I am still on 6.0 Feb 1st patch level seems like a lot of people are on 6.0.1, any info on how to update.
Thanks
Check the general and dev forums.
I passed down my Nexus 10 to my father a few months ago, and the current ROM has got some corruption and so I'd like to flash something else.
He's essentially not techsavvy at all. I'm just looking for something rather stable for the moment that's moderately up to date for security reasons.
Once LineageOS starts building snapshots for the Nexus 10 I'll regularly update that with OTAs.
Any suggestions?
If you are ging for security a nougat rom is the best since it has the january security Update. But if you need a fully working rom you should Go for marshmallow. In this case the Last cm Release is fine. But it has only the december security Update in it.

Any idea where official cm13 is hosted/archived? I'll take your suggestion and install the last stable build of it. Then update his tablet to lineage once their stable builds start.
Updates are live, installing on Pixel XL, but zero information about the fixes or improvements on Google Bulletin. It says no Pixel security fixes this time included, no information about new features or other fixes too. So only general Android security fixes this time I guess.
Announcements
There are no Pixel security patches in the February 2019 Pixel Update Bulletin.
Functional patches
All Pixel devices running Android 9 will receive an Android 9 update as part of the February OTA. This quarterly release contains many functional updates and improvements to various parts of the Android platform and supported Pixel devices.
Does anyone already received the OTA ?

I manually installed on Monday afternoon. All went well. Flashed factory images (retained data). Booted TWRP to flash Magisk. Only nuance was that new version of Magisk was released at about the same time, so had to play around with that for a bit. Standard monthly upgrade. No surprises. All seems to be running well.
I'm on magisk but I haven't receive the OTA even when pushing the button. With magisk shouldn't I still get the notification (manual or not) ?? I know that installing it with magisk is a whole different thing... I always install full otas manually via twrp, but I would like to install a ota with the magisk method... too much time consuming when doing via twrp
I realized that my A1 did not ask me to update for a couple of weeks, maybe even 2 months.
As was busy, it did not bother me ...
When checking for updates now, I see:
Your System is up to date
Android 8.1.0,
Security Patch level: 5 January 2019
Any I idea why I am no longer offered to update?

It could be because of any modifications made to your device, however you can still flash new Android 9 (Pie) with Miflash. Many people also say it is better to stay on Oreo because of stability and camera quality.
Another solution to get Pie update is to use VPN and clear data of some applications (I don't remember which ones).
That's the reason (cmaera, xposed ..) I decided to stay with Android 8.1.
Besides Magisk there are no modifications ...
Thanks!
That's wierd. The last Oreo version for Mi A1 is on November security patch.
Well, in any case, would be enough with cleaning "Google Play Services' cache.
All times I got a delay in software updates from Xiaomi for MiA1, this solved the problem (happened to me twice).
Just to be clear, this isn't related to Google Play apps.

Clearing the Google Play Services cache did not change anything
Thanks!

Did you restarted device after that?
You remind me that I had to reboot after cleaning GP Services, then searched for update manually. I forgot to mention that, my fault.
If that doesn't solve your problem, I feel this is related to a completely different reason. Just in case, check time and date/location to be set by provider instead of manual.
However, the procedure I recommended to you usually works and I found it in another thread around here, perhaps there are other methods to reach software update correctly.

Even GP-Services Clear Data and reboot does not change anything!
In general the phone is working fine ...
After all you have done I have to ask you this: are you sure you are holding a Mi A1? Because the January 2019 security patch comes with Pie not Oreo, the last patch for Oreo is on November 5 2018.

Yes! I am talking about my Xiaomi A1.
The Build Number is: OPM1.171019.026.V9.6.8.0.ODHMIFE and
the Android Security Patch level: 5 January 2019
I am aware that it does not match ...
The last update I did was on Jan 10th, using XiaomiFlash.
The image I used was: tissot_images_V9.6.8.0.ODHMIFE_20181031.0000.00_8.0_9ea450fe98

Whoah, that's strange. In your case I would make a clean flash of stock oreo ROM and it should fix it.

Maybe something has altered the security patch date and cause the update engine to go haywire, because that build number is definitely from the November security patch.
Agreed, a clean flash with should fix it .
Not sure if Oreo or Pie is better for me (camera, xposed, tasker ...)
Still it remains a mystery what happened ...

If youre talking about stock experience - Oreo is better, but I tried Gcam on stock Pie and got incredible results. Also installed Magisk with one module which enables 1080p 60 FPS.
Which camera for PIE are you using? Does it support all the 3 lenses?
Currently I am using https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18d1.apk. which supports all 3 ...
I'm not new to hacking android via rooting and installing mods via bootloader menu, just a bit rusty. Since I bought my S7 in 2016, it has remained with factory stock and hasn't been updated with any security patches since Oreo's update in 2018. Phone is dragging and battery life isn't the greatest. Can anyone give me some ideas as to the best bootloader for unlocking, and the best, simplistic interface mod that also has great battery life write-in? Need links for any downloads. Thanks!
