Guys, I purchased an unlocked AT&T LG V10. It's currently running h90020j. I haven't received any ota updates yet.
My concern is that if I flash the new software version, will my phone get locked again? I use Etisalat SIM card in it.

i want to update my Unlocked AT&T LG V10 to the latest update H90021W. i tried using lg bridge but it prompts me to update from the update center from the phone itself. when i try to update from the phone, it shows "Device is up to date".
my question is that if i update via flashing the firmware file, will my device be relocked by AT&T? i live outside USA and Etisalat as my carrier. i have already downloaded the .kdz file for v21w software. i worried whether the device will get relocked by AT&T. help me out guys.
also i am getting a pretty poor battery out of my V10. wondering whether the new update would give me a better battery life.

I have updated to H90021W months ago it went smooth and error free. all my data was kept in tact and I have face 0 issues since then. I hope they find a way to get the kdz file for the future updates. Also no it shouldn't relock the device mine was unlocked when it updated and stayed unlocked.

New maintenance release : Dec 2016 security patch

Should be popping up on your device (you might have to pull the SIM to trick your handset into seeing the update).
If you want to sideload : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22067374/Blur_Version.24.221.8.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip

Just got mine

You are not tricking it into checking with Google...The update comes from Moto servers. However the sim can cause the imei controlled rollout to not work correctly on some handsets thus removing the sim allows the phone to get back.in line so to speak.

As far we know so far, this is for the XT1575 only... just the December 2016 security update to 6.0, very minor update. Started rolling our about a week ago... a big push seemed to happen on the 14th and 15th with many users receiving it those days.

Is there any way to update without wifi? I have unlimited data through Cricket Wireless but the system will only let me do it over wifi.

No, WiFi is required to get a Moto OTA.

Exactly! There's absolutely no excuse why the Pure hasn't been updated to Nougat especially since the phone uses a damn near vanilla Android! HTC 10 & LG G5 had theirs for over 2 months now & some Samsung S7/S7E has been getting theirs over the past few weeks. My wife regrets buying this phone now over the Nexus 6P last year & now can't wait to dump this phone for the upcoming Galaxy S8+.

We should all agree that Pure program by GG is a fail. GG initiated it with HTC, Moto... with Pure Edition and commit that they would be upgraded just after Nexus lines

You guys are missing the point.
Nougat 7.1 came out in December. In order to have a smooth update to 7.1, you need the pre requisites which is the security update

I understand your sentiment regarding the near vanilla, and I'm surprised Google didn't commit Lenovo to keeping the pure/style updated. Lenovo has given over to "standard business practices", which unfortunately means that the manufactures focus on updating their newest flagships first (Moto Z line, G5, GS7, HTC 10). This is nothing new and has been this way for a while. Once again, the rule applies: if you want the latest and greatest Android updates upon release buy a Google phone (Pixel). Aside from that I expect very little. If I want the latest and greatest, I turn to XDA and other sources for custom ROMs (which is nothing new for me).

It'll be another 2-3 months to even get 7.0 and than no more updates. That's why **** motorola/lenovo nobody buy the G6 or G6 plus so they finally go out of business!

you don't extract it to sideload it ... you need to make sure you have original partitions (this will NOT apply to a modified system or boot), and then restore the factory recovery. Factory recovery has a sideload from ADB option.
If you have modified enough, you may have to backtrack to the last full system image (may 2016, I think it was), then do the sept update, followed by the dec update.
Those are available in other threads on XDA.

Guys there is any chance of volte update because jio expanding their services to next one year
Can it is possible that after nought update it is possible

why is it so difficult to apply a few security patches. at this point i'll wait for nougut. I've been eyeing a few of the nougut roms, but I see comments about stability and features not working.
do we need to relock the bootloader too? or just no root, stock partitions, and stock recovery?

how do i update/ convert my v20???

i just ordered an lg v20 at&t model, and would like to know how to either update it or convert it to the unbranded version, as I am from the UK. Is it also possible it can be done without root, and by just using the software flashing tool?
thanks

Yeah, grab yourself the modded version of LGUP, download the KDZ (Most likely US996) and flash it. No root involved.

I'm in the same boat as the OP, in the UK.
I broke my International version HD990DS which I've had for a couple of years, and scored a replacement H910 on ebay (£115, sealed in box, 2019 date on battery). I received it this morning.
I wasn't aware when I bought it that it was an AT&T brand (unlocked), on Android 7, and un-updateable OTA here in the UK.
The kdz I'm downloading is 'US99620f_00_1120.kdz' from here: https://www.mylgphones.com/unlocked-lg-v20-us996-received-oreo-update-us99620f.html
Should this be good to go? I'm not aware what bands this enables. The bands EE use here are 1,3,7 & 20.
Is there a 'better' kdz I should be downloading?
TIA.
[edit] further to the above, for any UK EE users, the page here gives EE APN details which will need inputting if your phone isn't going to be a wifi only paperweight. Other operators and phones are listed in the site:
https://apn-uk.gishan.net/en/apn/ee/lg-v20
In this page you'll note EE does not support the H915 for 4G at all.
The H910 isn't listed, but it is supported for 4G by EE.[/edit]

Modded LGUP says : "Error:KDZ file is invalid' H910->US996"
I wish it had been that simple....
Anyone any pointers?

to flash cross model use partition dl mode, select all partitions. iirc
(not applicable to you specifically, but as a reminder to anyone else who reads this)
Remember, never ever flash (T-mobile) H918 firmware on anything but an H918, and if you have an H918 never ever flash another model's firmware. Instant permanent brick.

Thanks for your input. I'll give it a go tonight.
With LGUP does "DUMP" fo a restorable backup?
I've not used LGUP before a couple of days ago. I used to use Odin a lot, but that was years ago (see my forum join date...)

Did you manage to get oreo on H910? My mother has a H910 stuck in Nougat, but I'd like her to get the oreo update without having to mess with root or anything hard for her to use.

Not yet... I'm waiting until I've had the crap annoyed out of me enough before I invest the few hours time to put everything back on this phone that I want.
As all partitions have to be rewritten then its a case of starting from a totally fresh phone. Which is a chore that I'll do sometime, but not until this week at least is of the way....

Lgup patched linked above using partial download you can load Oreo from us996 or h915. H915 = H910 only Canadian version with respective network software.

I'm using H91520a_00_RGS_CA_OP_0717.kdz
Downloaded from LG-Firmwares here: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/...
IIRC it was the world's slowest download, reminiscent of using a dial-up modem (well, almost).
The H915 is the canadian version of the US H910, so no worries about hardware incompatibilities
Update in patched LGUP (using 'partitions.dl' option) took about 5 minutes and was painless (one warning screen popped up at start of f/w update process in LGUP saying USB was disconnected, but I ignored this throughout the update and left it showing) .
APN numbers need to be added
I backed up data (phone logs, messages etc) first in LG Mobile Switch app first, saving to SD Card. Which I took out of the phone first before the update 'just in case'.
No more AT&T crap, and Android 8.0.0, which is back to how my last V20 990DS was before I broke it (water damage).
It's a bargain phone for £120 on eBay. Good luck!

Thank you. That worked.

Fastboot is gone on my cross-flashed PM model. I verified that fastboot still works when rolling back to Oreo. Lame.

I cannot for the life of me get any of the LG software on Windows to work with my LG G7 ThinQ Sprint (710PM). I chatted w/ LG support and they said that they don't support after 6.0 which I don't believe that is true.
MTP is enabled and the phone shows up in device manager as well as my pc. I cannot for the life figure it out! I've tried it on my desktop as well as both of my windows tab pros.

I used LG UP 1.15 to update to Pie, and used the same to go back to Oreo.
I'm also not sure if fastboot is *supposed* to disappear when going to ULM Pie on a PM model, or if it disappeared because I goofed when I originally tried to flash using the patched LG UP 1.14, which promptly crashed while flashing and made my phone have the common "no serial number in the menu" issue (and who knows what else). It's possible the removal of the serial has caused some other issue, maybe? At least one user on the Telegram group has confirmed that when running the ULM firmware on the ULM hardware, fastboot is still available on Pie. That has not at all been the case for me, though.
In general, I think it's a good idea to just avoid the patched LG UP 1.14. I'd just wipe with 1.15 command line and deal with restoring after each update. 1.14 causes problems, and, in my experience, the upgrade option doesn't work anyway.

Not that I've seen. I can't root anymore because I can't get to fastboot to flash / boot a rooted boot image. Other than that, though, everything seems pretty much the same as it was on Oreo. No crashes or nasty battery drains that I've seen so far, though it's only been a couple days.

Not much difference between Oreo and Pie here.

Same here. I was shocked to see an update

I've been prompted but have not installed it. Some traffic on android central addressing this but it's weird. Version goes to vs99520d (from 20c) but for someone who installed it, the date did NOT change from 1 Oct 2018. One person was told by LG that this is their patch (Verizon tech support knows nothing about it and it is not on their web site) but I've spent a couple hours on the phone now with VZ and LG tech support and they have not been able to find anything at all related to this patch. Maybe it's perfectly fine but who put it out and what's in it?
androidcentral post is here https://forums.androidcentral.com/l...ity-update-my-verizon-lg-v20.html#post6847295

Did the security software version change. Mine is at version 4 not sure what it was before.

My security software version is MDF v2.0 Release 4 on VS99520c.

Mine is the same, the android central user was told (by LG) that it was a 'security patch' so he was comparing the date under 'Android security patch level' but maybe it's OK for that date to remain the same. At this point I'm more holding off because of being stubborn but I'll probably install it in the next day or two.

It's official Verizon is now showing it on there software update page for the LG V20.

If you update, can you keep root?

You can use the snoopsnitch app to see what the security patch is run the adnroid security patch tester and send a screenshot

So, just got a VS995 in the mail, unrooted. Which is the better root method:

You need to use Dirty Santa to get unlocked bootloader then you can use zip file to flash oreo with root.

I was going to try to get root on VS99520d now that I have 3 V20's. Verizon is now claiming VS99520c is the latest. Using their software update utility VS99520c is all that is offered now. I do have a copy of what I believe are the OTA update files but God only know what to do with them. Hopefully WiFi calling now works on VS99520c now. This is the only reason I was interested in 20d in the first place.
Edit: I was just being impatient. I got the OTA update after about a half hour. I'm curious what the Verizon Update tool will say about this one "VZW Utility Application - LG"
