i think that official update will be available JUST for the 2017 model, not for the 2016.
i recommend to change your phone model because the development in this particular model is so hard because the chipset (Mediatek).
i looking for other models because of it
Thats is a load of good thanks LG

But surely the 2016 models should handle nougat perfectly because its dual core 1.30Ghz and it has 1.5Gb of ram

sure, i have no doubt of it, but there is something called MARKETING. to LG it's not convenient roll out the nougat update for the 2016 model. They prefer sell us a new phone, with ALMOST the same features/specifications but with a new software and more expensive.
Thats what you call lg being lazy

LG really is lazy and cant be bothered to release nougat for all K8 users but in about a years time someone is going to release lineage OS for the phone if all developers is reading this please release lineage OS for this phone please!

Don't think any mediatek device from lg will be updated to nougat, maybe only the one that will be released with this version

Okay thanks for that
Now nougat is coming on the phone
I have just read up on the gsmarena it comes with 6.0 marshmallow and it is upgradable to 7.0 nougat so it has arrived finally
For Verizon variant, yes. That variant came with 6.0.1 initially, ours is 6.0. I don't believe global or any other variant will receive Nougat. Let's hope I'm wrong Well, maybe someone can port Verizon variant, but I'm not sure if basebands will work.

Verzion and AT & T (LG Phoenix 2) got nougat, they get it because of verzion and at&t, also I think they have Qualcomm chipsets..
Edit: yes, I'm right those are Qualcomm variants of k8, bull****...

Then porting is also next to impossible, different chipsets even though this device lacks space, it's a great device, too bad there are no custom roms for it...
Was really hoping for Nougat on the 2016 version, it's really not fair to abandon OS of a phone that's been out for a year.

I got update on my K8 like month ago but it wasn't anything major, it was some bugs fix and/or performance enhancement. So my guess is that they still care about the device? I'm not honestly sure. Will see.

Hi sorry if this has been asked before but new to the Moto g5 I purchased the device from Argos so it has the retgb software channel I have looked on Moto website and it doesn't give exact information about software update for UK g5 so I'm asking is there anything at all for the UK g5 there is no update what so ever stuck on 7.0 1st January patch
I've got the G5 3GB Dual Sim version from Amazon UK, also retgb, i'm on the same patch as you. Jan 2017.
Looking on the Motorola forum's, it seems our retail devices haven't been updated at all.
If there is no update when you select it from the about phone section then there is no update
Updates roll out in waves & is based on
Phone variant
Region
Retail or branded/carrier
Security update is available for some variants in certain regions
When will you get an update? No one at xda (or even Motorola support) would be able to tell you so no point in asking
Other than security patches there's no other improvements
So am I best off going custom on this bad boy

If you want updates custom ROMs best no one knows when Moto will release source or it gets leaked

They didn't ask when an update will come out, they asked if anyone had received an update on that channel. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable query to me.
The oreo update gets a thinq software as well. Size is around 1.5gb.
That was always there in Oreo. I mean Thinq branding
Has the Indian version started getting the update? Are you confirming that you have gotten the update?
Yes i have reveived the update.

I already posted full India Oreo KDZ. You could have had it long before now.
All LG V30 OREO has ThinQ.
_____
India/Philippines/Indonesia is all the same KDZ, with the same md5. It auto-detects what hardware you have and installs the specific country stuff. India service app is installed for India H930DS.
I uploaded both the "Philippines" KDZ (but it's also the official India and Indonesia Oreo) as well as uploading "India" KDZ -- all prior to today. See down in development section.
Everyone could have had this since June 21, instead of July 11. Simple installation via LGUP.
And yes, I will probably keep saying this as long as people keep posting the India Oreo is "now" available. I made it available WEEKS ago and repeatedly tried to educate people about this. A few listened and have had India Oreo for WEEKS.
Hi,
I read different information regarding the Pie update of European models. I heard that that it is cancelled in US except of Verizon. But how does it look like with unlocked EU phones? Will we get the update or not? Does anybody know.
The promise to get Pie update was one of the reasons why I bought the phone. Now I feel tricked if we won't get it (and I assume it is the case).
I could get an unofficial update but then I'll loose Google Pay, my bank applications will not work anymore etc. Unlocking the bootloader is not an option for me.
But unlocking bootloader is the only one option for ATT users.

This device will be upgraded to the Android 9 (Pie) release of Android, pending partner support.
I bought my s21 fe today from a trusted company. It came with android 12 and one ui 4.1 and security patch October 2022 which is really old. There are no updates for some reason. I updated it through smart switch but the security patch didn't change. The phone isn't rooted or unlocked or anything. It's brand new from a company I bought many phones. Also some things feel off like minor lagging or things that shouldn't be happening on a premium phone. What can I do?

You might want to consider sideloading the latest firmware update.
But before that, you must
1. Find your Model name & CSC Code using Phone INFO ★SAM★ 3.8.5 or just go to about phone
2. Download your firmware using Frija
3. Flash the latest firmware using SamFw Tool
