It seems Google mistakenly pushed VZW firmware as the "latest" update, so it's a Google side problem that should be resolved with the December update.
If you're not using a Verizon branded device, it's not recommended that you install this firmware.
Thanks to @MishaalRahman for discovering this.

Yup, I read this article that had Mishaal Rahman's Twitter post in it: Google accidentally sends Verizon-only Android 12 build to some users worldwide. Whoops! by Arol Wright
Does anyone know the difference between the regular version and the Verizon version? I switched from Verizon to Xfinity and installed the latest non-verizon and after reboot I checked for a update and sure enough there was one. The phone updated to the Verizon version. I forgot that Xfinity uses the Verizon network.

As far as I can tell, the only difference is the baseband version.

today indian version got 8.1 update. cant we get that ROM?
ive tried using vpn for china and mine still says system up to date ,mine is on 7.1.1 nov 6th security patch,i think its cos our phone has unofficial playstore app that it wont update. there is a mena firmware update which it says is for our variant on nokia 6 forum but nobody has said if it definitely for second gen ta-1054 ,if it is you could flash it and install all updates manually ,but im waiting untill someone lets me know if its legit has i dont want to brick my new phone
There was one rom in the nokia-6 MENA method, but I could not get it on my phone tho, also no reply on the topic for solution.
I sent back the chinese one, and ordered a global version from amazon.
But after a while there should be systems dumps, or updates to flash.
Anyone else tried flashing mena 2nd gen firmware from Nokia 6 link ?

Did you try it, or?
I've tried it numerous times always fails log says cannot flash locked device
Any progress?
Ive tried installing the latest play store APK as well as China VPN and India/Netherlands as they have started to receive their 8.1 updates (apparently) but nothing.
Im stuck on 7.1.1 and the Nov 2017 security update.
Also, has anyone else tried USB/WiFi/BT tethering...none of these are working (AUS on Telstra). Has anyone else tried?
It worked fine on Oppo phone so its not the carrier and I have checked the APN info.
Another Q..
If the phone is unlocked, would you be able to flash the RoW firmware thats currently being rolled out or are you limited to the (not currently available) TA-1054 only?
Nokia Model: TA-1054 is this version china or global
got a TA-1054 here today in China. Updated 6 times all the way to 8.1.0 without issue.
once bootloader unlocking is available you can flash global firmware just be patient bud
@safron35. Yep..but my reason for wanting the update is so i get tethering. Currently at 7.11 all the tethering (wifi, USB and BT) on my phone is broken. I've had to resort back to using my Oppo until I can get it working as I need this functionality for my work.
@pola..Thanks for the heads up..I'll try connecting my VPN to a Chinese server again and see how it goes.
Anyone know what they use as a check/verification for location?
The ta-1054 is Chinese custom ROM if its on 7.1.1 Nov patch and will not update until you unlock bootloader and flash original firmware ,no matter what you try
Ah..got it. Thx for the info.
Another Q if that's ok? ....if it's had a custom F/W flashed this would mean it's already had its bootloader unlocked yes?
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.

Hi, I just got my g8 from a swappa seller a couple days ago, LM-G820QM which I gather is the unlocked version (after calling lg to verify the imei is what it was advertised as and not just a random carrier unlocked phone). I saw on some threads here that people have up to sept/october updates on their carrier locked phones. Im curious as to what security patch your phones are on and what version the phone is. Im a bit surprised that I am still stuck on the april update with being carrier unlocked
Probably your G8 is the Amazon unlocked version which is the worst in updates
Mine is T-mobile version and I just received October security patch

I checked all system packages and apps and no traces of any amazon apps so I am a bit skeptical that I would have that version considering amazon makes their apps part of the system package. I figured having an unlocked non carrier version would be faster with updates than carriers but apparently not, no idea what lg is doing here :/

Hello! I see a ton of us firmwares out there. Did you try searching for your specific model and flash it with LG-UP? It takes 1-2 minutes to flash it...

I can't find any LG firmware website that actually has any firmware for the LG G8 LMQ710ULM (amazon) model. If you know of a place that has it please let me know.
FYI I'm still on April 2019 security patch...the update situation is just retarded on this phone
I'm also on APRIL 1, 2019 security update. Unlocked US version purchased at Best Buy. It appears only the carrier versions of this phone have received any updates.
I ended up returning the phone because of this issue. Its really mind boggling how carrier phones get updates but unlocked does not and especially from a 'big name' company like LG.. Maybe things have changed since I last modded phones a few years ago (just before a/b updates became a thing) but I thought the manufacturer had to make an update(which unlocked can use and get directly), then pushes it to carriers to add their bloa-.. apps* and then it goes to carrier phones. This was the reason why we had issues and delays with carrier updates in the first place. Regardless I wish you guys luck with future updates if they ever decide to push.
Just to also clarify on a previous comment, I have checked all g8 thinq models that end in QM (the unlocked versions) on their support page and the only firmware listed is april. Even connecting lg bridge does nothing with updates since nothing has actually been released by lg . _.

The Amazon G8 is the LM-G820QM, not the LMQ710ULM (not even a G8, or any of the G series model number), all G8's are LM-G820 with the specific variant added to the end (TM for T-Mobile, etc) the LMQ710ULM is the LG Stylo 4. If you're looking for firmware for that phone you might want to try looking in the right forum

LM-G820QM is also the non-Amazon version of the G8. Oddly enough Amazon G8 users are reporting updates, but I still don't have an updated for the non-Amazon LM-G820QM.
Finally got a security update! Wow, took long enough!
Android 10 Is HERE, LG G8 820QM Amazon Version
Android 10 is here! Yesterday 24/02/2020 Amazon has released the Android 10 Stable update for the LG G8 820QM, there are stability improvements, camera improvements and overall device fluency!
^ android 10 also breaks themes, adds a hideous unremovable "frequent apps" dock on recent apps screen, broke some nova actions, etc.
I recommend everyone having trouble with updates to go to the LG website and download "LG Bridge". install usb drivers plug it in and go to software update and see if it finds anything. I literally searched for android 10 update via FOTA 2 minutes before trying on LG Bridge and it found nothing, LG Bridge hooked me up in about 3 minutes, running android 10 now.
Unfortunately here 28.02.2020 still no update via OTA or LG Bridge.
But I use my LM-G820QM in Germany! According to LG Support, I don't get any updates or support here!
I have no idea how to do the update!

So is one plus just not going to release full versions of OxygenOS for AA model? Basically no way to update to 11.2.4.4 on Global model as far as I know...
yeah man I know I'm still on 11.2.2.2 waiting on a full update because I'm rooted.
Global always seems to take longer for it's updates
I got the update on Global a couple days ago for what it is worth.
Really where are you located? Carrier?

What do you mean "release"? On their download page? They always take ages to put build on there (if they even do).
If you want a full release then install Oxygen Updater and set it to your regional OP9P then set full update, you'll usually end up getting it downloaded quicker than OTA

I do. The latest full update Oxygen Updater is showing is 11.2.2.2. I have 11.2.3.3 (because I rooted after installing that OTA) and I HAVE the 11.2.4.4 OTA already, but I can't install it for obvious reasons. Hence the original question. There's no way to update a rooted Global Variant without going back to stock.
I received it a few days ago. 2125 on TMobile..
Is that op9, the pro is 2127 correct?

If that question was to me, I have the Pro and it is the unlocked 2125 variant purchased directly from OnePlus. I am new to OnePlus so my nomenclature might be off.

Nope your right sorry. I was thinking about the tmo version. Carry on.
People need to stop saying they got the update for 11.2.3.3AA and 11.2.4.4AA. We are all talking about the Full OTA as many of us are currently rooted on 11.2.2.2. Those that are on 11.2.3.3 or 11.2.4.4 are either unrooted or are using the EU/In versions. I for one will wait until AA is available.

This is inaccurate. I'm rooted, AA variant, AA update, 11.2.4.4
The forum is littered with threads about taking the incremental OTAs rooted.

Exactly incremental OTA, I stated about the Full OTA. 11.2.3.3 and 11.2.4.4 are not out yet, and people have mentioned not being able to even install the incremental OTA. I for one haven't tried to unroot, take the incremental OTA and re-root. Payload dumper will not extract the boot.img from the incremental OTA therefore I can not re-root. Can I ask how you re-rooted without having the untouched boot.img to patch and boot?
Just got the update this morning. I am on T-Mbile and was not on Beta.
Thank you! I just got it also on TMOB!

I have an unlocked (direct from Samsung at launch) G4F that I use primarily with T-Mobile. I use my eSIM for that line and have a physical SIM card from VZW for work.
If I use the above link to install the TMB version, that'll convert me from SM-F936U1 to U, right? Any downsides?
