LG G7 ThinQ, no more updates? - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Just sold my G7, but my wife still uses her phone. The Android 10 landed in August, and after that, no security updates, or updates what so ever. I assume the phone has gotten its last update with the Android 10 + July security patch?

I believe so . Usaually non google phones get 2 years of os updates .
Bu I think I'll keep it and just flash evolutionx or another custom rom next year

Yep, this update ticket in on my wife's G7 today, just before i was about to factory reset it for sale. Some color changes in the dropdown icons menu from blue to green i noticed, not the first time they have changed the colors here if i remember correctly.

My question is similar: I got my Google Fi LG G7 ThinQ G710ULM back in 2018, and was able to updated to Android 9. In 2019, I switched over to T-Mobile since my phone was already GSM unlocked. Since then I have been stuck on Android 9. OTA update check tells me I am using the latest version, and LG Bridge says the same thing. How do I get stock Android 10 on my phone?
Many thanks.

G710ULM never got android 10 (why i don't know). But you can still flash firmware from another model via cross flash

Ugh. Would this require me to unlock bootloader, root, and the whole shabang? I've done it on my previous two phones and I am getting tired of doing stuff like that.

No you don't need. But i never did it because i didn't need it. It will be better if you will read carefully whole thread about it.

Got an 114mb update today. Anyone who got the same??

Yeah me too, imagine my surprise: V30H-EUR-XX. Strange, because it says security update: November 1, 2020. I don't know wth's going on..

The official site says 'call quality improvements', which might be related to a call-breaking bug of the Google app.
For the certain variants, the security patch will be 01.2021, I have the G710EM model, it's 11.2020 for me.

No difference
I spoke to Samsung and they said not all updates are carried over FOTA for some reason. I installed Kies and boom - Update Available. AWESOME.

Mine went onto MJ6 automatically when it loaded the set of updates when I first switched the tablet on. Still wondering when we in the UK will get the Update that removes the water effect to unlock :crying: going to miss it.
On a side "Note", I love how people on the Note forum use the S-Pen to highlight stuff we can clearly see. I guess because we can - we do.
I went on a mission taking screenshots and scribbling all over the place haha (Yeah am sad )

Latest OTA for AT&T?

I am still stuck on firmware 1.58 due to S-ON and I thought AT&T was rolling out an update to Android 4.4.4 but my phone can't find it.
Does anyone know why or how to update the firmware to something newer if I have S-ON? Thanks.

download the HTC Sync software and try doing a manual update. or you can just wait until the OTA gets pushed.
AT&T canceled the KitKat OTA because it was messed up. Not sure on the details, but I believe battery life was significantly worse.
Personally, I dumped AT&T's image and switched to the Developer Edition, and I've never looked back. However, if I needed to run AT&T's crap, I'd avoid their KitKat OTA and pray that they finally get around to releasing a Lollipop OTA instead.

HTC hands over technically approved code to AT&T they can load their bloatware crap on it. AT&T takes code informs everyone update will role out the next day, loads bloatware...

Have anyone received the v10b already?

I have bought a device in the LG store and it is a carrier free phone.
I have since already received the v10b software update / ROM
Have anyone received it yet? it is an OTA of something around 50MB size.
I just wished to know what it the changelog about this. I could not read anything about this anywhere.
I know LG was supposed to have enabled quick charge with this update, and it does charge way faster (apparently). But I think something else is in this patch.
Regards,
Santroph
Which version of the phone? I have the 815 and still 10a. Does your device charge at normal speed with the screen on?
How do you check version information v10b or v10a? I just had my phone restarted and updated with no prompts. I have the H81110h Tmobile....

S9 Pie to Oreo Downgrade info

Hello to everyone, I got an used S9 mod. SM-G960F/DS with android Pie preinstalled on it and I'm trying to revert it back to Oreo.
Is it possible? My actual build is G960FXXU4CSE3 and May 2019 security patches.
Thank you
No you cannot, and this has already been asked multiple times lately, reading would have given you the answer

Same post says it's possible through Odin, others says it's not so I asked just to be sure and not waste time trying.
Thank you anyway for your answer

Once the bootloader version has increased higher than the previous firmware you want to flash, you cannot, you cannot downgrade the bootloader
Your current firmware is version 4, Oreo is version 2
G960FXXU4CSE3
Only firmwares you can flash now are version 4 or higher
Hi,
I am currently not near my PC - and Sammobile tells me "maintenance" and "no result for SM-G960F", so I'll have to ask here: in January, did the Pie firmware still carry the "2"?
I dislike Pie a lot, so in April I ordered an S9 online from a dealer who, in the description, expressly wrote "Android 8.0".
When I received my device, it had Pie installed (January security patch); so I simply downloaded some Oreo firmware for my region, flashed it with Odin - and it worked.
I am now on LineageOS 15.1, and that also works flawlessly.

Yes, the Pie bootloader was version 2 until April security patch when it changed to version 3

Surely. But I have been trying for 2 days continuously. Same error happening all the time. This( screenshot ) also happening from the beginning.
Are you signed into your Mi account in the tablet? If you are....then it is definitely a server issue. It happens a lot with Mi servers.
If you are not signed in....then sign in...and restart your tablet.
I guess your tablet is running the stock firmware?
Yes I have already signed in. Yes it is stock firmware. Indian version. 2 days ago I bought the device. I didn't do anything with the software.

Hi sir, same thing with my side. I think it's because tablet came with latest version pre-installed. After you will get new update you can see update log afterwards because same thing was happened with my poco f1 when i bought it first time. Let's wait and see if it will be gone after new updates or not.
