Maybe someone to open new topic with download link and stuff we need, tutorial to get nougat. For which version it is, and other.

sent via LG G5
It is spain vodafone version, link is 2-3pages back. Only tutorial is to replace .dll file provided by cross6victor eith one in LGUP/Mobile/H850 (i think that was location) folder. Flashing it as upgrade, then if you have fc's - turn phone off, hold vol down and press power button and start pressing power button when lg logo shows up. It will enter some mode and will factory reset it. Then it eill restart and you will be welcomed by setup screen.

how will you push twrp through adb if you don't have su? As far as I know it's su dd method and we don't have su yet. Seems that twrp needs to be updated to 7.0, I've looked at the sources of our twrp and found this revision="android-6.0" , so basically means our twrp is build for android mm not yet for nougat. Fastboot to twrp doesn't work either, so it's waiting for the update now ;)
Did you try it at least?

How i flash this Nougat KDZ.
1. Make a backup with LG Bridge
2. Copy important folder and files to my sd card (backup if internal storage is wiped)
3. Copy contacts, settings of apps etc. to my sd card aswell
(Optional :Charge my phone to 80%)
4. Turn off device
5. HOLD Volume UP AND connect it with USB Cable from PC.
6. Open LG UP (make sure you install h850 dll properly)
7. In LG UP click on UPGRADE and click on the blank space where BIN is.
8. Choose Nougat KDZ
9. Press start & wait until it says complete. (about 10 mins)
9.2 You have to unlock your device (for me it was the knock code then LG UP said COMPLETE).
10. Let device connected to PC until the upgrade is done.

EDIT: Im not reponsible for any damage to your device or pc or your pet.
Note: Your internal storage and apps etc. are NOT WIPED. Everything works as before the upgrade.
Edit2: I will post screenshots soon.

Tried and it doesn't work. Updated to 7.0 using that kdz, soon after tried flashing twrp, button combination doesn't work nor the fastboot boot twrp.img. Our current twrp is just for mm, so there is no way to boot in twrp in nougat until twrp.img is updated to support nougat too. It's a waiting game now ;)
PS
ADB method
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/recovery
doesn't work since we don't have su, tried it,su not found ;)

I can't see why more aren't using this ROM. It's fast, stable and reliable. I like using Android Pay and watching stuff on Sky so rooting isn't really an option, that makes this the best way to get to Nougat currently.....
Because it's a branded ROM, why would anyone want to install or use it? Why would I want Vodafone logo at boot or apps?

f**k antutu. there isn't any vodafone boot logo
Someone said on here before he had Vodafone boot logo. Anyway, I will wait for OTA. I don't want to wipe or reset, people said their phones were reset while updating.

You have to install the dll file for H850 model. Just Google for H850 dll

Is that kdz work with my LG H850 from South Africa/UAE? I'm dying to try nougat. And there's no way to unlock bootloader yet for my device.
Will work with this KDZ
