Hello,
I have a LG K8 with android 6.0.1 (Verizon prepaid) and a RCA Voyager III with android 7.1.2 that I want to update to newer android versions since there are no more factory updates. If the tablet screws up I don't really care, but I need to be able to use my activated phone. Is there a way to manually update the android version without messing them up?
Thanks

Hello,
You can Follow the LG K8 Developments Page on this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k8/development
Although there are no Custom ROMs listed on the development page, you can search the Internet for the same. The page had MIUI ROM for the devices, but the link was removed due to Thread Owner posting PPC links. :crying:

Our beloved device LG V400 G PAD, is currently undergoing difficulties. It possibly will not be updated for ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP - I contacted the manufacturer, who said we should perhaps wait for a chance to get 5.0. So I created this thread, trying to summon help to develop a device with compatible rom. I hope you can get attention. :angel:
Yes im waiting too. LG please give us Android 5 Lollipop. We waiting!
I mailed lg uk.This is what they told me:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact LG in relation to your V400. I have had a look into this for you and I can confirm that there are no plans to release Lollipop on this tablet. It may be something that we look at later on in 2015 but I cannot guarantee this.
I do apologise for the inconvenience caused but I hope that has at least clarified the situation for you."
Got this from LG USA
Thank you for your email to LG Electronics!
First of all, I would like to express my sincere apology for the inconvenience that this one is causing you and for late response on the email you sent on 03/19/2015 due to high volume of emails that we are receiving on a daily basis.
about the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop version your tablet V400 (7.0 display g-pad) is upgradable to that Android OS it’s just that your phone were originally made using 4.4 KitKat version as this software OS is made compatibly with the features and interface of the tablet to have the appropriate speed and battery life. In upgrading to the latest Android OS please be aware that it will affect the battery life and speed performance of your tablet so make sure that you anticipated this situation as early as now before considering upgrading your tablet to the one that it’s not originally made for.
Sooner or later your tablet will receive an update asking you to upgrade it to Lollipop OS once your tablet connected to WiFi or 4G. Just make sure that when performing a system update on your tablet it should be fully charged.
Google telephone number is 8558363987 in case you need to know more about Android Lollipop OS as they are the ones developed the software.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concern.
Thank you for choosing LG and have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much man!
2 more questions, if I can; How did you install Lollipop, by OTA update or installing the .kdz file? And have you successfully installed any custom recovery or Xposed?
Thanks again!!
I had an update problem, fault of a compromised file or similar, so I had to hard reset and updated with LG mobile support tool.
But a friend of mine has update by OTA with no sort of problem and rooted with the one click method mentioned above
Hello, to put it simple, i got a new phone(my first smart/android phone) it's a Huawei y5 ii (Cun-L01), I saw that it's 5.0 OS ver. so i was wondering can i update it to Android 7.0 nougat?
i google it but all the sites didn't seem trustworthy enough.
can i even update android OS on a phone that came with an older version?
when i click update on the settings nothing happens, does that mean Lolipop android is the max my phone can use?
Thanks for any help i may get

Nothing official for Y5 higher than LP, but search xda for 'huawei y5 ii', and you see several posts about root and recovery. Someone could build LOS or something...
Hi there,
Probably a silly question, I have a SGP312 and it is on Lollipop since 3 years, do you think is there a way to upgrade to the latest Android 8.1?
If not 8.1, what would be the highest version I can go and how?
The Tablet is essentially a stock one, I never did anything on it, just applied the Sony updates they made available for this old model.
Thank you,
Alex

Hello!
It's quite possible to install even the latest 8.1, though it is still not that stable now.
If you want 99% bug-free experience, i would stick to android 7.1.2, like Resurrection Remix ROM till 8.1 gets to a polished state.
Check this guide for installing custom ROMs on device.
Thank you for the link!
I will give it a try very soon.

Hi buddies,
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Model: SGP321) with Lollipop v5.0.2.
I had rooted it since a couple of years, so no need to say, it couldn't be upgraded to any higher version of android.
Now I unrooted it and wanna upgrade its android.
My questions:
1. What's the highest Android version officially released for this model?
2. What's the best version you advise me to install on it?
Thanks for your kind & prompt reply.
Cheers,
Leon

Hello!
1. The latest official firmware is android 5.1.1 (v.10.7.A.0.222 or 10.7.A.0.228 depending on region, though internally they are identical).
You can update via xperia-companion software.
2. What's the best only you can say. If stock sony one works good for you, stick to it.
If you have knowledge how to install, and want to try something "custom", there are firmwares based on android 7.1.2 and 8.1 on this forum.
The media players on my Xperia sgp312 keep pausing, has it got something to do with the software, I am still on Android 5.1.1
I really have no idea why does one need to be some kind of a hacker to get an easy thing as software update done.
I have an LG V500 (LG G Pad 8.3 ) Tablet. It currently has andorid 4.4.2. It can't run many apps anymore due to this old version.
Went to setting -> about tablet -> update center -> software updates -> check now for update , get this message: "You are using the latest software version for current OS".
I have absolutely no idea what to do. Didn't find any help on LG's useless website.

Hello Folks,
i just bought a used H850 to switch my data from my old G5 with broken display.
The broken ones already has the oreo update, if i remember correctly i did that with the phones build in update function without any problem.
before i can transfare as much data as possible to the new G5 i have to make sure its running the same android version but when i search for updates now the phone shows that its already on the newest version (with Android 7)
Same when i use the LG Brigde software for PC.
Does LG remove the update? Is there a way to install that last official update on any other way? or to 1:1 clone the data from my broken display G5? in the past i did that by just switching the motherboard but im not sure if the old motherboard has some other disfunktions.
My Banking App also refuses any kind of rooted phones so Lineage OS is bad :-(
Thanks for help in advance

As LG stopped supplying the unlock.bin for the bootloader it's most likely they stopped phone support at all. (I'm never gonna buy anything from LG again)
I've kept a "H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz" on my NAS.
Afaik it should be flashable with LG Up but Idk exactly as mine is on a custom ROM.
