Hello dear G3 owners, sorry if this is a repost
i have an LG G3 D850, living outside of the States, and i want to get the OTA Update, or simply install the MM, in the website they said, i do need the ATT Simcard, as far as i know the ATT is a line provider which will cost a whole new phone just to get one, my question is this, does an ATT sim card bought on Some online store, an Activated one can do or there is no chance to get the OTA or whatever method to update,
i have tried several Roms , but always had issues, from battery draining to some nonfunctional phone
i guess then there is no solution

now that change things!!
I don't know how things work in that matter but giving the case that i am using straight talk on at&t towers!! Not directly at&t u know! I remember updating phones without any sim card!
Try to change time & time zone put that manually so that u telling u located in the states instead! U can do that going to settings> date and time and change them manually and restart the phone after changing it before heading to update this is just in case. Try that!

i have already tried that i even used an US VPN to see if it is my provider that blocks things, i removed the simcard tried all of that but no chance, on forums they said the only way is to have an AT&T simcard working
what is that Straight talk ? is it an option or something, i tried to get an AT&T Simcard from a friend in US, and he said that this provider only gives a line on contract which will be more expensive than the phone

straight talk is prepaid service in the state, a mvno from tracfone that uses the 4 big networks att/tmobile/verizon/sprint to offer service/carrier u like most. It is really affordable!
I guess the left option is the sim card, well try that without ripping off ur wallet bro keep us posted!

yeah i hag samsungs , xperia and nexus also updated them with no problem but this D850 is blocked by AT&T as far as i know
did you try to update via LG suite?
AT&T simcard is required (gophone, and active)
Adding my 2 cents.
Based on my experience, you need an AT&T simcard, and must be active. The simcard can be postpaid or gophone (prepaid). The very first D850 update (the Lollipop update, software versionD85020f) can be pushed down without having your IMEI number associated with the simcard. Any subsequent updates will require your LG G3 in AT&T database. That means, when you activate the simcard, you need to input your LG G3 imei number. Otherwise update versions D85021r, d85021q won't work. I've tried it with 4 different AT&T GoPhone simcards. Update can be pushed down via wifi only.
AT&T LG G3 can't update via LG suite. I seem to recall tmobile's can (D851).
Visit https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KB425811 for more info on different versions available.
Good luck.
Woke up this morning to find a pending update on my VS996. After the installation, I noticed the V30 ThinQ splash screen. I now have software version VS99620b with the AI camera. Gotta love the fast updates on this phone. Btw - I'm located in North Carolina.

Uh, it's not fast updates. Verizon is just catching up with LG's "complete" Oreo for V30. For some reason Verizon first gave their customers Oreo with ThinQ stripped out, then changed their minds.
Everyone else who already has Oreo got the ThinQ IN the Oreo update. Verizon for some strange reason did it in two parts. Oreo, then Thin Q -- instead of all-in-one. AT&T, Sprint, Europe, Canada, regional carriers (AS998) all have had Oreo WITH ThinQ as ONE update.
Seems Verizon was going to shaft their customers, then decided to add the ThinQ thing after all.

Anyone happen to save this update file before they ran it?
I have the US998 V30+ which I cross flashed to VS99620a via KDZ. However the phone will not update OTA. It does not connect to Verizon Software assistant.
I should be able to update with LGUP, but I need the file.
Thanks.

I am on AT&T -- but I've never owned an AT&T phone.
That site is useful for some, but not others. For instance it still doesn't have the AT&T Oreo (I don't need it, as I have US998), and I don't think it has the Sprint Oreo either. Because no one snagged them and uploaded them to the site. It's a user-supplied repository for LG firmware and is not associated with LG corporation in any way. Basically it's for people like us.
Come on AT&T where is our Oreo update, you're last again !
The AT&T Oreo is here! Finally
Still waiiting here, checked ATT website no indication of the update there, is it a beta or a phased rollout?

Huh.. well then I guess I lucked out ?
I think you might be one of the lucky beta testers.
I got the update. Last week.
ATT site is live with the update, still nothing for me and software update check doesn't show anything.
What am I missing here?
Ok, I need advice....I'm in Japan for work I had to change to a local sim to get coverage, I don't have the ATT sim with me. How do I get the OTA update?
I believe that is the reason the update isn't materializing.
Anyone in the US get the update yet
Has anyone on AT&T in the US with an H871 received the Oreo update yet. I'm on the east coast and nothing here

Spoke with AT&T
I chatted with ATT today and they said it was an issue with them, that my phone should have gotten the update. I have to wait for 24 hours to see if it updates they will email me tomorrow to see if I got it, though I have to check it manually. I suggest anyone that didn't get the Oreo update to chat with att from the website and they will get it for you.
there is any chance to get one f...ing official kdz for the att&t? how is that possible that nobody can create or make a official kdz for the att&t

Some of you have already received the Oreo update ... or for some reason AT & T stopped the updates
A few days ago I bought a LG G6 H871 (AT & t) and I thought that I was going to get Oreo immediately and still nothing happens ... I have read several forums and some are updated but others are not.
So I never received the update after AT&T when they said they "pushed" it to my phone. Then today chatted them again for 30 mins they couldn't do a thing. A supervisor called me and spoke to me for 10 minutes asking for the build number the IEMI. His final response was that AT&T did not push the update just the base band version so the phone can receive the update from yep LG. He gave me LG'S 80 number spoke to them they said Google actually pushes the update not LG.. I said so why did you open this big deal update center then she didn't have an answer.What a joke. I'm still thinking of moving onto an iPhone as much as I hate saying that but the Android updates just don't cut it and with locked boot loaders what's the diff. AT&T said the update has been available for the G6 (H871) since June 5th... SO WHERE THE HELL IS IT, I give up

Since June 5 and nothing happens, incredible! I tried to use LG BRIDGE, but I received a notification '' Verification error '' so I do not even use LG BRIDGE to update it, it's for these reasons that phone companies and manufacturers lose prestige, I think that just like you will use IPHONE once again . less problems.
My Tab S4 updated last night to Android 10.. Texas, USA.
Update took a long time to download, more than 30 minutes.
After it completed, it was unable to see any wifi networks, but fixed itself with a reboot.
No Dex on Pc.
Haven't played with anything else yet.

I had another wifi outage today - tablet was connected and sitting on my desk, came back a few hours later and it didn't see any wifi networks. Turned wifi off and back on, and saw them again & reconnected.

I have a Verizon galaxy tab s4, SM-T837V, and I can't get an answer from Verizon. Yes it is available, but the next tech says it is not. Samsung says it is available if you want to use a computer to load it or send them my tablet so it can be flushed. 10 day turn around not to mention the cost. Last night Verizon technician was useless. As most are.

I have the AT&T version as well but I am not getting the update. I do not have a sim card in mine. Do you have an active sim card in yours?
Yes I do.
I currently have a G7 ULM which was the unlocked version for the US. I bout it from Google Fi, but this phone since it is not carrier specific will never be updated by LG. Still on Android 9.
Other versions of the G7 have received OTA updates.
So I wonder which version of the LG G8 I should buy in order to not get stuck (apparently they will update up to Android 11 for this model)
But I need a GSM unlocked G8 that I can update OTA using any carrier other than the one it is tied to.
Which one would you recommend for this and also for less bloatware etc?
I really like having the fingerprint sensor on the back and it seems that the LG G8 is the last iteration of phones from LG with this feature and it is an upgrade from the G7. (which is great in my opinion)
It is cheap here in the US too.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Just came across your post. I have an unlocked LG G8 that I purchased from Best Buy running on Verizon. I have had some OTA updates but, as you know, LG is slow with them. I am on Android 10 with the 4/1/21 security patch. They say that it's supposed to get Android 11; keeping my fingers crossed. I hope this helps a little.

thanks man! You are the only one who likes pink floyd apparently lol..
I have Tmobile and would need a version that works with tmobile.. not sure which one to get. The unlocked versions are harder to get updates because according to a rep from LG they need to test with many carriers before they release the OTA update. May or may not be true.
But thanks for your input !

Yep, I do like Pink Floyd. Amazon does have some lg g8’s both unlocked and locked to t-mobile. Most of them seem to be “renewed”, as they put it. T-mobile locked would be best as long as t-mobile keeps up on their updates. Hopefully lg will keep their promise to bring out Android 11 for these phones.
I hope that you’re able to find a good deal.
