LG G7 Android 9.0 - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Has anyone actually received Android Pie OTA yet? Because there was a load of articles saying the rollout started in January and I haven't got anything yet.

I got it since 17th January, but my device is korean version.

when will rollout for international version?

I am not sure, but as announcement it will come to 1st quarter of this year.

The first quarter ends in 12 days yet no update... Such a shame, will never buy an LG phone again ? very disappointed especially since this is supposed to be a flagship

1q anouncement whas for korean. Might take upp to 6 month if even at all.

And beta for Android Q was just released! This is ridiculous.

The LG G6 was one of the first phones to get Android Oreo, and now they are this slow with updates..

It's because they want you to buy there lg g8 once that's dropped we will get 9 mark my words lol this will be my last lg such a shame

GREAT

Just ordered USA unlocked (G710ULM). More questions to follow.

Just ordered USA unlocked (G710ULM) Platinum Grey. Why no news of bootloader unlock since 2 months of launch? What's the duration of LG's previous flagships which got bootloader unlock?
The purchase is from B&H, freebies like AVODA Case & Tempered Screen.
is there statistics where how many have purchased total LG G7s worldwide as per variants (G710ULM vs G710EU sales).
We know LG G7 sold more than LG G6 during launch, surprisingly the USA unlocked (US997) got bootloader unlocked around a month after launch.
Is LG busy with LG V40 launch? Also must be busy rolling out Android 9..0 Pie by Q4 of 2018.

Can the b&h g7 be rooted?

Any chance at unlocking and rooting the b&h g7?

The main reason I bought the USA unlocked G710ULM is to wait for the official bootloader unlock from LG. Unlike the US997 LG G6 is enjoying root, I'm surprised and upset that the USA unlocked LG V30 (US998) and now the LG G7 (G710ULM) has no word from LG. They just want us to purchase the European unlocked, which is more expensive , they are out of my price range in buying my favorite LG flagship. The US variant is reasonably well priced where as the European variants aren't. 11th July was the launch of the G710ULM and 4 months nothing from LG.

Gonna be honest I don't think we're getting anything from LG. I think we're on our own for this one

UK Release?

Does anyone know for sure if the G8 is coming to the UK? If so, will it be available on carriers or will we have to buy it outright? I've heard very little about the release of this phone.

Huh?
I've heard of a mid-April SIM free release date - probably from Carphone Warehouse as they also did the V30 & G7 SIM free.
Probably no VoLTE or VoWiFi support in the UK due to carriers not officially supporting the phone - LG seem to prefer to turn the options off / remove them from firmware completely rather than leaving them as some other manufacturers do.

LG really make some confusing decisions. Why would they disable features that make the phone infinitely better. Urgh!

They've done it on the last few handsets - you end up having to root the phone and then hack the firmware to turn (core) features back on.
Based on this alone, I think this is going to be the first year in the last 10 that I won't be buying an LG phone!

That's really sad, for both LG and you. I really want this phone so I can play with the sound display and air gestures, but not at the expense of standard tech which even dumb phones are starting to ship with.
What are you likely to switch to?

It's nonsensical and incredibly disappointing.
What an absolute crock. All we got is a watered down version that I won't be buying. Looks like you've lost a loyal customer LG.
It's official, the LG G8 isn't getting a UK release.
That said, Wonda Mobile is importing and selling the Korean version.
Is it safe to buy a Korean version and then using it in UK?

It is indeed.
The LG G8s LMG810EMW is the same as the Korean version and if available in a few weeks might be better to get this option. With the Korean version it will work but there will be some quirks with it.
There is no information about G8's at all ....
The reason i wanted to get g8 from Korea because it has a triple camera
Of course I'd rather buy the EU version.
I dont know why LG does not make the same models everywhere.
Just get the G8 from Wonda
I would consider selling my Canadian variant. I'm a Brit living here in Canada at the moment. Let me know if anyone is interested. Dual camera unfortunately. I only got it 4 days ago but thinking about going back to my s7 for the time being. Too much phone for me.

LMV350AWM AT&t PIE Beta: LMV350AWM-V18g-310-410-MAR-22-2019-ARB00 was tested on March 22, 2019.
LG might finish the V19a by the end of April, and it should be ready for OTA in May.
Anyway, AT&T will add its bloatware on the final Android PIE firmware for LG V35.

You can repeat this news till you're blue in the face. Until we get it on our phones, it's another case of LG or LG promoters "crying wolf". I read Q4 2018. I read Q1 2019. I read Q2 2019. I've seen the way LG is supporting this device. It's a forgotten "x.5" V series. Not a v30, not a v40. A phone made for ATT and GFi only.

I agree but there is an unlocked version which just adds to the poor support on LG's part.

Exactly. The fi version is the unlocked, isn't it? The fact that Google sold me a phone that can't be bootloader unlocked angers the hell out of me!

Yes, what's the point of having a treble enabled phone if lg prevents unlocking the bootloader in the first place. Lol

I mean there's at least 3 models. I bought mine fully carrier unlocked from Best buy. 4 if you count the Amazon one.
AT&T, Amazon, Fi, unlocked.
Yeah it's BS LG suddenly and quietly stopped allowing bootloader unlock. I wouldn't have considered this phone if I knew.

And Latin America countries.
Brazil has 128GB V35+ and other countries have V35.
There's a V35+?!? LG just floods the market with flagship spec'd devices and provides no upgrades. I'm never buying an LG again.

Yeah, you'll find articles where originally AT&T was supposed to sell both V35 and V35+... But for some reason chose to only sell V35. Brazil has it, but I can't find anyone on eBay selling it. Some other Latin American countries have V35.

Hello, do you know how to extract files from an OTA Update file (Dot up)
I have this LMV350AWM-V12e-310-to-LMV350AWM-V18g-310.up
V12e is the last update based on Oreo for AT&T LG V35

You can flash .up files in LG UP, but if you post it someplace, I can extract it and turn it into a TWRP flashable zip for the folks that have TWRP.
Edit: I will need a dump of the 12e firmware as well since it is a diff.
Edit2: Actually we really need that since it is a beta, it may have an engineering laf, and that may be the key to rooting these without using a firehose.

Thanks, I am trying to download it. But, My sources said i should not make it public. LG may block the access if LG knows we share the beta on XDA forum

LG G7 ThinQ Android 9 update problem

I have an LG G7 ThinQ phone that won't get the android 9 update.... it keeps saying that I'm already using the latest version of the software... well, that's frustrating, 'cause I know other LG G7 ThinQ owners that got the android 9 months ago... please help...
Your phone is probably crossflashed.
Did you by it from ebay amazon etc or secondhand....

Romania, but I don't think that that affects the pie update... I know someone that lives in the same neighborhood as I do, has a phone just like mine (LG G7 ThinQ), we bought the devices only a few days apart, and he received his pie update in june + other updates since then (security patch and others)... and I haven't received any of those... does it have anything to do with the model number or the telecommunications company? My model number is LM-G710EM... the company is Telekom... I looked up my IMEI on imei.info and everything seems ok, no counterfeit or anything like that...
Check your ime number and Se if its not crossflashed
Som retailers is shady country's like rumania crossflash sprint phones and sells them as 710em. Thay will nog get security ore pie updates. U whold be surprised what company's do to make money.

I checked my IMEI on imei.info site and it seems to be valid... the PhoneInfo app also indicates that the IMEI is valid, everything looks fine, but I still can't get the android pie update... I even tried the LG Bridge and it doesn't work...
Having the same problem here. Wrote an Email to the LG Support via the LG Website with my IMEI. Turned out that i got a Demodevice that canĀ“t be updated. Did you try to flash a Pie KDZ ?
The phone I have was misrepresented as an unlocked phone, come to find out that it was a cross flashed Sprint phone. I sent it in to LG to have it repaired. They wanted $365 to fix it. I got ripped off as the seller sold it as an unlocked phone. Now I'm stuck with a phone that won't update and cannot use Google Pay. LG isn't going to help either.
