Security updates are sent as OTA updates. Moto has said that they will not be releasing security updates monthly. I'd guestimate one security update a quarter.
ok, so is there a way or app to download them? or is just an ota upgrade.
Do any roms have these included?

OTA Update. You can check for updates in Settings.
Well it's that time again VZW put out a new OTA anyone taken this yet what does it fix and is it worth it and I think all of us will be wondering is will it lock your bootloader Its unlocked
Me too, I got an OTA notification today, update size is 823.5 MB, don't know what build it is.
I have VZ Pixel, unlocked, stock rooted NMF260 with VZ service. Is it safe to install updates ? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

I think your safe I doubt Verizon would lock your bootloader. That would wipe your device again
@Shiftydogit, @azn6929 got hold of a screenshot? If yes, pls share.
As you can see OTA notification
My guess is it's probably another patch or possibly a kernel update who knows or bug fix one of the three
Here it is

Might as well just do it lmao
So one of you said you are on nmf260. That is December. So i doubt this is a "new" update, you are just behind. Google only releases on the first Monday of the month. VZ uses the same exact releases. There is no special VZ version.
Update away.

Holy cow, they are two months behind. I had no idea, that is nuts. It is the exact same as the Google December update, FWIW.

That's the crazy part. It is the exact same as what Google released in December. The Pixel's are different...they are only using Googles updates. No changes, no bloat, no nothing.

They are at the link below, posted the first Monday of each month. Dunno how you get them on an unlocked phone, I know it is doable...just dunno how.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
EDIT: LOL, I'm an idiot. The instructions are right at the top of the page I linked to.

You'd just download them then sideload the OTA via recovery or you can flash it via fastboot/ADB but if you have TWRP installed fastboot will replace it with stock recovery
OK so with update my phone lost TWRP and root other than that bootloader is still unlocked and everything seems fine
Also build number changed after update OK then
If you are getting a new Verizon OTA, it is late. My Verizon Pixel updated to NOF26V (Feb security patch), weeks ago. NOF26V is the most current image for Verizon Pixels.
I updated. New build is NOF26V. Everything seems to be fine. But root is gone. lol
Just wondering.
Google is patching it in a few weeks for their Nov patching. I hope Oneplus takes it seriously and we see it soon after. Id say sometime in December
That's included in the monthly security patches. It all depends when Google release the patch and when OnePlus releases an OTA with said patch.
Custom ROMs should getting fairly fast though.
According to androidcentral.com, this issue is fixed in the November, 6th 2017 security patch (n the 4.5.13 OOS upadate, the security patch is September.). The best thing to do is to wait for this patch to be deployed by oneplus and use only mobile data in the meantime
As far as I understood it's a problem within wpa_supplicant. Isn't there a chance to fix this with, e. g. a MAGISK Module?
Omnirom 7.1.2 released a update today, its fixed already
Anyway news on KRACK fix in OOS?

It's not fixed yet...
Still no news on the KRACK Fix ... oneplus must be working on the 5T ... sad that the flagship from May gets so little support ...
It's on the latest update, kinda stupid that it's not Rolling out to everyone at the same time
Yes, it's fixed
You can get OOS 4.5.14 right now if you use xXx's no limits OOS based ROM
But if you want to stay on stock waiting is the best thing to do

If you are running stock unmodified OOS with stock recovery, just download turbo vpn on playstore and set your location to Germany. Then check for the update, you will get it right away. No need to wait!
I think people are saying the 4.5.14 update has the fix (don't quote me on this though)
Now that the latest build fixes this Krack issue, Moderators can close this thread.
Guys I just noticed my phone downloading the software update. When I click on it it doesn't give my any info of what it is. As soon as it finishes the download I'll followup.
Does anyone know if LG pushed out an update for unlocked v20 and if so is it Oreo or just 7.1.1
I hope it's Oreo ?
But honestly I hope it's a good functioning update.
LG has a lot to improve.
I'll followup.
Ok so that update is the security update only.
Not any os update as I hoped....?, Not even 7.1.1
LG thank you ... I have made up my mind.
.... Don't think I'll be sticking with LG for my next phone. ?
What model, and what is the version number now?

US996 unlocked (non-US Cellular) version security update
My LG V20 US996 unlocked phone now shows a security update available. The update is labeled "US99610n".
It's still on 7.0. A year since the last update and this is all we get.

If you can't afford one then make the best of the v20 instead of complaining about updates.
Before I apply the update, my biggest questions are:
- What's the Changelog?
- Does this fix the Dirty Cow vulnerability that allow us to root?

I'm with you on that. Sent an email to LG a few weeks ago stating just that. It took them a whole year for a security update on my US996.

If I'm going to get a phone that isn't well supported for updates but has true functionality, I'll stick with Galaxy note series ....
Google pixel unless they produce a note type stylus I'll pass although I did think about it.
Pixel maybe... Don't know. Let's see if it's discounted.
I think HTC is the only manufacture that started to be good with updates with their later flagship phones. I would even consider HTC before I consider LG again for phones.
Are LG V20 US996 unlocked phones still rootable after the US99610n update?
Would someone who has aleady accepted the newest update be so kind as to check and post the current ARB on their phone?

1. Security update to one of the November patch sets.
2. This is the us996 unlocked that can be bootloader unlocked through LGs website and never needed dirtycow. AFAIK LGs unlocking processes should work fine. If for whatever reason you wanted to use dirtycow anyway its still possible to revert to the previous version since they didn't increment arb.

Hi,
In particular, I wanted to know if this update includes fixes for the KRACK and blueborne vulnerabilities. Do you know where I could find a changelog?
Also, if I do the OTA update do you know if it's going to wipe out TWRP? If so, I might what to wait for a zip file that I can install with TWRP from dimm0k or McNutnut:

it includes those fixes since its at Nov 6 security patch ( Nov 6 exactly has the KRACK fix, while blueborne was fixed in the September patch). I expect taking the ota will wipe twrp however.

Rather not bite. I'll wait until I see what Sony's next move is. I wouldn't give in on the missing headphone jack on any phone.

Mine is a US Unlocked 9960, purchased online.. After today's security update (and researching what an ARB is, and how to access it) my ARB (Anti Rollback Version) number remains 0.

I agree, missing headphone jack is also a deal breaker for me.
For those who have rooted US996's, this thread has links to TWRP flashable images and instructions on how to install them which won't overwrite the the recovery partition as an OTA might do:

Not really sure what this is as it is not mentioned on the T-Mobile update page. Downloading now.

Interesting. I checked System Update and it shows nothing after the Oct 2018 security patch.

Finished. It is the November security patch. Odd that I got it in November OTA.
Another new update available OTA.
Yes !! H87220g .
I want to know is there the camera AI like in the korean version ? Or it is just the security update ?

only SUPDATE
Has anyone been able to snag the 20g KDZ? I am trying to force it, but TMO thinks my phone is up to date with 20f.
EDIT: well, I was able to get the update_s.zip and 20g is still ARB01 which is good.
I am working on hacking together an update.zip that will be flashable in TWRP until someone can find the KDZ.
