How to stay in Marshmallw and get security updates? - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hi, I just bought a new MZP, still on v6.0, Magisk rooted and TWRP installed.
I have disabled system upgrade to avoid battery drain in 7 or 8. My question is, how do I get security upgrade if I stay on V6? Is there flashable zip from Moto?
Thanks for any tips,

No way to do this, especially on stock rom, to get the last security update from motorola (which is Little older) you will need to update all system updates from them, standalone security updates os feature that get announced on android q which is not officially update by motorola.

[OTA] NPN25.137-35 - April 2018

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

Do I take this update?

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.

Unfortunately no, it doesn't work like that.. The security update and OS update are not modular components, you can't mix and match to suit preference/taste.
If you want the security update you will have to download (and install) the update that is provided in it's entirety.

Does anyone have the HD1901_11_F.18 zip?

I have been trying to download the OTA - but it gets stuck and fails installation, any help with the installation or just the OTA zip file so i can manually load it locally.
I got the OTA, but didn't realize I had to grab the zip before installing. I'm trying to get the boot.img out so I can root, so I'm looking for the OTA as well.
Do not install it , I updated it and since then can not find system update in settings , nothing at all
That's the one that takes you to A12, I just spent yesterday downgrading back to 11, rerooting, etc
I personally don't recommend it if you're satisfied with your phone now, unless there is something about OOS 11 you really dislike or an A 12 feature you really want.
Can anyone confirm that the new update does in fact fix the connection issues that the previous update had? And possibly the automatic brightness issue as well. Those were really the only two issues I had with Android 12 and if those are fixed, I wouldn't mind updating again.
I have downloaded and installed F.18 thru Oxygen Updater.
After update to F.18, the dual SIM not working

Stock rom with latest security patches?

Hi,
is it possible to keep the stock rom and install newest google security patches?
It would be better to keep everything as it is (also user data) and just install security patches.
I love this phone and I don't need a new one. I'm also fine with the stock rom.
The only thing what bothers me is that the last security patch is 5 months ago.
(im familiar with flashing custom roms years ago: cyanogenmod on galaxy s3, lineagueos on s5. But since then I did not get in touch with the custom roms topic)
Thank you!

If you're on A12 try using Oxygen Updater to see if a later update is available.
Otherwise 1+ has ended updates for the 7 series

Yes oneplus ended updates and I don't like custom roms.
So the only option for me would be to buy a new phone just because I want security patches...

Afraid so. Security updates are pretty much over once the manufacturer stops tweaking the patches for a particular line.
Even Google only promises Pixel security updates for 5 years.
