August Security Patch? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I'm on PH7 as of know and have the September security update. Has the August update rolled out yet for Sprint S7's.
Apparently it adds vulkan API support.

I thought it had. How would a lay person know?

Settings, about info, security patch version
The only reason I want to know is because dolphin emulator supports vulkan, and it's included in the August security update, which for me, I don't have yet.

I have the latest updates

We're not using a vulnerability to root, we're using a leaked file signed by Samsung. No vulnerability needed! And there are always some exploits just haven't found them yet. If it was made by man it can be cracked by man its just a matter of will, time and knowledge.

Ota Update

Same boat here..
Nope you cannot root. You need to be on a December security patch or earlier. The newer firmwares patched the dirtycow exploit. And since you are on the Sprint variant, you have no kdz available to downgrade. Unfortunately you are stuck for the time being.

New update...

Hello,just to check if someone else got this..

So far and as I had this device (since March 2017) T-Mobile have been keeping up with the monthly security patches. I have another s7 edge with the unlocked firmware and has not been the case. I'm really surprised about this TBH.
Hopefully we get the Android Oreo update soon

Mia1 laggy since Pie

I had been using the mia1 for about half a year.
Im happy with Oreo and i gt the Pie update last Jan.
I thought it will be better but it turns out the phone went laggy af. Is there a solution for it or do we have to wait until Feb Update to fix it? Or simply downgrade bck to Oreo?
I have been out of touch since recently and don't know if anyone has got the near- perfect solution for it but as per experts, "Downgrading to Oreo isn't easy" they say.
