No only kernel will be updated if u do so... U can't install security patches directly until u do some changes in the source of the ROM.. better for u would be to update to nougat with latest security patches

hi all,
is there a kernel for the Mi Max Pro (Helium) with the patch applied necessary to bypass SafetyNet? Im currently on the xiaomi.eu Nougat rom and from what i read the only way to bypass the january patch level is a patched kernel.
You can stay on older MIUI or even CM14 released before January update. There is no workaround at the moment afaik.

Hello, I don't want to upgrade to Android 7.1.2, but I want the latest (April) security update for Android 7.1.1.
Is this possible without root?
Otherwise it's a shame.

Google still provides 7.1.1 with the latest security updates. If you want to go the OTA route that doesn't require wiping data, follow the directions at the top of the page in the first link.
all OTAs
direct link to 7.1.1 OTA with April security update

So I want to run Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 on my One M8 which is the final version build by bdogg718 (RR M8 maintainer).
However, the ROM version is from September 26th, 2017 so it has the security patch of that month.
Is there a way I can apply the security patch of November 6th, 2017 to this ROM? I don't have experience in building ROMs myself.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think so. The rom has to be built with those patches.
Use the build by jasio2k - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XD69DwhcY65SIbGmQVig-AU6yTcL69_c/view?usp=drivesdk It has the lastest security patch

I am still on April's nougat update to this day stock non-rooted
How important are the following updates what advantages and disadvantages do they bring ?
Will I loose some of that amazing battery life as some people claim ?
What is the changelog of s244 and s251 ?
With the latest update you will get the Security patch of November and some small Bug Fixes... No disadvantages... Battery and everything else stays the same....

Search on google for lenovo p2 fastboot files or i provide the link below. S233 is a nougat based firmware with feb security patch. It is not a seprate security patch. So everything on your phone will be erased ( except internal storage) after installation.

Hello, I was wondering if I need to update my firmware on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred).
The reason for it is because it shows "1. November 2018" as latest vendor security patch level.
I am currently running LineageOS 17.1 which is based on Android 10 together with the Lineage recovery.
Mainly I have these questions:
1. Do I need to update the vendor firmware? In other words would that even increase the Vendor security patch level?
2. When I checked this website: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/ it shows the latest Vendor Firmware to be from 2021, however with Android 9.0, would that even work with LineageOS 17.1 which is Android 10 level?
3. Would I need to flash back to the official Rom on Android 9.0 in order to then flash to the 2021 firmware ( should be included in the latest official rom anyway) and then flash back to LineageOS 17.1?
Any help is greatly appreciated as this is my first phone on LineageOS. (I did had a couple of other phones in the past with unofficial Roms so I am not a completely noob.)
Thanks and have a good day

LOS has old version of vendors. Yes from 2018.. they build on that... if you wanna updated version go to LOS github and ask there.. that's how it is, nothing can be done here. Only LOS team can help you.
Good luck and stay safe!

If you use LOS, than yes.
Maybe I am a bit dense to understand this, but shouldn't all have the same? I thought Vendor security patch level are bugfixes from the vendor, so it only makes sense to me to include the latest patches in all roms to get this baseline patch level. Ofc every ROM can feel free to increase security even further with additional patches on top of that.

Yap, but every custom Rom has it's own vendor version. LOS has old one and many custom ROMs. It's actually developer decision what version he's gonna use to build rom. That's it. Yes MIUI ROM uses latest. You can't mix them because you'll get bootloop or bricked device.
For latest version you need to ask developer to update it.

The vendor security patch level is just a setting configured here: https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...0038ae0340b1da03ae9c00ff50/BoardConfig.mk#L56
The official LOS 18.1 rom contains at least some vendor blobs from the latest MIUI V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM rom.
That probably means the vendor security patch level date is not accurate and can be ignored.

Yes, it works. Considering you are currently using even older firmware.

You can flash the firmware ZIP from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/. It only updates the various firmware partitions without touching the "boot", "system" and "vendor" partitions (on which LOS is installed).
For some reason the firmware ZIP is missing the new boot logo. It can be updated manually by extracting the file "/firmware-update/splash.img" from the latest MIUI Rom and flashing it in Fastboot Mode with
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
I'm on Lineage OS 18.1 now with Android 11 and figured I just leave it as is. But thanks all for the help
