Does anybody really know what's exactly cooking in LG for LG V20 H990DS India regarding OS update as now the device has completed 01 year of its age & there are no timely Android Security Patches even...??

Good news, still no update in australia on the h990ds TWN version, the local version here was updated a few days ago to september but not the global version as of yet
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mingo_uk:
Hi all, ive just updated this and it seems my V20 that i've had for 2 weeks is now boot looping....

I've had a look at this guide ( https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903 ) but i;m unsure which f/w to download....

I bought my phone here: https://www.tobydeals.com/en_GB/product/lg-v20-h990-dual-sim-64gb-sim-free-unlocked-titan.html

Would any of the H990DS ones work?

Thanks all

^Not really sure iam sure more knowledgeable users could point you in the right direction.

Sadly nokia 6 is getting android 7.1 and october patches seems like LG are a joke of a company when it comes to support.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Redline:
That's a H990DS so yes, any firmware/KDZ for that model with work. You want to look for the firmware most relevant to your region from lg-firmwares.com and use that. Just beware, some region firmwares have more bloat than others (for example the AUS firmware has more bloat than the TWN firmware, hence why I'm using that working just fine here in Australia).

But in short yes, any of those will work, as long as you choose a region that suits you :)

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

Anxiously waiting for it hey. I'm here in AUS with the TWN firmware as well haha. V10F from 1st Jun security patch level is the latest one we have, it's interesting they're just now bringing the AUS firmware to V10F. Maybe us TWN users will go to V10G?

Kinda tempted to try using KDZ Writer from [MENTION=6984210]emdroidle[/MENTION] to update to the latest AUS version. I suppose it couldn't hurt to do a full TWRP backup and give it a shot. It apparently works cross-region, but not sure if TWN V10F/AUS V10F being the same version will affect it.

We can't be that far off!

In America with the SEA firmware and still nothing. Last update happened in August (July patch) and it's sounding like almost every other V20 variant (including all the carrier ones) has received September.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] goulash2011:
Yes its unfortunate the TWN version is still absent from the september security release.

Going by that pic the previouse poster supplied it was 1 day or 2 days apart from the different region's having the release, was hoping it continued that trend but seems its stalled..

Seems android phones are very much a lottery if they are kept uptodate by the company that produces them.

In 2015 LG said monthly updates will happen and it dosent, android OS updates are a pick and choose debacle from LG...

Sorry for the long boring rant was coming from an windows phone with timely updates but not enough apps to fulfill my needs.

Someone has tried the november update?

Hi everyone,

I'm French and have bought a TWN H990DS LG V20. Everything's fine so far. I've seen this morning that there was a software update available (size a bit less than 1 Go). The download is very slow and I wanted to know if anyone had already installed it and if there were issues to consider.

Thanx

My present version:

Android 7.0

Kernel 3.18.31

Build n° NRD90M

Software version

V10f-TWN-XX
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] arcmanov:
It's currently downloading for me as well, but at a paltry 23 KB/s. At that rate, it'll take the rest of the day.

Is it possible to flash a TWN variant in a SEA device?

On a side note, does anyone with the H990DS that received the update have the KDZ to upload somewhere for the rest of us?

Thank you for the upload, managed to downloaded it successfully. The wait is over, glad to report.

@ everyone

Installation guide for Taiwan Models (10h) has been added to post #14 under section 9.

The good news is that, LG has merged TW & SG /cust partitions in firmware 10h-TWN.kdz. That means SG owners can flash it without triggering the bloatwares installation process.

Just a FYI, there's now a V10i-TWN-XX update that's just been released. As of November 23rd 9:00pm Pacific Time is when I noticed it. Funny thing is that right after I d/l the v10h it popped up right away as a update. Totally unknown if it's arb=0 or 1.

I'm staying put until more information is available.

I have the same problem. I think the reason is the dead emmc. I tried to make backup immediately after odin flash and got a error while reading of the system partition. Sometimes I got system mount error. It is a strange case, becouse odin does not notice about some errors while firmware writing. Maybe odin writes the system partition without errors check from emmc? And TWRP restores /system from a backup without problems, but reads the partition not always.

Okay-- maybe I'm just imagining this-- but it seems like I've had it on a phone before--

Is there a plugin for the today screen that allows you type and send the message right from there? Not linking you to the phones messaging program-- but with an input box and everything right there on the today screen?

I had already this problem with an Samsung J7, and I had to send an email to hotline@samsung.de. They ask for the IMEI, SM, Model, Country you live and carrier you want to use it. They take around 2 weeks. Yesterday I talked with online chat service, and they asked me for the same information, and an invoice from Amazon.de. The thing is that I don't want to wait for 2 weeks T_T. There is an app for S7 that can release the region lock, but there is no new updates about it

I bought it on amazon.de and it's shipping. I'm talking with some other people in the same situation and the problem is that Amazon gives you a 30 days for returns, so we need to make sure Samsung will provide the codes, otherwise we need to send them back and ask for a refund.

Does Samsung always send the codes and it's just a matter of time?

I was talking to the guy who works at the store and i asked him about the blue,grey, red tints issue if it's true or not and he confirmed that the problem is present due curved screen and different viewing angles of the phone and he simply said - you can change the colours from adaptive display to manual colours and see what is the best for you.. i know i am a fool i bought the phone knowing that this phone has a (manufacturer defects) i had no other options

Region lock

For anyone who wants to know because they still ship them with the regionlock: I heard from my provider it is because the US model is cheaper and the device doesn't meet the EU quality requirment standards. In order to prevent the US version of the device being shipped of to EU for cheap they put a region lock on some devices. You must use your phone for about an hour or so send a few text messages, use internet and stuff. I got notified it ISN'T a PERMANET lock. Just use the device in the EU for a while when you buy it. :good:

When i was in egypt i saw the galaxy s8+ and decided i want to buy it right away. I have to say i live in Switzerland else. I went into a shop and we started talking and he explained to me its stupid to buy the s8 in egypt if i live in Switzerland. Electronics shipped to egypt are not produced with as tight tolerances like the ones shipped to Switzerland/Europe. I was somehow perplexed and asked other retailers if this is true and ALL of them told me yes.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] little-endian:
Encountered the same issue after I bought a Note 8 Dual SIM (SM-N950FD) from Amazon Italy with direct shipping to Japan and thus without any chance to place any phone call beforehand.

While I had a bunch of EU SIM cards at hand, due to the insane roaming fees to make that retarded phone call, I first contacted Samsung and kindly requested the unlock code from them. Lame-assed as Samsung is and continues to be without anything happening even after one week, instead of sitting there and waiting, I investigated further and luckily, via a prepaid Edeka Mobil SIM (Vodafone) I was able to unlock it myself - for free by calling the account manager under 22922 which is reachable worldwide free of charge, even when roaming outside of the EU. A neat way to get a "countable" connection triggering the unlock (an emergency doesn't "qualify" as the call time isn't "counted" here).

Another halfway cheap alternative method would be to get a SIM card from "Netzclub" in Germany which is free of charge including shipping, topping up 5€ and then calling yourself for these about 5 minutes (0.99€/minute when residing in "world 1"). For some, even getting the SIM card and spending 5€ might be less hassle than going to the hilarious Samsung support. Hence just as a hint.
