How can I know if I have a cross flashed phone? Mine is a LG G7+ LM-G710EAW and the last update was by LG bridge June 2019. it was bought on ebay UK, nearly 2 years ago, it has been pretty good, apart from not receiving updates! software version is V20a-TWN-XX Thanks
i think if it doesnt show a serial number in settings its cross flashed. Could be wrong though

Hi there, I am in the UK and as my user name suggests I currently have a Moto Razr Maxx which I bought a few years ago, it was an imported phone from outside the UK and because of its non-EFIGS firmware build the OTA updates were withheld leaving me stuck on ICS4.0.4. I am now looking to update my hardware and the Nexus 5 looks the way to go. What I do NOT want is to fall into the same trap again and have another phone that will not get the OTA updates.
I have sourced a nexus 5 reseller (Google claim out of stock for a long time now) but the phone is imported form 'overseas' it is a LG-D821 model which is sold as the 'international' version. Can anyone tell me if the Nexus phone firmware is regionalised like my Motorola or if I will get all the updates without the need to go the route of ROMs etc?

There are only 2 models. North America D820 and RoW D821. None of them are carrier branded, locked or restricted in any way. They all get OTA's exactly as they are intended, no matter where in the world you are.
Don't mind my typo in the typo, I don't know what happened there.
I have the LG G2 D800 variant, as well the Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850A. Both of these phones are AT&T branded, and both have had Lollipop released for them on April 14th 2015 (5 days ago).
However, when I check for updates on both phones I'm told my software is up to date. I'm on Wi-Fi with a 60% charge.

For the LG, follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/general/update-to-stock-lolipop-d80030f-root-t3084081
For the Samsung, I do not know
An official update was released 5 days ago, this is a stock phone. When I check for an update the phone tells me no update available.
Do you have an At&t sim. If yes then the update must be available if no then you have to follow the process in the link the guy gave

I just ordered a new LG G5
Will it get all the OTA's from last year through today when I put it on the T MObile network?
It didn't occur to me until after I ordered it that it probably ships with the 6.0.1 version and that T Mobile might not still host the files for 8 or 9 updates from the last year. Will it do the updates even though the phone is a year old?
It should be able to do OTA, the files are hosted on LG servers. If you don't get OTA, you can always download the LG program on your computer and update using that.
On Fido. Update received after manual update check.
March SMR confirmed.
Same, on Bell.
This likely means the carriers have nothing to do with it... LG or Google is pushing the updates, though probably LG, hence the line "LG is pleased to provide...".
so happy to get this, i'm also on fido.
based on the wording and timing of the updates so far, it feels like LG is the one pushing out the updates. curious to see if they continue being so laggard - can they actually get kicked out of the android one program if they aren't meeting the monthly rollouts? hopefully they improve on this - after my G4 being abandoned so quickly i was pretty hesitant to trust LG again but this is a pretty sweet phone all in all imo.
Received it as well.
I got my update on the same day - Unlocked & purchased from Amazon.ca.
No update in Japan (but we did get the february update before north america so the scheduling is all over the place)
I bought a V50 here in the UK that was originally sold by the Australian network Telstra, The phone works fine but I didn't know before I bought it that Telstra V50's have not yet been updated to Android 10.
Is it at all possible to change the firmware so I can get Android 10 quicker ? Not changed any firmware before but if someone has a idiot's guide lol
Thanks
No...
Same boat over here in Oz...
Thanks for the reply, That's a shame the phone is nice but I am a bit concerned about the security updates are still saying October 2019.
Might have to sell and go for a S20 instead.
S20 is trash. Compared to this phone

Says someone ho has the benefit of being upgraded..
Seriously, still on Android 9 and security patch is October 2019...
No Android 10 in sight and LG passing the buck back to Google saying they haven't released the OTA to us here in Australia yet.
Hardware might be good but the software support is straight down the toilet. Honestly, this was supposed to be a flagship device, I've had $200 phones with better support, LG should be ashamed...
Android 10 has FINALLY been released for Australian V50's...
