Are you rooted because some of the tests may require root access which is why they are inconclusive

If you want to perform anything that has to do with debugging or of that sort, then root is much needed.

My K10 is rooted and I just try to update last week, update its Android security patch level unfortunately it goes to bootloop then tried to reroot it using the latest update hahahah no luck the supersu package didn't install. Meaning you can root only your phone if you have the previous patch level ex: 2016 Android patch. Probably this new Nougat would be pain in ass also hahahha (referring to root)

You got bootloop because you tried to update rooted phonr via OTA, that's not going to work. Root and OTA updates doesn't go together.

Yep probably because of its new boot image anyway the 2017 patch can't install the supersu package

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

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.

Well, the moto's that updated to oreo are running the jan 1st security patch... Guess if we receive it and it is not oreo we may get it by february or march.... I'm being optimistic and hope to receive it the first days of february

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.

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
I don't think the january patch will be released alone, it will come along with oreo mid-feb

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.

No, this is the last Motorola I will own, my partner's s8 has had about 6 updates in that time.

This is not the proper section of the threads to post this. You should actually ask in the zx3 sites. Not here

Yeah but isn't a developer site. Someone may have a solution.
This happened with me on my s9+.
If you can flash a twrp on the phone, just look for a Android 8 or 9 light weight custom os for your model and flash it through recovery.
Then try the patch certificate(repair network) option with any samsung box.
Use chimera for patch cert ..
