So what is the new installed version?
Just came home and checked, PC companion states that it's 3.0.1.A.0.146
Haven't updated yet though.
Wonder if we all going to get it then
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Seeing I have some important data that I don't want erased ( and I'm too lazy to back it up ), I'll pass on this update until other users report exactly what's in it.
And as for you who got .146, another user already uploaded rooted img, be sure to thank him.

It's now available in the oppo forums to manually flash. An OTA won't arrive until next month, but we can update now

Are we able to flash the file through twrp? Or do we have to wait for someone to strip it down?
Will wait for a debloated rooted zip to come out

Ill try it later on tonight if no one beats me to it.
Has anyone been able to root this thing? Their old zip doesn't work on this one.
can't have root permanent... everytime i need root i must start SUPERSU and ask for update.. then without reboot i can use the app in with root priviledges!
i hope someone come out with a solution!!!

From the oppo forums, it seems like it's perfectly okay to flash it from TWRP, but the Rom will overwrite the recovery with the stock one

You might have to install it as a system app, but it might work seeing as how both run ColorOS
What about theX9007 platform?
This is great news about a new, stable release, but everything says it is for the X9006 only. Myself and others have the X9007. I use my X9007 in Europe and the USA... and have no intention of using LTE in China. If I flash this, will I essentially have the X9006?
I am currently running the last X9006 beta that was OK to flash on the X9007. All my cell networks are working fine, including LTE. If I do this, will I need to perform a special modem flash for baseband... or only if I want a "Chinese" phone? Everything I have always heard is that both phones are exactly the same hardware.

The Color OS released is International Version 2.0.0i. Is should work fine on X9007 too.
So i been having so many bugs and bad battery life…So i heard there was a stability update released , i heard some people received it but i was one of them that has not.
If you contact T-Mobile through facebook and ask for them to push the ota over they will do it without a problem! im just waiting to receive it now..should take within 24hours. Just thought this could be useful for some of you guys.
Use the LG mobile update program from their website.

Tried it but says im on the latest. Im on build H81110d.
I saw some mentions of people installed the beta/preview version. I came across this article that states it is the final version:

Has anyone tried installing this?

Yes but I mean if I do not lose my files when updating, like my photos or applications I hope and you answer me fast because I am about to update
I didn't lose any files.
Heads up that payment apps do not currently work with this update. Android Pay says this is not an official rom, and LG Pay requires and update for android 10 that doesn't exist yet. I suspect because although it might be official firmware, it hasn't officially been released yet.
Hmmm thinking of pulling the trigger on this. Wondering if they made improvements in the camera app? Also wondering if there is a battery drain. A lot of updates from several different phone manufacturer's are reporting battery drain after updating to Android 10.
Yes

I notice the battery exactly the same, the camera improved and added new modes, but mainly the interface and fluidity of the Android 10 device improved much more than with Android 9
I took a gamble and decided to install it. Maaananaannnnn am I love this update. What a refinement! Feels like a new phone so much more polished that 9 was on the g8. Also loving the system wide dark made aka night mode. Everything is so buttery smooth
Meanwhile T-Mobile won't say anything on when they will push the update out for their variant. :crying:
With the security lock screen are the numbers suppose to be so small

... First off this one had bloatware too, u still had too disable it. You want to stay on a not as optimized firmware and not receive otas?
I got a notification that a software update was available. However I didn't realize that Samsung requires the update be done via WiFi. This isn't a problem for most ppl but I stay at a VA facility which is currently in lock down, so I can't go home and use my WiFi and there's no WiFi here for us to use.
My ? is can this be side-loaded? If so can someone point me in the right direction.
I don't want to hack into someone else's WiFi hot spot because I couldn't be sure how stable it would be.
Thnx in advance.
Use Odin. Download firmware from www.samfw.com
Try from a hotspot made on another family/friend phone.

This looks very promising. I'll need to find out specifically what it's all about.
