Yes it's the U.S. variant. What carrier are you on?

I use the phone on AT&T although i have Google Fi (Tmobile, Sprint, etc) as well. the carrier makes a difference when updating?

Sometimes it does. Just a couple questions though:
1. Are you 100% sure you're on B138 and not B183?
2. Are you able to manually check for updates?
3. Are you checking for updates over LTE, WiFi, or both?

138 confirmed. Doing manually and auto, and on wifi and cellular.
I have tried on ATT and Tmo. At some point i was receiving the update but it would fail, After about the third time it stopped prompting me to update. I was wondering how to reset the update counter?

I think i know what i did. during the process of rooting, once i acquired root, i was still @ 138 when i was prompted. I realized that the hardware and public zip i hadn't flashed as part of the process, and i grabbed the 183 from some site, and flashed them before the update. so it appears that the os thinks i'm at 138, i maybe @ 183 without the system img... how can i flash 183 manually thru twrp, as it fails when i try.

That I have no idea about. Flashing is completely different on this phone compared to what I'm used to. Ever since I used FunkyHuawei to restore mine I haven't even rooted it or anything.

I also cannot get fastboot to work which makes me suspect something is amiss somewhere... also the e-recovery doesn't work making this worse.

AT&T H810 Update 8/31 V10I

Looks like they kept their promise with the monthly updates.. At least they did for this month. AT&T is getting V10I pushed out today. At only 46.7MB, I doubt this will fix any of the major problems, other than stagefright.

This would be huge if it fixes the issues. Can't wait to hear from someone who takes the update
So two things need to be done about this:
A) Does the update break root/can the update be done with root.
B) Someone with the touch issues should take the update and see if it fixes said issues.
I'm almost positive that at a mere 46MB that this may not include said fixes, but it's worth checking out to see.

It is just security. Another user confirmed that the horrible touch and lag survived the update
According to changelog only security update as promised by LG. I wouldn't search for any other changes if not listed. Or maybe LG never mentions all changes?

Do you even know how many versions of the G4 there are? H815, H811, H812 and a lot more.. It's not that easy to just code real quick to the newest versions.. Plus I have no memory or touch issues, maybe that's why I'm patient to wait for Marshmellow..
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm not holding my breath for marshmallow, ATT won't roll that out until April, that's why they need to roll out 5.1.1 now! Really for crying out loud 5.1.1 was 2 months old when they released this thing. I'm going back to a nexus next time, screw this crap
Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk
Anyone have a guide on how to create a rooted system image for this update?
I actually do love this phone overall, sorry just annoyed. Really thought 5.1.1r6 would be how they delivered the stage fright fix. As a former nexus 5 user and current nexus 7 user, every version of lollipop before 5.1.1 is garbage from my experience. Keep you device on for more than 24 hours and the system starts going haywire and randomly killing processes. And no I never had any touchscreen issues. I checked out the optimus G, g2, and g3s update history before I bought this and unless at&t decides to give their update department speed, don't except a major OS update until the nearest April after it releases

Someone who isn't rooted would have to take the OTA then extract their system.img and post it here so we can inject root into it.
EDIT: If someone can provide me with a stock 10I system.img I can root it and upload the prerooted .img

You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.
Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.
Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.
PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

According to this post on the ZTE forums, the OTA should be available in 24-72 hours for the US variant.

I thought they said they would be releasing the stock images along with the OTA though? Or did I misunderstand something. . .

"adb logcat" on a computer while checking for the update on the phone. It will always list the update URL. It's a pretty big patch -- 376 MB. Boot and recovery are modified but no separate fastboot. So either that's been added into the normal partition commands, or it's still going to be an OTA to enable bootloader unlocking.
Can't wait to hear from the brave souls who update first have to say. I'm goign to keep my root/twrp for now

"B27" Downloaded and installed. Not all of what everyone/most where asking for, but substantial enough to make a believer out of me. Security patch level at September 1, 'Backup account' no longer greyed out, tweeked signal strength indicator, audio no longer drops out when starting camera and probably a host of other tweeks under the hood.
No announcement about stock images, not good.
I have OTA

Strangely enough, I have dropbox installed after the update.
Unless I butt installed it just before (I do not use dropbox).
I'm fairly sure that the last update for the EU model installed an app as well (though not Dropbox).
How do we make a twrp flashbacks zip out of this that won't take away twrp?

I'm currently on stock B20, locked and unrooted.
I posted the same in @DrakenFX's thread, but I'm happy to try out whatever folks think would be best:
1.) Unlock via the thread instructions and then update to B27
2.) Update to B27, then try to unlock via the thread instructions
3.) Other?

[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.
Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)
My phone is with modified boot.img by magisk. It was just updated to B388 sucessfully without swithing back to stock boot.

Yes it will need stock recovery
If I go back to stock recovery what happens to all my apps and settings that need root?
What's the best way to backup, flash stock, update then restore?
PS I'm coming from a iPhone.
Thanks,
Chris

It will remain intact. No data loss. Well Chris, i can confirm on the OTA part but you never know the unforeseen consequences. I mean can run into trouble sometimes as Huawei/Honor phones are prone to brick in seconds. I would say to not update in such scenarios.
