Lg g5 H820
I want/need to upgrade the phone from Nougat to anything more modern.
I'd prefer upgrading to Oreo (8.x) or a good custom ROM.
PROBLEM: I cannot find any legit Oreo firmware that says it works on the G5 and I've also read that the phone cannot be rooted, so a custom ROM may not be able to be installed.
What say you?
Thanks

Yes, LG says it will.
Oreo beta is already out.
Sent from my carrier unlocked LG V30 US998
Oreo is coming in January according to this

Hi,
If I get oreo firmware of korean v30 v300k and I flash it in my european v30 h930, what would happen? It will works?
No it won't work. You might even brick your phone... if you manage to find a way to flash a firmware not intended for your variant.
You can't install install incompatible rom on this device. Installation process should check the model number to match your phone. That means it will show just an error, but modifying the rom file might allow you to install it. But it won't boot because the korean version has different modem.
Does anyone know if it is possible to install h930 rom on h930ds? I have heard that the modem inside is different, but I am not able to find official information.
Hello people I wanted to ask if lg has published for h850 oreo kernel code, I'm looking forward to new roms
Yes, http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H850
yes I've seen there is oreo v20a I think lg wrote it wrong it should be v30a or not?
Hi, I have installed v30a open eu kdz to my Lg G5(H850TR) and we don't have bootloader unlock. Can i go back to nougat with lg up?

You can downgrade to Nougat operation system with LG UP. Click on the link below for information about LG UP.

stay away from h850 kdz for now, h850tr has source codes released. will be rolling out in a month or so
You need to identify the Qfuse (anti-rollback) version of your phone and the kdz firmware you want to flash.
if the nougat firmware has a lower Anti-rollback version, You will hard brick your phone when you try to downgrade it to nougat
Hello
I have Lg v30 model H933 and this guy who repaired my phone after it got bricked, flashed boot loader version of US998, now my question is if a flash firmware US99810c_03_1216.kdz will it brick my phone? It did brick my phone when I flashed US99810d_01_0411.kdz which is an Android oreo firmware.
SO my phone is booting up and working right now with firmware H93320h_00_OPEN_CA_OP_1123.kdz which is an oreo android version, this phone came with a nougat version and wifi was working on nougat so now i am trying and testing all the different available nougat firmwares available for V30 phones and even for different models just to see if any one of them would work so far none of the nougat firmwares have ever made further than lg logo screen at the startup of boot, and this is with any nougat version firmware i try regardless of their models of course still all for LG v30 .
Flashing Android oreo firmwares always started and booted nicely with any suitable model so far that I have tried but no wifi still and nougat no matter whichever model LG v30's firmware i try never made it past lg logo screen.
Please let me know any possible solution or idea anyone may have.
Thanks

For all V30...
10d is still Nougat.
Oreo starts with 20a, and goes up higher.
First Pie will be 30a.

Sorry my bad You are right, I flashed US99820d_01_0710.kdz and it got bricked and thats when I had the guy flash the boot loader again to get it to download mode again and then I flashed H93320h_00_OPEN_CA_OP_1123 the oreo version and phone is booting fine but no wifi so i am trying to get the nougat version flashed in this phone and get it to boot properly to see if wifi will work on nougat or not.
Thanks

The wild card is whatever the guy did to unbrick your phone. You may no longer have a "normal" phone. You SHOULD be able to flash US998 Nougat, master reset, then flash any version of US998 Oreo. With H933 you would have to DL Partition to US998 both times or even use Refurbish. It's in the Frankenstein instructions and countless people have done it. But the repair guy may have done something to interfere with that happening.
Will the V60 ever get a custom rom, mates? I may purchase this phone in the near future so its kind of a downgrade when theres no rom for this LG's version.
