Hi there.
Im gonna buy the LG G2 soon (Its a prepaid device without a plan). I recently saw that it received an official 5.0.2 (Lollipop) update. The guy from the youtube video I saw had a Verizon LG G2. Is this new update for ALL LG G2 regardless of where it has been bought? It looked good and im looking forward to it.
Thnx in advance

The T-Mobile G2 is the HTC Hero. I think the MyTouch is the HTC Magic.
i thought tmbile wasnt getting the hero? i guess i was wrong...any news on release?
T-Mobile UK have the Hero - The G2 Touch - I have one. I don't know if T-Mobile US are getting it. Someone else may know.
I can't wait super excited for this phone, upgrading from a 6s plus

Apparently, it will have a locked bootloader. Beware

I just ordered mine. Jumping from a Galaxy S6.

In my opinion will be totally unlocked as always
We shall see about this. I have a brand new unopened nexus 5x in case the g5 comes with a locked bootloader.

I wont say 100% impossible but pretty close if u want a rootable G5 get the tmobile or the internat one. Cant think of the model number.....
Yeah but t mobile and intl variant has so many issue. Ive tried t mobile but in two days there is a burned screen already and the intl is the gps issue. Verizon variant is the good model for lg g5 i think. After a year using it there no issue at all. Thank you i hope 2018 will be the year for the lg g5 verizon root. I think im gonna wait im not losing hope

There will not be any root for this unless a bootloader unlock is found. Also u didnt get screen burn but image retention. Which mine get randomly real bad. Also gps does not work on mine. If you want root get a new device

I bought a Pixel 2 black at bestbuy an brought it back to the Netherlands where i live. I out in my t-mobile sim al works great. Accept i was woundering if i would get OTA updates? It has the securtity patch of September.
In the Verizon forum they say it makes no differance. But you buy a Pixel for the fast updates but it's 2 month behind

You won't get OTA updates, I was in the same boat as you. Verizon even says you need an active Verizon sim card installed to receive the updates on their Pixel 2 web page for update info. I have the Verizon Pixel 2 with a Vodafone sim card in the EU. The only way you'll get updates is to download the OTA file yourself (you can get it from Google) and use ADB. I'm up to date now and there were no issues doing it that way.

I know. Flashed the OTA file with ADB. No problems . As long as Google keeps posting the OTA files ?

Yeah, sorry, when I replied to this message I dind't realize you had posted the other one as well. I'm hoping they keep the OTA's online too. Fingers crossed!
Now that you are mentioning this. Maybe these Verizon stuff is the whole reason they started uploading OTAs first.

Hi guys - currently it's not possible to get the pixel 2 in Ireland. I am going to New York and was thinking of buying the device straight from the Verizon store. From everything i've heard, it will work fine in the EU, also i'll save a little on the exchange rate (it comes in at around €700).
The updates thing is a major downside though - it's a good few months now since the last post on this - just wondering if anybody has had trouble downloading the updates directly from google?

No trouble in downloading the OTA file and flashing it. (Pixel 2)
Thanks for coming back Erik. So, next question, how do I do that? :laugh: As a relative newbie, do this, is there much to it?

Great, thanks again Erik.
Last question, is there much Verizon bloatware on the device?

Hi all, just to say I bought the Google Pixel XL 2 (64GB) in a New York Verizon Store (came to about €790).
It's working fine in Ireland with no problem and seems to be getting the updates also.
