I don't know about this but we can wait. LG have said that they will unlock bootloader after 7.0 update.

Downloading right now. FINALLY!
Edit:
Lets see how this runs. It definitely feels different.

Source?

I've been told that the G5 now supports themes on the nougat update. Anyone wanna try my theme i made and confirm that it's working?

You can see screenshots and change log there.

It's kinda odd the source hasn't been posted nor has Sprint update their updates page. I still installed it. Not sure what I think yet.....I know I hate the menu from holding the recent app button is gone. And I hate they are now using the google emojis. Liked the LG ones much better. Themes do work or least the ones included. the default and two others. They do turn the system menus black. w00t w00t

How do you download it ?

will be possible now to remove the bloatware?

Just installed it. Not thrilled that they moved the clear all apps button to the top of the page screen. Also the lock screen looks weird. All stuff I'm sure I'll get used to. Except for the clear all button. That's some mad bs.

I like it so far. It seems smoother and more responsive.

I see no issues at all. It's working on my girlfriends G5 just as it does on my V20. We traded devices since yesterday and I haven't found an issue yet.

Nope, but if the bootloader unlock rumor is true. Root will allow us to do so.

I love the update so far. I made a small album with some screenshots showing some of the new features: http://imgur.com/a/6H1us

Good News!
I just ran and tested the 'DirtyCowExploit' -and it's still wide open in ZV8! (7.0 Nougat).

I ssuurrreee hope this finally means we can root this bad boy...that would totally make my day!

Are you trying to update the firmware or LG software? Just curious because it's a LG software update.

New T-Mobile firmware update is being pushed out

Maybe this is the battery update that the Note 4 received right after release?

I just turned on my phone a few minutes ago and saw the update.
Honestly, I wanted to check here on the XDA forum first to see who installed the UPDATE for the phone, because frankly, after the recent Lollipop UPDATE that Google sent out to their Nexus line of devices, and the HUGE DRAMA with system BUGS, I'm leaning toward conservative -- even though I know this isn't a Lollipop O/S update.
UPDATE: I found the link on T-Mobile's website, and they say, "This update provides Chinese language support"
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18152
Went ahead and allowed the update to be applied but because I have already rooted it the update wouldn't take.

That's it? Language support? I installed it hoping it was a battery improvement like the note 4 got straight out the box. This sucks if true.

Just a few more days and I will get home to my Edge that is sitting in its box. After setting it up I am going to use your root method.
Saw the update this morning when I got up and this popped up in the googletron. I know it's for the Note 4 but I'm wondering if any of this garbage will happen post update... Anyone have any issues like stated in the article?
http://www.tmonews.com/2014/12/t-mo...e-malware-installing-apps-without-permission/
Please note that I am not rooted yet, had an issue with my accelerometer with my first Edge and I'm giving this a few weeks to see if anything crops up first.
My girl got this is morning. Nothing on my phone but i havent check either. I always wait until i get the info on xda first.
But with it just being language support i doubt i will be looking for it.
But im also willing to bet its a patch for something and they just dont want to say so.

Hi, feel like an idiot having to ask this but I'd rather be an idiot with a working phone than one without. Anyhow when you say update via ODIN, which slot am I putting it in to? Or maybe the better question is where in the CF Rooting process does the zip or rather md5 file get flashed?

That would be step -1 (step negative 1) right before step 0... You will start by flashing via Odin the newest NK3 firmware... Then continue the whole guide. Any questions, just ask.

M9 Developers Edition 5.1 update Up.

Hi Everyone, my Developers Edition M9 just got updated to 5.1 version 2.8.617.4.
Happy 4th.
Chingonazo
Yep. I believe this is the OTA URL for the dev edition (from 1.32.617.30 to 2.8.617.4) if anyone wants it.
It looks like the firmware isn't up on HTC's download page yet, but I think the Sprint one is.
Mine too
Initial thoughts after just a few minutes of playing with the camera and a few other things, camera launches much faster and pictures look more detailed and consistent. Phone feels smoother and more responsive when double tapping to wake it. If people continue complaining about the M9 after this update then there is no pleasing them. This is why I keep coming back to HTC. I will not fall for the gimmicks that other brands are selling. I will report back if I find anything else of significance.
Chingonazo
I don't have the developer edition of the M9, but I do have the Unlocked edition from HTC and I can confirm I just got the same update about 30 minutes ago.
Mine will not finish update . It keeps aborting. Can someone please be kind enough to make an ruu zip ? The exe way don't work on my PC. I have to do the sd card/0PJAIMG.zip way. Thanks

Anyone know why there're two different version number? One as 2.6.651.11 and another is 2.8.617.4? Since I'm DevEd phone, don't know why I got 2.6.651.11 update notification.

The answer is here. Flash the RUU from the OP, then the one from this post. Be sure to use ADB to flash the OP RUU. The Dev Edition one can be run on a windows machine as an .exc.

New firmware 32.1.A.1.185

Just got the update. Don't know yet what's new.
Nothing visible so far, maybe some optimization and fix for the screen bug.
Only difference I can spot is that the network type (H/4G/LTE etc.) is now placed on the left of the reception bar instead of above it.

Also, it says something about a revamped camera ui but I see nothing different....

I tried updating with root and it failed. I also want to know if root is possible with thia update.
I'm using a rooted phone myself - while I use the DRM key emulation I know OTA updates will most likely fail so I will perform the upgrade manually.
Would anyone please check the Android security patch level?
If you go to System Settings - About phone. One entry says "Android security patch level" which is February 1st on the .163 version. Did this one increase maybe?
If so, it would be worth the hassle with Flashtool and rerooting and such for me to upgrade.

I would wait. It hasn't been released for this area yet and if you manual upgrade a soak you may never get the ota. From what I've seen I'd rather Moto wait and give us a more stable release than what's been released so far. I'm not sure why everyone is in such a hurry, we will get it and it will be more stable.

I just signed up for the beta and as of today there are 87 of 200 slots taken. I'm in Sweden at the moment.
No download or update yet, but that would take up to 2 weeks.
I'm used to rooting and custom ROMing my phones, but there are no options for this one, so the beta is the next best thing.

I just signed up for the beta and as of today there are 87 of 200 slots taken. I'm in Sweden at the moment.
No download or update yet, but that would take up to 2 weeks.
I'm used to rooting and custom ROMing my phones, but there are no options for this one, so the beta is the next best thing.

Cool. It became available for me just now.
Any issues with camera? Is is different compared to before the update?
Is it working well? Does one dare update? A broken update would ruin my plans for tonight.

Couldn't wait, like a kid on Xmas eve!
Everything seems to be running ok with the update.
You think we squeeze extra functions out of devs? Like automatic themes depending on daytime and such.
Oreo
Got it yesterday
For now all is just perfect

It would be nice if you can report back after some days regarding the battery, software, performance and camera.
I already tried to get the update through the beta program, but for me it says no project available. Maybe I can install it from FF, but I don't know if it will be good.
Thanks!

There is not much difference from the latest non-beta update. I would say that the phone is slightly less responsive than before the beta-update, especially when unlocking the phone with fingerprint.
I'm having a separate issue on the camera that was there pre-beta, so I can't give info on the camera.
I have been running the beta for 2 days and now suddenly the screen is unresponsive and the phone randomly reboots. Then suddenly it starts working again.
Anyone else experiencing this?
And does anyone know how to roll back to EMUI 5?

I've crawled the length and width of the internets and there is yet a way to roll back the beta. It's just too new.
I downloaded and tried to flash older firmware, but since the beta resizes the partitions, you can't do it anything until someone with more knowledge puts time and effort into sorting it out. I got as far as unlocking the bootloader but no further.
As for the random reboots, you could try a factory reset. You could also unenroll from the beta, although I was unable to, I think it's because I have an open ticket in the BETA app.

There is a Rollback in Firmware Finder, test on your own risk.
