Verizon Software Update 14? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know what the new Verizon Software update 14, is?
My phone started bugging me, this morning.
I'm rooted on 20C, and I don't want to screw anything up.
I'll happily unroot if it's Pie, though.

Nevermind, I see people talking in another section about it being a security patch.

Where did you see the discussion? I've been on androidcentral forum and supposedly LG told somebody (not me) that it was a security update but provided no details. I've spent a couple hours now on the phone with Verizon and LG tech support and they both claim it is not their patch. Maybe the people I've been talking to don't know where to look but this is weird. The people who have applied it got updated from 20c to 20d but the security update date remained at 1 Oct 2018, which was the 20c patch. Confused...

Well I'll be dipped I thought it was just my phone.

I was just referring to this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/vs995-updated-to-20d-security-patch-t4153935
So Verizon is claiming they didn't push an update? Very interesting.

I'm sure the patch is legit and this is just the usual big-company problem where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, but I wonder if it's an update that 'escaped' from their development process prematurely. Not updating the security patch date from 1-Oct-2018 is a pretty big red flag even apart from the support staff of both companies being ignorant. It would be nice to think that we (in the U.S.) will get Pie like the folks in Korea, but my guess is there isn't enough U.S. market presence for this phone for LG to want the support headaches so they will never do it.

Anyone else not have the cupcake update?

its almost the end of june and yet no update yet just wondering if it was pushed back even farther since it was supposed to be released the 1st week of june. also could it not be updating because i have my phone rooted? thanks
If you want cupcake...go to the android development area of this forum. And load a custom cooked ROM onto your phone. You have root so you will NOT be getting the 1.5 update that t-mobile is currently rolling out in the U.S.

Like the others said, you have a rooted phone, which means you wont be getting OTA updates. Ever. You have to go to the "Android Development" subforum under Dream and find a ROM (JF/TheDude/etc) and follow the directions carefully. If you need help, search that forum, because there may have been someone else with the same problem.
has it not been on the site for some 2 months now? This thread is only going to turn into bashing

I'm not sure if you all noticed or not, but the Samsung Epic 4G didn't get updated to Android 2.2 on December 26th like one rumor claimed it would. Sprint promised that the upgrade would come "ASAP," and now another rumor has appeared that claims to know exactly when that is. According to a source speaking with Android Central, the Epic will finally be bumped up to build EA17 of Froyo on February 21st. However, the Epic's not the only Galaxy S that'll be getting a nice surprise this month, claims the site. They say that all of you Fascinate owners should "keep your calendars clear on or about Feb. 22."
Considering all of the rumors and delays that have surrounded the Galaxy S Froyo updates, it's tough to believe anything new we hear on the situation, but this newest bit of speculation seems like it could be right on. After all, T-Mobile's Vibrant finally got updated to Android 2.2 late last month, and U.S. Cellular's Mesmerize is due to see the upgrade soon. We'll just have to cross our fingers (and our toes) and hope. Do you all think that we'll finally see two more Galaxy S Froyo updates later this month?
These threads are so getting old. If I wanted news I would go to engadget or like sites myself. BTW I seem to be running froyo already.
good day.
Thank you for posting first in the wrong section, then posting a duplicate thread again, in the correct section. You could have just waited for a mod to come along and move it instead...
He is literally doing this to spam his website links, I would think this should be a ban.

UK update

Has anyone in the UK got the recent update,everytime I check there is no update
Sent from the Beast that is the HTC One X in white......
Got enough posts and threads on this SO I am closing this one as it looks like this is old news now
THREAD CLOSED
Asus' Italian branch office posted two days ago on their facebook stream that the update for WW SKUs is held up pending approval by Google.
Take that with a grain of salt about the size of the Empire State Building, however, since at first they blamed excessive load on their servers, then they shifted the blame on Google
That and the fact that it doesn't seem to fix anything, maybe they have pulled it.

I think SEEM in the operative word, as it clearly fixes lots of things, but perhaps not what you want it to fix...

I think I read you can't do the OTA if you have CWM installed, and you have to install the stock recovery.
Did you try this?

This is the only problem I can't stand abt this phone.the updates are too slow..
It's a shame this is a great phone for the price
Hi!
Can anyone provide feedback about this update? Does it really improve things overall or also add other issues?
I have been holding myself from updating for a good week now x)
Hasn't added any issues that I've seen so far, and others have found it has cured the problem of music apps closing after 15 minutes.

Yeah. It seems like it was just a bug fix update which is fine. This is a very nice phone for the money. I've had no problems with mine since installing the update.

Fix problem "phone dont boot if facebook app insalled" and securiry update.
It's very disappointing they haven't given his phone a krack fix. Last security patch is October 2017. Embarrassing for a phone that came out in 2017. Neverbuying another zte phone.
I just got the b22 update, installing now. Security up to February 2018.
I have done the update. A few weeks after, I have an "optimising app X over X" every time the phone boots... That sucks

Android 7.1.1 Nougat for priv ?

anyone know When is Android 7.1.1 Nougat coming to priv?
no
I don't think that the Priv will ever get Nougat. I am starting to accept it.
I have interest in this topic as well.

Crackberry confirming no nougat. Very disappointing. And the keyone is a downgrade overall, so I guess it's time to go back to no keyboard because yet again no one makes them.

Sadly, no. It's nearly impossible to unlock bootloader on modern phones. I hope Google sees this phone and makes a pixel with a keyboard lol. Won't happen but one can dream!
So, Blackberry still wants to sell phones after treating "flagship" phone customers like this? I see the reason for not wanting to invest in a phone that few people use, but this hurts their reputation with existing customers who may want to upgrade.
