Hello. First of all , I'd like to apologize if my question is dumb and has already been answered... But I'm running out of ideas , i would like to install the Pure Nexus Rom because I'm on Cyanogen but the last build completely messed up my phone... And I don't know what Vendor image I should download ... I don't even know what that is... Thanks a lot for your future answers!

Either use fastboot or TWRP 3.0 to flash the MMB29Q vendor before flashing the February OTA based Pure Nexus build. Check a rom's changelog to see which OTA it is based on, then flash that vendor image if need be. I must also add, several roms are based on the latest February AOSP branch which is MMB29U, the 5X MMB29Q vendor is what still needs to be installed. This is not a stupid question, you want to ask things like this to be sure you are in the know.

So what exactly does the vendor image do? Why do we need to update to update the ROM after a new android version is released?

From what I understand it's the drivers specific for that device, created by the device manufacturer. What I can't figure out is whether I should download those from this site of if they should be provided by the manufacturer somewhere? Like on lg.com?

I've never used LG's website, but the vendor image is included in each 5X factory image:

So there's been a lot of different threads about the march updates, and encryption and twrp. At the moment, I am on the Q build with twrp 2.7.8.2, stock rom decrypted with root and xposed. So if I wanted to update, should I use the V build or the J build? people have been saying there are issues with decryption in TWRP 3.0.0.0 using the J build, but if I'm decrypted should i flash the J build?

Use the V build for now until the issues are worked out. Upgrading later is alot easier than downgrading.
It still has march security updates but J build includes alot of fixes for the device like sluggishness, wifi etc.

Ok thanks!
Hallo guys & gals, I wanted to ask you guys about monthly Security Patches as Google has made bound all the OEMs to release monthly security patches for their devices. In this regard most of the devices are getting monthly or at least once in a couple of months but my Honor-6x is not getting any OTA update since April 2017.
Do you guys have any idea or does any body have any Honor 6x with a more recent security update patch?

Honor 6X is getting updated to latest patches every month, currently it's in August Patch 2017...!!!

Every month lol. The best Joke i have read.
Well, it depends on the region, US models are rarely updated (unlike EU and Indian variants)
I saw in your signature that your phone model is BLN-21. Could you check if your build ends with B360? If yes, an update should come out soon but meanwhile you should be able to force it, by going on system update > tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner > download latest update (if the option isn't there you cannot force it yet)
As you can see in these screenshots, in the 1st system update says that there aren't updates; in the 2nd, the option mentioned above is the first of the list, and finally in the 3rd i can download the update
Whoops i forgot the third screenshot, here it is
Well guys as you can see in my shared screen shot my device is on B361 of update level and the region is actual Pakistan which falls under middle east region. Now I actually created the thread to make it sure, whether my region is getting updates or not?
And thanks, @RedSkull23, I have tried your suggestion but as you see my device is already on B361.
I think my real problem is the update via firmware finder, and that's why my device isn't getting OTA updates. As the below screen shot reveals my device is on B361 but the security patch is 5 April 2017, and it is the time when this update was released and I updated my device through FF, since than I have tried a lot but I couldn't get any OTA update.

When I still had my 6x, the patch would come about 10-15 days after Google released it. Couldn't say it's timely, but it indeed come monthly.
Btw, I have a Chinese model 6x.
Monthly in China ? And others can go to hell ?
I had to push B365 after about 3 months after B360. Others don't get it at all.

Can you check or, do you remember if previous build number matches with the number of your actual build, or if not? If they doesn't match, maybe the FF update you did has moved you on a different build number, and so your software update won't find nothing because that's the latest package of your ACTUAL build, instead of the previous. Personally, i get confused every time that i finish to speak about FF updates because with all that packages stored and selectable, the number of possibilities that could provoke an issue are too much to be hold in mind at the same time
You are absolutely right FF has its very serious pros & cons. And yes, I think I remember the previous build number of my device, it was B360 and I did a full package download and dload upgrade on my device, and I also remember I was too much enthusiastic to find a sulotuion for the FM radio problem, yet in vain.

If update size is 200-300 mb then no, it will have the twrp recovery. Make sure you have stock recovery before trying OTA update

It may have the recovery then which may replace twrp. Better replace beforehand and then update as ota update will cause issue while boot on rooted phone
New update is coming..!!!

I got an OTA update yesterday (the first since I purchased the device). I think I've been spoiled by custom firmware describing exactly what each update has changed.
As far as I can tell, the info section doesn't give any details whatsoever about the update itself (e.g. if it added new features and what they are, or was just a security patch etc). Is there anything deep within the strange menu setup of this phone that gives this info, or info on the LG website with this info etc?

It might just be the April security patch.

According to J. Williams who is reviewing the US version, the software update provided an update to the audio, made the speakers seem louder.

For a wifi system update vs. a factory file, is there a difference in performance?
Thanks

Are you talking about a full sys image or an ota sideload? I recently learned the latest full sys image of fully up-to-date with security patches bit the ota will only bring you to the current month that you choose so if we are in July and you sideload may security ota then you won't be current. I believe the answer is no but I am not an expert dev so I'm sure someone else will let you know
Currently I'm on the q beta, but in general I'd be using the Ota releases.
There is no difference in performance. They're just different ways to install.
