The T-Mobile LG G5 received the much awaited Android 7.0 Nougat update a while ago. The update came as an OTA with firmware version 20A.
However, if for some reason, you weren’t able to take the OTA update or it wasn’t ever delivered to you, developer autoprime over at xda has just released recovery flashable stock ROM for T-Mobile G5 H830 based on the 20A firmware.
You can grab the full ROM zip to be flashed via TWRP recovery from the download link below and install it like you’d install any other ROM from the recovery.
