https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/95jfdh/v20_h915_oreo_update_is_live_on_lg_bridge/

H915 Canadian Oreo is live today just as expected.

It is arb 0 https://ibb.co/cfH06K

more pics https://i.redd.it/w3c0uj1cete11.png

I wil try to pull kdz from lg bridge if someone tells me how to do it without it updating my converted h915 to us996 phone.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Not looking good for the LS997. I really thought they would increment ARB on the H915. The US996 is about the only hope now (or finding an exploit in a NEW Oreo aboot).

What about the H990N?

What about H990DS India?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tim3tripp3r:
I just came across this information here - - - >>> https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comm...pdate/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=comment_list

This thread shows a couple of possibilities for the Oreo update on the LG V20 H990DS model

Either we see Oreo next week (Aug 12~18th) or it could be first week of September (7th).

Just remember that I'm only forwarding what I have seen in the thread, it is NOT A GUARANTEE that this will happen.

Hopefully it does though and we can get to play on Oreo shortly.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Angablade:
When I asked my friend. He is an ex LG employee.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DE52:
so basically, if I'm understanding correctly from reading all the thread, depending on how things are setup with ARB, you won't be able to keep root if updating versions? Or more precisely, if you lose root while updating, you won't be able to downgrade to root?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoonyRebel:
Root has been achieved on the H918 ARB1 so.... it's possible root could happen on Oreo ARB1 as well. We'll see.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dudeawsome:
Yeah I believe runningnak3d has said it would be possible
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoonyRebel:
The lingering question I have is what is going to happen with the T-Mobile/H918 release for Oreo? Will that stick at ARB1 or will it move up to ARB2?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnjax:
No one knows until it's released whether or not it's been incremented
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
If you are already rooted, it doesn't matter what T-Mobile does with Oreo, you will be able to keep root.

If you haven't rooted yet, and T-Mobile releases Oreo, and it increments ARB again, then a new procedure will have to be released -- lafploit only works on ARB 0 and 1. I have something that SHOULD work, but of course I can't test it since there are no ARB 2 H918s...

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] X-Nemesis:
Still no word from Tmo on their release of Oreo?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andy Chi:
Iv read somewhere here on xda that the tmo h918 variant gets Oreo sometime from Aug 15-25 something like that.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] frodoring:
Still no word from Verizon VS995 on their release of Oreo?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rssy:
Also no word for H990DS Indian Version. All the thing needed to do is wait wait and wait just fed-up of this waiting, out of patience and cursing LG really bad for not paying attention to such a great Device. Already they are too much late and I mean a lot late and still continuing....
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mL:
Just a thought, will we use kdz to update our rooted phones to oreo?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tim3tripp3r:
See post #211. I answered the question with the latest news.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] rssy:
But you have mentioned that it is not 100% confirmed so how can I agree that Oreo will hit on the provided due dates.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobjjones:
Just sit back and relax. We all need to not get so worked up about this. There's more important things in life.

Though annoyed, I'm excited for it to come out finally. But there are much more important and greater things in life.

(The post I'm replying to comes off as a bit overly worked up and unappreciative of the info the Tim3tripp3r is passing on to us. Thanks for the info dude.)

Today I had a talk with a LG representative he said that oreo for LG V20 H990DS in INDIA is scheduled to release from 7th of September hope so all the H990DS versions may get update from the provided date.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] goulash2011:
Unfortunatly from past security updates i would think the h990ds oreo updates will be staggered from region to region.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DizzyDre:
When I spoke with a verizon rep I was told we would see it at the end of August. We'll see... A little over two weeks left. :silly:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ak7J4:
Just a quick heads up for any H918 users we'll prob be waiting for a much longer time than the other versions, since T-Mobile is still in the dev process and testing takes about 2-4 months, on "low end" phones based on the other phones.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andy Chi:
For goodness sake will somebody just port the Oreo update from another V20 variant to T-Mobile H918 some how. I am more then willing to donate generously. I mean generously...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoonyRebel:
I could imagine those with H918's still on ARB0 would be able to have those Oreo ports working. But most of us are on ARB1 which locks us out.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Feel free to deposit US $2000 to my PayPal, and I will be glad to.

The Oreo modem changed, so the Oreo rild will not work without the Oreo modem. Since the H918 has a different RSA key, you CAN NOT flash the modem from the F800 or H915.

So, in order to port the F800 or H915 Oreo releases over to the H918 with a Nougat modem, I will have to write a new rild. That isn't a small feat, but if you are actually willing to pay for my development time, I will do it.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jl10101:
Do you think it may be possible to use KDZwriter to write the system partition from another device (F800 for example) to the H990 single sim and keep modem? Been wondering
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
If you have any model V20 besides the H918 or LS997 (which already has Oreo anyway), you can flash the entire F800 or H915 Oreo KDZ and will probably have a working phone. Since they are all ARB 0 (except H918 and LS997) if it doesn't work, you can flash back.

Until an Oreo kernel is compiled that works with the engineering bootloader, you will not be able to keep root.

I have ordered two US996 from eBay and I have had to return both of them since they were actually US Cellular. I am waiting on yet another one to be shipped.

Once I have a US996 and can actually do some testing, we can all have Oreo with root (except the LS997 since they need an unlocked aboot that is ARB 1, and there are none).

-- Brian
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jl10101:
Thanks for the explanation! So basically, the keeping the nougat kernel during kdzwriter upgrade will not work (obviously), so replacing that kernel with the correct flags will work, except the stock oreo kernel will kill / not be compatible with the root exploit / engineer bootloader.

Looking forward to getting oreo up and running in the near future if all goes to plan. Good luck, hopefully you receive the right one this time. What a pain!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
If you are going to do it, you need to flash the entire thing -- recovery, aboot, modem, boot, and everything else. If you are going to do it, I suggest using the F800 since you have an H990 -- the modem has a better chance of working.

Again, if it doesn't work, just load up LG UP and flash the H990 KDZ.

EDIT: flashing the entire KDZ isn't going to brick your phone, people that try and keep root by not flashing aboot and recovery are the ones that risk bricking their phones.

Is 8.0 really that much of an upgrade over 7.0? Cause it seems it's just some minor under the hood changes.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
No idea. I don't really care about Oreo itself, I want the firmware and drivers so I can start working on an AOSP build of Pie.

FWIW, H918 is now listed in the testing phase on the T-Mobile site.

"https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates"
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
A lot of different sources said September 3rd. It JUST went to testing today, so that is probably going to be the exact date it is released. That gives them almost exactly two weeks to test it.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:

"Project Treble, the biggest change to the foundations of Android to date: a modular architecture that makes it easier and faster for hardware makers to deliver Android updates"

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Except only devices that come out on 8.0 are mandated to use project tribble.

Our LG v20 will not get it.

So again, what is 8.0 the difference between 7.0 and 8.0?

I agree, can't wait to use substratum. So many themes I would like to use.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
The V20 *will* get Treble support .. just not officially.

The V20 is the last great flagship from any manufacturer. I am not saying that because I own one, it is a fact.

The only things that new flagship devices have added are better cameras and faster CPU/GPU. Unfortunately, they have taken away FAR more.

Anyone that is buying a G6, V30, G7, S9, Note 9, etc, are just interested in having the latest .. not the greatest.

When I go to a concert, I can pop 2 batteries in my pocket and I don't have to worry if I am not going to be able to record video, or if I record too much, not have enough battery for the Uber ride home.

Removable battery, SD card, unlockable bootloader is a must have for me. Eventually, some OEM will realize that.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] pistacios:
^Well stated. these are my thoughts exactly. ^

I also carry 2 batteries. It's funny when I tell co-workers that my phone can go from 0-100% in less than 30 seconds.

I was a bit sad when my G3 started acting up with SIM and SD reader issues. I baked that motherboard to keep it alive for a few months until finally pulling the trigger on a reasonably priced US996.

I honestly hope for people to snap out of the "latest and greatest" phase and realize they are tricked into upgrading due to degraded batteries.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Negative. The V20 lacks the necessary radio for 5G physically so software update will NOT be able to fix

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] pistacios:
I was fortunate enough that my US996 came with a Genuine charging cradle and second battery. I then bought another Genuine LG cradle and battery kit for $32 shipped from wireless circle on sale a few months back. The BCK-5200 is extremely hard to find for a decent price at this nowadays. I rotate all 3 batteries to try and "maximize" their life.

I have no experience with aftermarket brands. There is some info out there, but I haven't done any extensive research.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:
Brian, my question got lost I think.

If you get the Oreo firmware and drivers, you can make us Android Pie, rooted with second screen?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:

Hello

Sent from around the world [emoji289]
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Winterdeath:
I wish it was easier to build a rom from source code (I've tried it last night using "LGH990N_Android_Oreo_v20a" files available on LG's Open Source site and I had to give up in the end.,

) or that the V20 was so popular among the community to attract the interest of those people that are knowledgeable enough and have the will to build one.

It is also possible to install the rom for the H990N on the H990DS, I've done it two days ago through the LG UP program with no issues at all and it runs perfectly on my H990DS variant. I've done it because I was hoping that Oreo would be available for the H990N because of those source files (since there are none for the H990DS or the H990T), but unfortunately that was not the case :(

It's a shame how a company can build such a versatile and powerful device such as the V20 and still hamper its potential with slow updates and unoptimized firmware (I've used the Xiaomi Mi 5 before it and it has run a lot better in terms of performance using the same processor and even less RAM). Still, I love the V20 despite all of that and I hope that Oreo will give it the boost it needs in terms of perfromance or battery life.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=3914330]Winterdeath[/MENTION] That is not the ROM, that is just the kernel.

You would need to build AOSP, to have the opensource ROM, and even then you will be missing the closed source binary blobs (drivers, firmware, etc).

-- Brian
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Winterdeath:
Sorry for my ignorance, but aren't the firmware and the drivers already included? I've put the screenshot of all the files located in the from in .tar file as an attachment.

There's even a tutorial included on how to build a rom...

1. Android build

- Download original android source code ( android-8.0.0_r28 ) from http://source.android.com

( $repo init -u git://10.168.177.185/platform/manifest.git -b android-8.0.0_r28

$repo sync -cdq -j12 --no-tags

$repo start android-8.0.0_r28 --all

)

- Untar opensource packages of LGH990N_Oreo_Android.tar.gz into downloaded android source directory

a) tar -xvzf LGH990N_Android_Oreo.tar.gz

- And, merge the source into the android source code

- Run following scripts to build android

a) source build/envsetup.sh

b) lunch 1

c) make -j4

- When you compile the android source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain) into the android directory.

- After build, you can find output at out/target/product/generic

2. Kernel Build

- Uncompress using following command at the android directory

a) tar -xvzf LGH990N_Kernel_Oreo.tar.gz

- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain) into the android directory.

- Run following scripts to build kernel

a) cd kernel/msm-3.18

b) mkdir -p out

c) make ARCH=arm64 O=./out elsa_global_com-perf_defconfig

d) make ARCH=arm64 O=./out CROSS_COMPILE=$(pwd)/../../prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android- KERNEL_COMPRESSION_SUFFIX=gz -j4

* "-j4" : The number, 4, is the number of multiple jobs to be invoked simultaneously.

- After build, you can find the build image(Image.gz) at out/arch/arm64/boot
