend all TWN owners to follow the guide and discussion in this thread, so no need to continue here.
Hi guys,
This is the last version i have on my phone h870ds and havent received an update since november, but i've seen in other forums security updates in january and march, does anyone else have the same issue? Is this a region thing?
you not alone. TWN is the same version V10M - thought it says 1st October for me. Pretty much forgotten regions I think!
Just flash another Region, if you're able to handle this. I did it also by myself. I got the TWN v10m version like you, now i have v10v sea global 1st March Patch. LG left the China Market, maybe also the Updates.

I have considered that - just keeping an eye out if/when OREO gets released for the TWN region then saves me messing around flashing other regions. Ain't you might as well flash with a KOREAN version then you should get OREO straight away? Unless the SEA is KOREAN - if thats the case, haven't you got an opportunity to update to OREO?
Im on the same boat... SEA is south east asia, wich means Indonesia, Malasya, Singapur, Vietnam, Thailand among others, its a kinda big market to be left alone all things consider... Someone should ask LG about it, since my phone is from that region, and my LG support on my country at least sucks... otherwise i would do it myself...
Edit: From a quick search on lg firmwares site i found that many other LG products got updates on firmware for SEA versions as old as this past month.. so i dont think it stopped updating phones...
same here! just wating for oreo to flash another region...
So we should still receive Oreo even if the security patches stopped?

And if we flash to another region do we still receive OTA's or we need to keep flashing firmwares everytime?
My G6 is from the HKG region, is there a way to flash another region?
both HKG and SEA can get Oreo update now via LG bridge
I've heard that Pie has started rolling out on the V20. Does anyone know when it will be available for the H990-DS? I'm in the UK
