Will Android N get security patches? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Might be a dumb question, but will android N preview get security patches like Marshmallow?

I would assume the security patches are included in each preview monthly. So yes.

New firmware out OTA (UK Sim Free version, model STV100-4)

Just got an OTA update down, 16.1 mb in size.
Now on Build Number AAD250, still Android 5.1.1 i.e. no Marshmallow goodness yet
It's just BB's monthly security patch
I concur, no noticeable changes (Marshmallow mention was a joke, 16.1mb lol)

Same here.

No March Security Update?

Not even with the latest PB5 update we still have the February Security Patch. Interesting
I got the PB5 patch over a week ago.

Same. But it still has the February Security update.

What's the latest baseband?

I could of sworn I saw browsing the PN forum that the latest was 3.64. But after receiving the latest June update on my stock 6p, I still have 3.61. so what is the latest? Is there a reason Google wouldn't include the latest?

3.62 & 3.64 were bundled with N packages, although they are backwards compatible. You'll have to manually pull the radio/bootloader from the new track if you want to update ahead of time.

How do you block Android N update?

I am on Android N preview 5 (bootloader unlocked and running ElementalX kernel)...How do I prevent an auto updates of firmware (I was looking in Titanium and I wasn't sure what to freeze.?
Thanks
You can disable it right in development options. It's called "automatic system updates"
Turn it off.

Android N available in Toolkit buT not OTA

Another interesting question I have is when I put my 6p to stock with Toolkit i seen 2 or 3 android N version's available to restore
But yet my phone is stock now and up to date with mtc19x.
Whats this about can it be restored and updated to N only with tool kit. Why don't I see any more updates available as OTA if N version is available as a restore software

If you are talking about WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit then those are all Android N previews and yes you can flash them. They are not the Android N release everyone is waiting for any day now.
