LG G6 H870DS TWN (Pie Update) - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I would like to confirm that my H870DS TWN version updated to Android 9 using LG Bridge and everything is work well.
I took quite a long time to boot up in the LG logo, but finally it did and after about 2 manual reboots it's working as it did in Android 8, even though the security patch is from May 2019. Hopefully it will receive an OTA update with updated security settings.

Thanks for the information. Many people suffer from lg bridge when I wanted to update it showed 2 updates available and I didnt want to update due to complaints . Most people told lg bridge formatted their phones and downgraded to nougat !! did you have the same problem?

No, I did not have the problem stated by other members that, I think, do have the G6 Korean and not Taiwan (TWN) version (the one I have).
In my LG Bridge, only 1 update was shown and everything went ok. I was afraid the phone was blocked during boot up, but it managed to start after 10-15 min with the LG logo in the screen. After that I already restarted twice and it booted up normally.

oh ok thanks for the information. I think the problem only occurs twn and other regions except korea

OMG, I've given up on the LGH870DS a long time ago and quite surprise that Pie is now available. Any idea if they had kindly allowed the phone to be boot unlocked to install any custom roms? (just hoping!)

H870DS20i_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_0719 is still Oreo

Thx, H870DS30a_00_OPEN_HK_DS_OP_0920 all good

After two tries with LG brigde I only got Android 7 of 8 but no Android 9. Also tried to flash with uppercut/LGUP but it stopped at 4% (used 3 different computers but no luck). If someone has a solution to flash the Android Pie to my H780DS TWN I would be glad to hear it.

If you do have H870DS TWN (Taiwan) and in LG Bridge you don't find the Pie update, you can download it from here:
https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/20901/H870DS30a_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_0920.kdz

I had downloaded the .kdz file but was not able to flash it. Uppercut fails at 4%. Is there an other way to flash the .kdz file? I don't mind if the phone is wiped.

Flashed successfully with LG UP 1.16 and LG UP DLL update:
LGUP_Lab_Frame_Ver_1_16_0_3.msi
LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_40_2.msi
H870DS30a_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_0920.kds
Last version of LG Bridge is installed on my computer and working but I'm unable to install Android 9 update... After the update, my phone is on Android 7 !?
So, I've tried with LG UP and common DLL... and it's OK.
Just launch LG UP, check "upgrade" and select downloaded kds firmware. :good:

Anyone knows why there isn't an OTA Update yet?

Android 6.0 is here for LG K10 (k420)

Today's morning all LG K10 K420 owners have received the notification no update to Android 6.0 version (V20a).
Now we have to check if KingRoot can root it!

Just tried and it dosent work. Now there are two options:
1.Use Kingoroot
2.Wait for exploit that works with Android 6.0
The second option seems to be more logical since the Marshmallow update was released 2 days ago.

Are you sure you have the K420n model? Maybe auto update is disabled.
yes, it's 100% K420n but with Play brand

I think Play will be the last carrier to release Android 6.0 for this phone. You have to wait. If you are rooted then dont update or else you risk bricking your phone.
if it is true, pleake post screenshot with marshmellow on k420n
Guys, I don't suggest you to root your device. Marshmallow has Android Boot verification. What's it? It checks the all partitions if anything changed from stock. If it sees somethings has changed, might block your device. I just warn you, be careful and know what you'll do.
Yes I'm with 'berkantlz'. Chainsfire has developed a new way to successfully root Android 6.0 by not modifying the /system partition, but this is only for certain devices.
If anyone want to update to Android 6.0.1 on LG K10, it's OK. But by now DON'T TRY TO ROOT IT.

I forgot to mention but Android 6 is only available (by now) por certain phone companies, not all, even if you bought the same model.
But you have available to download and install Android 6.0.1 KDZ file from (Orange = Spain and Plus = Poland) companies, that if is not the official LG firmware (without phone's companies bloatware), you could install the last android version for it phone model.
For links, visit the LG K10 WhatsApp Group.
When called in to lg netherlands cust support today to ask for the carrier-free update status they told me the guys in seoul still had to test some things before they flip the switch. So lets hope the korean todo list is not too long...

LG K10 (K420n)Poland Plus , yesterday received 6.0 (778mb ota) V20B
see screenshot
Play (Poland) have got the v20b too
K430TR Turkey model has got V20y yesterday. It's already shipped with 6.0 but yeah
I have a marshmallow for about a week and i can say something about that
The first is battery, it's working shorter (Screen-On-Time 3h 30m) but Doze mode is perfect
I have got themes option and SmartWorld (i know it was in LP already but my carrier turned it off) and many new functions.
Light sensor and VPN works better.
Now On Tap worked good too but it turned off and i don't know how to turn it on back.
What about performance? The same like in LP, but it seems to me that animations is bit longer than on LP (just longer animations, no lags). Antutu? LP - 28k pts, MM - 27k pts.
After update i had problem with refreshing available wi-fis list and bluetooth just turning off after trying to connect with a speaker but hard reset helped and i haven't this problems now.
On LP i had lags on opening notifications panel with the navbar button, on MM it works perfect.
When I poweroff the screen and poweron back, i had about 1-2% of battery less. MM - no problem with this.
Don't Disturb Mode is quite difficult to use but works fine.
If you have questions ask here.
@edit my friend with nonbrand K10 (Poland) said that his phone is getting charged faster
K10 lte k420n slovakia T-mobile update to MM ? When will be ?

Have you ever flash a different firmware trough LGUp? Anyway, falsh the update trough bridge and you're good to go, if there are problems with the software they will be solved.
It could also be a problem with unavailability of the update trough OTA, it happens

Just check LG Bridge for updates, if there is one install it from there and you'll be on your original firmware and receive otas =)
few days ago, here was a topic regarding "fake" LG Bridge update, Bridge says that there is one update, but in reality there is nothing, so maybe you have same problem ( I have it too)
It's not fake.before i installed 3 update white lg bridge
And always i check ota before installing but nothing

This sounds like a carrier issue. OTA updates do not come directly from LG.

Maybe, but chances are you'll convert your phone into a small Wi-fi only tablet. That's if it doesn't bootloop.
Not sure about LG, but I know for a fact on some HTC phones, flashing DS radio firmware on SS phones disables all GSM radio functionality.
hi, i have a G6 H870 chilean version, without branding, can i install the UE Firmware? and the other question, is if i won't lose my warranty?

I just did the same last night. I'll let it "settle in" for a day or 2 to see the results.
So far a little lag (in opening apps) compared to Nougat, but stable. Battery drain seems slightly improved but I'll report back later.
If the lag doesn't go away I'll go back to Nougat

maybe I see more difference because I came from the Israeli version. Also I did a clean install

I also came from that version
I didn't do a factory reset. because I figure that once I reinstall everything (and I actually use all the apps) I'll be in the same situation.
The slight delay in apps opening is slightly annoying. I suppose I can get used to that, but I prefer a snappy device even if I don't have immersive mode or context menus on the icons...maybe I'll roll back to Nougat
So after a few days, a few observations:
1. The lag seems to have decreased with a few days of settling in. Still not exactly snappy, but less delay in opening apps.
2. There is a new setting in Oreo under apps-battery usage- a toggle for "background activity" . It is available for some apps but not all. It stops these apps from running processes in the background (not connected to "power saving exclusions"). This seems to have improved battery life a bit.
3. No crashes or freezing.

I got the Philippines variant for LG G6 which is an H870DS ESA and I flashed a Singapore H870DS SEA oreo firmware (.kdz) and got stuck on LG Logo after I complete the flashing
1. Opened Uppercut / Runned LGUP directly
2. Choose the H870DS kdz file
3. Choose "update"
4. Start the flashing and wait till it finish
5. Stuck at LG logo
On the firmware website I see there is now an "official" version of oreo for the Israeli device (dated 8-8-18)
Anybody try it?

LG G6 H870DSU HKG 20d OTA

Just downloaded and installed. The phone got finally ThinQ features and boot screen logo. Security level 1st August.
Same here on my H870DS SEA :good:
V20d-AUG-10-2018
Seems like the new LG Upgrade Center wants to make a good Job. We're still in August and get now August Security Patch.
My H870DS is now on v20D-twn-xx. If you have a Computer, download the Update over Bridge, because OTA was superslow (millions of Phones in the same Time)

The same here for my TWN H870DS (downloading started more than 8h hours ago), while LG Bridge says my phone is Updated (the inverse happened with the first Oreo update, OTA my phone was updated and had to use LG Bridge).
Guys I updated my phone as well. I can see bright camera mode but don't see AI camera. Is it same for everyone?
PS: OTA was very slow. Only 40% downloaded in about 8-9 hours. LG Bridge took 5-10 mins to download 2.8GB firmware.

Affirmative of the above that the LG Bridge software update "downgrades" the software version from Oreo to Nougat and brings back security patch for October 1st 2017...
It indicates that there are 2 available when you check but upon the completion of the first update, it wipes your phone clean.
Thank god, my G6 is a backup phone... version H870DS users take note. Don't use the LG Bridge to upgrade if your G6 is your primary device!

If you can connect it to LG Bridge, isn't there a link in the right bottom of the "Software Update" menu to "Recover from update error" (not that all names where translated from the Portuguese language of my LG Bridge).

Hi. Anyone able to put the PIE Camera apk on here for the LG G6. I updated it foolishly from the apkmirror site hoping to get the G7 camera and the Standard/Wide angles are reversed and not working properly. I should be able to install over this one like I did with the newer LG Camera Apk.

So now I can confirm that changing a region is also an option
Two days ago I have successfully flashed (using LGUP+UPPERCUT -> UPGRADE option) other region (HKG) on my LG G6+ (H870DSU).
The firmware was H870DSU30a_00_OPEN_HK_DS_OP_0920.kdz and all works right after the flash, but for better performance I did also hard reset.

Nice but not allways is going to work i flashed some time ago android 7 indian version on my hkg and was not working
just to share, a week ago got update on my G6 870 in Bulgaria on A1 (ex mtel) operator.
so I was really pleased with the stability of the phone, got it with Android 6.x, than different stable upgrades, now with 9 is a bit slow. Did wait for a week, and today did master reset to be sure it is not bulk giving the issue, it is not. It is the release. First time disappointed by LG, but still a supporter
good luck
