I am still on Nougat 7.1.1 with August 1st, 2017 security patch. While we do have root and safestrap available for our phones. I have been patiently waiting on a BL unlock.
One UI is looking so good it is tempting me to update and lose my ability to root and possible BL unlock in the future. I wanted to find out what you guys are planning when the release of stable One UI comes out.

Can you guys point me in the right direction. I'm currently on rr remix but my security updates are from September 2017, how do it get the latest security updates?
Thanks!

You got that from settings > about? That's from the ROM base. You could update firmware to get any that are provided for that, but otherwise you'll have to wait for the developer to update the ROM with a new base.
Truthfully though, it's nothing to worry about. Concern with new possible exploits are mostly overblown. They are discovered by security companies and more times than not, hackers haven't discovered it themselves yet.
Got it, thanks bro!
Hello all,
Have an unlocked rooted Moto G5 Plus here on T-Mobile currently running stock NPN25.137-33 (Nougat 7.0 - January 1, 2018 security patch) and I just received this update notification for a VoLTE fix named NPN25.137-35. It's relatively small (~48mb) , here's hoping one of the more experienced devs can incorporate this into their Nougat ROM's moving forward and also hopefully make a TWRP flashable zip for those of us who just want to upgrade their stock rooted roms.
Cheers!

My system info (pre-patch, of course):
If I flash this I will get my IMEI back or no? I didn't understand sir????
A little confused by this as well, your screenshot is showing January 2017 security patch and your ota is an old one. Are you just now getting this update through TMobile? Glad I bought the unlocked version if that's the case

Just wanted to contribute in case this OTA wasn't already out there (couldn't find it in my searches). I know that the current stock ROM version is 93-4 with the March security patch being pushed out to some regions...wanted to share the patch in case it wasn't pushed to other carrier versions so that it could help add robustness to existing Nougat ROMS, especially for VoLTE TMO users.
Wait.. this is a very old update.. the newer updates have NPNS instead of NPN
Edit: just read your comment, ignore this
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
So I just got the Galaxy Tab S4 SM-T830...
Currently, it's sitting on Android Ver. 8.1.0
Build No. M1AJQ.T830XXU1ARH5
Android Security Patch June 1, 2018
It's asking me to update to the T830XXU2ARJ3 Build Number Oct. 1, 2018 Security Patch...
Do I take the update? I don't want to lock down the device by accepting anything that I shouldn't. I might want to root and install custom ROMs in the future, so that's why I'm asking first.
Thanks in advance!

I have not rooted or installed TWRP. I did upgrade my SM-T835C to U2ARJ3 and I have "OEM Unlock" available in Developer mode. Again I am all official right now. (I have not decided if I want to break AirWatch with this tablet yet or not ) Now if there was a way to keep AirWatch Hub working then that would make want to root faster!
Can anyone confirm whether taking the update will prevent future flexibility with rooting, non stock ROMS etc? Also, can anyone shed any light on what updates/improvements/benefits the update includes (outside of security patch)? Any insight much appreciated!
Sorry to bump but still very curious! Been checking this thread for updates since I asked a while back. Any noteworthy improvements? Still haven't updated.
I didn't even think about the bootloader version before installing TWRP. I just installed it today on T830XXU2ARK4. After installing TWRP, trying to boot into android caused a bootloop until I installed magisk.
I am wanting to get the latest security updates for the Pixel 3 XL but do not want to upgrade to Android 10 (for the time being).
I saw the latest update for Android Pie for 3 XL was August 2019.
Is there a way to get the current security update without being forced to upgrade to Android 10?

No, the latest updates are all on 10. Is there a reason you haven't taken any 10 updates? If your holding out for a Verizon bootloader unlock, don't hold your breath. No offense to Fern and whoever else is working on it, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I really like having the ability to swap the navigation buttons. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/android-10-swap-navigation-bar-menu-t3966439).
Plus...I've read a good few posts where people aren't happy with battery life and prefer going back to Pie.
