Nice, I guess Poland has the Eu open model H815, so I think people from all over the world will get this update. (If they have H815.)
The same info in english:
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-announces-its-first-android-60-marshmallow-update
I'm form Poland so just have to wait to next week and yes in Poland we have the Eu open model of H815 so update will be for all......
Now we wait for xposed for 6.0
Hello all,
I have lg H815 and I am from Poland.
Do you know if i will lose my root after updating to 6.0?
Yes you will lose your root upgrading to 6.0
You also may have a tough time if you try updating via OTA
i'm curious to know why Poland seems to be the preferred country in Europe for rolling out big updates first, Samsung does the same
anyways, i suspected LG would start rolling out Marshmallow by October 18th cuz they usually release updates by then every month
I hope there are no wakelock in this buil.
Only 2h of SOT is terrible for me.
@mikedemoda
well, in Poland we have malcontents who think that they are doing from us beta testers
Same for Samsung devices, cause software is developed in Poland

I hope someone will dump system.img ASAP I'm rooted with Xposed, so no OTA for me. Also let's hope LG kept at least a bit more stock 6.0 looks and feel (I know it won't happen, but still).
i hope we get a quick solution regarding root
i cant live without it...

H815 is the international model, there are other varients of the H815 which are local ones i think, But H815 should be first to get it
great news but they could be even better:
1) give us unlocked bootloader (custom ROMs are way more important than official updates)
2) if no unlocked bootloader, then at least make the official UI more stock and with less bloatware (I don't need LG health or backup apps, if I ever do, I will make sure to download them from the play store..)
if 6.0 has the same LG UI as the current 5.1 version I will puke - its awful looking with ****ty icons and crammed settings/notifications

Exactly how I feel, G4 is my first LG and thank god (and every dev involved) for Xposed G4 Tweaksbox! If there would be a fine running CM ROM, it would be running on my G4

Actually, most of your custom ROMs would really suck without official updates and your custom ROM's dev would have a very, very hard time developing (Not to mention that half of the custom ROMs wouldn't even exist...). This is not a Nexus with everything available for the devs to work with. It's a device driven by a bunch of proprietary drivers updated with official firmware updates by the OEM (I'm so curious to see how the G4's camera will perform on AOSP/A or CM...). Reverse engineering these drivers, I can only imagine how time consuming and frustrating it must be. Now imagine you don't even have updated proprietary drivers to even begin with.
This is why official updates are at least as important as your custom ROM, if not more.
this year no UI photo leak?
Last year many G3 leak and offical promo before rolled out...
they promised official update by end of the year but there is no actual official update yet yeah there are two soak tests i installed both of the them i was waiting for fastboot flashable stock rom which is usually uploaded to file factory after release of official update i'm currently on cm 14.1 thanks to dev community for this mobile you guys worked really hard and one more question when official update arrives i want to flash it via fastboot from pc rather than downgrading to stock 6.0.1 and downloading OTA update. will this brick my device because there maybe a case in which they may have updated the bootloader again which can cause issues or even brick the device i don't want to risk
There is something called a "period". You should try it sometimes.

They did not "promise" that we would have the upgrade by the end of this year. They said Q1 of 2017 I thought which still runs another few months and that wasn't even an official release notes I thought. Yes grammar would be helpful.
Well

Although I've not tried the ROM listed above, I've successfully flashed the 93.11 OTA ROM in this linked guide by Techburner onto a UK retGB XT1642 (G4 Plus, dual SIM). https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-install-official-december-nougat-t3518262 . From what I remember, the ROM in this guide was captured from the most recent deployed OTA update by Motorola.
Bear in mind with this guide you need to be on the 139-63/64 Marshmallow firmware for flashing. I recall the ROM off cloud.mail.ru does not require any firmware checks and others appear to have success with the ROM, as always your mileage may vary.
There are reports coming out that the EU might get the official Nougat firmware this month, but we'll have to see exactly when: http://www.gsmarena.com/european_ro...ugat_update_set_for_this_month-news-22554.php
I thought the official nougat was released last month? I went to check for updates and it said none available. Still on 6.0
First of all check your Model & buldnr.
and second of all Trust me you dont want Nougat so many ppl want to rollback and arent able to. nougat is buggy as ****
I checked my model and build number. What do I do after that?
tell me the buildnr.
L.09CXXXBXX ?

Number one, It's easy to roll back (had to do it it because I flashed a test-keys build), number two, what's buggy about nougat? I've installed it on my L09C432 and have had no issues with it so far, if anything marshmallow was much buggier.

@OP
You could get the answer just by reading this forum. Everything is there.
But I get that it's a bit confusing, and it takes time to sort all the infos. So here's the main ideas.
Final release of nougat (Or EMUI 5.0) is expected this summer. This release will be pushed automatically on every mate 8. But not until a few more months.
Until then, there are betas. Those betas are pretty stable, but they are still only betas, test versions. There will be changes until final release, they do not work perfectly on every mate 8 out there, and more importantly they are not automatically pushed to every phone.
There are many variant of the mate 8. Your build number means that your have a model L09C636. And your software is on build 191. The build 191 is a stable and final release of EMUI 4.0, huawei's version of android 6.0.
Huawei regularly release new builds, but not for every variant. Build after 500 are EMUI 5.0, wich is android nougat. But also, every build after 500 is NOT final. Even if it's official (made by huawei) and stable, it's not definitive. And that's why huawei does not release every build for every model. At some point they will reach a release stable enough and release it for every variant, bu not for now.
So, can you get nougat ? Well, yes, but I wouldn't advise it.
There are many ways of installing one of the newer builds. If you really want to, there's even ways of changing your phone variant, since the difference between most variant is only software. But it's not really safe, or easy. For some, with the right model, it might not be that hard. But for others, the installation of the beta fails. The phone ends up not recognised as any model anymore, and is partially or totally unusable.
It's really not a good idea to start messing with your phone system if you do not know what a custom recovery, fastboot, or adb is. And if you are familiar with those, then you should know that there is always a chance that you will end up having to spend hours trying to understand incomplete guides to resurect your phone after something did not work as another guide said it would. Plus, nougat and emui 5.0 are not that different. The update does not radically change anything, it's really not worth taking any chance just to get it a few month early.
@EGOiST1991
I'm on C432, had teskey for a while.
I think what I did was
Fastboot -> flash TWRP 3.0.3..0
format data, then erase everything. don't reboot (since you just erased TWRP as well, you won't have it anymore after next reboot.)
Install kangvip ROM (don't ask me why, it's the only one I could get to boot. And it gave me build number C432B560, even though the rom in itself was buggy as hell.)
Then I used Dload method to flash the official C432B560
The phone would not boot, but I still gave it 10 or 15 minutes.
I booted to recovery again, did a factory reset. And now it works.

I used the files from this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-downgrade-beta-b521-to-b170-t3546264 but there are rollback files for almost all models i think. Tutorial would be the same on all models though, all you really need is the rollback file and a full rom of the previous version you'd like to downgrade to. PS! I rolled back from b560 test-keys, not b521 and it worked flawlessly.

Final release of nougat is out for alot of models, china's had it for months, NXT-L29C432 and L09C432 has started getting it via OTA for some time now, and im sure other models also already got the final version, so saying every release before summer is beta is wrong.

I'd wait...after watching the threads, it's still got a couple bugs...bluetooth and what not.
But, if you really want to, check this thread>> https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/update-to-nougat-easiest-playstore-app-t3554957
Lot's of people have been successful using it. I can download it, but it's not the "full" update for my version of the Mate8, so it won't
update. Since, if you believe Huawei, the "official" version is due out sometime between now and the end of March...I can wait.

You might be right. It seems b560 is considered final version ( At least for the c432) and is being pushed to non-beta users. I though it was still beta.
All the more reason for OP to NOT try to force the update manually ! Just wait, it's comming in the next few months.

I am in the UK with NXT - L29C636B193
Dual SIM 4gb
I am still on June secuirity patch.
Are there any later style releases for my device?
I thought that stable official nougat was already released and I thought Huawei just didn't push an OTA to models not in China.
Also can I update to nougat stable versions using firmware finder? In screenshot below. Without losing warranty or using root as I want to keep Android Pay intact.
Thanks
C185B200 and when i see updated for 7.0? ;/
Will I have to wait for a developer to build an oreo room and get the bugs ironed out? (No, I cannot build it myself) or is there any chance that there will be an easy way to upgrade to oreo and keep root access intact?
It will take a Dev to port it. Taking the upgrade, if available, will erase root and custom recovery.
That said, a Dev can take the system.img and other partitions and and edit them to port it to this phone.
When I had a note 4 there were ports to the note 5, S6, S7 and note 7, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat . There may even be one now for the S8.
Don't hold your breath.
Bottom line: You need to be rooted and someone needs to build a custom rom based on Oreo.
V20 is expected to get Oreo in the first quarter of 2018:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/7gckad/the_g5_is_apparently_getting_oreo_before_the_v20/
Hopefully some devs will be around to root it, or provide a path from rooted machines to update without losing root.
