Cannot update LG G3 software (stuck on V20a-EUR-xx) - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I've tried updating my phone to the latest software, however it tells me that "The latest software is already installed on this device.". I'm sure that the device has not been modified in any way, it was not rooted, ever.
Would anybody be able to help me?
Thanks.

How are you trying to update, OTA or using LG Tool 2014 with a .kdz firmware file?

Then your phone must have the latest firmware available for that particular model. Is the phone tied to a particular provider i.e EE, T-Mobile. Virgin etc. And which country are you in, because this can affect which firmware is available.

Go into settings on the phone, scroll down to about and check the software entry which will tell you which firmware is on the phone. As far as I know the latest for UK was D85520H which was on my G3. If you have a firmware with any later letter after D85520 then you will have the latest LP 5.0 firmware.
There is a little app on the Playstore called "LG From" which if you download and install then run it will tell youvwhat the latest firmware for your phone is.

Firmware update?

"sugaritos" posted today that he received a new firmware update from LG. Has anybody else seen this?
I looked at the LG Opensource Code site to see if any new version is posted. The one that's now showing is this one:
https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=NAME&search=LGV500
I'm not sure, because I didn't download it before, but I think this is the same version that first appeared a few weeks ago.
So, I'd be interested in knowing what changed in the update. Also, we need to make sure that nothing in the update will interfere with the boot loader exploit or the root methods.
I now stands <sw_version> V50010A_00 </ sw_version>

No i never had V50010A. i received the tablet with the V50010C firmware as stock. Later i understood that it was for the Korean market, as some lg applications are not in english..
But i think V50010A and V50010C are the same.. as also V50010B. if you see here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=39 the size of firmwares are different and i think that has to do with the bloatware that they have.
I have G Pad from Italy, stock is V50010A build JDQ39B, no update from App "update center".

Same situation here in Slovakia
Is there anyway of manually applying the update?
Are the root methods working after the upgrade?
Thanks

my gpad is bought in greece, has stock V50010A and no updates available
It seems that the new firmware update makes the pad a bit faster than the previous version. But nothing has changed. The blue line is there too.
This Update is only for the Korean firmware(V50010c-->V50010e) and it will come the next days to all G pads.
Here some screenshots from the new updated version. V50010e.
The only difference is that the korean g pad has Kweather widget and not accuweather. (For me here in greece this is not working properly as the location is not accurate. The accuweather is working better) Also there is weather forecast options only for Korea and this can not be changed. All these differences were from the previous version (v50010c)
Update: there is problem with the screenshots. see here:

Yes. dalingrins root method in android developers section is working with the new firmware version. The only problem is that ota updating causes bootloop if the previous version is rooted.
As of today the OTA udate is also available in the Netherlands.
It basically upgraded the software from version V50010a to V50010b.
No big changes.

Mine updated yesterday from 10a to 10b. I can confirm this in my device:
- bottom backlight bleeds dissapear after update
- blue line is still there
- bad sound with low volume is still there
I don't detect speed improvement or battery drain. Updated via OTA on a root device with original recovery. Device is still rooted after update.

I had the same problem. Download LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL and use it to install new firmware version. It won't wipe data. The only thing is that you will have to root gpad again.

I'm from Spain and my tablet is in Spanish so I don't know what it says exactly in English. I went to Settings > About this tablet > Software update > Check new Software and just aswer yes to everything.
Process downloads the update, reboots the tablet and starts a two steps update. Reboots again and starts to install Android updates as usual.
I use Linux so I didn't link the tablet to any LG software. I just used Windows once to root the device.

Still no KK for E975

Hey guys.
Are there still any regions in europe that hasn't recived KK until now?
I am from slovenia, no sign of update here. I contacted my operator, they said they don't have anything to do with it, that they will release it within few days when they get it. I also tried PC suite and LG mobile support tool, they both say i have latest SW installed.
I hope we won't be left behind.
PS, my OG is E97510J.
Im from Slovenia and I also dont have the update... We have to wait for SWS/Switzerland release, which isn't available yet.
Download the LG KDZ Flasher 2014 and flash the new kdz in download mode, it's practically risk free.

What's the latest rom for D855?

Hello guys.
I am really comfused with all the veraions and roms i see in this forum and other ones. I have d855 international 16 gb variant. I have v10h. What is the latest rom for this phone? And one more question. The updates goes alphabetical? Like v10a.b.c.d etc? Because I saw some people saying that they have v10i and when I search for updates via settings the phone says that i have the latest firmware.. Thanks in advance
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Enter your imei in the blank to view and download the latest update for your phone. And yes you can say that there's an alphabetic order in the versions.(With some exceptions)
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/
10i / 10j if you manually install from other threads on the forum.
Official updates like 10g for three network in UK available via the imei number mentioned above, or for example Vodafone UK 10k

{FIX} No Network After Update to MM {LG G3 D855}

Hello All,
After many attempts for several days to fix this problem after update to MM, i found this way and it's works perfect with me.
1.. Downgrade to lollipop 5.0
2. Root your device and install TWRP recovery
3. install CandySIX Rom
4. Try connect to your carrier network (at the first time it not give you anything ) , try several times
5. Reboot your device now , you will find that your phone connect to you 4G carrier
6. Install CloudyG3 2.5
7. Enjoy
And now everything works well and the problem resolved.
I tried this fix but id didn't work for me.
I have an LG D855 which I bought from China as EU model. Unfortunately it is probably not.
After I install Lollipop, I get the well known "Current version not avaliable for user!" message. Then I installed CandySIX ROM (the latest 1.1 version) and I got the same problem as with CyanogenMod. If my SIM is inserted the phone will hang (with screen shut down) a few seconds after boot. Without SIM everything works fine.
Which versions of ROMs (stock 5.0, CandySix) did you use? Any other advises what should I try?

You had a D855 Taiwan version not a Euro version !
Try to use LG Phone From app to check manufacturer/production information, latest KDZ about your phone

Sorry for my late reply. I was at holliday and didn't have time to check it until now. I don't think my phone is a Taiwan version. According to IMEI the region code is A6GBTN. So it should be a Great Britain phone I believe.
I checked what is the latest firmware for my phone, downloaded the KDZ and installed it using LGUP. But I'm getting the same error. I do believe my "misc" partition is messed up. What could I do?

you need to try all possible ways to fix it including my way.

Updating to Nougat

Hello.
I live outside US and want to update to Nougat.
I've browsed through the threads and I think I need these files, but the link is dead.
I can't find n920aucu4eqc6 version anywhere and I've got N920AUCS4CQB2 on my phone. Can I use a newer version or should I flash C6 by all means?
