It's still feasible they'll release Nougat. I won't hold my breath, but hoping. I still use mine beside my G6 and will continue to do so when I get my V30 soon. But it would be nice to have at least Nougat since my other devices will be updated to oreo soon.

The Polisb Beta port is very good, but there's little quirks I don't like compared to Nougat on the G6. Canr remember all of them but I hope they work out the issues. Regardless, we're losing aftermarket support for the G4 from the main dev, Genesixx, meaning there may be issues moving forward with this device past nougat.

Nexus 5X runs Oreo quite well from my experience so I don't see why we couldn't get an Oreo ROM for this device! Ha. Oh well, i still love my G4.

BTW, the G4 takes better photos than the G6. But that's just my opinion. And my buddy too. But whatever. Love all my LGs.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
really..??? let me tell you this...i was the 2nd person that had nougat working on h811 first person was technofreak..

we had nougat way before the v29a dump was available for h815. i say a week before..:D

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

agree its already in korean. only thing they need to change was modem.

so that answer doesnt make sense.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

right similar specs... but LOL LG said our phone wanst going to be optimized on N. only on MM and LP. what a stupid answer to ditch us..
[G4 General] nummer:
Does polish beta work on h812?
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Ask the creator of the port or ask in the thread. Because I know it works on my T-Mobile h811 using official​ TWRP 3.1.1-1. however I don't know anything abiut the H812, is that the AT&T version? Or is the AT&T version H810?
[G4 General] tylerberk:
Installed v29. Waiting is boring.
[G4 General] nummer:
It's the Canadian version, can't unlock bootloader on it

And I don't know what thread you're talking about can you provide a link
[G4 General] raptorddd:
Lol lol lol :d:d

ive sent them 6 links LG promising to give us N. so they could see what am talking about that Q4 already started . LG life is good ??? with this kind of support i dont think i wrote them .LOL

this seems like an automated resposnse..
[G4 General] Ilnaz123:
The question is about

Is there someone who can conver

V29a flashable to kdz it would be help everyone!!

Just like genesis tot version???
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
I thought it would be possible to modify the korean v30 using v29- and creating a tot you can flash above v30 that debloats it and fixes the modem.

But considering how no one has done that, It likely isn't possible.
[G4 General] brossovitch:
I got the nougat port here.. https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-despacito-n-rom-v1-0-t3659805

But it's for h811. And you need TWRP..
[G4 General] nummer:
Bummer... Can't do TWRP, I know there is TWRP in fish but I don't want to do that as you can't go back, or it would be very hard to do.
[G4 General] sdembiske:
You can go back to stock anytime you want with TWRP-IN-FiSH by simply refurbishing with LGUP-NEW. I've done it many times with my H812. The ability to back-up your rooted system image with TWRP-in-FiSH and restore it to get back to where you were is a big plus.

Suggest you check out post #388 by steadfasterX in the TWRP-in-FiSH thread and the link that he refers to with respect to being able to have Nougat. Note, however, that you will lose root and TWRP-IN-FiSH in upgrading to Nougat as your bootloader will still be locked.
[G4 General] nummer:
Ok, didn't know that :D
[G4 General] fegitoli:
I tried installing the korean software on my h812. Trying to go back resulted in a permanent hard brick. Unless, of course, there is a solution. Rip LG G4
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Hard bricks can be solved ;)

If you want... The way is the same then for my unofficial unlock method but with different files which do not convert your device.
[G4 General] phonexpert_alex:
So it seems, judging by the ammount of time that LG had delayed the update, that our G4 is going to remain at the same software version as the G3. That is not really flagship level from such a big company.

Pixel looks like the only alternative (not considering the evil iDevices and their followers).
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
evil idevices lmao

There is only one evil os that forces you to buy a new smartphone every year to have an actual os and delays critical updates for months.
[G4 General] ijmm:
So, nothing of the release date to the Nougat update until now? I'm from Brazil, and the last update we get here was in last october (2016).

I'll wait until late december, otherwise...

Which a good ROM for LG G4 H815P? I'm new to this, and sorry for my bad english.

[G4 General] raptorddd:
its not that we need to buy new phone.. what makes me mad is that as all lg phones update pattern is they release phone with an android version and then 2 major updates of new android version. we only received 1 MM. theres is a 2 year cycle for new android updates. and we still were on that time cycle. we should have N since last december or january.

after that N release i wasnt expecting any more . but we didnt get it and havnet yet.
[G4 General] Basmatek:
If they release 7.0, G4 users will keep their phones for longer and more bootloops will happen, more complains etc. If they don't, people will move to new phones sooner, and everybody will forget the G4 ever existed and that's what LG wants.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
bootloop will happen either if its on MM or N. and it actually runs cooler on N. we all know heat deteorates the soldering..

causing bootloop... maybe because it bootlooped before and they took a loss on replacing MB's they dont want to.
[G4 General] ling751am:
Nougat is more cooler than Marshmallow

Overheat will cause bootloop

But in Nougat, overheat won't happen

One thing you said is right

If LG upgrade G4 to Nougat, they will keep their phone and won't buy new G series phones, but NO MORE bootloop and COMPLAIN.

Upgrade G4 to Nougat will salvage their reputation, and customers will buy LG phones next time
[G4 General] nikomedes:
I do not agree with you, even LG release Nougat for G4, I will never buy a LG smartphone again. Nothing changes the truth that we do not have Nougat and Oreo has already been rolled out.

If LG releases an Oreo Rom tomorrow for LG G4, it has also no meaning. Nothing recovers the reputation of LG anymore, at least for me. Never LG again.
[G4 General] ling751am:
Let me guess, what if LG release nougat for G4, you still choose not to buy LG again

In your mind, LG is a meaning #overheat #noupdate #phonebrick #everythingbad

So, if they do something trying to recover their reputation, that won't make you change your mind

Cuz in your mind, you already give up :)

But I'm not, I gonna to buy V30 next time cuz G4 is a great phone for me

By the way, LG Taiwan is a really bad company, their after-sales service won't repair overheat-bricked G4 for free now, and I choose to repair my phone in another way, I've use this well-repaired phone over 1 year, still working
[G4 General] xDave7:
imo, I won't be buying another LG phone, despite I love my G4 although all the problems is giving me, simply because I don't want to deal with LG's abysmal assistance. That's literally the sole reason I won't be buying LG phones ever again. And also, we're in mid-October and yet no nougat for our phones.
[G4 General] ling751am:
I know your feelings, I hate LG's after-sales service too

But I love their phone features, and the camera

If you want nougat, search "G4 Android 7" or "G4 nougat" in forum
[G4 General] xDave7:
I know, but why I have to do it manually, when they said it would come in Q3?

Q3 is well over.
[G4 General] ling751am:
Ask LG for their perfect Software Support :D

By the way, nougat's performance is great, I think you can upgrade your G4, but you need to do that manually XD
[G4 General] thorcyar:
Hi, I'm also 1000% with those who will never buy LG phone again. I had 1 bootloop, and now my repaired phone will often block for 30 seconds, making me think it is dead again (but no, not yet, it just reboots by itself, freezes, and apps like waze just freeze or force close, so that it's not really a phone that I have in hands). I offered one LG4 to a parent : bootlooped. At work I know another person owning a G4 : 2 bootloops (and a samsung now). So yes, #noupdate (only had 2 OTA since I bought it), #willbrick100%sure, #day1problemsNeverSolved (bootloops, battery drain and bluetooth audio stutter, and now screen burning). Never EVER again a LG phone for me.

I'll eventualy try Nougat manual install, if phone does not dye first. I'm almost certain that it won't prevent bootloop. nor correct any of the numerous issues I have
[G4 General] raptorddd:
i wont buy LG if they dont gives us N.
[G4 General] nummer:
I'm with all of you here, no matter if G4 is stuck with MM or gets N, I'm never buying LG again, because they said they would release nougat by the end of Q3, and we in Q4 with no nougat. LG is a piece of sh*t company with sh*t support for the G4. Never again LG.
[G4 General] spartan268:
I guess I'll continue the hate train here as well. I too also not plan on getting another LG phone. The boot loop is one thing and I can let it slide considering **** happens. But this phone has a boat load of little quirky issues. Like the screen turning on by itself. Skipping issues with music. Poor battery life (fixable thankfully). Seemingly phantom touches on the screen. Random reboots when trying to turn it on from standby. And probably a few more I could list off..

I was thinking about giving them a chance with the V30 but after hearing the issues with the screen im not even going to take my chances with it. Otherwise on paper it seemed like the perfect phone, sort of like how I originally thought the G4 would be.

And now we have a completely delayed release of nougat and thats if it even gets released for the rest of us :( even though I'm a root user im completely open to the idea of kicking myself into android N if the performance improvements are worth it plus the security updates rolled into it.
[G4 General] thorcyar:
considering the recent news about wifi/wpa2, this is now urgent to get N (with updates). Or else we all have paperweights here.
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
I think if we get the nougat, we won't get that wpa2 fix, because LG excluded our G4s from security patches. And who knows, if whey fix blueborne insecurity (or whatever is it called).
[G4 General] evrk:
LG should really exit the smartphone market once and for all. Their phones are garbage plagued with various issues. The hardware is poor made and the software is poor made as well. No security patches and not Android updates on their time. Seriously some Chinese cheap phones are better made than LG's. Getting Nougat on G4 or not LG is dead for me. And it's not like the G4 was their only phone made out of crap. So enough is enough for me.
[G4 General] thorcyar:
what ??? are you sure of that ? source ?
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
Look here; you won't see any G4 in their list https://lgsecurity.lge.com/security_updates.html and xda articles is next source https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-lg-g4-no-monthly-security-update/
[G4 General] alitavas:
Android 8.1 is coming for pixel phones

And we are waiting for 7 ??

No more LG
[G4 General] nikomedes:
On the other side we do not have chance to use custom roms as bootloader unlock is not avalable for variants. No support for new roms is ****, not providing bootloader unlock option is bull****.

You have my attention. Please PM me about this.
[G4 General] nummer:
I agree, that is the very least LG should do, providing BL unlock for h812 and all other models.

If G4 doesn't get that or nougat, I might just buy something else.
[G4 General] thorcyar:
holly sh!t :mad:

then I guess I'll have a look at lineageOS roms instead of LG ports...
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
I am thinking about it too...
[G4 General] tntnt:
the worst about lineage is the camera quality...
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
I think the only fact that is holding me back from lineage yet is camera quality as well.

Isn't the Google camera port available for lineage and if so, how good or bad photos are compared with original stock ROM?
[G4 General] thekeemo:
As of right now is there no highly convluted way for those with an h812 to get either 7.0 or lineage or root on mm?
[G4 General] sdembiske:
Check out steadfasterX's post # 388 in [LOCKED][G4][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-in-FIsH for all LOCKED G4 devices.

Also check out his thread [Bootloader UNLOCK][LS991|H81x|VS986|F500] Unofficial unlock -> PoC (**STOPPED**) at: https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/bl-unlock-unlock-bootloader-proof-t3648288 and in particular, post # 66 and post # 122.

Read the OP fully and carefully and be aware of the risks and limitations.
[G4 General] obvious:
I think latest unofficial builds by genesixx or kessaras use nougat blobs so camera quality is fixed. I may be wrong but i do know that official builds are way out of date by comparison
[G4 General] thekeemo:
If im understanding this correctly for the first one

downgrade to LL

Flash twrp fish

Then I can simply install roms intended for say the H810? (after removing the first line of the check script)

For the second one follow the process then I will have normal TWRP and can install roms meant for the H810 (after removing the first line once again) but I wont have the proper broadband because it will be locked?
[G4 General] sdembiske:
No, I don't believe so. Your bootloader will still be locked and you risk hard bricking your device. Check with steadfasterX in the referenced post and the_naxhoo in his post for details and post your questions to them in the appropriate threads to see what is possible and what is not. The rom referenced by the_naxhoo in # 568 is from an H815 I believe but will stand corrected if that is not the case, whereas he installed to an H815P.

Please check with steadfasterX and SePhIrOtX and post your questions to them in the referenced links for full information.
[G4 General] Juujika:
G4 WAS there in that list earlier. STILL last security update was 2016-07-01 over year ago. They dont release any security updates.

I actually wrote them an email and asked about those updates and they said that they dont release any updates to any of their phones, it is Google job to keep them updated.

I asked the LG question if we would also get Nougat for Europe for LG G4 and I got this answer:

- Thank you for sharing your opinion and experience with the LG product you own.

- We have no official information yet, buIt in Germany already available 7.0 on G4 I think we will soon get it.
[G4 General] exakt:
Whaaat? No Nougat in Germany. Forget it!

Those all answers from LG are scam and nothing else.

[G4 General] lOnestar89:
Quick question:

Has anyone outside Korea gotten the official Android 7 update yet?

I have a Moto Z laying around that gets constant security updates (and very fast I must add) , but have shied away from fully setting it up for business yet and also the camera is not as good as the G4. If there is no sign of Android 7 for the G4 though, I will switch for good though - and never come back to LG, no matter how good their future phones are.

It is really such a shame with LG. I absolutely love the camera of this phone (though I hate the battery life) - which is why I wanted to keep it as long as possible. I don`t even care so much about Android 7, but the complete lack of security updates for a year now makes this phone slowly but surely unuseable, especially considering how big the bluetooth security problem is.
[G4 General] phonexpert_alex:
No update in Germany, as of yet.

I can 100% confirm that my unlocked h815 G4 in Germany has NO 7.0 update!

Confirming no update for h812... If G4 does not get nougat, I might just get Redmi note 4 or note 5 when it comes out due to unlockable bootloader and lots of community support.

no not possible someone already tried actually 2-3 guys even used VPN and faked location.

why so much hussle when you can flash the same v29a in here its the same.
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
Not only you WILL get the update, you're getting it before us (the ones without the Korean variant)

The G4 in KOREA is getting it in Q3 2017. as I know the rest of LG, we will receive it AT LEAST 3 weeks after the Korean variant. They could surprise us and give it to us even a week later, but that's REALLY unlikely.
[G4 General] ehl.ey14:
that would be interesting hahahaha :) im on stock marshmallow right now and it sucks because it cannot be rooted
[G4 General] raptorddd:

[G4 General] ShinOrochiX:
Korea will get it first, Q3 and the rest of the world will probably get it in Q4 or even Q1 2018, if so that'd be 3 years of (delayed) support-but support nonetheless! I sold my G4 though, just at the right time.
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
That also depends on when Korea releases it. Q3 is a pretty big title. It could be any time between July to September. if we even get it at the END of July, we should still get the international update in Q3, by kdz, at least. If they release it in September on the other hand, we are def getting it in Q4, and if LG don't rush to release it internationally like they did with the G5, we might even get it in Q1 2018. Hoping for the best tho
[G4 General] raptorddd:
i saw on video i think stlus 2.. where you could change all the white to black.. cause i think most are all white screen and status bat icons are black.. not sure if it was a switch or theme.? hope you can make that on LG G4 when available.
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
its a theme. They added an actual theme engine in nougat. It could be more than just a dark theme, but most people do use it for dark themes. Of course, because its a branded theme engine, it cant modify 3rd party apps. If 3rd party apps will add dark themes, we might finally get a full dark theme.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
i use some layers and place it on system/vendor/overlay. like whats app. and other apps.. for dark.

well i talk about the actual UI. like when you fo to settings or call screen when i tried 5.0 UIX theme too much white on screen..
[G4 General] captsingh787:
They said V10 would get it before June and its almost june and it still don't have nougat... don't think G4 will get it either
[G4 General] br0adband:
As is always the case (but people here at XDA always forget too soon), if it happens it happens, if not then whatever. Sure I'd love to see an official Android 7.x.x build released by LG and the carriers but I'm not gonna sit around waiting. Yes I'm fortunate in that I have an H811 and the bootloader is unlockable and I can run LineageOS in 15 minutes from making this post if I want to do so but I'm ok with the stock 20v build that just got released officially by T-Mobile like a week ago, it works fine, standby time is better at least for my personally, and it's smooth and responsive while being updated to the April 2017 security patches so I'm good.

So again, if it happens, good, if not we'll survive. :D
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
Seriously? This is another major problem, sometimes we blame carriers but sometimes they release updates quicker than OEMs (at least in case with LG).

I'm on carrier-free H815 (V20e-TWN-XX) and still stuck on August 2016 security patch...
[G4 General] Sisqo:
Don't know why lg doesn't provide these updates for unlocked h815 but they make them for t-mobile, i hope for nougat or gonna buy another phone..
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
They didnt say Before June, they said Q2 2017. A lot of people (for some reason) DONT consider June as Q2. People look at it as months and see that Q2 is March to June, so the assumption is that Q3 starts at the beginning of June. but thats not true, Q3 actually starts at the END of June, yet June is still considered part of Q3. Yes, that also unfortunately means Q3 2017 includes September, so if LG does this crap with the G4, expect the international update in late 2017-early 2018, which at that point Android 8.1 would probably be in development, if not Fuchsia would be announced.
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
Did anyone contact the LG to ask for updates, especially nougat for LG G4?
[G4 General] br0adband:
If you're on a carrier-free bootloader unlockable H815 and you're not running a custom ROM like LineageOS 14.1 aka Android 7.1.2 with the May 2017 security patches I don't know what to tell ya...

There's nothing - absolutely nothing - stopping you from doing that with an H815 which is like the most prized G4 variant there is, I got lucky when I found this H811 which can be (and currently is) bootloader unlocked and I've used LineageOS on it without any real issues except not being able to run the stock camera software so it loses all those neat manual controls but I can live with that I suppose.

I'm currently running the stock T-Mobile 20v build with the April 2017 security patches which was released last week but I might go back to LineageOS here depending on what third party camera I find suits me best because of the loss of those proper manual controls. I only shoot in RAW anyway so in the long run I suppose it doesn't matter and I can make edits after the shoot but even so, those manual controls with the stock LG camera are pretty awesome.

Anyway, you're holding yourself back with that H815 if you're not using a custom ROM on it, seriously.
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
Hmm, what does it have to do with it? AOSP is a different thing and I don't like it so you saying as if I must use it is nonsense... It's my choice to stay on stock especially if Nougat will be released in couples of months I rather wait than mess around with flashing.

I'm talking about completely different thing that it's weird when carrier release security patches and OEM doesn't, especially carrier free versions are always the first to receive updates seems that it's not the case anymore.
