Here is a direct mirror in case anyone needs it: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G5/Verizon+VS987/Nougat+7.0/

My connection hates MEGA for some reason, so had to get it from LG's servers.

I would like to add that as long as you are on a 7.0 ROM so far you can downgrade back to this release.
But do not go any farther down or hard-bricks can and possibly will occur and this I know as I have a sprint g5 hard-bricked and there is no fix for sprint or Verizon g5 hard-bricks yet.

Would like to try, hope hotspot working, and no other issue after upgrade ..

I'm trying to upgrade to vs98728a or even vs98728b, I already have 98726b, but I'd like to use my hotspot capability. Can i use this method (but download the vs98728a kdz instead) with no problems?
Not sure what level noob this question rates as lol I'm just getting into rooting/flashing androids and, while I am a quick learner, I'm also very poor and cannot rrisk a soft or hard brick on my device.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Google Lock, no accessibility menu

Hi, when my G5 (VS987) phone starts after installing this Nougat 7.0, I don't see Accessibility Menu in order to bypass the Google Lock. Do you know why? Thanks very much for your help in advance.
