Everybody is looking for a way.. Your best bet is research and waiting.. I'm looking at older methods and also the g6 method.

AFAIK, there's no roor exploit available for lg v20 oreo yet. You can try flashing alpha omega rom oreo. VS995 is one of their supported devices.

First you'll need to downgrade, root via dirty santa, then flash the patched oreo rom or alpha rom version

My understanding is that you'll have to downgrade to root, look for the dirty santa thread after you downgraded to root

I don't think the 995 has had arb incremented, you'll will have to downgrade to a version Dec 2016 security patch

LG V20 (VS995) Unlocked. Any way to update to Oreo?

As the title says, I was wondering if there's a way to update to Oreo on an unlocked phone. Or will I have to root it?
Currently using PagePlus as the carrier.
Thanks.

You could try pulling the sim and connect to wifi and try the update

I tried this and it said no updates available.
The VZW Utility Application has a security update available (I'm currently on Dec 2016.) I'm assuming this has nothing to do with an OS update?

Probably not, but if you can take that update it would be a good idea. If you don't get the Oreo ota you'll have to wait for a kdz or a stock zip.
