Applying latest security patches to Android ROM (RR in my case) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Try the XPerience Rom, this has the 5th May security update. I'm using this ROM at the moment and it's very good.

How to update security patch on MM custom rom?

I'm on Mokee MM, and need to update my security patches (else will get kicked off the company network)
What is the best way to do this? Would installing a kernel with the latest patches work? Mokee stopped updating MM in April ...

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

When owning a midrange "motonovo" device, being optimistic and having hope is the best strong suit for waiting on updates ?

I'm hoping feb 9th. My birthday lol. I've tried every ROM out there and they're all excellent, but I just can't deal with the camera. I need shutter speed and iso adjustments so pictures of things like the moon look like what we see rather than a random white dot. I haven't been able to find any ROM that does it better than a stock variant with Moto camera in professional mode, so I'm stuck on Nougat until Lenovotorola gets off their butts and gives us Oreo.
Just recieved today November patch, lol, XT1680 retar channel. Just Wondering why I was at compilation NPNS25.137-15-11 and now is NPN25.137-97.

I guess they want all phones to be on same build when they push out Oreo and onwards.

It looks like oreo is closer.. end of january or start of february probably.. unless lenovo screw up again
-------------
This security patch changelog was up since november, so there is no reason for us not to get oreo, i mean it is probably outdated.
Can anyone with XT1686 (Indian variant) post a screenshot of the build number of the latest January update?

I know that a January security patch is due tho but it won't be 137-92/93

You might be right
Does anyone know why my g5 plus hasn't been updated in so long,
It says software channel retgb and I'm still on 1st august security patch, honestly this is making me want to go back to iPhone, that's getting on for 5 months out of date for basic security.
retgb here also, security is only an issue if you use phone unwisely, in locations wifi you cannot trust, apps installed from unknown sources or dodgy websites, if not doing any of the above you should be fine.
There is only so much security you can build into any OS, the rest is down to you.

Google puts out the updates, in general; every month or as needed. I have no communications with the developer GothicIV. I just check his web site and if the security updates are there, I download and apply to my phone.
GothicIV posted September 2020 updates yesterday (19th).
October 2020 security updates are available...
November 2020 security updates available.
December 2020 security updates are available
Hey there,
I have attempted to update to the 3 most recent security patches (Oct 25, Nov 7, Dec 13) for LineageOS 16.0 (potter) provided by gothicVI, but after successfully flashing them my phone bootloops back to TWRP 3.4.0.0 after trying to boot system for a few minutes.
I have logcat logs for each security patch boot attempt.
I am currently stuck on the Oct 9 security patch as it is the latest version that will boot on my phone.
Where I can get help with this?
gothicVI is awesome, so far Moto G5 Plus seems pretty much abandoned, pixel experience lags too much on my 2gb ram variant. Time to buy a new phone but for now gonna use this.

Is that the only issue? I flashed crDroid 6.13 from the latest twrp with no problems so far. Any issues besides restore I should be aware of if I decide to move to another rom?

Update firmware with LineageOS

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
