[Q] Verizon Galaxy S7 Nougat update.

Hi everybody.
Do anybody know when Verizon Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Nougat update and reason to delay?
I cannot make sense ever major provider(such as AT&T,Tmobile,Sprint) is updated but Not Verizon.
Thanks.
I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon didn't get the update until after the announcement/release of the S8.

Yep. It's really disappointing.
Why? Because f**k us, that's why!
Likely just an issue of them taking their sweet-assed time putting their bloatware applications into the firmware, and I'm sure they've been extra slow after the official 7.0 worldwide rollout started and was halted for a whole like 2-3 days after a couple of bugs surfaced.
I always get a new phone by the time Verizon gives me an update. I know someone that got nougat on his T-Mobile GS7 Edge and someone that got her GS7 update last night on Sprint.

I don't think it's related to Verizon bloat considering the turbo 2 is getting the update now. I'm really annoyed that one of the top selling, highest rated phones of the year is taking this long to update.

This! Get it together verizon, every other S7 is getting the update why aren't we? Kinda furstrating and makes me want to leave verizon or starting purchasing unlocked models so I can root them and get updates on a regular basis instead of waiting for Verizon to release an official.
Le Sigh
Verizon has always been one of the last (if not the last) to roll out updates.
From their support twitter:
"We understand how important this update is. We test them thoroughly before release. Please stay patient. http://vz.to/1P9lNh0 ^AM"

My wife just got her first smartphone and it was the Droid Moto Z Force and it already has Nougat on it. Jealous! That thing is monstrous in its size too. Bigger than my LG G3 was!
Stuck on buggy beta
It would be nice to receive the final update after being stuck on the beta for months, where every time my phone shuts off it resets all my settings and themes. But oh well, I guess Verizon just doesn't care about their customers all that much.

So I've got a link I'd like to share but I've never posted on here before so I need to post approximately 10 posts before I am able to post outside links. So I'm gonna go post on a couple things and once I'm able to I shall share the link with you guys.

That beta was unbearable. Constantly had issues with text messages on it for some reason. They would keep failing to send and I would miss messages from people as well. Very annoying.

LGH 870. Thread.

Hello friends the models of Tmobile, Sprint and Verizon have her thread.
First question.
Wben will be avaiable unlock boot loader in the web of LG ?
How root and twrp when is avaiable.....
Come on friends.

Nobody knows -- the good folks on XDA will undoubtedly be the first to crack the problem, but it's not trivial finding a new exploit. Patience is a virtue we all need to practice [emoji3]
No new exploit is needed for H870. Only patience until LG adds the device to the supported unlock devices. The aboot of H870 already contains the commands to unlock it, we only need official unlock.bin form LG.
From there it should be relatively easy to get twrp running.
Edit: also i think this thread belongs to "LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion"
Got one LG-H870 from Amazon (germany) any others European users?

I have the h870ds that I got from wonda mobile. I've noticed that scrolling in chrome is pretty laggy and stutters a bit. Anyone else having similar issues?

Nope, maybe on some sites with a lot of ads, but overall I'm pretty happy.

Not looking very bright the future of rooting our G6's, is it? :crying:

Actually it's probably the only model that with certainly obtai root in the near future thanks to the official bootloader unlock program, you have just to wait that lg adds the device to their list

True... Posted my comment here and then I learned EU model was the one with most chances... Thought I read a few days ago was the other way around but, you know, been quite new to the forum and to rooting phones and all I rellay gotta still get the hang of things.
Thanks again!
Will keep waiting

Not yet
I should have been aware of this when i was purchasing hoping they will sometime soon.
Unfortunately only the European G6 H870.

I recently bought an H870DS version (though the title was said to be H870). I should have done more digging as well. That said, I have spotted some other tutorials and videos here and there that range in promises. Some claim to guide someone through a process of rooting models sold in the US under T-Mobile and others claim to be able to do it on the H870DS.
As I am just beginning to make my iPhone transition to Android, I am cautious when venturing out of the Walled Garden -- especially since most Android devices have no Secure Enclave present to realistically protect certain permissions.
What I would like to know is if LG -- or XDA -- has a history of obtaining root on devices in a situation synonymous with the LG G6 H870 and H870DS. How likely is one to eventually be able to root the device and install custom ROMs or help with Android Development on the H870DS?

You go get a Nexus or Pixel device haha
heres hoping the Dual Sim version will get the bootloader unlock soon. I miss my Nexus6P and I got a good deal on the G6... i don't regret it, this slimmer and smaller phone is a bit easier to use.
Please ask LG développer to get unlock by their email available on their website.

I decided to return the H870DS and got a OnePlus 5 128GB instead. I love it. Great upgrade from an iPhone 6 16GB. Seems like they generally do well with Custom ROMs.
Were other LG phones (Korean versions) bootloader-unlockable after some time or is it that LG dont want unlocked phones in their country?

Thanks. I hope the same thing. I sold my g5 before due to the reason that the updates are late and root not possible by that time. hope this will not happen again on my G6

Don't worry. Updates will come but it is well known that LG is not the most speedy update friendly manufactor
Root is an other story, there has to be a developer who is capable and take the time for unlocking the bootloader. Maybe a Paypal contribution may help. Just like what happened with the V20 H990DS. Time will tell.

Thanks. I will stay with G6 for the mean time. I am not bored here compared to S8+
It may not have a good selfie camera but selfie using wide angle back camera is good.

I didn't get the Pie update. Anybody knows why?

Hey fellow A1 owners!
I have read that the Pie update started rolling out globally in December, but I did not get any updates since then. Any ideas why?
cuz you don't deserve it. earn some respect first.
or just read the forums about issues with pie.

Hi
I'm waiting for it too.
I know that after the first rolls out someone has had serius problems with the LTE data connection and that some bands was missing.
The idea is that Xiaomi has stopped the rollout again to solve this issue.

@op Do not worry about the pie about. It's the second time they have pulled it. They will release it in a couple of weeks( hoping). Next time please go through the forums once or twice as you can find lots of threads with same information
