I think you will probably need an active AT&T SIM card.

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.

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.

Oreo updates for LG v20 us996.......

I do believe that because LG is not going to update the us996 to Oreo now a lot of themes being developed no longer work on this device any suggestions on where to go from here tried to unlock bootloader with no success......
Many have been successful in unlocking/rooting the US996, and there are a few discussions on XDA on how to do that.
My question is what the new date is for the Oreo update. I've heard mid-Nov and late-Nov. Does anyone know?
With only a couple of days left in November it is not looking good for the v20
Do we have any more information on updates?
Kinda a bummer when you buy the US996 thinking that the "carrier unlocked" status would make it get updates from LG quicker than carriers update the phones.

Last I read some time ago oreo for the 996 was scheduled for sometime in December
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
It's January, has LG released an ETA for Oreo for the us996?
1/2/19 @ 8:50PST Receiving the Oreo update on my US996.

Not for me here
Got the notice this morning......took 20f. It had a little more battery this evening than on Nougat. No SIM though; gotta swap devices in VZ account due to unlocked Note 3 using Micro SIM.
Good timing; was getting very frustrated with losing signal/sim on Note 3 custom roms. May camp out on the V20 for a while and see how it improves things.
I've been trying to get 20f on my (supposedly) unlocked US996 phone.
Originally tried downloading OTA, but got Invalid Software Package twice.
My wifi is capped at 30gb/mo(!), and it forces me to use wifi - no option to use LTE, and I have unlimited (22gb) of it.
So I decided to try LG Bridge.
It downloaded & started applying the update, only to say "Your phone cannot update". I tried it a few times. Same thing @ same spot.
Then I decided to try LGUP. See error here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/ady77a/help_upgrading_from_us99610n_to_us99620f/
(I've downloaded the TWRP img for v20 linked, but the kdz file linked has a note: * - unlocked non-US Cellular)
Now I can't get into my phone. It just brings up the Firmware Update screen.
When I checked using fastboot, it says it is not unlocked. Is that because of the SIM card?
Is there anyway to restore the existing(?) 10n firmware? Can I flash anything (TWRP, etc) without it being unlocked? And if not, do I need to call US Cellular to get it unlocked?
I'm quite rusty with custom roms & the like. It's been awhile!
--- EDIT ---
I was able to get 10n (what I had before this mishap) reinstalled with no errors, using LGUP.

I lost some pictures that weren't on my SD card, but I'm trying to restore a Google backup now.
Hopefully this will be helpful for someone else!
Have had Oreo update now for a couple of days and it is running smoothly.......never thought it would get here........

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.

LG V350AWM Firmware

I have an LG V350AWM, which was apparently made for the Mexican market. It's unlocked - I got it off Ebay a year or so ago. It's running Android 8.0.0. I'm using it on Cricket, in the U. S.
I check regularly for updates in settings, but have never been offered any - either security patches, or Android 9. I read somewhere that unlocked AT&T phones can only be updated over the air???
I'd rather stay with Android 8 that risk bricking a $300 phone, but is there any way to update the firmware on this phone?
