Can confirm. Already installed, I'll keep my eyes peeled for changes. I am also on 7.0.

Installed the update. Still 7.0 but feels like my device runs faster and more smooth. :laugh:

Probably because it was rebooted after the update.

What? Mine won't find the security patch update

Hi bro, does LG G5 H820 AT&T have update 7.0?

LG G5 RS988 Firmware Update Released

Hello,
I just received the Firmware update the Software version is now RS98811b it looks pretty stable so far anyone else received this update that wants to share anything?
Wife's phone got the notification the day we bought it (Sunday) and I told her to hold off in case a root exploit is found in the old firmware that is patched in this new version. (Assuming anybody is even actively working on it anymore - I don't even know who is now that jcase has moved on, I haven't been on IRC for a while.)
Hm, interesting, I already love how snappy it feels, the battery seems a bit more efficient but until I test it for days I can't say for certain. The one area that really stands out though is the touchscreen feels much more sensitive, which was never a problem, but now it feels so smooth I couldn't go back to the old G5's scrolling speed.

I'm really trying to hold off, but if it really improves performance that much, I might go for it...
Here is the changelog and it does feel much snappier. The auto brightness is also much better than before.
The update is for lg g5 europe or for T-mobile Lg g5?

I got this on my RS988, USA unlocked version.
For anyone holding of on this update do to worrying about it tripping the anti rollback counter it does not. My girlfriends phone rs988 just got the update and I went into the hidden menu and checked the anti rollback number and it is still at 0. This is for version RS98811b that was just released.

I just got my G5 RS988 today and I just let the RS98811b update proceed. Can you share how to access this "hidden menu" so I can see this rollback counter?
Thanks..

Yes goto your dialer app and type the following in:
*#546368#*988#
Then click on SVC menu, then click on version info and scroll all the way down and you're looking for the anti rollback version.
Does anyone know if new Android Nougat update increments the anti-rollback counter?

A new AT&T software update pending...

I just setup my AT&T s7 edge today. All has been great for the past 6 hours. Now my sm-g935a just downloaded a new at&t software update.
Anyone have this same update today or get this installed yet? Do we know what it includes? I will dig around for more details myself, maybe my phone was behind in updates.
UPDATE/EDIT: I think for me it might be a security patch. Noticing I am Android security patch level Sept 1, 2016. Is this the current?
Current AT&T patch for S7e is 11/01/2016. I checked last week and there was no update for Dec.

Good luck getting it to go through, I had to go to at&t online and have them force push the update earlier this week, then the touch on the phone went out and couldn't use certain parts of the keyboard. Replacement phone I got, they can't even get the update to force over.

And you still aren't up to date. There's an APK1 update from November that won't go through unless you call or chat with them. I gave up trying to get rid of it; the first S7 Edge I got on Christmas Eve, updated it to APK1 and rooted it, crashed 5 times in 10 days, then the touch sensor on the lower right went out. Then, tried to update to the October software, rooted, crashed, reset and Odined the September software, rooted, fine.
Why is it not allowed through or I'm not seeing it?

I have APK1, just got the phone today. I can root on APK1 right? Been searching for a few hours now and haven't found a definitive answer. If you could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I considered rooting to uninstall all the junk ware. It seems though it can be somewhat risky. Plus it seems to give some buggy results and given the s7 is not perfect in any way, I'm personally settled to just leave it the way it is. Was hoping that update I saw last night was a prelude to a nougat upgrade.
I just came from the Note 7... Well I still have it... Anyway I don't mind buggy processes and or Idc about tripping Knox either lol. This phone is gonna be my play phone till the Note 8 comes out :cyclops:

Use package disabler pro to freeze junk. Doesn't free up space but stops them from running.

New LG v20 wont download update.

I'm on Wi-Fi and fully charged. It says there is an update and that i can download it on Wi-Fi. But there's no way to make it start the download and it's not prompting me. Any tips?
EDIT: Nevermind.... I realized it is just easier to fool the phone by changing the time. Apparently LG does not understand what the words "any time" mean. Stupid idiotic that it will only update after 11pm. But I have the update now by tricking the phone.
What sort of black magic is this?!
LOL, good to know for others who might be stuck in the same boat. :thumbsup:

what was the latest update? Were you on stock and got this notification? Also, which version do you have, t mobile, verizon, sprint, etc?

It was on a 2016 firmware, unfortunately I don't remember (terrible I know)... I have T-Mobile and it's completely stock currently. I may have to root in the future to debloat since all of the bloat has the "disable" button greyed out.
Seems resolved now that I changed the time to trick it to update.

Did you manage to get the speaker static fixed? I've sent mine back three times now and they keep saying its fine - but the sound is completely unusable at the lowest volumes with the static/distortion.

Why is it Lenovo have stopped sending out the 7.1.1 update? I have it but my partner doesn't. When asking Lenovo they said they have never rolled out the update. Mmm someone's lying!

Any news about what happened with this update?

Lenovo lies to avoid to have to fix the update...
The news are that have some bugs and Lenovo have no plan to fix it, so that's why they have retired the update from their servers... You can download the update zip from internet and flash it manually (that's what I did), but have some things that fails like for example screen casting.
I don't use screen casting and I've not found other bugs for now, but maybe have more...

Latest firmware for H870DS

I've got an H870DS and notice that the security update is Jul-18. Is there no later one? I've checked for an update but the phone is telling me none is available. Seems odd.

No, quite the opposite, it would be odd if LG started to release regular updates. Security updates are overrated, software enhancements are more beneficial. Users are the biggest security risk, make sensible decisions with the apps you use, sites accessed, downloads etc and you'll be fine 99% of the time.

I got an update in August with the August 2018 security patch. Try to use LG Bridge to update your phone if OTA updates don't appear. The Hong Kong version of the V20 got the update with the September security patch, so I expect more updates for the G6 shortly.
Thought I would follow up, got bridge working but no updates, guess I need to wait for the next release, whenever that may be.
