Available at:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
At a minimum it should fix the CVE-2015-1805 vulnerability. If you see any other changes post here.
The bootloader and the radio are the same as mmb29v.

I'm not seeing that under Shamu Firmware. There is some stuff for it under Binaries, but not Firmware.
UPDATE:
Its showing up now.

This should be the list of the patches in this update. It's the April security bulletin.

MMB29X
Hey all. Ive been off the scene since July. I finally got my replacement N6. As soon as I turned it on, It had this update rarin to go so I installed it. Is this going to have any effect on unlock, root, custom recovery? I ask because it is brand new stock untouched other than the update.
Thanks Fellas

So, I was on the 6.0 Build for a long time but finally decided it was time to update. I moved up to this build and have had some issues. Before I just replaced the Hosts file to get ad blocking. But with the 6.0.1 builds the System is full. Easy workaround was creating a symlink to a hosts file that is placed in /sdcard/ But in this build it seems like it isn't doing any ad blocking. Anyone have any ideas why?
Thanks
Basically I have 3 wants aside from stock, I don't root so I can keep Android Pay, I want ad-blocking, and edit the Build.prop to net.tethering.noprovision=true

Hello all. Has anyone gotten V4A to work with this latest update? I flashed the latest version and ended up locked at the Google Screen. Thank God for backups.

No, its a Nexus. But look into the new SuperUser by Chainfire, it is systemless now. So version 2.67 or higher. Also the system partition is full now. You cant write to it without deleting a couple of items first like unused keyboards.

I have seen so many new versions of Viper, and as I said in my previous post I turned on my phone from brand new, fast boot, unlocked bootloader and rooted. I installed TWRP, version 3001. So at this moment I am stock rooted with TWRP version MMB29X. Can anyone kindly point me to the best and correct TWRP flashable version of Viper? Without V4A, I feel like I have half a phone. Thanks to anyone who can give me a hand. Peace guys.

PSA: latest xposed v86 works with our phones

Latest version of xposed framework now works with our phones and does not need "disable resource hooks".

What version of SuperSU have you installed?

The only SuperSU that works AFAIK is 2.64, once installed, you can update the binary, as normal.
I have PMed chainfire about this, not sure if he'll bother to look into it.

Ok, thanks, well, I'll try it out then After another backup of course....
I also found 2.64 the only one to work with B560

Installed Xposed V86 and it does show as active. Gravitybox was useless. Got MinMin Gaurd installed, not sure if it works yet. Will play about more through the week. I don't need much more from it.
Really, the main thing is add blocking. B560 is pretty good as is.

yeah, anything that themes will most likely fail due to emui.
most of the modules are designed to work with AOSP, and fail with heavily customised roms.

I've installed the Xposedinstaller and then flashed Xposed v86-arm, but after wiping dalvik/cache and rebooting I just get stuck on the Huawei logo. Anyone can tell me how long you had to wait for the phone to finally finish booting? I waited about 20 minutes not sure if this is happening to everyone. I have MT7-L09 with B560, rooted with SuperSU 2.64PRO.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yeah, can take a while. The phone sits there with the animated Huawei logo and you think it's dead but it's optimising, just doesn't let you know. I usually leave it on a charger and come back to it later.

S8 S8+ Marshmallow + xposed

I'm not a developer but would love to be able to install a 6.0.1 rom onto my S8. Maybe a custom rom could be made, or is there a way of downgrading the firmware?
Maybe I'm being backwards but I love Xposed so much I have given my S8+ to my partner until I can get Xposed working on it. Don't know how much longer I can cope with the s7e
Many thanks in advance

That's not possible. Well it might be possible but it's gonna take a lot. Samsung maybe released Nougat sources for the s8.Your best bet is to hope xposed comes to Nougat. I am also a S8 user and wishing I got xposed with all my favourite mods working.

Would it not be possible to take an s7 marshmallow build, and drop it into an s8 rom, basically replacing everything except the camera (there is a port of this already) and the kernel.
EDIT: we'd want to dl a tool to change the dpi(plenty on the play store).

Maybe if you could get aosp on the s8 and build android 6 for it, but it'll be a while before aosp is available, by then xposed will be available anyway.

amplify and a couple of others.

Marshmallow and lollipop were both horrible! No matter what modules were used. I don't miss using xposed one bit the newer android is taking care of a lot of the problems that xposed was needed for on those versions of android

Google Pay Busted on Android 10

Got a message from Google Pay saying that my phone is rooted or is running uncertified software.
I have a T-Mobile variant that I converted , without root, to international. Anyone else see this issue?

Read. This is an old problem for years. Is your bootloader unlocked? Not rooted? Yes this breaks GPay. Hence, Magisk, root, systemless and Hide.
Easy fix.

I'm not rooted. Bootloader is locked.
I just booted into bootloader to double check, and it is locked and secure boot is enabled

You're going to need root to get this fixed. So first go this link and follow the instructions in the first post to get Magisk on your device.
Next, you may need to install the latest Magisk Manager. Link here.
With Magisk Manager on your device, you can install both "Busybox for Android NDK" and "MagiskHide Props Config" modules.
After a reboot, use a terminal app (I used Termux) to setup MagiskHide Props as per the instructions here. I just used the available OnePlus 6T fingerprint.
With it all setup, the device will show up as certified.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not rooted, and really don't want to root.
That is besides the point though, why is the official release of the OS having the issue.

When you say "official" release, did it come OTA, or did you download it, or use the updater from
the play store?
OnePlus isn't releasing 10 "officially" to the 6T, got a few bugs left to squish.

Yep

No, works fine. But I don't have a converted variant - all stock.
If you go back to stock as it is with T-variant (search for MSM tool), is it certified again?

Open Beta 2 T-Mobile

Has anyone tried to flash the new Beta update to the OnePlus 6T TMobile version? Does it still give the same error "Build Version does not match Hardware version"?

I just downloaded and installed the open beta 2 and it's great! I'm going to give it a week and "test the engine and tires." I still have my Pie firmware, just in case.
NOTE: I installed using the local update method. I was rooted also with pie.

Main OP question was if you flash android 10 via zip and tried flashing beta on top to see if it works like it did on android 9. Please let me know if anyone tried this as well. Thank you in advance.

No 'build version does not match hardware version' error when flashing the new beta to TMO converted one plus 6t. I used TWRP 3.3.1.28 and all is good.

We still don't have the "reserve" partition though. OnePlus fonts will be missing and show up as italic fonts. A few apps are also gone but can be installed from play store. You wont pass Safety net so you will miss out on Netflix, etc.
No F/C's. Not sure on battery yet.
Everything else does seem good! I am enjoying it!

I used patched MSM tool to get TMobile variant to international ROM without unlocking bootloader and then I local upgraded to Android 10 stable, then local upgraded to OB 2 and all is well!

So I'm on Android 10 Stable with bootloader unlocked. What happens if I relock bootloader? Will I go into bootloop on restart, and will it get rid of the warning on restart, or do I need to do what @bigmikey307 did?
Update : I did the above but didn't go to beta 2

for beta you need to flash via local update since you're on the official update yet. link is on the beta thread or on the Oxygen Updater app from playstore

Nope, not certified. Someone posted some links in the Official Stable thread with instructions on how to do it using root and some magisk modules.

So like @Scott Mentioned, it requires root to pass at the moment. The Magisk mod is called Magiskhide props config and it works perfectly well as a workaround. Good luck!

I'm probably overlooking something obvious but I have no idea what it is.
Here's the story; I have a T-Mobile OP6t converted to International.
Flashed the update to OB31 (Open Beta 2).
I have Magisk and Titanium Backup installed, both with root access allowed.
However, I'm unable to get TB to actually uninstall some of the system apps I don't want.
Also, I can't copy and paste (via Solid Explorer) my edited HOSTS file to block ads.

The OP Weather app for instance, the OP square and round icon packs, e few more that I dont recall. All of them could be downloaded from the play store. You only need the font fox magisk module referenced earlier in this thread. You wont notice these missing apps on a dirty install but you will see it on a clean install or factory reset.

Reinstalling the ROM ZIP via in-built updater fixes the issue. Done it multiple times.
