How to unlock LG G5 VS982 Android 7.0 - General Questions and Answers

I had to unlock my LG G5 VS982 under Sprint with Hiddenmenucall_ 1.7. APK 7.0. I even made updates without any problems. Unfortunately this morning I've made an update and my phone no longer recognizes my SIM card anymore. When I re-installed with Hiddenmenucall_ 1.7. APK it doesn't work anymore. Please help me, what should I do? Thank.
My Android is 7.0 nougat.

LG Stylo 3 Plus T-mobile TP450 Sept 2017 software update?

Hi all, I got the notification of a T-mob software update end of September 2017 for my T-mob LG Stylo 3 Plus, the TP450. It currently is sporting the Android 7.0 with April 1 security patch, Kernel version is 3.18.31 and the soft version is TP45010b.
I am not seeing anything about that update on the T-mobile site.
Questions please, if you know:
- is this just a security patch as I'm guessing or a more serious Android version update?
- More importantly for now: if I go ahead and do it, will I lose all my apps etc? IOW does the phone reset to "stock" status with that update?
TIA

Just update with LG Bridge. You can regain root, either with SuperSU or Magisk, afterwards.
sorry if I wasn't clear. The phone is not rooted, for now, has stock recovery etc, and I need to keep it that way for a while. (edited OP for clarity)
well, since there was no reply about updating the stock phone, I took a chance and did the update, and if you are interested, it did NOT reset the phone. All my apps and their settings are still there apparently.
Good to know.
IT is now Soft v. TP450c . Sec patch is dated Aug 1 2017. Still Android 7.0 and Kernel 3.18.31

As a rule, a software update on a stock phone does not reset the system. Could you imagine the outrage if it wiped everything every time your phone updated? Even during a major version update it may. be recommended to factory reset, the manufacturer doesn't do that. They want you to keep using them and their phone and don't want to make it harder for you than necessary so you dont try another carrier or manufacturer.

VS99516B update

Didn't see any threads or posts on this one yet. Anyone get the update yet? Android version still says 7.0
718.5 MB is a pretty big file.
Droid- Life just said it's the September security patch, but I got this from LG.
------Reply to Your Inquiry-------
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a software update for your device. This software update has been tested to help optimize device performance, resolve known issues and apply the latest security patches. The latest software for the LG V20 for Verizon Wireless is software version VS99516B.
I'm attempting a rollback to 13A, was on 16B (I took the OTA) to run the exploit to gain root access. Looks like it is successful... Will post back if it is not.
Anyone found a KDZ of 16B? I am using a US996 and I flashed the system and kernel from a VS995 with LGUP to use it better on Verizon. So I need a KDZ to update further.

New LG G5, firmware advice?

I just picked up a refurbed LG G5 and it is loaded with 6.0.1 dated 03-01-2016.
Seeing as how there is a huge thread on how poorly nougat is implemented on the G5.... Should I stay on 6.0.1 or apply some level of updates?
PS: I'm on pageplus so I don't think I will get OTA updates... I assume there is a method to update over USB?
I'm downloading both VS98715A (last MM) and VS9872EA (latest Nougat), along with the usb drivers and LGUP software. Unless someone suggests otherwise, my plan will be to update to the 15A for now and use the phone for awhile. I need to do some more reading about Nougat as the current threads don't exactly give me the "warm fuzzies".
Let me know if you are happy with Nougat...
PS. My Galaxy S5 is still on a rooted version of Lollipop so even MM will be a bit of an upgrade.

Huawei P30 Lite cannot update

Hey all,
I recently got a brand new Huawei P30 Lite (MAR-LX3A) and it's currently running EMUI 9.0.1. The latest android security patch is April 1st, 2019.
I've tried everything I could to update it
1. System Settings: Doesn't work
2. HiSuite: Doesn't work
3. Support app: Doesn't work
I haven't put a SIM card into it, but I don't think that's the problem.
Could it be because the support for Android 9 ended during January 2022?
Is there any another way I can update my phone without flashing a custom ROM?
Thank you
