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.

I received Honor 7x a few days ago, it came in version L21C432B102 and since then has not had any more updates.
Using the Firmware Finder I have seen that your latest version is B123.
So far no OTA update has come for me, anyone else with this problem? Do you have a solution?
Sorry for my bad English

I had L21C432B101 and managed to upgrade to B102 using firmware finder, but no other update will install that is a b102 to b1xx firmware. I'm in the UK and bought the 7x direct from the Honor UK website.
Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk
For the L21C432 you can jump right into the Oreo beta if you want, using https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/manual-update-to-oreo-beta-emui-8-bnd-t3767044
Note the factory reset doesn't seem to be actually necessary.
I have the firmware BND-L21C432B102 too. I tried to install the next update which was approved for installation. This is BND-L21C432B130
It´s not possible to install the update.
I asked the honor support for updates. the said, that the next update for my phone is L21C432B124CUSTC432D002
The update will arrive in the next 90 days.

I don't know, but update version for L21 is so very very slowy, i read from other thread in Indian version on Oreo they have a face unlock (L24 or L10 i forgot), but in L21 they haven't. LOL
So i did a request on the Honor Support.
WTF. They replied 1h later! WOW.. Perfect.
So the Andorid Oreo 8.0 Update was launched for Europe (Germany and Austria) 26.05.2018.
But it could take 8 weeks for reaching every device. So i have to wait.
And if no update is coming i have to request again..
Title says it all. I get that the Chinese models seem to have priority for updates, but I haven't seen anything regarding the US model of the 7X. Anyone have any info on it?

Nothing new for European and American models, seems like Emui 9.1 is out for Chinese version tho. If what Honor said months ago stands true, we need to wait until June for a beta
the middle-east region (L21-c185) also got emui 9.1 on 4-22

How would we be able to sign up to that beta? I signed up to the Oreo beta last year but I never got it, I'm feeling a bit doubtful about how the beta is gonna be handled this time around.

Yes, keep it updated to the latest version. There will be an announcement of some sort, I expect quite a few regions to receive it, last time I was able to get into the beta program since my country was one of the few
I found 9.1 update for BND L24 on Firmware finder app. However it is not approved yet for install. So we can expect an update soon. Hopefully it comes before the Google restrictions on Huawei devices.

Do not trust the FF app right now. It has been showing an update to all models for emui 9.1 , but it does not show specific model number. And it is intended only for a pie to pie update. (beta update to full) and it has made a brick for everyone who jumped and installed it
Update name is shown like this
BND-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.117

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

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!

So is one plus just not going to release full versions of OxygenOS for AA model? Basically no way to update to 11.2.4.4 on Global model as far as I know...
yeah man I know I'm still on 11.2.2.2 waiting on a full update because I'm rooted.
Global always seems to take longer for it's updates
I got the update on Global a couple days ago for what it is worth.
Really where are you located? Carrier?

What do you mean "release"? On their download page? They always take ages to put build on there (if they even do).
If you want a full release then install Oxygen Updater and set it to your regional OP9P then set full update, you'll usually end up getting it downloaded quicker than OTA

I do. The latest full update Oxygen Updater is showing is 11.2.2.2. I have 11.2.3.3 (because I rooted after installing that OTA) and I HAVE the 11.2.4.4 OTA already, but I can't install it for obvious reasons. Hence the original question. There's no way to update a rooted Global Variant without going back to stock.
I received it a few days ago. 2125 on TMobile..

Nope your right sorry. I was thinking about the tmo version. Carry on.
People need to stop saying they got the update for 11.2.3.3AA and 11.2.4.4AA. We are all talking about the Full OTA as many of us are currently rooted on 11.2.2.2. Those that are on 11.2.3.3 or 11.2.4.4 are either unrooted or are using the EU/In versions. I for one will wait until AA is available.

Exactly incremental OTA, I stated about the Full OTA. 11.2.3.3 and 11.2.4.4 are not out yet, and people have mentioned not being able to even install the incremental OTA. I for one haven't tried to unroot, take the incremental OTA and re-root. Payload dumper will not extract the boot.img from the incremental OTA therefore I can not re-root. Can I ask how you re-rooted without having the untouched boot.img to patch and boot?
