Updating from January to July Security Patch - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A friend wants me to update his phone. He currently has the January 2016 build. I update my Nexus 6 monthly so I am not sure about this... but do I have to install the security updates one month at a time till I get him caught up (UGH) or can I download the latest July update and flash it without issues?
And sorry if this has been asked before... I have searched all over here and google and just cannot find the answer.
Thanks!

Flash the latest.

Two updates for Nexus 6 in June?

I just want to check that this is known.
Were there two June updates?
I got two one around the 15th and another similar sized update on the 17th or so.
Did I get the same update twice?
Still says June 1, 2016 patch level

What version are you on now? If you're on MOB30M, you're on the newest.
yes, now on mob30m.
searching for mob30m for nexus 6 - suggests that there was a release for mob30j and mob30m
Thanks all

G935AUCS4APK1 update today (Nov. 18 2016)

It's 49MB, Nov. 1 security update, Nov. 5 kernel build.
Thanks for the heads up, Gary. Keep em coming.
Is there a firmware install? Don't really want to install Sept FW then Ota
I hope it fixes the bugs from the last update. I had to hard reset yesterday thanks to that mess.
Installed. Not seeing anything added or removed, just the change in kernel and security patch date.
No info found
THERE IS NOTHING ON THE ATT WEBSITE ABOUT THIS ONE YET
That last hot mess OTA that dropped a few days ago made my phone laggy as hell hope this new update fixes that

Same here. Just went to the TMOBILE firmware. First day in it today. Less bloat and better reception.

I am still on the PF2 (June security) and my phone shows that there are no updates available. How do I receive updates? Stock g935A on Cricket.

Yes, they said it is an ATT problem and to contact them. I am waiting to hear back from ATT but I am not hopeful as I have never been a customer of them before.

If not go to best buy, they should be able to update it for you, if there's no other way.

I'm on cricket also. Only way your gonna get at&t ota is if you use a SIM card from at&t. Didn't have to be active just on there network.
Hello again, someone who can upload this update please, looking at Google the last firmware (PJ4) i only find it in pay forums, a Chinese page and another that looks German, when I look for a new update only tells me that I have the current (PI2), I am from different country, so, to me updating via OTA is not possible, If someone could upload it would be much appreciated. :laugh:

Wow. It took over a month for the October Security patch and mere 10 days later for the November patch. Almost makes you wonder why they even bothered with the October patch.
about to go back to the ATT firmware later on today. Question: Since there is no Zip for the November update. If I do OTA from the September patch should I do a factory reset after November update. Ive always been wondering that.
After going back to 935a Sept patch. Try to update a of course. "Current software is up to date" ****ing hate AT&T! ???*
No PK4 zip yet. ????
I know this is just packaged as an Android Security update, but I'm having crazy good battery life since the update. Maybe just coincidence, but I'll take it.

Question for you. Are you running t-mobile U firmware? If so do you prefer it over AT&T?

This one is with the patch outdated. I would like the April patch.

I don't believe it is available. The upgrade to 8.1 with April patch is just available via OTA. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
April patch (+8.1) is only available as OTA for some channels.
This one is the most current ROM with March Patch: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939834159
However, 8.1 is still buggy so just take this link and wait till a new rom is released

First thing Android pie update will takes months to get it.
They seem to do Russia first to test so be patient it going to take a while to get it.
Samsung is going to be slow on this one.
Just to clarify, does A8+ have a Dec-Jan security patch update? Because i badly need that. I've been hitting the check update option on settings and it says I'm on the latest which is November.

Is the September security patch live for the S10 yet (SM-G973U1)?

I am assuming that Samsung does the monthly security updates...
It's monthly but it is usually not released till mid month each month. I have S9+ and updates I'm receiving are released closer to the end month.

Ah, okay. Sorry about the noob question. I just got the thing.
No but right now I'm getting my second update with the August 1 patch. This second one is larger than the first.
Yes, this is really strange as I already had the August Security Patch and got an update today and I thought it was the Sept patch but it seems to be a 2nd August Patch?View attachment 4817286

Anyone know of a way to turn off forced updates and just allow them when I want to install them?
On Sprint fw I had Sept1, after flashing U1 latest is Aug1 as of now.
I got the notification. I just wanted to be sure it works...

That is really weird, unless there were no such vulnerabilities.
