Check out this topic at XDA for installing it on any H815 variant: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-nougat-stock-t3659860
You will have to unlock your bootloader but this is easy (you just have to register an account at LG and perform a few simple steps with the phone connected to a computer), the unlock will be sent to you by email. Then you can flash the update. I have installed it today and it works great.

For safe and lasting use always check the running of unwanted applications which drain battery. LG G4 is the best smart phone if using carefully.

I had my LG G4 H815 since 2015 and I'm still using it till now as my primary phone (my other phone is iphone 6). The thing I like most about this phone since I first bought it is its camera, both front and back. I it is very good in low light conditions plus the wide lens for the selfies has always been very good when taking group selfies. Also the manual controls give it a sense of using a pro camera although I scarcely use this mode. I hardly faced heating problems, I guess a few times in the last 3 years, which were all related to serious heating, like leaving the phone in direct sunlight in the summer or playing an intensive game like need for speed for more than an hour in a poorly air conditioned room and so. Battery life is average, but the fact that it has removable battery is very satisfying, since I got this phone it was a promotion that I got with it an extra battery with an external charger, so I almost never leave the phone wired to the charger (actually I got used to this, and now all new phones have built in batteries so I'm kind of stuck in here) instead I charge the other battery and exchange batteries.
Although I am generally satisfied with this phone that I thought about buying another new one that is dual sim (I finally decided not) but I have to mention that I faced the following problems in the first year:
1- Suddenly the screen stopped displaying properly giving strange colors then turned totally black. The service center said it was a faulty screen which is a rare condition and almost no one had this issue and exchanged for me within the warranty.
2- The popular bootloop issue: I faced it after around 6 months from buying the phone, the service center said it is a common issue in early editions which have specific serial numbers and mine was one of these. The problem was something related to the mother board and they got it changed within the warranty.
3- The phone fell over the carpet while vibrating and since then it stopped vibrating. The service center changed the vibrator motor within the warranty.
Generally the service center (in Egypt) was very professional and helpful, and they solved all the problems without much debates, however it is not good to have to leave a new phone at the service center 3 times in the first year even if you'll pay nothing because you're still in warranty.
The funny thing is that I never faced any serious problems after the warranty has expired, even though in the last year (after more than 2 years of extensive usage) the double tap to unlock is becoming harder (this is an LG feature where you can turn on the display without pressing the unlock button instead you double tap the screen).
Finally I have to say that generally I am a good phone user, usually my phones last for years before they breakdown. The last phone I had before the G4 was a Samsung S4 which was very good for the first 6 months but got worse after every OS update, battery getting worse, performance getting much worse to the extent of getting over my nerves. The phone before it was also a Samsung Galaxy Mini that went dead after one and half years. Before it I had a Nokia N80 that lasted for 4 years until it was totally dead.

I had this device for 1 year and gave it away as a present. The battery problem was getting out of hand. The phone has an excellent display and camera setup, but the battery couldn't handle the Snapdragon and the extreme display.
In result to that in summer days using navigation in the car led to overheating and the phone was switching off by itself to cool down.
Battery life is a nightmare, never was able to get a day long experience without charging.

Never had over heating issues apart from playing games which is normal in all devices. First it starts acting strange when i try to use camera flash as torch and after few weeks camera stop working and then after few weeks my screen shows garbage characters and then bootloop starts couple of times and then it turns off and never recovered. I took it for repair but it doesn't work. Now it's laying in my drawer RIP. I think sooner or later all lg g4 might face killer bootloop.
