How should we know? Go yell this at Motorola, not here, where we have the same knowledge on the subject as you have. Unfortunately, not even the people from Customer Support have a clue about it.
I think there will be no Oreo for us, the promise is bull****

Probably the wisest thing to do, whilst you can ask Motorola, it's unlikely that they'll tell you. If you really want a taste of Oreo, there's custom ROMs.
Given that the G5S and G5 series haven't received their soak tests yet, I imagine we're still in a queue to get our device updated.
As an aside, I'm not looking forward to all the posts about hardbricking when it comes to downgrading from the stock Oreo OTA if that gets leaked...

Unless there's a soak test that hasn't been discussed (given this is XDA, highly unlikely, even though Motorola Feedback Network members are under a non-disclosure confidentiality agreement to not reveal soak tests), there's been no mention of a soak test for the G5/G5S series devices on their respective XDA forums. I do not know if this is due to technical difficulties in getting the devices Oreo ready or if the engineering teams are just busy working on the builds. The only mentions have been rather excited interpretations of a 64 bit 8.1 Oreo update for the G5 appearing in Geekbench (which appears to be a custom ROM) and the brief appearance of update notes for the G5S Plus, which were replaced by the June 2018 security update.
Regardless of whether P is coming, I would encourage patience for the Oreo update. We've already got enough posts about whether Oreo is coming on the G5/G5S Plus forums, and I'd rather the G4 Plus forums didn't devolve into that state of endless questions about when Oreo stock is arriving.
Additionally, as I mentioned above, with a major update I forsee users hardbricking as they try the soak test/the Oreo update, attempt to downgrade to Nougat and then brick their device when they try to use a Nougat OTA update. I really do not like telling users that their device is likely hard bricked and the current blankflash we have (as of writing this) likely won't work on a corrupted Oreo bootloader.

I think wait for some days to receive OTA Nougat bcz i don't think anyone got officially OTA Nougat...
I can confirm this. I had flashed MPJ24.139-63 earlier and received Nougat OTA Update. But since mine was rooted and had TWRP recovery, it failed. So I took the downloaded file and flashed MPJ24.139-63 again hoping I'd get the update. But now it tells my device is up to date.

This is nothing in plain sight for people in the United States as we get the chaft everytime. Good device but thought they followed Googles lead in their device updates. Here is what is received from Lenovo
My name is Mohammed from Motorola E-mail Support and it will be my pleasure to assist you with any concern that you might have. I hope that your day is going great so far.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience that we may have caused you.
In this case let me tell you that you can check for updates by going to Settings > About Phone> system updates. If the device says it's up to date, and you have not received the notification update, you should wait until the notification to arrive since it is sent via OTA, by the way let me tell you that we do not send system updates in this case you can also contact your carrier about this issue since they are in charge to send it.

I can't say for all carriers but I know that most have the final say on when the updates are pushed out. Since they field calls for problems their support people have to be up to speed on each release. Almost across the board you'll see the following when you put in your carrier "This device will be upgraded to the Android 7 (Nougat) release, pending partner support."
It sucks.

The only way to remain risk free let the update notification arrive and then update from there. Anything else has an element of riskiness involved.
But soak test otas can be flashed if you can bear the risk

Is there such a problem with waiting? I mean really? If you are so desperate for an upgrade install a custom ROM. It's not officially released yet and only reports of soak tests are not through Motorola. Please be patient. It's better to have it right than not.

My thoughts exactly. I can see the point if someone wants to install a custom rom, lord knows I've done it enough, but installing a soak test that could kill your real OTA or contain bad code, borders on ridiculous. If you don't have a chance of receving Nougat then I'd go for it, but AFAIK, all the G4's are going to get it. I actually had an official soak test on a previous phone and it killed my final ota.
So I just got a email for a soak test, wonder if it would block sunshine again. Luckily I already unlocked by mine.

A further reminder to spend the money for sunshine now if you have any desire for an unlocked bootloader. Do not cry here if you take this soak or the ota and can't unlock if you had the opportunity to do so now.
Interesting. Maybe they'll throw us a bone and actually give us some security patches besides the one that stops Sunshine from working.
$10 says it's just a security patch rushed out to block Sunshine. So, EVERYBODY will now rush to install it before unlocking their bootloader.
Motorola Droid Turbo to receive Soak Test; could a surprise Nougat update be on the way?
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Moto...-surprise-Nougat-update-be-on-the-way_id91284
If you own the DROID Turbo, don't get your hopes up too high. These type of surprises rarely ever happen. Additionally, the fact that Motorola wants to rush this Soak Test probably means that the update contains something less earth shattering than a new Android build. Instead, it might offer a few bug fixes or the latest Google security patch.

If your xt1254 (Verizon Droid turbo) has an unlocked bootloader via the sunshine app before now, then you are safe and it is not necessary to purchase sunshine again.
It is best practice not to take OTA's ever, if you prefer having root access to your phone.

Right. That doesn't mean you can't ever install UPDATES. Just wait until the stupid people take the OTA, see what it does.
Then the update will be posted here in XDA -- in many places and you can install them manually. Like the 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmware update. It's posted here in XDA as:
the full raw update,
a TWRP flashable version, (flashed with RSD or fastboot)
and was turned into a debloated, tweaked ROM version.
All which could be installed by people with unlocked bootloaders. The latter two could be installed via TWRP custom recovery.
There was never any reason to take the unknown OTA from Verizon, and never will be a reason to do so. If an OTA from Verizon is useful in any way, many, many versions will be posted here with expert commentary on what it does, how to install it. Early version of the 6.0.1 Marshmallow OTA bricked Droid Turbos which were encrypted. Verizon/Motorola stopped the OTA for several days. There's NEVER any reason to be the guinea pig for Verizon's incompetence. It's not like they didn't have enough time to test the firmware! The XT1225 got the SAME Marshmallow back in July 2016.

It's gotten enthusiastic reviews from users, but would be better for you to go to that link and read the op (first post) and then read the last few pages of comments. Not all the pages, but at least the last 5 or 6.
A couple of us already told you about it in the other thread:
ChazzMatt said:
I know you don't want a "ROM", but you might consider ComputerFreak274's stock-based ROM. It's just de-bloated, tweaked stock Verizon Motorola Marshmallow firmware. Has audio boost and some other stuff too -- battery tweaks, speed tweaks, cache tweaks, etc.
If you are a Verizon user, right now this is the only "ROM" that lets you keep VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling on Verizon.
You can still install Xposed with this, he tells you how to do it in his op.
I'm on Resurrection Remix Marshmallow myself, so I'm not suggesting it because I use it (I have XT1225, not XT1254). I'm suggesting it because it's basically stock firmware the way Verizon/Motorola should have released it. It's a "ROM" for XT1254 Verizon users who don't want full custom ROMs.

Now that Sunshine unlocks 6.0.1 bootloader?
Figured as much. The people speculating Nougat were delusional. Lenovo/Motorola hasn't even given all the Quarks Marshmallow yet.

Nougat? Motorola hasn't even released stock Marshmallow for all the Moto Maxx phones yet! The U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 (clone of the XT1254 Droid Turbo in every way -- FCC ID, radio bands) is still on 5.0.2 Lollipop!
None of the Quarks are on the Motorola Nougat list, which was released months ago by Motorola/Lenovo. Would be very unusual to give an unannounced Noguat 7.X update, since Motorola/Lenovo seems to want to do less work -- not more -- regarding updates to their customers.
Motorola announced Marshmallow for Quarks October 2, 2015. WHEN did they deliver it?
XT1225 Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo got it in July 2016 (9 months later),
Took Motorola until December 2016 (13 months) to actually give it to the Droid Turbo XT1254 --
U.S. Moto Maxx still does not have Marshmallow (16 months and counting).
If you want Nougat, unlock your bootloader and flash any of the custom Nougat 7.X ROM we have available. Here's the current custom Nougat (7.x) Quark ROMs to choose from.

Any of the top three Nougat ROMS on the list have very high reviews. You can go to those threads and ask questions, and see other Droid Turbo owners.
#2 and #3 are maintained by Droid Turbo owners who use Verizon, if that makes a difference to you. But all three are excellent and many Droid Turbo owners are using all three.

However, if you need Verizon VoLTE, then you should go with a debloated, tweaked Marshmallow ROM based on stock Motorola Verizon firmware. See below. It's not Nougat, but right now only stock Motorola Verizon firmware or a ROM based on stock Verizon firmware can get Verizon VoLTE on this phone -- until a dev discovers the secret handshake. (ZTE has discovered the secret handshake for Verizon VoLTE. Now a dev just needs to figure out what they did.)

@computerfreek274 has now released a Marshmallow ROM for the Droid Turbo XT1254 based on the Verizon's belated Marshmallow firmware. He has debloated it, tweaked it. It has Verizon voicemail app, Verizon VoLTE (only works on Verizon), Verizon Wi-Fi calling (only works on Verizon), some volume boost, and battery saving tweaks.

So as the title suggests. I bought my phone 2 months ago, and since I got it it hasn't updated once. Nothing, not so much as a security patch or anything.
I've tried googling this but nothing comes up. I obviously check via system update - and it says it's up to date.
My build number ends 137-33.
Android security patch 1st January 2017.
It's not rooted. And all stock.
Is this normal?
My phone came with same build and you're not alone. Twiddling thumbs may help with the long wait, or root and try some custom ROMs. I've got the June 5th security patch running CyberOS which is based on Android 7.1.2 and other custom ROMs are similar. There's a debloated stock ROM based on India's G5+ update (they got one already) with the March patch at least. That said, there are rumbles ours is finally coming soon if you do want to remain stock and get the OTA.
What does it say under Settings > About Phone> Software Channel?

I asked a similar question in a separate thread and maybe you know, is the update 137-35-5 that is available as a zip able to be flashed over this same build, 137-33 I have now? I unlocked my bootloader but stopped short of flashing twrp or rooting. I think the 35-5 update only has the May security patch only but someone uploaded the full firmware. Any opinions are welcome.

Yeah, I cannot believe that some regions were being updated months ago to March and subsequently May security patches and the UK is still yet to receive any updates at all. Why do manufacturers make their lives so much more difficult by having such variances by region? A single software version for all regions seems to work just fine for Google and their Nexus/Pixel lines.

I fully agree with you mate and i think it is only going to get worse with Lenovo pumping out more and more models.
I am in same boat my friend
Hi,
How offten is some fix/uprade for this phone?
It depends on who you ask.
Since its andriod one device official response is superfast updates and fixes.
Reality not so fast as of right now. Oreo was released and then pulled. So new users can't update to oreo from nougat through update (settings).
Hope that changes in coming months
The official wording is "monthly security updates", so it should be pretty regular. They just tripped over their own feet rolling out Android Oreo for the Mi A1, apparently they were not quite ready yet but released anyways because they had promised to do so. Presumably that will get better over time
You will definitely have one of the most up-to-date Android phones. My OnePlus X was still running Marshmallow with no official update in sight, so Nougat is already a pretty good update. I expect that it will take them another month to properly roll out Oreo. Android P is also promised, so you will very likely get the next major update as well next year.

Hi I'm looking for h915 users of the Canadian v20 that have successfully rooted their phones. I have many questions and concerns to ask concerning the h915.
I don't know if in 2018, will there still be h915 Users since not much developments for the h915.
Welcome to the small group of Canadian 915 users. Allow me to summarize your information quickly.
If you have received the latest security patch pushed OTA, you're unfortunately out of luck and can not safely root your V20. I unfortunately downloaded the update before I even reached home during the day I purchased mine... Boy, do I regret that terribly. I want root so terribly bad.
Secondly, if you have NOT run the latest security patch, you can flash the US 996 version and successfully achieve root without any problem. The only issues that may arise are baseband incompatibilities, but those are easily corrected by flashing back a 915baseband.zip found here in the forum.
To clarify the aforementioned security patches; In your settings -> software info ... you'll find 'Android Security Patch Level'. If it reads May 1, 2017 then you're out of luck. That bumped your software version from something like H91510d to H91510q. If I'm not mistaken, I believe '10d' was the latest software version released by LG that would allow us to cross flash software versions. Later versions are patched up and locked down.
If you're v10d then hallelujah for you brother!

It looks like I was misinformed the entire time. Well then! Give it shot buddy, I thought that 10q was ARB enabled. According to a deeper check on my own device, it comes back ARB=0. We're all aware what that means ?.
Now I'm very very curious. I'd love to follow your progress and see how you make out with this my friend. There's just one last thought to keep in mind though; LG consumer relations department for their software updates has officially confirmed the next April security patch will ship Android 8.0.
Wait for a taste of the Oreo? Or root now and make the update a little more difficult in 3-4 weeks. Either way I'm half tempted to take the plunge myself now too!

Now I'm very very curious. I'd love to follow your progress and see how you make out with this my friend. There's just one last thought to keep in mind though; LG consumer relations department for their software updates has officially confirmed the next April security patch will ship Android 8.0.
Wait for a taste of the Oreo? Or root now and make the update a little more difficult in 3-4 weeks. Either way I'm half tempted to take the plunge myself now too!

I would wait for Oreo to come to v30 and g6 before getting excited. Who knows, their Oreo update suppose to come in March and still hasn't.
As for rooting, im still hesitant to pull the trigger. I still need to find out if my LTE on freedom mobile is going to be affected even after restoring the basebands.

Freedom/wind functioning just fine according to this thread.
As for the V30; Oreo beta release is already out to the entire country of South Korea for the V30, for a few weeks. A small select few of American users have already received this beta as well.
G6; China has already been testing 8.0.
Seeing as 8.1 is already released, it's highly presumed by a many sources that LG will likely skip 8.0 altogether and push 8.1 to our devices. 8.0 merely serves as a means to identify larger incompatibilitys/bugs.
i just rooted my h915 with this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-v20-using-dirtysanta-t3722278
it is much simpler process compared to the older dirtyelf method. The thread op was very helpful in getting through it.

Thank you so much for this input brother. I'm strongly considering this now. How is your cell signal/LATE speeds? FM radio functioning correctly as well? Any odd vibrations upon bootup?

hmm it turns out i can't connect to freedom mobile. Im working with the op to resolve the issue. I will update when i can get my signal working along with root.
update 1: so I was told to use lgup to install the us99610f kdz and factory reset and now I have signal again. Now I am gonna use the same process of the guide i used again to root the now converted device.
update 2: i have gone thru the guide again and have achieved root + freedom mobile signal on my phone.
update3: I have installed weta rom and it is working all fine with signal.
the op of that thread @dksoni411 will be including a separate guide for h915 users in that thread since it has additional steps to follow. In the meantime, i can help you if you want to get root on the h915.

i made this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comm..._v20_canadian_update/?st=jeh88vej&sh=d1dca001.
keep in mind i asked for info on the h915 since its been stuck on may security patch.
Lge security product is suppose to be the best accurate info compared to the customer rep of lg social media accounts.

Did you try installing the 915 baseband.zip from post #6 for your inability to connect to freedom?

no i used patched lgup to flash us99610f kdz to get working signal and then did the whole guide again to get a working signal rooted h915 phone. Afterwards no need to do any baseband installing as the signal is strong as how it was on normal h915.
Wifi calling working on freedom after root?
