If you goto about phone and select check for update and it says your device is fully updated then there is no update
Updates are rolled out in phases based on phone variant, region, network branded or retail
Members of xda do not know when an update is coming so its pointless in asking
If its not available when you press check for updates then assume its not available yet
And please stop creating threads about updates - theres one already in the general section - we do not need loads of threads about updates

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

If you want updates custom ROMs best no one knows when Moto will release source or it gets leaked

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.
Hello all,
Have an unlocked rooted Moto G5 Plus here on T-Mobile currently running stock NPN25.137-33 (Nougat 7.0 - January 1, 2018 security patch) and I just received this update notification for a VoLTE fix named NPN25.137-35. It's relatively small (~48mb) , here's hoping one of the more experienced devs can incorporate this into their Nougat ROM's moving forward and also hopefully make a TWRP flashable zip for those of us who just want to upgrade their stock rooted roms.
Cheers!

My system info (pre-patch, of course):
If I flash this I will get my IMEI back or no? I didn't understand sir????
A little confused by this as well, your screenshot is showing January 2017 security patch and your ota is an old one. Are you just now getting this update through TMobile? Glad I bought the unlocked version if that's the case

Just wanted to contribute in case this OTA wasn't already out there (couldn't find it in my searches). I know that the current stock ROM version is 93-4 with the March security patch being pushed out to some regions...wanted to share the patch in case it wasn't pushed to other carrier versions so that it could help add robustness to existing Nougat ROMS, especially for VoLTE TMO users.
Wait.. this is a very old update.. the newer updates have NPNS instead of NPN
Edit: just read your comment, ignore this

The only information available is what Motorola make public
That is this device will get oreo
No time line or anything other than the Motorola announcement that this device will get oreo is available
Dates for otas are never made available as they always change
No one at xda will be able to give you anymore information
Ok thanks for your answer

I'm a bit confused. Why does Motorola push OPP28.85-13 as an official update when newer version (OPP28.85-16) already exists? I've even heard about OPQ28.85-13 build somewhere on xda - that build should be the latest one right now.
Opp28.85-13 Oreo 8.1 arrived in Portugal. Device from amazon market.
Got OPP28.85-13 on my phone (Slovakia - reteu soft. channel, unlocked BL) today. However, I am scared of getting hardbrick using OTA, because my bootloader has been already updated to Oreo version (B8.31) by flashing another official Oreo releases (you can find them here, on xda).
In my case, is it safe to do the OTA update or should I rather wait for full fastboot image of OPP28.85-13?
EDIT: Full fastboot firmware (OPP28.85-13) download link: https://rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.co...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip (approx. 1.4GB). File is geo-locked, German VPN is neccessary. I might recommend this free VPN add-on for Chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hotspot-shield-vpn-free-p/nlbejmccbhkncgokjcmghpfloaajcffj.
I just found the ota update for NPPS25.137-93-14 build number https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ev...XAIiIQkY6EXDVg
just place the zip into the root directory, then go to moto update and enable storage permission finally go to check updates and just install
thats all

It won't in any official state and has had 2 major updates since it's release in February 2017 like the A3 and A5 2017. It, like the other devices, is not eligible as it has gone through it's update cycle as per Samsung update policy.
Never.

As @moozer mentioned it already (but I have to add something) only the international A7 2017 devices (SM-A720F) won't get official pie as it passed the 2 major update schedule. There is still hope at least for the korean variant (SM-A720S). Samsung shipped SM-A720F with Marshmallow to our markets but SM-A720S were shipped with Nougat out-of-the-box in korea, that means SM-A720S only got 1 major update and maybe get a second one with android pie.
You can easly identify or compare it in the firmware releases:
A - android version out-of-the-box
B - 1st major update
C - 2nd major update
for example:
SM-A720F:
A720FXXU2AQG5 - Marshmallow
A720FXXU3BRB8 - Nougat
A720FXXU4CRG2 - Oreo
SM-A720S:
A720SKSU2ARB1 - Nougat
A720SKSU3BRK1 - Oreo
A720SKSU4CXXXX - Pie ??

So if they release pie for the 720s, then how much more work would need to be done for the 720f? If they build pie for one, they might as well build it for the other as they are similar.
Seems I read somewhere about sm-a720? getting pie, but don't quote me on it. It would make sense according to your post.

yes you're right both variants are very similar and it won't take much time for samsung to build pie for A720F too but this doesn't change the fact about A720F's major updates. We all know samsungs marketing: 2 major updates then security patches only.
I remember a scenario which really happened to S5 Neo. Samsung released in 2015 the Galaxy S5 Neo as SM-G903F, SM-G903M and SM-G903W. All were shipped with Lollipop 5.1.1. Also all got a major update to Marshmallow. However, when samsung started to release Nougat only the SM-G903W (Canadian) variant got it while the international varaints never got an official update to Nougat. And I can imagine a similar scenario might happen to A7 2017: SM-A720S will get Pie while SM-A720F won't.
It won't, because Samsung Screwed us all out of an update by releasing the phone on Marshmallow, when Nougat was long since available.
Well Samsung politics is under the moto "buy new phone"
Fook that

Ignore it, it's not by Samsung. Probably some A7 2017 user with Lineage 16 or any other AOSP pie rom did run this geekbench test
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 :/

Hello! I see a ton of us firmwares out there. Did you try searching for your specific model and flash it with LG-UP? It takes 1-2 minutes to flash it...

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

LM-G820QM is also the non-Amazon version of the G8. Oddly enough Amazon G8 users are reporting updates, but I still don't have an updated for the non-Amazon LM-G820QM.
Finally got a security update! Wow, took long enough!
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
