Hi G3-Fans,
does anyone of you (with Stock) has an Android security patch level later than 2016-02-01?
A few months back I heard that LG is releasing a google patch which closes over 100 bugs/issues. So far, the software update does not show anything new (neither OTA nor Support Tool). Is there a way to enforce the patch installation manually?
Many thanks in advance .
Hallo guys & gals, I wanted to ask you guys about monthly Security Patches as Google has made bound all the OEMs to release monthly security patches for their devices. In this regard most of the devices are getting monthly or at least once in a couple of months but my Honor-6x is not getting any OTA update since April 2017.
Do you guys have any idea or does any body have any Honor 6x with a more recent security update patch?

Every month lol. The best Joke i have read.
Well, it depends on the region, US models are rarely updated (unlike EU and Indian variants)
I saw in your signature that your phone model is BLN-21. Could you check if your build ends with B360? If yes, an update should come out soon but meanwhile you should be able to force it, by going on system update > tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner > download latest update (if the option isn't there you cannot force it yet)
As you can see in these screenshots, in the 1st system update says that there aren't updates; in the 2nd, the option mentioned above is the first of the list, and finally in the 3rd i can download the update
Whoops i forgot the third screenshot, here it is
Well guys as you can see in my shared screen shot my device is on B361 of update level and the region is actual Pakistan which falls under middle east region. Now I actually created the thread to make it sure, whether my region is getting updates or not?
And thanks, @RedSkull23, I have tried your suggestion but as you see my device is already on B361.
I think my real problem is the update via firmware finder, and that's why my device isn't getting OTA updates. As the below screen shot reveals my device is on B361 but the security patch is 5 April 2017, and it is the time when this update was released and I updated my device through FF, since than I have tried a lot but I couldn't get any OTA update.

When I still had my 6x, the patch would come about 10-15 days after Google released it. Couldn't say it's timely, but it indeed come monthly.
Btw, I have a Chinese model 6x.
Monthly in China ? And others can go to hell ?
I had to push B365 after about 3 months after B360. Others don't get it at all.

Can you check or, do you remember if previous build number matches with the number of your actual build, or if not? If they doesn't match, maybe the FF update you did has moved you on a different build number, and so your software update won't find nothing because that's the latest package of your ACTUAL build, instead of the previous. Personally, i get confused every time that i finish to speak about FF updates because with all that packages stored and selectable, the number of possibilities that could provoke an issue are too much to be hold in mind at the same time
You are absolutely right FF has its very serious pros & cons. And yes, I think I remember the previous build number of my device, it was B360 and I did a full package download and dload upgrade on my device, and I also remember I was too much enthusiastic to find a sulotuion for the FM radio problem, yet in vain.

If update size is 200-300 mb then no, it will have the twrp recovery. Make sure you have stock recovery before trying OTA update

It may have the recovery then which may replace twrp. Better replace beforehand and then update as ota update will cause issue while boot on rooted phone
New update is coming..!!!

Recently I read that the galaxy a5 and a7 2017 got an update with camera improvements, one of the main features being selfie focus, a sort of portrait mode. The problem is that a lot of people already have it, other have had it before the update came out, and some don't even have the feature, like me. My security revision date is October 2017 and every day I manually search an update with the manually download button, but it says I have the latest software. If anyone knows any solutions for this without rooting/tripping the Knox counter it would be very appreciated
I got these features by updating my phone to sec. patch 2017-12 through sammobile. Just download there the newest firmware for your country and flash it using Odin, already did it two times and it never tripped knox.
Same here, no selfie focus update.I'm on December security patch.my CSC is THR ( iran) there is no new update for iran :crying:

And would It be possible to use a VPN app or something like that to get the update? I know there are countries that already have it.

no it's csc based.you have to change csc to another country that update already received ex : ser (Russia), but sometimes it will void knox warranty 0x1.
try this method if you want. i think combination method wiil not trigger knox.make backup frist and read instructions carefully, or wait few days for ota update
Hi,
After being back on stock room, it says that updates are not available because integrity was compromised...
Build ppx29.159-24
Is there any way to get around this ?
Thanks a lot for your help
PS: of course I unrooted and relocked the bootloader, but it's not enough apparently
ppx29.159-24 is the latest build I dont think any other carrier has a newer build or are you trying to install that build, if so I had a problem with it and it hard bricked my device after trying to swap slots in fastboot
Thanks for your answer. But I also haven't had a security update since july... That's why I assumed it isn't updating anymore... Is there a way to at least flash the security updates manually ?

Surprising but true. Moto has not released any updates for this device with any later security updates than July 2019. So much for a flagship, from 2017 August though.

No. Not unless you compile the kernel from source, and managed to port the rest of Android framework. Though specs could be similar, each "device" - screen, touch digitizer, sensors, camera, etc. will have different drivers.
Hi, This machine arrived this morning and using the dialler (update mode) I managed to download the firmware using C432E135R1P135 and installed Google Play very easily.
Now the machine is running great and all apps work but I noticed the security patch is April 2020 with No updates?.
Anyone know how to find/install updates

Hi,
Just for info I used eRecovery and that found a later version 4.6gb, I then ran updates from the updates and it found three so I'm now on 11.0.0.168 with March 21 security patch.
Just to also confirm that my Google apps all work fine.
