You're joking, right? Blueborne, man. Probably the worst Bluetooth security vulnerability in a while, if not ever. Basically every OS has had it patched across the board except - surprise! - Android.

There's an official thread about that issue here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z-Force/Moto-Z2-force-TMobile-not-updating/td-p/3833111 Are you rooted, unlocked, or anything like that?

All good, buddy. I only recently - as in, since the start of this year - started seriously following Android (lack of) security. It's pretty scary once you start keeping up with it. Basically the entire Android ecosystem is where Windows was pre-XP SP2.

no worries! yep, all good. i used to do source builds for my nexus 5, but sold that 2 years ago for an LG G4, that i traded in on my Z2F so i've been kinda out of the loop so to speak in following android myself. hoping that will change with this phone. kernel source is out, should only be a matter of time for twrp
but back on topic, im wondering if i will get the update since ive unlocked. i took the august patch before did it, so guess we will see

i'm a part of that thread as Mike-Mike
Yeah I'm the creator of the thread. Sure day was the first day it wasn't being sent. A user on our team used my flash all and got the update last Saturday and it's odd TMobile hasn't came out with a full stock updated rom like other carriers have.
Never thought i would see the day.
Its patched it to the May security release which seems a bit behind the times still.
I was as shocked as you were, creation date 6th June, personally wonder why they bothered considering update content.
Ray
Standby time seems to be very much improved, a 2% drop over night and that was it.
Can I apply the update with my device being rooted with magisk or do I need to uninstall magisk first? Saw somewhere people using flashfire but I am not sure if I need to apply it from there as I have twrp installed. Grabbed the update so will upload.

Don't tell anyone but it was a joke, the UK was seemingly ignored for months then 2 updates in 2 weeks.

Some guy on fb said that by the end of December or at the first week of January, we'll start getting Oreo. I can't believe that but I may be wrong

Someone's grandma's uncle's cousin said on twitter that it'd be out tomorrow. But who knows...
Lol seriously people...
Since August, I've been receiving at least one update EVERY month.
This one is out - and it's not even the end of November.
Its unprecedented! Anyone else? I think Samsung is doing very well. And the phone is better with battery usage after every update.
I'm very impressed... anyone else?
November....
Wow.
December security update!
They're like clockwork now.
And....where's everyone gone?!
I also received the update today. 2 updates in a single month from Samsung!

I'm like....What's going on? Am I awake? ?
Still... it's good, no?
And my phone is running like silk.
Onward.
I confirm. I get one update each month with the date of security level set on the first day of the previous month.
Another one!
Loving it!
So much infact I just got my front and back screen replaced.
New-Found respect for my S6+!
Is the latest one from 1st January 2018?

It would be the same one just issues on a different day. It's January though.
Amazing.... The S6 Plus is updating faster than the Mate 9, OnePlus 3T & 5T, the HTC U11, the Xiaomi Mi6 & the S8 Plus.

From a marketing standpoint it is really amazing, cause Samsung made S6E+ too good. They would normally bury a too good phone.

Of all the phones I'm carrying, the S6 edge plus is the only one getting updates every single month.
On time. Like clockwork.
It's pretty amazing.
Even my partner's 8+ is nowhere near it.

I read your reply today and I've checked if I have an update waiting for me aswell and it turns out although we live in different countrires in EU thre's an sec. update waiting for me.... about the same size.
But this one is strange. Even if full LTE signal It downloads very slowly. I wonder why?
BTW you have nice theme. Do you beleive I'm still runninng the stock defaut theme..... gosh...
I'm sure (I hope) You all (especialy XDA users) know the theory of making a device worse in performance (more lagging, lessm battery life etc.) by hidding a spcial code in sec. updates.
Well maybe that's what Samsung is doing cause like I've told You a thousand times S6E+ is (maybe until S9) the pbest fone release yet.
To motivate ppl to upgrade even from S8 Samsung may start rolling out bad updates.
Today I've talked to a guy that suddenly, 2-3 days after the premiere of S9/S9+ saw that his S8 has suddenly slowed down. He didn't install any new apps or did nothing unusual. Even didnt get the Oreo update.
Think about that.
I've isntalled the sec update. Have now from 1st Feb 2018 and for some time I see that espcially the battery life is going suddenly down.
You need to know that since I purchaed the phone I used it only once a month. Latley 4 times a month. Never installed more apps than 5. Even a loooong time ago after purchase I got rid of Microsoft apps and some other non Google and non Samsung.
Something fishy is about that.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK about this situation with these updates?
Is there any way of getting security patches while using a custom rom?

Good question but I estimate 90% the answer would be NO
Hey guys,
I've been using my Honor 8 Pro for a year now, I really like it.
But there's a side to Honor/Huawei that I really dislike and that is the lack of software support/updates. I've been waiting for the Oreo update for months now and still nothing. Even worse, I'm still on B185 and check for updates every day and never an update available. We're almost in April and this seems like just lazy company policy. "Screw those 1 year old phones" or something like that.
However, I have been reading on a lot of forums that a lot of people in Europe (C432) have already received the update... What's the holdup? I don't really understand this rollout in phases and how they select IMEIs for receiveing the updates...
Anyone able to tell me what's going on with this? It feels like I'm in a Monty Python's joke or something!
Thanks in advance!
Same here. Looks like nobody in Spain had received the OTA either.
Same here, I'm in Malaysia(C636), still oreo update, although just received B189 update.
Has anyone in Sweden got Oreo ?
Try with Firmware Finder from Huawei.

It doesn't work because the firmware is IMEI linked, so once downloaded you can't install it if your IMEI is not in the list. And if it was in the list, you had had received the OTA. It makes no sense, I know.
Thanks everyone for the responses.
I've tried getting in touch with Huawei/Honor customer support and they're useless... No info whatsoever.
I probably will sell the phone and buy something else, which leaves me a bit sad because I really like this phone... No more Honor or Huawei for me. They're very bad when it comes to software/security updates.
Again thank you everyone for your input!

The update pretty good from me. Bought since july last year, received july, august, september, november, january up until february security patch along with oreo emui 8.0. Yeah i just receive oreo 2 days ago... its pretty late but never mind as its pretty much the same... The only best thing for me is the Game Suite app and can change screen resolution to FHD... Better games frame rate. I'm from Malaysia.
Sent from my Honor 8 Pro using XDA Labs
Looks like the EU version (C432) is the forgotten one, stuck with B185 from last September...
I was on B189 before receiving 8.0 in late February (C432). Have you tried to boot it without a SIM card and searching for updates on WiFi?

Yes. And tried Hi-Suite tool too, no success. I've asked in other forums too and looks like they haven't released anything newer than B185 for units sold in Spain
I'm wondering when we can expect G960U1 to get the pie 9 update?
Also, I flashed from U to U1, will that change anything for me? Will I have to download firmware with the 9 update manually or will it come automatically? Thanks!

There is no exact date for launching Pie on U1 but it will be there in coming weeks. As on locked phones they started rolling out already.
Terribly frustrated u1 owner bere, been waiting for months now. It was way easier to force OTAs when I had a Motorola

True that and i am just wondering why on earth i bought Snapdragon Variant anyway as Samsung only support their own processor first.
It's always that way, Samsung always rolls out updates to the big market carrier phones first and unlocked phones last.

True not too bad, only 2 months after their initial release (Dec 2018). :silly:
It was inferred by Samsung Care yesterday that I shouldn't be surprised with a March OTA.
Regardless, T-Mobile will need to be completed before us and they are still in the "development" phase of OneUI.

Damn, back to development per T-Mobile's website.
Yep, T-Mobile pulled their update because of problems. I'm wondering now if that's going to delay the unlocked update. BTW, the 2/18 date came from a chat someone in the beta forums had with support.
