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

Thanks for the info !

I have that in my phone and have not yet installed November patch.
It's not from the latest update, I even had it on the september update
There are multiple sized updates for each release . May be it came as part of one of these . Unfortunately MI doesn't release change logs for A1 ?
Instant apps is part of Google Play Services update. So any smartphone with Android 6 and above will get it.

Hey Everyone,
Here a little guide on how to get updates faster:
1: Set Phone Region to India
2: Download NordVPN and get a plan
3: Set a VPN to India
4: Check for updates!
This way you can get it faster i just got the November patch in the Netherlands

No i have not i just got the december 2019 patch via this method
Is ur 4g still working because mine stopped working after I got the update??
Edit:had to remove my sim and insert it again and it worked
Just received the CPH1917EX_11_A.16 update via this way, it still doesn't add colosos 7 though.
Oppo updates aren't the greatest
Works for me too! A.16
hey there,
is there a chance to update just the security patch?
just for my understanding and learning-
i always downloaded on sammobile the firmware and flashed the 4 parts.
all is fine but i always had to delete my not-wanted Samsung and Google apps again and again.
is there a way to update the security patch without changing these settings?
where is the security patch integrated?
any help for understanding?
a link to learn?
thanks in advance!
I get this error message when I try to use the latest version of LockStar (v2.0.00.5):
The package of the wallpaper services has been uninstalled, so LockStar cannot be used.​
Has anybody else run into this problem?
I have a Tab S4 SM-T830 on factory Android 10 and June 2020 security patch, which is the latest available. I'm also using Nova Launcher but I don't think that's relevant as I get the same error if I switch back to One UI.

You will probably get a newer update(I do not know when, I think soon.So,you have to wait or if you want,flash it via Odin.ONLY the compatible CSC!)
You can see the compatibles CSC with "PHONE INFO ☆SAM☆" application from playstore...
Check the June file, is : T8300XM4CTF5
The newest file 1 August is : T8300XM4CTG4
with this update, it works properly without any problem
My opinion is : Better to wait a while, the newest update will come soon I think...
Before the update I had the same problem with LockStar. Now the problem is solved
Gl :good:
I am having that same problem now and I have the latest update.
