Android 6.0 for Metro PCS Variant?

Hey there. Do you all think that the Metro Variant of the G Stylo will receive the Marshmallow Update, now that the T-Mobile variant should be getting the update? Any thoughts? I checked the LG Open Source page and there's no sign of marshmallow for the T-Mobile variant or the Metro PCS variant, so thats also got me scratching my head a bit. Any thoughts?

I know is weird i have the t-mobile version and didnt get the update yet i double check via lg bridge on pc and it said my phone is update but im still on 5.1.1 lollipop. And some ppl on threads said they have been updated but no kdz files uploaded this is cracking me up.

6.0 update
I have spoken with metro tech support and they have repeatedly told me that they are waiting for T mobile to release the metro varient firmware they have said we r going to get it

MetroPCS test drive on T-Mobile
I have MetroPCS LG G Stylo just flashed T-Mobile 5.1.1 firmware today.
Just to see if I'm getting an OTA message update or not, and it did.

Pretty simple just follow these steps from DrakenFX return2stock
Instead grabbing files for MetroPCS you grab the T-Mobile one.

I tried this last night, it did install the tmobile firmware without a problem, and it also installed a 146 meg update, but thats all it gave me, did not detect or install MM, i tried LG Bridge and what it did was detect my phone as a Metropcs version and wanted to download and install the metro Firmware.
Maybe i did something wrong who knows, lol..
keep me updated..
Louie

So let me get this straight. I have to Root my phone, via whatever method works, and then follow the instructions on that link to flash tmobile stock rom, then grab the OTA?

Cant I root and then use a program like....idk titanium back up or Rom Toolbox to flash that rom?

couldnt he install the tmobile kdz with the lg flash tool?

Ok i have the metro stylo i flashed a T-Mobile kdz using lg tool. Ive took a couple of minor updates no marshmallow. So i rooted and paste the update.zip i downloaded directly to data/fota. I went back update center and checked again and it was there. The mm update downloaded again for some reason. When i tried to install it aborts just before finishing. I wanted to no if it was possible fastboot flash boot and system

You can't take an OTA if your phone is already rooted. If you had not rooted, you would have had a working MM on your phone and THEN you can root after.

Followed the steps you did (at least from what you've given us.)
I downloaded an update.zip from the tmobile marshmallow update, transferred it to data/fota and ran the software installer but nothing shows up. keeps reading my system is up to date (Im using a metropcs device like you & running a tmobile stock rom as well.)

AT&T Unlocked LG V10

So my aunt who lives in US bought me lg v10 at&t unlocked from daily steals on december and brought it to me in indonesia. I saw the manufacturing date was on september 2016 and software version is h90021v. I wanted to update to h90021w or the latest h90021z but every time i check for updates, it said i already have the latest. Is it because its unlocked? And if i were to use lgup, would it relocked to at&t? Would really appreciate the help

You can download the h90021w kdz and update via LG UP manually. It won't relock the device. I did it and it's working fine.

Thanks a lot! Will try later. And do you know why i don't get ota updates? Is it because my device is unlocked?

Could be the reason. My device is also unlocked and I don't get ota updates either.

I see. Okay thanks for the help. Oh and would you mind giving tips for this phone? What i should and should not do.

I will advise disabling all the bloatware LG apps. Install Greenify for a slightly better battery life. Try not to let the phone get too hot as it may lead to bootloop. Install a cpu monitor app to keep an eye on cpu temperature.

Download kdz from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7FrzLAFlRrvd2N2bU5BSjljRGs/view ,install LG UP, install LG drivers. Connect phone with pc make sure it gets detected in LG UP. Then use bin file option and select the downloaded kdz file. Use "Upgrade" option to update without losing any data.

thanks

You’ll need to update via an AT&T sim. If it won’t update it an att sim you might not have an actual H810. A lot of people have problems with the phone after updating so I wouldn’t recommend it anyway.

Hi Hyelton,
Thanks for the super prompt response. Unfortunately I'm not in the US and do not have access to a ATT sim. even if i had, there is no network for ATT where I am. Based on my research online, others were able to update without the sim card using FOTA via adb and LGUp. I just don't understand why mine is giving me so much stress. The phone is a H810. Can send a screenshot of phone's software details page. I need the phone to be on Android 6 cos I need to install my office apps on the phone and only android 6 or above is supported.....

The phones software details doesn't show the actual model just the software installed. Just throwing it out there it's common when it comes to the H810 to be sold to someone and its not an H810. Especially if your friend bought it referbed

Only real way to know is to take the phone apart and look on the motherboard. Not saying it’s not an H810. But it’s extremely common

Sadly that’s not possible as there’s no stock MM firmware. And most likely never will be

Just double checked sorry about that, yeah got that file back in March it’s even in the OP links. Yes you can flash that. Just be sure you have an actual H810 or you’ll really screw up the device when flashing.

Hey Hyelton,
Thanks so much, I appreciate your help so far. Do you have instructions for flashing? (havent flashed LG before). Can I use LGUP and if I do, what do I select? refurbish or upgrade?

It’s in the guide/thread your posting in . Yes you would use LGUP and choose refurbish if you cannot select the tot choose upgrade, select the tot then go back and choose refurbish.
Some things to remember. If it is a wrong model phone flash will either fail and you’ll be stuck, or the update will work but under settings and privacy /password and a few other things will no longer be usable.
Also you won’t be able to downgrade once you flash this.

Hi Hyelton,
So I flashed the phone and the upgrade worked. However unfortunately, I cant get into the security settings, my lock screen settings is stuck on swipe(other lock methods fail). and phone wifi does not work with enterprise wifi that is secured. Do you have any fix for this? If this is a board issue, maybe I should open the board and flash it with the appropriate firmware for the board (ie: If H815, flash with MM for 815 etc)-what do you think?

Just an update; opened the motherboard, its a H810. not sure why I'm having this security setting issue. also, funny enough, I can now update software directly from AT&T server. My 20y is now 22c! if I can just fix this "unfortunately, the process com.android.settings has stopped" error on the security settings, I will be fine.
Please anyone have a solution to this?

Sadly that error is symptom is common across a lot of AT&T G4s both faked and real. Only fix is to have its board replaced. There’s no fix for it.

On mine: Anti-rollback Version= APPSBL(LK) : 0, SBL1 : 0, TZ : 0, RPM: 0
Not sure what that means...

What's the consensus ? Go or No-go?
Any one care to share their experience? How is it? Everything working? Anything broken(other than the Volte that was mentioned earlier)? Any quirks? Upgrades*(better battery life, more fluid performance, etc) ?
I got a notification the other day for the update too on my US996, but I didn't want to mess up a "good thing", haha... or more over, my V20 is running relatively fine on android 7 for now, thought I'd wait and see feedback before I touch the waters...thanks to those brave pioneers out there who fearlessly try out the latest and greatest updates.

Never rooted it.. and kept to stock firmware.
Everything is working so far on Verizon - once I got VoLTE back (see above - and that would be a deal breaker for me - I was prepping to roll it back). For now - I'd say it's a go.. but I'm also already committed.
My advice - you waited this long.. give it another week or two...

My battery is still settling in for Oreo. Once it settles that I should get more battery Screen on Time.
Overall, its an amazing experience.

Chipster0 and YPG70, thanks for the feedback. I suppose I'll wait a little longer before I upgrade, good to hear that everything seems to be positive; a real upgrade, rather than an "upgrade" that messes things up.

Anyone have any ideas why my unlocked US996 isn't getting an update notification? I'm on AT&T network (if that matters). In fact I'm running 99610d. Security patch of Oct. 1 2016. I thought there was a security update more current than that.
I did try LG bridge before Jan 2019 and it didn't report any new security updates. I'm yet to try LG Bridge now that it seems oreo is finally being rolled out on US 996. I was trying to avoid LG Bridge because I want to avoid losing all my settings (which I believe will happen when you go the LG Bridge route).
Thanks
EDIT: I just ran LG Bridge, and it reports back with "your phone is up to date". When I click OK, and the "your phone is up to date" window disappears, I am then presented with what looks like there is indeed a "new version" dating 12.11.2017. However, it states that I must go to the Update Center settings on my phone to do the update. But when I do that, my phone says I'm on the latest...

Ended up online chatting with LG support. Spoke with two of them who were adamant that LG doesn't push OTA firmware's and that it must be through the carrier (despite my phone being the unlocked version). They also said LG Bridge is for Android 6.0 and lower (despite LG bridge being the software specified at the v20 US 996 website). Anyway, with ridiculous statements like that, I knew I wasn't going to get any help from them. I ended up downloading the firmware from the link (thanks!) and using uppercut to flash the downloaded. So I'm happy to report that I am now running Oreo and haven't encountered any issues so far.

Can this be safely installed on US996 UCL?
US99610n current version

Official Pie Update for SM-N950U?

Can someone send me the official link for the official stable Pie update? Cuz my phone which is Unlocked AT&T Note 8 has a problem updating.
When I go into settings>>software update>> it always says "Current software is up to date". Same thing happens when I use Samsung Smart Switch on Windows it says the same thing.
I would try to flash the .zip file on the stock recovery.
I would provide the other details below if you need cuz I'm unsure what update file should I use. Thanks!!

There are threads available to help you with that, just need to do a little bit of searching.

Affirmative!

When the August security update comes out for the U.S., will my Cricketwireless SIM allow me to get the AT&T update? Or, do I have to put an AT&T SIM in the phone. Could I just take the SIM out & connect to wifi instead?
Thanks.
