[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
I am from India and I have an imported LG G5 from taiwan which doesn't support VoLTE, by installing the below mentioned Hong Kong Nougat ROM, I got VoLTE. I am making this guide to help anyone who wants to update their H860 using this rom. This guide should work with any H860.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.

Section 1: First download the below files,

20a Version[VoLTE Supported]: http://downloadmirror.co/1KuC/H860N20a_00_OPEN_HK_DS_OP_1102.kdz

20b version[VoLTE not supported]: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h860n-firmwares/

Thanks to lg-firmwares.com for providing the download.

Uppercut and LG UP by Autoprime from here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Flash_Tools/LGUP/

Drivers from here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G5/LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe

Section 2: If you already have LGUP installed, please follow the below steps to avoid LGUP crashing errors else skip to next section

Uninstall LGUP from control panel.

Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics" and delete LGUP folder.

Open Run and type "Regedit" and press OK

In the left hand side panel navigate to "Computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\LG Electronics" and delete LGUP folder in it. Now you should be good to go to next section.

Section 3: Finally to flash follow these steps,

Install LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe

Install LGUP [Don't Open]

Now turn off your phone, after it's completely off press and hold vol up button and connect to pc via usb.

Phone should boot in download mode.

Disable your Antivirus

Now open UPPERCUT by Autoprime which you downloaded earlier

Check "BIN" File box under "File Type" then select KDZ file.

Select device shown at the top and check "Update" check box at the center of the program UI.

Close and reopen LGUP then click on "Start" button to flash KDZ to G5.

Phone will reboot automatically. Enjoy the sweetness of Nougat.

Hope this guide helps you to update your LG G5 H860 to Nougat 7.0.

Section 4: Problems you might face after updating and fixes,

Not able to download the apps on roaming network from playstore. Fix: This is a bug in Nougat itself, until Google fixes it use apkmirror to download the apps while on roaming network as it's a trusted source.

Contact names not showing up in call log. Fix: Copy Google contacts to phone or just delete the Google account and add it again.

P.S. The build is stable and even there are no warning messages at the startup.

Thanks to,

Autoprime for LGUP and awesome uppercut software.

[MENTION=5287957]Techno'CRACKS'[/MENTION] I've successfully flashed the HKG N update on my H60 Dual Sim. I've noticed that everytime my phone is charging it takes a couple of seconds before the screen goes on when I'm trying to unlock it. And the touch sensor can't unlock the phone immediately, and now even if my phone isn't charging the lag is still there. Do I have to hard reset my phone (which I hope I don't have to) or is there an alternative way to resolve this problem? TIA

Thank you for this amazing TUT btw.

Have you tried checking your phone's APN if you're using the correct one?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
It gets better as you keep on using your phone, for now goto smart cleaning and clean the cache. A factory reset can immediately solve your problem, which I think you don't want to do ;)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
This is the problem he was facing, he has solved it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavjr08:
I already deleted the cached files but still have the problem. I'll try some workarounds and if nothing happens I 'll do the hard reset. Wew. Thank you for the quick reply.

Update: I managed to pinpoint the cause of the lag, 'twas because of AVG Antivirus, experiencing some problem within the app and affected the operation of the phone. I also degreenified the said app and my G5 is back on its original speed.

After upgrading from TWN to Honkong version nougat, I am not able to update via OTA. What should I do?. Everytime i check software update, it showing a message "you are using the latest version of current os". If i go back to TWN nougat , can I get OTA updates? But i dont want to loose VoLTE feature.

If it is, like for me v10m-IND-xxxx ... Its the indian h860.

Can I use LG bridge to update manually?

I have updated from TWN to Hon Kong ROM to enable VoLTE. I got VoLTE now, but after that I didn't get any update notification in phone or In PC (LG Bridge). If OTA has broken due to update from TWN to Hon Kong ROM, can I still use LG Bridge to update my phone's latest security patches?. If not is there any other way to get updates? I am not sure after Nougat update LG released any security update for LG G5. My software version is V20a-Ds1-HQ.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hazeem89:
Its been 2month with this nougat update, and up until now still no OTA monthly security update knock on my phone. Are we doom not to received Monthly OTA security patch? hope someone can clarify on this.

Ok gurus out there. Installed HK ROM and get Volte then when I switch it off and restart I lose Volte. Re install ROM get it back, switch off and lose it again. No issues from my service provider's end.

Hello . I want to upgrade my phone to nougat , it's h860 , i don't want my data be erased , i just need update , so should i follow this guide ?.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jestin6699:
You won't loose your data if you follow the steps that mentioned in page 1. I have installed that and no data lost. If you are looking for VoLTE then you can install the Honk Kong ROM as mentioned in 1 post of this thread. If you are not looking for VoLTE functionality, then you can check updates using LG Bridge (PC). In both ways no data will be lost.

Please check the software version...this is Honk Kong version and software version is V20a-DS1-HQ and Screenshot you have posted is V20a-ESA-XX which might have been released in December

Does N on TWN has Volte support enabled ?? And what is the security patch version ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehra1:
Volte never checked as I never used Jio. But you can use jio sim internet as well as calling. Security patch is of November month.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
Many of them say volte menu or setting not available, you havent used jio so cant confirm if calling can be done .
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehra1:
I have Lg g2 and it doesnt have volte and used jio sim in that. Internet and Calling works just fine.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
I had Marshmallow TWN rom before going to N HK, M TWN don't have volte support, it only worked for Internet but no calling, so wanted to confirm if TWN N had enable the Volte on Lg g5 and abviously I dont have Lg g2 so thast not of my use if it supports any ways
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehra1:
Reliance have a dialer app (Jio4GVoice) that you have to install and you can call through that without any problem.

hi. i have h860 and update it with v20a hongkong rom. every thing is good only fast charge disppointing me and take alot of time to charge about 1.30hour to fully charge. i update via lgup and usb .

anybody face to this problem ?

any way or recommend to solve it?

i will attach the graph of battery charge in android 6 and android 7.

slope of line in android 6 battery charge is much higher than 7 .

android 7 charging speed very bad and is slow. and its clear in pictures.

whe the reason???
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
Everything seems to be okay , normally 1hr20m is taken to full charge from 20-100%, and the timing varies as per usages so be don't be dependent on those timing. If you still think there is issue see updates for Facebook and messenger. They have issue regarding battery drain. After updating/has been updated this app try to clear data of these app.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammsh:
hi. 1.20 hour for charging g5 isnt normal. in android 6 i charge it about 55 minute.

i update my phone via lgup and usb.

is it originate from manual update? does any diference bitween g5 ota and usb update? maybe ota update make some action that usb lgup update neglect them or dont eraesy some cache files
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
Updating via lgup may break your ota, but there is no difference in system files just region specific. And what more you are saying about cache can't say what that means. You revert back to stock OS which came in the box and then you can have ota. Else you can use lgup
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammsh:
yes. battery drain evoke.

solution that i found:

1-always on display must be on

2-gps set to callibrate gps only. no network

3-in developer mode: disable auto apdate

4-disable facebook app preinstalled in rom

5-disable preinstalled chrome. consume huge battery

plz share your experiance about battery drain facing to save battery in g5 android7

Phone was bought in Singapore, m1 shop. I was trying to get Volte to work but never could. I did a hard reset so i can remove all the junk apps i've installed that slowing down the phone, and voila... I had Volte icon on the notification bar and pull down menu. I had also change the vowifi value to 1 in the service menu, so that may or may not be the reason volte pops up after hard reset. Hope this helps

Why do you lose Volte

Hi all

I have the HK rom installed (several times) but why do I lose Volte every time on re starting the phone? I have absolutely tried everything. I restore the factory - all good then restart and Volte disappears. This is not on the providers side. Any suggestions as I'm absolutely dumbfounded.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
HK nougat ROM? Please try factory resetting the phone from recovery.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yozhek:
Yes with HK ROM. I've done that and Volte comes back and operates as it should. It disappears if I restart the phone straight after the factory reset or after a restore from backup. I am wondering if others have experienced this or if there is some sort of fix.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bupreno:
Has there been any update since then? I havent seen any at the firmware website nor does it show in the settings.

Isnt that weird ? earlier it used to get update almost every month.

Folks!! any update on security patches for January ....
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yozhek:
Thanks for your help on this one. It doesn't always restart with the removal of SIM unless you put in another SIM and this triggers the auto restart. When you go back to the SIM with the activation and after the restart, Volte does work again. This way is so much better than having to factory reset and then restore which takes substantially more time.
