i think that official update will be available JUST for the 2017 model, not for the 2016.
i recommend to change your phone model because the development in this particular model is so hard because the chipset (Mediatek).
i looking for other models because of it
Thats is a load of good thanks LG

But surely the 2016 models should handle nougat perfectly because its dual core 1.30Ghz and it has 1.5Gb of ram

sure, i have no doubt of it, but there is something called MARKETING. to LG it's not convenient roll out the nougat update for the 2016 model. They prefer sell us a new phone, with ALMOST the same features/specifications but with a new software and more expensive.
Thats what you call lg being lazy

LG really is lazy and cant be bothered to release nougat for all K8 users but in about a years time someone is going to release lineage OS for the phone if all developers is reading this please release lineage OS for this phone please!

Okay thanks for that
Now nougat is coming on the phone
I have just read up on the gsmarena it comes with 6.0 marshmallow and it is upgradable to 7.0 nougat so it has arrived finally
For Verizon variant, yes. That variant came with 6.0.1 initially, ours is 6.0. I don't believe global or any other variant will receive Nougat. Let's hope I'm wrong Well, maybe someone can port Verizon variant, but I'm not sure if basebands will work.

Verzion and AT & T (LG Phoenix 2) got nougat, they get it because of verzion and at&t, also I think they have Qualcomm chipsets..

Then porting is also next to impossible, different chipsets even though this device lacks space, it's a great device, too bad there are no custom roms for it...
Was really hoping for Nougat on the 2016 version, it's really not fair to abandon OS of a phone that's been out for a year.

I got update on my K8 like month ago but it wasn't anything major, it was some bugs fix and/or performance enhancement. So my guess is that they still care about the device? I'm not honestly sure. Will see.

My K10 is rooted and I just try to update last week, update its Android security patch level unfortunately it goes to bootloop then tried to reroot it using the latest update hahahah no luck the supersu package didn't install. Meaning you can root only your phone if you have the previous patch level ex: 2016 Android patch. Probably this new Nougat would be pain in ass also hahahha (referring to root)

You got bootloop because you tried to update rooted phonr via OTA, that's not going to work. Root and OTA updates doesn't go together.

Is anyone working on an Android O ROM for the LG G4? - preferably supporting H811
the last thing you lost is the hope
Maybe sometime oreo packages will include a G4. But the other way around might take a little bit more time.
I think we will have a useable build of custom oreo before we receive the official stock nougat.
I see LinageOS ver 15 images popping up for other phones, so hoping we'll see something soon.
I doubt LG would make an official Oreo ROM for it, but it looks like Lineage OS 15 (Android O) is being worked on for bootloader unlocked devices (H815, H811).
Of course Android O with Project Treble is a massive change, so it could take time.
I am also waiting for Oreo. ?
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
When Oreo comes I will grab it as well. [emoji4]
Mods, please close this thread. It has NOTHING constructive to offer. It is just a circlejerk of people crying for something that will never oficially happen.
Well not specifically O but I just don't understand why they released V30 with 7.1.2 out of the box and couldn't do the same for us, instead 7.0 only. Makes no sense as it's not even out yet and V30 has been in development for months...

1. Oreo is only just out
2. It will never, ever come in any official capacity from LG
3. There may or may not be a Lineage build for it, we'll have to wait and see.
To everyone still here, @kessaras has done an amazing job with AOSCP oreo on the G4. So search it, it supports H815 and H811

Lol you weren't wrong
Hi sorry if this has been asked before but new to the Moto g5 I purchased the device from Argos so it has the retgb software channel I have looked on Moto website and it doesn't give exact information about software update for UK g5 so I'm asking is there anything at all for the UK g5 there is no update what so ever stuck on 7.0 1st January patch
I've got the G5 3GB Dual Sim version from Amazon UK, also retgb, i'm on the same patch as you. Jan 2017.
Looking on the Motorola forum's, it seems our retail devices haven't been updated at all.
If there is no update when you select it from the about phone section then there is no update
Updates roll out in waves & is based on
Phone variant
Region
Retail or branded/carrier
Security update is available for some variants in certain regions
When will you get an update? No one at xda (or even Motorola support) would be able to tell you so no point in asking
Other than security patches there's no other improvements

They didn't ask when an update will come out, they asked if anyone had received an update on that channel. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable query to me.
Hi, I just got my g8 from a swappa seller a couple days ago, LM-G820QM which I gather is the unlocked version (after calling lg to verify the imei is what it was advertised as and not just a random carrier unlocked phone). I saw on some threads here that people have up to sept/october updates on their carrier locked phones. Im curious as to what security patch your phones are on and what version the phone is. Im a bit surprised that I am still stuck on the april update with being carrier unlocked
Probably your G8 is the Amazon unlocked version which is the worst in updates
Mine is T-mobile version and I just received October security patch

I checked all system packages and apps and no traces of any amazon apps so I am a bit skeptical that I would have that version considering amazon makes their apps part of the system package. I figured having an unlocked non carrier version would be faster with updates than carriers but apparently not, no idea what lg is doing here :/

I can't find any LG firmware website that actually has any firmware for the LG G8 LMQ710ULM (amazon) model. If you know of a place that has it please let me know.
FYI I'm still on April 2019 security patch...the update situation is just retarded on this phone
I'm also on APRIL 1, 2019 security update. Unlocked US version purchased at Best Buy. It appears only the carrier versions of this phone have received any updates.
I ended up returning the phone because of this issue. Its really mind boggling how carrier phones get updates but unlocked does not and especially from a 'big name' company like LG.. Maybe things have changed since I last modded phones a few years ago (just before a/b updates became a thing) but I thought the manufacturer had to make an update(which unlocked can use and get directly), then pushes it to carriers to add their bloa-.. apps* and then it goes to carrier phones. This was the reason why we had issues and delays with carrier updates in the first place. Regardless I wish you guys luck with future updates if they ever decide to push.
Just to also clarify on a previous comment, I have checked all g8 thinq models that end in QM (the unlocked versions) on their support page and the only firmware listed is april. Even connecting lg bridge does nothing with updates since nothing has actually been released by lg . _.

The Amazon G8 is the LM-G820QM, not the LMQ710ULM (not even a G8, or any of the G series model number), all G8's are LM-G820 with the specific variant added to the end (TM for T-Mobile, etc) the LMQ710ULM is the LG Stylo 4. If you're looking for firmware for that phone you might want to try looking in the right forum

Android 10 Is HERE, LG G8 820QM Amazon Version
Android 10 is here! Yesterday 24/02/2020 Amazon has released the Android 10 Stable update for the LG G8 820QM, there are stability improvements, camera improvements and overall device fluency!
^ android 10 also breaks themes, adds a hideous unremovable "frequent apps" dock on recent apps screen, broke some nova actions, etc.
I recommend everyone having trouble with updates to go to the LG website and download "LG Bridge". install usb drivers plug it in and go to software update and see if it finds anything. I literally searched for android 10 update via FOTA 2 minutes before trying on LG Bridge and it found nothing, LG Bridge hooked me up in about 3 minutes, running android 10 now.
Unfortunately here 28.02.2020 still no update via OTA or LG Bridge.
But I use my LM-G820QM in Germany! According to LG Support, I don't get any updates or support here!
I have no idea how to do the update!
Best regards Uli from Sachsen / Germany

If you have the a505f model you can try the indian firmware (google this :A505FDDU4BTC4) but i advise you to wait for your region's firmware since it may be impossible to go back to Android 9 after the upgrade.
Here's the link F India firmware
https://sourceforge.net/projects/samsungfw/files/SM-A505F/INS/A505FDDU4BTC4/
I flashed the INS firmware, no issues so far. Camera is still crappy, and the fingerprint sensor is still the same.

Technically speaking, the first package was the Update and the second is a Security update.
I'm a little rusty on my Samsung naming convention, but I just went through my old files from my Note 8 days and it was consistent.
U for version update, S for security update.
Also the 4th letter from the end is another indicator of the version. A = OS at release, B = 1st version upgrade, C = second and so on.
So I have a feeling this new file is still Android 9, and is just a security update.
A505FDDU4BTC4 indicates Android 10 version upgrade.
A505FDDS4ATB6 indicates Security update for release OS version.

It's a shame and completely unacceptable that an Android 10 build released in 2020 doesn't have full camera2api support. It's something that was introduced with stock Android Lollipop 5.0!
Why is camera2api not working. Is there any telegram group of devs where I can request for the same?
Well I'm not getting the update... From India
