Hello,
I own a SM-N910W8 which unfortunately hasn't received any security updates since May. What are my options on getting a firmware which has the latest October security patch?
Can I flash the latest SM-N910T stock firmware?
Are there any custom roms which will have the latest security patch?
Thanks,
Kilree
If i'm not mistaken, Security patch's should update on their own.... When the manufacturer releases them. Google updates monthly, sometimes twice monthly. Samsung, I don't think they care about it tbh. I have June 1st on my note 4 running stock 6.0.1.. I'm about to backdate, then root and Custom Rom. Then from now on i'm buying Direct from Developer.
After doing a little research. Oct Patch is being pushed now by Samsung. Even Verizon has it... They are usually the last to get any updates pushed to the public. So check with them, check your OTA. You should be able to update with it. (it's a big one, bug fixes and other stuff for the Note 4 as well. )

I just got the notice for the VZ S7 Edge official update.
Downloading it now.
update -Darn it! It's just the October security patches. No Nougat yet.

Official Android 7.0 won't come until after they test the beta for a month or so...the update you got was a monthly security update PI3. Anything after the PH1 update (update prior to PI3), you won't be able to flash the beta (either via official method or using ODIN unofficially). It'll error. I would be shocked if official Android 7.0 would come before year's end, however, anything's possible I suppose...
So as the title suggests. I bought my phone 2 months ago, and since I got it it hasn't updated once. Nothing, not so much as a security patch or anything.
I've tried googling this but nothing comes up. I obviously check via system update - and it says it's up to date.
My build number ends 137-33.
Android security patch 1st January 2017.
It's not rooted. And all stock.
Is this normal?
My phone came with same build and you're not alone. Twiddling thumbs may help with the long wait, or root and try some custom ROMs. I've got the June 5th security patch running CyberOS which is based on Android 7.1.2 and other custom ROMs are similar. There's a debloated stock ROM based on India's G5+ update (they got one already) with the March patch at least. That said, there are rumbles ours is finally coming soon if you do want to remain stock and get the OTA.
What does it say under Settings > About Phone> Software Channel?
There hasnt been an update for the UK Moto G5 Plus yet.

I asked a similar question in a separate thread and maybe you know, is the update 137-35-5 that is available as a zip able to be flashed over this same build, 137-33 I have now? I unlocked my bootloader but stopped short of flashing twrp or rooting. I think the 35-5 update only has the May security patch only but someone uploaded the full firmware. Any opinions are welcome.

Yeah, I cannot believe that some regions were being updated months ago to March and subsequently May security patches and the UK is still yet to receive any updates at all. Why do manufacturers make their lives so much more difficult by having such variances by region? A single software version for all regions seems to work just fine for Google and their Nexus/Pixel lines.

I fully agree with you mate and i think it is only going to get worse with Lenovo pumping out more and more models.
I am in same boat my friend
Has this phone received ANY updates? When I run Motorola's update through the Android Settings app, I'm told the phone is up-to-date, but the phone is still running Android 7.0 with a 1/1/17 security patch... is this some kind of joke?
My updates are from September. Not sure what's going on with your updates. You can manually update via fastboot or TWRP if you aren't getting them...

How do I do this?
The UK finally got the May security patch a week or so ago and when i asked Moto UK about updates they were a little terse with their answer.
I have loved my Moto phones since owning a Moto Defy but i have been looking at Nokia handsets and they seem very good for the money and with the promise of timely updates.
There's a thread in here somewhere with all the firmware links for TWRP. Those are all flashable if you have it. If not, there's another thread with fastboot firmware. Just gotta find which you need and get cracking

Yes, I believe the August 1st security patch, Android 7.0 is the latest update for the US variant. Build number is NPN25. 137-83.
I got mine from Amazon UK and it's on the august patch.
It's dual SIM, that might make a difference?
I have the Amazon Prime exclusive version (U.S. XT1687) with 7.0 (NPN25.137-83), Security Patch 8/1/2017

i am using Indian variant and having 1st November 2017's security update.
Can anyone drop the link to download august build stock rom for xt1686
Hello, thanks for the feedback.
5 months without any security update, that's a lot of time.
Mine is on reteu, NPNS25.137-33-11.
Just talked to motorolla on the chat and they said that don't know when the next security patch will be available. For a phone that has release last year on February, the support/updates should be more active. A little bit disappointed with that.

I just bought another nexus 6p( was enrolled into beta program ). I did flash the latest image from google, and yeah, seems like the last ota security patch is from january. Can someone confirm this ? I forgot to look at my last nexus 6p.
Latest sec Update february 5th here...but flashed myself due to unlocked and rooted...
I updated to Oreo OTA on Sunday. Have February security patch installed.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
do you guyes know to to downgrade to 8.0??
i've manually flashed all the missing updates i think its the only way.
Yeah, something about the beta program of 8.1 froze updates at the January security patch for me as well.
I ended up dirty flashing the release 8.1 system image and everything works fine now, still don't get OTA update notifications though.
A few days ago, I did get the march 5 security update, after flashing this image 8.1.0 (OPM3.171019.016, Mar 2018) from google .
after flashing all the missing updates , OTA updates started to roll out as normal to me
Hi XDA fam. I'm currently running NPH 25.200.22 unlocked and rooted with Majisk since it was released. Work and life has prevented me from keeping up with the update(s) that have come out since then. However, there was a thread put out a while back in the General forum that provided the instructions to update that came out after 25.200.22. I have been having a hard time finding this thread (don't know if it was deleted or not) and the search function isn't helping. Does anyone recollect the title or can point me to the instructions to flash (dirty) the OTA? I really don't want to go through the process of wiping the phone and putting on the firmware.
I appreciate the help.
I think 25.200.22 is the latest release and most likely the final "official release"
My phone lists the Security patch level as October 1, 2017.
