Before asking any question, be sure you have already checked this Q&A list!

Known Issues:
Q14. Can I get Android Pay working if I upgraded to Nougat?
A: You can't. Some "root" files still in the system partition (I don't know what partition its stored).
So your phone can't access SafetyNet now.

Q15. Is there any way to get my Android Pay work again?
A: Try REFURBISH your phone to a European KDZ
Then REFURBISH to any country/version KDZ, that's would get your Android Pay work again.
Oh.. I didn't try this but I think it would work, cuz I don't use Android Pay :)[/HIDE]

Screenshots:
See attach
Hi! I read Q14 & Q15 and I'm just wondering... if there's still root files on the system partition, wouldn't it be possible to flash the stock system.bin through fastboot in order to pass the SafetyNet?

Thank you, but i want to ROOT my phone again. Can i do this?
I'll punch your face : (

Can we install it on h810 h811 locked rooted?
Go try it, I don't know what will happen with your phone : )

So, I just finished upgrading the H815P variant using this method and it worked fine!

The Lollipop version I used was H815P10g_00, cause that's the one I already had.
-----delete for save the world : )-----
Awesome! Thanks!
Yeah, that ADB Folder have already contained Send_Command.exe
All we need is that .exe

Thank you for the tutorial =)
It seem that after the update, the phone don't use 4g+ (LTE advanced) anymore but only 4g, do you have the same problem?
nah, I have 4G+ with my G4, must be that baseband isn't compatible with your country :L

Solved.
Download the LG Poland Official H815 v29A firmware zip again. and worked perfectly
You didn't download that file completely lol

This Method works for H815AR. I just do it, and everything seems ok. The only error i got, is when it starts. But i cant see nothing more than that.
Thanks!
I don't understand what you say, what is "I can't see nothing more than that when it starts"?
Are you mean, you can't see boot animation during phone booting?

Works well. Overall smoother experience than in marshmallow but camera app is quite laggy compared to marshmallow.
Try to clear Camera app's data and cache

works great on H815L [ISRAEL]
Thanks for sharing this awesome way to upgrade.
and screw you LG
Screw you LG and and give LG our beautiful fingers : )

your device is corrupted and cannot not be trusted will not boot messege after lg logo and cant enter into download mode. Locked boot loader. Pls help!
Wipe and try to flash H81520 KDZ again

flash again the v20p kdz and try again. Maybe you can flash directly the v10X kdz. Some of your partitions is not in the orignal state so the device will not boot.
Yeah.

Unfortunately download mode doesnt work.
Sorry for bothering im new here
take out the battery and hold vol up, connect to pc again

Hi! I read Q14 & Q15 and I'm just wondering... if there's still root files on the system partition, wouldn't it be possible to flash the stock system.bin through fastboot in order to pass the SafetyNet?
IDK but you can try, if you solve this, don't forget to share it here : )

EDIT: I've tried that, fastboot response me "device is locked. Cannot erase"
Anyway, we need unlock that bootloader, screw you LG

H815AR

Sorry for my poor english.

I was trying to say, i dont have any problem with the upgrade. The only problem i have is the warning windows when the phone starts that says:
"Current Version is not available for user. Can't find cust for NTCODE=[33403,FF}"

But i close that window, and everithing works fine.

Thanks!

PS: If there any way that you know, to remove that message, i will be very pleased.
PS2: I hope you can undestand this message.. :p

You mean that the 4g band are coded in the firmware?, that's strange, anyway i got back to the original firmware MM and got my 4g+ back, too bad nougat was cool.

When step 4 is done, the imei is lost and it is not connected to the pc to copy the files, it seems that all the partitions were lost.
Anyone else has had that problem?

That not a problem and not an issue, it's normal cuz the rom's country code doesn't match to your phone
Anyway, close it and enjoy your nougat

It's seems Polland's baseband can't match to your country's band
Smooth and faster? Nougat
4G+? Marshmallow :p

I'm gettin an 0x2000 invalid command response error on step 3 (at 7%, "boot"). Used Uppercut. It's an H815.X I'm getting the same error with MM and LP KDZs. Can you help me please? Beginner here
Edit: Worked with these dlls https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73493577&postcount=78
Yeah, you got it
Alternative way: Use LG Flash Tool

When step 4 is done, the imei is lost and it is not connected to the pc to copy the files, it seems that all the partitions were lost.

You have bad luck
Perform a factory reset won't lost IMEI, try LG Flash Tool and flash KDZ again

Please help

Hi,

I'm thinking about upgrading my H815 to V29A Nougat. If I understand it correctly, i will lose Safety Net dependant apps like Pokemon Go and banking apps with this method. Is there any way i can upgrade to Nougat and not lose the ability to pass Safety Net? I'm considering bootloader unlock if it would do the trick. Can someone write me a guide if it's possible to do?

Thanks!

Unknown Model

Get one step further this time, but step 6 ended in bootloop. Hard resetted it - LGUP with Uppercut says "Unknown Model", Flash Tool says "Contact system administrator - system info can not be found" or something like that. Any ideas of what I can do to fix this?
Edit: Suddenly worked with FlashTool and the 10F kdz, not with any other kdz. Started over. It finally worked! Thank you!

Working fine with H815T

Just wanted to say I've had this running on my H815T (Hong Kong) variant for the last week with no issues at all. It's amazing how smooth nougat is!
The only difference between the H815 and the h815T is one 4G band, so that's no longer working for me (band 40). Maybe check if that band is important for you before anyone tries the same thing (I take no responsibility etc etc).
