Hi, I just bought this phone (H960A), but unfortunately seller told me that he bought it with a contract from one of Polish mobile operator. It will be probably bloated with many their apps, and there will be no marshmallow update for a long time.
Is it possible to flash 100% stock rom? I want get update directly from LG.
And btw, is there any way to obtain a root in marshmallow? I read a plenty of threads and I didn't find any answer.

I think the MM OTA update is already available for your V10 variant.

But I'm talking about branded roms. Because of this, my father for example got the lollipop update for note 3 in the end of 2015...

It doesn't matter if it's branded or not. There is a MM update available for euro version of H960A. Just install LG drivers and LG Bridge, plug in the phone to your pc and update via LG Bridge. If, for some reason, you don't get the update like that than go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/official-software-h960a-v20a-t3354304. Download the kdz file and install with LGUP.

Hello,
I bought an LG OPTIMUS P509 from eBay and it has the T-Mobile Stuff on it which is annoying.
I heard gingerbread (andriod 2.3) is coming out for my phone in the last week of this month. So will they have a generic version of the firmware without any T-Mobile or any Providers stuff?
Im not sure but from what i have read it is tmobile is providing the update it has already been released in italy but if i were you i would ust root install a custom recovery and then install a custom ROM simply because any official update will be just as crappy even if it is gingerbread and there are really nice fast ROMs with no bloat ware if you need help just PM me of post a message i will diect you to some links

Last week of this month? Where did you read this?
Gingerbread will be launched in July... it isn't available in Italy, it's just that the guys from LG Italy posted a youtube video of LG Optimus One running Gingerbread and also confirmed the July date.
There's already a thread about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072511.
T-Mobile may be delaying it even more, since it probably wants to add its apps&crap to it...

I had a go at this article long ago (March), but its more like speculations according to me. It only says;
Code:
Now, thanks to LG India we know that the update will most likely be happening in May.
There's no more details
Yeah, most of internet sources say end of may. But i dont think, that you will have to install T-mobile stock rom.
I have heard on an article on tmonews that the T-Mobile LG Leon will receive the Marshmallow update. Did anyone get it yet? http://www.tmonews.com/2016/12/t-mobile-lg-g4-security-update-lg-leon-marshmallow/

Yes it was supposedly released on December 5, 2016 for OTA push but so far I have been unable to get it I've tried using the LG PC Suit but it just say's I already have the latest version same thing phone route according to T-Mobile the version is 6.0.1 and the update version number is just H345K which seems short and when searching the LG servers I'm not able to even find a rom for the 345 that ends with K the latest version is J so I really don't know what is going on but hoping I will be able to get it soon have you had any luck?
Same here. Phone's update software and LG PC Suite both identify H34510J as current

T-mobile lied I just got done installing this upgrade which it is not it is only and update to version 10k Android 5.1.1 I'm a little P.Oed with T-Mobile right now for wasting my time and hopes with this Android 6.0.1 upgrade BS. I switching to Sprint FU T-Mobile
T-Mobile LEON update to 6.0 is delayed. No time given by T-Mobile when it will be released. Latest security google update is "k" and is available now.

I've been using the RS988 G5 on Verizon since last month (that BHPhoto had on sale for $399, due to my old Note 4 DE having issues). For the price, it is a good phone, but I'm not liking the fact that it appears LG will not be upgrading it to Nougat, leaving it on 6.0.1 with months old security patch.
At this point, I'm not sure if I should just keep it for now and wait and see how the new phones are this year (G6, S8, Note 8, V30), or return it while I still can to BHPhoto and pick up something else. I could go with something used on Swappa (such as the Verizon branded G5 or V20 that both have 7.0) for around the same $400 or slightly more.
I'm so frustrated as you are... i live in argentina and a friend of mine brought me from this variant instead of a H850/830 as i requested but is such a good phone, i can't really complain
It's like a forgotten variant... i wonder if LG itselft knows it exists
Recieved the update

Is this notification actually for Nougat, or perhaps for just a more current security update? The size seems too small for the Nougat update is why I ask.
Update: I just downloaded and installed the 554.17MB update and it was the latest security update (2017-01-01) in s/w version RS98811d. Maybe Nougat will come in the next weeks/months.
I'm downloading the "d" firmware, but really slow even with my 175Mbps Comcast connection, so not sure where the LG Software Update Server is.
Too bad it still isn't Android Nougat, but at least it is the Jan 2017 security update. So there is still hope I guess.
Update:
Finished the download and install. Visually, can see no difference from the "c" version.
Sorry

Sorry i was excited...bur after installing i came to know that it was a security update
It looks like there is a RS988 Nougat Source Code listed here:
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=lgrs988
But at the start of May, I'm doubtful we'll ever get it.
I had thought about going with the unlocked G6, but not any more, as LG is pretty bad about updates on their Unlocked devices.
I have read somewhere that they told a consumer that the RS988 would be updated in May, seeing the source code is a good sign I guess

LG Replies (So Far)
I decided to periodically email LG about the Nougat update. My first email received this reply:
<<LG>>
Good day! Thank you for getting in touch with LG Email Services and letting us know about your concern. It’s our pleasure to assist you with your inquiry!
As far as we know and according to the list of updates we found on the following page, there has been an update for the RS988 phone model to Nougat 7.0 that was released this past 24th of March.
Software Updates are generally pushed into devices by the carriers or service providers (e.g. US Cellular, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) that phones are locked with over-the-air (OTA). Factory unlocked phones have no connections to these updates and receive updates through LG via OTA or a software update tool instead.
If you haven't received any notifications about recent software updates on your phone, please try to check for and download the latest update for your unlocked phone via the LG Bridge application. You may download and use this application on a computer from the following page.
Please follow the step-by-step instructions under the ‘PC Sync’ section of the page above.
<</LG>>
My 2nd email brought this response:
<<LG>>
According to the information that we got from our product specialists, unlocked phones should receive an update from LG Over-The-Air once available for the unit. LG OTA updates for unlocked phones have to pass through multiple Quality Checks for several carrier networks or service providers before their release so it takes a considerable amount of time in between releases compared to phones locked with a specific carrier.
Should you require further assistance or for any other concerns, please do not hesitate to email us back. We’re more than happy to help you the best we can.
Feel free to contact us also via Live Chat or Phone by dialing 1-800-793-8896.

I have the unlocked rs988 and have not yet received the update yet. I checked on the phone and on lg bridge.
Checking every couple of hours will update here if the nougat update ever shows up. ?
There is an update on lg-firmware.com for the rs988 released on 4-27 anyone try it and see if its nougat

Yes its Nougat with Android Security Patch Level of March 01, 2017.
When I updated using the LG Flash Tool, it had to reformat the partitions (user, system ...). Therefore I lost my old data.
I backed up my data before upgrading. Will try to restore using the LG backup tool and report back later.
Don't you need the rs988 dll file to flash. If so where did you find it

I used the LG Update tool from the link below.
Selected the upgrade radio button, followed by the kdz file and let the installation go through.
Again please backup as your data might be lost after the upgrade. To be on the safe side please remove sd card too.

This worked fine for me. I'm not the owner of any these files hence I cannot take responsibility if anything goes wrong. Please use it at your own risk
everything seems to be working had to factory reset like you said but just glad to finally have Nougat. Thanks

I guess the April upload is the Nougat one.
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-rs988-firmwares/
I've been checking my G5 RS988 every day, and still no OTA Nougat update on it. I'd rather go that route as it (should) keep system data & apps in place, instead of doing the update via the LG Software which wipes/formats user data & apps.
I am on verizon and I can confirm the RS98810h_01_0303.kdz from lg-firmwares.com works on my RS988. I performed a backup and update with the tools and drivers provided in AUTOPrimes post linked below. Once I updated the device, I simply loaded the backup tool and restored my device, sms and apps appeared right back to the state they were before. My only question is that the firmware is listed as BPT (brightpoint), will this still include the same bands listed under the unbranded USA rs988?

You didn't say which G5 you've got, but all KDZ files for the H850 can be found here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/
If it's not the H850, click on the "LG G5" link in the LG Series column on the right hand side of the H850 page for more models.
H850
I got the h850 and the newest update is not on this page... the bridge says the newest update is called H85020b and i can't find it for EU or German.. can't update my LG too... and the support from LG doesn't know how to fix my phone... so....

If you've rooted your phone, that's probably why the OTA update failed. To get the OTA update you'll first have to flash one of the stock KDZ files posted for your phone, accept and install the OTA update to get the latest firmware, after which you can TWRP your phone with fastboot and flash SU.

my phone isn't and wasn't rooted.. so idk where the problem is.. i tried the IMEI kdz finder and they don't work as well so i can't find the kdz for my phone... D: maybe it's because i flashed a kdz with flashtool before (my phone is vodafone branded and i didn't know that i baught it from amazon from the original LG... and i got an branded device so i installed an open EU kdz..
@N0!Z3 ExPl0
this could be the reason because you didn’t find 20b on LG firmware sides. 20b seems to be a "vodafone only" update!
as i know, this problem appears because your phone is a vodafone brandet phone!
You have to debrand your phone if you want to use other firmware for it. Ask Google!

Hello all,
I recently purchased V60 with model number V600TM. I'm outside of US.
And it stuck on Android 10 with security patch on February 2020.
Any recommendation, please?
Can anyone confirm if i can use this method here?
How to Flash Stock Firmware on LG Smartphone ? - LG-Firmwares.com
Tutorial how to flashing LG device. Change or update Firmware on LG phones.
lg-firmwares.com
That method using LGUP is totally fine but you need the firmware for 600TM. Android 12 is not available for download from the site yet.
Hello,
received yesterday my unit with Android 10 and with exactly you issue: unable to apply the downloaded OTA update.
There are 3 types of TM software otas or roms, there is tmobile, us cellular, and canadian so make sure you downloed the rom that has the initials TMO next to it.
I updated my TM version v60 to A12 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lmv600tm-restore-ugrade-guide-a12.4447457)
After that I can get OTA but cannot install successfully (P.S. bootloader is unlocked and the device is rooted)

Use a vpn and you will get updates
Let me repeat myself:
If you are rooted, OTA will not happen. Your phone will download the update but not complete the updating. The advice to use LGUP for partition restoration will NOT help! First, you will lose your rooted status and two, OTA will not succeed. Bringing you back to square one.
