Install Android 7.0 Nougat Firmware on LG V10
- Power off your LG V10 and plug it into your PC via a USB cable while holding the Volume Up button. This will boot your phone into the download mode.
- Launch the LGUP tool with Uppercut so that it will recognize your LG V10 on start up. Copy the folder common from the downloaded LGUP folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model.
- If everything is properly set up, LGUP will not warn you, if not, it will ask you to connect your phone. You should check the USB connection and the drivers if that happens.
- In the Process section, select the UPGRADE radio button. and then select the KDZ firmware file that you’ve downloaded. Make sure it’s the correct KDZ for your device.
- When you’re ready, click on the Start button and the flashing process should begin. It may take a while so be patient and do not unplug the phone during the process. It may restart a few times and say that Android is upgrading.
Once the update has been installed, it is recommended that you perform a factory reset but the choice is totally upon you. You can now enjoy the new LG UX and the features of Android 7.0 including split-screen multitasking and direct replies from the notifications.
Will this work for the H900? Thanks
The method will work but you’ll have to find the correct KDZ file for your AT&T LG V10.
