Hey fellas,
Just bought lg g6 from saudi....model name is h870s.
I prefer android over ios just because of heavy customization that comes with it. Lg g6 development is a little disappointing though.
Many models lack any aftermarket support(f*** lg for this).
Almost sold my device but then came across this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/info-lg-g6-models-bands-t3571221
It lists 870s with 870 EU model.
So 870 roms,bootloder unlocker, recovery compatible with 870s or 870v, 870k for that matter(refrence for other guys out there).
Btw 870s comes with dual sim, 32gigs internal, no hifi dac.
Advance thanks for help.
I can't help but thanks for mentioning about the hifi dac, I was looking around for that.
Seems the G6+ is the way to go (Also sold in SA, it wasn't available when you purchased your G6)
What about system updates for H870S? Upgrades should arrive at the same time as for the version H870? I see both versions are International and both stuck at July security patch.
i have the same problem with my LG G6 H870s bought it from SA as well, so far I cant unlock the boot loader. although the G6 H870 is able to unlock the boot loader.

Curious, why are you going through the trouble of doing so in the first place?
Choose your option in poll below.
You could add a third option, "Don't give a damn".
Really all variants? My H870S didnt receive Oreo at all some others on 870DS and H870 EU still waiting for Oreo maybe a big change in LG politics give us android P i dont think we receive it...
Look at G4 G5 V10 V20 they only recieved only one major update and no minor updates other than security patches i think its very soon for talk about android P
Android 8.0 Oreo started rolling out on the LG V20 at the end of July. I own the international version of the phone, the LG V20 H990DS. When I check for an OS Update it says that there's no Update available.
Why is that? Am I the only owner of the H990DS version experiencing this? Could it have to do with the fact that I imported it because it's not being sold by retail in my country?
Thanks in advace.

Ok, thanks.
Do you or does anybody have an idea, when it's expected to be released for everyone?
(I know that there are other threads, but they are not really up-to-date with the most recent post on the topic I found being from March)
Thanks in advace.
Mid august or september was the mentioned dates in previouse posts.
I asked the LG online chat about the H990DS updates....
Here is the transcript from LG chat on the question:
Time of chat: 8/15/2018 3:01:28 PM
Length of chat: 00:07:16
Your name: Dax
Chatted with: Micel
3:01 PM Micel: Hello, Dax. Please allow me a moment while I review your question...
3:01 PM Micel: I will be more than happy to assist you with your concern.
3:02 PM Dax: Great
3:02 PM Micel: Yes, there is an update that will be rolled out to LG V20.
3:02 PM Micel: However, we do not have any specific time when the update will be rolled out.
3:03 PM Dax: Is this going to be a security update, or a version update?
3:03 PM Micel: It is a software version that will be for bugs and fixes.
3:03 PM Dax: So not Android 8.0, just an update to 7.0?
3:04 PM Micel: The update that will be rolled out is an Oreo version which is Android 8.0.
3:04 PM Dax: Great, really good to hear!
3:05 PM Micel: No worries.
3:05 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:06 PM Dax: So, although you dont have a specific time - are you able to at least say within a week, within a month, this year?
3:06 PM Micel: Sorry but I do not have any idea about the timeframe.
3:06 PM Dax: ok thanks.
3:06 PM Micel: I'm afraid that if I will give a timeframe, this is misinformation.
3:06 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:07 PM Dax: Is there any information on how much longer this device will be supported for?
3:07 PM Micel: No, there is none.
3:07 PM Dax: ok, thats all. Thanks for your time.
3:08 PM Micel: You're very much welcome. I hope this has been of some assistance Dax.
3:08 PM Micel: Thank you for visiting LG Australia New Zealand Live Chat Support. Have a wonderful day.
Is there any news? There will be update for any H990DS version? I have TWN, but i read that roms for other countries can be flashed.
From what I have seen on forums etc it looks like it'll start rolling out from Sept 7. But only LG knows really, and they aren't telling. I have the exact same model, and yes you can install different regions ROMs but I find they don't always work the same. I tried a different version and had better battery life/signal, but Google assistant didn't work well and I had volume issues so went back to the version my phone came with.
LG mobile must be the most transparent company when it comes to informing there user base of updates:good:

LG open-source website listed the kernel source code for H990 model... Which is identical to H990DS, H990N, H990N etc... Elsa model...
Earlier it was listed only for Korean F800 series..
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H990
So we should be able get oreo in September for sure...
Now it's up to LG what best features they would include in it... My only concern in this phone is the battery backup....
Let's hope so....
Jesus, they still haven't updated this phone?? Glad I sold it, 1st mobile to ship with Nougat and then an awful track record in updates. They need to get their act together. Nice audio quality, shame about after support
V20 H990ds oreo update
Hello Everyone
I have same version in india and still not getting the update of oreo. Lg needs to do something for customers for update the software frequent.
my wife h p10 lite has 8.0 plus updates now to august 18 .. my lofty is still on 7 and nov 17 ... is there a moral there somewhere ... ??
No updates for my H990DS since November 2017... My second phone is a Huawei P20 (not the Pro) since three months and I have already received THREE security updates and one to push the power for players. What a difference, Huawei is now number two in worldwide sales. But I love my LG too, great camera etc.!

VS995 got its oreo treatment yesterday
According to an article from androidpolice,
Verizon specific model of V20 (VS995) got its oreo yesterday.
Are we up next? or gotta wait in line behind
LS997 (t-mobile)
US996 (US cellular)
H990T (Mexico)?
Like many others here, V20 will be the last LG mobile device for me.
This will be my last Lg. It's sad, because it's a great device.
I have the USA version of the V20 on Verizon Wireless and got the Oreo update late last night.
It seems smoother ... but had to reset a lot of my custom Apps and settings ... I'm liking it!
F**king LG!
I have the Indian H990ds, and it's still on the security update from April 2017.
I wouldn't hold your breath, the H990DS isn't even on the list for the source code release for Oreo, if it shows up there I'm guessing it'll be at least a month before it starts rolling out.

Hello I have an LG G6 H871 AT&T Version upgrade to Android 10. Is there any way to upgrade to upgrade to Android 10. Assistance is greatly appreciated.
Simple answer, NO! But here's what I have to add:
If you are trying to say you want update to newer Android versions without unlocking your bloader, no! QCOM has stopped support for this old msm8996 chipset.
If you say you somehow have unlocked bloader please try to compile your ROM from LG sources.
I`d like to know if it`s possible to update LG V35 PLUS 128GB LMV350EAW to Android 10. This is the Brazilian version and would be great to update with the American ROM. I appreciate any help. Thank you! PS: if anyone knows where I can buy a SPIGEN LG V30 TOUGH ARMOR - GUNMETAL A25CS22000 I appreciate.
LG G7 Plus can crossflash to another model so I think the V35 should work too.
You can try cross flash to Korean market firmware, the V350N's, mine AT&T's is working under NAO firmware very well now, so I think you can do that, too.
The V350N is the only model has it's own Android Q kdz.
