Not sure about U.S. but here in Europe May is before June (we use the Gregorian calendar).

Ok, you're right of course, but I though since it's *.10, it's rootable. Sorry for the confusion. However, obviously the kernel got updated without a system update. It's now the very same kernel as in the *.15 firmware. How is that possible?

motorola can push/install updates without users consent/action, just pushing the kernel uses very little bandwith, and user may not even notice.

What if you RSD back the original firmware?
This always worked on locked devices too, as long as it's not a downgrade...

There was a bug-fix release for .10, before .15 came out. It was discussed a little bit and IIRC, it was a soak, not a full OTA.

I don't care about the Stagefright fix since the SMS app I use has had it for some time. I would like to get the night mode for my camera though. Hopefully, it will roll out here eventually.

Stagefright affects more than just SMS. That is just to most well known way to exploit it. And many third party apps that fixed stagefright on their end do not include the second fix that Google recently pushed.

Build no? I'm on XT 1550 with LP123.72-47, and don't see any updates.(purchased last week from flipkart, factory installed build)

You need to read up on ASLR and not drink the kool-aid from Google. Like I said I don't worry that much about it and no one running Android 4 or later really needs to.

Yes it's necessary to be on stock recovery.
Also few users have reported bootloop after ota update on unlocked rooted Moto G3. So before uodating go through Q & A threads to avoid any such issue.

Bootloop
My Moto G3 is in this state. The bootloader is unlocked, I have updated via OTA and now it turns black after 2~3 seconds of the start of boot animation. Now I'm trying to download and install a stock ROM. Thanks, Motorola.

You can't blame Motorola for that, it is your fault for unlocking the bootloader. That is why they warn against it and you should always have a backup to flash before doing so.

Yes, I can't. But it doesn't hurt to explain better the reasons for their advise against the mods. As I understood, the problem was with TWRP recovery. If I knew about this before, I would simply had flashed the original recovery before allowing the OTA update.
Now I'm finally with my phone back to business

I think he read the Android security patch level, which is February, hence the title "February security update."

We already had the February security patch level and no this did not update us to March. So the thread title is misleading. Yes we got an update but no it was not a patch level update; however, the baseband version did change from APB6 to APB8

So... Note 3 will get 6.0.1?

I'm guessing it's because this one was posted in the T-Mobile section. You posted yours in the S7 international section.

Will this effect the bootloader? Or any chance of root in the future? I also read this will help with the front camera and better battery life.

I would believe so. I know it changes the bootloader on the S7Edge. I WOULD DEFINITELY STAY AWAY FROM ANY UPDATES IF YOU WANT ROOT IN THE FUTURE. You could miss a potential vulnerability and not be able to revert back down.

any way to disable the tmo update service in the notification? cant disable service update app either.

T-Mobile has pushed out a new security update to both the Samsung Galaxy S7. with Android’s March security patches. the Android version remains 6.0.1 Marshmallow, but the Baseband version changes from G930TUVU1APB6 to G930TUVU1APB8.
Verizon is ready to roll out a similar security update for the S7.

This update from this thread shows Baseband APB8, but only February security update. This has already been mentioned, and it appears your article is incorrect.

Capturing the July OTA file, need a volunteer

I believe the URL for the July update file can be found using the steps below (credit: troyboytn, from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6-edge/general/to-mm-download-link-t3371830). If anyone running the June firmware or earlier could try this, it would be a huge help to those like me who have not received the July OTA yet for whatever reason.
If anyone is currently running the June firmware, I believe we can find the download link by initiating a manual update by dialing *#8736364# in the dialer. Click "Software Update" and the information we need will be the "Server Address"when "Result" is clicked after download is initiated.. You will only get this info if your firmware is not up to date. .

Anyone with root can capture the OTA. In fact if someone does get it,most likely I can make a flashable zip from it. I have done this many times before. Someone with root download it to the phone. The OTA file should end up in fota. After that we should be able to just upgrade with a zip and still keep root. Im already on the newest build but ill make the upgrade zip for everyone.

No they did not block all downloads, they just block ability to download from they servers to PC/Mac/Phone by any browser. You can get OTA if you trying update as you should by checking OTA's in settings menu in phone.

UPDATE: Axon 7 A2017U Build 27

According to this post on the ZTE forums, the OTA should be available in 24-72 hours for the US variant.

"adb logcat" on a computer while checking for the update on the phone. It will always list the update URL. It's a pretty big patch -- 376 MB. Boot and recovery are modified but no separate fastboot. So either that's been added into the normal partition commands, or it's still going to be an OTA to enable bootloader unlocking.

Can't wait to hear from the brave souls who update first have to say. I'm goign to keep my root/twrp for now

"B27" Downloaded and installed. Not all of what everyone/most where asking for, but substantial enough to make a believer out of me. Security patch level at September 1, 'Backup account' no longer greyed out, tweeked signal strength indicator, audio no longer drops out when starting camera and probably a host of other tweeks under the hood.

No announcement about stock images, not good.

I have OTA

Strangely enough, I have dropbox installed after the update.
Unless I butt installed it just before (I do not use dropbox).

I'm fairly sure that the last update for the EU model installed an app as well (though not Dropbox).

How do we make a twrp flashbacks zip out of this that won't take away twrp?

Anyone that rooted without unlocking the bootloader tried this update?

I'm currently on stock B20, locked and unrooted.
I posted the same in @DrakenFX's thread, but I'm happy to try out whatever folks think would be best:
1.) Unlock via the thread instructions and then update to B27
2.) Update to B27, then try to unlock via the thread instructions
3.) Other?
