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
all factory images

I have Indian Moto Z Play stock Nougat 7.0 April Security Patch (RETIN software channel) with Magisk root & twrp recovery installed. The Nougat 7.1.1 OTA update will be rolled out for India after few days. So I want to install stock 7.0 April patched Recovery, so I can able to install the OTA update. Actually, I did forget to backup the stock 7.0 April Recovery. When I did flash the twrp recovery, it had replaced the stock recovery. So now I have not the backup of latest stock Moto 7.0 April patched Recovery.
I have a backup of the Stock boot.img by twrp and magisk also make a backup of the stock boot.img, so I have no problem for stock boot.img.
So I only need the latest stock 7.0 "APRIL Patched" Recovery for RETIN Indian Moto Z Play not from any other country.
And Please also pay attention that you will only share the latest stock 7.0 "APRIL PATCHED" Recovery for India RETIN, not old January or March patch recovery
Can I install old March Patched Recovery (from Nougat 7.0 March patched RETAIL Firmware ROM) on my latest April Patched RETIN Indian ROM. Will it support the upcoming June 7.1.1 ota update? Will I get any problems after installing old March Patched Recovery on new APRIL Patched ROM?
Hi,
I'm running on LineageOS 15.1 official. The latest update (April 3, 2018 i think) requires OnePlus 5T 5.0.4 modem update. I kinda wanna skip flashing OxygenOS 5.0.4 all together. I only wanna update the modem/firmware.
My question is: Is there any way for me to flash the modem/firmware 5.0.4 update without flashing the whole Oxygen OS 5.0.4 ?
Thanx
/Max

Hey, so I have the Canadian A5 2017 and have not received the Oreo update yet, once Its available for my phone i was planning on switching over to a custom Rom running Oreo 8.1 (can't yet since there's no oreo modem/boot loader available for my phone as far as I know). Just curious if it would be easier to root my phone now while it's on nougat and then install a custom Oreo Rom myself once the modem/bootloader are available?, or should I wait until I receive the Oreo OTA update and then root it after? Believe I read that there s a new boot loader lock of some sort that was introduced in the new new oreo that makes it a bit of a pain to unlock the boot loader. Also my phone is completely stock
Thanks for your help
Rooting on oreo is just a bit more difficult than nougat because of the rmm state, but there're a lot of way to bypass it easily. If you're on N just root without OTA updating oreo, but I don't know how many custom roms running stable oreo 8.1 exist. I had LineageOS 15.1 unofficial for A5 2017, great features but too buggy. Just look for something more stable
Obviously to flash a custom rom you need a custom recovery, but I think you knew it yet
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!

Does this mean 2018 is the latest vendor security patch level?

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
